territories for the purpose of making
otfice-seekirg their business. While it
is possible that the stable element,
being so largely in the majority. may
assert its power and overthrow all these
combinations, and put state tickets in
the field composed exclusively of the
best representative citizens, still there
is not much probability that the control
of the nominating conventions can be
wrested from the professional pollti-
clans. The chances for real good
ticket arc better in Montana than in the
other new states, because of the more
equal division of political power. Each
party there is put on its good behavior,
and the nomination of a strong state
ticket becomes positive party neces-
sity. 1t would be fortunate for the other
new states if party strength could be
more evenly divided, for in that event
the show for good start in statehood
would be much improved over the eX-
listing conditions.

JUDICIAL GOODNESS.

Judge FIELDS California episode has
started the Washington society gossips
to talking about tie strained relations
between Judge FIELD and Chief Justice
FULLER. 1t is said that Judge FIELD
had his heart set on the chief justice
ship, and when he was passed by and
plain Lawyer FULLER, of Chicago, was
selected, he was so piqued by the dis
appointment he actually behaved rudely
toward President CLEVELAND, and has
ever since made it point to show his
contempt for the chief justice. 1t is an
open secret in Washington that Chief
Justice FULLER reciprocateS the cool
ness on the part of Justice FIELD, and
takes no pains to conceal his dislike for
his venerable associate on the bench.
Judge FIELD has passed the age which
entities him to retire on pay, and the
supposition is that the recent tragic oc-
currence in California will hasten his
retirement from the bench, in which
event the already too large Republican
majority on the bench will be in
creased.

SALTWATER, Aug. 2O.-The very Sc
we're electric storm that broke over the
city soon after midnight was the most
violent that has visited the valley for
years, and resulted in considerable
damage in the city and vicinity. Three
valuable horses belonging to Hon. John

teams. The dwellings of Herman Luh-
man on Harriet street: A. Mcdonald,
Wilken street, and Prison Guard Gold

somewhat damaged, especially Mr.. Nc
Donald house. A barn owned by man
named Hammond, a neighbOr of Nc
Donald, was also struck. In no case
was building fired by the electric cur
rent, nor was any person injured,
though at McDonald's the lightning
came near enough to the servant girl in
bed to give her a severe shock. In the
village of HoultOn, opposite the city,
the house of Frenchman, whose name
is not known, was struck and the in
| mates shocked. Early in the progress
of the storm the line of the Saltwater
Electric Light company was struck
and disabled, eXtinguishing every
street light in the city for the remain
der of the night. Some of the streets
were badly washed as a result of the
very heavy rain, the greatest damage

NEW STATE POLiTICs.

Now that they are about through with
constitution making, the four new
states are taking a whirl at politics.
The political leaders are laying plans to
capture the offices that have been ere
ated by the new constitutions, and the
promise is for exciting times in the
Northwest for the next few weeks.
Fortunately for the farmers, they are
through with their harvesting, and, being
in jubiIant frame of mind over the
crop yield, can listen more patiently to
the voice of the officeseeker than they
might otherwise have done. The indi-
cations so far are that politics in the
new states will not differ materially
from what it is in the older mem
bers of the Union. The professional
politician holds the inside track, with
the prospect that the farmers, who con-
stitute the bulk of the voting popula-
ton, will have to be content with pick
ing up crumbs that fall from their
masters tables. The different cliques
have already parceled out the Offices
among themselves, and the nominating
conventions will only be scramble
among the various cliQues for mastery
of the situation. So far the various
81 ates or combinations that have been
made by the Republicans in the new
states that are claimed as reliably Re-
publican are largely constituted of the
adventurous classes who went into the

HOMELESS AND HUNGRY.
Flood Sufferers in West Virginia
in Need of Aid.

PARKERsBURGss w. Va, Aug. co.
The victims of the recent disastrous
ffoDd on Tucker, Tygart. State, Little
Sandy and other creek valleys, are
many of them in sad need of help.
They are houseless and homeless, and
but for the charity of their once poor
neighbors, the hill farmers, the suffer-
ing would be terrible. AS it is the drain
upon the resources of the farming com
munitieS which escaped the flood is too
great to be long withstOod. The towns
and villages are doing all in their power
to relieve them, but their assistance is
entirely inadequate. While the de-
privations and suffering is great at this
time, it will probably be greater within
a few weeks when the weather gets
colder. There are miles of desolate
territory, with scarcely house left
standing and not veStige of crops.
The homeless women and children are
scattered among the hill farmers, while
the men are searching for work over
the desolate country. Taken altogether,
the outlook for these poor people during
the coming winter is.a gloomy one.

ter than expected, and is of high grade.
Much of it is beginning to find its way

LONDON, Aug. 21.-It was reported in

best of terms with the prisoner, and
did not think during the trial she
would be convicted. He did not think
the prosecution desired conviction. So

Unto DEATH" Peculiar to South
erners.
New YORK, Aug. 2O.-The New York
attorneys for Mrs. Maybrick received
this morning from an anonymous cor
respondent letter explaining the use
of the expression, Il am sick unto
DEATH" which occurred in Mrs. May
bricks letter to Briefly, and upon which
Judge Stephen placed much Importance.
The correspondent writes:
! yield to the solicitations of friends to
communicate with you Oh behalf of Mrs.
Maybrick. You will learn from Southerners
that the sentence sick unto DEATH used in
the Briefly letter, and construed by the judge
to mean darkly and all intent to kill, is a
Southern vernacular in common use among
women in the Gulf and other states to ex-
press any painful illness, however slight it
may be. She would say, II am sick unto
DEATH" if merely suffering from a sick
headache or sickness of the stomach. TO
express dangerous illness she would be very
apt to say, very i'll, OF very sick.
The attorneys think this is an i'm
portant point, and will send the letter
to the British home secretary.
