Grand Master Sweeney Talks.

Grand Master Sweeney, of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid association, was seen
Monday morning. He was as conselva-
tive as ever but was evidently smarting
under the insolent treatment he had re-
ceived Sunday at the hands Of Superin-
tendent Burrows, who even refused 10
talk to him Mr.. Sweeney said:

Lchigh valley switchInen,

A rumor was curI ent Monday morn
ing that the LehiEh Valley men had
gone out, but such was not the case. 1t
was learned that the rnnor arose from
the threat of the switchmcn to 90 eut if
the road moved Central freight. On
Saturday night Central stock train
was run in on the Lchigh tracks and the
switchmen declared they would strike If
it was not sent back where it belonged.
The road accedei to this request and
sent the Central train back.

On the Lake shore.

There is no strike as yet on the Lake
Shore road, but the switching of freight
for the road is all done in the Central
yards, and they are not only already
glutted with freight but have no switch
men. So the management has been
obliged to find other places to store its
accnmulations and has utilized every
available siding.

TIE RIFT PRES I0ERTIAL
ECr-'s

At the last Ia. ublican Conven
ton geography beat General Algel
ont OF the Presidential nomination
Had General Harrison lived il
Michigan ard General Alger lived
in Indiana, the latter would now be
President of the United States
We hope to see the time when
this geographical bngaboo will 20
longer rear its head in a National
Republican Convention. aud we
believe that the party will be strong
enough in 1892 to deal with a great
National question withc ut any petty
geographical Interference
We believe that the time has
passed when the fight viii. be SO
close that a doubtful State will be
regarded as the only soil fit to
produce the proper kind of Presi-
dental timber.
With the acquisition of tour new
Republican States to the party
ranks the result will not hinge upc,
any one State, much less any doubt
fzl State
Look how absurd AID ridiculous
the whole thing is. Two men are
before National Convention. One
man, by his popularity and tact as
politician. is the party leader in
his own State and has built the
party structure on SO firm a fonda
ton that his State is overwhelming
ly Republican. Under all eircum-
stances it can be counted certain
for the party.
He has a rival in the Convention
who Ia party leader in doubtful
State. This rival, for some reason
or another, has been unable 10 mass
his followers in such a way that
there is any certainty in the result.
BY injudicious work he has broken
the party up until the State goes
Democratic one year and Repub-
hcan the next.
Now, his weakness at home, by
SEINE strange anomaly, becomes his
strength in the Convention, and he
becomes the National nominee be
cause his failure as a party leader
in his own State has thrown 1t into
the doubtful" list.
Now it is high time that this sort
of nonsense was done away with, |
and that the party selected its
Presidential nominee with some
reference to the man and not the
State he comes from.
In the next campaign the Repub-
lican party can select a nominee
from the smallest county in Texas
and win.
Men all ever the Union feel that
a great injustice was done General
Alger by the only charge made
against aim, /. e.: that he came
from a dead certain Republican
State.
AIger was not shrewd the year
before the Convention met. He
should have raised the devil in his
party in Michigan, split in in two.
given the State to the Democrats
and then come to Chicago with the
record staring the Convention in
the face, that in 1885 the Demo-
Gratis carried Michigan by about
5000 majority.
But Alger had gwen his money,
his time and his brains 10 the he
publican party in Michigan and
cemented it with mis- tact and pres
tige, and the, National Convention at
Chicago housed him in consequence.
We believe that this injustice
done him at that time will be wiped
out in 1892, for from all sides the
leading men of the party are center
ing on him as the NEST available
man to nominate de
lsems up over the political herizcn
in a way that overshsdows every
other name.

Richmond, in that State April 5,
1916, graduated at the medical de-
pariment at Pennsylvania College,

pubic affairs in Kentucky, although
taking no part in politics, he removed
to Keokuk, In. There he became
leader of The republican party, and
was offered many state and local
Offices, all of which he declined, per-
ftring TO devote his entire time to his
profession. He was appointed asso-
ciate judge of the supreme court in
1862 by President Lincoln, which
position he continued 10 hold until
his death. although his age and the
length of his services entitled him to
the privilege of retirement in 1886.

HER HALLUClNATION.
1t So Preys Upon Gertrude's
Mind That She Takes Her
Own Life.

London. October, 10. Very sad,
sensational and extraordinary is the
story of Miss Gertrude Brown IS
brought to light by the inquest on her
body day before yesterday. Miss
Brown was very attractive young
lady who on the Oath of last May ar.
rived in England from Australis, and
since then seemed to be possessed by a
fatal hallucination which caused her a
few days since to take fatal dose of
laudanum and cut her throat with a
razor.
She believed, and nothing could
shske her conviction. that ON ship
board she had been drugged and then
dishono,ed 10y man she cnnld not
name. The thought so preyed upon
her mind that she sank into chronic
melancholy. One day in fit of dis
pair she told the story to her uncle.
"Who is your betrayer?" he aske I,
perhaps he may marry you
"No, he cannot" answered Ger
trude. He is married man.
"But what evidence have you"
continued the uncle, chat what you
sS is true?"
Miss Brown was forced to admit she
had none whatever. She lad seen
no one, nor had she heard any one
enter her cabin, which was shared by
lady companions, who, furthermore,
had heard nothing. The statement
seemed so singular that the girls un-
Gle, as well ss his wife, who subse-
quently heard the conversation,
arrived at the conclusion that Miss
Brown was the victim of an halluci-
nation resulting in hysieria. Such
curious mistakes are not common in
these days, and it would have heen
amusing had it not been tragic Moths ;
however, that her friends could Say
was able to shake the poor giPs cou-
viction that she was enceinte, and the
outcome was that she took her life.
The post norton examination de-
monstratcd beyond a question that
the girl was as pure the day she died
as on the day of her birth.
