THE DEMOCRATS AND Hal.

Two Of the officers of the Thirty-frst
Indiana Veteran association that signed
the highly complimentary resolutions of
Col. HallowelI, passed at the Terre
Haute reunion, and which were pub
lished by the EAGLE the other day, are
prominent Democrats. There is not a
Democrat belonging to the gallant old
Thirty-first who would not support
Hallowell with enthusiasm if he but
lived in the big Seventh. But enough
Kansas Democrats will vote for him to
make good the absence of his old
comrades.

The meeting in New York Of the Iron
and Steel Institute, assembling rs 1t does
greatest of industries, ought to be pro-
ductive of material good. England and
America can learn much from one an
other in the great art Of iron and steel
making, and the fact that the most not
able of manufacturers and experts in the
trade come together TO confer and advise
with one another is one Of the most sig
nifcant Of modern tendencies. Ii is a
symptom of a condition that will soon
exist, the legitimate sequence Of recip-
rocity before the solution of information
al commercial intercourse is put 10 the
practical test.

GOVERNOR HUMPHREYS CAMPAIGN

For the past week Governor Hum
phrey has been speaking to southwest
audiences. Among other places at King
man, Cunningham, Pratt, Dodge City
and Larned and last night at Kinsley.
Col. Emmett Callahan who accompanied
the governor says that with a single ex-
ception the meetings were not only sat-
isfactory and encouraging but enthusiast
tic. The governor has been taking up
the question of the Democratic origin Of
demonstrating the fact that the organ
ization is being controlled in the interest
of the Democratic party and against the
Republican party wholly. No Dem
ocratic nominations are made where
they will conflict with the AL
lance ticket anywhere, and only
where it is thought that a Democratic
ticket would help out the Alliance. At
one Of his meetings a man and his wife
stepped out and promptly took off their
Alliance ribbons. The governor was &C
corded a very warm reception at Dodge
City, at which place the Santa Fe and
Union Pacific railway employees were
holding a celebration. In short, it seems
that the governor is doing good work In
the Big Seventh not only for himself but
for the Republican ticket and the Re
publican cause.
Col. Callahan spoke at five or six
points with the governor, and he says
the Democratic report that he abused

There is funny social war in Bethle-
hem, Pa. 1t appears that for long
time the students at Lehigh University
have monOpolized the attention of the
young ladies of the town during the col
lege year The young men of the town
resented being crowded into the back
ground and put into operation an organ
lied plan to cut direct every young lady
who received any attentions from a stu
dent. The girls could not endure this,
especially as they were left disconsolate
during vacation time. So they turned
about, and in self-protection organized a
boycott against their former devoted at
tendants, the students. Now the victory
is with the town young men, while the
students are forced to seek consolation
in their books. To what purpose will
the boycott be put next?

AN EXCITING CONTEST.
The Competition Between the Rocket

| The Competition Between the Rocket
and Novelty Locomotives.
On the day of the competition-Octo-
ber 6, 1s29-the "Rocket" was the only
locomotive ready, and the trial of the
| "Novelty" was postponed until the 11th,
when the pipe from the forcing-pump
broke and brought it to speedy termin-
alton. This was repaired in the course
of day, and the engine made several
trips in the absence of the judges. On
its trial before the judges on the next
day, ''green joint" yielded, and tho
choleric Ericsson somewhat too has
tily. smarting under what he considered
some unfairness, withdrew his engine,
and the award was given to Stephenson,
who had alone fulfilled every stipulated
condition"
Still, the judges in their report said,
"the appearance of the Novelty is very
much in it's favor; the machinery is in
geniously contrived towork out of sight,
and the whole form is as compact ma
chine as can be imagined" The London

commentaries the similar heroic action
of Christian Maori, who had been a
pupil of Doctor Selwyn's when he was
Bishop of New Zealand.
This Maori, Henere Taratoa, when the
war broka out, felt bound to join his
tribe. He was placed in obarge of a
fortified village known as the formida-
BILE Gate Pa" The British troops
stormed the pa and were repulsed with
great slaughter.
Several wounded officers were left in
side tho village, and one of them feebly
moaned for water. There was no water
to be had, the nearest being within the
British lines. AT night this young Chris
tian Maori crept down, at the risk of his
life, within the line of English sentries,
filled vessel with water, and carried 1t
back to the pa to refresh his dying ene-
my's lips.
The next day the British again stormed
the place, and Henere was killed. On
his person was found the text of Holy
Scripture which had suggested the deed:
If thine enemy thirst, give him drink.
The Maories went to war to maintain
their right to territory of which they
had been unjustly deprived. Hundreds
of them had received Christianity as
taught by Bishop Selwyn, and, singular
as it may seem, tried to wage war ac-
cording to Christian principles.
One day British officer, commanding
a fort on the Waikota, saw several large
canoes coming down the stream, with a
white flag flying. On stopping them, he
learned that they were from very
strong pa, up the river, and were loaded
with potatoes aud several milch goats,
as present to the British General and
his soldiers. The chiefs of the pa, hav-
ing heard that the English troops were
short of provisions, were carrying out
literally the Scripture injunction they
had learned in the mission schools: If
thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he
thirst, give him drink. YOUTHS Com

STORY OF A DIAMOND.
1t Cost the Life of the Poor Wretch Who
Discovered 1t.


Discovered 1t.
"There's the most beautiful diamond
have ever seen during an experience
of thirty years with the sparkling
gems" said q veteran diamond merchant
yesterday, as he held up stone that
seemed to live in fire. From every
facet radiated brilliant colors, and the
hue of the stone was that steely blue
which delights every connoisseur OF
the precious gems. Tho diamond did
not weigh over six carats, but it was
easily worth $1,000.
"That stone has tragic history"
continued the man of jewels as he laid
the diamonds to rest amid a nest of
snowy cotton. "It comes from the De
Beers mines, il South Africa, and was
discovered by Soolie employed by the
company. His ,ractised eye saw that
the gem was a I arvelous one for beauty
of color, and a desire TO steal it over
came him. Well, he did steal it, and to
conceal the diamond abou his person
for the coolies work almost naked in the
diamond mines-cut hole in his flesh
under the arm. But the wound did not
heal, and the observant eye of the fore
man saw what was the matter. A few
days after he charged the coolie with
having stolen diamond, but the negro
denied it.
"When Jack, the foreman, reached
for his sore arm the thief made dash
and ran toward the outskirts Of the
camp like deer. The foreman fol-
lowed him, but the feet-footed negro
outstripped him. He knew that a severe
punishment awaited him if captured,
and centered all his effort on getting
away with the stone, whose value would
have made him rich for life. But Jack
was equal to the emergency, and draw
ing his pistol shot the coolie through
the back just as he was taking to- the
hills. His dead body was dragged back
into camp, his arm cut open and the
beautiful gem in the rough was taken
from the insertion. It's tragic story,
but true as gospel, and only a sample
of what has happened mare than hun
