DUNNELL,s PARADOX.

Mr.. DUNNELL'S platform is something
Of political paradox, as we'll as liter
airy curiosity. 1t would not be Dun
nellism if there were not good deal
of toadyisms and any amount of per-
sonal vindictiveness. Therefore, the
platform which MI. DUNNELL had writ
ten for himself to stand upon, and
which was adopted by the convention of
First district postmasterS who renomi-
mated Mr.. DUNNELL, is slOp-over Oh
BLAINE and direct cut at MERRIAM.
The careful Endorsement of c. X.
DAVIS, and the parade of his services
in connection with the pension bill, was
intended to emphasize Mr.. DUNNELL's
hostility to Gov. MERRIAM's senatorial
aspirations. Still, it is not much WON
der that man of DUNNELL'S brains
and experience in public affairs should
feel wee bit sour to find himself dis
tanced in the political race by strip
ling whose sole recommendation to po-
litical honors is his pocketbook. But
Mr.. DUNNELL is only sharing the fate
that is common to all the other Mime
sofa politicians who had not the good
fortune to be born in a bank, and he
ought to learn to bear his hardship with
the meekness and accomplishing spirit
that the other fellows are exhibiting.
The paradoXical feature Of Mr.. D UN
NELL's platform is the tariff plank,
which is thoroughly at variance with
Mr.. DUNNELI.'s record in congress, and
which may be fairly construed into a
confession that his support of the Nc
KINLEY bill was mistake. The plat
form. heartily Endorses the BLAINE
reciprocity idea without making a SIN
gle reference to the MCKINLEY bill.
Mr.. DUNNELL voted for the MCKIN-
LEY bill, and yet Mr.. BLAINE says that
it does not bear fairly and equally upon
all classes. So far as it affects the agri-
cultural industry, Mr.. BLAINE says:
"There is not section OF line in
the entire bill that will open market
for another bushel of wheat OF another
barrel of pork"
And yet MARK III. DUNNELL is on
the record as having voted for that bill.
Are we not right in saying that his
platform, when compared with his rec
ord. is something Of paradox?
Yea, verify.

THE PROBABLE RATIO.

The ratio of the congressional repre-
sentation under the new census is a
matter of considerable discussion, and
many improbable views are taken. A
computation made at Washington pre-
sumes that the membership of the house
would remain as at present, 1872, includ-
ing the new states. This is not at all
probable. The present ratio is little
less than $4,000. With no increase of
membership this would have to be
raised above 100000, and Massachusetts,
New York and Ohio would lose two
each, and half dozen other states one
each. 1t is notable that this state aud
Nebraska are the only states that would
gain two each of the members lost by
other states. The probable ratio is a
figure that will avoid loss to any state,
and increase the total number to about
$50, or few more. z;s

of the Indians on the Rosebud agency
in South Dakota, and finds that there
are 5,166 men, women and children To-
Gated there. As the Indian Office for
the last several years has been distrib-
uting rations at the agency on the basis
of population of about 1900. naturally
the inquiry rose as to what had become
of the other 2,334 Indians and their ra-
tions. This query was put to Indian
Agent Wright, who had reported each
quarter the number who drew rations.
and in reply he asked to be allowed to
take the enumeration himself, whichi
was done, At this enumeration only
about 1875 more Indians were found than
in Mr.. LEAFS count. He thereupon acs
counted for the discrepancy by stating
that an epidemic had prevailed among
the Indians last year and that the prev5
alence of the measles and smallpox had
taken off large number. The agency
physicians. however. report only uine3
teen deaths during the year. Amin
yeStigation will be had.

there was agitation over proposition to
increase the duty on imports to a moder-
ate extent. The average of the duties
then was &c per cent. Mr.. WEBSTER
opposed the increase. He said: ITO
individuals this policy is as injurious as
it is to government. A system of arti-
fetal government protection leads the
people to too much reliance upon gov
eminent" WEBSTER was right then,
whatever measures he may have favored
later. He did not foresee that the time
would come when the country would
be saddled with duties averaging Al per
cent, and the protected classes would
be demanding still higher imposts as
the price of their material support of
the party in power. DANIEL was not
that much of prophet.

JUMPED TO CERTAIN DEATH.
An Illinoisan and Daughter Leap
From u Moving Train.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Among
the passengers on an early express train
from this city to New York this morn
ing, was a well-dressed old man, who
was accompanied by little girl. Moth
ing unusual in the actions of the old
gentleman or the little girl attracted
the attention of the other passengers
until just before the train reached
Holmes junction. way station about
ten miles from this city. At this point
the old gentleman said something to his
young companion, and arising from his
seat, went forward and, opening the
door, stepped out on the platform. and
although the train was running at a
high rate of speed, he jumped off. The
little girl, who had been watching him,
saw him jump, and before the passen-
she had run to the front of the car
and sprang after him. The train
was stopped and backed to the spot
where the two had jumped off. The
old man was found lying beside the
track dead and the little girl was
stretched insensible short distance
from his body. The body of the man
and the insensible form of the little
girl were placed upon the train and
brought to this city and both were
taken to all hospital. An ex-
animation of the injuries of
the child revealed that she was fatally
injured. When she recovered conscious
ness she said that the old gentleman
was her father and that his name was
Stephen Beck, and that hers was Lelan
Beck, and that they lived in st. Clair
county. Illinois, and were bound for
Hamburg, Germany. On the body of
Mr.. Beck was found two checks on St.
Louis bank for $4,000 marks and $95 in
money. The examination by the hos
pital physicians showed that in jump
ing after her father the devoted little
daughter had sustained fracture of
the skull and internal injuries, and, al
though everything was done to save her
life. she died shortly after noon.
Lieut.. DUNCAN, of the Fifteenth
police district, made minute of the in
spection of the dead mans effects, and
in his report to the police department
he states that Beck had evidently left
his home suddenly. From letters it wa
learned that the deceased had been
held in $500 bail for felonious assault
upon little girl, and that he had given
a check to his bondsmen to cover the
amount, and then prepared to flee the
country. He had naturalization papers
dated Aug. l, 1890. The lieutenant
states that a strong smell of whisky
was noticeable on the corpse, and he
thinks he was intoxicated when he
leaped from the train. Whether the
liquor had produced mania that led the
man to the rash act, or whether he be-
came suddenly insane and imagined the
Illinois authorities were chasing him,
will probably never been known.

LURID SHEET OF FLAME.
A $4,000 Confagration on the
West Side.


West Side.
Shortly before midnight last night a
fire alarm was turned in from box us.
Engine Company No. was the first to
arrive at the scene of the fire, which
had already taken firm hold and was
burning fercely in the lmflammable
material stored about the premises of
the Independent Oil company OH Eaton
avenue. Several hundred barrels
of oil were stacked in the building in
which the fire originated, but SO rapidly
had it spread that the entire place was
mass OF flame in few moments. Half
a dozen streams of water were soon
pouring into the heart of the confagra-
ton, but the bursting of a score
of barrels of naphtha had covered half
all acre Of ground with lurid sheet of
flame. upon which water had little or
no effect. Within twenty-five yards of
the scene of the outbreak stand two
enormous tanks flied with kerosene, and
the knowledge that should the fire be
communicated to these terrific eXplo-
sion would occur Spurred the depart
ment to tremendous effort in checking
its progress in that direction. Fortu
unately the wind blew half gale
in direction opposite that in which the
tanks stood, and the determined work
of the firemen accomplished the rest.
After the first futile effort to swamp
the flames the attention of the
venting further entertainments in the
dangerous direction. A pile of several
thousand empty barrels stood between
the tanks and the raging furnace
i'll front. Over these tons of water
were poured, and the men worked mag
nificently in tearing away debris which
might have been the means of causing
a disastrous explosion. None of the bar
relS containing naptha and oil of differ
ent kinds exploded. They simply burst
open, and the burning fluid ran all over
the fiat, burning itself out.
Richard M. Gibson, clerk employd
by MesSrs. Richardson & Bartles, the
resident managers of the company, re-
sides close to the scene of the fire. He
was about to retire when he saw flames
shooting from the roof of the sheds, and
went to the spot. There he found the
Waterman, Thomas Rate, who had
already turned in an alarm by tele
phone. Rafte stated to a GLOBE repre-
sentative that he was making the
rounds as usual, and was carrying
lantern. He had to pass close to where
quantity of benzine used in paint
ing barrels was stored. When he
was close by the cask of benZine the
latter ignited from the flame of the
lantern, and in second that portion of
the building in which he stood was OIL
fire. 1T was just like a flash of light
ming" he said. "As soon as saw that
| couldn't do anything alone l
went and turned in an alarm over
the telephone. Mr.. Gibson stated that
the actual damage would be between
$4,000 and $4,000. The premises and
stock of oil are fully insured in the
Pennsylvania. Etna, and Travellers In
surance companies. At 1870 a. M. the
fire had been completely subdued.

ing every good looking woman he
passed, he made advances to Miss Jen-
ME Hall, who tried to pass him, when
he attempted to take hold of her para
sol. At this interesting point an officer
appeared and escorted him to the sta
ton. He was candid enough to tell
Judge Emery that he thought he had
made mistake, and the urbane Judge
politely charged him up with $50 for be-
ing so in correct. Lizzie Hart and Cora
Goodrich. pair of maidens from an
East side resort, were fined 800 for not
selecting more stylish quarters. The
actual cause, however, was bout with
bare knuckles in which they had en-
gagged while under the influence of
Mumm's extra. A companion paid the
fine. John Carr enriched the public
treasury by contribution of $40 for the
pleasure of using the streets as prom
enade while well filled with Kentucky
