St Joseph. A. that city was reached at

cup Of coffee before entering the city. At the
union depot an immense crowd was assembled
and the President was evidently pleased at the
generous reception rendered him at such an

Conspicuous in the sssemblage was Custer
Post Of the GAR, which, drawn up in line,
made q passageway for the President and his
party and acted a. their escort until the neigh
boring hotel was reached where the public
reception was to take place. As the
President and Secretary Tracy appeared on the
escort of Col A. c. Dawes, general passenger
agent Of the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad,
. hearty cheer burst from the crowd.
'Citizens Of st. Joseph" said Col. Dawes,
sit 10 not necessary for me to make speech Of
welcome to the President Of the United States.
His time with us being limited, Inow have the
pleasure Of introducing to you Benjamin Har-
rison, President Of the United States. tGrea,
applause.l
The President then spoke briefly upon the
growth Of st. Joe and the west and thanked
the throng for its reception. At the con.
retired to the rotunda Of the depot, where
the President shook hands with the crowd
q they fled through. Postmaster Charles F,
Ernest, on behalf Of Custer Post No. q
GAR, presented the President with hand
some bouquet, which was gracefully acknowl
edged. Just before the train pulled out little
Adele Hayes, the four-year-old niece of Col A
@. Dawes, presented the President with q
beautiful bouquet and was rewarded with g
kiss from the nations chief executive.
At exactly 7:S0 the train pulled out of st
Joseph amid the cheering Of the crowd. The
run to Atchison was made without incident be.
yond the lusty cheering Of the crowds at the
depots % the train went BY en- route to THU

IT WAS ROBERT SPEARS Rat.
The Identity OF the Man Who jumped
From the Bridge Revealed.

From the Bridge Revealed.
All day yesterday and today The police boat
and Q number OF volunteers have been busy On
the river dragging for the body Of the naa
who committed suicide BY jumping from ne
Aqueduct bridge Wednesday, but - yet With.
out any success. But yesterday afternoon The
conclusion was reached that the unfortunate
man was Mr.. Robert Spear, an old man whs
has been boarding for some years past vith
Mrs. Mer~in At eos street
THE HAT IDENTIFIED.
Some days ago Mr. Spear showed Mra Mse,
win peculiar felt hat he had purchased aaa
she has identified the hat found on tie brides
a. being undoubtedly that hat Mr.. Spear hes
been absent from home since Wednesday mora
ing. ne mad quite large sum OF money about
him at the time, as he was a man Of some
means and has recently been paid several
large sums OF money by q legal firm in this
city AZ the settling up Of some business trans
actions; Mr.. Spear was just seventy years OF
| age and vas Q man Of fine and rather portlv
figure. He was married but sir or seven wears
ago. The old couple lived Q quiet and retired
life, spending most Of their time tore theS d
home
DEPRESSED IN SPIRITS
| Mrs Merwin told STAR reporter this morn
ing that she was not really greatly surprised
that MIR. Spear had made away with himself.
For some little time past he had been parsicu-
larry depressed in spirits, and had been actans

Some time ago he gave his wife slip of Do

case anything should happen 70 him he should
be buried either in this city or i'm Alexandria
wednesday morning MIR. Spear seemed 70 be
In an unusually cheerful and happy frame Of

TRIED TO SWIM ASHORE.
His friends now think that he committed
suicide from the bridge while in . state Of
temporary insanity, for as soon a. he came ND
to the surface after his jump he STRUCK out and
endeayored to swim ashore. but he sank again
almost immediately. In early life MIR. Spear
vas q seafaring man, but of late
| years he had taken no active

NO MORE PROXIES.

The late legislature of North Dakota
has not been regarded as body singu-
lar in devotion to reforms in general.
Some have even been so ill-natured as
TO assume that elevating and purifying
processes evolved from it would indi-
cate that streams can rise above their
source. Still, it did attempt one feat of
the reformatory order. 1t passed law
prohibiting the use of proxies in any po
ltical convention by persons residing
out of the county where that is the unit
of representation. This is new direc-
ton for the legislative mind, and is due
to the practice in the territorial condi-
ton that probably had abuses. In the
remote and Sparsely settled counties
people do not usually have much sur
plus means to expend in travelling, and
they have often been represented, NOM
inaily at least. by persons not residing
clans have appeared at conyen-
lions with pockets gorged with
proxies. This made their influence
sought by those who had schemes to be
worked 1t has been charged at times
that considerable financial value has at
tached to these proxies, and there are
traditions that these were at times man
ufactured outside the county. The law
to break up this Industry imposes fine
of $40 and upwards or detention in Jail
for the offender. AS practical result,
the remote districts will frequently be
without representation, and conventions
will shrivel in their voting capacity. 1t
will make it more difficult for few in
dividuals to operate such bodies, and
perhaps disturb an industry that had
considerable fat in it. The aim may
have been to interfere with the opera
tions of the syndicates that have been
alleged to be prevalent in political af-
fairs there. 1t may be salutary iii oper-
alton, but it has the appearance of I'M
pertiuence to assume to regulate the
composition of bodies of citizens not
acting in any official or legal capacity.

Bismapck's View Of the An
tagonism Between Employ
ers and Employed.
Should Men Ever Become Sat-
isfied, Progress Would
Cease at Once.
Fierceness Of a Ruling Power
Is a Guarantee OF
Peace.
Emin PaSha'S Double Dealing
Exposed by One Of His
Clerks.

LONDON, April 26.-The Herald to-
day publishes an interesting account Of
an interview with Prince Bismarck.
The prince said that if in power he
would not interfere with workmen on
May day. Neither would he dis
play anxiety, which would only increase
the aggressiyenesS of the agitatOrs. An
tagonism between employers and en-
ployed was natural law and
a necessity of human progress.
Progress would cease should
men ever become satisfied.
Content was only possible either with
slavery, as in Africa, or where munifi-
cent nature does not ask man to work.
He dwelt upon the need of combating
socialism, the victory of which he said
would mean government by the least
Intelligent. He predicted that socialism
would give deal of trouble yet. He
said that man who would yield to the
present manifestation was a coward,
and that it was sometimes true benevo-
lence to shed the blood of riotous
minorityin defense of Iaw-abiding ma
jority. Continuing: 1.-THE first requisite
in government is energy-not to be a
time server, nor to sacrifice the future
to a temporary or present convenience.
The firmness, indeed, the fierceness of
the ruling power is guarantee of peace
at home and abroad. A government
which is yielding to the majority and
retaining its authority by concessions,
thus paving the way for further conces-
Sions. is In sore strait" He declared
that May day was not dangerous
enemy. The naming of the day for all
assault need not be deemed serious. 1t
would be merely sham fight, like that
of the Salvation Army.

A SAMPLE STATE.

Michigan has an important election
this year. covering the Legislature and
all the important state officials, as well
as congressman. There are no disturb
ing local questions, as in Wisconsin and
Iowa. 1t is to be plain, straight work
on national lines: and for this reason
the situation may be taken as criterion
of the Western states politically, and
probably most of the East. Gov. LUCE
is a farmer, and has made an efficient
and popular governor. He is entitled
to the nomination from his party, and
probably can have it without opposition
yet he positively refuses to run, and as
signs no plausible reason. 1t is, how
ever, well understood that the decision
is due to his realization that the reform
wave will sweep down to MCGINTY any
Republican ticket in that state this year.
Some of his friends credit him with an
i1ltimation that he has no desire to con-
clude his career in that direction. Other
possible aspirants are looking Oil with
shaking heads. The Chicago Tribune
credits one of them with the declaration
that lie will not even consider the mat
ter '"unlesS congress takes speedy action
and redeems the promises made in the
last two Republican national conyen-
tons i'll respect to revision of the tar
iff." That state has lumber and mining
interests that it is aimed to beguile

NOT MICH PROGRESS

While the women were voting in mu-
hicipal elections in Kansas and congress
was giving its Endorsement to full
handed suffrage in Wyoming, and South
Dakota is about to strike the word male
out of its constitution, it was thought a
favorable time to show that the cause is
gaining in the East, also. The bill to
give women the ballot in city elections
was hopefully pressed TO vote in the
Massachusetts legislature few days
ago, and crushed by III to 40. The cause
is making no advance in the East, and it
is doubtful that 1t is gaining ground in
any section that can be held perma-
nently. There is not much in the little
nominal successes on the outskirts, as it
were. These little fads in Kansas, Wy
Oming and South Dakota have hardly
more meaning than that the men are
good-natured and inclined TO any novel
ties that interest the ladies. 1t has been
a jocular matter in Kansas. After the
ladies have mad the fun a time,
or two. very few of the better class of
them care to keep it up. There has been
a steady dropping off at each election.
But small fraction of them voted in
any towns. except the few where they
wanted TO work some little scheme or
worry some woman. Give them the
ballot and they won't vote unless they
feel like it. 1t is stated that, with few
exceptions, the voting they did i'll Kan
sas was not participated in by the more
cultured and intelligent. There is a
disposition in some quarters to impose
fines upon men who fail to discharge
this duty. 1t is one of the problems of
the statesman to learn how to make the
men vote. If there is to be added to
this the conundrum how to get the
ladies to the ballot box, the legislative
mind will be overloaded.
