THE TRUTH MAY YET BE TOLD

A special dispatch to the st. Louis
Republic from Parkersburg, w. Va,
is as follows:
General L. NJ. Harris, of Richie
county, member of the court.martial
which investigated the death of Lin
coin and condemned Mrs. Surratt, has
just finished a history of the assassina-
ton Of President Lincoln. The history
was compiled from stenographer's
notes in General Harris possession. In
the book Harris boldly asserts that jeff
Davis and certain members of his cabi-
net were interested in and encouraged
the assassination of Lincoln. He forti-
fies his statement by large amount of
documentary evidence. The book will
create a sensation
Let us hope that it will do more
that it will shed the clear light of truth
upon one Of the darkest pages of our
country's history, and forever set at
rest all doubts that the murder of one
of the best and greatest men of all the
ages was the direct result of one of the
most diabolical conspiracies in the an
mails Of the world. That the real re-
sponsibility for that dire calamity lay
very near the door Of the arch traitor of
the Confederacy was the prevailing
belief among the Union soldiers then
in the field, as well as among countless
loyal people throughout the North, and
the strength Of their belief is well at
tested by the fact that although more
than quarter Of century Ihas since
elapsed, few who formed that opinion
in 1865 have found cause to change it
since. Commenting on the matter last
evening Major Wilkin, who was with
his regiment in North Carolina when
the news of the assassination was re-
ceived, expressed himself emphatically
in language which the writer takes the
liberty to quote, feeling sure that it
will find a responsive echo in the minds
of hundreds of the HERALD's readers
whose reverence for the name of Abra-
ham Lincoln is akin to worship:
Whether General Harris will be
able to produce evidence fixing guilty
knowledge or participation on the part
of JEFF Davis in the conspiracy leading
to the death of Lincoln we know not;
we do know, however, from the mouths
of many Union soldiers, that when the
death Of Lincoln was announced to
them on the march and in the fields of
the South, they were then ready to be-
lieve that Davis was the arch conspira-
tor in that scheme, as well as in bring
ing upon the people that terrible war.

the other leading commanders of the

POLITICS IN IOWA AND OHIO

Here in Washington the political
quiet seems strange to our Ohio and
Iowa visitors. In Ohio one of the
most aggressive campaigns since 1883
is now being carried on. Major Nc
Kinley, the Republican standard
bearer, is addressing meetings in some
instances Of thirty thousand people.
He champions protection and the coin
age of the whole product of the silver
mines of the United States, and insists
that the currency of the country,
whether gold, silver or paper, shall be
kept at the same standard of value
that the laborer's dollar shall be equal
to the dollar of the capitalist. Gov
ernor Campbell, in his candidacy for
reelection, stands on a platform declar-
ing for the free coinage Of silver and
against the protective principle. The
good crops throughout the state, with
fair prices, are having a demoralizing
effect upon the calamity shriekers and
the votes will generally be cast for the
Republican or Democratic tickets.
In Iowa the Republican platform
declares for protection and prohibition.
Being the greatest agricultural state in
the nation, the Republican candidates
for governor and Acknowledgements
are both practical farmers, residing
upon and managing their own farms.
Governor Boies, the only Democratic
governor elected in the state since 1853,
seeks "a reelection upon the platform
of opposition to protection and prOhibi-
ton. He will 90 back to his law office.
Whatever has been written on the sub
ject of prohibition in Iowa, by the press
outside the state, the practical effect,
in about eighty of the ninety-nine
counties, in the reduction of court ex-
penses and thereby in the reduction of
taxation, has made many friends for
the policy. 1t was not prohibition,
although it was factor, that brought
about the election of Governor Boies
two years ago. but the large vote of the
railroad employees, swung to him on
account of the railroad policy the Re
publicans had carried into effect in the
state. This year Mr.. Wheeler, the
Republican nominee, is not deemed
hostile to the railroad interests, but it
is believed he will pursue broad and
liberal policy on that question, and
hence Governor Boies' hostility 10 pro-
hibition will not bring about his cleo
ton.
The most careful Interpreters of the
political signs in both states predict
the rousing triumph of the representa-
tives of Republican principles.

Thus far the most cordial and friend
ly relations have existed between the
citizens of Fairhaven and New West
minister, and there is every reason to
believe that this feeling will be intensi-
fled as time goes on and the bonds of
social and commercial intercourse are
more closely interviewer. To the con-
struction of the railroad between the
two cities the creation of this friendly
sentiment has been largely due, and
the regular operation of the road will
soon bring the people in daily contact
and will result in the forming of many
new business and social connections,
which will contribute much both to the
pleasure and the profit of the people of
the respective places. On several oc-
casions our brothers across the border
have visited us by hundreds, and have
left the impress of their jolly, genial
and generous natures upon great
many of our people here. A very fit
ung way in which TO express our ap-
probation of their visits would be to
get up big excursion to attend the
American Day" exhibition of the
Royal Agricultural and Industrial So
ciety, at New Westminster, September
"a, at which time there will be a par
ticularly attractive programme of sports
and games, independent of the exhibit
ton. which promises to be the most
extensive ever given in the province.

Of late in connection with Chilean af-

association of persons confined for any
political or civil object, either with or
without authority of law. Formerly
in Spain the term was more exclusive

legal character as well.

Revealed Remedy

Mrs. Chas A. Russell. who is favorabiy
known throughout the Northwest, says;
For fifteen years l was constant sufferer
from Asthma without relief except that OBJ
tanned by constant change OF locality. Two
years ago | tried MOORE's REVEALED REMEDY
and the benefits received from IL we're most
gratifying. II gave me relief from the first,
and prevented the terrible distress peculiar
TO the disease that made life almost unbear-
able. Any one who has ever had asthma can
understand the gratitude feel toward this
remedy. Believing IL has added pleasant
years to my life have not hesitated TO rec
ommend IL to all like sufferers and always
with the same happy results"

THE HERALD's Sunday comments
upon the harbor line outrage were based
solely upon the action of the committee
with reference to Fairhaven and were
not intended to convey the impression
that New Whatcom has no cause for
grievance. On the contrary it is evil
dent that our neighbors have also been
badly used, and it might not be a bad
idea for all concerned to hold an ex-
perience meeting and if possible devise
ways and means to circumvent the
enemy. Arbitrary and discriminative
action is clearly within the province of
the commission and it is clear that very
little can be gained at present by kick
ing against the pricks. The only real
remedy seems to lie in future legisla-
ton.

Masonic Installation.

Last Monday night at least 300 men,
bers Of the Masonic fraternity and their
lady friends assembled at the Masonic
Temple, to witness the installation OF Of
ficers. A large number OF chairs were
placed In the hall and were all occupied,
besides which a large number were in the
gallery, parlor and adjoining rooms.
The newly elected officers Of Alpena
and Hopper lodges were installed at the
same time, after which were installed the
officers Of Thunder Bay Chapter. Re-
marks were made by Rev. ii. III. Van
Auken and Rev. John Munday.
After the installation services were
over, supper was served in the banquet
hall. There were seats at the supper tables
for 1874 persons, and while the first tables
were being served, a large number Of
those who had to wait went to the hall
In the second floor and enjoyed themselves
with dancing. AS soon as 1t was posi-
BILE the second table was made ready, and
another 124 persons served with supper,
and yet many had to wait for the third
table.
Dancing was kept up until after mid
night, and the result was a real pleasant
evening passed by at least 300 people.
Those who did not care for dancing on
joyed themselves In the reception room
and parlors.
