ON THE OTHER SIDE.

In the exercise Of their undoubted right
of judgment Senators Stanford and Stewart
have taken sides with the Democrats on the
Federal Elections Bill. Senator Stewart has
made a speech against the bill which is
noticeable only as coming from Senator
who is ranked as a Republican. The coun-
try would not be surprised if Senator Wade
Hampton should say that the principle of
the Elections Bin would, if carried into eff
tect, be more preiudicial to human liberty
than secession, but arguments of that ma
tuTe were not looked for from the Republi-
can side Of the Senate. Mr.. Hampton onenIv
espOused the cause Of secession and made
some sacrifices in so doing. lie never fought
from behind a cover. The American pc pie
decided the issue against him, but they did
not. intimate that he was insincere. A
quarter of a century after the decision was
given against secession a Republican Senator
discovers more da niger TO human libeI ty in a
DILL 70 secure every voter a right 10 vote than
in secession. The feeling with which this
declaration will be received must be tenn
pered. with surprise that the Senator should
ever have been counted among the oppo-
nents OF secession. His present osition can
onfy be reconcied TO his former one on the
assumption that at one of the two periods
he was subject to mental restraint Possibly
such has been his condition through his en-
TIRE public career. In such case he should
ne Withdrawn from the Senate and piven

There are PCS MS who think that the old

States NOT t. mt ke tie Nicaragua Canal in

other persons who hold tn The Govern

There are still others who consider the

why the Government should decline any
-1uI Their pr0pcs tions TO guarantee bonds for
corporations, no matter what the character
Of lie enterprise may be. TIE these various
Injections there is one sufficient answer
hc great importance Of the canal raises il
above objections that would be fatal t. any
other work. There Is no parallel case HAT
is likely to come before the public during
this generation. The only enterprise that
can lr regarded as parallel is the Panama
tu-L But the announcement that the
Emitted States Government has guaranteed
lDe bonds OF the Nicaragua Canal VIII give
the other canal project "a long rest Before
Tie Panama Canal can be built the Mica

~ toll Viii be wer than tie Panama com
pany can possibly afford.
The Claytpn-Bulwer treaty died in the
hour Of It's birth The conditions upon
which it was predicated have never been
reallzed. Since that treaty was signed the
British Government has obtained control of
llIe Suez Canal and has taken possession of
Aallze in Honduras, one Of the Central
american States. The seizure Of the Suez
Canal Is Justified On the ground that it forms
Tie shortest water connection between Brit
am III Europe and the British Empire in
Asia. The reason is a good one, but it ap-
plies with equal force to the American inter
ocean canal, which forms the shortest water
connection between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts Of the great American Republic.
The fact that the Government Of the
United States permitted the builders of the
tirst Western railroad TO hold the property,
willie the Government paid the interest on
lisfOst, should not stand in the way of the
Matchmaking OF an enterprise Of such
national Importance as a canal connecting
: tile Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Gov
eminent can protect itself against financial
loss. But no one can compute the cost of
obtaining control of the canal if it should
: pass into foreign hands. A contemporary
says that if England should secure control
of the Nicaragua Canal as it did of the Suez
Canal its action would be cause of war. Adj
nit thatit would, what then? How MANY
thousand millions would it cost to make En-
gland loose its hold? u ow insignificant be-

WHAT DOES If MEAN?

The London Chronicle says that it is not
right 'to imply any intention on the part Of
Canada to made reciprocal commercial
agreement between Canada and the United
States the basis of the settlement OF the
question involved in the BehriDg Sea mat
ter. This is the first intimation we have
heard that Canada was magDifying the Ben
ring Sea case with purpose to play it off on
the United States as an equivalent for the
American market for Canadian products.
The London journal had probably some
grounds for assuring the English people that
Canada had not dictated to the British GOV
eminent what lines the Behring Sea contro-
versv should be conducted TN, in the expec-
tation of using that controversy as means
of securing commercial union with the
United States. Canada appears to be get.
ting too large in its own estimation to re-
main much longer in leading strings. I'm
der its present relation to Great Britain il is
permitted to make commercial treaties Civ
ing the products Of an alien country an adj
vantage in the Canadian market over the
products of Great Britain, but the Govern
| ment of Great Britain attends to such mat
tiers as the determination of the rights of
Canadian sea-fshers in the Behring Sea.
How long will it be before Canada will
want to make political as well as CONNER
Cial treaties?

MURDER AND MARRIAGE.

A Most Singular Occurrence in Mcdowell
County, w. Va.
murder OF tie most horrible kind oc
cprred in Mcdowell County, w. Va, and
fine murderer married the widow three
weeks after the killing occurred, says
Cattleburg (Ky.) special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Joe Black and wife, Maggie,
lived in the western part of the county with
their one child, boy Of II years, named
Henry. All went well with them, living
tbe life of a mountain farmer, with no
cares to cause sorrow, until John James,
stranger from Virginia, appeared in the
neighborhood and settled on an adjoining
farm TO them. 1t was only short time un-
til he formed the acquaintance of the
Racks and he was considered one of the
friends of the family. The husband had
not the least suspicion that things
were not as they should be, as he
had no cause, as lie thought, to think that
his wife was unfaithful. Such was not the
case, however, as future events proved The
frequency of his visits TO the Blacks house
soon became the talk of The neighbors. but
no one dared TO tell Mr.. Black of the gossip,
and so lie was not warned of the trouble
brewing. 1t seemed MS though Mrs. Black
and the stranger had fallen in love at first
sight, and, as she encouraged him, he pro-
posed that they elope. She being afraid her
husband would follow and kill them, re-
fused, but said that if he Games) would put
him out of the way she would marry him.
He consented, and plans were laid for the
murder. Henry was sent to visit an uncle
some distance from home, and upon the ap-
pointed night James came over to spend the
evening. After sitting awhile James went
out to get drink and when he returned
brought the ak with him. Black was sitting
with his back to the door when James
brought the sharp edge of the AK down
upon his head with terrific force, splitting
his head RlDpk died ND
his body WAS buried in a ravne near
by. Mrs. Black gave out that her hus-
band had deserted her, which was thought
very strange by the neighbOrs, as he had al
ways appeared very fond Of his wife. How
ever, as no signs OF him could be found,
nothing was done about it. Just three weeks
after the murder James and Mrs. Black
were married. Much Indignation was ex-
pressed by the murdered mans relatives at
her cary marriage, and Il search was inSti-
tuted for the missing man, which resulted in
finding his body.
Upon the return Of the seaTchers it was
found that the guilty pair had flown. Pur-
Suers started after them and succeeded in
capturing the woman, but the man escaped
and has not been heard of up to date.
Mrs Black confessed, but does not seem
to be sorry the deed was committed, but only
sorry 1t was found out. Should James be
captured Judge Lynch will probably try his
case, and verdict of guilty may be ex-
pected. The sentence of death will be passed
and the execution will take place without
any cost to the State and with but little
trouble.
