SIR JOHN II. MCDONALD.

~ News comes from Canada that oI
John "A. Mod onald, the premier, is 2
very sick man. Little, if any thing at
all. definite has been given out for sew
eral days as to his condition, and ms
friends are very much alarmed IN
consequence. No wonder that they
would. Sir John Mcdonald IS almost
Is years old, and has devoted the great
or part Of his life to politics. We know
in this country what q life saturated
with politics, so to speak, means. It
means a very short life. Look at the
number of deaths that have occurred
in this country among men whose life
study was the success Of their favorite
political party. The number OF this
distinguished array Of the past year
would overreach an hundred, and why
did they all die so young? The question
is easily answered, because they killed
themselves with too much medicine po-
lltical. So we can we'll account for the
sudden and unexpected deaths Of Ros-
coe Conkling, President Arthur, General
Logan, and many other public men, too
numerous to mention here. Sir John
has been the body and soul of the Con-
sentative party in Canada for many
YEAR,, and were he to be taken away
now, the Tory party of the Dominion
as we'll as the Dominion itself, would
soon be thing Of the past. Thousands
of votes we're cast at the late elections IN
that country for Tory members which
would have gone to the Liberals had it
not been for Sir Johr. These votes
were cast for Tory candidates out of re-
spect for Sir John, and not because the
voters loved the policy of the Conserve
tives. Sir John Mcdonald has been to
Canada what Gladstone has been to
England. Any man who says that he
has not, only bellttles himself. for Can
ada's premier is one of the,greatest men
living to-day. No wonder that his
friends should feel alarmed. He has
given most of them their bread and but.
ter at Cauada's expense for many years.
He has always provided for those who
tried to help him, and he should not per-
haps be blamed for having little graf.
1tude. Should Sir Johns illness prove
of lasting nature it would be prob
lem with the Tories who should take
his place, No man in Canada to-day
could fill Sir Johns shoes, but some one
would be delegated TO act in the premi'
er's place. That man in all probability
would by Sir Charles Upper. He is
reasonably bright, but whatever bright
points there are about him, are bedim.
med by the hattering ideas he entertalns
of himself. He could not hold the Tory
element together, and without that party
Canada would become furnishing an
mex to the United States. We're it not
for few stray votes that fell over the
fe nee to the Tories during the late cleo.
tion, the Tories would never have been
heard Of there again. We trust how.
ever that Sir John will soon recover.
that he will live many years to enjoy the
position in life that his talents have
earned for him. and that before he gives
us his long farewell. he may be convert.
ed to try liberalism under whose banner
all men might live and prosper.

SOME of the Minneapolis companies
owning and operating overhead wires
forget that there is an ordinance pro-
hibiting the strlnging Of wires inside
the fire limits. and it was not until the
building inspector notified them few
days ago that such wires would not be
allowed any more inside the fire limits,
that they let up violating the law. The
Western Union and North American
Telegraph companies are making the
most of their time and putting their
wires underground as fast as possible.
The Brush Electric company are having
a good deal of trouble with theirs,
owing to the failure Of the Valcanit
company Of Delaware. This company
contracted to put the Brush system I'M
der ground. and had some SO miles laid
when they were forced to make al as
slgnment. Owing to this failure the
Brush company will be obliged to pull
up the entire system, and have it re

out in time to put their wires under
ground they would have had that jot
completed long ago. bnt they kept put,

AUSTRALIA is fairly launching on
the road to prosperity. At the fed
Grafton convention held there last
month, a constitution was presented
and approved. which practically makes
Australia republic. The new consti-
tuition is copied verbatim, almost. from
the constitution Of the United States.
1t makes provision for house of
representatives and senate. the mem
bers Of which shall be elected as ours
are. 1t goes farther than ours in thi
particular. that it provides for the ap
pointment by the queen of a chief ex-
ecutive to be known as the Governor
General, and who is to receive salary
Of $50 900 year. The right of refusing
to accept any and all appointments to
this office, is vested with the people. so
that no numskulls can draw a fat SAL
airy without the peoples approval. In
this office Is vested the right of veto and
whenever he is in doubt what to do Oil
certain questions he can reserve the
right of veto for the queen. In all it is
a very strong constitution, and if ap-
proved by the people and the imperial
authorities, the queen will. by procla.
nation name day when the common
wealth of Australia is TO be established.
No doubt the imperial authorities Will
approve of the constitution, lest in the
event Of them refusing to do so. a
stronger constitution giving England
less supervision over the colonies be
drawn up. England sees that she must
pat Australia on the back now. instead
Of rapping her on the knuckles as she
does some Of her other minor colonies.

The fire department has been un-
usually busy this month, though the
damage done was comparatively very
small. Some days the bows responded
as often as six times, and though there
are ten DAYS yet of May left, the average
number Of calls per day has exceeded
that of any one month during the past
year. Several of the alarms turned in
were nothing more nor less than fool
lsh calling out of the department.. and
if little Judgment were used at times.
small fires could be extinguished with
out calling the firemen out. Some PEG
pie think the f1remen have nothing to
do except turn out to fires when alarms
are sent in. These people forget that
all these hose carts, trucks and engines
must all be cleaned up after they return
to their respective houses. 1t Is no
small matter to clean up one of these
wagons after run has been made over
a dusty street. All the apparatus con-
nect9d with these trucks and engines
must be cleaned and put in condition,
good enough to stand the inspection of
the mayor himself. All these things
should be considered by the public who
delight in seeing che fire department
turn ou5. By using good judgment
whenever small fires break out, they can
be extinguished with less loss to the
owner of the property and the depart
ment need not be called out.

Judges of courts, county auditors and

n Murderer Fleeing From Mob is
Accidentally Drowned.

DENNER, May 2G.-A brutal murder
took place in the lower part of the city
late this evening which was soon fol-
lowed by the accidental death of the
murderer. Pepino Felorigo has a garden
and truck patch on platte bottoms into
which neighbor's COW had made her
way. The owner of the animal sent his
little boy to drive it out when Felorigo
attacked the child and dealt severely
with him. Coney Glutz, young man
about 10 years of age, was passing and
interfered, requesting Felorigo to let the
boy alone. This angered him SO that he
drew revolver and shot Glutz through
the head causing death within an hour.
People in the neighborhood became so
excited over the affair that soon several
hundred surrounded the murderer's
house for the purpose of taking and
lynching him. He escaped by rear
door and started for the Twenty third
street viaduct, pursued by bowling
mob of nearly thousand people. When
about half way across the viaduct he
took to the water for escape and was
drowned.

business man who has ample facilities

there is much reason to believe that the
Mexican authorities are quietly giving
aid to Chilian insurgents. The Esmer-
aida had been able to get all the coal she
wanted and private advices from Mazat-
Ian reported that the war materials
brought from San Francisco had been
transferred there early this month to
ships belonging to the Chilian insur-
gents. The same letter mentions rumors
of secret treaty between Mexico and
San Salvador against Guatemala
