JOHN RUSSELL You've, who knows Sir
William Gordon Cumming we'll, says of
him: "A high-tempered, impetuous,
brusque, outspoken, resolute man, with
capacity for instant anger, sensitive,
irritable, ready with word or blow, the
military temperament at times undulv
developed; stern with men, infinite SYM
pathy for dogs and dumb domestic ami

recover. One negro was probably
fatally shot. -. ,
1t is estimated that at least 1000
shots were exchanged, but owing to
darkness most of the men fred at ran
dom.
The white strikers precipitated the
battle by making the attack. After
the fight, and when daylight came, the
negroes were crazed with desire for
revenge, and threatened to 90 down on
the flats, blow up the mines and kill all
the white miners, who number 1875, and
their families. The guards. assisted by

AFTER all it takes Yankee to do a
thing: The universal postal union has
been endeavoring for years to lure the
Australian province into its list of pos
tai patrons, but they held coyly off
until the American delegates took up

the pleasure of welcoming them into
the combination. This means cheaper
rates and better service on all mail
matter addressed to any Australian
office, and is a notable step forward in
international postal distribution.

In other works he was a blunder

No Flies on This.

The Ohio Democratic Convention
which met last week renominated
Governor Campbell and adopted the
following silver plank in their plat
form. Our Republican friends should
read 1t and compare it with the nom
committal plank in the platform on
which Mckinley stands:
"We denounce the characterization
of silver in 1873 by the party then in
power as an Ubiquitous alteration OF
the money standard in favor of the
creditors and against the debtors,
taxpayers and producers, and which
by shutting off one source OF supply
of primary money operates continu-
ally to increase the value of gold, de-
press prices, hamper industry and
disparsge enterprise; and we demand
the reinstatement of the constitutional
standard OF both gold and silver,
with equal right, each to free and
unlimited coinage"
1t is easy to see which party east OF
the Mississippi is the friend of silver.
