Hnsnibdl Han,ltn had no special love for
Andrew johnson to lead him to overthrow
his old associate of 1860, and make the mill
tary Governor OF an insurgent State his feL-
low candidate for 81
Hamlin was not in close sympathy with
Lincoln; on the contrary he was known as
one who passively rather than actively
strengthened powerful cabal of Republi-
can leaders in their aggressive hostility to
Lincoln and his general policy, but Lincoln
was incapable Of yielding to prejudice,
however strong, in planning his great cam
paign for reelection in 1864. Had Hamlin
been ten times more offensive than he was to
Lincoln 1t would not have halted Lincoln for
a moment in favoring Hamlin's renomins-
tion if he believed it good politics to do so.
He rejected Hamlin not because he hated
him; he accepted johnson not because he
loved him. He was guided in what he did,
or what he did not, in planning the great
campaign of his life that he believed in
volved the destiny Of the country itself, BY
the single purpose of making success az
nearly certain as possible.
HamIin the Logical Candidate in 80.
Hamlin was nominated for the Vice Pres,
idency in 1860 simply because be was a rep
resentative Republican fresh from the Demo-
cratic party. Another consideration that
favored his selection was the fact that his
State had been carried into the Republican
party under his leadership, and that its
State election in September would be the
fngerboard Of success or defeat in the ma
tional contest. His position as Represents
tive, Senator and Governor, and his adj
mitted ability and high character, fully JUS
titled his nomination as the candidate for
Vice President; but when elected there was
the usual steadily widening chasm between
him and the Executive, and like nearly or
quite all Vice Presidents, he drifted into

They Were After Bankers Bullion, but A.
tackled the Wrong House.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. IA party Of
brigands recently made raid upon Sam
souf, village of Trebizonde, and plundered
the house of Arnaud, director of the To-
bacco Reggie NJ. Arnaud and his wife and
son were brutally treated by the robbers,
who secured small amount of booty and
departed into the country, leaving no clew
by which they might be traced.
Th e object OF the bandits was to secure q
considerable amount of bullion which had
been sent to Samsouf to establish branch
of the Ottoman Bank This treasure was
consigned to an agent of the bank. whose
name also was Arnaud, and the gang mis-
took the house of the director of the Reggie
for the one occupied by the agent of the
bank. The raid of the thieves created q
panic in the town. which was placed in Q
state of semi-siege.

TALMAGE ON KELLEY.
NOT IN SYMPATHY WITH TAE RECENT
CRIES OF HUMBU0

The Bi-Chlorids Of Gold Treatment En-
titled to Credit-n 1t Il Not the Thing
Doctors Should Discover Something
Else-Considers Drunkenness . Disease
NEW YORK, Nov. 14-[SpeciaL Rev.
DR.. Talmage said these things during his
Friday. evening talk at the Tabernacle
Chapel: A faint light on the drunkards' sky
had made him think that morning was COM
ing. DR.. Kelley, 1t was said, had COM
pounded q medicine that would cure alco-
holism; over 800 inebriates had been saved,
and less than per cent of those who
had graduated from this treatment
had fallen. II an sntidote to this
poison of body, mind and soul has really
been made, 1t is more important than
Pasteur's cure of hydrophobia, than Koch's
cure Of consumption. At the time when
the world had begun to shout that at last
the fiery thirst for strong drink might BE-
extirpated by medical prescription. one of
the chief advocates Of the new mode of dis
enthralnent dies of alcoholism on Black
wells Island. As result multitudes are
crying: "Humbug. Nothing on all the
shelves Of pharmacopeia can conquer this
appetite"
Now, am not in sympathy with this
outcry. If new discovery would take 800
cases in hand and lose 800 of them, the re-
manning 300 saved are q victory gained,
enough to fill earth and heaven with cele.
bration. People have died of smallpox
after vaccination, but that is nothing
against vaccination. People have died Of
sin after joining the church, but that Is
nothing against religion. Give the discov-
erer . chance. He proposes nothing but
good, and let him 60 ahead with his work.
Of this one thing 1 am certain. If Dr..
Keeley's bi-chloride Of gold does not
achieve the thing proposed, some other
medicine will.
1t is high time that the whole medical
profession of Christendom rose up in their
might and put down this appetite which
has taken so large part of the human race
by the throat. 1t is disgrace to men Of
genius in this latter part of the nineteenth
century that so little has been accomplished
for the crippling of this monster Of alec hol-
ism, to say nothing of Its extirpation.
Medical science ought to be able to provide
something beside three men holding down .
patient In paroxysms of delirium tremens.
For the sake of agonized humanity cheer on
the doctors rather than fill the air with
shouts of '.humbug," because here and
there may be q conspicuous failure. The
doctor who shall demonstrate that this hot
panther of disease thirst can be slain, ought
to have a monument as high as Bartholdi's
Statue of Liberty in New York harbor.
And that doctor will yet be born; perhaps,
he is already born; perhaps he hears or
reads this lecture.

A GOOD CLASS OF IMMIGRANTs

Coming Here From Russia
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. IA large
number of German colonists who located in
the country along the Volga river have be-
come discontented with the condition pre-
vailing in Russia, and many of them have
determined to give up their holdings and
leave the country.
Already large number, attracted BY ac-
counts from the United States, are leaving
for that country. Others have departed
for South Africa. The emigrants arc
thrifty and industrious, and a majority of
them are fairly well-to-do.

known, amounts to 81. France, Spain

road commission this morning and explained
the reason of the discrimination in passenger
rates between Rockwell City and Des Moiues

latter place. He said the proportionately
lower rate in favor of jefferson was made to
compete with the Chicago S Northwestern,
and not for any motives of partiality. 1t Is
probable that the rate will be raised to 3i5c

Gould Reaching Out Again.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-lSpecial Telegram to
The Bee Now u rumor has started in
railroad circles here that Gould has an eye
on the Chicago st. Paul 81 Kansas City road
and would be very glad to extend his Union
Pacific system to Chicago by securing that
property. President Stickney tavors the
principle of consolidation. He has been
heard TO say tn at the time is not far distant
w hen all the railroads of this country will be
combined into about three systems
The fact that President Egan has Wis.
tied Omaha a number OF times recently
and been in close consultation there with
Union Pacific officials, doubtless con tributes
to the belief that Could would be pleased to
gather the Maple Leaf into his fold. 1t would
give him direct Chicago connection both
for the main line from Omaha and the Kan
sas Pacific from Kansas City. This is in
view of an almost settled determination of
the Maple Leaf people to construct that long
contemplated extension from Des Mones, or
near there, to Omaha.
Regardless of any rumors or possible trans
fers of its ownership there is no longer any
doubt but that the Chicago, st. Paul &, Kansas
CITY Is rapidly gaining prominence, as one Of
the most desirable systems between Chicago
and the Missouri river. The owners realize
that they have good thing and do not pro-
pose to let go of it without getting their
price In round figures their price is 800, ,000.-
600. There are 800 miles of road and the
value placed on it is 100000 mile Jim
Hill can get 1T by buying the property out
right The Union Pacific might come into
control through consolidation or by long
time lease.

railroad men had called to announce to the
commission that their respective roads would
haul free no more goods intended for the re-
lief OF the drOuth sufferers. Neither would
they make any reduction from regular traffic
rates. They had virtually donated $4,000
in freight charges to tho relief
of the sufferers, to say nothing Of tho cost of
returning the empty cars, which they could
lind no produce or other material TO fill thus

cause the house had now before IL maxi
mum rate bill based upon the railroad law of
Iowa. II that bill should become law it
would result in cutting the Nebraska rates in

stand. With such threatening legislation it
was useless TO expect the railroads to carry

in the current charges.

THAT LETTER OF WATTERsONs.
The Great Louisville Editor Says He
Did Write 1t.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. 12.-On returning to
this city this afternoon Henry Watterson,
in response to the request of the Associated
press and in answer to hundreds OF tele-
grams which have come to Louisville, made
statement for publication regarding the letter
written TO Governor Hill, given in these dis
patches two days ago. Mr.. Watterson says
he did write the letter to Governor Hill and
was impelled to do so by motives the sim
cerest and most disinterested. He says there
appeared in many papers last Sunday a SEN
sational account of how a caucus of
United States senators had resolved
upon retiring Governor Hill from the presi-
dental arena, Of how Waterson had been
selected as the instrument ana how he had
dispatched letter potent enough to alter
Hills plans. This was so absurd and did
such injustice to both Hill and himself that
he thought there could be no objection on the
part of anybody to the publication of the
truth, which was fatty Contradicted.
~ confess / am surprised" adds Mr.. Wat
terson, ''that the governor should make such
haste to disavow and disown such a
course, which, however prompted, graft
States outside of the state New
York. removing him from the field
of mere political self-seeker and placing
him in the front rank of statesmen having
the good OF their country ana party AT heart.
/ am equally distressed by the representa-
ton that Governor Hill should regard my
plain but friendly words as impertInent and
insulting. l cannot help thinking tnat the
same words might be with propriety ad-
dressed to him or to any democratic aspirant
by the humblest democrat in the line. and |
still hope that, annoyed by the publication
which annoyed me as well, he has
proceeded upon a misrepresentation of the
facts of the case. Neither in the writing nor
the printing OF my letter was there any pur-
pose to take advantage of him. and, least of
all, to do him injustice. ! am no mans man
and exist in no mans interest To use his
own happy expression, Il am democrat who
has passed a life time in the service of prin-
ciples and policies from which | never sought
the slightest personal recognition or regard,
! am only humiliated by the reflection that
this service was not sufficient in the estima-
tion of Governor Hill to protect me against
his diSplcasare and that in the harsh con-
struction which he puts upon genuine and
not forged letter, he visits me with what
must regard as unmerited suspicion"

Snoyy-Bound Legislators.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 12.-fSpecial to THE
BEE, - The legislators who were home
during the late blizzard relate some thrilling
experiences. Senator Coulter of Hall was all
day Monday making nine miles. A part Of
the way he Travelled on foot through drifts
three and four feet high. Senator Horn was
compelled to remain at home for three days
and did not dare to venture out.
Senator Wilson OF Dawes is still
snow-bound somewhere on the Elk
horn line, but is expected in today.
Representative Schelp of Platt walked ten
miles through the storm and drifts to reach
the train. Representative Williams of Frank
lin, in a ten mile drive, frosted his ears nose
and hands. 1t is safe to say that no more ad-
joumments will be taken during the session
The members, however, are all iubilant over
the heavy fall of snow and predict good crops
for the coming season.
