KILLED ny ELECTRICITY.

AN incident occurred In New York
on Friday last which shows the danger
OF carclessness connected with the
manipulation OF electricity. A tele-
phone pole had become charged with
the electric fluid through contact with
a loose wire which had connection with
the telephone line. II had been left
there Ivy some person who had been
experimenting. The pole was In such
condition rs to endanger the lives OF
people liable, accidentally or other

named Harry Williams, who, owing to
his disposition, was known ss "Happy
Williams" was returning from his
work, when he told SOME boys
who were with him that he was
not afraid to touch the pole.
In his hand was piece OF iron
hoop, which was hooked at tho end.
He put the hook over an iron spike IN
the pole. The hrst thing he said was!

instant his body was convulsed, aud
he staggered away from the pole with
the hoop still in his right hand, Ac-

SHAMELESS JOURNALISM"

TO declare there was nothing In II except

THE foregoing is the closing sentence
Of m editorial paragraph Ia the Salt
Lake Tribune. II ia more shameless
piece Of journalism 'than can be found
In any paper OF the age. But is only
one sample OF daily utterances from that

tial differences, but has not Justified"
either, nor has It accepted either asa true

has attempted TO Justify the false re-

correspondent, and very rashly pro-
duced an alleged full stenographic re-.
port, which on comparison proved the

Concerning the correspondence from
Washington which has started this
discussion, tho Ogden Standard OF
Tuesday contained an interview with
Hon. q. q. Richards, In which that
gentleman, Just returned from Wash.

particulars:
"IIo stated that In his presence, tho

ISSUES OF THE PENDING CAM.
PAIGN.


IN the North american RepieD for
March there Ia what might To termed
a symposium OF opinion, on the issues
OF the pending presidential campaign,
from many OF the most prominent
lights In American politics.
Senator james MCMILLAN, Of Mlchi-
gan, Is OF opinion that the great ques-
lions Of the time most In need Of settle
ment are the tariff, the finances, and
the franchise. In the Mckinley bill
the theory OF protection has been
carried to Its logical conclusion.
Articles which can be manufactured at
home are protected, while those which
from climate and other reasons can not
be- produced at home are put
on the free list. This is the
theory OF true tariti accord.
ing TO the Republican idea, and
with 1t the party is prepared TO enter
the coming campaign. or course the
Senator does not neglect to mention
the benefits OF reciprocity as an accom-.
psniment to his parly's protective
Idea OF tariff.
In relation to the financial issue hs
says that the present coinage law IL
more or less n temporary expeJlout;
but "the Republican party win main.
tain that 1t is the best possible solution
OF the financial question for the time
being"
The question OF elections IN the
South will not bc considered from the
Lodge Bin point Of view. President
Harrison's suggestion ola non.partisan
commission to devise measures which
shall ensure free and fair elections will
be acted gu.
Representative McMilliu, Of Ten.
nessee, Is Of the opinion that his party
(the Democra,s) will 20 into the fight
with the shlbboleths, economy
In public expense, no "force
bills" and tariff reform. The last
mentioned promises to be the
main issue In the campaign. The
Democratic party VIII repudiate the
Mckinley bill with Its bounty, subsl-
dy and reciprocity clauses entirely.
Mr.. McMillin makes no reference
whatever to the silver question.
Senator Frank Hiscock OF New York
dwells emphatically on tariff reform.
He says II IL the duty Of the law
making power OF the Democratic party
to outline Its idea OF tariff legislation
by proposing n bill In The present Con-
gress, aud lighting the battle ON it'
provisions. Meantime bis opinion ~
that the Mckinley bill must be an
'agonizel in all its features, but that

not provide sufficient money for gov

through the Zulu's stout cowhide buckler
and into his heart.
On the fall of their chieftain the warriors
fed and the "Irregulars" cantered after
them in struggling column over the plains.
A couple of hundred Zulus kept up q show
of formation and fell back slowly before
the 'Irregulars," retreating past many
abandoned kraals, and it looked to the
novices as though Cetewayo was in full
retreat. The "Irregular' horsemen Of
course found excitement in the widest
kind of chasing, and scattered themselves
over the country regardless of cohesion
and discipline. Beresford hardly restrained
his scouts from giving in to the general
impulse. No enemy was sighted except
the 200 rear guard always in view but
steadily running This well ordered fight
was only a snare, and suddenly from out
of u deep water course sprang thousands
of Cetewayo's warriors and herded the
horsemen on both TANKS and in front
Thousands more arose from out the tall
grass, and q volley from their stolen Mar
tini-Henry rifles knocked three of Beres-
ford's scouts from their saddles. Under
the swift order to retire the whole dis
ordered cavalcade had put about leaving
Beresford and his scouts in the rear. One
of the men who went down under the
Zulu fire was seen to arise and try to stag
ger to his feet. The Zulus were close upon
him and detected signs of life in the fallen
soldier as quickly as did his comrades.
BeresfOrd was the last man in the re-
treating column, and a hasty glance told
him that swift gallop would enable him
to reach the poor fellows side ahead of the
bloodthirsty savages. Riding back, he dis
mounted and ordered the luckless one to
get up on his pony. ''The wounded man,
dazed as he was, even in his extremity was
not less full of self abnegation than was
the man who was risking his own life in
the effort to save his He babe Beresford
remount and go. Why he said, in his
simple, manly logic, why should two die
when death was inevitable but to one?'
Then it was that the quaint, resourceful
humor OF his race supplied Beresford with
the weapon that prevailed over the wound
ed mans unselfshness. The recording
angel perhaps did not record the oath that
buttressed his threatening mien when he
swore, with clenched fists, that he would
punch the wounded mans head if he did
not allow his life to be saved. This droll
