POOR SERVICE.

An illustration of the defects Of the
telegraphic service accorded 10 this city
was given last evening at the meeting OF
the Business Mems Association.
Hon. John c. wyman was invited by
President Goodwin to address the Asso-
citation. Mr.. wyman, finding himself un-
able to arrive i'm the city at the time OF
opening the meeting, desired 20 notify
President Goodwin of that fact anc he
sent telegraph dispatch from taunton
that he was on his way.
Mr.. Wyman arrived at s:25 o'clock by
train to the depot and walked from there
to Music Hall, but the telegraphic mess
age was received at $40 o'clock or forty.
five minutes after MIR. wyman's arrival,
and after he had concluded his address
1t is to be hoped that the point will not
be lost on the Association.

A SILLY REMARK.

Secretary Foster is quoted as saying
that the newspapers are responsible for
unnecessary alarm on the subject OF chol-
era. 1t is likely that the Secretary did
make the remark as quoted, for IL is a
conspicuously silly remark. The news
papers have made public the facts in re-
gard to cholera, and will continue 10 do
SO. Most Of them have also taken care to
disseminate at the same time information
as to the precautions proper % be OBJ
served 10 avert sickness, aud the measures
70 be taken in the event Of it, appear
ance.
The unhsppy city Of Hamburg is an ex-
ample Of the Foster policy Of eoncealment
en- In iis consequences. The unsuspect-
ing inhabitants Of thst town were kept in
ignorance Of their danger till too late 10
avert it. The consequence, plain enough
in its frightful development, might have
been foreseen. Mr.. Secretary Foster
would best bride a tongue that seems un-
able to vent anything but balaam.

THE PRESIDENTS ACCEPTANCE.

After long and weary wait the Presi-
dent has sent out his letter Of acceptance
OF the Republican nomination. Like all
productions OF the pen in which the
author attemps TO say over again what has
many times been said before il is perhaps
more remarkable for its length and tire
someness than for anything else" There
is nothing new TO be found in
this bulky document, and as was
to be expected the President
puts himself squarely on the Republican
platform and then in the old and time
worn way repeats the same arguments
and tells the people why he and his party
should be left in power. In order 10 sit
comfortable, or at least to appear so to do,
he has thrown over his old and pet
scheme of force bill and the per-
nicious policy that II implied, and
quietly subsidized iuto the meek
and lowly platitudes that were

may drop it for the time being because they
soc what harm such policy can bring to
them and so the President tor political
purposes and the expodiences otthe hour,
and to allsy IL possible any doubt about the
matter has put aside his pct and been" fully
persuaded" that his party is right aud h,
is wrong. But laying aside ones owl
convictions for any such reason as that
to derive party benefit thereby and t.
wilfully deceive the needless voter, il ar
outrage on common decency and an in.
suit to the intelligence OF the people. II
is a crime against conscience and il
league with the ricks and knavery o.
practical politics. or course, the Presi
dent believes in BIZ metalism and has
word against the free coinage Of silver
that is by this country alone But by n,
means are the Republicans the patty o
honest money or the advocates Of a coin
age on a sound basis.
The sermon act of 1890, which was moth
ing more than a compromise with the sill
YER men, has already shown what harm
such measure can do, and yet this bill
was passed by Republican Senate, bear

can Senate that passed the free 1coinage
act for this country which is omething
that the President condemns. And yet
he holds up his party as the party OF hon
est money and against an unlimited
coinage OF silver. Their works belle them
ana show their utterances to be false.
The tariff Is touched upon and Is made TO
appear as the vital question OF the hour.
II is a vital question, but not so much so
as the still more vital one OF preventing a
continuation OF Republican rule. We
have repeated here the Aldrich figures
regarding the rise in wages, the bubble OF
which was pricked by Senator Carlyle and
the lying figures OF Commissioners Peck
quoted to prove something which is not a
fact. Then the tin-plate story is gone in
to, when everyone knows that tin man

quotation on the price of So called Ameri.
can tin. What is more, 1t is impossible
to make certain grades OF tin here and the
only thing the tariff has done for the users
Of such goods is to make them pay more
for IL and so correspondingly
more their customers have to pay.
And In all this talk about three or four
new industries where is the benefit to
the working men and women OF this
country? When they ask for cheaper
wood they give them TIN plate; when they
ask for cheaper fish they give them silk
plush. Such is the tariff for the working
man, something devised for the benefit Of
the few which works TO the injury OF the
many.
Such is the Presidents acceptance, a
lame apology for policy that was never
devised TO be followed and intended to be
abandoned should the November gun
announce for them victory. The people
viii neither vote for nor support such a
party, nor President whose only aim Is
to perpetuate in power the party that put
him where he is.

COL. sMEED's WILL QUESTIONED.
His Daughter Says If He Left One, It Was
Gotten From Him by Design

Gotten From Him by Design.
OMAHA, Sept 26-The question as to who
is entitled to the property of Colonel Eben
C. Smeed, the well-known Union Pacific en-
gineer who dfed August q In Philadelphia,
is raised in the county court. Mrs. Jeanette
r. Nichols was present when he died,
and atterward followed the re-
mains to Kansas, where they were
inferred. 1t was reported that the Colonel
had left his property to Mrs. Nichols and
had cut Off his daughter. Mrs. Kate Smeed
Cross, of Emporia, Kan, without shilling.
The daughter of the departed railroad man
has fled q petition In the Probate Court Of
Douglass county, in which she alleges that
when Eben g. Smeed died he had personal
property of the value Of S12, 900 located in
Douglass county; that she was his daughter
and only heir at-law, and that when he died
he left no will by which his property was
beQueated to any person.
The petitioner further alleges that since
the death of her rather Mrs. Jeanette r.
Nichols has appeared on the scene, claiming
to hold a will which was executed by the
late Colonel Smeed during his life, in which
she is the beneficiary. The petition further
alleges that Mrs, Nichols was a designing
woman, and that II she holds will it was
secured through the influence of her de-
signs pra cticed upon the deceased just prior
to his death, and therefore Is not a will
which could be considered In any court.
Judge Eller has placed the petition on file
and has cited Mrs. Nichols to appear Sep
tember 30 to answer the petition and TO
bring her will to court.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26-The stock mar

Saturday had entirely disappeared and the
covering of shorts went on uninterrupted,
though the demand was transferred from
Reading to Northern Pacific preferred and
others. The trading to-day was strictly

upward movement attested the strength of
shorts Northern Pacific preferred was
lifted nearly 2 per cent and other favorites
from u to IL per cent, but with the satis-
faction of the early demand the market
sank again into extreme dullness, relieved
here and there BY spurts of activity and
strength among the leaders.
As a rule the opening gains, which ex-
tended to 4 per cent were slowly increased
throughout the greater portion of the day.

Northern Pacific for strength, but late in
the day Sugar was subjected to short spurt
which lifted its price ~ per cent Though
the rise in Reading seems to have culmi-
mated, at least for the present, Lackawanns
was advanced among other stocks, which
were strong. with excellent buying. Some
further pressure upon Reading was seen in
the late trading, but the market closed quiet
and firm to strong at above top figures.
There was again q wider distribution of
the business done in railroad bonds, and,
while Northern Pacific IS were still active
and were joined to-day by Texas Pacific
of 81, ,4s5, 900, the strength of the market was
not pronounced and even among the in
active issues few changes of note occurred
A firm temper prevailed throughout how
ever and prices are higher generally.
Government bonds were dull and steady.
