RUssIAvILLE, Ind, Dec. 30.-A few of the
Democrats of this vicinity congregated at
the blacksmith shop of Hodson d. Gilliland.
yesterday afternoon, and held an election
to determine who should be the candidate
for postmaster at this place when the pros
ent incumb bent shall be relieved. There
are about seventy-ive Democratic voters
in the township. and the greater part of
them are holding up their hands IA appli-
cants for the place. There were only nine
teen votes cast at the election, and six of
the voters were candidates. 1t required
two ballots to determine the choice, which
fell upon Samuel Hodsou, q farmer, by only
one VOTE, C.. w. Jones, a grocery clerk. re-
ceiving. the next highest honors. 1t is
generally supposed hat those who
failed TO take part in the election are
expecting to make individual applications
for the place. and are placing the election
in the light of q huge joke. The party
leaders who are also aspirants for the place
took no parC in the election. John L.
Clifford. the former postmaster under Cleve-
land, was one of the candidates in the cleo
ton. IN was dropped after the first ballot.
1t is not generally supposed that MIR. Hold
son, the lucky man IN the election. will re-
ceiye the appointment. but that some one
who has the "'huence" will gobble it.

Victim of a Princes Passion.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec. 30.-Some exotic
ment was caused In operate and theatrical
circles here to-day By the tragic death of
Eliza Roge. a young woman well known in
the operatic and gay world. The girl shot
herself while dining in q cafe with the
Prince S~tolewski. who became infatuated
with her some months ago. The Prince ex-
planned the sad affair by saying that he
had tired of the girl, but did not desire TO
leave her in poverty. He bad asked her to
go to the cafe with him In order to make
arrangements with her for her future SUD-
port. When he told her that they must
part she drew q revolver and killed herself.

A Popui,ts Money-Lendinr scheme.

TOPEKA. Kan., Dec. @.-The Populites
propose to i~naugurate q new movement
when they take hold of the reins of gov
eminent which will have for its object the
protection of both borrowers and lenders.
For that purpose q loan commission Is TO
be created. which G~overnor-elect Lewellyn
will recommend in his message to the
Legislature. On that point one of his
closest political advisors said: The Gov
ernor understands. as we all do. that an
nually many thousand industrious men
lose their homes by foreclosure of mort
cages. This is the indirect result of high
rates Of interest and brokers' charges. A
simple remedy for this Is the loan COM
mission proposed. The commission would
place loans through the ounty commits
sioners. The counties might guarantee the
loans, If thought advisable. 1t would not
be necessary for the commissioners to
handle the funds. as provision might be
made for all money TO pass through the
State treasury. Loans thus guaranteed by
the State Will be much sought after in the
East, and as o result rates of interest would
ONE down and there would be no brokers
charges.o

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The Star says:
The friends of Mr.. Morrison are satisfied that

some time Mr.. Morrison's friends have been
working for harmony. with the view 10 get the
united support OF the Democrats OF the States
for him for the Cabinet. Their efforts have been
successful, and the visit of Representative
Owen Scott to Mr.. Cleveland this week was to
convey 10 him the assurance OF Senator Palmer,
who leads the anti Morrison faction, that the
selection of Morrison for the Cabinet would be
received with favor by the united Illinois Demo-

Leaders,.

The world has always admired and
followed leaders, without much philoso-
phizing as to what qualities they had
that made them so: They have been in
all walks Of life, civil, military, and
religious. Moses, Alexander. Socrates,
Plato, Caesar, Mohomet, Luther, Col
umbus, Napoleon, Newton, Washing
ton, Lincoln, grant, Livingston all
have had their influence and left their
impress, not only on their own genera
ton, but on all which have followed to
this day. The influence of some has
been for evil-more for good. Among
the benefactors are the discoveries and
pioneer, and in this category can be
justly placed the Burlington system OF
railroads. They opened up the great
State of Nebraska, reached, first that
storehouse of silver, Colorodo, and are
pioneers in all improvements which
add to the comfort or safety of patrons.

l think the railroad company knows
neither neighbor. friend nor foe in this
matter of rates, but strictly does its duty
as carrier by not giving rates to one and
refusing another. If my memory serves
me right, when the company incorpo
rated 10 build road across the mount
aims, and accepted the grant OF the Cen
eraI Government, it was to build and
equip ten miles of road before it could re-
ceiye any land or bonds. At the same
Tune the country was engaged in sup
pressing gigantic rebellion, and war
with some foreign power was very prob
able, and speedy construction of an
overland road was real necessity.
No money was wanted to complete this
hrst ten miles, at least. but did san
Francisco come to their aid? l think
not. one would suppose that patriotism,
II lInothlng else, would have called her out,
but she did not come, but delighted to
call 1t the Dutch Flat swindle'' and 'the
overland fraud" But, if ] remember
rightly, she did come at last, but it was at
a time when the company could well get
along without her.
But how about Sacramento, which had,
from most disastrous flood, to incur u
very burdensome debt? She did all that
was possible under the circumstances.
The county came to the aid OF the COM
pany, and Placer County loaned the com
pany 100000 Of its bonds. At that time
her resources were limited The State of
California had loaned the millions Of its
bonds, but San Francisco kept a tight
grip on her purse. So, l think she is not
entitled to any favors from the company,
to the injury of the Interior. Her delega-
