DEMOCRATS have observed that the
hair-pulling in Congress between the
Democratic bosses and the crack Of Hilis
whipin New York have not created any
loud mourning among Republicans.
They are standing up under it bravely.

Democratic rules.

CONGRESSMAN SHERMAN HoAR, the
young Mugwump Democrat from Masss-

whole majority and prevent the Demo
crats from passing a free silver bill. Mr..

VALUE OF DIPLOMAS

A diploma is a recognition of scholarship
for which to strive. The standard required
for graduation will be sufficiently high to
present stimulus for faithful study, and to
give those who reach tina: standard due credit
for thorough work and fair scholastic attain
ment. A common school diploma will have
no intrinsic or professional value. however.
While it is presumed TO be ample evidence
of good scholarship, yet no license to teach
viii be granted upon the record made in Sc
curing it. Teaching is special work and
requires special preparation graduates, as
the best products of our common schools are
encouraged to enter the professional schools
for the training Of teachers that they may
receive that special preparation for which
their work in TIE common schools has laid
q good foundation.

l MURDERER DEFINING SWINGS. A Large Crowd Witnesses the Exc.
 cution in Melbourne-The Victim
 Declares His Innocence of the Rain
 Hill Crimes-No Intention of Mak-
 ing a Speech on the ScaHoId.
 MELBOURNE, May 22.-Deeming was hanged at 1O:O1 o'clock this morning.
 Deeming passed Sunday in writing, calmly discussing at intervals his ap- preaching doom. He said he had no in- tention of making speech on the scsf- fold. On Sunday night he thrice swallow ed eagerly small allowance of spirits, af- ! awakened at 7 o'clock this (Monday) morn l ing. Then for the first time since his arrest the manacles on his wrists were removed, and, smoking cigar, conversed with those 1 around him. He declared that he was re- l signed to his fate and had no fears in re- gard to the future. To the governor of the prison he said he had made his peace with God. He persisted in denying that he was guilty of the Rain Hill murders. He had never, he declared, lost his self-control in England as he had since his arrival in Aus tralia.
 He expressed gratitude to the governor and all the prison officials for the consider ation shown him, and also to MT. Lyle, his counsel, and to all concerned in his de- fense. He eaid he thought he would not falter or make any scene on the scaffold.
 A few moments before the time set for the execution Deeming was allowed glass of brandy, which he swallowed at gulp, and he was told that he might have more if the prison doctor 80 ordered. The doomed man was then led to the gallows and in few moments all was over.
 The drop was seven feet.
 The execution was witnessed by a large gathering, including government and civil officials, magistrates, police and clergymen. There was an immense crowd outside the prison from an early hour in the morning until long after the execution was over. Order was maintained by strong force of police.
 When weighed early this morning Deem ing turned the scale at 143 pounds, which is fourteen pounds less than he weighed when admitted to theriso n.
 On the arrival of the hangman and dep uty government at Deeming's cell Deeming was praying fervently. repeating again and again, "Lord, have mercy on my soul" He continued muttering prayer as he was led to the scaffold. He wore cap which partially shaded his face from view. The prisoner walked firmly to the scaffold, but appeared to be trembling On the scaffold he shook hands twice with the sheriff. To the latter's query whether he had anything to say, Deeming replied faintly, "May the Lord receive my spirit"
 The black cap was then drawn over his face and the prison chaplain read the burial service, at the conclusion of which the bolt was drawn and tho body dropped. Death was instantaneous, and after the first momentary swaying of the body no further movement was noticed. The hang man wore false white beard. There was no public demonstration outside the jail.

THE FLOODED WEST.

The Des Motnes River Again Rising Five Hundred People Rescued From Drowning in Spring field. OTTUMwA, Ia. May 22.-The Des Moines river has again risen so rapidly that it is impossible at this moment to get any trains from the west. Four large ice houses and 10, ,000 tons of ice have been taken down the river, and number of houses are in danger. The greatest fear now lies in the unsafe condition of the Iowa Water com pany's levee. This levee holds four feet of water.
 SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 22.-Dr Macken- zie of Chester reports that five hundred people in the vicinity have been rescued from drowning and quartered in hotels, barns and in stalls at the fair grounds. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 22-Advices from Red Bluffs state that the steamer Anna B. Adams, which has been in the flooded district be,wee here and that point for three days, has rescued fifteen hundred persons from the waters. A boat load of provisions will be shipped from here tomorrow for the sufferers. The river here is slowly falling.
 PINE BLUFF, Ark, May 22.-The desti- tuition of the flood sufferers up and down the Arkansas river is dreadful. In the Slum Bayou and White Bluff district the water is so high that boats had to be sent there to rescue the people. The steamer Anna B. Adams brought 1,200 refugees here this morning, and 220 more were landed this afternoon by the government boat Cleveland. The officers of the Adams report two women and a child drowned. The women's husbands climbed trees and were rescued. Both steamers have re- turned to the flooded districts. The citi- zens are doing all in their power for the sufferers, and the war department is rem deripp valuable assistance

THEY WE'RE ALL BLAINE MEN.
 John M. Thurston Talks Abou,
 the Secret Conference at General
 Algerss Home Unless the PIumed
 Knight Positively Declines He
 Will He she Choice Of the mfn-
 neapolis Convention.
 CHICAGO, May 32.-John NJ. Thurston, who attended the secret conference at Gen. eral Alger's home in Detroit. remarked here last night: "Unless Blaine says posi- lively he will not accept the nomination if it is rendered to him, think the Minne- apolis convention will choose him as its candidate for the presidency. And it makes me feel good when I think about the success that awaits Blaine and the re- publican party"
 NIT. Thurston declared that the meeting at the Alger residence could not be called a political conference. "We talked about everything" said he, ''all about the crops, the weather and the floods and incidentally about the flood of Blaine sentiment that has spread over the entire country. We were all Blaine men; there was not a fed eral oficeholder in the party, and I think 1t was the opinion of every man there that Blaine would be the next president. The party comprised Fassett of New York, Langston of Virginia, Filley of Mis- souri, Sanborn of Michigan, Mir Clark son and wife and my wife and myself, besides few ladies and gentlemen from Detroit. The ladies talked about things in which they were interested and we about matters in which we were interested. I think it was the opinion of all that Blaine's would prove the sure road to success.
 "Blaine's letter is not considered final and unless he says before the convention he will not accept the nomination it will be given him. I believe his party has the right to require this service from him, as it would certainly result in good to the party at lsrge."'
 Mir. Thurston further said: sfWhile I was in New York recently I talked to great many leaders of the party and they seem to think Harrison's success in the state is by no means assured. They are positive that Blaine can carry the state and for this reason they desire his nomination" |"
 He did not know whether or not Alger | would accept second place. He said Alger | was an ardent Blaine man and if Blaine | would not allow his name to be presented | General Alger would, he Thurston) be- | ieved, be 8 candidate for first place.

QUEER CASE. The Medical Profession of Fall River
 Puzzled.

FALL RIVER, Mass, May 22.-The local medical profession is much interested in the following we'll authenticated facts re- ported by Dr. Casgrain, a respectable physician of this city: Victoria Berube, aged six years, died yesterday noon after remaining unconscious for sixty-four hours. She had been in delicate health for two years. Wednesday she went home from school and shortly afterwards was taken sick, vomiting black substance.
 Dr. Casgrain was called snd found the patient insensible. He was una ble to resuscitate her. Two hours before her death yesterday noon she vomited 8 dark reddish substance,
 which on examination was found to con tain partially formed bird. The doctor declines to advance any theory, but will report the facts shortly to the local medi- cal society. A prominent physician ad- vances the theory that the child may have eaten a parboiled half-hatched egg. The beak of the bird may have become imbed- ded in the walls of the stomach. This the ory is strengthened by the fact that symp toms of gastro- -entortitis preceded death.
