WITHOUT EAT OR DRINK
THE SAD FATE OE A MISSING
YOUNG MAN.
In Search of silver Mine He
Finds a Horrible Death with
Misery His Only Companion
Found Dead I'm a Cave.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Jan. s.-Town and
country have been in a state of excite
ment for three weeks over themysteri-
Gus disappearance of John J.. Goshorn,
an agent OF the Mutual Life Insurance
company. The country for miles around
has been scourged by all classes of peo-
pie, and today the missing mans body
was found in small cave mot Bishop's) }
SIX miles from this city. He went there
on hunt tor silver. For many years
a story has been told of an old man who
dug silver from the inside of cave and
moulde it into coins of various sizes.
This story was told him and he went soon
after to seek his fortune in the mountains,
as he wrote his sweetheart at Winches-
ter. Va. 1t has been suggested by some
that he was murdered by the inhabitants
OF the mountains for his money, but the
supposition is hardly plausible.
The mouth of the cave is very small,
but five or ten feet from the entrance is
thirty-foot precipice. Down this he
fell and was stunned to unconscious
ness. Soon after his recovery he perhaps
began to look around tor means of escape
but his efforts were doomed to be fruit
less. He crawled up into small cell,
just large enough to admit his body, laid
down upon his back, bottoned his coat
closely around him, Strengthened out his
legs, threw the cape of his Macintosh
over his face, placed his right hand on
his breast and his lett hand by his
side, and there in the murky darkness
died Of hunger and misery.
The remains will be shipped tomorrow
to Charleston, W. Va, where his people,
who are very wealthy. will take charge

THE MINER LAW STANDS.
Michig ans New Method OF Selecting Elect
ors Dec ared Constitutional

Michfg ans New Method OF Selecting Elect
ors Dec ared Constitutional.
LANSING, MICH, June 1.-THE Supreme
Court to-day unanimously sustained the
Miner electoral law, Justice Montgomery
writing the opinion. All the points raised
by the petitioners are fully discussed and
decided in the affirmative for the law. The
court declares that the right of the Legisla-
tpre to determine thef mode of choosing
electors has been firmly established in prac-
tice since the adoption of the Constitution,
and does not seem to admit of controversy.
A question of the construction of the Ian
guage may be reasonably raised, but 1T 10
clearly susceptible OF one comforting upon
the Legislature power to say how the State
action shall be voiced. 1t does not lie with
any court to assert that that right has been
lost to the State by non-user. The act in
question is in conflict with the law OF Con-
gress, in so far as it attempts to FIX a date
for the meeting OF electors and the method
of certifying to their action, but the law Is
not necess arily imperative because in some
of its provisions the law Of the Legislature
has exceeded its power.
The Court says: "We have considered the
questions presented with the care that the
perativey require, and reach the conclu-
sion that the statute must stand as the law
full edict of the Legislature. The injustice
of any other than a uniform system OF elect
ing the President of the United States is
manifest. In legislating upon this subject.
it should not be regarded from . party
standpoint. but neither the fact that this
important consideration has been over
looked, nor that the legislation may result
in serious injustice, can extend our jurisdic-
tion OF Justify US in usurping functions
which, under the Constitution, pertain to
the Legislature"
The court politically is three Republican
and two Democrats. The Miner law was
passed by the last Legislature, which was
Democratic. The case will be carried to the
United States Supreme Court.

.RGTING TIL QUESTION.

The unusual spectacle of delegation of
iron manufacturers appearing in the
Amalgamated Convention to argue the
wages question, as presented yesterday
gives the most emphatic denial to the re-
port that both s;des We're SO enamored of
the prospects of idleness that they would
not go into conference. They have not
only shown their willingness to confer,
but the disposition to resort to argument
has gone to the unprecedented length of
manufacturers appearing in the organiza-
tiOn of the men and the men giving them
q fair hearing.
This method of treating the question
gives the best promise OF q reasonable and
fair settlement of the wages question. 1t
is true that manufacturers and the men
are still rather wide apart on the scale
question; but they usually are consider
able distance from each other in the third
week of June. The fact that they are
making reasonable and conscientious
effort to get together, and that each side
has shown willingness to give hearing
to the other, is good basis for hoping that
a compromise scale will he agreed upon
that will be satisfactory to both sides.

mentary bodies and representing con,
stituency according to the rules OF order.
But this care for female delicacy becomes
rather loose-jointed when it permits the
softer sex to make itself prominent in ma
tional conventions by starting the mob to
yelling the convention into doing what it
wants
Or was it the feminine quality OF emu
lation? The knowledge that some OF the
woman suffragists were delegated by con-
stituencies to sit in the convention may
have inspired the exponents OF the Old
fashioned woman's sphere with the de-
termination to throw the voting women
in the shade. Hence demonstration
which leads to the reflection that If this Is
the alternative to suffrage for womanhOod
the delicacy and charm of the female
character can be best preserved by endow-
ing all our wives and mothers with the
ballot. If we are to have ladies running
national conventions, give them seats on
the floor. Lovely woman will be much
less out of place there than leading mob
of shOuters in the gallery

DON'T GIVE 1T UP.

The positive news that the appropra-
ton providing for the survey of the Ohio
River and Lake Erie Canal has been elm
mated from the River and Harbor bill
gives rise to several thoughts. 1t reflects
great discredit on the methods of Con-
gress, it is matter for serious regret by all
thoughtful Americans who have consid-
cred the subject, and, above all, it is a
reason for renewed activity in pushing
the scheme. Local forces must be con-
centrated in displaying the advantages of
such waterway. Local Representatives
must be undaunted by present failure and
work hard by explaining the strong
features of the plan to secure future
success.
The importance of the matter is such as
ill brooks delay, and its inception should
be pressed with vigor. There has not
been half enough enthusiasm shown on
behalf of the canal in this district so far
The sooner our capitalists, merchants and
manufacturers realize their interests in
the matter and work for them with the
force which can only come by united
action, the sooner will the country awake
to the value of this inland waterway, and
thesooner will it be obtainable.

POINT FOR THE CLUBS.

The Philadelphia courts appear to be
working on the status of clubs under the
license act pretty clearly. An early
product is very decided precedent that a
salOon-keeper cannot evade the act by
setting up the pretense of club as
cloak for the main purpose of liquor
selling; and one worthy who made that
attempt is now suffering the penal con-
sequences of his error.
On the other hand case decided in
Philadelphia this week, in which verdict
was given for the defendant, establishes
the principle that the law cannot inter-
fere with bona fde clubs where the sale
of liquor is an incident to the social func-
tions of the organization. The instruc-
tiOns of the Judge on this point are a
little less positive than the finding of the
jury; but both'together give the genuine
club organization a status from which it
will be safe for them to sneeze at the
Brooks act.
This is the total of results from the
Philadelphia courts. Perhaps the rulings
elsewhere might put different phase on
it; but, as there has heretofore been
occasion to remark, if juries will not con-
vict, what can you do about it?

SHARP MEASURES NEEDED

The Chief of the Department of Public
Safety is reported as declaring that the
participation of police officers in that
"Millionaires' Club" excursion, as we'll as
some other recent remarkable proceedings
by members of the force, must cost them
their official heads. The statement indi.
Gates that the head of that important de.
partment is in earnest in maintaining dis.
cipline. 1t is to be hoped that his prom.
ises will be made good to the utmost.
1t disclosed remarkable conception OF
the attitude of police officials toward order
and morality when they were found large
ly represented i'm an affair of such disrepu-
table and disastrous character as that of
last week. When such manifestation of
the standard of conduct is made, it is evi-
dent that nothing less than severe meas
ures will have any efficacy. No man who
takes part in that orgie is proper person
to be on the police force. Mr.. Brown will
have the support of the public in cleaning
out the force of all such elements of de-
moraliZation.

MEN OF THE NAVY,

A communication published this morn.
ing from one who has experienced the
trials of a life before the mast in the
American navy contains most serious
charges which urgently demand investiga-
ton If one-half the assertions made be
true-and there is evidence that they are
all made in good faith-;t is more than
time that the abuses should be removed
The question of promotion has already
been discussed in Congress, and is likely
to recur at intervals until its solu-
ton has been found The leading
difficulty in promoting enlisted men
lies in the fact that for positions
of trust in the navies of to-day an amount
of scientific knowledge is necessary which
can hardly be obtained without technical
training. But this is trouble which can
be overcome by increasing facilities for the
training necessary.
One thing is certain, sthe weakest part
of our naval equipment is not in scarcity
of vessels, guns ard ornaments in gen.
eral, but in the personnel of our able sea-
men. Svme remedy for this state of af-
fairs has to be found, and the first step in
the right direction involves thorough
overhauling of the present conditions of
naval service And next in order will be
the creation of such inducements as shall
put our defense in the hands of American
citizens,

THE TWO-THIRDS RULE.

AeREAT advantage of the two-thirds rule
is that it prevents hasty action by the ma

In the Democratic conventions Of 1886 and

his "two-thirds rule" again and it was
adopted Chicago Herald
ALTHOUGH this has been the law OF the
party for so years, a law which no Democrat
dreams OF disturbing, the Mugwump press
is beginning to howl for its repeal.-Brookiyn
C.teen
THE rule was made in 1882 at the first Dom
ocratic National Convention ever held and
it has been readopted by every convention
since. There is nothing, however, requiring
a convention to accept it.-BuDdIo Express.
The two-thirds rule is curious illustra-
ton of the power of tradition. 1t had q real
excuse for existence in the ante-bellum
period, when the representatives of the
slave holders lacked a majority in the Dem
ocratic Convention.-NeW York Post.
WHATEVER may be the arguments for or
against the rule on abstract grounds, there
is no question that, as matter Of fact.
every delegate to the Chicago Convention
was elected with very clear understanding
that he was to be bound by the two-thirds
rule.-Nep York World
IT is remarkable that the fundamental
principle of democracy-"The will OF the
majority is supreme"-should apply in all
Democratic councils and govern all Demo
cratic assemblies with the single exec pt1on
of the most important gathering of all-the
National Convention.-Chicago Mail.

THE SATURDAY HALF-HoLIpAY.

Summer is here. If the geniality of
the weather fails to demonstrate the fact
the advent of the Saturday half-holiday
to-day should settle the question. The
weekly half-holiday during the hot season
is grand institution. The worst thing
about it is that it is not sufficiently wide
spread. 1t should be taken up in more
establishments this year than heretofore,
and each season should show a greater
progress towards its universally.
This nation is altogether too much de-
voted to business, and Pittsburg is a
striking example of the national failing.
There is too much dollar-hunting and too
little recreation. Lives are too much mar
rowed in their scope, and the nation and
the city will be all the better for more reg
ular holidays and less waiting for nervous
collapses before lessening the strain.

woMAN's PLACE IN CONVENTIONS,

One feature of the convention last week
cannot pass without little philosophiz-
ing The spectacle of the wives of promi-
nent politicians, themselves women of
social Importance, taking part in the con-
vention was not due to the women who
were delegates Those outgrowths of the
female suffrage movement governed them
selves by the old-fashioned notion that
they were there to cast their votes and
proceed quietly according to the rules of
parliamentary gatherings.
But an entirely different opinion was
held by the development of women in
politics which was most conspicuous. The
women of social prominence who stood on
benches in the galleries and swung their
parasols to lead the vociferous eXempli-
fication of the great political idel of nomi-
mating candidates by pure power of lungs
are not understood to be in favor of
woman suffrage. They believe-theo-
retically, of course-that the true place of
woman is at the flreside, and that the
delicacy of her charms will be deteriorated
by contact with the rough and vociferous
ebullitions of politics. Here we have an
other of those puzzling hiatuses between
practice and precept which cannot be
reconciled except on the ground of the
persistent incongruity of all things.
Women must not unsex themselves by
walking up to the ballot box and deposit
ing their ballots; or by sitfAag in parlia-

ALLURING, BUT IMPROBABLE.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in pursuit of
its organic theory that Dalzell man is
worse than Democrat, seeks consolation
for the Waterloo of the Quay contingent
at Minneapolis by discovering dark and
reasonable designs on the part of the op-
pOnents of Quay in this State The deep
dyed Reform Republican Club is guilty of
''trying to find out how many Republicans
there are in Pennsylvania who will vote
for Democratic, or, what is the same
thing, Independent candidates for the
Legislature" This, in the opinion of the
Inquirer, shows the desperate motives of
the reformers and the wholly lost char
acter of the DalzelI Senatorial movement
An Independent or Democratic Legisa-
ture on the conditions outlined by the In
guirer would have a good MANY attrac-
lions to some people who count them
selves very good Republicans. The
great argument against throwing off
party lines in legislative elections
has been the danger of weakening the
protectionist cause in the Senate. But
when the Inquirer represents this move
ment as made in the interest of Dalzell it
offers guarantee that it would advance
to the Senate one of the most eloquent
champions of protection, and one who
represents more nearly what Congress
ional representative should be than any,
one the Republicans of Pennsylvania have
had to represent them since Tnaddeus
Stevens.
With that condition the allurements for
independent voting on the legislative cleo
lions would be quite strong. They would
include the possibility of Legislature at
least as prompt In the service of the peo-
