Political Leaders-who Are TheyP

Political Leaders-Who Are They?
Editor Morning News: There is gooi
deal of permitted humbuggery in the
world, kind of good>natured humbuggery
that the people submit to, smile at,
and many times indorse. Society is so or
ganized that there must be so-called leaders
in everything. In the church we have the
priest, preacher and parson; In science, the
so-called scientist, who talks learnedly the less
be knows-that is, he uses scientific words
to cover up his real want OF knowledge.
The physician throws at his patients high
sounding Latin or Greek words, and the
partisan, by courtesy called politician,
talks learnedly of constitutional principles
or policies without an original idea in his
head
The people good naturally listen but their
good common sense they keep to themselves.
They do not argue. they do not contradict,
they are not given to bold assertions, or Sir
Oracle predictions. Like an intelligent jury,
they hear all sides weigh all evidenced in the
scales of common sense, ask what Is
really right and just and then bring in
their verdict. But if the jury attempts to
resolve itself in judge or lawyer, nine
times out Of ten the verdict may be wrong.
The mixing up of law aud common
Justice do not run together well. The
jury becomes confused, COMPOUNDED, and we
have a bad verdict or mistrial.
The great majority OF mankind are not
thinkers In the exact and true sense of the
word. Business men, full Of business, have
not time to study government as science;
neither have they time to study theology to
understand the Bible but they have enough
of common sense to know how to be religi-
Gus and pious, how to fear and worship God.
80 in verything. There is, therefore, from
the very nature of society self-lmposed,
self-appointed, self-constituted leaders.
They take it upon themselves to be the in
Btructors, teachers and leaders of the peo-
pie. A man with large self-esteem. large
approbativeness, large combativeness, and
full of self and ambition, will make himself
heard for his much talking
have been lead to the above reflections
by reading the proceedings of the late
republican and democratic conventions.
Ire noisiest so-called leaders in both
parties were bitterly opposed to President
Harrison and ex-President Cleveland. The
burden Of their cry was: They are un-
available unpopular with the people, and
want their own way too much" The com
mon sense OF the people in both parties saw
through the motives of the noisy, self
important leaders. They were disappointed
0ffice-seekers, or men who could not IN
huence as they desired, could not get any of
the "spoils" Of Office, their friends were not
provided for, etc.. etc. The people are not
set OF asses, though they constitute the
masses.
How do the Sir Oracle leaders divine the
mind OF the people except by taking coun-
sci OF their own disappointments9 They
90 not see or feel beyond their own selfish
interests. Office, Office, office for me and my
Afienos, are the only principles or polices

Robbery on a Steamer.

SAX FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-On the
voyage up from AdJutla the Pacific
mail steamship San Jose was the scene
of bold robbery of diamonds and jew
elry valued at $4,000, belonging to E..
Costallat, agent of the Hotchkiss Gun
Co. Costallat boarded the steamer San
Jose at Adajutla. He brought on board
a large amount of money in Mexican
silver which was stored in the steamers
tanks. He also delivered to Purser
Ramon q small box which he said con-
tanned his wife's jewels. Ramon, in
stead of putting the box in his safe,
placed it on the table in his room.
When the vessel was outside the har-
Dor the box was missing. The captain
ordered all the passengers searched but
no trace of the jewels was found. The
only explanation of the mystery is that
the box was stolen by tally clerk at
Adajutla who has since disappeared.
The robbery greatly excited the San
Jose's passengers but nothing will be
done about it until the main New York
Office is heard from.

The Borden Trial.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 26.-The
character of the crowd in the district
court room this morning at the resump-
ton fthe Borden hearing was mate
rally different from that of yesterday.
Men were more plentiful and the wo-
men correspondingly scarce. DR.. Do
Ian took took the stand and described
the axe with which it is thought themur-
ders were committed and on which some
blood must have been spattered. Wit
ness said the bodies have been disin-
tered. The skulls were removed from
the bodies by instructions of the attor-
ncy general. The skulls were cleaned
and the bodies are now buried without
the heads. The skulls were photo
graphed and they are now i'll Witness
possession. No member of the Borden
family was informed of the removal
and photographing of the skulls as far
as witness knew. In the Witness
opinion Mrs. Borden died from one to
two hours before Mr.. Borden.

mated for Governor by the democratic

LONDON, Aug ga fearful mining
accident occurred this morning at the
Parkslip coal pit, near Bridgend, Il min
ing town in Wales The day shift of
$50 miners had not been long in the
mine before most terrible explosion
WAS heard. The explosion had caused

PARIS, Aug. ga dispatch from
LEVIN, mining town in the Depart
ment of Pas de Calais, states that the
troubles between the French and Bel
gian miners employed there eliminated
to-day in serious disturbance. The
Frenchmen in body attacked the
dwellings occupied by the Belgians
and smashed every window in them.
The Belgians appealed to the gendarmes
for help to protect their houses, but
when the officers attempted to dispense
the rioters the latter showed such an
ugly disposition that it was found ne
cessary to call upon the troops to sup
press the disorder. The Belgian miners
have been advised to leave France in
the event of further assaults being
made upon them.

A Sensational Will Case.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 26.-The death
in Philadelphia recently of Col. c.
Smeed, chief engineer of the Union Pa
cifc r. r. Co., promises to lead to a
highly sensational law suit in an at
tempt to break the will ofthe deceased,
by the terms of which the property is
to be divided equally between his
daughter and a lady who was referred
to as his affianced, Mrs. Jeanette Mich
olas, of Omaha, divorced woman.
The contestant will sllege that Col. Smced
was not in condition to make will st the
time the instrument was executed and that he
was unduly Influenced in the matter. Col
Smecds estate is variously estimated at from
$50 600 to 100000.

A DOCTOR SECURES DIvoRCE.-Dr.
John c. Lester, prominent physician
of Brooklyn, has obtained an absolute
divorce from his wife, and the gossips
of that city hold up their hands in won
der. The doctor was member of the
Kings County Medical Society, and
surgeon general of the American Provi
dent Union. Mrs. Lester was jealous
of him. Her jealousy went SO far as to
break up his practice and force him to
leave the town and take up a lonely
residence in the State of South Dakota.
Mrs. Lester, the husband says, in the
sworn testimony upon which he secured
divorce, would linger about the office,
and when a female patient called
would listen at the Office door to the
whole conversation. Sometimes she
would burst into the room unexpected
ly when woman was there. AS his prac-
tice was largely among women, hiswife's
conduct caused his practice to dwin
die to almost nothing. Theywere married
some twelve years ago, and his wife was
reputed at the time ofthe wedding to be
wealthy. The grounds upon which
the divorce was granted were cruelty.
and desertion-the latter because Mrs.
Lester would not go with him to South
Dakota.

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, AUG. 20, 1892.

GRAND MASTER SWEENEY, OF the
Switchmcn's Union, as stated in yester-
davis GAZETTE, was, on the morning OIL
that day, assaulted, Knocked down ana
badly beaten by one of the striking
,oor,hers of that union. The assault
was ofcourse criminal, and the assailant
should be punished for it-and aiso' ior
being fool enough to 60 on astrlke at his
victims order. But there are Palliat-
inc circumstances. The striker had
good and permanent employment at
wages 80 remunerative that there were
ten applicants for his place as socn as
he gave it up. He abandoned it at the
command of Mr.. Sweeney, who doesn't
do any work, but lives an idle and lux
urious life on fund maintained by as
sessments paid by the members OF the
union of which he is at the head. He
declared the strike ''on," and when he
declared it 'off," and the poor striker
saw another man in his place, and re-
allied the fact that he would have to
hustle for another one in order to keep
those dependent upon him for support
from starving, it was not unnatural,
especially as for the preceding two
weeks he had been accustomed to
scenes and deeds of violence, that he
should have vented his feelings by an
attack upon the author of his misfor-
ra..,,,a

HIS ARM sNAxE'sJAw.-Suner.

His ARN IN A SNAKES JAw.-Super-
intendent Stephens, of the Geological
Garden in Cincinnati, o., had thrill
ing encounter with a 14-foot python
yesterday, during which the snake at
tempted to swallow Mr.. Stephens arm.
The superintendent had occasion to
move the python and boa constructor
from their cage preparatory to making
some alterations in the cage He had
already placed the boa in box, and in
handling the python the latter wrap
ped its tail around Stephens legs
while he had hold of it around the
throat. Then began terrible fight.
He tried to kick it loose, but only got
deeper in the insidious coils. Then
with sudden twist the python turned
in his hands and the snakes eyes glared
fiercely into Mr.. Stephens. The spec
tators stood appalled,, while the python
began to swallow its victims hand: A
long fang penetrated to the bone of the
thumb and blood spurted from the
snakes mouth and trickled to the floor.
The moment was critical. With more
than superhuman strength Stephens
erasped the throat of the monster with
his free hand and with the energy of
dispair choked the snake till it gasped
for breath.
When the jaws parted the hand was jerked
out, breaking off a piece OF the fang that came
away in the wound The attendants rushed
in and together beat off the coils from his logs
and the monster was deposited safely in the
box. The python is not venomous, so Mr.
Stephens will be in no great danger from the
wound but the pain was intense until he dis.
covered and extracted the fang.
