in 1885 she began the study of law in the
Office of Burnham G. Brown, at Man
chester, N. Fl. A year later she accepted
professorship in an Iowa college, but
resigned on advice of her physician
and went to Helena, where she taught
school until 1890, when she was admitted
to the bar and began active practice.
The conflict of the present year seems
to be bringing to the front a great many
persons who, while doubtless popular
and honored in their neighborhoods,
have yet to achieve national prominence.
Mr.. T. J. Hudson, who is the Peoples
party nominee for congress in the Third
Kansas district against Hon. L. U.
Humphrey, the Republican standard
bearer, is both a farmer and a lawyer
He is a resident of Wilson county and
has been a member of the legislature
Until 1890 he affiliated with the Demo
Gratis. The Peoples party candidate for
congress in the Second Kansas district
is S. S. King. Before his selection there
had been talk of fusion with the Demo-
Gratis, but that scheme is now thought
undesirable,

of the state for that honor, and is a
granddaughter Of Sam Houston, the

The method of choosing her was
novelty. The Galveston Tribune sug-
gested newspaper ballot. It was hail

contest of several weeks, all the gallant
young men of the, state electioneer-

that Miss Williams had received &C, 900
votes, that being 10000 more than her
nearest competitor had. Thus was she
declared by ballot s'the most popular
young woman in Texas and the deci-
sion was ratified by a unanimous hurrah
from the Sabine to the Rio Grande.
She is not only young and beautiful,
but intelligent and cultivated, and soon
after being chosen addressed public

with great ability. Very few are now
living who fought in her grandfather's
command on that famous field, but they

OMe OF t1e MOST Important AdJuMcts OF
Our New Navy.
One Of the most important steps in
modern naval progress, says the New York
Sun, has been the recent development of
rapid firing guns. The distinctive fea-
ture of these guns is their use of brass
cartridge cases, similar to those of small
arms, thereby permitting loading in a
single motion, and rendering sponging
unnecessary.
Beginning only few years ago with
guns firing one, three, and six-pound
shell, the system has been rapidly ex-
tended until to-day large part of the
battery of every modern ship consists Of
rapid fire guns of from four to six inches
In calibre.

silver bill by the Senate when thirty-four
senators were absent cannot excite any
surprise, for the Senate, by reason of the
alliance Of a few Republican silyerites
with the large Democratic silver vote, has
for two years past been able 20 pass
free silver bin. OF course, IL does
not change the attitude of the great parties
before the country, for both parties 81
their national conventions declared
against free silver in their platform, and
both selected candidates that are pledged
against free silver. Under these circum-
stances the free silver men of both parties,
who expect to support their national party
tickets, have only neeGlessly embarrassed
themselves for their best service during
the coming campaign.
The bill passed by the Senate means
free silver coinage with q vengeance.
Every owner OF silver, native or foreign,
can deposit his bullion in the United
States mint and have it coined into
standard dollars, which at the present
price Of silver contain about 20 cents
worth of that metal. This T0-cent dollar
is made legal tender for 100 cents. The
United States government would thus pay
every owner of silver 80 cents above the
market price for his bullion

IN MEMORY OF HANCOCK.

The anniversary of Gettysburg recalls
the fact that the real hero of that great
battle was General Hancock. 1t was
Hancoek's report that decided Meade to
fight at Gettysburg; it was Hancock who
restored order in Towards troops on
Cemetery Hill, occupied Cups Hill so
promptly that the victorious Ewell had
not time to seize it. and placed Geary's
division in a position 20 guard Little
Round Top. In other words, Han
cock posted the troops by night
fall of the first day on the true line
upon which the second days battle should
have been fought, and the disasters of the
second day were not due to Hancock's
lack of sound military eye and Judgment
but to the frightful blundec and violation
of orders by Sickles. The guns lost on
the front OF the Third corps were re-
taken under the personal direc-
ton of Hancock; and Carroll's bril-
gade after dark repulsed the enemy
from Cemetery Hill, where they had cap
tured two of our batteries. Carroll was
sent by General Gibbon under orders from
General Hancock and arrived just in time
to save Towards position.
1t was Hancock who rode up and down
our lines during the awful cannonade that
preceded Pickett's famous charge, with q
single orderly carrying his flag. when the
shot from hundred guns tore the ground
at his feet. 1t was Hancock that wrote a
note from the stretcher, where he lay des-
perately wounded, TO Meade urging him TO
launch the Fifth and Sixth corps upon
Lee before he had time to restore his lines.
General Doubleday and General Slocum
both declare that Hancock saved the
army the second day by his repulse of the
enemy that had pierced our center at
dark. Meade did not take Hancock's adj
vice, and Lee, who ought to have been
ruined by the recklessness of his assault
escaped with q severe repulse because
Meade utterly lacked. the moment Han
cock was disabled. all the energy and en-
terprise of q great commander. General
Longstreet says:
'Meade shouldn't have waited until the mex.
day. He shouldn't have waited ten seconds
PIckett's division had been knocked all to
pieoes-almost wiped out The same was the
case with A. p HIS corps, or at least two
divisions Of il. There were three divisions gone.
They left break in our line of over mile.
Meade shouldn't have waited st all, bu! should
have thrown his army rigat IN between US"
"That would have ended the whole things'
Probably. OF course, we would have tried
to get together and would have fought the best
We were able. But that was wna; Meade should
have done. EVERYBODY in both armies knew
the day before where the attack and the hard
fighting was to be- Meade knew sni prepared
for it, as he says The plan Of the battle was
known 70 everybody the day before il was
fought Grant was right, think The great
e., mistake of the Wa. on that side was in
Meade not making the move have indicated
the third tay OF the fighting"

who was guilty OF INSTRUMENTATION in the
Novara campaign of 1s4a. SickIes lost his
leg in the fight; he ought 70 have been
cashiered. Lieutenant-Colonel Carswel
Mcclellan fairly saws Of Sickles' response
bility for the terrible losses of the second
day:
Thousands of forms stretched upon the shot
ploved ground sttested the hIdeousness Of the
error committed when the risks of that fatal
advanced line were forced upon the federal
army. Il was nol alone the honor, efficiency. or
lives OF the renowned Third army corps that
were at stake Il wss not alone the safety OF
the right wing OF the army, threatened with as
sault when depleted to succor the cruInbllng
left. that was endangered IL was not the safety
OF the army of the Potomac alone that was i'm
periLied There were more than trains OF am
buIances and ordnance stores and artillery re-
serves sheltered behind the Round tops. Wash
ingto1 City, Baltimore, Philadelphia-the na-
tion-were guarded by those ragged rocks, upon
which the right arm OF the rebellion was broken
IL Genera! Warren and the Fifth army corps
had failed General Meade in that moment of
supreme need. in vain would have been the
sacrifice OF Zoox and Cross and all the lavish
Offering of blood and life in the Devils Den. and
field and orchard-ia vain the noble struggle OF
Graham at the angle, or the skill and gallantry
OF Humphreys on the right, or of Rice and
Chamberlain upon the lett-in vain the disci-
plined courage of Ayres' regulars, or the heroic
self-sacrifce of Bigelow and his caanoneers.
With the federal signal flags on Little Round
Top displaced by the stars and bars, the stand
ard OF the Confeieracy would have been estab-
Nshed before the world
The nation was saved, but to that end the
commander OF the Third army corps contrib
uted nothing save the emergency that gave
needless ana fearful opportunity for showing
the wonderful endurance of his command and
the magnificent courage o. its supporta
