BALTIMORE News: The question of
Judge Woods innocence or guilt in the
matter of the charges brought against
him is not the thing in connection with
his nomination which ought to be chiefly
considered. The nomination by the
president of the United States of 9 man
who is suspected of having shielded from
trial the purchaser in Indiana's vote for
that president is a thing so scandalous

in a speech in tho United
States Senate, last We Ines lay, Sen.
Ator Morgan, Of Alabama, declared
that the Democracy would step to the
front and declare, not only that silver
should be equal with gold, but that it
should have the right Of free coinage.
Maybe it will-maybe it will. Blu,
what the country wants is not
promises, but acts. The Democrats
secured control of tho House Of Re-
representatives. by pledging themselves
to free coinage; but they have failed
to fulfill their promises. II is not yet
too late to demonstrate that the,
meant what they said in this particu'
lar. Let them pass bill decree

Rivalry In the Police Force.

A little town over in Jersey, which
is inhabited principally by New York
business men, has taken . great boom
lately. 1t has laid aside many of its
country ways and taken on some of q
municipality.
One Of the latest imr rovements has
been q Kindergarten police force, but
this has already led to great deal
of trouble.
Two "townies" were selected as the
force and supplied with uniforms pre-.
cisely similar to those worn by
Bysnes's men. Probably this fact had
some thing to do with the feeling of
concert that soon filled their breasts.
Que Of the officers was = man with

terday crowd of peaceable Chinese in
formed Chief Rogers that 40 highbinders
were enroute to this city from San
Francisco, to avenge the murders of
Tuesday night. They left San Francisco
byIsteamer and are expected ssto sarrive
this morning. From a reliable source
it was learned that the self-constituted
avengers are members of big high
binder society, and have sworn to kill
the promoters of last Tuesdays murders.
The peaceable Chinese are leaving the
city, fearing violence at the hands oi
the new corners. The local highbinders
are arming themselves and are prepar-
ing to give battle to the intruders.

Fruit shippers Complain.

YAKIMA, June, 4.-The Northern Pa
cific railway company complains that
Yakima fruit shippers are not particular
enough about the packages in which
they ship their fruit and other products.
To this shipper replies that last year
he shipped crate of watcrmelons to
friends in Montana. He paid several
dollars for the melons, had a new and
strong shipping crate built, put up the
balance of his money and mortgaged
several years of his life to pay the trans
portation charges, and then waited
patiently to hear enconiums on the ad-
mirable qualities of the Yakima water
melons. One lone watermelon arrived
at its destination. There was no crate
to it and it was cracked, and passed by
the brakeman and railroad employees on
account of being unwholesome, and so,
in line with the officers of the Northern
Pacific, he would advise shippers to use
more precaution. They should thor
oughly investigate the good qualities ot
the various safes, procure a time lock
and then take their chances.

The president,s strenetn.

MINNEAPOLIS, June Thirteen
states have instructed their delegates to
cast their votes at Minneapolis for the
denomination of President Harrison.
These are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina.
Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
These states will cast 29o votes in the
convention. The president would lack
155 of majority if he had to depend on
them alone. But in the 81 states that
have given no instructions there are
Harrison delegates as earnest and as
firm as those from Indiana and Illinois.
The uninstructed delegates number 598.
1t is gratifying to find that the custom
of instructing delegates has so far fallen
into disfayor that nearly two-thirds OF
the delegates are free from such dicta-
tion. All schemes to. stampede the con-
yention for Secretary Blaine are now
practically abandoned. The, promoters
of these plots admired Mr.. Blaine, but

Strike in okanogan.


SPOKANE, June 4.-News of rich free
gold strike on the Similikamen river,
about mile and one-half south of the
British line. has reached this city. The
mineral is found in quartz ledges which
stand out like huge reefs against the side
of the bluff trending north and south
and being exposed, showing the ledge to
be 300 feet wide. H. Ballard of Con-
Eeonnlly, we'll known engineer, arrived
iii the city last night and gave an ac-
count of the discovery. He said that
the ledge was bonded to F. w. Dunn
about 80 days ago, but the reports OF
value did not reach Conconully until a
few days ago. Seventeen claims have
been located and large numbers of men
are going to the scene of the strike daily.
Mr. Ballard said that he has often driven
over the ground, and about year age
broke out some rock from the ledge and
carried it to Conconully, intending to
assay it, but he thought that the ledge
was too large. eff it had been ledge
three feet Wide,'' said he, 81 should have
tested it, The property, is easy of access
and is the subject of much discussion.

want the Pheasants.

.CoLFAx, Wash, June 4.-Several
sportsmen of this city are at work upon
a proposition to introduce Chinese
pheasants into Whitman county. The
plan is to secure several pairs of these
birds from Oregon, and build a yard for
them where they will be cared for and
allowed to increase until sufficient
number is secured, when they would be
turned loose and protected by law until
such time as it was thought they were
thick enough, when they would be pro-
tected in their season, the same as other
game birds are. They are very numer-
ous in Oregon and are one OF the finest
of birds. The pheasants are as large al
an ordinary chicken, with very white
meat. It is estimated that the cost o.
procuring enough Of the birds to make
the start and making yard to take cart
of them in would be about $3.50.

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The convention
came to order at the appointed hour.
The permanent organization was affected
by choosing Hon. George L. Converse of
Ohio, president; Horace Davis, of Cali
fornia, senior vice president, with an
additional vice president from each state,
and an executive committee on the same
basis; and secretaries d. H. McAdam
and J. c. Broadwell. Mr.. Converse, on
assuming his duties, thanked the con-
yention for the honor conferred, and
then, reverting to the objects of the con-
vention, declared the building of the
Nicaragua canal was as necessary as the
casting of the cannon or the building of
ships in the time of war, and for that
reason, as we'll as being commercial
necessity, the government should have
| control of SO great waterway, which, it
! is felt, should be constructed at once.
These remarks were received with great
applause. The report of the committee
on resolutions indorsed the canal as feas-
ible, and recommended government as-
sistance, with protection secured to the
government interests. 1t recommended

Some Very Harsh Things. are Being said
NoN-FaErIsANs FEAR RESULTS
BIaine's Friends Have Forced Him
INTO the Position of Passive
Candidate.

MINNEAPoLIs, June 4.-If another
letter is not forthcoming from Blaine
within thirty-six hours it is impossible
to predict what the convention will do
The intensity of the situation may be
understood when it is stated thatssrepre-
sentatives of the associated press are
questioned every hour by anxious party
leaders as to whether any declaration
has been made, or is expected, at Wash
ington from Blaine. The contest is
growing in interest hourly. Men are be-
coming unduly excited. Factions are
beginning to say harsh things. Nom
partisans are beginning to fear the re-
suits OF the campaign, which ever wins.
Either by or against his will Blaine's
friends have forced him into the position
of passive candidate, and the Harrison
people are not unnaturally saying many
caustic things about the .secretary's
position, insisting that good faith will
compel him to write another letter of
declination.
The Blaine leaders are working hard
to bring about break to him from Har-
rison instructions in hope that it will be
accepted as precedent by other in
structed delegations, with the result of
further breaks to the man from Maine.
Wherever possible this will be helped
along by the, argument that Harrison in
structions were only given on the sup
position that Blaine would not be can
didate. and that the strong Blaine senti-
ment in their state will now justify them
in ignoring the instructions given under
these misapprehensions-
1 Among the conspicu GUS figures in the
Harrison headquarters this morning:
were those of Powell Clayton, of Arkan-
sas; r. C. Kerens, of Missouri; w. o.
Bradley, of Kentucky; H. Clay Evans
ton, and Ex-Governor Warmoth, of
LOUISIANA.
There is contest as to the right to
seats at the national republican conven-
, ton, in the third North Carolina district,
where two factions have chosen dele
gates. This makes contests in three dis
tricts.
