succeeded In cutting OF the ship and plumber

to about $4,000, and twelve chests Of opium.

the ship James Monroe. Porter. OF New York.
and the briggs Gov. Endicott. jerks. OF Salem.
and Palmer, Powers. OF Boston. the Friendship
was retaken before they could accomplish
their object.
The attack was evidently concerted some

aided In the combination. The Achenese

opium into his possession. and refused the
restoration OF that as well az OF the ship.
Others Of distinction had united In the pratt

and murders.

OF Col ABE sLuPsxY. soldier and patriot. to take

From what 10 known Of the sLupsKYs OF the
eleventh century. and OF the fighting blood in
herited by Col ABE from his illustrous ances-
tors. We believe that the struggle between
patriotic inclination and the higher sense Of

worthy OF his name and fame.

Tho Buffalo Courier has long been ono OF
tho most patient and hopeful OF the Democrat
ic journals disposed to tolerate the pretensions
OF the Stuffed Prophet. For this reason some
interest attaches to tho report OF the situation
which tho editor Of the Courier sends from
Washington to his newspaper:
among those who oppose as well - among those
who favor the denomination Of Mr. CLEVELAND there 10
but one opinion regarding what would occur II ma.
jority OF the New York delegation TO the next Conven
ton should be favorable to him. This opinion is that
he would be rsnominatcd with practical unanmity.
On the other hand It is asserted by hts warmest
friends from the West and South that majority OF
the New York delegation should be opposed
10 him, no would not be renom.nnted. 1t 10
generally believed here by Democratic sena.
tors and Representatives that tho supporters OF Mr.
HILL will majority OF the delegation to be used
either in his HiLLs) interest or In opposition TO Mr.
CLxvELASp. Hence the general belief here among Dom.
ocratic Senators and Is that Mr. ClsvE
LANDS denomination Is altogether improbable and that
|: 10 improbable solely because OF Mr. Hills control Of
the organization of the party in New York.
MANY Of tho Western and southern Congressman
who believe that their Democratic constituents are
largely favor OF Mr. CLkvELASps denomination have
gradually and regre:iuy come to the conclusion that
Mr. CLxvELANp Is practically out OF the race Their only
hope that there may be change Of the situation In
New York. but this hope receives little encourage
ment."
Thus the ideal fades and disappears when
confronted by a condition and not a theory.

department will accommodate pupils
between the ages Of four and seven who
are not far enough advanced to enter the
regular primary department. Some
primary work will be done along with
the kindergarten work. The benefits at
tending the opening Of this department
are many. A large number Of pupils
can begin their education who otherwise
would be shut out on account of their
being below the school age. The old
building being more centrally located
will insure better attendance during
the cold weather than there would be at
the new building.

this Year.


The country has gone Democratic
Cleveland is elected and the fusion has
played havoc with Republican electors.
New York has given him majority of
25 ,000 and that was all that he needed.
Indiana is in doubt and so is Illinois but
when the country districts are heard
from they will probably show plurali-
ty for Harrison
Ohio shows great Republican gains as
do also Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Massachusetts and Connecticut Ore
gon, the Dakotas, Colorado and Nevada
however have all gone the way of the
Peoples Party and Fusion
The Republicans have made quite
number of gains in Congressman, but
not enough to effect the overwhelming
Democratic majority. 1t woula look
now as if we were to have four years of
Democratic control in executive and
both branches of congress.

Brown County has donenobly this year
and if she has not absolutely gone over to
Republicans on national and state poll
tics, the margin IS at least so close as to
give the chairman of the Democratic ic COM
mittee and all other Democrats but little
comfort. All towns have been heard from
now with the exception of Albin and Mil
ford and they give Harrison slight lead,
which is not likely to be overcome by ad-
ditional reports. AS outlined in the head
lines, Krook, Burg, Anderson, Boock and
Koch are elected by large majorities
while the fight between Pfaender and
Walton is still in doubt at / l pm. Skin

taking it all in all there is a good deal
in the local returns to feel proud over,

proved veritable landsl1des while Spell

SO Mr.. Doran declares himself. He
will defeat Senator Davis without re-
gard to the wishes Of the people. If in
the next legislature a majority Of the
members are Republican, Nh. Doran will
go into the Republican causus With one
hundred thousand dollars in his nand, as
an inference of his own statement, and
| if he can find man so base as to sell his
party and his principles, he will per
suade him to vote against Davis for Uni

Michael Doran thus brands himself az
a corrupter Of the representatives of ths

FEW INSIDE FACTS.
That Have Come to Light Since the Dis
charge Of Editor Sanders.
The Company Paid him Compromise
Charge Of $3.50 on Broken Contract.

Editor Sanders was paid off last week
and left the city. Before doing so he let
out a few facts which are very apt to
prove interesting, Previous to coming
here he had been employed on a St. Louis
paper and when picked out by the Volks-
blatt Company contract was entered
into which provided that Sanders should
remain here year and receiy a salary
of $50 per week.
After having tried various managers
the management of the paper was also
given to Sander, he accepting the same
at no increased salary. From that time
the Volksblatt appeared regularly, every
thing seemed serene and the directors re-
peatedly expressed their satisfaction with
the managers work.
On Wednesday evening, October 17th,
there occurred the fracas at the hotel in
which the drug-clerk of the City Drug
Store bruised Sanders face with milk
glass At the same time, according to
theWords of Sander and his friends, he
received an invitation to be present at
the Columbian Exposition and respon-
ded to it by going to Chicago, with the
view also Of avoiding questions relative
to his wound.
Upon his return on Monday even
employ who went to Chicago without
asking his permission. Mr.. Sander readily
and without any remonstrance yielded to
the demand. In subsequent meeting of
| the board of directors the action of the
| president was indorsed without even per-
mitting the accused to defend himself
against the charges brought against him.
i The editor thereupon instituted suit
of damages for breach of contract against
the company, or rather, against Prof.
REIN and Dr. o. C. Strickler. This had
a tWofold effect.
First, Messrs. Silverson, Hornburg and
i DR.. Strickler transferred all their stock
j gratuitously to Prof. REIN and stepped
out Of the company.
! Secondly, Mr.. Sander was approached
Il to name terms under which he would
Il drop the lawsuit. The latter gentleman
wishing to avoid unnecessary bother and
/ publicity told the questions that he
would be satisfied with the payment of
his salary up to Jan. 1st. 1898, amount
ing to nearly $4,000 which was finally
accepted.
i These seems to be the facts in this
! somewhat sensational business transac-
] tion and they explain themselves. In a
Z nutshell it appears that the Volksblatt
company was broken up on account of a
j scrap.
