Fall or a Bridge In Course Of Con.
structi0n.
CINCINNATI, June 15-One of the most
fearful accidents in the history of this
vicinity was the fall of bridge in course
of construction over the Licking river
between Covington and Newport, KY,
to-day. Forty five workmen were on the
structure, and so far as known only two
escaped unhurt. The others were either
killed by crushing timbers or drowned
The cause is SAID to be the weakening OF
the wooden false work. The high
waters had washed out the earth support.
The men to-day We're engaged under the
direction of Robert and William Baird,
contractors, in placing the heavy iron
work of the main span, when without
warning there was headlong plunge of
the mass of timber, iron and worAmen
into the waters of the Licking river, so
feet below. The river was quickly lined
with rescuers on both sides.
The following bodies were recovered /:
Richard German, Thomas Burke, Will
ian Hartner, John O'Neil, Charles Scam
pom, Robert Baird. Thomas Downing,
Dick SDooner, Fred Brent, Charles Du-
venic, James Johnson, George Burke, N.
w. Burton, Dennis Harlow, B. F. Phelps,

of Engineer Gerry and James Callahan, a

IDLE to tell how many were drowned.
One body that of Madeline Adams, aged
1S, daughter of James Adams, has been
recovered. She was on board with her
brother, DR.. G. E. Adams, instructor of
physical culture of Michigan university,
who was saved. The captain IS the only
man who knows how many were on
board. and his condition is such that he
is unable to tell. Women have been
walking the wharves since the accident,
tearfully inquiring for relatives they
think have been lost. In Hampden
dwellings were leveled and their occu-
pants seriously injured, though none
fatally, as far as reported. In Bangor
and Brewer few honses were wrecked,
hundreds of chimneys carried away, and
numerous windows smashed. Icehouses
along the river were destroyed, and the
root of one was carried some distance
and dashed against large pulp mill in
Brewer. Lumber from Brewer was dis
trlbuted all over that town, some of it
floating through the air at the height of
30 feet. The lumber and paper mills at
Orono were heavily damaged.

SIX YEAR TENURE.

Mr.. Proctor of Vermont has intro
duced in the Senate bill fixing the
Presidential tenure at six years and for
bidding reflections. This is measure
which has been often discussed and is
rich in suggestiveness. 1t is not party
question and opinions will naturally
differ as TO its advisability, the advanced
thinkers Of both parties generally favor
ing it, the practical political workers in
opposition.
There is much TO be said both for and
against such bill. I'm its favor il Is
urged that Presidential elections hurt
business, so that they should be held as
seldom as possible, and that the possi-
bility of reelection prevents Presidents
of ambitious natures from pursuing
their course with an eye single to the
welfare of the people. SO long as re-
election is possible. it is natural, it is to
be expected, that every President will
wish the endorsement of his admins
tration by such reelection. And il is
the theory of the advocates of the Proc
tor bill that, desiring such an endorse
ment, any man must be more than NOR
tai who could withstand the temptation
to placate the politicians upon whose
favor so much is supposed to depend.
On the other hand, a government
changed only once in six years might be
too inelastic, might yield too slowly to
public pressure. A President sure of
long tenure and without hope of re-elec-
ton might make himself very obnoxious
to an adverse majority in Congress and
in the country.

The House of Representatives was
yesterday the scene of bitter partisan
debate over the bill prohibiting the issue
or negotiation Of bonds by the city of
Newport except when such bonds shall
have been authorized by the electors of
the city
Strange as it may seem, there were
Democrats who, in the face Of the mani
fest justice of the bill, were so blinded
by party prejudice that they not only
voted against the measure but resorted
10 all the arts Of the filibusterer to secure
delay. Yet in the end the peoples cause
won IA signal victory.
Nine-tenths of the voters of Newport,
without regard to party ties, will hail
yesterdays action in the House with en-
thusiasm. 1t was their cause, the cause
of the people against Honey, that the
Republican majority defended.
Mayor Honey knew that the bonding
proposition would never be accepted by
the people. That knowledge was the

bonds printed and sold before the pas
sage of the act.
Are the people of Newport, then, not
TO be trusted? Are they illiberal, old
fogyish, blind to the advantages OF public
improvements, that Gar must hold
them in his arbitrary and aristocratic
way and levy taxes without protest?
What a question There is absolute
ly no city in the United States whose
Welfare IL def,efftittfstt- irnprUvg-
inents. There is not one whose citizens
have been counted more uniformly on
the side of all progressive action. Not
one which needs Car so little.
The Newport bond question is not a
party question, except so far as Mayor
Honey has divided the citizens 10y the
sea, in forty days or so of arbitrary and
illegal acts, into the Party of the People
and the Party of the Politicians.
The House has done right. 1t has
met the emergency bravely, promptly,
wisely.
1t has reasserted, ON behalf of the tax
payers of Newport, the right of self-rule
and self-taxation.

THE ATTACK ON ALGER.

The assault on Gen. Ayers war record
has dragged TO light very interesting
bit of political history. In themselves
the slanderous statements published
were not of especial consequence, for by
their bitterness they defeated their own
ends. They had not even the excuse of
campaign exigiencics, for Algers boom
for the Republican nomination had not
attained sufficient growth to he worth
nipping, or nursing by such character
istic Democratic methods.
The one result has been 10 discredt
Secretary Endicotts administration of
the War Department; for it now ap-
pears that in the latter days of Cleve-
lands Presidency, when Alger's name
came up prominently as Republican
candidate, peremptory orders were re-
ceived by the clerks from the war sec
rotary TO search the archives and pre-
pare u summary of Alger's record for
use as campaign material. The dis
torted facts since published, and suf-
ficiently offset by the statement of AL
gers brigade surgeon, were made ready
as ammunition at that time. but the
nomination Of Gen. Harrison put the
target at which they were to be fired
out of gun range.
The investigations set on foot in
Washington within the past few days
have brought to light the fact that when
the overhauling of Alger's antercedents
proved wasted labor, the process was
indefatigably repeated for the benefit, or
injury, of Harrison. Five successive
searches of his war record were ordered
and five summaries We're wearily drawn
up by the patient clerks before the prof
itless task was giYen Oyer without the
discovery of any damaging flaws.
Dana's resuscitation of the Alger
story is proving a Democratic boomer
ang, for it is as forcible an illustration
as was ever set before the country of the
misuse of the War Records Office as a
partisan political engine. Secretary
Elkins' order that in future no records
shall be given except to soldiers to
whom they relate is an eminently sensi.
bic one.
