THE GRESHAM I T

The political sensation just now is tn,
rumor to the effect That Mr.. Cleveland Is
to appoint Judge Walter Q. Gresham ms
MS Secretary of State. The Associated
fress makes the announcement as official
and reports fcrther the appointments OF
Senator Carlisle to the Treasury portfolio,
Dan. Lamont, Secretary of War, and W.
;. Bissell, of Buffalo. General.
b appointment of Mr.. Gresham is not
only a surprise, but comes in the nature OF
a shock to the great mass of Democrats
VINO believe in honoring the Demo-
Gratis who hasc made themselves worthy
by years of Democ ratio service. Mr..
Gresham has always voted the Repulli-
can ticket until the last election when
his vote was cast tor Mr.. Cleveland with
the public explanation that the act was
due to his personal dislike tor VIZ. Harri-
son, and that he could no longer act with
his party on the tariff question, bnt dis.
avowing at the same time, his allegiance
I the Democratic party. Therefore. the
straisht-ont Democrats of the country
are very emphatic in condemning the
proposition. They recall his radical an.
teeedents and his official relations to the
present time, accepted from Republican
sources, and added to this the fact that
IN the case of death of the President and
Vice-President he would become Presi.
dent they look upon the appointment with
a mingled feeling of disgust aud indigna-
ton.
There are some exceptions, however,
believe his appointment would in
sure a great personality at the head of
State Department, and Il bold, fear
less foreign policy. Such men as Sena-
tor Worthless holds to this opinion. Nr.
GARRISON, on the Republican side, ap-
'roves the appointment and adds his
belief that Mr.. Cleveland would form a
lew party composed OF both Democrats
nd Republicans Of conservative proclly-
ties.
To say the least, the appointment
no little amount of coustcr-
alton among the Democrats and causes
feeling of dis,rust and apprehension
throughout the country in regard to the
cleveland administration.
lhere are scores of men, lifelong Demo-
who have fought the party's bat ,
les and won the victory, e%minently
tied for the high position, and it will ,
e a SID day for the party's good when
lch men are ignored in the interest of 7
'esh converts. In politics, we approve
Methodist Church principle-and fla. p
Or keeping Judge Gresham Oh the pro-
list before taking him into full fl
llowship, and especially object to his
ling made a bishop. o
Accrediting to Mr.. Cleveland a due G
Mount of wisdom and far-sicltedncss.
1T to Judge Gresham the fine qualities c.
head and heart, and admitting that he "
Il maj who would serve in the position
it'll interest TO the Democratic princi- b
es, still the party will not meekly bow =
approval of the appointment, and it j,
III not be accepted that Mr.. Cleveland :,

Crime, the history of which reads
like a romance, is charged in suit
brought in the Circuit Court i'll this
city. The robbery of Il wcak-mlnded
but wealthy man by scheming
lawyer, who employed hypnotism
and the influence of woman to ac-
eomplish his purpose, is the story
told In the bill of complaint.
All the parties to the case live in
New York City. but the suit is
brought in this city, as it is here
that the remnants of the victim s
fortune is said to be on deposit.
The complainant is James w.
Dixon, who is trying to secure the
custody of his brother, Henry W.
Dixon, and the possession OF what is
left of his brothers estate, from Hen
nv a. Root, New York lawyer. The
story, as told in the bill filed
in court, covers a period OF
about eight years. During that
time it is charged that Root has ex-
ertel an undue influence over Henry
w. Dixon, and has secured nearly
ali of the latter's fortune. A portion,
amounting to $4,000 i'll two certif-
Gates of deposit, is now in the vaults
of the Central Safety Deposit Com
pany Of this city, where it was placed
a year ago by Henry w. Dixon and
! Henry a. Root. Since then, it Is
said, Root has attempted to gain
possession Of the money, but the
Safety Deposit Company refused to
give it up. holding that the agree
ment wnen it WAS received was that
the box should only he opened in the
presence of both Root and Dixon. hl

for the use OF shipWrecK sailors, the
existence Of which was known to
Momsan, and he found by sending
thirty men across the island to the
cache there would he sufficient pro-
vision on board the two ships to last
the remainder till the ice broke up III
the following July.
"voluntcers were called for, and
thirty were selected from among the
crews of both vessels to cross the
islands in sledges to the cache, which
they expected to reach in thirty days.
The men left, and in few days at
forwards MomSan and his fcllow-cap-
tain got clear, owing to the unexpcct-
ed breaking up of the ice. They
Immediately set sail for Norway
knowing that the cache contained
sufficient provision to keep the thirty
men who were left behind alive until
the following summer. In the en-
suining July a rescue expedition was
sent out from Norway in charge OF
Capt. Momsan, and, having arrived at
the bav near which the cache was sit
uated, they fired Il gun, but got no
response from the shore.
Capt Momsan says that he went
ashore with Il sinking heart, for he
feared the worst, and the result prov
ell that he was right, for on enterin g
the hut built over the cache he found
himself in the presence of thirty dead
bodies. The leader of the expedition
sat at the table dead, with his open
diary before him, written up to with

in it unexplained that the men sui
fcred such hardship in crossing tho
Spitzbergin that they ate ravcnously
when they reached the cache.
"In that climate, he said, it was
absolutely necessary that exercise
should be taken in the open air for q
certain number of hours every day
but he had been powerlcss to cnforct
discipline among them, and the result
was that one after another sickcneo
and died. One man was actually
found dead in his bunk with parce
of loaf sugar grasped in his frozen
hand. The relief party could o moth
ing but bury the dead, and so hard
was the ground frozen on the island
that dynamite had to be used to hol-
low out the graves. Capt. MomSal
