Mr. Sommerville claims that
Mr. Kidd went to the President and made
q speech in his behalf. but Mr. Kidd has
written n letter TO the President urging the
claims Of General Watts. This Will not
have much effect upon the situation except
that it will be slight stumbling block In
the way of MIR. Kidd for preferment in this
state This is unfortunate from the fact
mat Mr.. Kidd has been one Of the politl-
clans Of the State that a large number OF
people have voted for on several occasions
for positions Of prominence and many OF
them have honestly wished that the time
would come when his merits would DO

New York, April THE following
call has been issued by the executive
officers Of the National Federation OF
America:
THE crisis in the home rule question
now confronts Us. Mr.. Gladstone has
faithfully redeemed Eis pledges. Shall
we keep ours? Without the continuous
attendance Of the Irish members in the
House Of Commons Mr.. Gladstone can
not win.
Gas members of Parliament receive
no salary the majority Of the Irish
members are not in a financial condi-
ton to give this necessaSy attendance.
We must meet this difficulty or the
cause is lost. Through its magnificent
meeting at the Academy of Music New
York has already spoken. II now re-
mains for you, friends Of Ireland. to re-

ShephsrdStoCH Register.
We think it advisable for the Senators
and Congressman from West Virginia 10
90 10 some pains TO ascertain something OF
the public sentiment in West Virginia con-
corning the disposition Of the offices. They
should get this information from the peo-
ple-not from the Office seekers. The othce
seekers are all in some political comolna-
ton that prevents them from giving IN
biased information. and what they would
have 70 say would be cOlOred by the enect
upon their own prospects.
Take Just one instance. There is q
ground swell OF indignation against the in
dorsement Of Mr.. Jos. ). Miller for Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue that Sena-
tors nor Congressman nor any one else can
afford TO ignore. As the Parkersburg SEN
tnei saws, Mr.. Miller is a political drone.
He is never heard from except when the
offices arc being distributed. be has
been at the public eric ever since he was OF
age, always holding fat job. What has
he ever done for his party! Where has he
been during the past four wears! His voice
was not heard In West Virginia until the
fight was over and the prizes ready 70 DC
given out. Now he receives the unanimous
endorsement Of the West Virginia Geiega-
lion in Congress. AS we understand the

10 appoint MIR. Miller 70 ais old place. At
once our Senators and Congressman en-
dorsed him. Instead Of naming West Vir-
ginia's wants, they allowed the President
20 dictate the candidate.
If Mr.. Cleveland wished to appoint Mr..
Miller, he should have been required to do
so upon his own responsibility. The en-
dOrsement OF Mr.. Miller by the party lead
ers is intensely distatetul 10 the Democrats
OF the State. They are kicking hard-and
so they should. There's precious little en-
couraCement in working for the party
when the rewards are reserved for the do
nothings. Mr.. Miller is doubtless man OF
ability, but his fitness for the Office is not
so great tnat he should he chosen above
every other man in the party. We have
plenty Of men in the State who can fill the
pOsitiOn quite as well as he can.

bent to his work, glancing now and
again over his shoulder at the precious
prize he had determined to win--or die
in losing.
TO us, who, hardly daring to speak
or breathe, watched the fearful ven
ture, its success appeared well-nigh i'm
possible The child could, perhaps, be
snatched from the boat before reach
ing the rapids, But what then?
Neither he nor his rescuer, we felt con.
vinced, could ever regain the shore.
The poor women, Lyons wife and
Jimmy's mother, sobbed pitifully as we
all hurried down the edge of the river
so as to keep abreast of the skiff. None
of us dared to encourage them by a
hopeful word, for not one of us believed
that either would ever again be clasped
in the arms of husband or son.
The tiny scow was now quite six
hundred yards from snore, and, with
gradually accelerated motion, was
drawing frightfully near the rapids
But the pursuing boat went four feet
to its one and was swiftly closing the
gap between them. The innocent babe
had at last become alarmed, and as
Lyons drew near he stretched his
little arms imploringly toward him, a
sight which drove the women nearly
frantic and caused tears to roll down
more than one manly check.
"Oh, hush! hush! not word nor
cheer yet" some one said, in chok-
ing whisper, as the two boats came to-
gether. The fight is still to win!"
AS he ranged alongside Lyons pulled
in one oar, leaned over the gunwale,
caught up the child and lifted him into
his own boat. TOO late! Oh, too
late!" shrieked his agonized wife. And,
indeed, it so seemed to each one of us.
BaC then the noble fellow, cool as if
! there was no danger within a thousand
miles, reshipped his oar and did the
only thing which could offer a possible
chance for life. He did not vainly at
tempt to stem the current by rowing
upstream, nor even directly tow ard the
shore, but turned his bow quartering
down, and, pulling with nerves OF
/ steel and giant strength, shot with ar
rowy speed diagonally athwart the riv-
er's course, and in less than five min.
utes, landed safely at the head of the
channel running between Streets
i island and the mainland!
Then-but why go on? No language,
much less my poor pen, can adequately
describe the scene which followed.
This incident is a matter of history,
presume, but l may inform those who
now read of it for the first time, that
the Royal Humane society of England
soon after sent to Mr.. Lyons its gold
medal, in recognition of his daring
deed-how daring no one unacquainteG
with its scene can realize.-Romance.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1893-01-05
I wealth., all the united powers of the

wealth, all the united powers Of the
world, cannot save him!
The boat was almost in the exact
center of the river. Those of us who
had field glasses could see that a group
much larger than our own had congre.
gated on the American shore to witness
the final catastrophe.
1t was not long delayed. In less
than a minute after the poor man had
become aware of his situation, he took
off his hat, waved it frantically toward
either bank, and an instant later was
gone! Nor did any part of the boat
again appear.
On certain summer day, a young
woman, half-crazed by terror, rushed
along the lower street of Chippewa,
screaming: "Oh, help! help! help! My
little Jimmy's away out on the big
river, and he'll go over the falls"
Instead of jumping at once for boats,
mum Der of men, as if doubling Mrs,
Armstrong; word, ran down to where
view of the Niagara could be OBJ
tanned, and there, afoat on it's surface
in an old boat, saw Jimmy, apparently
enjoying his ride, but being gradually
carried outward and down stream.
1t seems that the little, five-year-old
fellow had been playing in "a small
scow, the bow of which rested lightly on
the beach, and had rocked il free of its
hold, to his great delight, and floated
serenely away.
n~ l.. ~ -.
about two hundred and fifty yards
above its junction with the Niagara,
stood the house and shop of Joel Lyons,
stout, muscular shoe maker and n
practiced oarsman. On hearing the
alarm given, this man wasted no time in
idle ordinations, but ran at once to
where several boats were moored fur
Their up stream. Selecting one already
provided with souls, he sprang into it
and was away at full speed before most
of the onlookers had collected their
senses.
Now there are two entrances and eX-
its to and from the Welland; one,
known as "The Cut" being on the up
per or west side of an isolated bluff,
called Hog island, and the other-the
original chameleon the lower or east
side.
1t was from out this last named pas
sage that the child had hoated. and,
consequently, he was much nearer the
falls than if he had emerged into the
Niagara from the Cut.
Lyons, of course, took the east chan
mel hut he had uuita four hundred
yards of slack water to row over be-
fore striking the larger river, and when
he reached it the little scow with its
precious freight was at least that dis
lance from shore and much closer TO
the rapids than even the boldest oars
man would ordinarily dare to go.
More and more earnestly, without a
break or skip, and with never-relax-
ing strength, the experienced sculler

to a single whimper. BY that time the
older bear had torn through the wood
to the honey, and when she had eaten
lot of it she backed down with paw
full of honey for her young ones. The
cubs gobbled it greedily, and the old
bear soon climbed up and fetched down
another pawful, which they ate quick
ly. All of a sudden the old bear started
the cubs off in front of her, and in
moment the bear family was out of

Notwithstanding the dangerous prox-
Unity of the falls, people are contin-
,ually crossing and recrossing the river
here, between the American and Cana
dian shores.
Great caution is generally exercised
by boatmen, and the loss of life on this
stretch of water is less than on any
body of equal width-constantly
traveesed by small open boats-that |
know of. Deplorable fatalities have
occurred from time to time, but these
have always been the result of ig-
norance or gross carelessncss.
Two cases of this kind have come
under my own observation and ! was
unhappy enough TO see the victims
drawn down TO the first leap of the
rapids, after which not trace of any
one of them was ever seen.
One of the instances was that of
farmer, who drove his horses and
wagon into the edge of the river, at
shoal-place about a mile above Chippe-
wa, to let the animals drink-that par
ticular spot being the only one for
many miles which was adapted to the
purpose.
The man, though perfectly familiar
with the locality, carelessly drove in
too far, and, upon attempting to turn
about, one of the reins caught under
the neck-yolxe, the horses floundered
into the deep water, the heavy run
ming gear sank, dragged the poor
brutes down and drowned them, while
the light pine wagon-box floated off
with the man!
The unfortunate fellow was known
to be good swimmer, and if he had
instantly jumped out and made for
shore. all would have been well. But
he was frightened out of his wits and
did nothing but scream for help. Now
comes the strangest part of the story.
The accident was witnessed by another
farmer, blowing in a field close at
hand AS he well knew, there was not
a boat of any kind nearer than Chippe-
wa, and yet, instead of springing on
one of his horses and riding for life, he
actually walked down along the bank,
keeping abreast of and talking
to his imperiled neighbor and cheer
ing him by the assurance that he
would get a boat and take him off
when he should come in front of the
villagel
Gradually-for such is the trend of
the current there-as the box hoated
downstream, it was borne further and
further from land. and when it did az
rive opposite the mouth of the We'll
land river was fully four hundred
yards out.
Only then did the sympathizing
friend rush into the village and give
the alarm.
The second person whom l saw thus
done to death was one of party of
duck hunters, who had been shooting
in the weedy passage between Grand
and Buckhorn islands. In spite of his
companions advice to the contrary,
this man determined to remain out all
night, in the hope of making good
bag in the early morning.
The last thing his comrades saw of
him-so they told us-he had drawn
the bow of his boat little way up on
a sandbar at the lower end of Buck
horn island, and laid himself down to
sleep in her.
1t is supposed that, while he slept,
change of wind caused the water to
rise sufficiently to sch the boat free-a
moderate downstream breeze would
