The Senator frnn West Virginia Finally
Sucenmbs ia "a Long Illness.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Senator John
E. Kenna, of West Virginia, died about
o'clock a. m. of heart disease, from
which he had suffered for some years
Two summers ago, with a view Of
diverting his mind from his physical
ailments, he established an amateur
boat builders shop and busted himself
in the mechanical operation Of con-
structing boat. He partially recovered
and resumed his seat in the senate and
made one memorable speech, which
was remarkable both for its length and
its vigor. He soon suffered relapse,
however, from which he never recov-
cred. His snfferings during the past
few months of his life from heart
spasms were so poignant that to himself
as well as his family death must have
been looked upon as almost welcome.
MIR. Kenna was 45 years of age-one of
the youngest men in the senate.

another leading feature in American
bistory-almost as notable, and even
more picturesque-was about TO be re-
moved. An hour or two later, when
the shock OF this unexpected occurrence
was ended, the news that death had
ended the sufferings of the West Vir-
ginia senator, Mr.. Kenna, it was felt
that the night had been fruitful of inn
portant events. v
How Ii Happened.
General Butler retired at IL o'clock
and soon after midnight his colcred
body servant, West, who has accom-
panied him on all his journeys for the
past ten or fifteen years, who slept in
an adjoining room, heard him coughing
violently. He went into the generals
bedroom to see if he could be of any
assistance, but found that the general
had passed on TO the bath room adioin-
ing. Thither West followed and offered
his assistance. The general mentioned
that his expectoration had been discol-
ored with blood. He did not appear to
think seriously of the matter, however.
and after his valet had assisted him to
his bed he said: That's all, West.
You need not do anything more" ant.
apparently went to sleep.
He had lain on his bed but few
moments, however, when his heavy
breathing again caused alarm. Mr..
Lanier Dunn, his nephew by marriage,
who resided in the same house, started
out in search Of medical assistance. 1t
was fully fifteen minutes before he
could secure aid.
The end was apparently painless, and,
according to the doctors certificate, was
brought about by heart disease, super
induced by an acute attack of pneu-
monia. kilograms announcing General
Buffers death were sent to his surviving
children.

EIGHT RESPITED

Wholesale Hanging of Negroes In Mary
BALTIMORE, Jan. IA special to
The News from Chestertown, Md, says
that four of the eight negroes under
sentence to be hanged on Friday have
been respited. AS soon as the report
became current the lynching spirit,
which had been so manifest but held in
check by the belief that Governor
Brown would not interpose, asserted it
self and it is stated that there will be
trouble before long. Governor Brown
is in Baltimore but he declined an inter
view until later in the day.
1t is reported that Captain Cadwalla-
der and number of policemen left here
on the ice boat Latrobe for Chestertown
to bring back the respited murderers.

At las p. III. the ice-boat Latrobe ar
rived at her dock from Chestertown

had been commuted by Governor Brown
to life imprisonment. The governor then

capped Death.

DENVER, Jan. 12.-An order reached
this city late in the night for twenty
seven coffins from Como, Colo, on the
Denver and South Park division of the
Union Pacific.
The Union Pacific owns and operates
coal mines at King. Colo. four miles
from Como, where they employ 2UO min
ers. Monday afternoon premature ex-
plosion occurred in one of the cham bers
where twenty-five miners were at work.
A terrific explosion Immediately follow
ing, or as miners call it, "dust explo-
sion. The shock killed twenty-seven of
the men, only one escaping, he being
near the entrance. The bodies were not
recovered until midnight, and on ac-
count of their blackened condition, only
eleven of them were recognizable. Half
dozen others are missing and may be
in the mine. Very little damage was
done to the mine, but it will be kept
closed until the state inspector arrives.
Only Tw@nty-four Victims.
1t Is now learned that only twenty
four workmen, instead of twenty-seven,
as previously reported, lost their lives
in the accident in the Union Pacific coal
mine. The accident was caused by what
miners call windy shot," that is the
charge Of powder had been insufficiently
tamped. The result was the instant ex-
plosion of the gas in the chamber of the
mine where the men were working. The
conclusion set free and circulated the
black damp, and the almost instant
death of the twenty-four men followed.
Of the twenty-four victims of the disas-
ter. twenty-one were Italians, one q
Scotchman, and two Americans. About
eight of them were married men.
Twenty-Five men were at work in the
chamber, but one of them escaped death.

one Fish man here that [ have heard
of yet. He used to say in his paper
that Mr.. Donnelly was loyal to the
alliance; time and again he has said
Mr.. D. was the right man for the peo-
pies party to have for governor. But
now how changed he is. 1t seems
that he cannot say anything bad
enough against Mr.. Donnelly. Who
pays him for all this slang against
the President of the State Farmers
Alliance? Surely it is not the peo-
pies party. Mr.. Donnelly would be
our present governor, we think, had
it not been for him we call black

Fusion! FusiOn!! FusiOn!!!

The Rainmaker has been shouting
''Fusion" so loudly that many peo-
pie have the idea that a great crime
was, during the last election, con-
summated by the officers of the peo-
pies party. But just reflect for a mo-
ment. Fusion and endorsement are
two different things. The populist
convention was the first to meet and
placed on their ticket two names,
Messers. Buck and CAVITY, for Su-
preme Judges of the state. After
wards they were placed on the dem
ocratic ticket. There was no trade or
bargain. Did that cause their defeat.
Did the help which Mr.. Boon received
from outside the populist fold cause
his defeat? This howl of fusion as
the cause Of all our woes in the state
election is absurd. Then as to the
four electors, upon whose heads the
wrath of the Rai1maker especially
falls, what possible influence could
they have hah on the issues of the
election in the state? They belonged
to the presidential part of the ticket,
and it Simply happened that, after
the Australian method of printing
the ticket, the two parts were found
on 6ne slip of paper. A little ref1ec-
t5on will show the absurdity of all
this cry Of Fusion. But some pretext
for the defeat had to be devised, and
that served the purpose of drawing
the attention of the unreflecting peo-
pie away from the real cause. 1t is
amazing that the Rainmaker, confess
sing that it was simply endorsement,
,(see the Hodges letter. should keep
up the howl of Fusion! Fusion I"
He has purpose in keeping it up un-
til the end Of the chapter.

l see that Cleveland is going to re-
store prosperity to the country by
getting the Sherman act repealed.
The country is suffering on account of
the scarcity of money and our presi-
dent is going to cure it by shortening
the supply. l want to ask my BROTH
er producers what they would do if
there was a bill introduced in con-
gress which read as follows: Be it en-
acted by the congress of the United
States, that all the producers of the
United States shall hereafter con-
tribute from one-fourth to one-half
of all they produce toward the sup
port of the men who own money.
Would we not do all in our power to
defeat it? OF course we would.
That will happen by demonetizing
silver.
But they say there is plenty of
money in the country-all we need to
do is to restore confidence; that men
who own the money have got scared
and put their money away in old
stockings, etc., and we want to induce
them to bring it out.
Now, suppose this were true. Is it
not nice system that inflicts suffer-
ing upon the great majority because
few men get scared,
It would be nice for us farmers if
all the harvesting machinery in the
state was owned or controlled by
few men and about harvest time
they got scared and wouldn't loan any
of their machines to do our harvest
ing with. Would we not be the big
gest fools in the world to permit such
a state of affairs to last long, espe-
cially when we had the remedy in
our own hands.
That is just what we are doing to-day
by permitting the present financial
system to last as long as it has.
And what a heartless set the gold
men are. In their avarice and greed
they are willing to bring any suffer
ing upon the people. They say the
mine owners are the only ones who
will suffer by the repeal Of the Sher-
man act. / lived in one of the silver
states about nine years, and I know
whereof | speak when say the props
perity of the whole people of those
states is dependent upon these mines
just as much as the prosperity of
the people Of this state and of the
two Dakotas is dependent upon the
wheat crop. How would our St. Paul
dailies regard the cry that only the
elevator men are injured by a failure
of the wheat crop? There would be
just as much sense in it as there is
in the cry that the mine owners are
the only men who will suffer by the
repeal of the Sherman act.

This table, if carefully studied,
will demonstrate the wonderful in
crease in the value of dollars, and
how that increase has affected the
farmer, who must produce all these
different articles with which salaries
and all other expenses are paid.
The third column shows how many
more of the different products it
took to pay the presidents salary
last year than it did to pay the i'm
mortal Lincoln's.
From these figures it will be seen
that, had the presidents salary been
paid last year in these different ar
ticles, at the average prices in the
New York market for 1892, and had
he sold them at the prices which
Lincoln was compelled to pay, his
salary would have amounted to, not
$4,000, but if paid in cotton, to
$685., OOO.13; if paid in rice, to $2l7,-
1913; if in wheat, to 1851 1920; if in
raw sugar. to $144, 233 %; and if paid
in the much talked-of-wool it would
have been the smallest salary he
could have received; in other words,
wool has deprecated less than any
of the other twelve commodities.
This alarming illustration is not
only true as to the presidents sal
airy, but holds equally true of that
of every other government official,
and the payment of every debt re-
corded against every home in the
United States; and the time has
come when the labOrers and farmers
must band themselves together to
demand equal and exact justice for
all before the law.
