e. Carlisle VINO said, in discussing
the silver bill:
1.-The struggle noS going GA can
not cease, and ought no; 70 ccas..
until all industrial, interests Of the
country are fully aud finally cman-
cipatcd from the heartlcss douiina-
ton of syhdicates, stock exchanges
and other great combinations of
money grabbcrs in this country and
in Europe Let us if We can 10 bet
ter, pass bill after bill, embodying
in each some one substantial pro-
vision for relief, aud send them to
tie executive for his approval. If
he with-holdS his signature, aud We
are unable to secure the necessary
vote here or elsewhere, to enact
them into laws, Notwithstanding
his veto, let us, as IA last resort, sus-
pend the rules and put them into
the general appropriation bills, with
the distinct understanding that if
the people can get no relief the
government can get no money"
The man who believed, as Carlisle
then believed, and who still adhercs
to that belief is cracked Drained
"Populist.' Carlisle has taken the
cue from Hoke Smiths parrot and
he too sings out, now ''let the sill
yer men howl lie goes further:
he nulIilies the Sherman law by re-
fusing to buy 100000 ounces of
silver per month, as the law directs.
He ought to be impeachcd, and the
fools who speak of the Peoples par
ty leaders as anarchists ought to be
placarded as long cared asses.

a narrowing report comes from
Washington that deputy Auditor
Sanderlin is about to resign. He
got into reminiscent mood, it
seems, on the 4th of July, and
rather boastfully claimed to be the
cock-robbin who shot Gen. Phil
kearney in the unmentionable part
of his anatomy, at Chantilly. The
q. A. Il. men are after him with a
hot poker. As deputy Auditor he
adjudlcates pension claims, and the
G A. Il. people swear that his auto
graph shall not desecrate their pen
sion certificates, The Truth is, one
hundred men can be found who will
swear that they shot kearney,, when
he made his dash for liberty, and
unless Sanderlin avails himself ofthis
loophole Of escape, he stands good
show for grand bounce" Some
men are wise only when they are
muzzled.

NEWS AND COM MEST.

Dear reader, did it eve: occur to
you why the Wilmington 4 Weldon
Railroad Messenger is bounding down
such Democrats us Alexander and
Broughton with even more dogged
persistence and venom than any one
outside of the party: 1t is
afraid that if it does not drive these
men out of the Democratic party,
that the people will Learn
that they are better Democrats than
the editor of the Messenger, Tom
Jarvis, Matt Ransom, and men o that
kidney. Alexander and Broughton
believe IN using the railroads of the
country in the interest of the people,
instead of bleeding the people for the
benefit of few imported individuals.
The Mes -enger is railroad organ,
and the railroads are trying to lay
down faith and creed that Demo-
crat must believe. This is very nee
essary, because the railroads have
decided to use the Democratic party
as tool to further their own greedy
and selfish purpose. The ear of the
ass sticks out of the lion skin very
plainly.

A prominent Democrat after read
ing Senator Nance's letter said:
"Vance is right, but | am afraid his
letter will hurt the Democratic par
ty." If it will hurt the Democratic
party for a Statesman, who has been
put on the watch tower by the peo-
pie, to preach the gospel of pure
Democracy and to give the alarm
when the enemy approaches (even
though that enemy wears the same
labcD then what is the matter with
the party: The people know and
they will soon answer at the ballot
box.

WHY FlNDLAY WAS REJECTED.
He and German are Old-Time and Very
Bitter Enemies.


WASHINGTON. Feb 25.-Ex-Representa-
tive John V. L. Findlay. of Maryland, has
recently been rejected'by the senate as the
presidents appointe for an Office and it is
said that his rejection was secured by Sen
ator German on personal grounds. 1t
seems that during the campaign of 1885 in
Maryland Findlay was bitter opponent
of German and went so far as to say ''the
only good German is a dead German. 4"
Findlay was charged with irhiting to as
sasination for saying this, but he kept ND
his attacks on German denouncing him as
a political trickster and in various other
ways.
Declined to support Reconstruction.
FiDdlay says that during Johnson's ad
ministration he declined to support recon-
struction, and for that reason was rejected
when nominated for internal revenue col.

time the reason given for the confirmation
was that he was a Republican. do no,
know whether he was or not 1t is a
mighty difficult matter to find out wha,
Germans politics are. German secured
the rejection by making a coalition with
the anti-Harrison Republicans, principally
Pettigrew. Cameron, Stewart, Wolcott
and a few others"

Queen Liliuokalani's Case.
The correspondent of the New York
World alleges that he has got hold of the
exact terms of the precis filed with the
state department by Paul Neuman, Queen
Liliuokalani's envoy. The pith of it, as al
legged, is that the natives want more to say
in their own government, and that no one
but those born on the islands shall vote,
except such otLers as have that right bv
the constitution of 1887; that the only rea-
son the natives su omitted to the auneXers
was that they believed the United States
government to be behind the movement;
that the annexers had the assurance of Ste
vens in advance that he would espouse
their cause.
Why n Protectorate Was Declared.
Neuman also says that the state of things
on the islands is only possible because of
the armed force of United States marines
th.re and the guns of the American war
ships, and that without the same the
"usurpation" would not have lasted an
hour; that the anneXers armed large
body of the law)ess. criminal, and foreign
element to help them carry their point, and
later found that force showing a mutinous
spirit, and for that reason were forced to
disband it and cali upon the American
minister to declare protectorate. The

tempted last night to wreck the Chicago
and Erie express train at Sixteenth street
Thirty lives were thus placed in jeopardy.
Fortunately the train was moving slowly,
and only the front trucks of the engine left
the track. Some of the passengers were
thrown from their seats, and all were more
or less frightened. Word had been passed
through the train that strike, was on in
the yards, and many of the passengers left
the cars and came into the city on cable
trains. About thirty passengers remained
on the train, many of them being women
and children. The train was pushing along
through the yards at slow rate of speed
and had reached the Airline crossing at
Sixteenth and Clark streets. when a man
threw a switch open in front of the engine
The Engineer Acted Promptly.
The engineer was looking out of the cab
window in expectation of an attempt to
wreck the train and he saw the movement.
He Immediately applied the air brakes
and stopped the train, but not before the
locomotive had been thrown from the rails.
If the train had been proceeding at its or
binary rate of speed great damage would
have resulted. and some of the passengers
would undoubtedly have been injured.
Women with children in their arms were
standing in the aisle when the train sud
denly came to a standstill. The were
thrown across seats, but so far as learned
no one was injured.
Tried II On Wabash Train.
Another attempt was made at 10 o'clock
at the same crossing to throw Wabash
train from the tracks. A crew was max
ing up the train that leaves Chicago at
1880 O'Clock, when a man, supposed to be a
striker, threw switch, derailing two
passenger coaches There was no one in
the cars, After an hours work the coaches
were placed back on the tracks. Some
of the strikers have begun to assault the
men who took their places. Several of the
new crossing msn were struck last night
with bricks, chunks of coal and coupling
pins.
One Man Seriously Hurt.
J. W. Osborn, an old man who went to
work last evening at the Sixteenth cross
ing, was seriously wounded by being struck
with various kinds of missiles. A brick
was hurled at him from an outgoing pas
senger train, and it struck him in the head,
knocking him down. The old man pluck
lily stuck to his post, however, and refused
to be intimidated. Half an hour after the
first assault he was again knocked down
by a coupling pin thrown by man on a
freight train.
