way home to dinner yesterday when his at

woman struggling in the water. almost ex-

feet deep. and Hollings soon had the drip

gave the name of Mary Reagan. and said
that she had thrown herBelf from the
bridge with the intention of seeking
watery grave below, but found that the
channel was not deep enough to drown her.
She evinced disposition to try the expert

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1893-01-26

AN effort was made last week by The
Madison Times to make General Bragg
responsible for The Sentinel exposures
regarding the land deals of Col. Knight.
The editoria statement of The Sentinel.
that neither General Bragg or Col Mitch
ell was responsible for the publication,
should efectually settle all cavil on this
point. The facts regarding the matter so
far as they come within the knowledge of
the editor of this paper, are as follows:
After his return from Florida the accu-
mulated mail matter was sorted out. and
what appeared as business letters were
read and answered as time permitted
Several letters were not looked over for
some days and among them one stating
that facts duplicating Col. Knight in
questionable deals while In the land office
would be furnished The Pilot if it agreed
to publish them. The gentleman max
ing the offer was not personally known
to the editor, though we'll known by
reputation, and this was such that his re-
LIABILITY was not to be questioned. Gen
eral Bragg was at once notified of the
proffer and promptly objected.
The Pilots correspondent was so noti-
fed and in answer thereto, stated that not
having received any response to his first
letter he had attributed the silence to the
editors continued absence and had aban
doned the matter, but that another party
had forwarded the facts to The Oshkosh
Times.
The material from which the charges
that Bragg inspired the exposure were
gathered, 1t is not difficult for the writer
to discover. The Sentinel reporter who
visited Ashland, made the investigation
and wrote the report, and the editor OF
The Pilot were In conversation in the
capitol lobby with a number of reporters
standing near. The former remarked that
he learned while up north that The Pilot
could have had what The Sentinel pro-
cured and asked il it was so. Substan-
TALLY what is here stated was given in
reply without any attempt being made to
prevent others from hearing what might
be caught from a conversational tone.
At another time while reading The Sen
tlnel article the statement was made by
the editor to those standing near: The
Oshkosh Times might have had a scoop in
this matter if it chose" These remarks
were no doubt the bases of the charges.
The dispatch from Manitowoc to the
Madison paper was wholly manufactur.
ed in that Office as no such dispatch was
sent from this city.
HE animus of the Madison Times is
quite as apparent as the source of its in
formation. 1t was a scheme coucocted
to injure General Bragg, the suggestion
for the plot coming from knowledge of
the fact that two papers favorable to his
candidacy bad had opportunity to
publish, substantially, what The Senti-
mel afterwards gave through its columns.

THE visit of E. G. Wall to New, Y ork has
revived the rumors relative to his being
offered place in the Presidents cabinet.
There is no man in the country his super
ior in executive ability ID any position
equal to that so far filed by Mr. Wall.
As collector of internal revenue Mr.. Wall
was model officer and the test by which
he judged his suhordInates was good SER
vice. He recognized no friendship in the
discharge Of duty and was real Brutus
IN his demands for official integrity and
efficiency. As chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee his work is sufficiently
appreciated by friend and foe. If he can
carry with HIM to the cabinet the quail
ties he has thus far exhibited he will
prove an ideal cabinet officer
MIR. Wall in giving attention to politics
has sacrificed his individual interests and
1t is doubtful whether even cabinet
position would have attraction for him.
Should it be otherwise, there is not a
democrat In the state who would not feel
highly pleased over his selection.

SENATOR Masks position on the sena-
torial question was not wholly under
stood at first. He felt that he had good
reasons OF a public nature for not sup
porting Gen. Bragg and thought he was
entitled to act his own convictions, trust
ing that his explanations would be salts
factory to his constituents. HIS habits
of retirement dId not permit him to prop
erly gage the sentiment IN favor OF Bragg
and while in this frame Of mind announc-
ed his purpose TO support Knight. When
he learned how strong the sentiment was
for Bragg he readily consented to support
him when Knights forces broke, but was
bound by his word to remain by that
gentleman until bis vote could secure
Bragg's nomination.

JUSTICE LAMAR of the supreme court
died at Macon, Ga, on Monday night.
he had been Ill for some time but had not
reached the age when he might retire from
the bench on pension, and was too poor
to resign. Lamar was not celebrated as
a lawyer when he was appointed on the
supreme bench, but as a member OF con-
gress, {. S. senator, and cabinet officer he
evinced a judicial temperament which
toreshadowed his qualities as a jurist.
Lamar was a scholarly man, with a
sense of justice strongly implanted in his
nature. 1t was generally supposed he
was too much of student to be man Of
action, but when the occasion came he
always showed that this opinion of him
was erroneous. His address on the death
of Charles Sumner electrified the country
by It's breadth OF view. 1t was the first
great wrench which sectional prejudice
received after the close oe the war, and
Eas the dawn of reconciliation. Lamar
always broke away from petty things, and
when the dreamer became man of action
he was an inspired leader.

TIE assembly OF Wisconsin by quite a
decided majority passed a resolution IA
yoring lie passage Of the antl-option
bill now pending IN congress. This &C
ton is regarded as little peculiar owing
10 the stand taken by Senator Villas in
opposition to the bill. The fact that
dealing in options is simply species of
gambling and deranges the market
makes it dlstasteful to the farming COM
munity. The large trade centers are
very much opposed TO the bill.
