A STRANGE CAREER.
Wonderful Deeds of General Frederick 7.
Ward In China.
Especial Correspondence

SELKIRK, Manitoba, Feb. 2s.-A hotel kept
here by an American named Forester, who
recently died, has been patronized by hun
dreds who never dreamed of their host an
tecedents Colonel James Forester, for
he was a colonel in the Chinese army 30
years ago, was one of the most trusted Off
GERS of that wonderful man, General Fred
erick Ward, who did as much as "Chinese"
Gordon, afterward Gordon Pasha Of Egyp-
tan fame, in the early sixties to crush the
Tai-Ping rebellion and save China from ut
ter anarchy. After Wards death from a
wound Forester took command of the
''ever victorious army" as the Chinese
called Wards force, and was finally super
seeded by Gordon. Forester was gallant
officer, but was unable to fill Wards shoes,
and his death recalls Wards striking ex-
ploits.
Frederick Townsend Ward. hailing from
Salem, Mass, was sailor bred and found
himself stranded at Shanghai in 1860. The
bold idea entered Wards head to fight for
the Chinese government as a free lance,
and with the help of a speculative manda-
rim he recruited small corps of despera-
does and made contract with the viceroy
of the province to capture cities from the
ai-Pings at $751; 600 apiece and the proceeds
of the looting. He was successful almost
from the start and gradually augmented
his command to well disciplined, well
armed and dashing detachment. Though
he began on much the same footing as one
of the great free companion leaders of the
middle ages, who were wont to sell theiI
bands to the highest bidder, he was after
the first year fully recognized by the Pc
king authorities. He captured city after
city, inflicted repeated defeats on the rebels,
who had up to his advent been terrible
menace to the imperial dynasty, and did
more to check the Tai-Pings in two years
than had before been achieved in ten.
Up to the time of Wards springing into
the arena the English and French had held
a neutral position as between the rebels
and the imperialists, trading freely with
the Tai-Pings, and even carrying on wal
part of the time with the Picking govern
ment. Wards brilliant success forced the
hands Of the foreign powers and compelled
them to cooperate with their military and
naval forces in suppressing the Heavenly
King" as the Tai-Ping ruler was dubbed
whose hordes of bandits were quitting the

JUST LIKE MR.. EsrEE.

The Democratic State platform formu-
lated q pledge to be taken by all the
Democratic candidates for Congress, as
follows;
If elected to Congress viii oppose any at
tempt, and vote against the Dill. 10 extend the
time for the payment to the Government OF
the Pacific Railroad debts, and l VIII 1aVor
and vote for a measure TO foreclose al InaLor-
ity the lien of the Government on these roads,
and make them bid in by the Government
and maintained as national highways for the
benefit and in the interest OF the people.
Mr.. Estee declared in the platform he
made for and by himself that he was op-
posed to the passage of any funding bill
and that the people ought to own the
road, the construction of which had been
aided by the public.
The Democratic platform contemplates
the foreclosure Of the Government lien,
but ignores the existence Of first mort
gage lien on the road for which bonds in
the sum of $50, 100000 are out These
bonds are first mortgage and take the
road. The second lien of the Govern
ment rests upon the value of the equity
OF redemption only. We have hereto
fore pointed out that between the Gov
ernment and the foreclosure of its lien
stands this first mortgage.
None of the parties now before the
public have recognized this irrefragible
truth. All have declared in favor of fore
closing the Governments lien and taking
possession of the roads, either through
ignorance of the facts or through pur-
poseful concealment of them. Both Mr..
Budd and Mr.. Estee are now before the
public making professions against the
passage of any funding bill extending the
time of payment of the debt due to the
Government. VIII Mr.. Estee or Mr..
Budd, or either or both, explain if they
are in favor of paying off the first mort
gage, amounting to S60,000.000, with coin
from the Treasury, or the retirement of
first mortgage bonds by the substitution
of other first mortgage bonds issued by
the Government and guaranteed by it?
Until these gentlemen who are before the
people as candidates for Governor ex-
plain their position on this subject, they
will have none whatever.
The Democratic party has practically
said nothing, and Mr.. Estee has said as
little or less, when thsy have professed to
be in favor of the foreclosure of the Gov
ernment lien. The statement is devoid of
meaning. It does not reach far enough.
To be in favor of the foreclosure of the
Government lien means to have the Gov
ernment redeem the first mortgage
bonds. because that proceeding is abso-
solutely indispensable to the foreclosure
of the Governments second lien. Viii
the gentlemen arise and explain, or will
they incur the charge of purpOseful de-
ception by silence?

For San Francisco 660, Eureka 60o, Red

As compared with the normal temper
aturss. there is an excess at san Francisco
of 80, Eureka A., Red Bluff 81, Saera-
mento =, Fresno g., Los angeles A. and
San Diego 10.
The excessive heat throughout the
State has rapidly ripened all summer
crops and greatly assisted in the rapid
drying of the fruits and the picking OF the
hop crop, both of which are large and OF
good quality.
1t has also been the cause of unusual
atmospheric phenomena in the southern
part OF the State, in the shape OF a severe
electric storm at Los Angeles on the 10Th,
which gave considerable rain farther IN
the interior.
An electric storm in that part of the
State is rather remarkable, but as this
has been an unusually cool summer up
to this week, that phenomenal atmos-
pheric activity Is not to be greatly Won
dered at.

VIXEN the Bishop of Columbus ruled
that no liquor dealer in his diocese
should be an officer of Catholic societies.
he voiced the rising condemnation in
which the traffic in intoxicating liquor is
hereafter to be held. The Bishop had
probably known of industrious. yirtuous
and frugal wives whose husbands kept
drunk on the pitiful wages they were
able to earn at washing. The Bishop has
probably Deen witness of instances
where benevolence and charity have
handed TO starving wife for the benefit
of her children money wrung from her
hands by the drunken brute of her hus-
band TO be expended in the nearest rum
mill. Wnen the Bishop realized that the
rum seller, who took the bread from the
mouths of the wives and children of
drunkards, aspired to be an officer in
religious society, he saw that there was
an incongruity between their daily call
ing and their Christian professions. The
Catholic Church will do honor to
Christian civilization and make its career
of Christian usefulness illustrious by adj
herring to the decision of the Bishop of
Columbus.

JAPAN is reported to be short of cart
ridges for her new military rife. She
can obtain sufficient supply in Austria
only, but they cannot be made and sent
across oceans and continents under two
months. By that time the fate of the issue
between Japan and China may be deter
mined. In this emergency we should
not be surprised to find Japanese invent
i've skill equal to the situation. 1t may
be able to create plant for ball cartridge
making capable of supplying the army
by the time that the 10000, 900 rounds now
on hand are exhausted. If not, we shall
hear of fighting in which artillery and
small arms will play the chief part, and
of reservation of the rife to the very last.

DDS that viii call for the least use of the
Murata rife. Not all her rifles are of
this type, and she may have enough of
other patterns TO enable her to stand off
the enemy until she can secure a supply
of Murata cartridges. At the best. how
ever, it is a bad plight in which to be
placed in war. It is so bad that it en-
dangers the morale Of the army and tends

COMPETING WITH THE PRINTERS
UNION.


The Republican State Central Com
nnittse has issued circular letter to va
riOus Republican newspapers in the
State informing them that plates of Mr..
Estee's opening speech and the platform
of the Republican party viii be furnished
to them without cost if they viii give the
plate matter space in their forms.
The circular informs the editors that
Mr.. Estee's speech makes eight columns.
In its concluding paragraph the circular
assures the Republican editors that Re-
publican literature in the form OF plate
matter will be furnished throughout the
campaign. Though not addressed to this
Office, we have seen copy of the circular
in question and know its contents.
We are extremely sorry that the Re-
publican State Central Committee has
seen ft to launch this boiler plate liters-
rure upon the public. To the extent that
it is accepted at the hands of the pub
fishers throughout the State it displaces
the labor of compositors, and thus natu-
rally antagonizes one of the strongest and
most intelligent of the trades unions. If
one hundred papers accept eight columns
of boiler plate matter there are neces-
sarily eight hundred columns of printed
matter upon which composition bill for
eight columns only has been paid. Every
column of plate matter supersedes one
hundred columns of composition.

BG THREW ACID

Alleged Vicious Assault on a Bar
keeper.
A man named William Goldspring was
arrested by officer Bagley last evening
for creating disturbance in the Gold
Dust Saloon.
Goldspring. who is a tinsmith, went
into the saloon and demanded the return
of some tools which he says he left there,
and, according to the story Of barkeeper
Wiley, Goldspring threw a bottle of mu-
riatic acid at him, at the same time saying
that he left his tools there and wanted
them.
Some of the acid struck Wiley in the
face and slightly burned him.
