Galveston News does not feel
amiable over the evident slate
making that the party directors
are engineering and rises to de-
nounce it, saying:
"It is to be hoped that any set of
political manipulators who get to-
gether and trade the offices around
to each other may have their slate
broken to pieces by the state con-
ventions. 1t goes without saying
that there are going to be some
states to smash"
The News ought to understand
that the slate makers of the Texas
Democracy are all-pewerful; that
as the manipulators put up the
wires and pull them so will their
puppets dance, and that there is
not an influence for pure politics
in the state powerful enough to
stem the tide Of preconcerted ac-
ton.

MONDAY, MARCH u, 1894.

Houston Post whistles to main
tain its courage upon "tarifr de-
formation" in the Senate, but it is
a poor excuse for whistle:
1.-THE alleged Democratic OBJ
structionists in the Senate have
singly and .severally denied the
allegation and defiCd the allega-
tor In regard to the tariff reform
bill, and now they should 90
ahead and prove their faith by
their works"
The Senat @ committee has done
all in it's power to convert the
Wilson bill into a protection docu-
ment, not even Consenting to work
for a tariff for revenue much less
for reform tariff that thinly dis
guises the free trade features.
n Cleveland undertakes to force
the Senate into the paths OF his
tariff declarations he will force
fight that will burst that Wilson
bill higher than ChimbOrazO. The
interests Of the industries of the
several sections that demand pro-
lection are not likely to be sold
out as easily in the Senate as in
the House, and the members OF
that latter body will find that the
party whip will be cracked in
vain over the heads Of several Of
the Senate. AS it now stands the
House will either come down
gracefully or it will be called
down.
Harmony is in sight. That is
the refrain of every Democratic
journal in the state, and the signs
Of the times indicate that the
turn of the game has come, but it
will be all as Matlock says. There
is no doubt that Baker has re-
Ceived his cue and unless there is
miscue Matlock will have to
quietly step down and Out or the
harmony pottage will be burned.
The Prohibitionists of Texas,
who have been lost in the crack,
are emerging and threaten to bob

MANY ARE DROWNED.
SEVEN PERSONS PERISH AT
LITTLETON, IOWA.
In Search Of Two Little Children a
Party Of Twelve Breaks Through
the Ice

Oelwein, Ia, Dec. 11.-LittletOn, Bu-
chanan county, furnishes a story of
wholesale drowning. Two children,
George and Hannah Cook, aged 8 and
- respectively, went skating on a mill
pend some distance from the main
part of the town. The children fail
ing to return at a reasonable time,
the mother became alarmed and went
to search for them, but could not find
them. She returned to the town and
gave the alarm. A crowd gathered
about the pond about dusk and many
people ventured on the ice. 1t sudden
ly broke through, precipita ting twelve
persons into the river. OF this num-
Der, in the darkness Of coming night,
seven were rescued. The bodies of
the five others, in addition to the
cOrpseS Of the two children, were
found yesterday under the ice, some
distance below the scene Of the
drowning. The names Of the victims
are: Fred Hanks, John Morton, Geo.
Roberts, G. II. Hanks, George B.
Floss, George Cook and Hannah
Cook.

hours OF questioning, the police could
gain nothing from him. The police
say that he bears a marvellous resem-
blance to Seeley, the description Of the

Minneapolis, Dec. 1.-THE grand
the Cling murder case. 1t seems that
the officials have practically given up
hope of wringing a confession from
Harry Hayward, as he is apparently
determined to fight the thing out to
the bitter end. Assistant County At
torney Hall declares that he has evil
dence Of Harry Haywards completely
in the murder and in other dark
crimes, but he gave no hint as to what
they are. 1t is certain arson and kid
mapping are among them if not MUIR
der. The cOroner's jury returned a
formal verdict that Miss Cling came
to her death by shot fired by some
unknown person or persons. BliXtS
past record is being looked mp, and
some comment is made on the fact
that he has been thrice married, and
that two of his wives died suddenly.
1t seems suspicious were entertained
against him in Cannon Falls at the
time Of these deaths, but no action is
looked forward to in investigation of
them.

Harry Hayward caught car almost

he took particular pains that his seats

by some of his intimate friends, who
could thus swear to having seen him
there during the evening. He is said
to have enjoyed the play thoroughly to
all outward appearances and laughed
heartily at the funny situations which
are so numerous in that play.

intended to kill, and he also planned
to burn the Ozark flats, even if he had
to burn all the people in it, some time
during the year. He wanted Blixt to

he had killed her, saying that they

and have since resided here. They

AS all the histories tell and as every
one who reads them knows, Napoleon
Bonaparte started in June. 1872, for
Russia with a very large army to
wage war because of a disagreement
between him and Gar Alexander and
that after campaign of several
months duration and after the burn
ing of Moscow the French were forced
to retreat to avoid the extreme rigor
of the winter that had overtaken them.
The immense army. reduced to but
small fraction of its original size
by the encounters engaged in and by
the privations of camp life in coun-
try so much colder than the men were
accustomed to, presented a pitiful
sight as it wendell the dreary way
back to sunny France. The men per-
ished by thousands along the way.
Some dropped to their death in the
deep snow that covered the roads,
others died Of starvation and others
were shot down by bands of Cossacks
in ambush. Those who remained had
little resemblance to human beings so
terrible were tn" things they had to
endure.
AS Mr.. Buffort tells it the army was
being driven rapidly forward by
swiftly pursuing Cossacks when it
reached Mentz. There was consequent
ly no long stop made the men pausing
moment at the border Of the city
for some refreshment, and then hur
ryfng through in the endeavOr to
reach home safe as soon as they pos
sibly could. The name of Napoleon
was in everyone'S mouth at that time,
and, as may be supposed, a large
gathering Of people assembled along
the streets to see the great general
and his forces pass by. Among those
who crowded to the street to catch a
glimpse Of Napoleon was Michael Buff
fort and his little son Joseph. The
crowd was very large, and in order
to get view Of the procession Joseph
had to be held up by his father, and
so, perched upon those great broad
shoulders, he saw what even at that
time filed him with satisfaction. Mr.
Buffort says Napoleon rode among
party of officers at the head Of the
procession. He was mounted ON a
white horse and wore a peaked hat,
a great coat of dark blue stuff and
riding boots. His complexion, he re-
members distinctly, was sallow and
bronzed. The close proximity of the
Cossacks made it necessary for the
mems safety to hurry and they rushed
through the city as rapidly as they
could, ''as though they were being
driven like CATTLE" as Mr.. Buffort eX-
presses it. There was no attempt at
a demonstration of friendlinss or en-
thusiasm toward the great general or
his men as Mr.. Buffort remembers it.
but the people let the procession hurry
past without cheer or, encouraging
word. 1t took several hours for the
army to get out of the city, but the
spectators did not wait to see it all
pass most Of them returning home
when Napoleon had gone by. The Cos
sacks came up a few hours later and
continued the pursuit through the city.
