the sudden death of Mrs Amands
Weleh In Barbour county on the
25th of March under suspicious cir
cumstances and the analysis of hel

Mrs. Welch was sick but a few
hours and died in great agony. That
with some other circumstances
aroused the suspicious of her neigh
bors and the body was exhumed and
the stomach removed. The inquest
was adjourned until the analysis OF
the stomach was completed, At th,
conclusion of the inquest the eoro
nor's jury rendered this verdict:
That Amanda Welch came to hei
death on the morning of the 25th
day of March, 1894, by means of ar
senic poison, called and known as

The Bottom Fa1tsf i'm the Sew
erage Matter

The projected purpose by Coupcil
of laying sewers in the center of
town means two or three things of
which the people may well take note;
|. 1t means that the residents Of
one or two blocks are 10 be favored
with the immediate benefi fits Of sew
erage, which all tax payers must pay
for, while the body Of the people
pour their sewerage in back yards
for an indefinite time.
2. 1t means that whenever hereaf-
ter, vote is taken on a general sys-
TEN of sewerage, the center of the
town already fixed, will refuse to
pay anything to fix the balance OF
the town. They being "in it" will
crook their fingers at the fellows
who are "out of it," and "smile a
smole."
3. In short, the more patch work
| is done, the less number of votes
there ever will be for general sys-
TEN. 1t gives all the benefits of a
general system to few at the ex-
pense of the many, and forever cuts
off hope for the many having any
share in sewerage except paying fol
that enjoyed by the few.
a. Moreover. the patch work. piece
meal project will cost the tax payers
Just about as much in the end as a
general system. A contract can be
let for a good, scientific job that will
cover the town, for a very little
more than a job of unscientific hung
ling and repairing through several
years over part of the town.
The bottom fact in the whole mat
ter is just this: that while the Coun-
Gil is perfectly right in SAYING that
sewerage in certain sections is an
imperative necessity, they are unfair,
unjust and inequitable, in proposing
to provide that sewerage at the cost
of perpetual defeat of a general
system. They cannot be justified in
fencing out for an indefinite time, a
large portion of the taxpayers, while
few are let into the benefits of sew
erage at the general expense.
The people will not approve such
policy.
The people will want to know, if
such a proposition is carried out,
what motives entered into it besides
patriotism"
What the people want and are en-
titled to, is chance to vote on a
judicious plan for a general system
of sewerage, to be paid for through
series of years.

Mathew Marshall in his financial
article in the New York Sun criti
cises the croakers who labor to 70
ment disturbances among wage
carriers and pays the following trib
ute to the intelligence of the large
army of men who do manual labor
for their living. He SAYS: The
truth is tnat the writers and speak
ers who expend so much energy in
bemoanipg the hard lot of those of
their fellow men who live upon the
wages of manual labor very much
underestimate the intelligence of the
objects of their compassion. and
adopt toward them an attitude of
patronizing superiority based much
more upon self-conceit than on ac-
curate knowledge Whatever may
have been the case in bygone times,
the working people in this country,
in Great Britain. in France and in
Germany have, for the last few years,
proved themselves quite as well
aware of their power and quite as
shrewd in making use of it to their
own advantage as those who live by
their tongues and their pens. 1t is
not for nothing that education has
been diffused among them by com
mon schools and by the reading of
books and periodicals. They have
learned the great principle, which
our forefathers century ago applied
so successfully to political matters,
that in union is strength, and they
have acted upon it in keeping up
the price of their labor Little by
little the trades unions have spread
and increased, until only the least
skilled workers remain outside of
their lines, Many of them, indeed,
have still to learn that violence is
not necessary to enable them to win
in their disputes if they are right,
and in any case Injuries their cause,
but they are gradually coming to
see it. At all events, the talk so
common among those who draw up,
on their Imagination for their facts,
that the working people of this ma
ton are oppressed, downtrodden, de-
frauded of their just dues, and gen
orally wretched, is wide of the truth.

Letter to Hon. Chauneey f. Black.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April o.
President Cleveland has forwarded
the following letter to Hon. Chaun.
cey f. Black, President of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic
Clubs:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 81, 1894
Hon. Chdaacey f. Black, Esq.
DEAR SRI have carefully read
The communication you lately placed
in my hands setting forth the future
purposes and present needs of the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs
The achievements of this organi.
cation should be familiar to all who
are interested in the continuation of
Democratic supremacy and should
enlist the encouragement of those
who appreciate the Importance of
any effective dissemination of polit-
ical doctrine
Your Association has done much
by way of educating our people
touching the particular subjects
which are recognized as belonging
to the Democratic faith, but it seems
to me that its best service has been
an enforcement and demonstration
of the truth that our party is best
organized and most powerful, when
it strives for principles instead of
spoils, and that it quickly responds
to the stimulus supplied by an en-
listment in the peoples cause.
This acknowledgement Of the i'm
portant services rendered to the adj
vancement of true Dem ccracy sug.
gests that the National Association
of Democratic clubs and every other
Democratic organization should la
Dor increasingly to save our party,
in this time of its power and respon
sibiity, from the degradation and
disgrace of failure to redeem the
pledges upon which our fellow coun
trymen entrusted us with the con
tol of their Government.
All who are charged on behalf of
the Democratic party with the re-
demption of these pledges should
be impressively reminded that
as we won our way to victory under
the banner of tariff reform. so our
insistepce upon tina. principle is the
condition of our retention OF the peo-
pies trust; and that fealty to party
organization demands the subordiua-
tion of individual advantages and
wishes and the putting aside of pet
" and ignoble jealousies and bicker
ings when party principles and party
existence are at stake.
] cheerfully enclose contribution
to the funds necessary to carry on
the good work of your organization,
with hearty wish for its continued
success and usefulness
Yours very truly,
