A SWORD CANE INCIDENT.
An Old Peace officer Tells How
SUch a Cane Was Sprung

vi
Officer Bowen, in a retrospective
mood last night, in conversation
with his friend. Louis Michael,
saidc "Some years ago the law
against the carrying of a sword
cane, in this city,. was more strict
ly enforced than it is at present. 1
was a policeman. on regular beat
then, and one night, stepping into
the Fashion theatre | saw a mans
CAGE suddenly shoot out of his
hand and fly away in a very
peculiar manner, without any
apparent movement of the
mans hand. / picked it up to hand
it back to him, and he excitedly
asked me to return it. / examined
1T and found it to be only part of
a cane, and at once saw by the hol-
low tube exposed that it was a
sword cane and that he had
touched the spring which caused
the case to fly off. He had slipped
the sword through several hands
in the group around him and had
to threaten to arrest all of them
before l recovered it, but / got it
from "Pilot Point kid" and then
arrested the owner, Warren JEFF
Trey. The next morning Recorder
Anton Adam, then en- the bench
fined him $50 for carrying the
weapon"

the charges were based, but when the COM
mittee. accepting Mr.. Holman's estimate Of
the gentleman. called for facts, none was
presented" The report further states that
the Holman resolution was the joint prod
uct of Messrs. Holman and Sypher, having
been written by the latter and revised by
the former. and strongly intimates that
Sypher was actuated by corrupt motives.
AS to his reputation. the report says: "Mr.
Holman. in introducing Mr.. Sypher as a
gentleman of excellent reputation, seems
to have lost sight of the fact that General
Sheridan, under oath, had characterized
Sypher as a blackmailer." The report
goes on to ventilate Sypher's record in
Louisiana and intimate that Mr.. Holman
ought to be ashamed for lending himself
to the base uses of such a fellow. The re-
port is as much a censure of Mr.. Holman
as it is an exoneration of the Navy Depart
ment and the Cramps.

AN ARMY DESPOT.
Colonel Graham Charged with Tyrar-
meal Conduct at the Preside Post.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1~2.-Regarding
the charges preferred by Lieut.-Col. Sam
uel p. NJ. Young against Col. William NJ.
Graham, commander of the forces at Pres
lido, and the arrest of Colonel Young I'M
der orders of Colonel Graham, a high
army officer, whose name is withheld,
says: 1T is a grand climax that had 10
come sooner or later. If Colonel Young
had not taken it up some one else would.
The commanding officer at this post, since
assuming charge, has been despotic. Nine
ty per cent. Of the officers at this post will
testify, and gladly, to Colonel Graham's
tyrannical. overbearing. suspicious and ca
PRECIOUS manner. No one will deny his in
tegrity and bravery, but in all since he
has been here he has been a tyrant- L do
not know the specific charges brought by
Colonel Young. but. generally speaking,
they are for rude and ungentlemanly con-
duct toward him. What the outcome will
be no one can tell. / know that Colonel
Young courts a trial, that he may vindi-
cate himself Of any charges that may be
brought against him. He has an unfair
nished record Of thirty years service, and
it issIamentable that he should now be sub
jected TO humiliation. If this trouble had
been between two captains il would be
ummarily disposed of, but the higher the
official the greater the scandal and ex-
pense of trial. 1t costs money to try such
cases, and if they are tried a Jury of their
superior officers cannot enforce a SEN
tence. That power IS vested with the Pres
character the matter is never taken that
far"

a PARTY TEAT I'VE BY FRAUD.

Current events furnish some interesting
commentaries on the repeal of the national
election laws. While the Democrats in Con-
gress were making their record on the sub
ject and while Mr.. Cleveland was ostenta-
tiously signing the repeal act with a new
the faithful to be preserved as a souvenir,
the trial of McKane for the Gravesend
frauds was in progress. These frauds are
but an incident OF Tammany methods for
years past If committed in a presidential
election they might have turned the vote of
the State of New York and changed the
result of the election, as there is good
reason 10 believe has actually been done in
two instances.
Just now. also. the Richmond Times, a
Democratic paper published at the capital
of Virginia. is exposing the frauds COM
mitted by its own party in that State under
what is known as the Anderson-AIcCor-
mick law. This is one OF the Southern cleo
ton laws designed to give the Democratic
party absolute control Of the ballot boxes
with license TO commit whatever fraud
they may choose. 1t is needless to say they
have improved the opportunity. They have
done it TO such an extent that even a Dem
ocratic paper calls a halt and devctes col
unIn after column to exposing the frauds of
its own party.
Turning TO Alabama, we see a mutiny
IN the Democratic party on account Of cleo
ton frauds. The Kolb faction claims that
he has been twice fairly elected Governor
and twice counted out by fraud. They
have nominated him a third time. and they
are swearing by the eternal that If he is
elected this time he shall take the Office II
they nave to wade in blood. Their charges
OF fraud are not brought against the Re
publicans, but against the ruling faction
OF their own party.
These incidents are named not because
they are exceptional. but because they hap
pened just when the Democrats In Congress
were voting to repeal the national election
laws and when Mr.. Cleveland, as the rep
resentative OF Democratic reform was sign
ing the act. Tney show that the Democratic
party is every where the perpetrator and de-

your opinion, is the cause of the present

your remedy to correct it?" the following
was sent Mr.. Voorhees,:
The cause of the present depression in
trade is the fear of and the necessity of
preparing for the results OF the passage
of a tariff bill by Congress which can posi-
bly, have but one effect, viz: To reduce the
wages of the employe, the profit of the man

labor and property of every person in the
United States. thereby reducing the circu-

The remedy to correct said depression,
