An Unpleasant Duty

lBucyrus Journal, John Hopley's Sons.)
When, at the close of January, of
this year, the important fact was an
nounced, that the Quenn of the
Sandwich Islands had been deposed
and . provisional government had
beea est ia b IS h d the
+ Elltor of THIS pap er thoroughly IN ,
formed himself Of the facts in the
ease, apd declared that Mr.. Minister
Stevens ought to he impeaehed. The
Journal did not wait to see what Nr
Harrison, then the President, wonld
do; it corsslted impartial history
and expressed opinions according
ly.
While it is mistaken and firm in
tn. belief that President Harrison
was one of the most pure, most able
apl most admirable of presidents,
it differed from him IN the Hawaiian
question, but it does not follow
that The Journal desires to assai or
question his integrity, it still con-
siders him one of the most able pat
riotic and exalted men that ever
thoroughly FILLED the Presidential
chair.
1t is an unpleasant duty for the
Journal to maintain its position
against not only so distinguished a
citizen as the late President. but
against Congressmen snd Senators
whom here fore, on other quest =
ions 1t has been pleasure to sup
port.
With these feelings it's unable

Dynamome.er Tests.

One Of the classes in agriculture at
the state university has been making a
brief study of the subject of our eorE-
mon public roads. AS part OF the r
work class of twelve young mt n
made some tests with dynamometcr
of the relative traction of q given load
under varying conditions
comparatively new s-inch tire Fish
wagon was londed SO that the tot;
weight of wagon was two long tons.
or 4.4SO pounds. The truction for this
weight was determined on I dirt road
way in excellent condition, on clover
sod from which one crop OF hay had
been taken. and on freshly plowed
ground. There was grade on these
surfaces of one in 80, but as the trat-
ton WAS determined going in both d.
rections what was gained going down
was lost going up grade, SO that Il
average result is the traction on level
ground.
The traction for two long tons on
these surfaces was found to be us To-
! lows:
Dirt roadway, excellent condition .....3i lbs.

| Fresh s.owed ground. I'll "
The importance of solid founda-
! ton, of dirt even. is here clearly shown.
About twice as much can lie dra wn on

sod and quite three times as much IS
upon the plowed ground. 1t is cxpest-
, el to determine the traction on the
roadway when it becomes muddy. Tie
| load was then drawn up hill which
| had a grade oe / in y, or q rise OF sH

stantially the same as the level dirt
roadway. The traction up this hill was
592 pounds, waich comes quite near

The Kearsaree Investigation.

Congress has made an appropriation to
get the historical old Kearsarge off Ron
cador bank. 1t is believed the vessel can
be saved, though if she should be, she
would be of very little value to the navy.
However, there is much property on
board of her which is worth a great deal
more than it will cost to save the vessel.
And even if there were no property to be
saved there is a sentiment connected with
the vessel that would justify reasonably
large outlay to save her.
In the meantime the court martial in
quiry is going on as to the causes which
led to her being wrecked. When it was
reported that the Kearsarge had been
wrecked on Roncador bank in clear
weather old sailors were amazed and
wondered whether she could have been in
charge of competent navigator.
According to the testimony of Lieut..
Lyman, who was her navigator, three
causes led to her loss, viz: A defective
chart the variability of the current and
the failure 10 sight Roncador before dark.
Tie court m. rtial will determine, of
coufse, whether those causes are sufficient
to relieve The navigator and the other
of'cers of blame.
ID is said that no chart of Roncador
bank has been made since 1885. If the
chart is defective, the question arises
whether il is sufficiently so to have caused
the disaster. There is no testimony to
SHOW there was any neglect of duty. On
tn contrary, every man appears to have
been at his rost at the time the vessel
grounled On the bank
Roncador reef is a very dangerous one,
and if it is not properly marked on the
chart no time should be lost in marking it
properly. If this is not done other YES
sells by being misled by the charC may
meet the fate that overlook the Kear-
sarge.

Since Mary Ellen Rode the Goat.

/ II Mary Ellen rode a goat. where is the
I goat that Mary Ellen rode Hugh de
Payne Commandery which Mary Ellen
says furnished the goat, officially declares
that its goat never had on a side-saddle
in its life; which may be taken as con-
elusive evidence that that is not the goat
Mary Ellen rode.
Since Mary Ellen rode a goat, as she
demonstrated she did when she gave Gov.
LeweLling the grip and bounced
him clear of his base while she had the
grip on him, as only a goat or one who
has ridden a goat knows how TO do, it de-
wolves uTon the Worshipful Goatkeepers
of Kansas to ascertain, if possible,
who bridled the billy for her and
assisted her to mount. There have
been numerous speeulations on the sub
iect during the past two weeks in Topeka
and Wichita, but an absolutely satisfac-
tory explanation has not been struck
upon. The nearest approach to it ap-
pears TO be that telegraphed TO the Pitts
burg Dispatch, to the effect that the goat
Mary Ellen rode was only a ''supe'-nOt
q goat proper-and that that supe was
Mr. Lease
1t is stated as a fact that Mary Ellen is
a spiritualist, a hypnotist and Buddhist,
as well as populist. About year or so
ago she became more than ever
deeply interested in hypnotism, and
by the ardent study of the
proper way to agitate the circumam-
bient atmosphere with her arms, and by
constant practice on Gen. W eaver, with
whom she was making a political
tour at the time, she acquired
certain degree of hypnotic power
which she was able to exert over weak
minded persons. With this power at her
command, so the story goes, she cornered
Mr. Lease one night after he had washed
the children and put them to bed, used
it upon him and made him believe he was
a goat.
Mr.. Lease is a member Of Hugh de
Payne Commandery, and has ridden the
goat himself, and seen it ridden by Others
on frequent occasions; therefore, he
knows what a goats business is. And he
did not forget it when his wife had him
hypnotized, down on his all-fours and
chewing imaginary az acia leaves made of
manuscripts of her speeches.
Having got her goat under proper con
troll, the theory is that Mary Ellen in
serted an apron string into his mouth and
made him cut up every caper that rea.
goat does when a real candidate is
mounted astride.
That is the favorite explanation of
Mary Ellen's goat riding at Topeka; and
it has got all the populistic wives Of the
goat riders of Kansas into a stew about
the infringement of their rights by their
husbands. They contend that if Mary
Ellen convinced her husband while he was
a goat that they twain were one, and that,
being one, she was as much a man as he
ever dared to be, and was therefore en-
titled to ride the got they are by the
same process of reasoning also men, and
should be allowed 10 ride goats. And
they will demand of the populist party
that their rights be given them,
