many who are ready TO ride into
Office on new-fangled ideas; 30
many who are willing ia sacrafice
party principle for public office,
where Is the man or mon, able
to. and worthy of representing us
in the next Legislature? Sir, back
in those good old ante-bellum
days, the people looked up the
man. Now, the man looks up the
people.
Since Giles has conceded to us
Lawrence) the Senator, we will
have two men to choose. Men
thoroughly identified with Us; me n
who are intelligent and indus tri-
Gus; men who will do right simply
because it is right to do right. We
would like to see the grand old
democratic party we have worked
so hard for, be ably represented in
the next Legislature by men of
whom we would feel proud.
Why not run Judge James A.
Simms for the Senate? Have you
forgotten the hard fight he made q
few years back in the face Of no
chance, when we attacked Wayne
and Hardin with six or seven hun
drrd majority against us? The
grand fight he made and came near
being elected! We have another
old true and tried democrat who
has been identified with US for
three fourths of a century, Judge
8. A. Carroll. lie has held many
positions of trust, and has never
betrayed a single one. He, perhaps,
could be induced to run for the
Legislature. Now, Mr. Editor,
Judge Simms and Judge Carroll
need no comment. They are
known all over the county by ev-
cry man. Their abilities are un-
questionable. Their democracy
has been tried as by fire. Now, l
ask, where are two men more capa-
BILE in all the county to represent
us? ! do not know, as | said be.
fore, whether they will run or not;
but fgood democrats who love the
party and the county would call on
them, teey might be induced to
run. They are strong men, live
men, and would organize the par
ty for good fight. They love
Lawrence county, and would fight
for us in the Legislative halls.
Judge James A. Simms for tho
Senate, and Judge 5. A. Carroll for
the Legislature, would be y strong
and winning ticket.
Respectfully,
u. A. Bentley.

Editor Democrat
In the Democrat of last week, I
see al editorial, in which, you ask
who will represent US in the next
Legislature? That is serious
question. 1t is an easy matter to
find a man to fill a seat and draw
the money per day, but where is
the maa qualified and worthy in
every respect to represent US?
In these days Of isms and fac
lions, with so many different ideas
so many self-aprointed leaders; so

FIFTY YEARS. AGO.

FIFTY YEARS. AGO.
Written For The Democrat,
by Ida Vale.
There's been dreadful change,
An can't understand;
Why nothing's noticed any more,
Unless its great an grand.
But there's M use Of talkin',
Whist can q person say;
In spite Of all it seem. to me,
Tne whole worlds go,n' astray!
They cay I'm old fashioned,
An think do not know;
But the worlds not like it used to be,
Just fifty years ago.
Children's not trained Is they used
TO be,
Their parents let them 90;
And what the world is coming to,
I'm sure I do not know.
The way some old folks carry On,
IL shocking nowadays;
An every year they'r CROWN worse,
With thor queer old-fashioncd ways.
Au' such dreadful fashions they have,
The way they talk an dress;
The Aounces, ruffies an ribbons,
Ii enough to put one in distress.
But I'm sure folks were happier,
When they talked common sense;
An dressed accordin' to their means,
An there wasn't SO much pretcnsc.
An for my part I'm tired Of livin,''
With oil this fashion an show:
An Wish | was back in the good old
times,
OF fifty Years ago.

Sl4p 100000 FOR PENSIONS.
Commissioner Lochren Makes That Estimate
TO the Appropriation Committee.

Washington Nov. 23.-Two sub-com
mittccs of the appropriation committee
were in session at the Capitol, today. The
sub committee on pensions heard Com
missioner LOchren, today, and will report
to the full committee "A recommendation
for an appropriation of $4,000, 900 for
pensions for the fiscal year 1895 This
amount is the commissioner estimate,
The only change made in the estimates
submitted to the committee is reduction
of 5000, 900 in the amount provided for
special examiners, which was done at the
suggestion of the commissioner.
The sub committee recommend an APP
preparation of 81, 3Sl, 900 for other cxpen-
SOS than pensions. The commissioner
stated that in the year ended June 30,
1894 the sum paid for pensions was S139,
SOi, 46l less than the amount appropriated
by s25, 205, 7i3. Estimates for pensions
proper for 1856 are about the same as
the amount paid last year, ard $40, 600, 900
less than the estimate this year.

CLUE TO PITEZEL.
Lived in Chicago Last May-Ras Since
Written from ST. Louis.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The Woodlawn
police, today, obtained Il clue regarding
Benjamin f. Pitezcl, the accomplice of
II. II. Holmes, now detained in Philadel-
phia on charges of having swindled an in
surancc company Of $4,000. Shortly af-
ter the account of Holmes arrest was pub
lished, the police at Woodlawn station
thought they recognized in the dcscrip-
ton of Pitezcl a man who lived in Nor
gan flats on Madison avenue. They fol
lowed up the chase and found that the
suspect was Pitczcl, but that he had vaca-
ted the apartments on May 1, last storing
his furniture at Curtis Brothers ware
house.
Early in August, Ptezel was in the
city, ostensibly to make arrangements re-
garding the removal of his household
effects to St Louis, where he intended to
make his home for the winter. He soon
left for Philadelphia. shortly afterwards
a letter was received by Mr.. Curtis from
piteZcl in St Louis. in which he promised
soon to clear his Indebtedness on the
furniture and effect a removal.
Four letters We're written by Mr. Curtis
to Pitezel at st. Louis, but as none were
returned to him despite the fact that the
writer's address with the usual request to
return, was placed on the outside of each
envelope, the police believe Pitczel is still
alive in st. Louis.

A QUEER INDIAN TRIBE.
Moguis Divided Into Two Factions on the
Question Of Progress.

Denver Nov. 23.-Captain Constant
Williams, Of the Seventh Infantry, has
forwarded to the headquarters of the de
partment of Colorado the particulars of
the trouble about the Moqui Indians.
Governor Solomai obtained some pro-
gressivc ideas from a visit to Washing
ton with two other Moquis about 10
years ago. On his return he described
the immense number of people, the rail
roads and the gigantic buildings he had
SEEN The Indians, thinking he was
crazy, placed him in confinement for
some time.
Captain Williams, to ascertain the
cause of the disturbance, visited the vii
lage and found that it arose from a sec
ond attempt of Solonai to adopt the Gus
toms of the pale faces. A meeting of the
two factions was held in the square of the
village, and the chiefs of the contending
factions stated their case Williams said
he had deemed it necessary to ask fol-
two troops of the United States cavalry to
be sent there. 1t is believed the trouble
will be over in few days. but it will take
some time for the news to arrive as
Indians are a considerable distance from
any town.
Army officers say they are the most re
ligious people in the world, and honora
BILE and upright in all their dealings.
They speak language of their own, but
each separate village has dialect that
| they all understand. .-.-.-

DECLARES PITszEL IS ALIVE.
Holmes Lawyer will Not Defend Him II Muir.
der Charge is Made.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-Lawyers Haw-
kins and Shoemaker had long confer
ence with Holmes, today At the begin
ming of the talk, the lawyers informed
their client that he had acted the part of
fool, pure and simple" in unbosoming
himself and making such startling confess
sions as are alleged to have been made to
representatives of the Fidelity Mutual
Life Association. Holmes declared to his
attorneys that Pitezel is alive, and said
his whereabouts would be located when
his (HolmesD mail was forwarded from
Chicago. He was given to understand by
his lawyers that they would not defend
him if murder charge was made.
Lawyer Hawkins, today, wrote letter
to Superintendent of Police Linden de-
claring that the action of the authorities
in secreting Mrs. Holmes, who is said to
be the arch conspirator's third wife, and
preventing her from seeing her husband
was wrong He stated that unless the
woman was produced at an early date
"A writ of habeas corpus would be applied
for to compel the police to produce her.
Holmes and Mrs. Pitezel were removed
today from the Central police station to
the county prison. No efforts TO secure
bail Tor either was 1Ildue. hTS iVcHoi .
children are allowed by the society to go
TO the prison with her. There is but little
question that Holmes will plead guilty to
the charge Of conspiracy to defraud when
brought to trial, as he repeatedly confessed
the crime, and today, to his lawyers he
said that he was weary of being fugitive.
To the charge of murder he will make
a defence to the last, and fully expects to
be able to prove that Pitezel is alive with
out even having to produce him. Holmes,
today, retracted the story that one of the
Williams girls was murdered in Chicago
and he buried the body in the lake. He
said the girl is now travelling in Europe
Lawyer Howe spent today in consulta-
ton with his attorney. He will return to
st. Louis, tomorrow. Lawyer Hawkins
one of the attorneys engaged for Holmes,
admitted, today, that Holmes had strong
friends in Philadelphia and they are bend
ing every effort to aid him. Mr. Hawkins
received an additional fee of $3.50, today.
for undertaking the defence OF Holmes
but declined to say from whom the money
came.
