ALONG THE WATER FRONT,
War of the Three C.'S Over the
Appointment of a Harbor
EmplOye.
Ocean Spray, Alias Sea Foam,

The State Harbor Commission crossed
swords with itself yesterday over the re-
moval of William Cruise. superintendent
of tugs and dredgers, and the appointment
of Louis Heste to the position.
The first stroke of hostilitles came when
President Colnon proposed the removal of
the old superintendent. and Commissioner
Cole vigorously opposed the motion.
cit is plan," said he, ''to replace all
the old efficient employees, especially the
heads of the departments, with Democrats.
A better man than Cruise could not be
found. By putting this new man over the
tugs and dredgers it will place that whole
department under the control of his politi-
cal party"
Commissioner Chadbourne said that he
would not let his party affiliations interfere
with his duty as public official, and as he
believed that President Colnon was striv-
ing to promote the good of the service he
would vote with that officer in this case.
The question was put to vote and
Commissioners Colnon and Chadbourne
showed Commissioner Coles solitary bal
lot under.
A warm argument occurred between
the three Commissioners, in which the
names of two political parties were
mentioned. Colonel Chadbourne felt his
military ire getting up and objected to his
political brothers. strong language on the
ground that Colnon, as executive officer
has right to make the appointment. Cole
denied this, but the appointment was re-
corded.
By this test the Republican EMPLOYEES on
the water front say their heads are under
the suspended ak, and that Commissioner
Chadbourne will in the future vote with
the president. Others more thoughtful saw
that the colonel has retentive memory
and is now getting back at the Cole Basseft

him in the matter of patronage in times
past.

Growth of the American Idea.

That champion Of the inter ;ewed,
DR.. Chauncey NJ Depew, makes a
statement Of interest to American news
paper men when he describes the
changes that have taken place in the
slow old British journalistic methods.
When he was in London five years ago,
he received at his hotel a polite note
asking when it would be convenient for
him to see a newspaper representative.
After the interview was in type, proofs
were submitted to him so that he might
see whether he was quoted accurately.
On a later visit to England reporters
called at his hotel and sent up their
cards. They asked some questions then,
but not so many, principally about
American securities.
But this time great was the change
The British newspaper young men have
been catching on to the American
way rapidly. Mr.. Depew's steamer
landed at in the morning At he
went down TO breakfast to find an Eng
lish reporter waiting beside his chair,
"saying in the well remembered New
York way, Are You Mr.. Chauncey De-
pew Then the young man fred off
at him succession of questions cover
ing politics, economies and social ques-
tions, all in breath, precisely as the
Yankee reporter does always.
Well, we are glad to have taught our
British brethren something about news
paper making We hope their journals
will in consequence become less dreary
and heavy and less difficult to read in
future. There is no doubt of it, the
American newspaper is the most reada-
bic one in the world 1t puts the most

He 5 in a Rage.


The Teller last week devoted nearly
two columns to what purports to be
.More about County Business" but
what was really chiefly personal abuse
of the editor of the HERALD. Most of
it is so vulgar in thought and express
sion and SO Enthusiastically the venom
OF an almost insane jealously that it
does not merit notice.
Ever since the present owner came
into possession of the HERALD, a med
dlesome, whining Pollockism has been
nosing about trying to discover
whether the plant is all paid for.
Having established the Teller with
other peoples money and having been
the tool of monied bosses during the
most of his career he is anxious 70
find out whether some one else is not
in the same condition. And since one
boss vetoed the electric. light indem-
nifty bond he has been more restless
than ever.
The HERALD is owned and control
led entirely by the present editor and
no one else is responsible in the least
for its policy.
The HERALD believes in full and
free discussion Of all public business
but will not hesitate to condemn ma
licious and unwaranted attacks on
public officials. 1t is just as much
the duty of newspaper to defend
and protect honest men against the
ISLANDERS and calumnies of unscrupu-
lous demagogues as tits to expose the
tricks and roguery of the vicious.
The Teller has long pursued course
toward public men little better than
that OF hesblackmailer and OF course
its editor is in towering rage when
the true character Of his paper is
mentioned. He, coward like, tries to
shift the responsibility of this County

and says that he would not have
criticised the county board. its chair
man and clerk if the HERALD man
hadn't made him mad. According to
his statements certain officials have
been guilty Of serious misconduct,
yet he would not have exposed them

made some time ago that the Teller

pies, controlled in part by spite and
jealousy but run principally "For

1t IS very ungracious role some

But now comes Mrs E. Lynn Linton,
whose mission it apparently is to find
only fault with everything and every
body in this universe, and tells us that
the great George Eliot was 'unwashed,

association has issued a circular which
sets forth very clearly the attitude OF
many of the best thinkers of the age.

Much Mixed.

The scene at the funeral of a gentle
man who had had three wives, two of
them living at the time of his Iamented
demise, oughs to be an awful warning
to all mankind not to mix family rela-
tions ap to too great an extent. Mr.. Ed
win G. Odell welded the love of his
youth. In few years she died, leaving
three children. After mourning for a
due and decorous length of time Edwin
trieG matrimony again. When two more
children increased the number Of
those wis called him father Edwin and
the secon1 wife became incompatible
because Edwin admired a Miss Smith.
He bad heart as wide as a meeting
house, did Edwin. A divorce followed.
and Edwin married his Miss Smith.
Through this marriage three more chill
dren were added to Edwin's miscella-
neous assortment.
Edwin seems TO have been successful
in accuInulating property as well as
children, for he left considerable es-
tate. Wife No had meantime married
again. Her second husband died and
after his death she ignored that he had
ever been. She claimed to be the widow
of Edwin, and the only genuine Jacob
of a widow. Both the women published
funeral notices of the deceased, in which
each called herself the widow of Edwin.
At the funeral wife No. 2 forced her
carriage into the first place behind the
hearse, and it was only when the son of
the first wife shook his fist IN the face
of No. rs driver and called on a police
man to put him out of the rank that
wife No. 3's rights were acknowledged.
Wife No. 2 did not cease insisting that
it was her funeral, and no other wife's.
till the policeman used strong moral
suasion with her.
Edwin G. Odell must have been
highly edited if his ghost was fitting
around there anywhere.

town OF Bloomington, especially in
the western portion against
bonding the town to build a railroad.
The principal reason for said opposi-

Bloomington ought to command mon

A Great Man.

Before noticing what Senator Sher-
man says it may be profitable to note
who Senator Sherman is. Twenty
years ago, in the deep shadow OF the
d. ster OF 1873, he put through Con-
gress the Resumption act, and was
presen, Y appointed secretary OF the
treasury to carry it into effect. What
financiers of Europe and this country
then declared utterly impossible, be
did. The most eminent statesmen OF
other nations, such as Mr. Gladstone,
have repeatedly pointed to the re-
sumption Of specie payments by the
United States as the greatest financial
achievement on record. At the verv
hour his political opponents were
solemnlv resolving that it was inn
possible, John Sherman brought the
greenback to par in gold, nailed and
kept it there, and opened the way for
the most wonderful progress and
prosperity ever realized by this or
any other nation. No other states
man in American history has so
splendid a record for financial achieve
ment, and it need not be said that
there is not now in all the Democratic
party. nor has there ever been a man
whose proved ability and accomplish
ments in the financial service Of the
country entitle him to be listened to
even for a moment in opposition to
the veteran of Ohio. Y. Tribune.

The discovery that a variety Of wild
cane which grows in abundance in the
low, marshy lands of the southern states
forms a most excellent and nutritious
food for farm animals and poultry is
something valuable. At the top of the
cane is bunch of tassels and leaves. In
the midst of this grows large number
of seeds that have a sweetish taste
Cattle eat the tops with eagerness and
thrive immensely. The seeds are shaped
like grains of oats, except that they are
two or three times as large. There are
qualities about the grain that seem to
indicate it to be a hybrid between the
sugar cane and ordinary field oats,
though this is not certain. 1t could
probably be ground into meal or flour
and be made into a palatable and nutri-
tious bread Farmers in localities where
it grows are thrashing out hundreds of

Booker t. Washington, the colored
man who was the oratorieal hero of the
day at the opening of the Atlanta expo
sition, crowded as much common sense
into his speech as any white man on
this continent could have done. "You
must not expect overmuch from us, Z" he
said to the white folk, starting as we
did 80 years ago with ownership in a
few quilts and pumpkins and chickens
gathered from miscellaneous sources. .
He knew how to pay graceful compli-
ment rs we'll as an accomplished cour-
tier, too, thanking both north and south
for the help they had given the black
people in preparing for the exposition
1t is interesting to know that he regards
the agitation for social equality of the
races as the EXTREMIST folly, . in which
he is exactly right. The American
negro now wants most of all to ''saw
wood and say nothing He needs TO
lay up money, to get an education, to
get good manners and good morals and
10 train himself to the habits of living
common among refined people, white or
black. These are words of gold from
the address. The opportunity to earn a
dollar in factory Just now is worth in
iinitely more than the opportunity to
spend a dollar in an opera house.

Nomination OF Garfield.

VIM. +. arter of the law firm of
Van Dyke, YAH DS Ike & Carter was
one OF the Wisconsin delegates 10 the
national republican convention of 1880
and he most emphaiically stated last
evening that Garfield did not seek the
nomination 1t was given to Mr..
Garfield, Mr. Carter said, as a direct
result of his excellent record before
the convention, the ability he showed
in the convention and his great popu-
larity at the time of the convention.
In regard To the action of the " is
consin delegates. Mr. Carter said II
have no hesitation in making the
statement that what Wisconsin did n
that convention was decided upon al
most at the beginning of the conven-
ton and without consulting any other
state on body. Almost all of Wis
consin's delega ion we're present at
the meeting held to decide what
cours he deleg ties should take, and
/ suppos the action was the under
standing OF the hole delegation.
1T was apparent ii at there was
deadlock in the convt ntion and the
suggestion wac made that none of the
candidates then before the convention
could be nominated. The Wisconsin
delegation stood at this lime seven for
Blaine. nine for Washbuin. three for
Sherman and one for Grant Most
us were satisfied that Gen. George Il.
Bryant was the Grant man.
1T was suggested by one of our
delegation who had more experience
than had that the position of Wis
consin at the foot of the roll call list
would give the state great opportun-
ity to start boom for the winning
candidate and either that Wisconsin
delegate or one other suggested that
Garfield was the only man who could
break the deadlock. The suggestion
met with favor and it was ut least
tacitly adopted
.'At The close Of the thrty-third
ballot we were decided. and on the
thirty-fourth ballot sixteen of us cast
our votes for Garfield. Two votes
were cast for Grant and two for
Blaine.
''On the thirty-fifth ballot sixteen
Wisconsin votes were cast for Garfield
