PATRIOTISM AT A DISCOUNT.

1t is a deplorable and humiliating COLI
dition of affairs when petty j%ealousies
and bigoted p~artisanship are allowed to
smother, stiie all patriotic sentiment a
mong congressmen and national represent
t~atives. In the mad race for preference
in all legislative matters and predomin-
ence of power, public necessities and
national w~ell-being are o~vershadowed
and made to give way to individual jeal-
business and local %prejudiees. Politics is,
apparently, shattered into as many dii-
ferent fragments a there are symptoms
and varying phases of social disorders,
each fragment being governed by the To-
cality in which the wrong, real or imagi-
nary, is supposed to exist. The multi
plicity of so called political factions, each
blindly striving for supremacy, has as it
were, rendered the science Of govern
ment for the moment incapable OF max
ing any advances, or of supplying any
remedy for prevailing political abuses
political improvement along general
lines, seems to have been supplanted by
individual policy and bitter craftsmanship
of a clearly local character. This de-
grading condition of things predominates
in Congress and forms the chief hind
rance to the passage of a measure to re-
lieve the present financial depression.
Patriotism and national pride are crowd
ed ont by local rapacity and imaginary
personal grievances.-Ex.

HATCH and HOLMES ONE.
That Is a Plausible Theory
Evolved by Insurance Men
and the Police.
In Colorado the Swindler Had Sew
eral Narrow Escapes From
the Penitentiary.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 3d.
The police and insurance men of this city
are inclined to believe that the mysterious
"Hatch" so frequently referred to by H.
II. Holmes as being responsible for many
of the crimes charged to the latter indi-
vidual, is not a myth. In support of their
belief they produce some facts which seem
to lend plausibility to the idea that Hatch
is not only reality, but that he was in
the business of robbing life insurance COM
panies before Holmes himself entered
upon that profession.
In April, 1890, one Clark W. Hatch was
tried in this city for the murder of his
uncle near Burlington, Colo. Although
appearances were against him no legal
case could be made out and he was ac-
quilted. A few months later he was ar
rested on charge of swindling the Trav-
elers' Insurance Company out of a large
sum of money. He escaped conviction on
a technicality. but on the trial it was
proved beyond doubt that he had been en-
gagged in series of successful graveyard
swindles. When he was released the in
surance people were ready to arrest him
on new CHARGES, but on the ruling of the
court he was guaranteed safe conduct to
his home before he could be rearrested.
On the way, although he was guarded
and watched by detectives, Hatch man.
aged to escape. Since that time he has
not been heard of. 1t is the belief here
that the Hatch mixed up in the Pitzel case
may be the Hatch of this city, and in some
quarters it is believed that Holmes and
Hatch are the same person and that
Holmes himselfwas the man who was tried
in this city in 1890.
Photographs of the latter are not obtain
able, but picture of the man now in
prison in Philadelphia will be procured
and the question of identity will then be

STEEL C4NAL-BOATS.
ArriraL of the First Lot Built In
Co4nfrH.


NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 30.-The first
steel canal-boats ever built in this country
arrived at o'clock yesterday afternoon at
One Hundred and Thirty-second street,
North River, on their way from Lorraine.
Ohio, to Brooklyn. The feet comprises the
steel steam canal-boat Alpha and FIVE
regular canal-boats of the same material.
When the feet appeared in sight it was
greeted with cheers and the waving of
flags.
Captain Hams, who is master of the feet,
reported that the voyage on the lake and
through the Erie canal was made without
any mishap. The boats are made entirely
of steel. The steamer contains fore-and-
aft compound engine of 120 horsepower
and - capable of towing the feet at about
the rate of six miles an hour in deep
water. The five regular canal-boats are
each SO feet long and IL feet IL inches wide,
with depth of 10 feet. Each can carry 230
tons on draught of feet.
The feet was built at Cleveland, Ohio,
where other boats of the same kind are
undergoing construction. 1t is asserted
that these steel boats will revolutionize the
canal traffic. 1t is claimed for them that
they will do away with the transfer of car
goes from lake steamers to canal-boats at
Buffalo. Canal men speak of an iron boat
that was built long ago, but it was differ
ent from these boats and proved failure.

TRAGEDY AT SAN JOSE.
Mrs. Lizzie Fill Took a Dose
of Laudanum, but Was
Resuscitated.
ROBBED BY HER HUSBAND
He Had Fled From the City With
All Of n er Money and
Jewelry.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 30.--Mrs. Lizzie
Fiji, who resides at 1856 North Fourth
street, made an attempt to end her life
with dose of laudanum yesterday, but
was discovered in time by friends and her
design defeated.
The woman married Robert g.. Fiji in
San Francisco a few months ago. and
about the LIST of August the couple took up
their residence in this city. FIJI told his
wife few days ago that he could find no
work to suit him in San Jose and had de-
cided to take up eighty acres of land near
Olympia, Wash. He thought it inadvisa-
BILE for her to accompany him, and so
packed up his belongings and left. After
his departure Mrs. Fiji confessed to a
friend that her husband had not only left
her, but had taken over $500 of her money,
heI watch, silver and iewelry with him.
AS soon as Mrs. Fiji began to realize that
she had been deceived by the man to whom
she had entrusted her hand and the hard
earned savings of many years of work she
became very respondent, and her conduct
began to raise fears in the minds of her
friends that she would attempt to take her
life. About week ago she took large
dose of morphine, but the drug only made
her very sick. She denied to her friends
that she intended taking her life and
promised not to take any more of the drug
but to bear her troubles bravely. Yester-
day morning the neighborhood became
very much excited over the report that
Mrs. Fiji had again attempted her life by a
dose of laudanum. Friends ran in, and the
woman was walked up and down the room
until the effects of the drug had passed

Great HiIarity Created by Little
Remark From the Aged
Statesman.

FREDRICHSRUHE.G GERMANY, Aug. 81.
Prince Bismarck received four OF the
German-American veterans in his room to-
day and accepted the presents which the
veterans brought over from America Tor
him. The rest of the veterans and large
number of other Americans waited out
side the park walls while the ex-Chancel-
lor received the representative four.
The veterans selected were derren
Schleuker, Schneider, Kalbltz and Jogert.
The four took luncheon with the Prince,
who, wearing a long coat and slouch hat,
welcomed them as they entered the castle
and led them into a room. When the VS.
itors went to the dining-room for luncheon
Herr Schleuker led Countess Won Rantzau
and Herr Kalbitz escorted Countess Won
Kolze.
Prince Bismarck sat opposite his guests
and drank his first glass of wine to the
memory of Emperor William I, with
whom, he said, he was very intimate.
Speaking of Chicago, he said to Herr
Sch!euker, who resides in that city: "If
you're satisfied with your Mayor we will
drink to his health also"
In the meantime Chief Ranger LANCE
had communicated to Prince Bismarck
the fact that the other veterans were out
side. Prince Bismarck Immediately or
dered that the veterans with their ladies
be admitted to the yard. The gates were
opened and the veterans marched into the
yard headed by band of music playing
patriotic airs and accompanied by the
ladies of the party.
Prince Bismarck appeared on the We
randa and saluted the banners carried by
the veterans and addressed the crowd. He
began in a rather weak voice, which i'm
proved after few sentences. He said:
AZ very heartily welcome you here.
You, of course, are now citizens of a new
country, but think there will always be
friendship between your great republic of
States and the German Empire. l do not
see any reason why there should be any
thing but peace, and hope that you will
never forget in your new country your
German native country. I give three
cheers for the United States and the Ger
man Empire"
The cheers were heartily given by the
crowd, after which Prince Bismarck spoke
to the veterans singly, and also addressed
each lady. To Mrs. Sternbach, upon hear
ing that the ship which brought her over
h8dshad a stormy passage, he said: 81 was
only once on the sea, and then 1 was very
Ill. 1 avoided the sea after that"
One OF the ladies told the Prince that he
was so worshiped in America that thou
sands of babies in Chicago were little Bis
marcks, whereupon he replied, "Da kahn
ich aber NIGHTS dafuer." This remark
created great hilarity.
