A strange Calamity ovcrtnlsrs a Los
Angeles business Man.

Los Angeles, Cal. March SIS. o.
Miller, the secretary OF the Los AnBc-
les board OF FIRE underwriters, felt a
sudden pain back OF his eyes last Mon
day.
He pushed with both hands on his
oyebnlla TO ease the frlRhtful pain, and
blood began TO ooze from his cyelids
ana then the eyeballs were suddnly
prorudc to thc furthoat limits OF tho
muscles and nerves holding them, pre-
scnhng an awful appearance.
When found he was perfectly rigid,
the eyes sticking out OF their sockets
an Inch or more. aud he was uttersng
tho most hcartrending cries.
The ease has puzzled the doctors
gronlty, number OF theories being adj
vnneed. but none 30 far has been ac-
copied ~ proved.
A fracture OF some blood vessel back
OF the eyes Is probably the cause, but
how this wns brought about or why n
should have occurred simultaneously
In ench eye cavity Is unexplained.
The eyes themselves evidently lost all
life at once. for not only was the sight
completely lost. but the eybalA rapidly
showed signs of degeneration, ana to-

IF further evidence were needed to
prove to the people that the bond syndi-
cate has exclusive management of the
couutry's finances it is afforded in the fol.
lowing expression from prominent
treasury official in conversation with
reporter for the Pittsburg Dispatch. He
said: eve know very little of what the
syndicate has done, except in the most
general way, and we know nothing what
ever of what it intends to do. That COM
bination has charge of the finances of the
government, and little is left for the
treasury officials to do, except to record
the results of the bond syndicate when
it shall please the com bination to inform
the treasury of what has been accom-
plished." Republicans of course are not
responsible for the situation, but how do
the Democrats who voted for Mr. Cleve-
land like it? In two years he who was
the Democratic idol has not only brought
the country to disgrace at home but
throughout the civilized world What
must other nations think of a coun-
try that not only turns it's business
over to a syn dictate of money changers,
but allows its citizens to languish in for
eign prisons without making a move in
their behalf.

THE proposition of Colonel Murdoch
to hold an election for the purpose of
choosing a board of police commissioners
for Wichita will hardly be taken seriously
by anyone The metropolitan police law
was passed for the express purpose of
doing away with just that sort of thing.
It was passed to insure an enforcement
of the prohibitory law in just such places
as Wichita While it ia not needed in
Topeka where there has always been
large majority against the saloon, it
serves the purpose here of preventing a
continuous fight over the question, which
always exists where there is an attempt
at what is called "locaI option" such as
Colonel Murdoch proposes. If the pro-
posed election, in which the whisky men
are willing to bet the cost of it that they
will have 1000 majority. should be
held, and they should win their bet the
liquor traffic would still be just as illegal
as it is now and such a result would afford
no pretext for ignoring the law as it
stands on the statute book. While Colo
mel Murdock's proposition looks fair, it
lacks common sense and legality.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 3-Baron
Harden Hickey, sole proprietor. as we'll
as ruler of the small island of Trinidad
by right of occupation, if not discovery,
arrived here last night to await the result
of the contest over the island.
When asked what he would do if the
United States should refuse to recognize
the island as an independent seat, he re-
piled: "That am not prepared to state
further than that l will not give up the
fight even if this government should fail
to give us recognition.
"Brazil, of course became unduly ex-
cited over EngIand's attempted seizure
of the islands and its protests against the
action of England has helped my cause"

diplomatic representative, is in New
York on a mission connected with the
political position of Trinidad.

THE ABODE OF PEACE.
Yet Not Long Ago it Was the Field
of Desperate Conflicts.
BITS OF VIRGINIA LOCAL COLOR.

An All Day Meeting with the Prim-
1tive Baptists-A Few War RecOI-
IectiOns - Familiar Agricultural
SImiIes-Farm W ages.
IN SANFORD COUNTY. Va, July 90
As I rambled through the Wilderness it
CHANGED that early on Sunday morning
I entered beautiful oak opening, in the
center of which and browning a low
ridge is Zoan church, pronounced Zoe
ann. It seemed the very abode of peace.
A few miles to the north was United
States ford, where most of Rockers
army crossed in 1868. Some miles to
the west of it was Germanna ford, by
way of which Grant a year later plunged
into the Wilderness. A few miles east
of Zoan is Salem church, where Sedg-
wick fought the subsidiary battle of
Charlottesville. South of the first great
forest is Chancellor house, and west of
that in turn are the jackson monument,
Wilderness church and the scene of the
rout of the Eleventh corps. In every di-
rection narrow wagon roads pierce the
somber woods. On every road are many
places famous in local history for des-
perate conflicts, and yet this grove seems
of all places in Virginia most fitted for
a temple of peace.
A Basket Meeting.
A sturdy farmer who had brought a
barrel of ice water for the general good
told me the Primitive Baptists were to
have their regular all day meeting, in
Guiding Sunday school, preaching, COM
muniOn, dinner, afternoon preaching
and finally social singing. So here was
an opportunity to once more renew the
great delight Of my youth, ''basket
meeting" as we called them out west,
in the dim woods with all sorts of rural
and primitive people for a congregation.
And by 9 O'Clock they were pouring in
by all the roads and bride paths, foxy
looking lads on frisky ponies, more
steady young farmers on beasts that had
had a day. rest from the pillow and been
curried and brushed into the likeness of
roadsters, young ladies on natty sidesad-
dies, older ladies with babies in arms
and youngsters sitting behind and many
sorts of folks in vehicles ranging from
the old family carriage and modern
nobby buggy down to the farm wagon
and gocart, with leafy boughs twined
over them for shade.
There was an equal variety of dress,
but all were neat, and it gave me pleas
ure to note how fresh and rudy every
one looked. There was not pale or
sa1low face in all the assembly. If fried
pork and saleratus biscuit have ruined
the old Virginia constitution, as some
folks say, there was no sign of it here.
All, if we could have the color and
freshness of the country with the style
and settings of the city united in one
class, what an attractive class it would
+ be I was surprised at the number who
knew me, for people had come from ev-
cry battlefield had lately visited, and
all chatted with great animation about
the weather and the crops, the latest
"fnd'' on the battlefield, the prospect
for better times and plenty Of money
and the relative chances of the political
parties. I was introduced right and left,

A GOOD M0VEMENT.

On the first page of this paper today it
is related that Ex-Governor Click, rep
resentative Democrat and x-Governor
Lewelling, representative Populist. have
endorsed for reelection Judge Martin
who was appointed by Governor Morrill,,
a representative Republican.
The first two have headed a paper
to name Judge David Martin az the can
didate to succeed himself on the su-
preme bench, as the nominee by a nom
partisan petition. These two have
thus asked Governor Morrill, to
unite with them on the man
who appears to be the overwhelming
choice of the Republicans as we'll as of
the people generally, regardless of
party.
Governor Morrill, has taken the sug
gestion under advisement We hope he
will sign. It will be courageous
thing for him to do. 1t will be a
broad guaged action. He may displease
some of the political fxers who want a
convention to help fix themselves, or to
play even with some body, but the great
masses of the Republicans would be sure
to endorse it.
No Republican dares say that Judge
Martin is not the strongest, the logical,
the inevitable candidate-unless wires
are so manipulated as to defeat the gen
eral desire.
The appointment of Martin is the most
popular one the governor has made.
The judiciary should be as free from
partisanship as possible. Courts need
elevating above politics. In just such
actions can respect be increased for
their findings.
Governor Morrill, may well be proud
that his appointment of Martin not only
meets the appreciation of his own party,
but of the Democrats and Populists as
well.
The only excuse for a political con-
vention this summer is personal
one. If the Republicans don't
like the present central com
mittee they can elect a new one to
run the next state campaign. The STATE
JOURNAL is not a great admirer of Chair
man Leland. yet it thinks it ridiculous
move to call a great big state con-
vention to knock him out after
one campaign is ended and before an
other one is on. Cy was elected to serve
two years Let him serve it out or pre-
fer charges against him and GUST him.
Don't call a convention ostensibly to
nominate a judge, but really to let Jo-
seph sit on Cyrus.
If the people don't want to send Mr..
Leland to the national convention next
year they will send some body else.
whether Mr.. Leland fills out his term or
Major Hudson is substituted for him.
