THE rank and file of the Democratic
party is becoming dissatisfied with
many of its leaders. Dissatisfaction is
becoming more and more manifest and
outspoken. Ii reaches not only the
lesser lights but especially the United
States Senators. The general impress
sion seems to prevail, and that, too,
with apparent good reason, that quite
a number of the members of the SEN
ate consider themselves lords of crea-
ton. The United States Senate is not
intended to be a House of Lords. The
memberssof the Senate are supposed
to legislate for the best interests of
their constituency. Senatorial cour-
tesy, senatorial greed for money, sena-
torial ambition, senatorial prejudice,
senatorial tomfoolery, senatorial inca
pacity and senatorial what not ap-
pears to combine to hide the best
interests OF the people from view. The
people propose to remedy this mat
tor and only wait an opportunity TO
express themselves ut the polls. II

The Ledger's New Dress.

The MEXICO LEDGER to-day appears
in a new dress. While it is not proud
it feels perhaps something like a gay
girl would under the same circum-
stances. The MEXICO LEDGER starts
in with the new year hoping TO give
better satisfaction even than it has in
the past. During the last eighteen
months the growth of this paper has
been almost marvellous. The manage
ment thought the field was covered,
but new business has come unsolicited
from every direction. The prosperity
of the LEDGER is due directly to the
liberal patronage of one of the most
appreciative constituencies that exists
anywhere. The people of Audrain
County are an intelligent, discriminat-
ing, reading people. The farmers and
business men patroni2e Il local
papers most literally, and the writer
is sure that every dollar spent i'll this
direction is well invested. The nan
agement of the LEDGER appreciates
what the people of this city and county
has done for the LEDGER, and will do
all in its power not only TO show its
appreciation, but to deserve the CON
~tinuauce of this cordial support.

SUICIDE IN A CELL.
Carpenter, Accused of killing Mrs. Black
well, Cut His Throat.

EAsToN, Pa, April 29-Samuoi C. Car
pcnter of this city, accused of the murder
of Mrs. Ray Blackwell of Phillipsburg, n.
J., cut his throat in the cell occupied by
him and is now lying at the point of death.
Carpenter. who is about AZ years of age,
was formerly postmaster at Asbury but
moved to Easton about six months ago.
He is married and has several children,
but common rumor has for q year past
connected his name with that of Mrs.
Blackwell, the widow of a physician for
merly residing in Madison, n. J.
Carpenter visited her on Friday night,
leaving soon after supper. A few hours
later the woman's body was found with n
bullet hole in her right temple and re-
volver by her side, evidently placed there
to create the impression that the woman
had committed suicide. Suspicion at once
fell upon Carpenter. and his arrest fol-
lowed.
At the coroner's inquest sufficient evil
dence was adduced to connect him moro
closely with the crime and he was locked
up. When Warden Walton went to his
cell Sunday morning, ho found Carpenter
lying in n pool of blood on the floor of his
cell with his throat cut from ear to ear.
BY his side was a razor which he had
borrowed from Patrick Morgan a fellow
prisoner, upon the pretext that he wanted
to shave himself.
Morgan, who occupies the same cell,
says that as soon as Carpenter obtained
possession of the razor he turned to him
and said, . am innocent of the murder of
Mrs Blackwell, and want you to tell ev-
erybody 1 said so.
Then he drew tho razor across his throat
and fell before Morgan's very eyes The
latter was too horror stricken TO give an
alarm and sat looking at the apparently
dying man until the warden came Car
pointer had in the meantime become un-
conscious and has not yet been revived.
AN examination of his wound shows that
mono of the arteries has been severed, but
he lost so much blood that his recovery is
doubtful
The razor is thought to have been SNUG
gied into the Jail by some Of Morgan's
friends. Carpenters attempt at self de-
struction has intensified public interest in
the crime and has convinced many Of tho
guilt Of Carpenter
