London Telegraph.
| One 'of her majesty's men-of-war re-
| Gently paid the annual visit TO Tristan
| d'AcuDah, a small volcanic island in the
South Atlantic to bring home letters
from the little community Of ninety per-
sons who live in that Isolated spot These
have Just reached England, and it ap-
pears from the communications that Peter
Green, the venerable chief OF the island,
is still alive, and has again been instru
mental in saving the lives OF shipwrecked
crews The old mans record OF life
saving on this lonely islet is probably
unique.
The government OF King Humbert has
sent MIR. Green a handsome silver medal
and diploma, together with the sum Of
$500 to divide among his people, in recog-
milton OF the gailantry displayed by them
in rescuing the crew Of an Italian vessel
whicir was wrecked on the rocky shore
of Tristan. The President of the Cnited
States had previously sent the sturdy old
hero n chroDometer and chain as token
OF his appreciation of a similar noble action
in the case of an American vessel.
Green, by reason of his protracted resi-
deDce at Tristan, has become quite at
tached to the Island, aud now expresses
his intention OF ending his days there.
1t is some sixty years since be saw any
of his relatives.
He has latterly become vested with the
duty of solemnIZing marriages, and on
one memorable day "splced'' no fewer
than five couples-two of them natives OF
Tristan, two OF them belonging to Italy,
and one couple from England.
The aged chieftain records with satis-
faction visit TO Tristan d'Acunah from
the governor of st. Helena. who was on
his way to that island, and states that
the latter was successful in putting to
rights his clock, which had stopped for
a long time.
At the urgent request of Mr.. Green,
national anthem" for Tristan has been
specially written by 6. Newman, of Fins
bury road, woodgreeD. The latter had
relative-Captain Anderson. OF the ship
BeBares-who was shipwrecked off Iris
tan in 1868, rescued and succored by
Green, and since then Mr.. Newman has
corresponded with him.
For several years his letters were sent
by ships OF war from the admiralty. OF
late a man-of-war has called there once a
year with mails.

SEWALL WILL REMAIN.

Speaking of the newspaper re-
ports that Mr.. Sewall will with
draw from the national Dem ocratic
ticket, Chairman Campau said;
"Arthur Sewall is the choice Of
the national Democracy for the
Office of vice president. He was
nominated in the most remarkable
and best representative convention
of the party which has been held
in a generation. The supposition
of his withdrawal from the ticket
is too ridiculous to consume time
in discussing. He will remain the
candidate. He will be elected and
he will preside over the senate of
the United States when it passes
the great measure providing for
the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver without reference TO the
wishes and without waiting for
the action Of any other nation on
the earth"

KNOCKED OUT.

Stafford is knocked out for the
present so far as the county seat is
concerned, and we have very little
to say about 1T, except that the
fact of 1t not coming here this year
will not retard the growth Of the
town one iota. Her citizens will
put forth the same spirit of enter
prise and business push as before,
and when the time comes to bring
the question up again will be in
better shape to do so.
The law is in such shape that to
move county seat is out Of the
question, as the name Of any
particular place cannot be printed
on the ballot, leaving it open for
each individual to vote for his
especial locality, and it was
deemed the wiser plan to not
attempt to call an election under
the present law, as there was no
earthly chance of success, and had
an election been called and the
movement been defeated that
would end the matter for -four
years. As it now stands it can be
again considered in two years.
The Borrd of Supervisors acted
fairly in the matter and LAID it on
the table with the consent Of
Safford's representatives.

JUDGE Ross, Of the U. S. Circuit
Court, rendered a decision in Los
Angeles last Monday, in the case
of the San Diego Land and Town
company VS.. H. G. Osborn, which
is of vast Importance to all owners
of irrigable lands IN the west. In
effect he decided that water com
panies are but carriers for the peo-
pie and are charged with public
trust, and that their rights are
controlled by the law of eminent
domain. The state may fix the
rates that shall be charged and
tillers of the soil will be protected
from eXtortion. Neither the cor
poration nor its customers can
abridge this power and no doctrine
of estoppel can be invoked. This
decision is one of the first rendered
in the intrest of the people since
the agitation against class legis-
lation has been inaugerated, and
shows that the tide is turning.

4 GREAT SPEECH.
One that Convcycd to the People
the Exact Issue of the
Campaign.

The audience which greeted Mr..
Rankin at the county fair building
Saturday evening was one that any
orator might be proud Of Scarcely one
person left the room from the time Mr..
Rankin commenced speaking until he
finished, a period of two and 4 half
hours. This statement Is proof enough
that Mr. Rankin furnished desired in
formation in manner acceptable to all
though perhaps all did not agree with
him. Mr.. Rankin does not claim to be
a highly educated orator but he does
claim to know what he is talking about,
and that being workingman from
among workingmen he can appeal to
this class with much better grace than
one who talks theoretically instead of
practically. The papers next morning
gave an extended synopsis of the
speech, but many of the most con-
vinCing statements were neCssarialiy
omitted as the effect of reproducing in
type without giving word for word of
the long speech would not convey to a
reader the force of the remarks as they
were delivered. Our people should at
tend ali such meetings and learn from
the speakers, who are constantly NOV
Ing from place to place, the prospects
for the outcome this fall.

Honesty of the American Voter.

Many entirely honest and intelligent
men have been misled by the silver
talk, and have for the moment Joined
the ranks of the ignorant, the vicious,
and the wrong-headed. These men of
character and capacity are blinded by
their own misfortunes or their own
needs, or else they have never fairly
looked into the matter for themselves.
beng, like most men, whether in gold"
or ''silycr" communities, content to
follow the opinion of those they are
accustomed to trust. After full and
fair inquiry these men, | am sure,
whether they live in Maine, in Tennes-
see, or in Oregon, Will come out on the
side of honest money. The shiftless
and vicious, and the honest but hope
lessly ignorant and puzzle-headed
voters cannot be reached; but the aver
age farmer, the average business man,
the average workman--in short, the
average American-will always stand
up for honesty and decency, when he
can once satisfy himself as to the side
on which they are TO be tound.-From
