Mr.. Bayard is an exceedingly awk-
ward predicament. He has been CEN
sured by the House, the mass of the
American people judge him at the least
to have been indiscreet- The President
assuredly will not now recall him. If
he resigns he will affront the appoint
ing power and will play into the hands
of his political opponents. If he re-
mains he will invite further assault
He may conclude to take no notice of
the action of the House, since it will not
come to him officially at all, nor will it
be officially communicated to the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Bayard is an eminent Amer
lean, his learning, craftsmanship and
patriotism are not questioned. The
name of his family is one of the fore
most in our history, and his services
to his country as diplcmatist, legislator
and executive officer have been very
great. In his addresses in England and
Scotland he has unQuestionably COM
mitted error. 1t would have been wiser
for him while an ambassador to have
refrained from criticising before a for
eign audience any political party or
policy of his country But he saw fit
to do otherwise and receives the CEN
sure of the representative body of the
American Congress. Under the cir
cumstances it is probable that he will
say nothing concerning the matter.
The suggestion that he will resign is
| not warranted by precedent, and it
would, as we have said, be discourteous
to the President Even if, asfs asserted,
the President would like to retire Mr..
| Bayard, he can scarcely do so now in
the face of the action of the House on
party lines

cause and do murder in its name.
There is nothing left for the striker or
ganizations to do but lend their aid,
untiringly to the punishment of the
murderers, that their membership may
be taught a lesson it win not be likely
to forget. When that is done there will
still remain the reproach that the cause
of labor has been stained by blood.
The right to strike has not been de-
MED the worker; his right to cease work
rests on precisely the same basis as the
right of another to work when he will,
for what he will. Break down one
guarantee and the other disappears
with it and tyranny and the death of
freedom follow.
The public has no concern whatever
with any explanations that may be
made of this murder. 1t is concerned
now only in the vindication of the right
the murdered man had to labor for his
daily bread without fear, cow or threat
of any kind. When the laws do not
guarantee this right to men, their lib
critics will have wholly departed.

Aims and Strength of the A. P. A.

st. Louis. April 26.-Judge H. ID.
Stevens, President of the A. z. a.,
when his attention was called to
Archbishop Ireland's interview on
the A. p. ~, said:
II have read with interest and
amusement Archbishop Ireland's in
terview on the a. p. A. The organiza-
ton was not formed as a political
party, and will probably never form
a political party, except when the
principles that it stands upon shall
become direct issue.
Our vote we count at 1, 900, 900, but
only in q few ill-advised instances has
the Association ever run ticket un-
der its own name. IL votes for the
best candidate, irrespective OF party,
and stands for purity in politics, and
defy the Archbishop or any one else
to show one instance where the a. Z.
A., having won Il victory, the morals
of politics or the morals of govern
ment were not better for it.
1.-The Archbishop says the princi-
pies OF the a. z. X. are un American.
These are our principles: The total
of Church and State, the
Of our public school sys-
TEN, the restriction OF immigration,
and non sectarian appropriations.
These principles are the foundation,
the cornerstone of the Republic.
They have been upheld by Lincoln
and by Grant. They have been incor-
porated in the platform OF the Repub
lican party, and, at one time, OF the
Democratic party. The danger which
would threaten the Republic if these
were not upheld has been
brought out by Jetferson-by the
great Washington himself.
No man deserving Of American
and of the liberties it in
sures would countenance them for an
instant, says the Archbishop. Then
there is no such thing as American
citizenship, and no such thing as
liberty, and the Republic is a farce
and the efforts of our forefathers to
uphold it have been in vain"

The Wyanoke Sunk.

Newport News, Va, April 2S.-
Shortly before o'clock this morn.
ing, the Old Dominion steamer
Wyanoke, 1900 tons, bound from
Richmond to New York, collided with
the United States cruiser Columbia
which was anchored in the James
riXer, opposite this city, and went
to the bottom thirty minutes after
wards. Captain Jenney and crew
of the Wyanoke, together with
number Of passengers came ashore IN
row boats. Others were removed to
the Columbia. Captain Jenney had
Just relieved the pilot when the
collision occurred. There was no fog,
but Captain Jenney says that cleo
tic lights obscured the Columbia.
There were 107 passengers on board,
30 of whom were in the cabin. The
crew numbered 10. Captain Jenney,
when seen by an Associated Press re.
preventative said that his vessel
struck Just forward of the starboard
wheel with such force as to awaken
all the passengers, among whom the
widest CONSERVATION at once pre-
vailed. As far as can be ascertalned
ut present there were no lives lost,
but it is yet very probable that
several steerage passengers who were
down below at the time might have
gone to the bottom. Purser Burdette
lost his safe in which were all OF the
ships papers and consequently could
not state whether or not all the
steerage passengers had been &C
counted for. The officers and crew of
the Columbia handled the unfor-
tunate ladies and gentlemen with the
greatest care and made 1t as COM
Portable as possible for them while
the work of rescue was going on.
There were three bridal couples on
board at the time who lost their
entire wardrobes and whatever
valuables they carried with them.
Passengers are known to have lost
large sums. of money as we'll as
trunks, etc. The Wyanoke is now
living a few hundred yards from the
shore. The tops OF her two masts and
the top of the pilot house, which was
detached, are visible. The passengers
warmly praise the conduct OF the
officers during the excitement. Capt.
Jenney and Purser Burdette were the
last to leave the sinking vessel and
were compelled to jump overheard
in order TO prevent being carried
down with the wreckage. Mrs. Is.
Frank Ford, Of Jamaica, n. Y, was
the last OF the women passengers to
leave the ship. y hole was made in
the prov of the Columbia by the
Wyanoke.
The Wyanoke was built by Harlan
& Hollingsworth, at Wilmington,
Del, and launched in 1870. She was
of 2,0G7 tons burden. Her extreme
length was 23S feet. Her breadth 80
feet 5 inches, and her depth 81 feet 4
inches. Her official register was
SO, 157, She was side wheeler, and
her cost was 100000. She was insured
for about $150,OOO, and her cargo,
which was valued at 100000, was also
fully insured.

The letter of Senator Daniel pub
lished in this issue will be read with
interest by our people as does every
thing (which emanates from him but as
heartily as they, for the most part con
cur with him in his views on the silver
question, the unit vote will not strike
them as exactly the correct thing.
Their sense of fairness teaches them
that it is not right for those who
happen to be in the majority to say
to the minority, that they shall have
no voice in the councils of the party.
1t may be another instance of the
tail wagging the dog perhaps. for
the minority to have a voice in the
Staunton Convention, but it is better
that it should be so, than that the
prospects of Democratic success in
the next election should be put SER
iously in peril, as it would likely be,
by different course.

The Court of Appeals of Virginia
has passed upon the constitutionality
o. the Maupin anti-gambling act and
upholds it in all Of its material fea-
lures. The only objection sustained
by the court, which was raised by
the counsel for the prisoner, Richard
NJ. Lacey, arrested for violating the
law, was, that the Justice should
have fixed the punishment, instead
Of committing the man for trial by
the county court. OF course, it is a
matter of no consequence that Lacey
was released, because of the mistake
designated. The case was made up
to test the constitutionality of the
act and to determine whether the
States have the right to exercise their
police power for the protection OF
morals and the preservation of good
order" The question being answered
by the court in the affirmative, moth
ing more was expected or desired by
those who wanted the form of gam
bling known as pool-selling pro
hibited. The case being a test one,
Lacey, we presume, would have been
released in any event.

The Republicans of Virginia seem
to favor Gen. James A. Walker as
their candidate for Governor, and it
goes without saying, as he left the
Democratic party because he could
not get the nomination for the posi-
ton from that party that he will
accept it from the Republicans.
General Walker, in fact, is so fond OF
the ''loaves and fishes" that he can
be counted upon as being Gin the
hands OF his friends every time
when they have anything to offer
him. He will accept the nomination,
of course, and some idea of such a
candidate, as he will be, may be in
ferred from the stand taken by
him in the rpe-McKinney contest.
The Democrats of the State did not
have as good opinion Of him as he
did of himself, and he has not quite
forgiven them for their lack OF appre-
citation of his merits. They cannot
think any better Of him now and
when the vote for Governor is count
ed, he will probably be convinced, that
their opinion of him has not i'm
proved.

The publishers of the Baltimore
Sun, as indicated by the article below,
have not very good opinion Of Viz
ginia Republicans, and having Of late
been in close relationship with Re
publicans of the same kind in ''Aty
Maryland" doubtless saw enough of
their ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain" to speak by authority.
The reflections of our contemporary,
whatever it's sources of information,
will be accepted as in the main cor
rect and are suggestive Of the fight
we have on our hands in the next
Presidential contest, and the neces-
sity for acting with discretion when
our own convention meets.
The State convention of the Vir.
ginia Republicans ignored the money
issue altogether and thereby con-
fessed its lack of courage to make an
explicit declaration in favor either of
sound money or of the free coinage of
silver. AS the convention Endorsed
MCA1ulcy dltO U1le JluuueTlDS Udr11
system which he represents, it is
strange that it did not at least go as
far as the Ohio man and straddle the
financial issue. But there is little
principle or consistency in Virginia
Republication. Ii the national con.
vention shall adopt a straightout
gold standard platform, the Republi-
can leaders and spellbinders in the
Old Dominion will continue to advo
cate free coinage in every con.
gressional district in which the silver
sentiment predominates, while in
those districts in which the voters
appear to prefer sound money they
will claim that the Republican party
stands for all that is safest and best
in financial legislation. 1t is this lack
of fixed principles which makes
Southern Republicanism absolutely
unreliable and unworthy of conf
dence or respect. While the leaders
of the party in Virginia have ignored
the most important question before
the people, they will not derive any
benefit from their policy of evasion.
1t is better to be outspoken at all
times, even in advocacy of a bad
cause.

were presented to the House to-day.
The vote in the committee in favor
of Thorpe was unanimous, but the
majority report, prepared by General
Walker, of Virginia, was so extreme
in its reflections upon men and
methods i'll the district that the
Democratic members felt constrained
to dissent from the opinions ex-
pressed. They accordingly filed
brief statement merely declaring
there was nothing in the testimony
submitted rejecting upon either
party to the contest. In this declara-
ton they were joined by Mr.. Codding,

BOUGHT A HUSBAND.
Miss Carrie West Pays Mrs
Susan Harris, of Hammond,
$3.50 For Her Liege Lord.

Miss Carrie West, foster daughter
of the late Judge Stewart, of Delphi
Ind ;, has just figured in sensational
transaction, being the purchaser from
Mrs. Susan Harris, OF Hammond, OF
her husband, William T. Harris, night
operator at the Monou railroad Office,
says an indianapolis dispatch.
Judge Stewart adopted Carrie West
and brought her up as his daughter
He died twelve years ago and left
considerable property, which passed
to Miss West on the death of Mrs.
Ste wart, three months ago.
Harris came to Delphi two months
ago and took rooms at the home OF
Miss West. When the relatives OF
Judge Stewart expostulated with her
she frankly confessed that she loved
Harris, and said that their love for
each other was of divine origin and
they intended to marry as soon as he
could get divorce.
Harris filed suit for divorce and
this brought Attorney Knots, of
Hammond, to Delphi, and through
him it was agreed that Miss West
should pay to Mrs. Harris $3.50 and
the latter should release all claims
upon her husband.
The papers were duly drawn up
and signed by the parties and yester-
day Mrs. Harris was granted divorce
in the Hammond court on complaint
that her husband had failed to pro-
vide for her. Miss West to-day paid
the money to Mrs. Harris attorney
and she and Harris will be married
in few days.
A sister of the late Julia NJ. Stewart
and other heirs, aggravated by the
sensation of the action of Miss West,
have brought suit to set aside the con-
veyances made by Mrs. Stewart to
Miss West, alleging that Mrs. Stewart
was the victim of undue influence
that she was not mentally responsible
when the conveyances were made,
and that they are consequently null
and void.--Louisville Times.
