Man Who Murdered Cashier Birch Dies by
the Hempen Collar.
CHICAGO, June Cone minute after Il
o'clock yesterday Joseph Wfndrath was
hanged in the north corridor of the coun-
ty jail, thus paying the laws penalty for
the murder Of Carey B. Birch, cashier of
the West Chicago Street Railway COM
pany at the Armitage avenue office. Moth
ing had been left undonc to save his life
and the most plausible plea put forward
was that he was insane. A jury decided
him sane after hearing the usual contra
dictory expert evidence. The prisoner did
pretty good insane act, at any rate, from
tho time he was convicted until the rope
choked his utterance.
His plan was q wild shout of Hang up
Mannow (his accomplice in tho murder);
'Put him in the bad box" II don't want
that hat''-these were his cries when he
was saying anything and he was shouting
them as he went through the trap. just
before the execution he made several os-
tensible attempts to butt his brains out,
but he didn't hurt himself. He was al
ways thief and bad man, according to
his biographies in the papers here.

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS.

Palmer Takes Occasion to Comment ON
Politics in the Prairie State.
After Morgan had spoken and reiterated
what he had said in open senate his reso-
lutiOns went to the calendar and the open
session was resumed, the bill for consti-
tutional amendment for popular election
of senators being taken up. Mitchell of
Oregon argued that the reform would do
away with the pool room debauchcry of
primaries, eliminate the influence of local
bosses, minimize the influence of wealth,
create q closer relation between the people
and the senate, and overcome the element
Of monarchy and aristocracy in the present
system. The measure was supported also
by Perkins of California.
Palmer, in responding to . suggestion
Of Chandler that he (Palmer) might not
be returned to the senate, asserted that
new issues had risen since his former cleo
ton after popular canvass. ION these
Issues have the misfortune to differ with

is stronger than the people remains to DO

throughout his political life he never had
submitted to the machine. Like Sir
Roger de C0vcrly, he had come into fash
ion about every ten years, and just now he
WINS out Of fashion. He was no longer in
the political field. He had, he said, played
his part In state and national affairs, and
ut all times he had insisted on acting as a
free man. At this late day it was not for
him to submit to the domination IF n

ton is as to the size Of the majority.
Our appeal is: Let this majority. be
as large as possible; let it not be in
ferred that the thoughtful men Of this
State intend for a moment to daily
with doctrine that, no matter how
seductively presented, contains the
elements of unsoundness on the cur
rency question, of private greed and
of public dishonor.
Let not the faint of this false doc
trine be found in our own county of
Hancock, nor in our city of Ellsworth.
Let personal differences, if there be
any, be set aside fSr the greater good
of the greater number, and let all join
in mighty effort to rebuke at the
ballot box this unrepublican, undemo-
cratic attempt, no matter how sin
cere it may be, to set the hands Of
progress backward, to ignore the ex-
perience of all time, and set at def
ance the simplest truths of political
economy and finance.

\ Populist Rally

The first populist meeting of the
campaign was held in Hancock hall
last Saturday evening. L. c. Bate
man, of Auburn, populist candidate
for governor, was the speaker. The
band didn't play; there was no need
of band; Bateman made all the mu-
sic that was necessary, in spite of the
fact that it was in a woefully minor
key.
Mr.. Bateman is an interesting
speaker; at this meeting he was I'M
fortunate in being SO hoarse that he
spoke with great difficulty. But
speaking under difficulties is one of
Mr., Bateman's strong points; he has
got used to it. and his audience didn't
mind, for it listened attentively for
quite two hours.
The speaker said nothing that he
has not told an Ellsworth audience
several times before, unless il was his
emphasis of the allegation that every
body in general, and the State OF
Maine in particular are a little worse
off than ever. and all are going to the
demnition bow vows at two-twenty
gait; that it is now only a question of
a very short time when the farms of
Hancock county will be turned into
deer parks and owned by the bankers
and brokers and coupon cutters and
robber barons OF Ellsworth.
All this, regardless of the fact that
a dozen or more prosperous farmers
of this vicinity were looking him in
the face and smiling at his preposter-
Gus statements.
Those of Us in Ellsworth who We're
around here twenty FIVE years ago
know of our own experience how ut
terly absurd were many of his state
ments regarding trade and wages,
and the general condition of the COM
munity, and knowing it, it is hardly
worth while to offer any refutation of
them.
Everybody who knows Bateman
knows he is a royal good fellow, and
as a platform orator he is highly en-
PERTAINING, but it is not often that
anybody makes the mistake of taking
him, or what he says, seriously.

Death of Judge Dutton.

With saddened heart and Borrowing
pen we have to announce the death OF
our esteemed fellow citizen, George
P. Dutton.
After a long and lingering illness,
the death messenger came at 7,30
O'Clock last Tuesday evening, and
summoned him from this to the other
and happier life.
Mr.. Dutton was well known in this
his native city, and his life and char
acter were we'll known to all who
know the history of Ellsworth.
Born upon the soil of the State that
has produced many of the honored
and admired men of this country, his
life was consecrated to the same prin-
ciples which gave them rank among
the honored Of the State and of the
nation.
AS mayor of his native city, he took
a great pride in the advancement of
her interests, and among the deepest
regrets of his life was the feeling of
restraint he had that he could not
carry out his plans for the improve
ment and progress of Ellsworth.
A good man has gone, and with
bowed heads and slower steps men
walk our streets, and with hushed
voice and friendly feeling his many
kindly acts are mentioned.
The community has lost one who
was ever devoted to its best interests;
the church one of her earnest mem
bers; individuals have lost a sympa-
thetic friend and neighbor, and his
stricken family the truest and mos'
earnest of protectors.

Smash the Thing Once for All

If Mckinley and Hobart are elected
by only small majority, the issues of
this campaign will continue to be
agitated and business remain in an
unsettled condition for four years
more, and the battle will have to be
fought all over again in 1900.
What is wanted, and what every
republican and every true friend of
good government should help to
bring about, is such an overwhelming
majority, both in the popular vote
and in the electoral college, for Nc
Kinley and Hobart, honest money,
public prosperity, and constitutional
government, that no other party will
ever dare to make a national cam
paign on platform favoring debased
currency, reputation OF debts, public
and private; attacking constitutional
government and favoring anarchy by
implication, if not in direct words.
Let the seal of public condemnation
be so indeIbly placed upon the Shiny
serpent VI ulslrusl, ndtcHeu ny tHe
cranks of populism and nursed into
dangerous activity by the democratic
national convention, that all the
world may understand, once for all,
that money may be safely invested in
the United States with the certainty
that all obligations will be honorably
met.
When that is done, the foundation
will have been laid for an era of pros
perity that will exceed anything our
country has yet experienced.
