ABOUT COLONEL cRoFroN.

Minneapolis Tribune: For the good of
the military service generally it is to be
hoped that the rumOr of Col. Croft0n's
removal from command Mt Fort Sheridan
is the forerunner of the fact. His nOtori-
GUS lack of %dicipline to say nothing of his
objectionable personal characteristics and
his intolerance of the officers of his regi-
ment, has already resulted in one tragedy
and in the lasting disgrace OF dismissal
from the service of two reputable officers
whose greatest fault seems to have been
they went too far in asserting their man
hood against the tyranny which Crofton
subjected them TO. When the inside his
tory of Fort Sheridan IS written, if ever
it is, facts will be brought to the surface
which will go far towards clearing the rep
utatioss of tho murdered Hedberg, the
alleged insane WEIGH and the unfortu-
nate Pague.
Concerning tho above as digested from
late telegraph dispatches, there is much
surprise among the old time residents of
Mclean County, who remember the many
acts of kindness of Major now Colonel
C%rofton, who commanded at Fort Steven.
son in 1912. He was then accredited q
good soldier, Il judicious officer, and kind
and obliging to the citizens who had bus
mess at the Fort. If there has been such
a great change from that time in Colonel
Crofton's character, it must be accredited
to the asperities of age, or the we'll known
and popular theory of many Psychologists
that mans physical and mental condition
radically change every. seven years, and
that this once gallant and humane officer
has lost sight of himself.
An old ex-seldier now doing business in
s.. Paul, corrobates the LEADER. about
Col. Crofton, at Fort Stevenson, in the
following interview IN Pi~oneer-Press:
"a gentleman of this city, in speaking
of the recent alleged troubles of Col. Croft
ton, the commanding officer at Fort
Sheridan, ILL.,, Gays that he served as an
enlisted man under that officer twenty-four
years ago at Fort Stevenson, Dakota, long
since discontinued RS a military post, and
IN all of his military experience, covering
a period of nearly fourteen years, he ever
knew or heard of an officer spoken of with
such praise by the enlisted men of the
command as was Col. Crofton, then major
Seventeenth United States infantry.
Prior to his assuming command there
we're frequent trials by court martial al
the post, the result in most cases of hasty
aud anwise action on the part of non.
commissioned officers. The enlisted
strength of the companies at the post
nearly one hundred, and it was
al infrequent occurrence to see from
five to thirty men in the guard house as
prisoners, mostly from II company. The
gentlemen interviewed being q member of
that unfortunate organization, he refrains
from giving its letter. A far o pleasant
of affairs existed after the majors
arrival and assuming command.

THE SAILS.

Several weeks ago the LEADER had &C.
casion ia say that it had q we'll founded
optimism that if things did not end in har-
monizing of adverse clements at the Na-
tional Republican convention at st. Louis
the coming June, there would be a Demo
cratic Presidential possibility in the per-
son of plain citizen Robert L. Pattison,
twice Governor of Pennsylvania.
While the declaration at that time might
have seemed chimerical to many-even
among many of our astute politicians Of
North Dakota. who have not kept tab on
outside manifestations The intelligent
editor of the Grand Forks Northwest News
while giving the article in question re-
spectful consideration from his intimate
knowledge Of the see.saws of Pennsylvn.
min politics--poo -hoocd the idea Of a pos
sibilitY of Democratic success from pres
ent direction of the political winds and
position of the weathprcock.
President Cleveland during his admins
trations hus done whatever he safely could
to ignore Ex-Governor Pattison, IA he had
ex-senator Thurman. although in tho
case of each-particularly the ex-Govorn-
or his modesty precluded the possibility Of
- snub from the present boorlsh occupant
of tho white house. and in the person of
the distinguished Pennsylvania. he could
behold fully his equal in statecrnft, M in
the general balance of n safe administra-
tor, and infinitely the Presidents superior
in official integrity, though he might
lack that ungentlemarly swaggishness
and domineering air that belong to a
cotiere of the hangman class.
The experience of the Pennsylvania
Ex-Governor has been that if he could
reach nomination after running the
gauntlet of the trading politicians and
within reach Of the farmers md friends
of good government who could help him
with their votes his success was assured,
and which would follow again in q more
striking degree in ::e larger field of the
contest for the Presidency.
To give our readers the first glimpse of
the coming sail from Delaware waters. we
print the subjoined dispatch from the
Quaker city:
Philadelphia, Jan 23.-;Tho Ledger to.
day started n Presidential boom 70 rex
Governor Pattison, and declares that the
Keystone Democratic delegation will be
solid for him."
The Public Ledger above referred ia an
influential Republican journal but always
supports the Pennsylvania favorite when
when there is a chance to bring him be-
fore the people. 1t was tho Public Ledger
that first brought out General Grant for
the Presidency, and it's head-the eminent
philanthophist, George W. Childs was one
OF the Generals most devoted personal
friends. While Child's now lies in his
honored grave. the course of the paper,
as representing the better elements re-
mains much the same under the manage
ment of the philanthrpis.'s heirs. and
while its prediction of that States Demo
cratic delegation will be not only verified,
but New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
delegates to the Chicago National Convcn-
ton will respond by States and vote for
Pattison on first ballot without enquiring
after the wishes Of Cleveland or his cuckoos.

WRECK OF THE BLA|RMORE
Bids for the Raising of the
Sunken Ship to Be Opened
To-Day.

The wreck of the Blairmore still lies be-
meath the waters of the bay, and it may be
week before it is definitely known how
the six unfortunates who are Gagged in her
hold came to their death.
1t is q matter of speculation among ship
captains. Some say the men were killed
by the falling ballast, and others say they
were smothered in the rush of water. All,
however. insist that in the compressed air
in the hold the men could not have lived
twenty minutes, much less an hour. The
only course that showed particle OF hope
was the cutting of the hole in the side and
had the vessel been on the solid bottom it
would probably have proved successful.
Bids for the raising of the sunken ship
Will be opened to-day, and offers are ex
and Reclamation Company; Healy, Tib-
bits d Co., T. P. H. Whitelaw, Union
Iron Works, Risdon Iron Works, the John
ID. Spreckels Towboat Company and the
Ship-owners and Merchants Towboat
Company. They will probably range all
the way from $4,000 to $50, 900, but as the
question is one of raising or losing, bid
ders will be chary. Should the contractor
succeed he will get the amount of his bid.
Ii he fails he looses everything.
All the different bidders have been out
to the scene of the wreck and all have
made soundings. Some of them have sent
down divers, and they report that the yes
sci lies in an easy position. The topmasts
and upper rigging will have to be rem owed
and then it is thought that there will be
no difficulty in getting the ship on an even
keel. There will be no trouble in closing
the hole cut by the men from the Union
Iron Works, and then after the Blairmore
has been towed on the mud flats she can
be pumped out and the work of repairing
begun.
