less such are the facts, then
it has been custom to re-
elect on officer who has served one
term. II he was defeated it would be
a reprimsnd. He said that q man who
executes the law has a holy trust, a
commission from God Almighty Him
self. A man who connives at turning
loose a guilty man not only commits q
breach of trust to his people, but is
amendable to God who gave him the
trust. The man who knowingly fails
to carry out the law, is moral pol
troon and coward and commits q CRIME
against heaven itself. He spoke next
of the power Solicitor had.
Mr.. Bellinger in concluding said
that if defeated he would not look up
on it as misfortune except to the
law. Defeat for having performed his
duty would be a grand and glorious
heritage to leave his children 1t
would be monument everlasting and
Of which any man might be proud.
Mr.. Duncan and Gov. Evans fol-
loved, and the old stereotyped bond

which simply added little diversion
to what would have otherwise been q
flat, stale and Improbable reiteration
of what every newspaper reading citi-
zen knows already.
Gen. Watts, Gen Richbourg, Mr..
Mayfeld and Mr.. Robinson also spoke
but their speeches were not character
lied by any incidents or any matter of
additional interest to the public.
Congressman Talbert was present at
the meeting. He has no opposition
and it goes without saying that he is
immensely popular in his district
At the conclusion of the speeches,
Mr.. j. z. Murdock offered the follow
ing resolution which was unanimously
and enthusiastically adopted
"Resolved, Tha. we, the Democracy
of Hampton county. have heard the
arguments of Gov. Evans and Mr.. j.
Il. Duncan, touching the bond matter,
and in our Judgment the Governor has
been guilty of no indiscretion, much
less a crime, and that his course in the
entire matter from beginning to end
has been that of al honest man, faith
fully striving for the best interests of
the State"
The Hampton meeting is the last for
ten days. Several of the party are
delegates to the Chicago convention.

Below is the ComptrollerG Generals
report of the assessed value of the rail
road property in the different counties
of the State. 4 comparison of the
assessment of 1895 with that of 1896
shows the total has not been materially
changed. The assessment on some OF
the roads has been increased and on
others decreased. 1t will be seen that
the railroads own about one eighth of

But Lieut. BIanther Is Now Suspect-
ed of Being Murderer
San Francisco, May q. Joseph
Blanther, the suspected murderer Of
Mrs. Philipena Langfeldt, was a lieu
tenant in the army of Emperor Francis
Joseph, and served with such distinc-
ton that he received a special token
of imperial favor, at least four crosses
and decorations of knightly orders.
Decorations and the documents ac-
companying them, found among the
effects of the missing man, establish
these facts beyond doubt. The most
important Of these documents is the
highly Illuminated imperial order of
Dee. II, 1873, comforting knighthood

Steimart. He must have descended
from. good family to get such a berth
as first lieutenant in the archduke's
regiment when only nineteen years of
age. Previous to that he had evident
ly done some peculiarly noteworthy
action, for the highly priced iron cross
of the third order had already been
conferred upon him. Later on, from
other papers found among his effects
it would appear that he was with his
regiment at Bangkok, Siam, with the
title Of major. By some special act of
bravery the attention of King Humbert
was attracted to the knight Won
Blanther.

seven to start up since the strike was
inaugurated, is in operation to-day.
Some of the strikers went to work
there this morning with the under

raise should the demand prevail in the
other mills, but they were soon per-
suaGed to quit. All of the mill man
ayers notified the strikers this morning
that they must return to work to-day
or they would not be taken back.

Under water.

Neche, n. d., May "A. The high
water is now coming on the streets
here. Gretna, on the opposite side of
the international line. is all covered
with water, and for miles around as
well. Hundreds of acres that were
cropped are all under water West
of Neche for several miles it looks
like lake, only an occasional island
being seen about some farm building.
The river last night and the previous
nights oyerfloWed its banks to such
an extent that it has covered about
1000 acres of wheat that was just
put in. The damage will be great. The
probability is that the worst has not
yet come here, but will be felt with
the arrival of the crest of the Red

BISHOPS CHOSEN
the Deadlock In the Methodist Con.
ference In Rrnlrnr.

ACEence Is Broken
cleveland, May 21.-The deadlock in
Tue Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference over the election of two bish-
ops was broken to-day by the selection
Of DR.. Charles G. McCabe of New
4ofK and DR.. Earl Cranston of Gin
elnhati. 1t was apparent when the
uelegates assembled that they were
urea OF the balloting and were de-
termined to bring matters to an issue
dhe pail was set rolling by Rev. G. l..
STAFFORD OF Iowa, who moved that the
eiection OF bishops be postponed in
Qennltely This precipitated lively
discussion and the motion was defeat
ed. Then DR.. A. B. Leonard of Gin
clnnatl moved that in future ballots
the name of no candidate be an
nounced who received less than ten
votes That motion carried and it
smashed the deadlock From the first
the conference had been voting for two
candidates on each ballot, that is, each
delegate had two votes on each ballot.
On every ballot from ore to two hun
dred votes were scattered among a
score OF more of candidates who had
no chance of election. AS soon as it
was decided that candidates must re-
celve more than ten votes to be counted
the delegates saw that the time to do
something had arrived. A combination
was quickly formed On the four
teenth ballot Mr.. McCabes vote
Jumped to 25S from 100 what he had
re- eived on the ballot taken last night,
and DR.. Cranston's from 245 to 261.
That indicated clearly who the leaders
were, and on the fifteenth ballot DR..
McCabe's vote rose to 344, or more
than was needed to elect, while DR..
Cranston polled 1923, or eight more
than were needed and the West and
East had both elected their candidates.
Bishop Walden, speaking of the re-
suit, said it was an Ohio day. Both
OF the bishops elected were natives
or the Buckeye state, and six of the six
teen bishops now on the board were
born in Ohio. They are Stephen NJ.
Merrill, John M. Walden, Isaac w.
Joyce, Charles G. McCabe, Earl Grams
ton and James NJ. Thobu,al. Bishop
Foster. who was retired, is also an
Ohio man.

An American Bill is Passed by the
House.
Washington, May %. After two
days debate the house by the over
whelming vote of 1875 to rs passed the
Bartholdt-McCall immigration bill as
modified by the Corliss amendment.
The Stone consular inspection bill,
which was offered as a substitute,
was defeated-131 to 20. The bill, as
passed, adds to the classes of aliens
excluded from admission to the Unit
ed States all male persons between
the ages of sixteen and sixty years of
age Except parents of persons living
in this country who cannot both read
and write English OF some other Ian
guage. The Corliss amendment added
to the bill excludes aliens who come
across the borders year after year to
perform labor in the United States
with no intention Of settling therein.
1t declares all labor contracts with
aliens void and makes parties thereto
within the jurisdiction of the United
States punishable by a fine of $1,000
OF Imprisonment not exceeding one

and Danford Rep, Ohio.)
The senate defeated proposition by
Mr. German for the issue of 100000,
600 of 3 per cent treasury certificates
to meet the prospective deficiencies.
This was followed by the defeat of
another proposition by Mr.. PETER Of
Kansas for the issue of greenbaclzs to
meet the appropriations made by the
Notifications bill. Both propositions
were offered as amendments to the
Notifications bill, which was passed,
thus leaving but one of the appropfia-
ton bills to be acted on. Mr.. Germans
amendment developed an animated
financial debate with Mr.. Sherman and
Mr.. German as the main participants.
MI. Sherman resisted the amendment
and urged that the proper step was
to pass the Dingley emergency tariff
bill. Mr.. German made an offer to
MI. Sherman that both sides of the
chamber join in nOn-partiSan relief
measure imposing a tax on tea and
coffee, and repeating the rebate on
alcohol used in the arts which would,
he said, add $40000,000 or $50,O00,O0O
to the revenues and would reduce re-
bates by $15000,OOO. Mr.. Sherman
did not respond to this suggestion.
The fertilization bill, as passed, car
ries $40, 763, 1888, or $4,91S,051 more
than the house appropriation.
