MEMco's SAVIOR.
President Diaz To-day Enters Upon Ills Fourth
Term as President Of Mexico.

CRY OF MEXICO, December L.
President Porfirlo Diaz entered to-day
upon his fourth term as president OF
the republic. Four years hence, II his
life should be spared for that period. he
will announce to the country that he is
not candidate for reelection. 1t was
his intention to have made such q
statement when formal announcement
OF his reelection was made last month,
but on the suggestion Of some Of his in
innate advisers he refrained from so
doing, although the draft Of an ad-
dress setting forth his final and irrevo-
cable decision to retire to private life
four years hence had been prepared.
Porfirio Diaz has presided over the
destinies of the republic of Mexico from
1877 until the present time, with the
exception of the interregnum between
1880 and 1884, when on account OF in
ternal troubles he transferred his
authority to General Manuel Gonz llez,
secretary OF war, and made success
ful canvass for the governorship Of
Oaxaco. lie was born on September
18th, 1880, and consequently. when
the term upon which he enters to-day
expires he will have passed the age OF
three score and ten. He takes the
ground that should he survive to the
age of seventy he will be justified 10
retiring to private life and in spending
the few years that remain to him In
peace and repose.

Il Bulletin Ill a. ma report has

have been drowned at Durand, off
Chippewa river.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. december l.
The ice gorge remains unbroken
here, and water is now running over
the lower secticn Of the city and stead
lily rising. All hope of breaking the
gorge has been abandoned, and all at
tention is given now to the saving of
household goods and merchadise. Ev-
cry team 10 the city is kept busy NOV
ing people to places of safety At 8
O'Clock this morning, the water had
crept up to the bridge aad to the post
Office, TWO blocks from the river. The
river is now twenty-five feet above low
water mark. The Wisconsin Central
tracks are covered with water two feet,
and the Omaha tracks are used in the
tranfer of trains at Eau Claire. Dun
can creek, tributary to the Chippewa
river, has also done much damage, as
the water is backing up from the river
Many narrow escapes are reported, and
an increase Of loss is expected.
The town is now deserted; the cold
continues intense, five degrees below
zero, and there is much suffering. The
report that another gorge was forming
at Little Falls, thirty miles above here,
was brought in this m ,rning, and in-
creased the panic, as in case of its
breaking suddenly, the whole city will
be swept away. The report from Du-
rand, that thirty people lost their
lives, cannot be verified. and is pos
sibly greatly exaggerated.

killed, including captain and lieuten-
ant. A lieutenant and twenty-five

A very peculiar circumstance. which

A very peculiar circumstance, which is
probably the only circumstance Of the kind
eyer recorded, prevented a possible loss of
life by the breaking down Of an engine on
the Missouri Pacific road, few days ago.
Engine iS4, broke down. near Muscotah,
Atchlson county, as result of the break.
ing of a portion of the aange of one of the
driving wheels. The broken part of fange
flew backward, striking the air hose and
cutting 1t. This brought the car to sud-
den standstill and probably averted serI-
GUS wreck, as the engine was running at q
high rate Of speed. No one on either the
engine or car we're injured.

LAST APPEAL!
Which Shall it Be, Watson or sewa,l I

Which Shall it Be, Watson or SewallP
The populists claim that the democrats
should retire Sewall, while the democrats
think Watson should come down. From
this we all reasonably conclude that Bry-
an should have only one running mate.
Shall it be Watson, or shall it be Sewall?
This is an important question: and should
be fully settled in the mind of every re-
former and settled in the interest of
reform by election day. The thoughts
and suggestions offered on this line are
especially intended for the careful and
prayerful consideration of those who in
tend to support Mr. Watson. l have too
great respect for the intelligence of those
gentlemen than to suggest that the race
will be between the Bryan and Sewall and
Mckinley and Hobart tickets. This is a
foregone conclusion, and needs no argu-
ment. Therefore. it is an evident fact
that to vote the Bryan and Watson ticket
will weaken Bryan's chances and thus aid
Mckinley. Remember, my brother-lis-
ten: He that gathereth not up scatter
eth abroad"
And this never has been more forcibly
illustrated than it will be when you vote
the Bryan and Watson ticket. I meet
some who think the votes on the Watson
ticket will be counted for Bryan, as those
on the Sewall ticket. To all such say
you are laboring under very great mis-

SENATOR PUGH SAYS
That Mr.. ClaUon's Election Is Assured and
That the Next House Will
Be for Silver

Senator James L. Pugh returned yes
terday from southeast Alabama, where
he made three speeches, and is stopping
at the Morris He said Clayton's election
is certain-there can be no doubt about it.
The removal of Clayton from office by the
administration would have it's effect upon
the people. The administration allowed
Carlisle, Herbert, Screws and other office
holders to take active part in the cam
paign, but drew the line on silver men.
The senator said he was confident the
next house would be for free silver,
whether Bryan or Mckinley is elected
He denounced the attempt made by the
New York World to show that the senate
two years hence would be opposed to free
silver. The senate is now and will be for
free silver. The cause of free silver is
growing, said the senator; 1t has ad-
vanced so per cent since the Chicago con-
Vention. 1t has grown since the debate
in congress in 1893 on the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman law
the greatest debate that ever took place
in any deliberative body in the world.
Senator Pugh was himself a prominent
figure in that great debate. He took the
position that the silver men should hold
fast to the Sherman law until they were
assured of a substitute favorable to sill
Yer. He held that the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law was coigno or
vantage that should not be relinquished,
and that so long as 1t was in force it put
the gold men on the defensive.
Speaking of Watson, who arrives in
Birmingham today, Senator Pugh said he
did not think Watson's candidacy would
have any real or presumptive effect on
Bryans chances. He thought Watson
would be ignored, and in fact that his
campaigning of the country was way he
had of amusing himself.
Senator Pugh will remain in the city
today. He is looking WELL and is in good
spirits

OUR LETTER BOX.

Birmingham, Oct 20, 1896.
To the State Herald:
Referring TO your editorials on the sub
ject of the commissaries, l will say that
Mr.. Lipscomb, shortly after his election
commenced an examination of the sub
ject and consulted the writer as to his
views. l am informed that a meeting of
all the members of the Legislature from
the county has been held and a commit
tee appointed to frame a bill to meet the
necessity. I have advised that the pro-
posed bill be submitted to the leading OPP
ponents as well as those favoring the
commissary system, and suggestions
from both sides received.
Since there are only a few counties in
the state to be affected by the proposed
legislation, the writer, who is inclined to
be conservative, is of the opinion that no
extremely radical measure can be passed,
and that a difficult task is imposed on our
members, when they are expected to
please constituents who hold such diverse
views. The writer suggests that the pro-
posed law be framed and published in the
city papers in advance of the meeting of
the Legislature, so that it can be dis
cussed Unless the bill has the unani-
nous support of our delegates, it will
likely fail. OBSERVER.
