FATE OF BoLrING PoPULIsTs.

Senator Maxwell, of Duphn, Is stu
dent of Aesop, and that accounts for
some of the happy hits that he makes
when puncturing some Of the Senators
elected as Populists, who show by their
votes and their acts that they have gone
into the Republican party. Yesterday he
showed up the Wakefelds, 0dums, Bar
kers, Earlys, McCaskeys, in true light
by a happy illustration from Aesop He
prefaced his remarks by saying that he
named q man who had been a PopuliSt,
and was a Populist now, as a reply to
other Republicans calling themselves
Populists, who had praised certain candi-
dates who are now Republicans under
the name Of Populists.
Mr.. Maxwell said Il have been fear
full of the future of the Populist party,
and he compared the Wakefelds to GER
tain animal with very long ears who COM
planned that he had to work treadmill.
The animal prayed to Jupiter to be given
to another employer. Jupiter granted his
prayer, and gave him another em-
ployer, who worked him in the burrows in
the day and in the treadmill at night. He
prayed again for another employer, and
Jupiter gave him to tanner, who not
only worked him day and night, but also
put q man on his back to ride him and
beat him. Then the long-eared animal
lifted up his voice and said: What fool
! was to pray to leave my old employer.
Now / am in the hands of tanner who
will not only beat me while alive, but win
tan my hide when dead"
Mr. Maxwell predicted that this would
be the fate of the so-called Populists who
repudiate Populists to vote for Republi-
cans and the gold standard, going from
one master to another till their fate will
DE as terrible as Aesop's long-eared ami
NAL.

A CARD FROM MR.. COOK.

To the Editor: 1 write to ask that you
correct a statement contained in your
last issue, which does me great injus-
tice. In giving an account of the discus
sion in the BrOughton- Young contested
election case, you say, ''Afr. Cook charged
that these high-minded young men (mean-
ing the students who voted were guilty
OF perjury" / made no such charge,
nor did / intimate or insinuate any such
charge, nor did 1 say any thing that
would admit Of any such construction.

a legal standpoint, based upon the deci-
sion Of our Supreme court in Harmon

port and made no allusion to those stu
dents except as to their legal rights.

GAO the House took a recess until $50.
Mr.. Boutelle, moved that the House
accept the other Senate amendments
which he said included nothing important
except three torpedo boats and a practice
vessel for the Annapolis cadets. This
motion was agreed to and the naval bill
was thus disposed of Then the Indian
bill conference report was presented by
Mr.. Sherman, (Rep., n. ~, who reported
that all differences had been settled ex-
cept the sectarian school question and
questions involving mineral lands. The
House then voted to accept the Senate
amendment on the school question and
mineral lands and the bill was disposed
of so far as the House is concerned.
The District Of Columbia appropria-
ton bill was reported by Mr. Grout.
Rcp., Vermont, who stated that the
cOnferees had settled all differences.
The report was agreed to. This left
but two appropriation bills, the sundry
civil and the deficiency to be finished
so far as the House can act and at 1920
the House took a recess until IL O'Clock.
After a recess, Mr.. Robinson Rep.
Pa), made an argument against reducing
the price of armor plate to $500 n ton
Mr.. Loriher (Rep., I'D, said the Hi
noiS Steel Company, if given a twenty
years contract, would furnish armo1
plate at S24O ton. and, would begin

STATE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL

The General Assembly has changed the
name of the Normal and Industrial
School to the State Normal and Indus
trial College This was done at the re
quest of the board of directors, and at the
suggestion of DR.. J. L. NJ Curry, the
agent of the Peabody fund, from which
fund the institution receives a part of
its support
The name was changed partly to pre-
vent confusion on account of its similar
ity to the names of number of other
institutions in the State and for the
reason suggested by DIR. Curry in the
following letter to President McIver:
'The next Legislature should change
your name from school to college. have
a perfect horror of the presumption and
impertinence with which institutions no
higher in rank than the public schools
are dubbed with the high-sounding names
of College and University, and the Legis-
lature should rigidly prevent any more
such misnomers. You have, however,
vindicated your right to be called Col
lege, and your diplomas would be more
highly valued if they bore the name of
College"

Senator Germans manly open letter to
the publisher Of the Baltimore Sun, offer
ing to withdraw from the leadership Of the
Democratic party Of Maryland, if the Sun
would show its loyalty to the Democratic
party, by honestly supporting its candi-
dates, and it's publisher would take the
management Of the present campaign, has
been the most absorbing topic of conversa-
ton. Inasmuch as the Sun has claimed
Senator German to be the only obstruction
to its support of the nominations of the
Democratic party in Maryland, Senator
Germans offer has placed il where it must
present some better excuse for ignoring the
offer than it has yet done, or run the risk
of losing the confidence of many Demo-
Gratis. Democratic sentiment in Washing
ton is practically unanimously on the side
of Senator German in this controversy. In
the open letter Senator German thus de-
fines his attitude towards the Civil Service
law:-"I am unalterably opposed, except
in judicial places, to life tenure of Office.
1t is incompatible with our free institu-
tions. / believe that the highest standard
for admission to the Civil Service should
be honesty and capacity. When appointed,
persons in public employ should be free
from political assessment, but ann unalter-
ably opposed to any rule which will pre-
vent the people, at stated and fixed periods
from changing their public servants"

consul at Zurich. Switzerland, have just
been received at the state department.
France, he says, is but poorly equipped
with telephones, which are in only
102 towns, with 1871 subscribers, half
of whom are in Paris. Switzerland, with
barely one-tenth of the population of
France. has 20, $50 subscribers. The cost
Of telephones is $50 a year In Paris and
$40 to $50 elsewhere in France, and
each subscriber contributes towards OBJ
tanning connection with the system. In
Switzerland the charge is IS per year
and one cent for each conversation Of
three minutes duration. The Swiss gov
eminent operates the telephones.

MURDERED BY ROBBERS.

A Wealthy Farmer Found Bound,

Montrose, Pa, Oct. 21--A. J. Pepper,
wealthy farmer Of Rush, this county.
died yesterday from injuries received
Tuesday night at the hands of thieves.
Tuesday evening his aged stepmother
left him in the barn huslzing corn, and
late in the night awakened from her
sleep and missed him. She made
search of the house and found no trace
of him. She continued her search to
the barn, and near the corncrib found
her son bound hand and foot, with his
skull crushed in. Near him lay heavy
club. A search of his clothing reveal
ed $50, which had not been disturbed.
1t is the theory of the authorities that
he was attacked with the intention of
robbing him and then Iooting the house,
but that the thieves were frightened
away before they could carry out their
purpose. Pepper had the reputation of
carrying considerable money about him
and was in the habit of keeping money
about the house.

there was no indication of his demise,
or indeed any premonition even of ILL

While seemingly in good health, Mr..
Pullman had been complaining during
the last three or four days of the hot
spell and feeling rather uncomfortable.
At 4.S0 yesterday morning he called his

after. The cause of his death was
angina pectoris.
Mr.. Pullman's fortune is variously
estimated at from $12,000,O0 to $50, 00O,-

George Mortimer Pullman was born

the art and mystery of cabinet max

his trade and did chores in a country
store for a time, and when % years old
went into the business of moving and
raising houses. In 1859 he settled in
Chicago at the same business, and a
few years later invented the palace
car, which has given him worldwide
fame. In 1880 he founded the town of

CAMDEN'S MURDER MYSTERY.
shaw's Friends working on Clews {,
Save Him From Snsnfo,lnn.


Save Him From Suspicion.
Camden, N. j., Oct 20.--There has
been revulsion Of feeling In regard
to the position of Eli Shaw. The friends
OF the accused man are beginning to
make their influence felt. and 1t is q
fact that they have men working upon
two clews which may develop import
ant evidence that will lead to other
arrests. Attention is called to the fact
that number Of people were permitted
to ransack the house after the MUIR
ders, any one of whom might have
manufactured evidence against Ell. The
chief of police was told of these things,
and he admitted that the public prose-
cutor had weakened his case by allow
Ing these people to remain In the house.
Coroner Lippincott openly expresses
the opinion that Shaw is not the MUIR
derer.
Young Shaw was arrested last Fri
day afternoon on clews said to have
been unearthed by the police. He
vigorously protests his innocence, and
on Saturday last, when he was taken
to view the remains Of his dead rela-
tives, the scene was most dramatic and
painful. In the presence of the dead he
again and again asserted his innocence.
Lawyer Scovel, Shaw's counsel, was
elected from the city hall last Mon
day, after a lively tussle with the po-
lice. 1t was proposed to have pri-
vate hearing in the Shaw case, and
Scovel objected.
Shaw has been formally committed
by Justice Stackhouse for the alleged
killing of his mother and grandmother.
He was at once conveyed to the county
Jail at Sixth and Federal streets. The
formal complaint was made by Chief OF
Police Dodd.

DISTINGUISHED DEAD.

After Several Months Illness.
O. M. PULLMAN's SUDDEN DEATH.

The Eminent Parlor Car Manufacturer

Inconsistencies.
New York, Oct. 18.-Charles A. Dana,
editor Of the New York Sun, died at his
home in Glen Cove, l.. l., at 1:20 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Dana's death had been expected
for several hours, and his family and
physicians were at his bedside when
the end came. His condition had been
such for several months that the MEM
bers Of his family had kept themselves
in constant readiness to go to his bed
side at any moment. On Saturday
morning he had a relapse, and it was
apparent that recovery was impossible.
Several times, however, he rallied, but
toward night he began to sink. During
the night there were feeble rallies, but
they did not last long. Yesterday
morning 1t was seen that the end was
but a few hours off, and his attendants
remained almost constantly at his bed
side. The end came quietly.
Mr.. Dana was born at Hinsdale, N
H., on Aug. 8, 1873, and when 16 years
old entered Harvard college, but was

The Constitution had righteous spasm
last September on the subject Of fair cleo
tions and at least one half the members of
its party who participated in the Crawford
county nominations three weeks ago are
asking themselves what has become of that
editors honest election principles now.
The editor and the editors party know
that candidate Ridgeway's nomination was
secured by the importation of voters i'm
ported from Gloucester City, and by
methods in other townships that would
not be deemed honest anywhere. Yet there
is no protest either from the Constitution or
from the Republican Central Committee.
Indeed, the latter refused to consider proof
of frauds which candidate Robert M. Bur-
rows, through eminent counsel, was pre-
pared to furnish. There was opportunity
then to defeat the triumph of fraud and
purify the party machinery, within the
party, but that was scorned, and the great
body of the party is now asked to condone
methods destructive of every principle of
justice and political honor.
Will they condone, and aid frauds
triumph? If they do where will it end9
