IN this issue of the Leader we print
communications from Senator C. $.
Dana and Col. Jno. II. Riley, express
ing themselves on the Senatorial situ-
alton.
Both are aspirants for the honor of
becoming one of the Ninth-Fourteenth
District Senators, and both are good
men, of uneuestioned ability, upright
ness and Republicanism.
Political honor to them, generally
speaking, has been about the same
each has served as chairman of the
Washington County Executive Com
mittee and each has had Legislative
experience Senator Dana, in Ohio,
Col. Riley in West Virginia.
These two gentlemen constitute an
EN- mbarrassment of riches for Washing
ton county, and one of them must be
settled upon as our county's candidate.
Washington must haye one of the two
Senators to be elected, and he must go
TO the convention strong with the sup
port of his entire county Both gentle
men are disposed to play fair in the
ma tier, and we believe will consent to
have the people say which it shall be.
The justice of popular election can
not be questioned.

five years the island will be thorough

dwell within its precincts five millions

MALARIAL PARASITES.
Fatal infectious Disease in India nnt
Africa.

Africa.
The tsetse fly disease of Africa has re-
Gently been shown by the researches of
Bruce to be due to q flagellate infu-
scrium which Is found in the blood of
infected animals, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. This disease is fatal to
the OK, the horse, the dog, the sheep
and the ass, but not to the indigenous
wild animals in the region infested by
the tsetse fly. The researches of Bruce
indicate that the fly acts as carrier of
the parasite from diseased to healthy
animals. lie has shown by experiment
that after feeding on the blood of an
infected animal the tsetse fly can COM
municate the disease to healthy ami
NAL by its bite. After short period of
incubation the haematoza appear in the
blood concurrently with the develop
ment of fever and followed by rapidly
progressive inaemia, dropsy and death.
The so-called "surra disease" which
prevails in certain portions of India, is
believed TO be due to similar parasitic
protozoan (trypanosma evansi). Ac-
cording to Lingard this infusorium ex-
lists as an innocuous parasite in the
blood of rats in India. 1t is not catho-
genie, or only feebly so, for the native
OK of India. but gives rise to fatal in
fectious disease in horses, dogs and
camels.

When Sherman RetireS
the Editor Would
Like the Place.
However, the Views of the
President Are Yet to
Be ASCertained.
Assistant Secretary Crldler VIII
Not Retract the Charge Against
the Jubliea Embassador.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 26.-There
is apparently no basis for the report that
White law Reid will succeed Sherman as
Secretary of State beyond the general be-
lief that Sherman will be compelled be-
cause OF illness and increasing feebleness
OF age TO resign before the hard work of
autumn begins; not that Sherman in any
event will be expected to take an active
part in this work, for it is well understood
his duties are purely perfunctory, but be-
cause it will be necessary to have strong,
vigorous man at the head of the depart
ment to deal with important diplomatic
questions sure to arise. Judge Day is the
actual working head of the department,
but this anomalous condition Of things
cannot last throughout the administra-
ton. For this reason, and because he is
at present in i'll health, the report th at
Sherman will soon retire is quite generally
believed.
AS to the probability OF Whitelaw Reid
succeeding him, the members of the Cabi-
net profess to be entirely ignorant of the
subject. Reids personal friends do hot
deny he would like to be member OF the
Cabinet 1t is not thought likely that
III OHiO anu NEW IS SUN dS
to bring about Reid's appointment, even
should the President be disposed TO add
to the honors Reid has aIreao oy enjoyed as
special EN- bassador to the jubilee. 1t is
understood the President feels he has dis
charged whatever obligations he owed to
Reid by that appointment. Moreover, the
annoyance caused in the seal fisheries ne
gotiatons by the premature publication
of Embassador Fosters letter to EN- mDas
sador Hay, signed by Sherman, has left
it's marx. Third Assistant Secretary of
State Cridler has not retracted the charge
that Reid is directly responsible, thus be-
traying the plans OF the administration
at an inopportune moment, and it is un-
derstood he will not do so.
When Reid arrives in few days he will
proceed to Lake Champlain to make a
personal report to the President OF his I'M
pressions at the jubilee. At the inter-
view something may be learned CT how the
President regards the desire of Reid for a

HIS BETTER SEVEN-EIGHTHS.
A Kentucky Editors Leading Article
ON His Mife,s Merits.


His Wife's Merits.
Many of my friends have asked me, and
a few strangers had the curiosity to write
and inquire: 'Whv is it that you always
speak OF your wife as your better seven
elghths2' In this brief article l will en-
deavor to explain, and l use the personal
pronoun that the readers of the Hazel
Green Gazette may the better understand
me. In Christian iortitude she is as a
fortress capable of withstanding any fusiI-
lade; | but rlfie-plt with many un-
guarded gaps, in comparison. Her faith
is that of healthy tree in full foliage and
fruit; mine like a tree blasted, with an
occasional sprout that lends hope of
fruition, but so frail that the first cold
wave of desponden cy deadens and with
ers it.
AS a neighbor she EN- bodies those quail
ties expressed in the words of the Master
DO unto others as You would that they
should do TO you; | am content TO do by
him as we'll as he has done by me, and too
frequently fall short OF that standard. AS
nurse she is a sister OF charity, reared in
the garden of Gethsemane or in nun
merry of Nazareth, shedding sweet sun
shine through the sickroom; | both inn
almost supernuman energy, she is liv-
ing type OF the busy bee; l, not SO en-
riched, am too frequently drone of
disappointment. The day is never so dark
but the bright light beyond beckons her
on as a beacon of hope; dependency
darkens my vision and obscures from view
anything favorable the future might show.
Thus in all the nobler attributes of life
sne towers above me as The forest pine
boye the stunted fig bush. During q
continuous companiouship OF over twenty
two years l have been sensible of these
superior qualities, and [ have been always
honest enough TO say so. She com bines
characteristics quintuple in quality. and
in her affections assumes the place OF
mother, wife, sister, friend. All in all,
she is the apple of my eye, my best be-
loved, in whom l am well pleased. Such
IS my wife as I see her and have known
her all these years. She condones my
faults, finds excuses for my errors, SYM
pathizes with me in sorrow and strength
ems me in adversely. Hence, l say, 'our
better seven eighths," such as she will
ever be to me!

realized that the expectation of witness

thing which procured him the honor oi

One anxious m orning, at time hen war
was thought to be imminent, on sending
round to headquarters it appeared that
the general and all his staff had

no man would say whittier. No orders

Joint represen tation WAS made, and he was
entreated not 10 allow this kind of thing

tence and promised timely warning OF

1t may be interesting to mention that
Edhem Pasha, the central figure of this
little world, Is about 45 years of age,
although he looks older. He IS
rather above nlddle height, any
wears a short, thick black beard, alreadd
f1ecked with gray. His nose is straight
and rather long, but his most inter
esting feature is his gray eyes, which are
large and intelligent. His manner is very
attractive-a mixture of that courtesy and
dignity which are not uncommon anon q
Turkish officers. He does not strike ont
as strong man physically. though l am
told he is hard worker and does not
spare himself. His manner of talking
is, as a rule, quiet and marked by
much refinement and gravity. but
it grows animated when subject

with enthusiasm. 1t is difficnlt TO Judge
of mans sense of humor through The
barriers OF q strange language. His style
of lie is simple, and he has none OF the
Oriental love OF display. In char
acter he seems to be straightforward
and sincere, frank and truth-loving.
