The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1897-11-11

AN election is often a wonderful
eye-opener. For instance, the New
York Sun pretended to be confident
OF the election of Tracy, the Republi-
can candidate for Mayor of Greater
New York. This was before the cleo
ton. The morning after the election
that paper discovered there was a
division in the Republican army
which, it says, was SO solid a year
ago, and that this division twas an
inspiration and an incentive to the
Organized Democracy and they have
taken full advantage of their oppor-
tunity." The Sun, in it's before and
after election comments, illustrates
the idea that hindsight is surer
thing than foresight.

What Cured the Baby.

Hoods Sarsaparilla has cured our baby
of running sores for which we doctored her
for long time. 1t has relieved me of rheu-
matism. My wife was troubled with sick
headaches and could get nothing to relieve
her until she took Hoods Pills.

from the platform to the street, but

down, and was passing the crowd
with his hands in his oyercoat pockets,
when Beaner ran up behind him and
struck him with all his force on the
back of the head. Sullivan fell for
word on his hands and knees. Beaner
sprang on top of him beating him with
both fists on the head and face, when
the crowd yelled give IL to him
Punch - out of him" Sullivan
seemed to have no friends. l ran down
the steps. grabbed Beaner and threw
him off. He ran out in the street, and
| after him. / saw he was getting
away from me and / drew revolver
and commanded him to halt or would
shoot. He stopped, and l placed him
under arrest He said, let me go. bur
CESS: the fellow is not hurt much
Persons who had been attracted by
the quarrel picked Sullivan up. He
was dead, but they did not know it.
Wake up, Sully, old boy wake up,
you're not hurt, they. said. | took
Beaner to the lookup, and at first he
did not seem to realize the extent OF the
crime.
a postmortem examination on Sui
livan's body was held by Drs- Burns
and White. 1t was found that death
resulted from rupture of blood vessel
at the base of the brain.
Beanener now relies what he has
done and is almost crazy. He says he
alone is to blame for Sullivan's death,
and exonerates his companions
Young Sullivan was large, strong
man. and worked at the Union drawn
steel works He was quiet and inoffen-
sive. and had many friends.
Clyde Beaner, the man who struck
the fatal blow, is only about II years
old. His family is very respectable,
and he himself does not bear a bad
name. There were three boys in the
Sullivan family. aud fatality seems
to have existed with them. Two years
ago a younger brother of the man now
lying dead, while trying to board a
freight on the Fort Wayne road, was
run over and cut to pieces, and still
younger brother is cripple for life
from the effects of an explosion OF

Joseph Clyde Beaner, and that Arthur
William Bair was an accessory before |

locked up, and the chief of police made
before Justice James Piper |
charging him with being an accessory In |
the murder of Sullivan.
On Tuesday the body was taken to
Prospect, for burial.

WASHINGTON.

The State Department is already
busily engaged in making preparations
for the American exhibit at the Paris
Exposition of 1900 From estimates of
experts it is calculated that the United
States will spend about 81 00o 600 be
fore the great show is over. II is felt
by the State Department officials and
by all others who are having anything
todo with the United States exhibition
that this country ought to make as
good or better showing than was made
by the French at the Worlds Fair in
Chicago.
The appointment Of John Kasson az
Commissioner of Reciprocity is an ex-
ceptionaly strong one. Mr.. Kasson is emf
nently fitted for the position, being a
diplomat of experience and note.
While representing this co"ntry at the
courts of Germany and Austria, he
brought about commercial relations
between those countries and the United
States affecting our interest most favor
ably. Mr.. Kasson is hard at work or

President Mckinley. in his keenly OBJ

referring to the recent elections, Is re-
norted to have said in Pittsburg: This
ia a pecuIiar election all round. You
see there are 80 many local issues in the
different States that the national aspect
has been lost sight Of In many States
the election has resolved itself into
fight against 'bossism' irrespective OF
of party" This is exactly correct In
every State where there were operson-
al quarrels growing out of the faction
alism incident TO excessive bossism there
has been no loss in the Republican
ranks, and the fact that two former
sure Democratic States like Maryland
and New Jersey are now firmly bound
to Republican fortunes shows the nor
NAL drift of Republican sentiment In
those States where bosslsm is most
marked the lesson taught will be salu-
tary. The Republican party. largely
absorbing the intelligence OF the land,
naturally has the most independent
thinkers and actors. These must be rec
ogn.zed n the future, as they hold the
balance of power. If Rev. DIR. swallow
without party organization and pollu-
cal machinery, can receive ll0,VUO votes
and the head of the Republican ticket,
supposed to be the nominee OF macnlne
dictation, runs nearly 10000 behind ms
companion on the ticket, it is high time
for the masters of political manipula-
ton to ask the meaning of results
There was a decided sensation in
political and official circles in Philadel-
phia few days ago when some city

arrested on the charge of conspiracy
and the issuance of fraudulent natural
ization papers The men arrested are
Eugene Lindsay, clerk in the Prothono-
tary's office, and Richaro Merrick and
John Merrick, father and son, VINO
are clerks for the United States Circuit
Court 1t is said that fraudulent nat
uralization papers have been furnished
to foreigners for SIT each. and that a
considerable number Of then have been
issued. The arrests resulted from an
investigation made by the United States
District Attorney. which was prompted
by rumors that fraudulent papers of
naturalization were being issued from
the Office of the Circuit Court 1t Is
certain that amateur naturalization
mills of this kind are not needed and
it is to be hoped that District Attorney
Beck will succeed in blocking that
branch of industry.

HARRISBURG.

At late meeting Of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board arrangements
were made for the enforcement of the
new law regulating the importation OF
cattle into Pennsylvania. The law
provides that dairy cows and meat cat
Slc for breeding purposes shall, after
January 1, 1898, be examined and tested
for tuterculin before being permit
ted to come into this State except when
shipped in quarantine to destination
and examined at the expense of the
owner by some one appointed by the
board This law was passed because a
great many tuberculous cattle had been
brought into the State. This resulted
in much expense to the State and loss
to owners. In accordance with the act
the board has decided to erect at the
veterinary department of the Universi-
ty of Pennsylvania building for these
tests.
