SEVERAL YEARS ago, before the
soundness of Mr.. Sherman's mental
faculties was questioned, he said ne
would do all he could to add to the
strength and prosperity of his country,
but not a thing to add to its dangers
by the acquisition of foreign territory.
That he still has lucid intervals is prov
ed bv the fact that he now says, this
country was the aggressor and is the
victor, and that the victor should be
magnanimous. Mr.. Lincoln, when told
that General Grant was drunkard,
said he wished some of his other COM
manders were similarly afflicted, or
words to that effect. 1t would certain
w be better for the people OF this coun-
try If those at the head of their govern
meut had the same sort of paresis that
Mr.. Sherman is said to be suffering
from.

TRAGIC DROWNING CASE.

Marion Strailman and Bernard
Gouker were drowned while swimming
in the Monacacy river, near Frederick
Junction, Md, Thursday night at 8
o'clock. They were with a party OF
friends who went out to set hooks
about half mile above Frederick juno
ton, and as it was yet early and all be.
ing good swimmers they suggested tax
il g a swim at point known as Seven
Pines, several feet up the stream, which
is over fifteen feet deep and only nine
wide. 1t is known as a treacherous
locality, and frequently called the sue
ton hole, on account of its strong un-
dercurrent, which has already carried
several persons down to watery grave
Strailman, Gouker, and a young man
named Shank, from that locality, walk
ed out in the river toward this danger
Gus point up to their necks in the
water. Then they were seen TO go down
suddenly and as they arose cried for
help. Michael Bowers, who was stand
ing on the shore, plunged in and rescued
Shank. He also rescued Mehrle Hite-
shew, who, on going to the assistance
Of the others, was overcome by the cur
rent and narrowly escaped drown
ing. Young Gouker and Strait
man were the farthest from the
shore. They were seen to go
down twice and each time they
arose appealed for help. Gouker's
father, who stood upon the shore, was
unable to render any assistance, as he
could not swim. He had to stand there
in full view of his son as he sank out Of
sight. After rescuing the two men
Shank sank down on the bank in an
exhausted condition, and it was some
time before he regsined consciousness.
Woodward Roberts, an expert swim.
mer of Frederick Junction, was sent
for, and coming with his boats and
graphing irons soon succeeded in bring
ing the men to the surface. When
brought up with the hooks the bodies
were caught by the arms. Their hands
had become clnched and firmly b. Id tc-
gether, forming hoop. The left side
Of Strailman was all drawn up, indicat-
ing that he was taken with cramps.

A New Steel Method.

CHICAGO, July 30-Chicago capital.
lists are engaged 10 developing a new
method of producing steel which they
believe will revolutionize the tool steel
business. Their claim is that by the de-
velopment OF WHICH they have obtained
control all tools requiring an iron body
for strength and steel edge or cover
ing may be produced in one solid piece
aud at one-six b the cost of the old
method. Tie converting is done by a
chemical process which of course is
secret and requires but six hours
time, whereas the old method requires
from six to eight weeks to convert
iron pigs into steel.

THERE Is no doubt of the fact that
comparatively few persons interested
in Cuban, Hawaiian and Nicaraguan
schemes, and the yellow journals and
such other newspapers as though orig
inally opposed to all those schemes
were led by self interest, or by desire
to be on the strong side, or by other
malign influences, to support them, SO
operated upon the ignorant, prejudiced,
and gulIible people of this country as to
induce them to believe that all they
were most in need of was war and
territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and the I'M
mense outlay Of money such results o.
jingoism would necessitate; nor is 1t
less plain that the same influences
are now at work to retard the consum-
nation of peace.

AN EXPENSIVE detective service Is
maintained in order to keep Chinese
out of this country, but thousands OF
them have just been admitted to citi-
zenship by the annexation of Hawaii
This looks very much like closing the
spigot but opening the bungnole. But
nobody can tell what fantastic tricks
war may play. And then, too, though
the public debt of a country, in the ma
ture of things, is assumed by those who
conquer and possess its territory, the
United States say they will not pay
the public debts of Cuba and Porto
Rico, and that those to whom those
debts are due will have to whistle for
them. They will, however, pay the
public debt of Hawaii. But what are
debts among friends!

ACCORDING to the latest givings-out
Of the administration, hostiliiies with
Spain are not to cease until the Span
ish troops have been withdrawn from
the West Indies. This must mean
that until the last soldier Of Spain shall
leave the Spanish possessions in the
West India Islands, though arrange
ments for Withdrawing them be in
progress, fighting shall continue there,
and American troops be subjected to
the prolonged danger of death from
Mauser rifles and yellow fever. Surely
this would not be in accordance with

masses OF the honest and fair-mainded
people OF West Virginia would heartily
approve OF some method OF abolishing
this evil, q method that would give all
the people voice, Indirectly, the poor
and the laboring man participating
equally with the rich in the selection
OF q United States senator, which would
remove the cause Of so much complaint
OF our legislative bodies. and enable
them to devote their time for which
they are paid by the people to the work
they were elected for. OF course, every
Intelligent person knows that according
10 our present laws the people cannot
elect a United States senator By a d.
rect vote. but by adopting Mr.. Mason's
plan they can meet In q convention
composed OF delegates selected by the
people, where all shall have q voice

AFFLIcTIoN OF A FAMOUS TUN.
MEL BUILDER.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Z. : Adolph
sutro. ex-mayor OF San Francisco, the
builder of the famous tunnel. has been
adjudged mentally incompetent by Su-
perIor Judge Belcher. His daughter.
DR.. Emma Sutro-Merritt, who has been
in constant professional attendance on
her father for many months past, has
been appointed guardian OF his person
and estate, her bonds being fixed at
100000. Her two brothers and her SIS
ter, who reside In this city, became
sureties OF the bond. Mr.. Sutro Is over
eighty years old, and the loss OF his
mental faculties is attributed to the
weight OF years, combined With the et-
fects OF two strokes OF apoplexy which
he has suffered within the past few
months. The petition to have his
daughter appointed his guardian was
made BY Col. Little, manager OF the
Sutro properties, after the members OF
the family and their attorneys had Ge-
clded that such step was a necessity.
