Hon. George W. Steele, who has rep
resented the Eleventh district of In
diana in the Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, and Fifty
fourth Congresses, has won the prelimi-
nary fight for denomination once more
in his district. His opponent was E. w.
Nicholson, author of the Nicholson
liquor law" and he gave Mr.. Steele
the hardest fight of his life. but at the
same time the most emphatic victory.
Mr.. Nicholson entered into the fight with
the distinct issue that if ne carried the
primaries in Howard County he should
personally appoint the delegates from
that county TO the Congressional conven-
ton. Heretofore delegates had been
elected, The primaries were held few
days ago and Mr.. Steele beat Mr.. Mich
olson by a ma jority of about 500. AS
soon as the result was announced the
county committee held a meeting and
told Mr.. Steele that he should have the
rights that had been offered Mr.. Nichol-
son. and requested him to appoint his
own delegates from that county. He has
done so and this practically insures his
denomination by reclamation. 1T was
said yesterday in the House that this re-
cent victory, if it is indorsed at the polls
next November, will make Mr.. Steele
dangerous candidate for the seat of Sem
ator Turpie, if the legislature to be
elected next Fall should prove to be Re
publican. Mr.. Steele is very popular,
having been elected to Congress easily
after the Democratic party had three
times changed the lines of his district.
He was the first governor of Oklahoma,
being appointed to that office by Presi-
dent Harrison. Other candidates for SEN
ator are Gen. Lew Wallace, Gov. Mount,
Robert S. Taylor, of the Indianapolis
Monetary Commission, and Exon
gresham Frank Hawley.

Mr.. Ray, of New York, is Chairman of
the House Committee on Invalid Pen
sions, and if what a New York member
said yesterday proves to be true, Mr..
Ray may not be renominated next Fall.
Ray" said the member, has made a
great mistake in handling his committee.
He has persistently and consistently OPP
posed every bill looking toward the in
crease of invalid pensions, both in the
committee and on the floor of the House.
His opposition has been so pronounced
and determined that he has excited any
but friendly feeling toward him by the
members from his own and other States.
The old soldier vote in New York State
can carry any Congressional district that
/ know of, and it is particularly strong
in the TWenty-siXth district, which Ray
represents. / am informed that his enc
mics in his own party are carefully pre-
serving the Congressional Records to be
used against him next Fail. and it viii be
a strange thing if all the county papers
do not comment strongly on his antago-
nism to the invalid soldiers have been
assured that his district will be flooded
with circulars which will show the voters
how bitterly he is fighting pensions.

AN HONEST VERSION.

Harry Tedrow of Troop b, Torrey
cavalry. is undoubtedly an honest man,
and has given a fair and impartial ac-
u CT his experiences at the front.
The only wonder is that the Denver
News should have permitted his YER
sion OF the treatment to which the SOL
diers are subjected to appear in its
columns. A picture Of Mr.. Tedrow and
his account of army life appears on
page u OF the Denver News of Sunday
morning, September ID. The rollowing
are a few excerpts.
"We have all had some experiences
that are more agreeable to contemplate
in the past than future, yet l must say
that there are some experiences | have
apparently passed through that l was
unaware OF until l reached the north.
People have looked at me in silent
wonder when l tod them l really had
enough to eat in the army. We usually
stay within II W troop confines, es-
pecially at mess time, and l can only
speak intelligently of the rations is
sued in my W troop. We get awfully
tired of the roast beef and Drowned po-
tatoes and the coffee served UP, yet l
do not know Of a case when there was
a suspicion that the meat was tainted.
Our cook bakes good bread and we
looked upon hard tack as a luxury until
we found worms in the supply on hand,
when we quit asking for it.
THE prunes and the raisins in the
rice which We get now and then may
Be animated, but they are cooked and
We take them on faith. II they are, it
does not affect the taste. We get bacon
and oatmeal for breakfast. There are
mishaps, such as burning of the food,
and then comes the complaints. The
cook, too, comes in for his share ct
criticism for not ringing in more
changes on the bill CT fare from the
rations furnished him. The civil war
evils + still unequaled. although, Of
course, no one expects that they will
be.
When we first vent to Florida our
regiment maintained a remarkable
health record. There was no sickness
except a few cases OF mumps. This ex-
cludes diarrhea, with which every one
was affected more or less. Life in a
semt-tropical chmate in summer, too,
reduced everybody in flesh. 1t was ap-
parently not until August that the gen.
uine sickness began and it seemed to
strike all over a once. There seems
but mi explanation for this. and that
was the filling of the wamps from
the rains. They had been previously
dry. l have been on guard early In the

Mr.. ArnCld's attempt to make the
people believe that the tariff is not an
issue is too silly to demand the atten-
ton of the weakest mind. The last low
'tarrtf bin passed, the Wilson law, was
supported by the democrats and oppos-
ed by the republicans. 1t carried wool
to uae free list and almost ruined that
Industry in the union. The present
taritl, The Dingley law, was supported
NY the republicans and opposed by the
democrats, and under its benign intiu-
ence the price of wool has more than
doubled in this state. Inc difference
between the republicans and the dem
ocrats is easily stated. One party fav-
ors a tariff fCr protection. The other
don't.

who are entirely unused to a damp eli

They have been rescued from these homes
with terrible cuts and scars their bodies.

About a week after she had been taken to

Ended in Tragedy.
A romance OF CHINATOWN ended not long
ago in tragedy. DIR. 20 Sun was an edu-
Gated Chinese physician. In the course of
his practice he found F>ung Hee, little
FOOT girl She had been in this country
but a short time. Bo Sun fell in love with
he. and proposed marriage. She told him
this could not be. as Jung Jim owned her.
Bo Sun finally found that the girl was his
cousin. He managed by his influence to
spirit her away and return with her to
China. Jung Jim hired assassins and one
day In a narrow street of Chinatown, BO
Sun was shot down In the streets Just be-
fore he died he told the story of why he
had been killed.
The various officials of San Francisco
have different ideas of how to break I'd the
Tongs. The mission people believe that If
tie Chinese houses of ill-repute were made
Illegal this would do away with a large in

that ordinary legal methods will accom-
plish little and thinks the police ought to
be allowed to enforce laws in free
handed manner. Lieut.. Price, for quar-
ter of century on the San Francisco po-
lice force. thinks ordinary enforcement Of
the law won't answer. He believes that
the meeting places of the Chinese should
be kept open. SO that passers-by could see
into them. This, he thinks would aid the
police force.

Lieut.. Price is more feared than any man
who goes into Chinatown. Five or six
