4 MYSTERY Of THE LAKES.
BODIES of Shipwrecked Sailors SwaI-
lowed Up by Quicksand.

FROM the Buffalo Express.
Many weeks have passed since the
steamer Idaho sunk off Long Point, Lake
Erie, with nineteen members of her crew
on board and not one of the bodies of the
drowned sailors has been found. Some
vessel men regard this as strange, while
others do not

An Imbecile Peer.

The Lord Denman this generation knew
would be harshly described if he were said
to be insane, for he was not violent and
never offended any more than he hurt any
body, but he was certainly of weak-or 1t
least eccentric intellect He attended every
sitting of the house of lords quite conscien-
tiousy, and no sitting passed without his
rising to speak Then very curious thing
would happen. You, as a visitor, would
be surprised, perhaps even little shocked,
to observe that every peer in the house be-
gan at once to talk to his neighbor and to
talk in us loud voice as he could until
the usually somber and spectrally silent
assembly became positively as noisy as the
grasshoppers in big field.
When you looked at the venerable figure
with the hooked nose and heard the nielo-
dious voice, you were positively shocked
that an assembly of nOblemen should show
itself so wanting in the commonest courte-
sizes of life but really there was no choice
in the matter. Lord Denman always talked
insanities or imbecilities, and there was no
method by which he could be kept down
except by the rough and ready method
have described. He made motions. No
body took notice of them. The lord chan
cellor did not even go through the formal
ity of putting them to the vote and having
them rejected 1t was rs If nobody had

A Voice From Texas

Judge C. c. Garrett, chief justice Of
the supreme court of Texas, man of
very great influence in his State, has
written letter to the Galveston News
TO deny the assertions of Mr.. Bailey
and his minority associates, that
policy-of territorial expansion is
violation of the spirit and traditions
of the Democratic party. He main
tains that it is the NEST foolish and
offensive form of suicide for the De-
moci s1y TO array Itself aga nst the
people of the United States who are
for the expansion of their terr torial
Jurisdiction He warns the Texans
that no resolution condemnins i'm
perialism" can prevent the acquisition
of Porto Rico and the control Of Cuba
by the United States as a result of tie
present war with Spain. He maintains
that il is due To the Democratic Larry
that public opinion is fast making cb-
solete the doctrine of isolation; that
if the opponents of the Demo Ccracy had
been listened TO, this nation would ST Ii
be bounded on the south by the Span
ish territory of Florida, and On tie
west by the upper Mississippi.
If the Democratic party is to have
a future. it is to be attained only by
maintaining its best traditions. When
a political organization sinks TO such
d condition that il has nothing POSITIVE
to urge, no ideal To be sought, but lives
only to oppose what others propose. its
lease of life is short and the sooner it
goes under the ground the better for
the atmosphere. OF all the millions OF
Americans, only few have been proof
against the best influences of the war.
The struggle in behalf Of human lib
erty has revived the patriotic santi-
ments, given TO the people a higher
ideal and forecast a glorious dest ny.
No momentary blocking of the way of
progress can ever put the naticn back
where il was less than half a year ago.
We have lived a century since then
and those who have stood still and
now try to force the present into the
narrow limits of the past-to impose
on this people the policy of isolation
and inaction when the worlds greatest
events are impending, will meet with
an early and painful demise. The ex-
pansion the people foresee, the i'm
perialism'' of the timid and selfish, is
the logical end for which this nation
has been in training all its days and il
is encouraging that at the time when
the incompetent urge retreat. such men
as Judge Garrett make their protest
and recall the principles of earlier pa
triots.
