Is There More Evidence.

The inference from the resolution of in
quiry introduced into the House by Repre-
sentative Fleming of this state and pub
lished in our dispatches yesterday, is that
all the testimony bearing upon the Maine
disaster was not sent TO Congress along
with the Presidents message relative to
that matter. Mr. Fleming avoids the 1ues-
ton as to whether the testimony supposed
TO be suppressed strengthens or weakens
the belief that the destruction of the
Maine was due 10 Spanish treachery
II is doubtful if there is any testimony
of Importance bearing upon the Maine dis
aster which has not been made public
that is, that was given before the Court
of Inquiry. 1t is hardly probable that the
President would have suppressed any of it,
Still, the fact that Mr.. Fleming has intro
duced resolution of inquiry shows that
there is report that Congress is not yet
in possession of all the testimony
1t may be that the report grew out of
statements which Capt. Slgsbee is said to
have made before the committee on for
eign relations. 1t was published in the dis
patches that he stated to that committee
his belief that the destruction of the Maine
was due to Spanish treachery 1t is notice
able also that Admiral Irwin was before
the same committee yesterday, as a tor
pedo expert in connection with the Maine
disaster.
Il looks very much as if 1t was the pur-
pose of Congress to make the Maine in
cident one of the reasons for deciding to
recognize the independence of Cuba, and to
lend the Cubans assistance in securing
their independence. The report of the Court
of Inquiry may not be regarded as wholly
satisfactory for that purpose and hence,
the opinions of two prominent naval Off
GERS were obtained as to whether the
Maine was destroyed by Spanish treachr
cry or not The purpose of Mr. Fleming
inquiry will be made known probably with
in day or two.

Gen. George A. Forsyth. U. S. A., writ

Riding in the direction from which the

other piece of woods bout 200 yards in
It's rear. and was pouring a rapid. fire
into the woods from which 1 had just
emerged. As l sat on my horse quietly
watching it from behind rail fence, the
lieutenant comma nding the pieces saw me,
and riding out for hundred yards or
more toward where | was, proceeded to
cover me with his revolver We fired to-
gether-a miss on both sides. The secono
shot was uncomfortably close, so far as
l was concerned, but as l look deliberate

in some way his pistol was disabled for

1 should have fired. He did nothing of
the sort Apparently accepting his fate,

the guns timber up and retire down the

An UnnOnmInr Issue.

"A few days ago we suggested to the
candidates who are seeking the guberna-
toriaI nomination of the Democratic party
that they couldn't find an issue that would
command more attention than this one,
namely, that there should be a state
hoard 10 equalize assessments, so that 81
qf the 1877 counties of the state wouldn't.
practically, escape all taxation for state
purposes, and, strange to say, not one of
the candidates has regarded it as advisable
to declare that he favors the appointment
of such a BOARD. And why have all of
them avoided This issue? Simply because
iSisnt popular one in more than half
the counties. SO we have it that our
candidates are shy of unpopular ques-
tions, although such questions are of vital
interest to The people. How many after
all, of those who seek Office and in do
ing so, tell the people how profoundly they
are concerned for their welfare, are really
interested in promoting the public good?
1t is seldom there is a public man who
has the courage to act wholly in accord
ance with his convictions. When such
man does come TO the front his sim
cerity is at once recognized and he has
the support of all who want to see right
and justice prevail He has, of course.
against him all the elements that have in
terests which demand favors the law does
not permit, but he wins his way Ultimate
ly, because the right prevails in the end.
1t is a great wrong that in ninety-one
counties such assessments are permitted
as enable these counties to draw more
money out of the public treasury than
they pay into it, and yet our guberna-
torial candidates have nothing to say
about it, Judge Atkinson prefers to taik
about the free coinage of silver, though
what he would have to do with the silver
question if he should be elected Governor,
even he, with all his astuteness would
not be able to tell. Mr.. Berner goes on
declaring that he is protecting the consti-
tuition, though no man from one end of
the state to the other is attacking il,
and he has not named a solitary
soul or corporation that is violat-
ing it, and Col. Gambler continues
to talk about leaks in the treasury
which he wants the opportunity to stop,
though he doesn't seem to know just
where the leaks are, or who, if anybody,
benefits by them. Such an evasion of
live question and such fighting of WIND
mills never before was seen in a political
compaign in this state.

Probably not a great deal of sincere re-
greet will be expressed because of the TAX
ing-of of Brann, of the Waco Iconoclast
Duels, impromptu or pre-arranged, are to
be condemned, like other crimes of vio-
lence; but it was especially in consonance
with his career, that Editor Brann should
have died as the result of a duel 1t will
not be denied that his was a bright mind
even brilliant mind, but it was deplora-
bly, perverted, for the purpose of making
money. He made paper 10 sell, and he
used his talents to sell that paper, rather
than to raise up his fellow creature. He
was, indeed, an iconoclast. Whatever civ
ilization set up as worthy of reverence and
emulation, Brann attacked, and often
dragged through foul cutters. No institu-
ton or profession escaped him. Sensation
alism of the worst kind, covered over with
a gloss Of fine language. but reeking with
in' was the kind of stuff Brann delighted
10 put into his paper He posed as a NOR
alist who believed in exposing fostering
places to thessunlignt of publicity in order
that they might be purified; meantime his
paper thrived on the patronage Of the pru-
rent. People who bought it did so in the
expectation of finding something horribly
shocking in il; and they were not often
disappointed. Unfortunately, there are still
other Branns in the publishing business
and still unfortunately, there appears to
be no way under the law to get them out
of Il
