The strurgIe for Office.

Itis surprising how many persons imag.
iae TINT the SUCCESS Of their party Of The
coming election depends on their being op :
pointed to an office for which they are
making application, when the great mass
Of the voters do not care one iota about
tho matter. When men become SO sordi1
as 10 make their adhesion to their party de-
pend on securing an office the people will
estjmats them as cowboys or bushwhackers
who are actuated by a desire to secure
plumber without reference to the good Of
their country. When voters have no other
object but Office we may well despair Of
the perpetuity of the government of our
country. The office seekers are not so i'm
porant as they imagine, and they may
rest assured that the party will survive for,
time at least whether they are successful
o. COINED to defoat. Batter men have
lived and died and still the world contin-
ues to revolve on It's axis and will very
likely continue to do so for ages to come.

1t now appears that the Maine was de-
stroyed BY an Internal machine, which
must have been placed in the harbor pre-
yious to the arrival of our favorite battle
chip. If such be a fact the Spanish har-
Dor master should have known of its loca-
lion, and avoided placing the ship where
Il could be blown up by the missile For
mis- conduct his government should be re-
sponsible. No such paltry excuse as that
The explosion was due to accident, or was
the S Of any private citizens, should
satisfy our government There should be
ample reparation and Spain made to I'M
1erstand that the American people will
not tolerate such an outrage. We do not
aesige war, but we do desire honorable
treatment, and our people are prepared to
sustain the government in enforcing the
demand at the lannon's mouth, holding
that "thrice armed Is be who has his quar-
rel just"

Insane Doctor Fatally Shot,

Chicago, March 3-Dr. Francis
Brooks, young physician, was shot
and seriously wounded last night by
Policemen Burke and Duffy, who had
been summoned to the house by the
family to control Dr. Brooks. The
mind Of the young physician has lately
become affected by overstudy, and last
night he alarmed the members of his
family by his handling of large
carving knife. Officers were called
for, and as soon as Burke and Duffy
appeared DR.. Brooks attacked them
with the knife. Burke fired at him
point blank, the bullet striking DR..
Brooks in the left arm. He continued
his attack, however, and Duffy fired,
hitting the doctor In the side and in
flicting wound that may prove fatal.

ing the two years which must inter-
vene before another session of the leg
islature will be held as under the laws
Of Maryland the complete reOrganiza-
ton of the road, which might involve
some change in its character, could
not be carried without the consent Of

~ IN SENATE AND HOUSE. -
Senator's Discuss the Alaska Homo.
stead and Railway Bill.

stead and Railway Bill.
Washington. March S.-Yesterday's
debate in the senate on the Alaskan
homestead and railway right Of way
bill was decidedly spirited. Mr.. Car
ter, of Montana, delivered vigorous
speech in reply to that made during
the past two days by Mr.. Rawlina of
Utah, in the course of which he made
a strong defense of the honor of con-
gressional committees and of officials
In the several government departments.
One of the special features Of the de-
bate was a speech delivered by Mr..
Elkins, of West Virginia, in which he
explained that the Canadian Pacific
railway was enabled to make war
upon American interests, and how and
why the aggressions of that great rail-
road ought to be stopped by the Uni
ted States Mr.. Elkins' speech aroused
much interest, particularly that part
in which he explained that while he
did not frame the now famous Sec
ton 20 of the present tariff law, he
stood squarely with the sterling Ameri-
can who did frame 1t.
The speech drew replies from Mr..
I1OdI VI WI. SHlitoi VI
Texas and Mr.. Nelson Of Minnesota
Mr.. Hoar maintained that a large part
of the speech of Mr.. Elkins was irrel-
evant to the pending discussion. He
would not admit that the aggressions
of the Canadian Pacific were SO serious
as West Virginia's senator would have
people believe. Mr.. Nelson entered a
sharp protest to Mr.. Elkins' PROPOSE
iion to abolish the bonding privilege.
holding that that privilege was in the
direct interest of the people of the
northwest. Mr.. Chiffon briefly con-
tended that under recent decisions Of
the supreme court the long and short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
law did not apply to the competition
between American railroads and the
Canadian Pacific.
The house spent another day in de-
bate upon the Loud bill relating to
second class matter. The speeches as
a rule attracted little interest.
