wr,Ich can be converted by insidtous
orators into determination to paralyze
It and place France at the mercy Of the
foreigner. Men do very little thinking
in pollfcs. They catch at words and
phrases The Russian alliance must he
made effective. In the present con-
fused state of French politics the
Cars advisers are never certain from
day to day what will be the policy OF
France. Russia has for hong time
desired the advancement OF General
Bonaparte by his own country. TIE
time is ripe for it, provided party can
be formed which can get control of
France. Bodsdeffre, the close friend of
| the Gear and of Russia. ard the best
soldier in. France, has been unjustly
thrust out of office. along with a num-
her of other excellent propagandists
The situation is SO inviting that 1t may
have suggested the story.
The transfer of the control of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad is dis
tinctly the most important event of the
day in the financial world. 1t marks
another great advance in the develops
ment cf the West, and of it's growing
Importance, financially. Not only are
the leading eastern cities leaning
money to Europe, but Chicago is so
well supplied in that regard that she,
too is able to offer from her stores to
to the necessities of the European bus
mess men. Now, for the first time in
our history. a great trunk line is con-
trcaied by western capital. This is a
matter of the greatest significance and
Importance which will not fail to be
noticed by the financial world.
The reason given for the failure to
complete the Frederick Douglass statue
in time for the dedicatory ceremonies
in Rochester the other day is that no
model could be found in the United
States who resembled the colored
statesman sufficiently to pose for the
statue. After several weeks lit was de-
c;ded to pose Charles r. Douglass, the
son of the original, though his re-
semblance to his father is said to
be not particularly striking. 1t is not
often that a statue or monument is
formally dedicated without the pres
ence of the statue or monument, but
the Douglass ceremonies at Rochester
appear to have established a precedent
in this respect.

cARsE AND DOWNS SAFE.
Rock Island Soldier Boys Reach New York
From Porto Rico.

John W. Carse and Frank Downs,
the Rock Island soldiers left in Porto
Rico i'll when Company A left with
the 9th regiment, are safe in New
York They arrived yesterday after
noon on the OLDHAM.
A dispatch was received at Carse &
OhIweiler's Office this afternoon from
John himself saving that he was safe
and all right in New York, and would
be home soon. Mr.. Carse is sup
posed to be there. while Mrs. Carse.
her daughter, Mrs. Tremann, and her
son. Willie Carse. are in Pittsburg.
Likewise this afternoon came a dis
patch to Mr.. and Mrs. f. c. Downs
bearing joyful message from their
son that he was well and would be
home soon.
The transport OLDHAM, which sailed
from Ponce Sept. %. via Santi-
ago, Oct. D, arrived at quarantine in
New York Yesterday afternoon with
$50 sick and convalescent soldiers
and $50 passengers. After leaving
Santiago, where the fire in the bunk
ers had been eXtinguished, the fire
again broke out. and although every
effort was made to to get it I'M
der control, it was still smouldering
when the OLDHAM reported at the
quarantine. 1t caused much uneasi-
ness as the transport sailed with a
large quantity of ammunition and
rifles. The sick and convalescent
improved steadily during the voyage,
being provided with excellent food
and medical supplies. There was
only one death during the voyage,
Private Sweeney, 9th Illinois, cerebal
conclusion, and was buried at sea.
Speaking to Gov. Tasting, of Pennsyl-
vania, who went down to the OLDHAM
to see the Pennsylvania troops
arriving, Col. Gibson said he had been
the means of saving many soldiers
from starvation. He said: Il have a
story to tell that will startle the coun-
try newspapers but will have to wait
for nv reports to ascertain the exact
condition of affairs at Santiago, where
| have been. l have been at Santiago
three months, and in that time learned
many things. Ny duty was to look
after the sick and wounded.
Did you report to the government
as to what the men needed?"
Il fed.them. But for the relief as
sociatiOn as many would have
starved.
Ralph Harwick, a member of the
Pennsylvania volunteers, told a har-
rowing story of the treatment he and
his companions had received in Porto
Rico. He said: Many of us con-
tracted typhoid fever in the military
camps in the south. The tropical
climate developed diseases. The reg
ulars were well looked after, but the
volunteers were starved. When fin
ally the men were forced to succumb
to fever and were sent to hospitals,
they were treated most shamefully.
Although delirious we were forced to
get out of our cots to nurse some
poor fellow dying. Some men went
mad under the strain" Several sim
liar complaints were recited by the
men to Gov. Hastings.

TO INSURE A CHANGE.
But One Way to Get New
Faces In the County
Offices.
ELECT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES

CraIIe Has His Force Already Picked
Out and Brother Hubbard is Not
Counting on Making Any New Acquaint-
ances oniciaIy should He BE Elected
In the Same Old Way.
When people know exactly for
whom they are voting in an election,
the responsibility for the act is in
their keeping. and if they err-know-
ingly-they cannot justly complain
1t is where the voter thinks he is
casting his ballot for one person and
in reality it is for another, that he
may feel chagrined in the face of sub
sequent revelations. The course of
events NAV demonstrate something,
two of the county offices where vote
for the republican candidate who asks
for support will not necessarily con-
tribute to change in present condi-
tions. In the office of sheriff the law
realizes to so great an extent the
practical desirability that an incum
bent should not succeed himself that
it makes it impossible for such a con-
tingencv to arise. Yet should the UNI
forseen happen and Levi F. Cralle be
elected, practically the same influ-
ences at least would remain in
control that have for the
past four years. This con-
clusion does not infer that the
present sheriff would remain,
but it means that those who have
been in control of the office would.
These two worthless are none other
than Capt. w. j. Ransom, who has
already gone into local history as
Levi F. Cradles man, Friday, and one
Stephen S. Hull. To keep these two
officials in the harness Cralle has
already pledged himself. The ticket
nominee has business interests to de-
vote himself to, and he has entrusted
his political affairs, present and flu
ture, to these experienced public Off
Gals. The republican county con-
vention had a chance to pass on
convention was bent on nam
ing Col. Ed. Kittilsen for sheriff.
and handsome thing it would have
been to do while the nominee was
serving his country. and up to almost
the last moment was prepared to do
so, but Cralle would not have it so.
lie saw the only chance OF MS lie TO
beat his famous Moline rival out, by
contending he would not be here to
serve if elected, and thereby bagged
the nomination. Kittilsen and his
friends expected the honor up to the
dav of the convention, and it was not
until the clans had gathered and tele-
grams had passed between Rock Island
and Camp Alger did one come from
Kittilsen releasing his friends from
any obligation to him. That was
Cradles moment of victory-but it
has since turned out to be Ranson's
and Hull's, too.

entirely within the control of the
republican county convention,
however, resulted in the re-
tirement of Col. II. Kohler from the
field of candidates this year. But does
anyone contemplate that the election
of Brother Hubbard-ifsu such a circum-
stances were possible-would mean
that Edgington's big boy would be-
come clerk anymore than in names?
The official signature will be changed
but that will be all that will be per-
ceptible. Col. Hjalmar Kohler will
continue at the helm.

Appointed Chief of the Bureau Of
Yards and Docks.
The vacancy which has existed in the
office Of the chief Of the bureau Of yards
and docks. Navy Department, since last
Tuesday. when the term Of Rear Admiral
F.. o. Matthews expired, was filled by the
President today by the appointment Of
Civil Engineer Mordecai T. Endicott for a
term of four years. In view Of the prob
ability OF the construction of four or five
new dry docks shortly this bureau becomes
one of the most important in the Nevy De-
partment.
Mr.. Endicott is an engineer officer Of high
repute, and Is thoroughly informed In re-
gard to all matters which come directly
under the bureau OF which he will be the
head. Aside from this his position as bu-
reau chief will make him q member of the
general board made up Of bureau chiefs
icy relating to the navy.
He was member Of the Nicaragua canal
commission, Of which Col. Ludlow was
president. several years ago, since which
time he has been on duty in the bureau Of
yards and docks.
The appointment of a civil engineer to
this position Is distinct innovation in the
naval service. but In the present casa is re-
garded as one of a special fitness.
Tne general law relating to the naval
service confines appointments to bureau
positions to officers not below the grade Of
commander and heretofore has been con-
strued to apply solely to the line, Secre-
this construction. and holds that the an
pointment of Civil Engineer Endicott is
clearly within the law through his relative

FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
Plea Presented Today by Methodist
Iinisterial AssOicatiOn.

Plea Presented Today by Methodist
ministerial AssOication.
CHICAGO. Ill. March 21.-At the meet
ing Of the Methodist Ministerial Association
today the Rev. John Lee. chairman. read
a report of the COMMITTEE on religious
liberty for Protestants in South America"
The lort stated that the committee was
greatly encouraged. 1t aims to accomplish
three things:
Il. To secure religious liberty for mis-
sionaries working in the republics of Peru,
Ecuador and Bolivia.
2. To secure religious liberty for. native
Christians who dissent from the Roman
Catholic faith.
'.3. To secure in these South American
republics the fullest civil liberty for for
e;gners and native born Protestants. es-
pecially by the legalization of marriages
performed by others than the clergy of
the Roman Catholic Church"
The committee, 1t was stated, asks moth
ing more for the Protestants in the South
American republics than Is cheerfully ac-
corded to Roman Catholics In this repub-
lie"
Letters had been addressed to prominent
men in various parts Of Christen6om, stat
ing the aims of the committee. and a large
number Of replies had been received.
Among them was one from ex-PresidenI
Cleveland. who wrote: II am an advocate
OF the largest nDerty 10 all people In our
own land, and am strongly in favor of any
movement having for its object the perfect
security and absolute freedom in the South
American states Of our citizens sojourning
or residing there. The demand for such
freedom, It seems to me, Is only reasonable
and just
Ex-President Harrison replied: Certain
ly the religious liberty which is now UNI
versally given by Protestant countries to
citizens and residents of the Roman Cath
oiic faith calls for reciprocal treatment
in Roman Catholic countries"
The Rev. John w. Butler of Mexico in
bis reply. referred to a conversation he had
had with President Diaz. who said:
The clergy In my country are not all
tolerant, but we intend to be and to main
tain religious and civil liberty at all costs"
