Jack Porter Tires of Life and Ends it
With a Dose of Poison.

Sunday morning last the occupants
of Mrs. Merans' lodging house in this
city, were disturbed by groans coming
from some person who seemed to be in
deep distress. Search was made and
in one of the rooms Jack Porter was
found in dying condition and suffer
ing terrible commissions DR.. Woods
was sent for and upon examination
pronounced that the man was suffer-
ing from arsenical poisoning. He died
shortly after the doctor had been
called.
Jack Porter was we'll known in both
the territories, having at one time been
a prominent sheep man in New Mexico
and Arizona. A few years ago he sold
his sheep and went to Gallup, N. NJ,
bought the gambling privileges in a
saloon there. For time he was sue
cessful, but he later on took to drink
ing heavily and then a woman of the
town came into the play. The woman,
Stella Brown, who is now a resident of
Jerome, in the language of the sport,
"blowed poor Jack for all his stuff and
then had no further use for him"
Without money Jack had no friends,
even the woman on whom he had
blowed thousands of dollars would
now have nothing to do with him, so
he left Gallup and procured work
herding sheep. He was near Jerome
with band when he was in some way
informed that the woman Brown was
here SO he came in to see her. The re-
port is that he spent what money he
had again, and discouraged and tired
of life, and having the arsenic on his
person, the poison used by all herders
to kill wild animals, he took DOSE

4 NEW REFORM PROGRAMME.

\ |ATSON of the woolly brain and wild voice is Nj silent, Sam Jones has not been heard to dis
 turb the atmosphere for some time, and still Georgia is not without her agitations A new re- former has arisen in the land where Toombs Stephens and Cobb lie buried, and proposes a new political movement which, with the fervor of Sam Jones re- viva pops louder than Popusn itself and threatens to raise Cain and Hades all over these United States.
 This reformer proposes that on each New Years day there shall be held election in every county in the United States at which each voter shall declare by ballot whom he regards as the worst and most deInCraizng citizen in the county The person whose name IS found on plurality of the ballots is under Ire reform system to be publicly hanged on the frst day of the ensuing February. The Governor is to have no right of pardon in cases of this kind nor Is there to be any appeal to the Supreme Court on any question involved in the law or its processes
 he argument of the reformer is that under the operation of his proposed law each county would get rid of Its worst citizen in the first year. and that thereafter all bad citizens would either move of to some place where they are not known. or else re- pent and reform. There would be- he claims an immediate moral elevation of the whole people All men, and particularly all prominent citizens" would at once really and earnestly strive to be good
 The idea, while too radical for adoption in prac- tical fc litics is too valuable to be wholly lost We have been striving for long time in this country to bring about an elevation of the stage Why not trv the Georgia reform scheme for season in theatrical circles? If 1t works well there we can then er+end it to the nation.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

N EVER in our history has 1t been more desirable
 NJ than now that all departments of the Government at Washington should be animated by unity of purpose and of sentiment While the campaigns of the year may be waged mainly State questions there nevertheless grave and portentous na- tona issues waiting to be dealt with, and for the right solution of the problems involved in them there will be required full harmony of action between the administration and both branches of Congress.
 Neither in the domain of domestic nor of foreign politics will there be possible the adoption and en- torcement of consistent straightforward policies ii Congress, either branch of it, is anagonstic to the administration We have the evil effects of di- vided councils Washington during the session of Congress which has just closed. Having no effec- tive majority in the Senate, 1t impossible for the Republicans pass currency reform bill or to pro- vide for the upbuildng of American merchant marine adequate to the demands of our commerce. Other hardly less important than these also set aside by reason of this antagonsm between the two houses.
 If similar conditions prevail in the next Congress similar results will follow Currency reform will be again postponed, the fiat money fanatics will resume their agitatons American shipping interests will be again denied the protection needed to enable them to live and work in competition with the subsidized shipping interests of European nations and the whole issue of the grave problems of foreign relations will be left to the chances of party g-rolling and political compromises
 These issues affect every business interest and every industry of the people. They are not to be overlooked simply because the fused factions of op- position in this campaign evading great national questions and trying to distract the attention of the voters from them
 The nation never had larger affairs involved in the elections of off year than in this one Never were the Congressional contests of more importance Never it more imperative to elect majority of representatives in harmony with the administration Never was it more essential to the general welfare that the Senate should be in accord with the other branches of the Government It is therefore the duty of every citizen to promote Republican success in the Congressional districts and that end work should begin at once
