however, to Germany whose citizens control its

settled 1t happens that there is another island
about 400 miles southwest of Clipperton, and rich
in the same deposits that make that place worth
possessing for which adventurous miners are at
this moment looking. AS late as July last YES
sci named Moonlight left Altata, Mexico, on
voyage in search of this latest mysterious island,
and spent ffty-two days of fruitless labor toward
this end Her captain failed to find the place,
and, fearing that his provisions and water would
short, returned home to report that either the
rough charts of old Captain Martin and his asso-
ciates were in error, or else that some strange
seismic phenomenon had caused the lost isle to
disappear years ago, perhaps, for all that mortal
soul knows. Spice is added to this romance by
the fact that another Frisco captain located the
place definitely year of two before and found
small colony there-which colony is still on the
island shipping guano in their own schooners,
manned by numbers of their own party, to the
leading ports on the Pacific slope of North and
South America. Quite a number of expeditions
have of late been made with the object of wrest-
ing this valuable secret from the handful of men
in whose possession it is, and of participating in
the spoils; and one of these days we WILL no
doubt, hear of sanguinary fight for the supre-
macy between the present coonists and a party
of marauders. Although the stories told about
the unknown island vary considerably, they all
agree that it exists somewhere about 400 or 500
miles southwest of Clipperton, iA low coral ato
covered with the richest phosphates The place
also has its legends of pirates treasures which
may or may not have had any foundation in fact
one of the expeditions of recent date, which have
been fitted out to look for the island was the Vine
expedition. That vessels owner claims to have
secured his knowledge of the place from the old
sea captain named Martin above referred to, who
died some years ago, and who left an old chart
among his belongings, which told of small ISL
and in the South Pacific, not down on the regular
charts enormously rich in guano

The Samoan Situation.

The people, productions. and commercial and
strategic Importance of the Samoan Islands, are
discussed in the current number of the monthly
summary of commerce and finance just issued by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. The islands
are located about 1000 miles south, and 800 miles
west of the Hawaiian Islands, and IA degrees
south of the equator. They lie in an almost direct
line between San Francisco and Australia, and
slightly south of the direct steamship line con-
Meeting the Philippines with the proposed Panama
or Nicaraguan inter-oceanic canals Their special
Importance, therefore, lies more in their position
as coaling and repair stations these great high
ways of commerce. rather than in their direct
commercial value their population being small,
and their imports and exports of comparatively
little Importance.
The group consists of ten inhabited and two TN
inhabited islands, with an area of 100 square
miles, and an aggregate population, according to
latest estimates, of 10000 people, of which some
thing over 200 are British subjects. I25 Germans.
IS Americans. IS French, and IS of other nation
aties, while the remainder are natives, of the
Polynesian race. The bulk of the population is
located in the three islands of Upolou, Sava and
Tutuila; the number in Upolou being 10000: in
Sava 1880, and in Tutuila, 300. The ISL
ands are of volcanic origin but fertile, producing

from the uninstructed vote he

desire Of the party to present their

no one who would please the
Democrats better, for truly he is a

strength of the line is the center
and to this point the enemy con-
centrates its force, but to find a
flank movement has been made,

from the right or left and it is too
late to successfully resist. Mr..
Hardin should have known that
this was the condition under
which that vo e was cast and that
on the final passage Of the bill Mr..
Stone voted against the measure,
but since he did not it would be
justice to make an open confess
sion and correction as publicly
and far-reaching as he did the
charge. To do this is manly, to
refuse to do so is anything else.
No man has ever heard of Sen

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

On last Wednesday the Dem
ocratic Railroad convention Of the
third district met in Winchester.
There was good representation.
Every body came as it were with
a determination to talk the same
way and SO they did. They were
unanimous for a chairman and
secretary, endorsed the Chicago
platform and Hon. J. w. Bryan,
nominated Col. A. w. Hamilton
for Railroad commissioner, ad-
journed and the delegates re-
turned to their respective homes.
1t was harmony that possessed the
convention and when we enter the
fight for the November election it
will be as one man. Col. Hamil-
ton is a candidate with a Rebuff
lican majority against him, but
when the November election is
over it will be observed that the
majority is on the other side of
the page. Col. Hamilton has
spent his money for Democracy
and the party know it. He has
given Of his time and the party
will rot forget him.

STONE AND HARDIN.

Some men, Democrats at that
are telling it around that Capt. w
]. Stone is not sound on the
money question; that he votee
while in Congress for gold bono
issue.
These Democrats don't know
what theyssare talking about. This
news-good to Capt. Stones OPP
ponents-started with the Hon.
P. Wat Hardin at Shelbyville.
Wat should have known better
than to;have made this statement
so foreignsto the truth. He mis-
led the people who heard and
more who read that celebrated
speech. 1t is even reported that
he read from the Congressional
Record, and then to his audience
he turnedsloose as much wind as
did thatiTrojan horse, and exult-
antly invited any one who
doubted him to come and believe
his own eyes. Now, it may have
been that Wat did not know bet
ter; he can't know everything, yet
some people have to be born
again in order to possess much
knowledge. For instance Gen.
Hardin was completely turned
down four years ago and don't
know that the same circumstances
which led to his defeat then are
alive to-day, and that it is not for
the interest Of the party to re-
nominate him.
The fact is Capt. Stone at no
time when this bill referred to by
Gen. Hardin, or any other kin
dred bill was put on its final pas
sage, voted for it.
AT some time during the con-
test he may have voted for the
measure. Why, that it should
become a law2 No! He knew
that bill must be on its final pas
sage, and that it was not so with
that bill at that time, and his mo-
tive was to mislead the common
enemy. 1t is like this: A con-
vention is in session, Mr.. Stone is
instructed by his county how TO
vote, but pending the balloting he
votes for others than the one for
whom he is pledged, hoping by
this method to gain a point favor
