The republican village caucus was held
at the court house Monday evening. ID.
Spicer was chairman, III. w. Showerman
secretary, w. L. Miller and l.. M. Shower
man tellers The following ticket was
placed in nomination:
President-W. G. Y. Ferguson.
Clerk--David Anderson.
Treasurer f. Showerman.
Trustees-W. l.. Miller,
M. o. Rowland,
j. G.. Maxwell
Assessor. G.. Warner.
Messrs. b. F. Warner, M. o. Rowland
and l.. M. Showerman were named as
village committee. Sixty votes were
cast in the caucus.
The above ticket is an excellent one
The candidates for president, clerk and
trustees are representative young men in
this community, who have been success
full and honorable in the management OF
their own business affairs, and their
election would insure clean, business
like administration for the village. The
candidates for treasurer and assessor are
old and tried men, who have always
honorably discharged official duties en-
trusted to them.
There is no good reason why all re-
publicans should not vote this ticket
straight, from top to bottom, and, under
the existing circumstances, we believe
most of the candidates will poll a vote
much beyond the party strength.
The silverites held their caucus at the
council room Saturday evening. The
following ticket was placed in nomina-
ton:
President. j. Cavanaugh.
Trustees w. Meredith,
j. b. Rickard,

MANY TEMPTATIONS IN CHINA.

The state department Is preserving
of the recall of Consul Bedloe from
Paris and has promptly denied all the
statements heretofore put out in regard
to his suspension. 1t is now said on
what is thought to be very good au-
thority that the entire United States
consular service in China needs more
or less overhauling. There is said TO
be a good deal Of envy and jealousy
of one kind and another between the
Consuls, and several OF them, accord
ing to the reports, have made serious
charges against each other.
The many friends here Of Mr.. Bedloe,
who are acquainted with his strict in
tegrity, have no fear that anything re-
tlecting upon his honor or honesty will
be disclosed, although possibly he may
have committed errors OF judgment
But it is realized that great tempta-
tons are constantly presenting them
selves in China. 1t is so far from
home, its own political system is fairly
honeycombed with corruption, and the
representatives of all the civilized ma
tons of the globe seem to look upon its
commerce and its people as Legitimate
prey.
Not long ago United States Consul,
who had served long time in one OF
the most populous and important dis
tricts in China, boosted in Chamber
Inns in this city, that the people Of his
consular district, numbering several
millions, looked upon him as Il king,
and his rule over them was practically
unlimited.

City of Mexico, Sept. 26.-President
Diaz cannot go TO Chicago on account
of the illness OF Madame Diaz.
He has appointed Lie lgnacion
Mariscal minister of foreign
relations, as his representative.
The president last night expressed deep
regret that he must forego the pleasure
of the trip which he had looked forward
to with keen desire. He had hoped to
meet the leading men Of the neigh boz
ing republic and felt that the occasion
would be of much benefit to both
countries. While the illness OF
Madame Diaz has all along placed a
degree of uncertainty about the plans
of the president for his making the
Journey it was hoped until Monday
that her condition might improve suf-
ficiently to allow President Daz to be
absent. So strong was this eXpecta-
ton that Monday the senate again took
up the matter of the proposed visit
and increased the amount of the APP
preparation for the expense of the
president and his party to $3.50, 900 in
gold The former appropriation was

CHANGES IN DAYS TO COME.
Novelist's Idea of the Twentieth Cen
fury Transportation.

Between 1900 and 1000 the march Of
change was still more rapid, and be-
tween 1000 and 2100 the continually
accelerated progress of human inven-
ton made the reign of Victoria the
Good seem at last an almost incredible
vison Of idyllic tranquil days.
BY the year 1000 railways and roads
had vanished together. the railways,
robbed of their rails, had become
weedy ridges and bitches upon the face
of the world; the old roads, strange,
barbaric tracts of flint and soil, ham,
mered by hand or rolled by rough iron
rollers, streWn with miscellaneous
filth, and cut by iron hoofs and wheels
into ruts and puddles CHten many in
ches deep, had been replaced by patent
tracks made of a substance called
Eadhamite.
When Eadham discovered the sub
stance he probably thought of it as
mere cheap substance for india rubber;
it cost a few shillings a ton. But you
can never tell all an invention will do.
II was Tie genius VI lIul
Warming that pointed to the possibil-
ity of using it, not only for the tires Of
wheels, but as a road substance, and
who organized the enormous network
of public ways that speedily covered
the world.
These public ways were made with
longitudinal divisions. On the outer

toward 200 miles an hour. And by the

them in the face with his glove and
challenged two others to duels; the
offenders however, preferred to apollo
gize." Several other instances are
cited showing his courage, GOODNESS, de-
termination and patriotism. Yet, in
spite of qualities that should have won
for him the admiration and confidence
of his fellow-officers, malice and race
prejudice steadily pursued him. six
courts martial one court of inquiry,
star-chamber known as the 'Shubrick
Board, and the board which replaced
his name upon the Naval Register form
a part of the extraordinary official re-
cord of Post-Captain Levy" The
courts nearly always decided against
him, but in several cases the superior
authority of the President of the Uni
ted States interviewed in his favor, and
in one case Commodore Stewart, who
disaproved a sentence of dismissal
from the frigate United States.
Nevertheless, though promoted to a
post-captaincy in 1874, his enemies
were strong enough to keep him out Of
the service Years passed and his ap-
plications for command were pigeon
holed. When war with Mexico was
declared he made piteous appeals to be
allowed to serve his country. At last,

government determining to send a

has been continued by his nephew,
Hon. Jeerffson M. Levy, the present
owner" But not content with keeping
him out of active service, his persecu-
tors continued tneir work, and in 1855,
under the Shubrick Board or Commits

spite all the great influence brought to
bear against this Jew, the United
States government ordered still an
other board, which restored him to his
rank and emoulments. In 1858 he was

in the Mediterranean as flag officer OF

New York city, March %, 1862, he was
buried with full naval honors."
1t was hard and long fight
against envy and narrow prejudice, but
justice and truth triumphed in the end,
and the brave and patriotic Jew died
with the knowledge that the country
which he loved and served so faithfully
would hold his memory in lasting hon

scented in Mr.. Morgan's article, it would
seem that we are not altogether in the
position to throw stones at the perse-
cutors of Dreyfus. The records in this
case clearly indicate that there Is at
least one glass house of considerable
size in our naval history--and possibly,
if the enemies of Schley could have
had their way, still larger one would
have been constructed recently.
