was admitted TO che bar. Instead of en-
tering upon the practice Of law, he de-
cided to become a journalist. Tor which
profession he always manifested de-
cided taste. In September. 1856, he pur-
chased the Lewiston Journal, published
in the adjoining city of Lewiston. Of
which he had been practically the editor
while studying law, and to which, in 1861,
he added daily edition. The paper
rapidly increased in circulation and in
luence under his management.
His first vote was cast in 1854 for Arson
P. Morrill,, the anti-slavery and tenn
perance candidate for governor, a DO
litical combination from which arose the
Republican party of Maine during the
following winter. He threw himself into
the Fremont campaign in 1856 with all
the ardor of youth and ability of age.
In 1861, at the age of 20, he was elected
representative from Auburn to the state
legislature, in which body he at once
took high rank, was reelected in 1862,
and chosen speaker of the house at the
session of 1863. In 1863 he removed to
Lewiston, where a few months after he
was elected to the legislature, and at the
opening of the legislative session of 1864
was unanimously reelected speaker. At
the state election of 1864 he was elected
to the house a fourth time, and at the
session of 1865 was again rendered the
position of speaker, which he declined,
preferring to take his place on the floor.
He was also a representative to the legis-
lature from Lewiston in 1868 and 1873.
In forming his cabinet prior to enter
ing on the duties of chief executive,
March 4, 1897, President Mckinley ten
dered the position of secretary of the
treasury to Mr.. Dingley, but he declined
the offer, preferring to remain in his
position as chairman of the ways and
means committee and floor leader Of the
Republican majority of the house.

Mr. Dingley made a great success of

''has a larger circulation than any other
paper in Maine. l would rather write
for it than do any other kind of work.
For the ordinary manipulations of
politics, Mr.. Dingley had no use what
ever. He paid no attention to pri-
maries or delegates. Every two years
his people renominatei him by acclama-
ton. He devoted his time to acquiring
experience and knowledge, which made
him more and more valuable.
He was not an orator. He lacked
the physical presence and the voice.
Nevertheless, all the members listened
when he arose to speak. He had a Won
derfully lucid way of asserting facts.

tested point. lie also had a remarkable
faculty of presenting an argument.
His mind was logical to the highest
degree. Mr. Dingley loved society, but
he did not allow it to become his master.
He was generally in bed every night at
10 o'clock, and at work by in the
morning. He never let his work get
behindhand Everything he did was
done in order.
Mr. Dingley was homebody. He
would rather read or see his friends
than to stir out of the house. Although
his reading was largely of a serious
character, he had a sense Of humor, and
was fond Of Mark Twain's books.
Mr.. Dingley was always a Prohibition

representatives in the capitol tomorrow at
10 o'clock. Two hundred OF the supreme
Representatives are here and the others are

sihed plan Of assessment which went into

DIES At THE POST OF DUTY
Captain Nichols of Monitor Monadnock
Voluntarily Sacrifices His Life.
PAYS The PENALTY FOR HIS F%oRrITuDE
just Before His Death the Brave I'm
Ger Has the Qualification OF
Realizing the Fuifilment
of His Desires.

MANILA, June 12.-3 p. m.-The funeral
OF Captain Henry Nichols, the commander
OF the United States double-turreted moni-
tor Monadnock, who died from suustroke on
Saturday, took place at Cavite yesterday
with appropriate naval ceremonies. The
officers OF the fleet were present and the
flags on all the vessels we're halt-masted.
The sudden death of Captain Nichols was
particularly sad because 1t occurred just at
the moment when the result for which he
had hoped and worked for for months was
about to be realized, namely, the capture OF
Paranaque and its occupation by the Ameri-
can forces. The Monadnock has been lying
off Paranaque for two months past, under
fire from the rebels almost daily. The heat
here has been intense and the officers and
men of the Monadnock suffered greatly.
The commander-in chief offered to retire the
Monadnock from this trying duty and re-
place 1t by another ship, but Captain Nichols
preferred to remain, declaring that he did
not want to leave his post until Paranaque
fell and the coast from there to Cavite was
cleared of rebels. The heat on Saturday
was most severe and the monitor was en-
gagged all day in Smelling the trenches at
Paranaque and the rebels fleeing south
through Las Pinas. and also in watching the
American troops closing in upon the towns.
Captain Nichols was overcome by the heat
at noon and retired to his cabin, where he
received frequent reports OF the operations
and gave directions for several hours. He
became much worse at 3 o'clock, lost con-
seriousness and expired at s in the afternoon.
Several hours before his death he expressed
qualification at the way events were pro-
crossing, remarking to an officer: eve

NO LAWN FOR THE LsAGUERS
Methodist Young People Are Denied
Privilege of Meeting on
capitol Grounds.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, JUNE 12.-Serious
trouble Is threatened between the local gem
eral committee in charge Of the Interna-
tional Epworth league convention that is
to meet in this city in a few weeks ami
the state officials and custodian Of the state
capitol, 1t is estimated that more than
10000 people will attend the convention
from the United States. The local commit
tee went before the legislature and secured
permission to stretch a tent In the capitol
grounds large enough to accommodate 1000
or 5000 people, in which to hold meetings.
The other day Custodian Vest Of the capt
toll stated he had taken measurements of
the grounds and would not permit the tent
to be pitched there, as 1t would ruin the
grounds and shade trees. Chairman Lasby
OF the committee took umbrage at this.
declaring that the legislature had given the
committee authority to use the grounds and
that the state officials were acting in bad
faith. He announced that the tent would
be pitched as at first contemplated. To-
night Custodian Vest said that If an at
tempt was made to pitch the tent the work
men would be arrested, as he would pro-
tect the state house grounds at all hazards.
The upshot of the fight came this even
ing In the call for a conference tomorrow
at the Commercial club of the parties in
terested. Chairman Lasby tonight said that
unless the committee were guaranteed a
desirable site for the tent the Epworth
league convention would be called off and
sent to some other city.
At this time both sides seem determined
not to give in, but a compromise may be
reached tomorrow.

DEMOCRATS HEDGE ON SILVER
Many National Committeeman Give it a
Minor Place in Platform,
INCLINED TO MAKE TRUSTS THE ISSUE
Chicago Paper Collects n series of
Interviews on the subject
Nebraska sticks to the
Fallen IDOL.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Times-Herald
has been asking members Of the democratic
national comittee what should be their
party's battle cry in 1~9O0-whether ere,
silver" or down with the trusts or both.
Today the Times-Herald publishes the
answers OF those that have been received.
While only one of the replies of these dem
ocratic leaders. the representative for
Maine, the home state OF Bryan's running
mate In 1896. says Drop free silver" they
are all but unanimous in giving the trust
question a prominence 1t never had in the
platform Of their own or any other party.
With one exception, all who speak freely
suggest that some other issue will divide
the stage equally with free silver.
Some say "militarism' or imperialism
will be one of the prominent issues. Others
"A few-frankly emphasize the trust ques-
ton as the big thing. Still others speak for
a twin battle cry.
One committeeman says fatty: 'The
issues Of 1896 should be the issues of 1900"
This one is Alexander Troup of Connecticut.
Half a dozen Of the committeeman are
either noncommital or refuse to be quoted.
They are: George Fred Williams, Massa-
chusetts; d. j.. Campau, Michigan; B. Il.
Smalley, Vermont; Frank Campbell, New
York; T.. d. O'Brien, Minnesota; ]. G. Dud-
ley. Texas.
A statement from Thomas Gahan, national
committeeman for Illinois, cannot be OBJ
tained because he is not in the city and
cannot be reached by telegraph. His atti-
tude Is. however, pretty well known. The
committeeman who say free silver must
have first place in the platform, although
generously combined with the questions of
trusts, militarism, and so on, are in Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas and In
dian territory, which latter does not vote
for president.
All the others either put the trust question
first or lay much stress upon issues pro-
duced by the Spanish war.

TROLLEY CAR ETIQUET.
A Philosophical Dissertation on the
ImuOrtant Question.

important Suest1On-
We are sorry to observe, says the Boston
Journal, a recrudescenre OF the attempt by
some pugnacious souls to establish a popular
crusade against those mostly innocent men
and women who decline to bulge once they
have arranged themselves comfortably at the
end of the long seat in the open cars.
The seat at either end of the bench, or
slip, or pew, or whatever 1t may be, is I'M
deniably the most popular in the open car.
1t offers freedom on one side from neigh
borly entertainments, and it affords an un-
INSTRUCTED view of at least one side Of the
passing landscape or seascape. The first
conner afmost invariably regards this seat
as a legitimate prize. Should 1t be given
up in any circumstances? The antagonists
OF the lend hog" says that it should be re-
linquished promptly, Willingly, invariably,
in all circumstances; that the end passenger
should move in and hereby abandon the
extra enjoyment in which he had been in
nocently or deliberately INDUCING.
Doubtless, on the other hand, II the whole
truth were told, the lend hog" If equally
obstinate and independent, would claim that
no circumstances enforce any such abandon =
ment. Therefore, there are two arbitrary
extremes, neither OF which, it seems to us, Is
justifable or approvable. Circumstance
alter cases" says the maXimist. There are
conditions in which a request that the lend
hog yield his fayorite seat would be highly
unreasonable, and there are also conditions
in which no end hog" with a grain of re-
spect for venerable age or physical help
~lessness would hesitate for a second to re-
tire inwardly.
Do as you would have others do to you,
That is a safe rule to observe in doubtful
situations. There is a happy medium even
to the grave question in point, and We think
that, under a flag OF truce, both the lend
hog and their bitter enemies can find 1t.
