they were wrong but because Re-
publicans believed in and supported
them.
A party has about outlived its
usefulness when it has no principles
of its own to stand upon, but must
rely for its existence on opposition
to other parties. Then it becomes
but an unseemly horde of scram-
blers for place and loses the pres
tige of party making an honest
fight for what it thinks to be the
right.

Beers and British

Still the Beers are holding the
British in check about Ladysmith.
Butler crossed the Tugela river
again last week with his force and
engaged the Beers. The British
fought gallantly against concealed
foe and forced several of the outer
works. They finally succeeded in
taking a high ridge which seemed to
be an important strategic point,
but, as in their last effort, they soon
found the Beers could sweep every
foot of the ground with their artil-

Two Funeral OratiOns by Senator
Blackburn
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
By the irony of fate and the exi-
gencies of personal ambition, it be-
came the duty of the Hon. Joseph
C. S. Blackburn to pronounce the
funeral Grafton at the coffin OF
William Goebel. And of Goebel
Senator Blackburn said:
"Build over his grave mighty
towering granite shaft that shall defy
the corrOding to lch of time, Inscribe
upon it an epitaph that shall be
worthy of the man. He earned this at
our hands. In life and death he was
consecrated to the peoples cause. He
lived an honest life, and gave his lie
for your delverance. OF him no eul-
ngy but truth may say: Earth never
pill0wed upon her bosom truer son,
nor Heaven opened wide her portals
to receive manlier spirit
At Covinington on Sunday, April
IA, 1895, little less than five years
ago, the eulogist of Goebel pro-
nounced another funeral Grafton.
That time he stood by the coffin of
Colonel John L. Sanford, who, like
Goebel, had been shot down in the
highway. And of Sanford Senator
Blackburn said:
"John Sanford was to me like
brother. 1 loved him. L hope God
may spare me, and l shall make it my
lfe's mission to avenge him by bury
lug his slayer in the depths of merited
public execration."
The slayer of John Sanford was
William Goebel.

Now the story goes that the ASA

Now the story goes that the assas-
sination of Goebel was witnessed
by two parties. One lady and one
gentleman claim to have seen the
Shot fired and that it was fired by a
man who was walking near Goebel
at the time. The theory of the
story is that it was fired by friend
of Goebel's and was a deliberate at
tempt on the part of Goebel and
his friends to stir up the people
against the republicans and create
sympathy for Goebel. The shot
accidentally proved fatal. Take
the story for what it is worth.

RidgeIey Wisely Declines TO stand for

Congressman Ridgeley has noti-
fed the chairman of the Democrat

Populist chairman that he will not

don't mean that he would not ac-

that he will not, publicly, manipu-
