Of Col. Quay hope to got Democratic
votes through the use of money.
The same methods of intimidation
and blackmail are being employed to
drive Democrats into the Finn insur-
gent pen and afterward lead them as
so many sheep in any direction that
Finn and Martin may determine.
IGNORING GUFFEY.
Through promise or expectation of
getting place in the event of Bryan's
election, not few Democrats implicit
ly obeyed Guffey in the last combina-
tion which the Democrats made with
the insurgents. Guffey has now moth
ing in the way of patronage to hold up
for the Democratic members. They are
all in position to think and act for
themselves, and they are evidently go
ing to do that very thing.
Many of them have legislation need
ed by their respective localities, which
they want to have passed at this ses
sion of the legislature, and they recog-
niZe the fact that in order to get the
votes to pass their bills they must act
judiciously, and not blindly follow the
directions iof Col. Guffey or any one
else. rt
ihc lSSHIui IeeDuDilCduS VIII uH-
questionably control the appointments
of the committees of both the senate
and the house, and the Democrats who
want to. be potential in this session of
the general assembly will not necessa
rily antagoniZe the men who can help
them to get through what legislation
they may desire for their respective
districts or constituencies.
For these and other reasons Guffey
finds it impossible to get the names
of many Democrats to any pledge to
act with the insurgents.
The belief that Col. Quay will be
elected upon the first ballot is growing
among members of the legislature who
have heretofore been IN doubt, and
with this feeling abroad the insurgents
and their Democratic allies will soon
find that they will cut very small fig
ure at Harrisburg this winter.

demanded the money.

Blind Pigs Pulled.

Last Wednesday the city council
caused the arrest of two blind piggers,
Ben Waterman and fellow named
Lyman They were brought before
Justice Roise for trial. Judge Muller
appeared as prosecuting attorney and
Sam Porter and Sam Olson, senior
member of the firm Olson and Johnson
defended the piggers; They were found
guilty and sentenced to fine of 800,
or 80 days in jail. They appealed to
the district court, probably hoping
that there would be a new county at
torney by the time court meets. With
a partner of their attorney for county
attorney they would probably not feel
at all trembly.
The Argus makes a curious display
of it's innermost feelings on the subject
of blind pigs, by generously forbear-
ing to give the names of i. the piggers,
but heaping ridicule> and sarcasm on
the prosecuting Witnesses, denouncing
one of them as a "blood hound.n A
law breaker is forsOOth too good to
have his name published, but one who
tries to bring that lawbreaker to Justice
must be held up as an object of scorn.
Shame upon q newspaper that so far
forgets the moral obligation of every
moulder of public opinion to uphold
law and denounce law-breaking.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT,
Tho Same Old Story Over Again-Man,
Gun and Sad Results.

Last Sunday afternoon Edwin Mel
son, youngest son of P. J. Nelson of
New London, took his sister, Chris
tine, out for boat ride aud in doing
so took a gun along. He rowed
out to little island located opposite
Chas. STAINS in Cedar Island lake.
After having been on the island a
short while they started for home.
Miss Christine had got into the boat
and Edwin was climbing in, having
handed in the gun before. The gun,
it seems, slid down little too far and
he was just in the act OF pulling it
back when the hammer struck in some
way and exploded tbe charge. The
muzzle Of the gun was close up to his
thbrh at the time of the explosion and
as consequence the Charge made
large hole in the flesh and also splint-
cred the bone. The wound is very
serious one, but the attending physi-
clan, DR.. Newman, is in hopes of pull
ing him through. 1t is feared that
the young man may be crippled from
it.
At the time the accident happened
they were about one and half miles
from home, and while the young fel-
low couldn't row he sat upright and
directed his sister while she rowed
home, which took three-fourths of an
hour. He even attempted with the as
sistance of his sister to walk home
from the lake shore but this was too
much for the brave fellow and they
had to get buggy to bring him home
in.
This is but another warming to the
young and careless hunter. You can
never be too careful with the gun.
