Troopship sumner sinks Car Float at
Norfolk.

Norfolk.
Norfolk, Va.-The United States
army transport Sumner, commanded
by Captain T. Baker, and said to be
the finest troopship afoat, sailed from
the navy yard at noon Saturday
for Hampton Roads, where her compass
will be adjusted. The big ship became
unmanageahle when off the Southern
railroad pier and was swept against a
Car float which lay at the pier. A tre-
mendous crash followed as the trans
port mashed the barge and the latter
broke down the front tier of piles on
which the wharf stands. The men at
work unloading the cars on the float
escaped to the pier. The barge, with
it's load Of cars, plowed over on the
Portsmouth fats, where it sank to the
bottom. The Sumner proceeded un-
injured, save that her bow was pierced
above the water line by her anchor
tluke. The accident is said to have
been unavoidable.

There is a feeling expressed by
representatives of all parties, that
dt would be far better for Sank
Centre to hold regular party cau-
.cuses for the nomination of munich
pal officers. Under the system as
lit has, existed every officer repre-
,sents no one but himself-he alone
is entitled to credit or criticism. 1t
does not follow by any means that
the voter will inevitably support
every man on his party ticket -
that cannot be expected, but the
ticket, as a whole, will be ,recog-
nized as the one supported by the
great mass of that party, and the
officer so elected will feel that he
has party behind himrtos either
uphold or condemn him; and the
official record of such officer will.
in a general way, be- the record OF
the party which elected him.

tons, but the methods of nomina-
ton during the past two or three
years has not been satisfactory.
Instead of allaying feeling and
contention it has stimulated it, and
the feeling has beenpersonal rather
than parlisan-so something always
to be deplored in such a community
as this.
When a party feels that it must
be responsible for the official acts
of its candidates. it will very
naturally be interested in seeing
that its best representatives for the
place are nominated and elected.
