Rutherford county has heretofore

but as his candidate for the legisIa-
ture defeated the Carmack candi-
date only nine votes on the face of
the returns, and as it can be clearly
shown that twenty or thirty votes
were cast by proxy, the matter has
been referred to committee for ad
justment; and thus one of the Me-

doubtful column.

HON JOHN WESLEY GAINES was

Hon JOHN WESLEY GAINES was
thought to be rather an accident"
when first elected to Congress, but
he has surprised his friends and dis
appointed his critics by proving
quite success. He has made him
self so strong with his constituents
tibet he will have no opposition this
year. And how has he done so.
Not by any shrewdness or cunning
or eminent ability; not by drinking
and carousing and running with the
boys at night. But by being sober,
industrious, faithful servant; who
never leaves his post for pleasure
frolic; whose mind is not nuddled
in the m ,rning by a debauch of the
night before; who is too jealous OF
his reputation to neglect his duties to
| his constituents. and who really con-
| siders it an honor to serve the people
| There are shrewder men in Con-
gress but sure wdness is question
able virtue and needs watching
| There are ADLER men in Congress
but few better representatives
While the tricksters are scheming tC
do some little thing; and while the
leaders are planning to do some
great thing; and while OTHERS are
playing politics, John Wesley
Gaines honest, sober and industri.
ous-is busy attending to the peoples
business.

DENOUNCED ADMINISTRATION
Cochran Says There Is No Alliance, But
 a Surrender to England.

New York, March An a speech lasting the birth of Robert Emmett, the Irish pa- triot, which was celebrated tonight at the Academy of Music by the combined Clan na gael organizations of the city, W. Bourke Cochran bitterly denounced the att titude of the administration at Washington toward England in her affairs In South Af- rica. Ms Cochran said in part:
 England seeks to some extent to justify this war by our example, the example set by this government, now by this people.
 "Now it is said again that the people of this country must remain neutral This is as it should be. But I deny that this coun- try has been neutral. There was, long be- fore this war in South Africa began, question between England and the United States, regarding the Alaskan boundary. There was a claim pending.
 "I do not say that the moment this war began in South Africa we should have made claim against England, but I do say that the advancement of a pending claim should not have been delayed one moment. We ceased al that time to be neu- tral. If the United States administration had gone on enforcing that claim this war would never have begun. The Canadian troops would have abundant business at home.
 In his speech last night President Mo Kinley said there was no alliance with Eng land. I believe that. It is not an alliance. It's surrender. a surrender of the control of our foreign policy into the hands of the foreign office. We do not get anything. We give up and the government discharges a consul at Pretoria because he complained that his mail had been opened. boy 2 years old is put in his place. the son of our former ambassador and more than that he gets his last instructions, nc: from the gov ernment at Washington, bu. frors tse for eign office in London" tf or

Southern Republicans Holding

M'KINLEY'S ORDER MODIFIED
Resulted From Conference Between Bingham and Vaughan, Colonel Dick ard Mark Hanna-Dele-
 gates Must Not Contest

Washington. March 4.-(Specia1.) )-South- ern republicans who are holding federal jobs have not liked the idea of not being able to go as delegates to the national con yention Tn order to ascertain just how stringent the order promulgated by the president forbidding office-holders from going as delegates is to be enforced, del egatfon from Alabama has been in the city comforting with Senator Hanna and Colo mittee. They were headed by J. H. Bing- ham, who is collector of internal revenue at Birmingham, and District Attorney William Vaughan. Both want to be chair man of the state committee and want to go to the convention as delegates.
 It was decided that in the case of the southern states 1t would be well to allow federal officials to go to the national con yention as delegates, providing they were selected by their various states or dis tricts without contest.
 Some time ago President Mckinley an- nounced that he did not desire federal of- f1ce-holders to make contests for places on state delegations for the reason that he did not want 1t to appear that he was re- nominated by a convention packed with office-holders. This modification of his re- quest will be received with joy by hun dreds of office-holders who want to go to the convention, and who will now seek to be selected as delegates without opposi- tion so as to come within the terms of the presidents modified order A H.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 1.-The Rev. Dr. Smith, pastor of one of the most prom inent and fashionable churches here, said this morning in his sermon: "To listen to a few magnates and burden our Porto Rico with a tariff is a criminal course. Some of our politicians are smarting under the lash of public censure and are studying the art of being two-faced and two-voiced to extricate themselves from an awkward dilemma.
 "If the islands are equal to our average state on the score of intelligence, then we violate our law in laying a tax without their consent. Our national enthusiasm for expansion or imperialism may carry our people so far as to override all com mon sense and common honor. Let us keep hands off those far-off shining isles if We cannot nurse them into strength of brain and life.'

ATTACKED BY BURGLARS
Man and His Wife May Both Die as
 Result

Norfolk, Va, March 4-George w. Miller, a baker, who works at Newport News and his wife were assaulted by burglar while asleep at their home in Brambletown, a suburb of this city, and so seriously in- jured that it is feared one or both of them may die. Miller returned home last night with his wages and several hours later a burglar entered. His entrance awakened Miller's 12-year-old son who slept in the same room, but was too frightened to make an outcry. When the burglar, who accord ing to the boy was negro, discovered the boy was awake he sprang at the sleeping parents and beat them with club and left them for dead. He then took all the money in the house and escaped. Feelings runs high and the burglar may be lynched if caught.

 "Congressman W. L. Terry of this city has been defeated for reelection by Hon. Charles e. Reid, of Morrillton. The pri- marles held in Yell county yesterday set tied the matter beyond further doubt.

 "The district is composed of Pulaski, Perry. Conway, Logan, Franklin, Pope. Johnson and Yell. On account of the little vote boiled at Little Rock at the last gen eraI election the vote of Pulaski in the convention Is reduced from IS to 10. which made it necessary for MT. Terry to carry either Pope, Yell, Johnson or Conway to win. The first three held primaries during the past week and declared In favor of Terry. Conway is yet to be heard from but as 1t ds Mir.

 'Mr. Terry ffas represented this district in congress for the past ten years, and ds recognized as one of the leading members from the south. He is the ranking demo- cratic member of the house judiciary com mittee. His absence from the canvass contributed largely toward his defeat.
