Ex-State Chairman Garman, on
the same subject, writes
HON. w. 7. GREASY,
Catawissa, Pa.
My Dear Sir Il rejoice to know
that you have again concluded to
become candidate for Member of
the State Legislature from your
district, as your presence in the
House will very materially strength
Ell the Democratic delegation. We
have suffered during the last several
sessions of the Legislature, by rea-
son of the fact that the Democratic
constituents have sent new and in
experienced men to represent them,
with the result that the cities OF
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, which
regularly return their Representa-
tives, have an undue weight in the
shaping of legislation. The coun.
try people hav We been complaining
for years about the unjust laws, es-
pecially those of taxa ton, yet they
persist in sending Representatives
who spend the whole session learn
ing the routine and methods of bus
mess, and who are, of course, at
the mercy of those who understand
all the details OF Legislative man
agement. In your case, the county
of Columbia has very frequently
made an exception. and the result
is that your county has considera-
bic voice in the management of
public affairs, and will have still
more, if they are wise enough to
return you as their Representative.
During my term as State Chairman
l found that we were handicapped
for the very reason that our men
were so largely new men. During
the coming session the great battle
for reform legislation must be
fought, and while l have no per-
sonal acquaintance with any other
persons in your district, who might
aspire to the membership of the
Legislature, still think that a
proper, patriotic disposition, if
there be any such candidates, would
lead them to give you free and
fair field. know that the position
is not lucrative one to you, but
also know that in the performance
of your duty to the public you
have not hesitated 70 make such
personal sacrifices as were demanded
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-05-31

by the party, and Tor public inter est.
Hoping that your candidacy will
be successful. for the reason that
the state at large is interested in
capable representation, l remain,
Very truly yours.
JOHN M. GARMAN.

David Starr Jordan, of the Leland
Stanford university, told me that at
the beginning Of the Spanish war about
60 Of the students of that institution
entered the army with the expectation
of being sent to engage the Spaniards
in Cuba. They were switched off by
the government, however and ordered
to Manila, where they were sent
against the natives of Luzon. 1t was
this California regiment which led the
troops in the capture of the Filipino
capital, and they brought back with
them and gave to Mr.. Jordan docu-
ments and reports which showed
wonderfully well organized system OF
government on the island. These 60
young men from that western uniyer-
sity are now scattered throughout Cal
ifornia and Mr.. Jordan told me that
each one of them was an earnest and
hard working missionary in the cause
of anti-imUerialisr" Edward Atkin-

To the Democratic Peters Of CoLum

In answer to Mr.. c. Il. Schlicher' s
letter of May 1o, 1900, / will call
attention to his withdrawal card
published in the papers two years
ago, which reads as follows:

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-05-31

Now, let us examine Mr.. Schlich-
er's conduct after the above with
drawal, which, he now says, was
done in my behalf, and in the in
terest of party harmony" At
the primary election of 1898, when
the votes were counted in Beaver
(Mr. Schlicher's) township, l re-
ceived 80 votes, as against 6S votes
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-05-31

cast for a Gold Democrat, whose
name was never registered as a can
didate, and whose name did not ap-
pear on the official ballot. Yet,
not content with working and vot-
ing i'll opposition to Our recognized
party rules at the aforesaid primary
election, he and his friends urged and
helped place an independent Gold
Democrat on the ticket against the
regular nominees at the November
election of 1898.
deeply regret to be obliged TO
call public attention to the above
facts, or to any personal controversy
that may exist between Mr..
Schlicher and myself, but believing
in the fairness of the Democratic
voters of Columbia county, l feel
that they have right to know the
two sides Of the man who asks
their support.
AS regards the tenure of my Of
fee have only to say that my cam
didacy, at this time, as my friends
well know, is not of my own seek
ing. Were l to consult the wishes
OF myself and family alone, l would
remain upon my farm and attend to
the duties there that have been
neglected. In now permitting my
name to go before the people of
Columbia county, l am responding
to the wishes of the Democrats of
the county and state, and of the
public press, in doing what, under
present conditions, l have been led
to believe, my Democratic duty.
Being unable to see all the voters
of the county personally, l respect
fully solicit your support, and if
nominated and elected l shall hold
sacred the confidence and trust
| placed in me.
Thanking you for your hearty
support in the past, / remain,

hope and trust you will not de-

BRITISH LOST HEAVILY.

Attacked the Beers Near Molteno but
Were Compelled TO Retire.
STERKsTRoM, Sunday, Feb. 25.-A
reconnaissance in force yesterday by
General Gatacre with 10 guns found the
Beers occupying q ridge three miles be-
yond Molteno in the Stormberg drec-
ton. Montmorency's scouts charged the
Beers, pouring d deadly fire. The
scouts were finally compelled to retire,
having lost heavily; IL are missing.
Captain Montmorency and Lieutenant
Colonel Hoskier were killed.
The reconnaissance was valuable and
would have been most satisfactory had
it not been for the unfortunate disaster
to the scouts, with whom Lieutenant
Colonel Hosker happened to be. Their
loss was four killed and many wounded
and missing.
DIED IN THE POORHOUsE.
Duluth Man Left Property Now worth
a5 Hundreds of Thousands.
DULUTH, Feb. 27.-Johann Mueller,
who died a supposed pauper, left prop
erty which has risen in value to several
hundred thousand dollars. Mueller was
q homesteader who took up government
pine landa few miles north Of this city
q few years ago.. He became SO involved
in financial troubles that many trifing
Judgments were taken against his land,
on which he had also given two small
mortgages aggregating about $500.
Finally, IA months ago, he died in the
poorhouse. He had no relatives in
America and his body was buried by the
county.
One of the mortgages held against
him was by a Catholic priesto of this city
who foreclosed it and then bought an
assignment Of the sherif's certificates
on the first mortgage, thereby shutting
ont the claimants who had sued for
title.
Found Iron ON the Land.
About the time Of his death it was
found that valuable deposits Of iron ore
existed in the neighborhood of his
homestead. The discoveries of ore
crept closer and closer to MueIer's land
and finally the priest was able to nego-
tiate an option on half Of it to the Car
negie steel interests for $20O,OO 0 cash.
The other half he held for 800, 900. Ore
was found by the Carnegie company
and within tho last few days the option
has been closed and the remaining half
has been absolutely Withdrawn from
the market al worth far more than
100000. In the meantime Mueller's
heirs have been found living pen.

Surveyor LOCKER. in his annual report to
the District Commissioners, urges that
definite action be taken soon to determine
southeastern river lands and water front
of the city, which has never been settled.
This Is desirable enterprise. Incidentally.
however a much greater interest is aroused
in the public mind concerning the status of
the Potomac waterfront titles. 1t was
hoped. when the United States Supreme
Court sustained the governments title
Few months ago. that there would be no
further obstacles in the way OF a compre-
hensive Improvement of the water front
But complications have arisen to delay this
contamination and the surveyors mention
of the Eastern branch titles brings again to
still hanging fire.

ton IS the appointment of a board of ex-
perts capable Of devising plans for a large
and even elaborate scheme of wharfage for

settled upon the government It should be
easy so to finance a costly scheme Of river
improvement as to bring a return even
after providing a proper sinking fund to
liquidate the initial outlay.
Although the delays in adjudicatine the
title may be prolonged beyond the present
year. there is nothing to hinder a start on
the preliminary survey Of the case by such
a commission as just suggested, in order to
have a plan outlined for the consideration
of Congress by the time the litigation is
settled beyond appeal. Such large enter
prises are better handled when anticipated
to a certain extent, and there Is no reason
why, without committing itself even to the
principle of wharf improvement. Congress
should not next winter organize an inquiry
to insure studious consideration of the
premises. To this end it is to be hoped that
the Commissioners will in their annual re-
port vigorously urge this measure of public
improvement. pointing to the necessity of
curing the disreputable conditions which
years of uncertain title have caused on the
water front.

Courts and Shirt Waists,
From the Pittsburg Dispatch

With regard to that live issue whether
the shirt waist man shall come into vogue
to match his better half, II is necessary TO
observe that while society has not given a
decision the courts are divided. A Cincin-
natl judge the other day won temporary
fame by informing jury and counsel tina I
they could take off their coats and merely
evidence of good faith, casting off
the judicial coat A Delaware judge in ruI-
ing the other way was even less formal. A
lawyer giving in his adherence to the shirt
waist emancipation appeared in court with
out his coat. The judge merely leveed a
frown at him and ordered him to stop
that" THE judicial ruling may not have
been precise. but it was comprehcnded The
lawyer retired and reappeaYed in the habili-
mcnt of etiquette and discomfort
So, whether fashion indorses the male

squarely as tbe Allegheny county courts on

ings OF eacn separate court before they at

The reports of the battle of Peitsang. on
Sunday are yet incomplete and fncon-
elusive. All that is known Is that the allied
forces came into collision with large
Chinese army In strong position and
fought for hours with a loss estimated In
the first reports at 1, 20 men. There Is no
authentic statement Of the numbers or
losses of the Chinese, although a DISPOSE
ton prevails to estimate both as greatly
in excess of those of the allies. Enough is
known. however. to Indicate that the inter
nationals were successful In that they
forced the Chinese to retreat: also that in
all probability the Pekin authorities have
massed a very strong force between that
city and TEN Tsin in the hope of prevent
ing the international army from advancing
farther.
1t IS comforting to note from General
ChafYee's incomplete report of the battle
that the engagement was begun by the al
lies after a consultation This shows that
the internationals are working in unity.
that they are not in such discord as the
sensational correspondents at Shanghai and
the gossip writers In Europe would have
the world believe The movement is briefly
described by the American commander.

advance of the various forces. but con-
sistent vancouver, each of the nationalities

IL will be well for readers of the dis
patches henceforward to guard against
placing too implicit faith in reports Of dis
cord at Ten Tsin the road to Pekin.
The allied army Is being followed by many
correspondents. some Of whom are reliable.
while others reckless fellows without
definite connections and with regard for
their own regulations or for the feelings of
the Christian world. They have already
from their stronghold at Shanghai sent
many fake about both the situation at
Pekin and the conditions at Tien Tsin.
Their fsvorite play. now that the ministers
are known to have been alive on July Is.
Is to tell disauieting tales of friction in the
allied camps. of Jealousies among COM
manders, OF r-fusals of troops of one ma
tionality to obey the commands of a gen.
eral of another.
There doubtless Will be friction among
the internationals 1t would be millennial
to find such large enterprise, uIsier such
extraordinary conditions. working without
a hitch But it is not to be expected that
the jealOusies Of the commanders OF the
racial prejudices OF the troops will be per
mitted by the powers to wreck the expedi-
ton. or to precipitate disaster. General
