MUST SAVE THE GOVERN

This, Towne Says, is the Great
Issue of the Present Cam
paign.

DULUTH, MIMI, April TO-
The possible candidacy of Chas.
A. Towne for the Vice Presidency
on the Democratic ticket makes
his views as to current issues of
interest. The following is an ex.
tract from a statement made bv
Mr.. Towne:
''The principle on which the
claims for bimetallism rested in
1896 is avowed by every standard
political economist that has ever
written during 1000 years in any
language or any country, and it
Is no abandonment of that princi.
pie to admit that circumstances
may temporarily have obscured
the Importance of the question,
either by a relaxation of the
rlgors OF recommendation through
Increased monetary supplies or
by the appearance of other issues
which, because Of their far. reach.
ing Importance, must claim first
place in the interests of the peo.
pie until they are settled-and
settled right.
''There are no terrOrs for me
in the detractiOns of either NAL.
evolent misrepresentation or ig.
norant malice. The Republican
party has followed up it's surren.
der to the banks in 1896 by as
base a surrender to the trusts. and
above and beyond all else it has
challenged the patriotism of the
American people by laying an
unholy hand upon the Constitu.
ton and by proposing to divorce

Pushing Our War Claim.

Every citizen of Frederick, with the
best interests of the city at heart, most
confidently hopes for a successful
issue as a result of the joint hearing
granted to a committee of our leading
citizens by the Senate and House COM
mittees, in Washington, d. c., on
Wednesday last. Messrs. Milton G.
Urner and William P. Maulsby were
spokesman aud they eloquently plead
ed the just cause in which they and al
of us are so interested The entire
matter was gone over as completely as
the limited time granted would allow,
aud it is safe to say that the statements
made by tie above gentlemen, backed
up by history and their own personal
recollection and experience, had mark
ed effect upon the committee, all of
whom manifested much interest and
asked many questionsicc ncerning sew.
eral points which heretofore had moi
been made quite clear to them.
Whether or not Congress SEES fit IL
allow the passage of this long-pendin9
and deserving relief till, there is nc
question but that the merits of the case
have been set forth in the proper light
and the proper steps taken to secure
the payment of this. debt owed by the
nation to Frederick. For many years
we have had this case in the hands Of
an attorney and every attempt to hav-
ing it considered favorably by Congress
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1900-04-13

was afforded by sort of offset or
seat on which the body rested.
The sufferings thus endured were
of the most excruciating charac-
ter, but these were some times
shortened by breaking the limbs.
Other methods of shortening the
sufferings of the victim were by
building fires under the cross to
induce suffocation, or the letting
loose of wild animals to tear
down and devOur the bodies.
While the victim was hanging
on the cross a guard was station
ed to watch his dying agOnies.
This was necessary from the lin
gering character of the death,
which sometimes did not take
place for two to three days, at
last the result of gradual benumb.
ing of the body and starvation.
But for the presence of the guard
the person might be taken down
and recovered, as was done in
the case of a friend of JOSephus,
the Jewish historian, though only
one survived out of the three to
whom the same nursing was ap-
piled. Generally the body was
allowed to rot on the cross or be
devoured by beasts and birds.
Burial was generally forbidden,
though it could be permitted by
special favor. In consequence of
certain passages in Deuteronomy
an exception was made in favor
of the Jewish nation.
The agony endured in crucitix-
ion can be attributed to several
causes. The unnatural position
and violent strain of the body,
though not so bad at first, would
gradually become almost unen-
durable. The nails driven
through the hands and feet,
which are full of nerves, would
create the most intense agony.
The exposure of the wounds
brought on Inflammation and
gangrene. In the distended por-
ton of the body more blood flowed
through the arteries than could
be carried back by the veins,
hence the blood found its way
into the stomach and head, the
blood vessels of the latter becom.
ing pressed and swollen, causing
most excruciating headache.
To all this add a burning and
raging thirst and you have hell
on earth in the way of punish
ment. The period at which death
ended the sufleriugs of the victim
varied, as it depended upon the
constitution of the sufferer, the
degree of exposure and the con-
ditiOn of the weather. 1t rarely
occurred in less than forty eight
hours, and number of instances
are recorded where the viutN KS
have survived for seven or eiS mt
days.
When we consider that this
was the terrible mode of death
melted out to the Saviour of man.
kind in his atonement for the
sins of the universe, it should
cause thrill Of horror and pity
to pass through the brain and
heart of every believer in Chris
tianity.

TO FIGHT THE TRUSTS.

cARNEeIsls lAIEsI PROJECT

According to a Pittsburg dispatch
Andrew Carnegie has decided to build
a railway from his plants to tide-water.
He will finance the project and does
not doubt but that it will pay when
the enormous tonnage which the mills
and furnaces OF Allegheny county fur
.nish is diverted to the new road.
Two routes are proposed, one termi-
Mating at Norfolk, Va. and the other
which is perhaps the most feasible, is
to build east from Homestead and Du-
quesne to meet the Reading road, and
arrange with it for a terminal at tide
water.
This may be nothing more than an
effort of Mr.. Carnegie to secure better
rates from the Pennsylvania and other
roads now carrying the immense pro-
duct of the Carnegie mills and fur
naces. but should 1t turn out to be
mere than a bluff, the Reading railroad
is in an excellent position to offer tide
water facilities The purchase of the
Wilmington and Northern road, with
It's docks at Deep Water Point on the
Delaware, has put it IN a good po-
sition to bid for this trade. II is the
shortest distance to tide-water from
the coal fields. and it would be the
shortest and best route to the sea from
Pittsburg.
The present docks could be extended
easily. aid, the terminus being so close
to our city, it would he a great thing
for Wilmington il 1t could be brought
to pass.

DR.. BALLS POPULARITY

J. Frank Alice. chairman Of the Ad-
dicks State Committee, has written a
letter to Philip Q. Churchman, chair
man OF the Republican State Commit
tee. officially informing him that the
Add.cksite committee viii not accept
DIR. L. Heisler Ball as the Republican
candidate for the long term in Con-
gress. 1t is a labored attempt to justify
the action Of the State Committee in
needing the demands OF the Addicks
cabal that DR.. Ball be not accepted. But
two reasons are given. One is that DR.
Ball Is unpopular; the other that he il
a bitter factionist. Neither is true. M
man in New Castle county is NOR
popular. and no man who has been en-
gagged in active political work has s.
demeaned himself as to make fewe

does not satisfy either the Republican
or the Union Republican voters They
want harmony and one ticket 1t is
their desire TO sweep Delaware in No
vember. While the Addicks cabal may
object to Dr. Balls candidacy for per-
.sonal reasons, the voters accept him as
their candidate. The time has come
when they demand action and not idle
words on paper. The Addicks State
Committee must recede from its POSI-
ton and quit blocking harmony. The
Republican voters of Delaware. ire
spective Of leadership, demand it.
Mr.. Alice errs when he says that Dr.
Ball is unpopular Two years ago
when John II. Hofecker, a Union Re
publican, was running for representa-
tive in Congress, DR.. Ball, a Regular
Republican, for state treasurer, and
John A. Lingo a Union Republican,
for state auditor, DR.. Balls vote was
2O6 ahead Of that of Mr.. Hoffecker and
Mr. Lingo was third, Not that alone.
but, as another evidence of Dr. Balls
popularity, he received the votes OF
forty-eight Democrats in his home dis
trict.
When Mr. Alice says that If DR.. Ball
were accepted by the Addicks State
Committee the Union Republican voters
would not support him, he manifests
a weakness that is far from commend
able If the voters behind the two COM
mittees will not support a compromise
state ticket, agreed upon by their duly
chosen representatives. what is the use
of having a compromise ticket? Both
Mr.. Alice and DR.. Layton assured the

there is no excuse for the
attitude they now assume.

LEVY COURT UNDER FIRE

Based on the report of the auditors,
charges Of serious character have been
made against the Democratic Levy
Court OF this county. These charges
were made some months ago, and were
taken cognizance of by Pomona
Grange, which called upon the attor-
ney- general, deputy attorney general
and the grand jury to make an in
vestigation into the actions OF the Levy
Court and ascertain whether there had
been such extravagant and fraudulent
use OF the public funds as alleged
That resolution came before the grand
Jury yesterday afternoon, and Peter A.
Horty J. X. Polk, John S. Miller,
James Cranston and James A. Mulligan
were appointed a committee to con-
duct the investigation, with instruc-
tions to report their finding in Novem-
ber.
That there has been extravaganza is
shown by the comparative figures pre-
sented to Judge Spruance by the audi
tors. The list OF warrants drawn shows
that large sums Of public money have
been allowed and ordered paid to neal
relatives and closely-associated busi.
ness connections Of certain of the Levy
Court Commissioners. It remains fol
the committee appointed by the granC
Jury to make a thorough and impartia
investigation for the sole purpose o
asoertaining the truth as to the man
ner in which the county money ha
been spent.

cution nor a whitewash. They merel
want the facts as they exist, and tn
committee Of the grand jury should g

take the public into its confidence
