Editor COUNTY RECORD:
As the season approaches fer the
gay and festive candidate, fellow
naturally getsto speculating On the
APPS and downs of the sspirsnts for
public favor, and, as i am one OF the
speculatiug spectators, l trust that
the article below may serve as a
pointer for some, a reproof to Others,
xnd a seulce of amusement to the
rest Of your readers.
Thsre was a man whsse name was
,;onn. A common man. although he
had proper name. He MAS sober
man and industrious, and WAS con-
qented with his lot, for he drove An
.ox and must needs have lot.
He had. at the sacrifice of consid-
.erable time, attained the full and
lawful age of twenty-one years, and
not being able to read or write any
mart of the State constitution, or to
understand it when fully and clearly
explained to him; and further, not
having any property qualification OF
snv kind or nature except a wife and
seventeen children; and being able,
still. further, to prove satisfactorily
that he had firmly but politely de-
.cllnea to pay any poll tax, he was
,chrcrfullv and enthusiastically ac-
corded the privilege of casting a
vote.
Now, it came to pass one day that
the man John was holding a heated
.argument with the beast tnat he
drove. and while he was belaboring
him to induce him to walk in the
straight and narrow furrow, ne esPieo
stranger Zone, however, with whom
he was well acquainted during elec-
ton years) approaching him with an
air of great satisfaction and a big
palmetto fan.
And ,h- man John rested from his
labor with the OK.
And it was so that the stranger
friend was willy politician and au
cd one. And when he had drawn
nigh unto the man John he gave
him the "glad hand (the other being
in hiding among his coattalls be-
cause of the deceptioW and spoke
warmly unto him and said: ''They
tell me. ole fellow, you are out for

"by the by. suppose you know

And the man departed and went
INTO the uttermost part of the region
rDu0d about aud ensnared many.
And when the stranger had de-
oarted the man John began to pom
,er the words that had been told
unto him: insomuch that his whole
family came to let him know that 1t
WAS time to let the OK Craze and
himself gorge ere he had resumed
his controversy with the beast.
But the u,au John was changed

, BRYAN JN RHODE ISLAND.
Opens Weeks Tour of New England
 Lrntz in the Party.

Providence, Jan. 29.-Colonel w. J. Bryan to-day began weeks tour of New England for the purpose of dis cussing the questions of the day, speak ing three times at Pawtucket and Woonsocket in the afternoon and this city in the evening. As the state of Rhode Island is just about on the eve of a gubernatorial campaign, which will close with an election in April, MT. Bryan's coming is timely for the dem- ocratic party, His chief address in In- fantry hall tonight is considered the first of a series of rallies arranged by the democratic state committee in its effort to carry the state. Moreover, as the legislature will meet tomorrow the gathering brought together prom inent men of both big parties from all over the state, to hear the doctrines of Jeffersonian democracy expounded by a national democratic leader. The speech of this evening, the third delivered by the colonel within six hours, like the two previously given, was listened to by an audience that taxed the capacity of the hall to the utmost. There was plenty of music and enthusiasm. Con-
 gressman Lentz, who is a member of Colonel Bryans party, also made ringing speech at the meeting here.

4 BOILER BATTERY EYPLODES.
 Steel Mill Destroyed and n Dozen Men ScriOusly Injured.

Pittsburg, Jan 29.-The steel depart ment of Phillips, Nimick &c Co.'s rolling mill was wrecked to-day and a dozen men were injured by an explosion of battery of four large boilers. The roar of the bursting boilers was heard throughout the lower end of the city, and several thousand persons were at tracted to the scene. The loss to the plant will be enormous. All the injured men were quickly removed from the ruins. Five were mutilated almost be- yond recognition. One man died and more deaths may result. The injured were taken to temporary hospital and physicians were summoned. A rescu- ing party then began searching the wreckage, which, it is supposed entombs other workmen. Those most seriously injured were:
 Simon Holland, fireman, died at Ho- meopathic hospital; Daniel Noonan, badly cut and scalded Constantine Gallagher, badly burned and cut; Will liam Kirkpatrick, Frank Stone, Patrick Daly, Jeremiah Collins, Barney Easter- burg, William T. Cook and Peter Byrnes.

Senator Mason Takes Vigorous Excep- ton to m AIleged LMteLxl.M.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Senator Mason, rep, of Illinois, arose to-day soon after the senate convened to question of privilege and sharply attacked the Brit ieh government and the British vice consul at New Orleans because of an interview in which the vice consul had
 assailed MT. Mason for the position he
 had taken in behalf of the Transvaal re-
 public in it's war with Great Britain
 MT. Mason attacked not only the con-
 sui, but the policy of Great Britain in levying war upon an inferior nation.
 Mr. Hoar, rep, of Massachusetts,
 thought the consul's purported remarks so serious that the matter ought to be investigated by the government, but at the same time he deprecated any at tack upon Great Britain, with the peo- pie of which the American people ought not only to live in peace, but as loving and devoted friends MT. Lodge, rep, of Massachusetts, sharply arraigned the British consul for his utterances against United States senator, and believed it ought not lightly to be passed, MT Tillman, dem., of South Carolina, de- livered a foreeful and quite characteris- tic speech on the Philippine question, in which he maintained that this gov- ernment ought to extend to the Filipi- nos the right to govern themselves, the United States guarding them against the aggression of other nations.

QUEENS SPEECH TO PARLIAMENT.
1t Will be Colorless-OM1y n Brief Mcn- ton of the War

ton of the War.
 London, Jan. 29.--It has been learned by the Associated Press that the queens speech at the reassembling of parlia- ment tomorrow will be coloress. There will be short reference to the war, chiefly confined to regrets at the terri ble bloodshed and encomiums of the men who have laid down their lives for the country. The whole proclamation indicates that there is not the slightest idea of giving up the war until Great Britain's ends are gained.
 The queen will further say that rela- tions with all the foreign states are very friendly, and will express great pleasure and general satisfaction at the patriot ism shown bS the colonies at a critical period in sending troops to South Afri- ca and at the patriotism existing in the empire generally. It will also express qualification at the offers of troops from Indian natives and will allude to the satisfactory completion of the treaty re- lating to Samoa.
 A cabinet minister who was interview ed by a representative of the Associated Press said: q do not believe the ses- sion opening tomorrow will materialize into anything serious. Some of our Irish friends may try to expire on the floor, but find that in moment of serious na- tional crisis Irish eloquence has little effect, and such orators generally take a back seat. The diatribes on Che gov ernment will doubtless be little more vicious than formerly, but I believe so- ber-minded men of both parties realize, however, that whatever there may be to criticise, the government is doing its best, and that it would almost be un- patriotic to attempt to tie it's hands at such a time. We are not nervous as to the result of the session.

4 DITIDEND OF SEVEN PER CENT Declared by American Steel dE Wire Co. ' Statement by Presid nt Gataa

| Statemcnt Dy President Gate1. [ | Chicago, Jan. 29.-The directors of the
 American Steel and Wire company to-.
 day declared a dividend of per cent.
 on the common stock, payable in four | quarterly payments, April 2, July 2, October 2, 1900, and January 2, 1901. The statement issued showed that the con-
 pany had made a net profit of s12,
 53O in 1899. The stockholders will meet in Chicago February 10, when action
 will be taken on the proposition to re-
 tire $5,000,0O0 of the S40,000,00O preferred. issue of the company. President J.W.
 Gates in commenting on the action of the directors in declaring dividend on the common stock said to-day:
 Tt has been determined by the direc-
 tors to be the policy of the company to give the holders of the common stock the benefit of the earnings of the com pany concurrently with the preferred stock, payable, however, during the suc- ceeding years after the dividends on the preferred have been paid. The pol icy of this manner of payment is prompted by two conditions: First, We are advised by our general counsel that under the laws of New Eersey no dividend can be ( slared or paid to the holders of common stock until preferred stockholders have had g. full years dividend. Second, 1t is fair and just that the holders of the pre- ferred stock should have full benefit of their preferential securities by hav- ing the dividends paid one year in ad- vance of the common stockholders Z
 These conditions are accomplished by paying the preferred stock dividend quarterly, during each of the current dividend year and paying the common stockholders dividends of the Earnings for the same year, but during the sub-S sequent year. The earnings of the com- pany are especially gratifying to the management since they more than sus- tain the expectations of the directors entertained early in the year. From the outlook of the business 1t is safe to say that the earnings for the year 1900 will be still better than those of the past year, assuring to the stockholders of the company, both preferred and common, every expectation of perma- nent dividends"

NO PENSIONS ron nEArnnR MEN.
House Takes UnfnvOrnble Action-Bll
 to Imv~stfgntchGagc

Washington, Jan. 29.--The bill for the reorganization and improvement of the weather bureau, which includes provis- ion for pensioning disabled and aged employees of the service, received a black eye in the house to-day. The bill wae bitterly fought by the opponents of civil pension rolls on account of the life tenure provision it contained, and it was side-tracked on a test vote of 57 to 73. Although the speaker ruled that it remained unfinished business when the house was again in committee of the whole the opponents of the measure be- lieve the action to-day kills it.
 The early portion of the day was de- voted to lively scrimmage over the Sulzer resolution to investigate Secre- tary Gage which the committee on rules recommended should be sent to the ways and means committee, as the lat ter committee has the response of the secretary in it's possession. There was no opposition to the proposed action,' but MT. Richardson of Tennessee and MT. Sulzer of New York used 1t as a text for renewing fheir attacks on the secretary. MT. Gage was defended by MT. Hopkins of Illinois, MT. Hill of Con- necticut and MT. Dazell of Pennsylva- mia. A bill to require pilots and officers of steam vessels to make oath to their applications for licenses was passed.

PROTECTED RAILROAD LEASES.
New Feature in the Existing Complica-
 tions in New England.

Boston, Jan. 29.-The Globe will say tomorrow: Tn the existing compli-
 cations regarding the big projected railroad leases in which all New Eng
 land is just now interested, has beeh added new feature. The threat which
 certain Massachusetts Central interests have recently been making against the | Boston and Maine in connection with the proposed lease by the latter of the
 Fitchburg, took material form yesterday in the forwarding to Governor Crane of letter protesting against the lease on the gr0lnd that If carried out, 1t will be likely to adversely affect the l interests of the Central Massachusetts stockholders.
 "The Central Massachusetts, as is | well known, is Itself leased to the Bos- ton and Maine through the latter's con- trol of the Boston and Lowell and there is now pending suit brought last July by the Central Massachusetts stock holders seeking to annul the lease on the ground of unfair treatment of the prop erty by the Boston and Maine. The first definite move was made yes- terday when the directors held a meet ing and voted to send the letter to Governor Crane. This communication, in addition to stating the reasons urg- ed by the Central Massachusetts people for opposing the "deal'' also sets forth that the directors have voted to apply to the courts for an injunction against the measure
 Tt is expected that Governor Crane on receipt of the letter will refer it to the attorney general for such action as he may see fit to take. It Is also ex- pected that the bill in equity will be filed tomorrow. President Futile of the Boston and Main has formally re- newed his proposition to the directors of the Fitchburg to lease the road for ninety-nine years, but no date has yet been set for a meeting of the Fitch burg directors to act upon the proposi- tion. It is possible that the matter may not be taken up until the date of the next regular meeting February 13."
