Bad Runaway at Dodgeville. /.

We learn with regret that Mr.. and
Mrs. Il. }. Laughlin, of the Hotel
Higbee, Dodgeville, were both seri-
ously hurt in IA runaway accident last
monday. They Were riding together
in buggy on the Dodgeville fair
ground, Mr.. Laughlin driving. when
the bit broke in the mouth of the
horse, leaving the driver no means
of controlling him. The horse ran
headlong over an embankment ten
to fifteen feet high. The occupants
of the buggy were thrown violently
to the ground, and Mrs. Laughlin
dragged some distance in the wreck
ci the vehicle. Both were so badly
hurt that they had to be carried
home. Mrs. Laughlin's injuries are
considered most serious, and it is
feared she will be loid up for some
time. Mr. Laughlin's most painful
hurt is in the knee, from the horse
stepping npon it.
Above was made from verbal reports of the
accident tcurrent here. later our Dodgeville
correspondent gives different and more cor
rect account. See pages,

John Francis For Sheriff.

After trip through large part
OF the county. Mr.. John Francis is
quite hopeful of being the republi.
can nominee for sheriff, especially
If the delegates from Mineral Poin;
city and town support him heartily
and earnestly. Mineral Points sup
port of Mr.. Francis is not simply be-
cause Of his residence here, but more
especially because of his sknown worth
as citizen and fitness for the posi-
ton, which should weigh more in
the selection of pnblic officials than
the accident of residence. Four 81
present county officers are residents
of Dodgeville, and the service is
none the worse in consequece of that
fact. Other candidates from the
same town are expected to appear
before the looming county conven-
ton, and they should be considered
on their individual merits, without
regard as to how many Dodgeville
men are on the ticket, as should can
didates from Mineral Point or any
other place.
The above was written with an un-
derstanding that Mr.. G. H. Terrill
had decided not to be a candidate,
buC later we learn that he is still in
the field.

From the New York sun.
The Hon. Arthur Pue Germans brief
for the Democratic party will not in.
crease the Democratic conviction Of his
wish to see Colonel Bryan elected Presi-
dent. Here is sentence with palpa-
BILE wink in it:
II thilk that the passage Of the gold
standard bill will also help us, because
it will remove all danger of the free
coinags Of silver and viii bring back to
the Democratic ranks those who left il
in 1896 on tile silver issue"
ELECT lis because the Republicans
have prevented us from doing any
HARM" that would be bold and an in
spring cry for the Democrats. And the
election of a Democratic President and
House of Representatives wonld be a
queer way Of showing that all danger of
the free coinage Of silver has been re-
moved. That danger must remain great
as long as there are millions OF voters
anxious to bring it on. But probably
Mr.. German is sardonically advertising
the fatal weakness of his party.

a reconstruction by Constitutional
Convention at some time in the near
future, are influenced by the belief that
the inevitable result of trying to over
come difficulties by avoiding or ignoring
or by new and strained Interpretation of
things which conflict with present and
future policies will be the development
into condition of having only an I'M
written Constitution, as has Great
Britain, the written instrument bscom-
ing obsolete; and that we will have a
new Constitution in fact, though not of
record. They feel that if we are to re-
tain a written Constitution, the changes
in it made necessary by new conditions
should be made in writing in order to
preserve stability of our institutions.
Timidity which would cause some poll
ticians to shrink from meeting the
question frankly still admits of their
ignoring a constitutional restriction
which they have not the courage to re-
move.
A danger forseen from system Of ir-
regular and informal revisions OF the
Constitution "by general consent" is
that emotional and hastily formed pub.
lie sentiment, which can exist but for an
hour, may be left without restraint, and
constitutional construction become mere
" matter Of compliance with the de-
nands OF the hour.
| The Populists, with a certain theory OF
socialism, propose what they term a
system of s'initiative and referendum"
for legislation, so that what shall be
considered would be not the need and
the wisdom Of the law, but the momen-
tary, unconsidered, and, possibly, i'm
properly secured expression Of opinion at
the polls.
The ''initiative and referendum"
method OF constitutional construction
might lead to disaster. 1t would GER.
tainly leave our system OF government
constantly in doubt. 1t would be dan
gerous alike to all classes. At one time
the common people might be deprived Of
their liberties; at another the rich might
be despoiled Of their wealth. AT all times
subversion OF government would be pos
sible.
Yet it is foreseen that this nation is
not going to be forever held in restraint
by the defects of it's. Constitution or its
lack Of adaptability to new conditions,
and that il these defects are not correct.
ed in the fearless and proper way,
through formal revision, situation il

WHAT Mr.. ALEXANDER SAYS
,he Daily Republican q yesterday.

From the Daily Republican Of yesterday
President Alexander in discussing the
blanket franchise recently granted to the
Universal Conduit, Light, Heat and
Power Company, said he could not
understand why the Street and Sewer
Commissioners in 1892, refused the Oxy-
Hydrogen Coal Gas Company the privi-
lege to lay its pipes. The reason given
then was that it did not desire the streets
should be torn up. Since then 500, 900
have been expended on the streets, and
now, without a question. the Universal
Company is granted a permit to tear up
any and all streets of this city. But
the most peculiar part of the whole
franchise is that the Street and Sewer
Commissioners now insist that they have
not given this company exclusive rights
in our city.

TWO DEMOCRATIC SENATORS

From the Hayerhill. tMass.) Gazette Of Feb
ruary IL.
If j. Edward Add.cks succeeds in
breaking into the United States Senate
by way of Delaware he will have to do
SO without the aid OF the Regular Re-
publican organization of that State,
which has again repudiated the man
from Claymont and all his works. The
chances now are that the Democracy
will have two Senators from the Diamond
State for long period.
