FOundering in the Gale.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Jan. 30.-The
steam lighter Somerset Capt. S. W. Tay-
lor of New York is in the harbor today
after an experience with the storm which
will be long remembered. The lighter was
caught off Nauset by the gale and though
she had both anchors down she began to
drag. Only by putting the engines at full
speed was the strain relaxed.
For thirty-siX hours she lay in this po-
sition while the crew expected her to foun-
der. Saturday night when one anchor had
been lost she finally began to make head
way and reached Provincetown. She will
lay at Portsmouth until repairs are made

case broughtin the following verdict;
We find the deceased came to his
death on the eleventh day OF May,

O'Clock midnight, by pistol shots fred
by a person or persons to the jury

The evidence was concluded about

having been exa mined during the
day: Mrs. Mabel West, Mr.. and Mrs.
AiOer' o9S0, Mrs. Luzena Weldon,
George Weldon, Jacob seibert and
Joe Z. Bishop.
County Attorney Lafferty, who con-
Quoted the examination, stated that
all the evidence tended to show that
the death was case of suicide and
that the only circumstantial evidence
that would be at variance with this
was the fact that the gun was found
forty feet from the body on the oppo-
site side of shed. 1t is not likely
that there will ever be any arrests
made or prosecutions attempted in
connection with the case.

POLITICAL oHTGANERY.

The Democrats hope to make politi-
cal capital out of the visit of the Boer
ENJOYS to this country and in doing
so win defeat the object of their visit
to the United States, and give the
struggling South African Republic a
wrong conception Of the attitude of
our people In his letter to the Chica-
go Times-Herald, Walter Wellman
thus describes their entrance into
Washington:
There was pathetic scene in this
town last night. 1t was the arrival at
the American capital Of the Boer
commissioners. They came amid the
blaring of brass band and the lurid
rays of red fire and roman candles.
A small crowd of people lined Penn
sylvania avenue to see the procession
march up past the white house to the
hotel, whore areception was held lat
er lin the evening. The scene was
pathetic because the commissioners,
excellent, admirable men, patriots
who are painfully eager to do some
thing for their distressed countries,
have come all the way to America,
the land of freedom, only to fall into
the hands of lot of politicians and
cranks. If there was any chance
whatever for the commissioners to
accomplish anything here it was man
ifestly by holding alooffrom American
politics and presenting their case to
the people and to the government
upon its merits without entangling
themselves in the slightest with do
nestle contentious. This the COM
missioners wanted to do, but the
American politicians would not let
them, So last night we saw the peace
delegates riding through the streets of
Washington beside such great states
men aslAllen of Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's
senatorial mouthpiece, and Sulzer,
the Bowery democrat, who wants to
be nominated for vice president on
the Bryan ticket. The poor commits
sioners, unable to help themselves,
have since their arrival in this coun-
try been surrounded by that sort of
persons. Against their will, perhaps,
they have been taken in tow by men
who care nothing whatever for the
cause of the unfortunate South Afri- |
can republics, but whose only aim is
to promote the presidential ambition |
of Col. Bryan. 1t is pity the dele !
gates cannot rid themselves of these |
self-appointed escorts and boomers.

EYcEPT FOR TIE TARTFF

sugar industry of the United States,

NO SUCCESS ~ RL0LENGE.
Discussing the street car strike in
st. Louis the Globe Democrat says
THAT workingmen should desire
to better their condition is natural
and laudable. Honorable ambition
is one of the great forces of society.
This is country of unbounded OPP
portunity. The men who occupy the
most conspicuous places in American
affairs were once, with few excep-
tions, boys who began at the bottom
of the ladder. They did not work
up by regarding society as an enemy
or treating anyone with wrathful vio-
lence. 1t is by moving onward to-
gether in amity and considerateness
that a community advances. A strike
is an angry quarrel, often tending to
disorder and reaching no conclusion
that could not be better attained by
peaceful means. When strike in
iures not only the two parties to the
dispute, but distresses, in a stin
greater degree, the unoffending pub
lie, the wrong inflicted is plain and
cannot be too strongly condemned.
The severe and persistent punish
ment of 100000 persons because
1000 have disagreed is thoroughly I'M
reasonable. 1t is oppression without
a redeeming feature"

The Davenport Republican notes
a curious coincidence of dates in con-
nection with our Spanish war and its
sequel. 1t is noted that.on April IL,
1898, congress received the presidents
message precipitating war withSpain;
that on April IL, 1899, the exchange of
the Publications of the Paris treaty by
Spain and the United States was made
at the White House; and that on April
IL, 1900, the bill imposing the tariff
on Porto Rico, and giving that island
the most humane form of government
conceivable, was passed by the house
and practically became law.

Pueblo, Colo, May %. Calvin Kim

was bitten last Friday in the left
thigh by dog supposed to be mad.
He came to the city Tuesday to have
the mad stone applied. The stone
stuck to the wound for a time, but
the case was not considered serious
as the patient had had another stone
applied to the wound. This is the
fourth case that has called on Mrs.

not be able to induce him to believe
this fall that there is no prosperity
abroad in the land. At the Coleman
sale on February 81, he bought ~
shoats, paying therefor $3.50. May
II he sold the hogs for S132.5O, net

A SCORE KILLED.
Awful Results of a Mine Ex-
plosion in the South.

BY scripps-M cRaa Press Association.
Raleigh, N. O., May 90, Twenty
two men were killed in Cammock
coal mine, As miles from here by an
explosion OF FIRE damp. The known
dead are:
John Connolly, superintendent.
Joe Glass, VIM. Tyson,
Jas. Mccarthy, John Hancker,
Wesley Clegg, John Willett,
Robert Gatewood, White,

Joe Eagan, viii Reeves,
Albert Bynum, Joe Taylor,
Jim Mack, John.Palmer,
Peter Palmer, James Palmer,
John Hubbard, colored; andItwo un-
known.
The explosion occurred on the east
heading, probably due to a broken
gauge in the safety lamp. There
were fifty in the mine at the time but
none out side the east heading were
injured. All bodies have been re-
covered. Forty-two men were killed
in the same mine in December, 1895
by an explosion of dynamite.

tended largely to influence the Judge
In his present action and the formal
announcement of his candidacy.
Without further suggestion from
the Judge himself, than that we are
authorized to say that he will be a
eandidate,i it is only proper we should
join in the universal testimony, not
only as to the merit of his candidacy,
but the admiral fitness and capability
of the man for the position.
Inasmuch as Southeastern Iowa has
not had a representative upon the
supreme bench for almost ten years,
we think it may be conceded the
nomination should this year come to
this section of the state. This is es-
pecially true when it presents can
didate so worthy and well qualified
as Judge Blanchard. The fact that
he was member of the Twenty eighth
Iowa Regiment and a soldier in the
War of the Rebellion, makes him
strong as candidate with worthy
element of the state. He is a gradu-
ate of the Law Department of the
University of Michigan where he laid
a good foundation for his professional
work.
That he served for twelve years
upon the circuit bench, with salts
faction and evidence of judicial abil-
ity, has tended in his experience to
inspire confidence in his worth as
well as to fit him for judicial work.
Upon his retiring from the bench, he
at once engaged in the general
practice, and the large class of cases
and questions with which he has had
since to deal, would bring him fresh
from that field of actual experience
to deal with practical questions in
the courts.
He is the character of lawyer, in
perfect health and the prime of this
life, ripe in both judicial and prac-
tical experience, that the bar of the
state would welcome upon the bench.
In addition to this, he has twice
this senatorial district
in the state senate and is now mem
Der of that body, and has taken an
active part in shaping the legislation |
of the state. 1t is thought few men
can comprise the qualities in exper-
fence and practice as are found in |
Judge Blanchard.
He has further been recognized by |
his profession in the state by the /,
high compliment of making him the |
president of the Bar Association,
which position he now FOLDS.
In addition to this, it may be said
Of Judge Blanchard by those who
know him best, as citizen he enjoys
theconfidence of all who know him,
and his personal and professional
is without blemish or re-
proach.
Possessed of such requisites and
the friends of Judge Blanch-
ard will present him as candidate
for nomination for Supreme Judge
before the-next Republican Conven-
ton of the state, in confidence of the
cause of a worthy citizen and able
lawyer.

DIR. W. g. Sensibaugh, of Port
Byron, has brought suit against the
Fraternal Tribunes,a secret and ben
eficiary order, alleging damages at
$4,000. The plaintiff was initiated
into the order in May 1898. During
the ceremony it is alleged that he
was given shock of electricity that
caused paralysis on one side of his
body. Amy lodge that will resort to
dangerous methods in initiation
should have their charter revoked
and be dealt with summarily by law.
