Which Would You Choose 7

Heaven forbid that many men should
be put to the awful trial to which one
man was subjected this week. The
Chicago Times Herald tells us the
story in vivid form. 1t seems that
Captain Charles A. Larkeson, with his
wife and infant child We're
on his bark at the pier,
when fierce fire spreading from
the dock among the shipping compelled
him to seek refuge in the water. He
took the child in his arms, and he and
his wife jumped overheard after re
ceiving assurances of assistance from
the shore, which gave them confidence.
But, although Mrs. LarkesOn could
swim, she soon became entangled amid
a lot of floating stuff, and it was plain
that she would be doomed unless inn
mediate help was extended to her.
In this emergency the captain de-
cided swiftly and chose the wife before
the child. Throwing the infant from
him toward the pier in the hope that it
might still be rescued. he turned to the
sinking woman and saved her. despite
her determination that he should
abandon her for the little one. AS a re-

suit the child was lost, and its body
was not discovered until the sorrowins
parents had left the scene second
time after having returned from the
hospital to pursue the search.
The painful tragedy suggests the
question, would most men have acted
as Larkeson did under similar circum-
stances, and this brings home at once
the frightful nature of the dilemma

OF infancy, all the time strengthening
its hold upon the parental love. the
conflict might well end in indecision

drowning. And if it were only an in
rant, its pitiful helplessness would
make an appeal upon the affections
which could not be resisted without q
terrible effort. Many men would have
been prompted to risk all to save both
because of the undying sorrow follow
ing the abandonment to death Of
either.
But again assuming that the family
relations were just what they should be

choice would be the common choice

Mr.. Woods Withdrawal.

The withdrawal of Hon. Elliott Wood
of Winthrop, as a candidate for the
nomination for sheriff. will go far to
promote party harmony in the APP
preaching county convention. Mr..
Wood had n strong following among
the Republicans of the county, and his
action in freeing them from their allie
glance to his candidacy will greatly
simplify the situation in the county.
and do much to promote Republican
unity and good feeling. Long a lead
ing and active worker in the party
ranks, Mr.. Wood has made host of
warm friends whose cordial good
wishes will attend him in whatever he
may undertake. His straightforward,
manly course in this matter of his
candidacy for sheriff, relieves the
situation from all elements Of doubt
and will go very far to clear the politi-
cal atmosphere.

pany was Incorporated, September q,
| 1887. and the Maritime Canal Company
| of Nicaragua, by act Of Congress Of the
United States, approved February 20,
1889
This company made a contract with
the construction company for the con-
Struction of the canal and the work
was prosecuted until the panic Of 1893. .
All this work, involving an expendi-
ture Of millions Of dollars. carried for
ward by engineers of the highest skill
might reasonably be held to have
given the American people very fair
idea of the whole question. But inves-
tigati1n did not by any means stop
here A government commission was
appointed. in 1895, composed of gentle
men of the highest qualifications to
go over the ground again. This they
did with great care and thOrOughness,
reporting that the construction of the
proposed Nicaraguan canal was an en-
tirely practicable project.
Still the thirst for information on
the subject was not satiated, and. two
years ago, the President appointed an
other commission to 90 over the
ground afresh. This commission con
sisted of Rear Admiral John G. Walker
of the navy, Col. Peter c. Hams of the
army engineer corps, and Prof. Louis
n. Laupt. n scientist Of distinguished
attachments. Certainly it would have
been difficult to have found anywhere
three men who We're better equipped
for work of this character. This
commission after an exhaustive study
of the whole question, made a very
complete and able report. in which
they agreed that the Nicaragua canal
was not only feasible, but also that
it could be constructed within reason
able limits of cost.
1t is no secret that a large and
active lobby has been at work in
Washington. during the present session
of Congress, to stem the current of
popular feeling in favor of the Mica
raguan route. by presenting what they
assert to be the superior merits of the
Panama route. 1t is evident that its
members made little Roadway in the
House. What they may be able to ac-
complsh in the Senate remains to be
seen.
American expert opinion has been al
most uniformly in favor of the Mica
raguan route for the past half century
and being based upon abundant inves-
tigation is not likely to be easily
changed.
The American people are now pretty
well united in advocacy of this great
maritime highway. They believe that
information touching both the Nicara-
guam and Panama is sufficiently COM
plete and accurate to warrant a deciS-
ion Of the matter, and that it is high
time to begin the actual work of con-
struction.

The Poppinq Of The PopuIists.

All that remains for the Democratic
convention to be held at Kansas Guy
July 4, is to endorse the work OF the
Populists at Sioux City, this week
That eminent Populist, William Jen-
nings Bryan of Nebraska, has been
formally put in nomination for the
presidency and the Democratic tail OF
the fusion aggregation will now pro-
coed to wag. For the running mate OF
Mr.. Bryan the Populists have selected
one Charles T. Towne, free silver
rantar of local fame in Minnesota.
Whether the Democracy will go the
whole hog and nominate him also, re-
mains to be seen.
The Sioux City convention was held
in a circus tent, and judging from the
Geographic reports, it was a perform
ance we'll suited to the sawdust ring.
from start to finish. Jerry Simpson,
Wind Allen of Nebraska, and ex-Gov
Weaver were leading oratorical lights
A Massachusetts, delegate pledged
Bryan the electoral votes of the six
New England states. The 16 to /
plank was re-affirmed with a vigorous
whoop, only equalled when Bryan was
declared nominated by reclamation. 1t
was the sentiment of the convention
;ctc h oh;
ton to an alliance with the Democrats
they propose to do the debating them
selves. 1t was declared in several
speeches that unless the Democrats
accept Towne as their vice-presidential
nominee, the campaign is lost from the
start. Admiral Dewey escaped the
ignominy of having his name men
toned at the convention, and VIII
probably be equally fortunate at Kan
sas City.
But there are other Populists than
the regulars who convened in South
Dakota. On the same days, the radi-
cal middle of -roadsters met in
national convention at Cincinnati and
loaded their pop-gun batteries for the
campaign. 1t was even a wilder and
woolier affair than that at Sioux City,
and to its 16-to-one-ism is added the
usual long -whiskered nightmare. Its
candidates We're named as follows:
for President, Wharton Barker of
Pennsylvania; for vice-president, Ig-
natus Donnelly of Minnesota. The
nomination of Barker was forced by a
minority which threatened to bolt if
anybody else was named. The posi-
tom of the names on the ticket is the
reverse of that decided upon and an
nounced by the party's national COM
'mittee, last year. but it really doesn't
make much difference which way they
go. |

Bryan and Towne. and Barker and
