New Party Talk.

Ex-senator Pettigrew who has lust
returned from a trip to Alaska in an inter
view in Tacoma, Washington, said: If the
democratic party remains true to the
principles OF Bryan in opposition to the
trusts and the excessively rich, it will
have my support at the next presidential
election. But if the party dominates Mr..
Hill, of New York, we will form a new
party. L will not support Mr.. Hill for the
presidency and neither will the mass of
the democrats. Why am L against the
New York man: Because he stands for all
that Mckinley and Hanna stand for. If
he were nominated all the voters would
nave to do would be to tossa coin to see
which candidate they would cast their
ballots for. In the end it would be the
same thing. There is danger that the
republican party, which is the friend of
plutocracy, will capture the democratic
party. When you examine the matter
you will find hat Hill really has no princi,
pies.
II will be in the third party movement
If it is necessary. 1t is hard to tell who
will head 1t. My views on expansion
remain unaltered. AS regards politics in
my state, can't tell you. The vital issue
OF the next campaign will be the question
whether we shall preserve our American
form of government or become European.

Annapolis has been stationed of late at
Iloilo, and on June u last a party was sent
out for rife target practice. Commando
Rhoer, in NINA of Annapolis, states
that permission was given to several of
the men TO go swimming while others were
engaged in fishing. Mckee joined two
and asked if they had been able to touch
bottom. Being answered in the negative
he made a dive and was gone for several
seconds One of the seanlen says he heard
a gurgling sound beneath the water. y
moment later Mckee appeared on the
surface and shouted: shark! Shark"'
The surface of the water was covered
with blood near where he came up. Mckee
started to swim and, although crippled,
reached the boat and was pulled in by his
companions. \ horrible sight met their
eyes, the quartermaster's leg having been
bitten off near the knee. With all dispatch
he was taken aboard Annapolis, where the
surgeon found it necessary to amputate
the limb between the knee and hip, The
surgeon in his report states that while
the accident was not in line of duty it was
incident to the service. Admiral Kempff,
however, i'm indorsing the papers. holds
that as the quartermaster had received
permission frorr the officer in charge to
go in bathing the accident occurred in the
line Of duty. Under these circumstances
Mckee will receive a pension.

Rates Won't do.

Judge John +. Garland, of the United
States court in South Dakota, has decided
the South Dakota maximum rate
case against the railway commissioners.
He holds that the schedule of rates for
freight and passengers, fixed by the com.
mission, is unconstitutional, as il conflicts
with the letter of the constitution in that
1t would operate to take the property of a
railroad without Just compensation or due
process of law, and deprive IL of the pro.
lection of the law.
1t is held that the schedule adopted by
the railroad commission would not afford
railroads reasonable compensation for
service performed and the present railroad
commissioners and their successors
agents. etc, are perpetually enjoined and
restrained from putting into effect OF
attempting or claiming to put into effect
a schedule of freight and passenger rates
adopted by the board.
III is ordered that the railroad company
o of the commissioners it's costs To
be taxed, together with its disbursements
necessarily incurred.
Judge Garland further decides that
when circumstances have changed 50
that rates adopted i'm the schedule shall
yield the railroad company reasonable
compensation for service performed. the
board of railroad commissioners can appIy
to his court by supplemental bill or other
wise for further order i'm that behalf.

Webster has been delayed in get
ting water-works, but the delay was
not due to lack of enterprise and
push on the part of her citizens, but
to technical errors in her elections.
But that the council has untold and
firm founded faith in the voters is
shown by the fact that while wait
ing for the new election to correct
the errors of former ones, the pre-
liminary work of putting down wells
