WEARIED OF WANDERING.
James Hutchinson Surrendered Him. self For Trial to the Sheriff \ @ Et71-I, ,----....,.
 of Clay County.

Plggott, Ark, October 31.-Tuesday evening young man, James Hutch- inson, walked into Sheriff Turner's office and said he had been incarcer- ated in the Jackson county iail at Newport for larceny, and that he picked hole through the wall of the jail about month ago and had been wandering over southeast Missouri ever since; that he was sick and tired of being among strangers, and was anxious to be carried back to Jackson county to stand trial He said he was sure that he would be sent to the penitentiary and would probably die while wearing the stripes, but he wanted to go.
 The young man was placed in iail. Sheriff w. R. Randy, of Newport, was appraised of his detention and wired Sheriff Turner to hold Hutchin- son and he would be here on the first train to take charge of him. The young man said he and two other young men were pearling in Black river, and while under the influence of whiskey he relieved them of SIP of S15. He is in very feeble health.
 Sheriff Randy is now here, and says the young man comes of good fam fly and that this is the only offense ever lodged against any of the entire family.

Openings for Fraud.
From the Baltimore News.

FROM tue bdltimOre NeWb
AS was stated yesterday. the election bill
presented at Annapolis has not gone SO
far as to disturb the method of constituting
the various bodies which have charge of
the elections. But number of the regula-
lions which are contained in 1t are evident
ly designed for the purpose Of making
openings for official fraud and trickery
and for the connivance of officials with
fraud perpetrated by others. The abolition
of the requirement that the name of the
voter be written by himself in the regi5tra-
ton book is the clearest case Of this kind
absolutely no reason can be assigned for
this except the desire to remove one Of the
best means of preventing fraudulent per.
sonation of voters. The leaving of the al :
rangement of the ballot to the discretion CT
the supervisors is as we pointed out Yes
terday, trick evidently intended for party
advantage. The majority Of the board will
be able to agree privately upon the form to
be adopted, and pass the word to their own
party managers, while the minority party
will have to wait until the ballot is official
ly determined, too short time before cleo
ton for effective use among the iIliterate
voters of that party. The change In the
method of distributing the ballots Is an
other instance which has been pointed out
ceiyable purpose than that OF promoting
possibilities of official trfckery. Other SIN
ister-lOoking features have been noted, and
more will be discovered, doubtless, when
the 7,000-word bill has been subjected to
longer examination. The managers have
tried to hide the ugly fact of disfranchfse-
ment under the cloak OF a pretended desire
would have had better chance of decciv-
ing at least some fraction of the people II
they had not shown the cloven foot in their
manipulation of the election arrangements.

An attempt to reason with the boodler is

The Democracy and silver.

Mr.. Teller, it is announced, gives up his
seat on the republican side of the Senate
chamber and moves across the aisle. He is
now affiliating with the democrats, and &C
Corfingly takes place among them. He
will look a little out of place there for
a while. He has been a member of the
Senate continuously for sixteen years, and
until four years ago was one of the repub-
lican leaders In the debates. From his old
seat he has delivered many scathing ar
raignment of The democratic party and
within the hearing of some of the men
with whom he is now to touch partisan ell
bows. So when from his new seat he fires
back on his old friends the spectacle will
be interesting.
But Mr.. Teller will not be lonesome. Mr..
Dubois, another former republican, is there
to keep him company. They have gone
over to the democracy on the same issue
the money issue. They are uncompromis-
ingly for free silver, and for the party
which stands for silver. Had there been
no gold declaration by the republicans at
ST. Louis in 1896 neither Mr. Teller nor
Mr.. Dubois would have left that party.
They had no other quarrel with it. They
have no other now. Both are protection
lists. and on general lines of thought are
Clared for gold and the democratic party
for silver they crossed over and took their
stand with the democrats. AS silver there
fore explains their change of aff1Iiation and
their present attitude, isn't 1t reasonable
to suppose that their faith is strong in
the constanCy Of the democratic party to
the silver issue2
And yet Mr.. Hill of New York thinks
that silver is dead On the basis of that
belief he Is beginning on the democratic
nomination for President in 1904. Mr..
Cleveland is sure that silver is dead, and
in words of six or more syIlahles, is advis-
Ing the party to bury the corpse. Mr.. Wat
terson in his picturesque way says silver is
as dead as African slavery; and he is beat
ing the bushes both for candidate and an
issue for 1904 Mr.. German hopes that
silver is dead, but if it should prove not
TO be, he can of course be dragooned into
supporting it again His hopes, however,
are strong.
And so II goes. On the one hand are
men who are moving into the democratic
camp bag and baggage on the belief that
silver is still a very live issue and that it
is only through an active utilization with
that party that the friends of silver may
hope to serve the cause. On the other
hand are men who as sincerely believe that
silver is a very dead issue, and who are
preparing, after some years either of Oppo-
sluon or indifference, to go to work again
for democratic success Somebody is I'M
doubleday mistaken. And there are shrewd
and experienced politicians on each side of
the question

A Filibuster Fooled.

1here were many stirring episodes during
the closing days Of Congress, but maybe
none was more stirring than the telegraphic
correspondence which is said to have taken
place between Mr.. Bryan and Senator Allen
or Nebraska on the subject of Cuba and
the Philippines
Inc two men are warm friends. One is
a democrat and the other is a populist but
they think alike politically, and only a
meaningless party tag divides them Mr..
Allen thinks Mr.. Bryan is the greatest man
living and greater than many great men
who are dead. He rates his eloauence
higher than he does that of Webster. his
personal magnetism higher than that CT
Clay or Blaine, and his patriotism at the
top notch. He Is unable to understand the
preparedness of the country in refusing
to elect Mr.. Bryan President. What Mr..
Bryan thinks of Mr.. Allen has not been so
publicly confessed. but it must be a good
deal, or else Mr.. Bryan is very ungratefuI
A fair exchange Of compliments is regarded
in some circles as the eleventh command
ment.
As the story goes, the plot about Cuba
and the Philippines was thickening. The
effort to avoid an extra session stood plainly
disclosed. The republicans were threaten
ing. They must have the Platt resolution
about the one and the Spooner resolution
about the other, or an extra session must
be called. The democrats began to weaken.
Mr.. Allen began to stiffen. An extra ses-
sion had no terrors for him. Let one come,
let anything come, rather than yield the
point to the imperialists and still more
firmly fasten American oppression on the
strangers.
So Mr.. Allen squared himself for a fill
buster. He is not a poor hand at that game,
He holds the long distance record as a
talker against time achieved in the fall OF
1898, when he poured out his soul on the
silver question for fourteen hours. But OF
course he must have help, and it occurred to
him to have Mr.. Bryan instruct the demo-
Gratis of the Senate to stand by. Mr.. Bryan
was struck with the suggestion. He, too,
thought an extra session preferable to sur
render, and he urged his party friends in
| the Senate to fight. And thinking, of
course, that that would be sufficient, he
then wired Mr.. Allen TO Join the opposi-
| ton But it did not prove sufficient, and
when Mr.. Allen looked into the matter he
found there was but one reply that would
fit the case And SO he wired back to Mr..
Bryan, There is no opposition to join
The story is having a great run, but It Is
clearly incomplete. For nothing follows as
to what Mr.. Bryan said when he received
Mr.. Aliens second dispatch, or what Mr..
Allen said to himself when he sent it. And
such things are too important to be left to
the imagination.

All reliable reports from South Africa in
dictate an early surrender by Gen. Botha
and the Boer leaders and forces under his
command. This does not include De Wet,
who is reported rejecting all suggestions
from Botha to yield. The accounts of the
conference held February 81 between Kitch-
ener and Botha indicate that the former re-
fused to promise amnesty to De Wet and
Steyn. presumably on account of the ir-
regular guerilla warfare which they have
conducted. Botha's surrender, with the
British government undertaking to aid in
the restoration of farms and the re-estab-
iishment of the Boer country on a self-sup-
porting basis, will unquestionably have a
marked influence toward driving even the
present irreconcilables from the field. Botha

Adjoining Warrington.
From the Chicago Record.

The task of dressing Washington in festi-
val attire for the Inauguration has given
occasion this year for the suggestion of a
number of plans for the permanent Deauti-
flying of the city. Some Of these are very
ambitious and look not only to the recon-
struction Of the White House, but to the
remodeiing of several other public build
ings and the erection of new structures.
The various projects, if happily executed,
would constitute Washington the most
beautiful capital city Of the world.
While the fulfillment of any plans so
comprehensive seems to lie in the remote
future, the American people, who have a
just pride in their capital city, will be glad
to learn of any systematic efforts toward
giving symmetry and harmony to the vista
of all the important public works of Wash
ington. One important lesson taught by the
worlds fair-particularly in the case OF
the court of honor-was that it is possible
to secure sufficient variety of effect I'M
der a general design harmonious and uni
form in it's entirety. 1t should be possible,
when new buildings have to be erected in
Washington, to build them upon such de-
signs as will secure this harmony. There
should be something in them suggestive of
dignity and of their official character, with
out any of the stilted pomp or affectation
to which government architects are prone.
With this rule with the adoption of SINH
lar regulations regarding the monuments,
arches, rostral columns or pylons and other
adornments. and with municipal regula-
ton respecting private buildings, Washing
ton has the other requirements needed to
make it city of unsurpassed attractions.
1t has practically no other life and no
other reason for being than Is to be found
in its function as the nations seat Of gov
eminent 1t has to consider none Of the
diversified interests which must be cared
for in London, Paris. Berlin. Vienna or
st. Petersburg. which are important mu-
inequalities and centers Of trade as well as
capitals. There is no reason why Wash
ington should not bear Its character as a
capital city distinctively marked in its
outer aspects.
