STATEHOOD BILL PASSES THE HOUSE.

The Republican opposition to
the Statehood bill broke down last
Friday, and the omnibus measure
was passed without division.
Speakerson Henderson and his
chief lieutenants did not even de-
mand vote, knowing that they
would be more overwhelmingly
beaten than even they were on
the Cuban reciprocity measure
when the Democrats and band of
Republican insurgents stood to-
getber.
Immediately after the debate
closed, Delegate Smith, Of Arizona,
was stricken on the floor of the
House. He was Immediately re-
moved to the cloak room and three
doctors summoned to attend him
Smith delivered brilliant
speech Thursday evening, in re-
ply to Grosvenor, and electrified
the House by his eloquence. He
worked all night with wavering
Republicans, and today resumed
the debate, making perhaps the
most vehement speech of his life,
and reused the house to great en-.
thusiasm. He was stricken i'm
mcdiately after concluding his
speech, falling against the desk be-
hind him. Friends rushed to his
assistance, and to show sympathy
for him the House passed the bill
by viva voce vote.
At2 o'clock Mr.. Smith was par
tally unconscious, and reclined on
a lounge in the Democratic cloak
room.
The doctors in attendance unit

termine how serious the attack is.

, At 3 O'Clock Mr.. Smith was re-

physicians summoned. He was
esting easy but his condition is
r regarded as critical.

Irst, last a. d all the time.

Tawney reported that there we're
enough Republicans in favor of the
bill TO make its passage certain
with the united Democratic vote
in its favor. The Republican
leaders then decided to have the
bill divided, that is to report single
measures for the admission of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari.
zona. 1t was given out that the
Speaker would contenance the ad.
mission of Oklahoma if the other
two could be kept out, or even
that he would compromise on let
ting Oklahoma and New Mexico
in if Arizona would be excluded.
This was the policy agreed up.
On by the Republican leaders when
Chairman Knox of the committee
on Territories called up the bill.
The personal popularity OF
Mark Smith prevented the Repub-
licans from being stampeded by
the Speaker and his immediate
staff. Smith worked like beaver
and his influence on the floor
prevented the omnibus bill from
being abandoned. 1t is but just
too, to say that the Delegates from
Oklahoma and New Mexico werc
entirely loyal, and refused to
abandon Arizona to the tender
mercies of the hostile majority,
even to insure the promotion of
their own Territories.
The sudden and rather bitter
activity of the Republican House
leaders was occasioned by report
from the Senate. A canvass Of
that body has been made, and il is
known that the omnibus bill can
control a majority in the upper
chamber The western Republi-
!. can Senators, especially those from
the arid land States, will join with
the Democrats to pass the bill.
y
So long as the Republican House
leaders supposed that the measure
would be put to sleep in the Sen.
ate, their opposition was only
negative.
a The tendency of the Senate is to
pass the bill. 1t is said that those
Republican Senators who are in.
y terested in legislation for the Phil
4 ippines, Porto Rico and outlying
i, possessions are anxious to have a
n freer hand by making all the
mainland Territories into States.
= This would tend to relieve them
of EN- barrassment in the enactment
q Of general Territorial legislation
that would not be applicable to
i American people living at home.

BY A NEGRO
A Waxahachie LaWer Is Caught
By Clever Scheme

Not a great many days ago a
negro called at a well known law
firm and inquired If there was a
railroad lawyer in. The clerk, to
whom the question was addressed,
replied that there were two in the
office at that time. The clerk con-
tinued however, that possibly it
was not railroad attorney that
he wanted. The negro replied in
the negative and Immediately took
his departure. A few minutes later
he called on another attorney and
explained that his son. who was
train porter, had been killed while
on duty, He substantiated his
statement by producing a letter pur-
porting to be from the president of
the road, who after expressing sym
pathy for the bereft parent, announ-
ced the company's willingness to
compromise the matter by paying
him $500 as damages and solace for
his grief. The negro said he thought
this sum was inadequate and that
he proposed to bring suit against
the company Ii he could engage an
attorney. The proposition looked
take the case on a contingent fee
basis. Before a contract to that
effect was drawn up the negro ex-
planned that he was working mt the
Planters OH Mill and that being
short of funds he was compelled TO
borrow enough money from a lodge
10 defray the burial expenses Of his
son. He said it would be a great
accommodation To him if the LAWYER
would let him have So with which
10 reimburse the lodge. The lawyer
declined tn advance the money and
the negro left, saying he would re-
turn again after seeing bis wife
But he never returned. Instead he
visited another lawyer To whom lie
submitted his case This lawyer
being of "a shrewd turn OF mind ad-
visei the would he client that he
had better accept the terms Of com
promise offered by the company.
Not To be discouraged the negro
called at the office Of well known
young attorney To whom he made
another statement of his case. The
letter from the railroad superimten-
dent WAS again exhibited and the
young man readily agreed to take
the case. 4 contract was prepared
and associate counsel engaged by
thv young attorney. The associate
counsel, after hearing the facts In
the case, was Of the opinion that
the negro was entitld to more than
$500 and that it would be grievous
misfortune to compromise the
matter The negro then explained
that he needed $40 to reimburse the
lodge for money borrowed To bury
his son and the associate counsel
was willing to obiige him and let
him have the amount asked for.
1t now develops that the aforesaid
lawyer was fieeeed and that the
negro had been working hts scheme
on other attorneys in the state His
latest victim was at Weatherford
where he borrowed $3.50 on his let
ter from the superintendent.

That County GIyss Him Practically .
Solid Delegation.

s :.
The district convention held
throughout Wetlel county Saturday
for the purpose Of selecting delegates
to the congressional and senatorial
conventions, resulted in the county
going practically solid for Congress
man Doyener's denomination. The
Dovener men claim nineteen Of the
twenty-one delegates to which Wetzel
county is entitled, and say these two
may be for their candidate, thus maxi
Ing the county solid.
At the New Martinsville district
meeting there were 1877 votes for
Dovener, fifty for CAMPBELL and several
for Showalter. In the Greene district
meeting at Porter Falls, there were 81
persons in attendance, and but ten
votes against Doyener. At Burton
the Doyener men we're in a large ma
jority in the Church district meeting.
At the Grant district meeting IN
Smithfield, $50 were present and but a
handful were not favorable to the re-
nomination of Doyener. The Little
ton meeting is said to have elected
two anti-Dovener delegates, but
whether they are for Showalter or
Campbell is not known.
For the state senate, it is said Hon.
BE-. Meighen has captured most Of
the Wetzel county vote. Resolutions
endorsing the candidacy of Senator

Political Decency
Demands Action
Against the will Methods and
Democratic Venom heaped
uponsMr. Highland by
his enemies.

Editor Telegram THE republican
electors of Harrison county will be
called upon on May 18th to select their
candidate for one of the most import
ant Offices lnthe county, that of clerk
OF the county court. We say one of
the most important offices, because
upon the faithful, intelligent and
business-like discharge Of the duties of
the Office, depend in a large degree
the safety and accuracy Of the vast
J amount of coal, oil and realty activity
which is transforming the erstwhile
, Quiet county Of Harrison into busy
area of commerce aad pouring out her
mineral wealth at rate not dreamed
of generation ago.
In very large degree indeed does
the safety Of every dollar invested in
Harrison county depend upon the ef-
ficiency and perfection Of the manage
ment OF the Office of county clerk.
Then, the first and primary consid-
alton involved in the selection to be
made at the approaching primary is
to secure the most efficient, experienc.
ed and salesman for the place, and in
view Of the capabilities Of the two
gentlemen who are seeking this nomt-
nation. thatman is Virgil L. High
Z land. the present efficient and satisfac-
tory clerk. During the term which
Mr.. Highland will complete on Dec.
esist the affairs of his Office are conced-
Ell on all sides to have been Conducted
\ with the most efficient and modern
methods in use in the fiscal affairs OF
the state. He has the confidence and
esteem of the most progressive and
able financiers Of the state and outside
capitalists have no fear Of Investing
their money in a county where records
are kept by such man.
Mr.. 'Iighland'sca notonly has
great advantage because Of the ex-
cellent record he has made as clerk but
from the standpoint of political ex-
pediency his nomina tion is demanded

for mother reason than to crafty the
inordinate hatred of PETTY crowd Of
repudiated leaders who threaten an
attempt to disrupt the party If their
unreasonable requests are not compli-
ed with.
Political decency demands that the
methods resorted to by the enemies OF
Mr. Highland and the democratic
venom heaped upon every regular re-
publican in the county, by SO called
republican paper, shall be repudiated
in no uncertain terms. Unscrupuious
and brainless demagogues must be
taught that the republican manhood
Of the county cannot with impunity
be insulted forno other reason than
that they have always been loyal In
their support Of the regular nominees
Of the party.
