OUR DEBT 10 VERGENNEs.
And Yet We Apparently Have For.
gotten All About Him.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
1t is more than possible that with
out the assistance and announcement
of the Count de Vergennes our Revo-
lutionary War would have been a fall
ure. The opposition of Louis XVI
did not deter that great minister of
France from giving the colonists such
aid as enabled them to maintain sue
cessfully the conflict against George
Ill. No matter with what motives he
began (hatred of England the chief,
he soon became heartbound to Amer
lea in her furious and unequal COM
bat. But for him the Count de Roch-
ambeau never would have been sent to
help us with $4,000 troops and a fleet
under Admiral de Ternay, nor would
Lafayette himself have been able to
accomplish his missino. We had no
friend on earth like Charles Gravier.
Count de Vergennes. boon companion
of Franklin. Yet we always seem to
forget him.
Rochambeau came here as a soldier
of fortune just as Lafayette did, with
the difference that while the Marquis
was volunteer, the Count acted I'M
der orders. Any other French soldier
might have been chosen to lead the
expedition to America. Vergennes
sent Rochambeau. We voted thanks
to the latter and gave him cannon of
Yorktown. What did we do for Yer
gennes. who held England back with
one hand while with the other he
pushed ships food and ammunition
across the Atlantic for our forces
The Senate joint resolution appropriate
ing $4,000 for the dedication of a mon
ument to Rochambeau in Washington
on May "a next invites the families of
Rochambeau and Lafayette to be pres
ent, but no mention is made OF the
family of Vergennes.
This neglect of Vergennes is enough
to cause Franklin to sigh in his grave
for the ingratitude of republics. With
all Europe against him and forbidden
as culprit to enter Paris, Franklin
found that Vergennes had seen to it
that the restraining order arrived too
late. Ships for eur help were forbid
den to leave France. yet Vergennes
saw that the orders did not arrive
until the vessels had sailed. This
Joint resolution did not mention the
family of Lafayette until Senator
Hoar offered an amendment that they
be included. Is there not sonic Sena-
tor who will offer an amendment to
the amendment including the family
OF Ver9enneS?

BEGUN CLOSING AT MIDNIGHT.

New York Police Are Enforcing Sum
day LAW. But TOpers VIII Find
Raines' Law Hotels Convenient.
New York, April 13.-Indica tons dur
ing the first hour after midnight this
Sunday morning were that there
would be a general tight closing of
saloons throughout the city again to-
day, though, in all probability, the
thirsty could get all the drink they
wanted at the Raines law hotels.
In the upper east side precincts the
law was strictly observed, the "early
tour" patrolmen before leaving duty
at L o'clock making it a point to warn
saloonkeepers that the law must be
obeyed. The late tour" men as soon
as they reached their posts gave par
ticular attention to seeing that the
bars were exposed, patrons sent home
and front doors locked in all saloons
on their beats.
The big saloons at concert halls on
the Bowery all closed their doors at
midnight.

James Garretson, one of the supers
employed at the Park Theater, Brook
lyn, had an experience last night. The
Spooner Stock Company were produc-
ing THE Man From Mexico" and in
the second act a prison interior is de-
picted, with keepers. prisoners and 9TH
ers in the scene. Garretson was attired
as one of the convicts and had to cross
the stage in company with the other
stage hands in lockstep.
Just after he had donned his pris IN
garb, he weakly yielded TO a desire for
book beer. He thought he had time to
procure drink. and leaving the stage
door, he hurried across Adams street
to a saloon and had just one. 1t took
a little longer than he thought, and
when he got through. he was compelled
to run for it. But an alert policeman
was on the beat, and when he saw
a man in the full uniform of a convict
running through the street, he plunged
after him. He caught him and took
him to the Adams street police station.
There. after explanations were made.
Garretson was let go, but he was too
late to join in the lockstep.

Syndicate Proposes to Build an EIec-

BEATRICE, Neb., Nov. 1e.-(Special.)-
z. G Hurd OF Akron, o., and II. Wilson OF
Lincoln met with the directors Of the
Commercial club here last night to con-
slider the building of an electric line from
Lincoln to Beatrice.
The two gentlemen made a statement
that they we're not ready at this time 20
make any proposition but simply desired
to state the intentions of the syndicate
they represented in case the field for their
operations proved satisfactory and the cit
liens gave the project the proper encour-
agement. No bonus or assistance OF any
kind was wanted. but the promoters Of the
enterprise did want the good will and
hearty cooperation Of Beatrice citizens
in case 81. 900, 600 is spent in building the
line to this city.
The line is to run on the company's own
right of way and Is to be constructed in
the best manner possible with a view TO
speed. The cars are to be OF the largo,
heavy pattern similar to railway coaches.
The directors present gave expression
to their opinions as to the value of the
road to Beatrice, and agreed to lend all
the assistance possible in order to push
the new enterprise to the front.

representative commission, composed OF
three leading members Of the California
bar and some Of the foremost economists

lines which Mr.. Maxwell condemns.
There are now indications that a cam
paign has been inaugurated which will cen

which have not as yet reached Arm ground
in respect to irrigation legislation. This
campaign will be one OF agitation and mis-
representation, having its origin in private
selhshness and personal spite, and will be
directed to the end OF preventing that dis
passionate and unprejudiced study OF what
has been accomplished and the lessons
which have been learned in other states and
other countries, and which should precede

FATHER SHOOTS At HIS son
Trouble in the Dorsey Family at Kearney
Almost Leads to a Tragedy.
TWO OUT OF THREE SHOTS ARE EFFECTIVE
Fortunately wounds Are Not Serious
and Infatuated Man Is Disarmed
while Following Up
His Victim.

KEARNEY, Neb., Nov. 1~9.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Kearney was enlivenen with a
shooting affair about 8 o'clock this after
noon that came near being serious. At the
hour named Captain D.. A. Dorsey met
his son, Edward s. Dorsey, one Of the city
mail carriers, on the street and began
talking to him about matters concerning
the family. The son tried to evade the
conversation. saying that there was no
use Of talking about their private matters
on the street. At this point Captain Dor
sey drew a revolver and began shooting,
firing three shots, one Of which passed
through Edwards hat another through the
leshy part OF the arm above the elbow
and another one going wide.
Edward got out of the way as fast as he
could and lodged into Blakely's store be-
tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth
streets. The father followed. but before
the shooting could be resumed Constable
Nichols and George Ray took the infuriated
man in tow and he was placed in custody.
AS is known to many, there has been an
-estrangement between Captain Dorsey and
his wife and children for several years.
This trouble, preying on the fathers mind,
led to the assault, no doubt, during a
period Of mental arrangement.
