Some Possibilities.


No longer does it appear that de-
feat for the Democrats is Inevitable
in the next campaign. There is 8
chance for their success, and the pros
poets brighten as the struggle ap-
prosches. With hope of victory has
come search for suitable material for
leadership.
Three names have been suggested,
German, Onley and Parker. The
last name is now being doomed with
a persistency which inspires the sus-
picion that it is systematic. Judge
Alton B. Parker is a very worthy
New York iurist and Democrat. For
several campaigns he might have had
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of New York but declined the
honor, for what reason is not certain:
although it may be surmised that be
was unwilling to be made victim OF
certain defeat. There is not blem-
ish upon the reputation of Judge
Parker, and his ability as judge and
lawyer has ample attestation. In ma
tional politics, however, he is practI-
cslly unknown, and the wisdom OF
nominating a man with local repu-
tation alone to recommend him will
be seriously questioned.
Arthur Pue German will have q
following in the convention unless all
signs fail. He has strong and pow
erful advocates, and, being q past
master in the art of politics, will
nsks the best showing possible with
his support. Gorman is too much OF
manipulation, however, to make an
ideal candidate. and the probabilities
against his selection are very great.
There has been an unmistakable
tide toward Richard Onley in the past
few months, growing in volume as it
progresses. Onley is unquestionably
one of the biggest men in American
He demonstrated his capacity and
backbone while Attorney General
and Secretary OF State respectively
in the Cleveland cabinet. He is an
American to his finger tips. His re-
ply to England on the Venezuelan af-
fair ranks with the greatest State
papers of the nation. It may be
urged against him that he halls from
a Republican State, but Onley is
probably stronger in New York than
any other candids'e would be, and
New York holds the key to the stu
alton.
The Democrats must carry New
York to win. The history of the
party demonstrates that, and the re-
suits of the latest election, when the
West returned to it's Republican love
confirm it.
It was a mixim of the late lament
ed Thomas B. Reed that he who pro.
phesied concerning political events to
happen within one hundred years was
fool with emphasis. The uncer.
tainty of politics adds scme weight
to the maxim, but one is taking little
risk in predicting that Richard Onley
will be potential factor in the next
National Democratic Convention.

since the murder and their apparent
haste to leave the city led the police
to suspect John Anderson, and war
rant was sworn out for his arrest
charging him with murde +.
Mason was 90 years CT age and lived
alone Mt 72l Fisher avenue, except
that for the past few months the
Anderson brothers have been living
at his home, renting, one of the rooms
of the cottage from him. Nassen was
of dissolute character, being addicted
to the liquor habit.
Both Oscar and John Anderson are
we'll known to the police, the former
having a long record of petty oiienses
on the police records. Last week he
forfeited So bail three successive
times. The latter has record of
term at Waupuu for stabbing girl in
one of the resorts on lower Cumming
avenue.
The inquest was held Tuesday. Up.
on the testimony of Officers Hawkins
and Olsen, DR.. O'B?ien, John Andel-
son, brother of the man held for Mas
sens murder, and Judge Danielsons,
the jury found that "said Nasaeu
came to his death Monday forenoon,
May 4, 1903. from the effects of blow
upon the head. probably administered
by one Oscar Anderson
Dr. O'Brien, county physician, testi
fled that upon post mortem eXpmina
ton he found that the murdered man
had fatty growth about the heart
caused evidently, by excessive in
diligence OF liquor and beer The
doctor found that there was no fract-
ure of the skull but reached the con
clusion that the blow, owing to the
weakened condition of the murdered
man, caused his death.
John Anderson was aiterwa'd re-
leased but under the stpulatation
that he report to the police every day
until he il wanted IA a witness against
his brother IN court. The state con-
slider John too valuable a witness to
run the risk of letting him go out of
town before his brothers. case comes

THERE IS NO SUCH CITY
An West superior -Ihe Ctfy Of Des-
tiny Never had II Prefix II Z
II Just superior

Attorney w. NJ. Gill of 296 West Fifth
str eet, one of the prominent men OF
the city and especial Of the East End,
very properly objects to any prefix to
the name of Superior, as is being used
by the Chicago Live Stock World in
the Special Edition which is to be de-
voted to this city and county. Mr..
Gill writes the following letter to the
publishers of that Journal, the tenor
of which is voiced by every loyal
citizen of this city: He says:
"Gentlemen: see from clipping
in your paper in today's News Tribune
of Duluth, such az this: West Supe-
rior, Wisconsin. IL one of the remark

ance of the very name Of our city,

perior. That makes us throw up.

HELD FOR MURDER
Brothers Oscar and John Anderson AccuS-
ed of Numbering an Old Man at
the West End.

Bernhardt Mason, who was bruta,-
~ assaulted in his shack at 72l Fisher
avenue Saturday night or Sunday
| morning, died at Leslie hospital at 3
o'clock Monday morning, and Oscar
and John Anderson, brothers, were
arrested charged with his murder.
Mason was discovered Sunday after
noon lying on his cot at 72l Fisher
avenue, with a badly bruised forehead
aud a severe bruise at the base of the
brain, i'll Il dying condition. Neigh
bors notified the police and when OH
Ger Hawkins arrived on the scene the
victim of the brutal assault was still
conscious He was hurried to Leslie
hospital and DR.. O'Brien was called to
attend him. He soon sank into un-
conciousness and about O'Clock ex
pired.
Officer Hawkins improved the few
moments of consciousness and drew
from the dying man probably all that
will ever be known of the fight that
evidently occurred AT 72l Fisher, and
which resulted in the death of the
murdered man,
"According to the story told by
Nason," 1.-The quarrel arose over a
demand made upon the Anderson
boys for the payment of their room
rent. Hot words ensued and the
blows followed. which resulted in the
death of Nasen."
Immediately upon the death of Ma
sen warrant for the arrest of Oscar
Anderson was sworn out, charging
him with the murder. A careful
search revealed that the accused had
lett the city.
The acpu3ad man was found on
Michigan street Ddiuth, in company
with his brother. John Anderson,
both of whom were preparing to leave
the Head of the Lakes Both had
upon their person tickets, emitting
them to jo bs in minnesota, from the
Duluth free employment bureau.
Oscar Anderson was arranged in
municipal court VIII ere he pleaded not
guilty. The case was set for May II,
at2 2p m.

Against Proposed Change
OF Law Regarding Taxation OF Vessels
In this State.

method of taxation.
At Superior the feet that has been
accustomed to winter here, requ res
only to move short distance, across
the channel, in order to come under

of thousands of dollars every year,

state may not overlook in the interest
of it's northernmost city, and one
whose loss to this town would, in the
estimation of its citizens, be we'll nigh
irreparable.
1t was resolved, therefore, that the
Chamber send to the Legislature its
most earnest remonstrance against
the proposed change of the pres
ant law regarding the taxation
of vessels in this state, and that the
secretary transmit a copy Of this re
solution to the several representa-
tives from this senatorial, and the as
