MR.. BRENT ON THE SITUATION.

The Washington Correspondent OF the
Richmond News-Leader says:
Samuel G. Brent, leading lawyer Of
Alexandra, who trained with Cleveland
in 1896, does not believe that the New
Yorker is in any sense a candidate for a
denomination at the hands of the demo-
cratic party. Nor does he believe that
it would be expedient to nominate him.
1t would insure defeat in 1904 to do so,
he says.
Talking to party of friends on the
question of Growers candidacy, Mr..
Brent discussed the question in about
the following language:
II do not believe that Grover Cleve-
land is any more candidate for an
other nomination than you or | are can
didates. He is politician and a SER
sible man, and he knows that the
sentiment in this country is so thorough
ly against a third term that there is
absolutely no show for any man to get
third term. 1t seems to be an un'
written law, written upon the hearts of
the people since the days of Washington
and Jefferson. And it is law that |
do not believe will be broken. Cleve-
land is too wise man not to see this,
and to aspire to the nomination despite
it."
1t was suggested to Mr.. Brent that the
actions of the ex-president during the
last six weeks were evidently those of a
candidate in a receptive mood-as recep-
tive as the old maid who is bound to be
married at whatevre cost-and that his
actions surely led to the belief that he is
willing.
"No, do not think that they dc" re-
piled Mr.. Brent. "Mr. Cleyelands sud
den interest in politics is not to be attrib-
uted to such a motive. He has seen
the reversion of sentiment against the
BRYAN ideas of democracy, and he sees
the opportunity to get the party back to
the policies he has advocated. He natu-
rally wants to see his ideas on the great
national questions prevail. since it would
be vindication of those ideas, and he
wants to see a man nominated who will
subscribe to those ideas. think that Is
what he wants at this time"
"Then you think that he wants to set
himself up as a sort of dictator to de-
mocracy. Is that it?" he was asked.
mo, rot that at all, " he replied che
simply wants to see his party return to
the principles he advocated, and which
he believes are right"
Mr.. Brent believes that the only hope
of victory lies in a good compromise can
didate.

DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING.

During a short thunderstorm and
while the sun was shining in New York
yesterday afternoon lightning wrecked a
large plate-glass window at Houston
and Mulberry streets, throwing 80 girls
into a panic. The girls are employed
in the straw hat factory of John Marty,
who occupies the third floor of the
Borkel Building, and when the flash of
lightning lit up the room and the crash
of glass followed the girls ran, scream
ing, for the stairs and elevator. The
elevator was at the bottom at the time,
and the girls ran, pellmell, down the
stairs, knocking each other over and
tramping on those fallen in their
anxiety to get to the street. 1t was
pouring rain when they reached the
street, and some were bruised about the
hands and face.
Lightning last night started two fires
in Philadelphia, causing total loss of
$75, 900. One bolt of lightning struck
one of the group of buildings Of the
George W. Blabon Company, manufac-
turers of oil cloths, in the southern
section of the city. The loss on build
ing and contents is estimated at $50, 900.
The residence of Norman Ellison, at
Merton, suburb of Philadelphia, was
struck by lightning during the same
storm. The structure, which was a
handsome one, was entirely destroyed.
The Ellison family was at dinner when
the house was struck, but no one was
injured.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 81, 1908

In HIS speech at the Confederate re-
union in New Orleans on Tuesday Judge
John H. Rogers, of Fort Smith, Ark,
the orator of the day, made several his
torical statements which cannot be sue
cessfully controverted and the truth Of
which should be taught every child in
the South. He said:
'The South is reprOached for dis
union-secession. 1t is the basis Tor
the charge of treason, of disrupting the
Union. Of violating the Constitution, OF
rebellion. of making war on the United
States. 1t must not be forgotten that
there is a wide difference between seces-
sion and rebellion. The South made no
war on the States remaining in the
Union. Secession meant disunion so
far as the seeding States were concern
ed. but it neither meant war nor re-
bellion. 1t meant a Union intact so far
as all the States were concerned which
did not secede, and a union, too, under
the Constitution. As the States entered
the Union. each under acts of ratification
of its own, so secession meant the re-
SUMPTION by each State of its delegated
powers by repeating the acts under
which each seeding State entered the
compact; but the repeal of such acts
did not and could not affect the
acts by which the remaining States en-
tered into the Confederacy. l affirm
if odium is to attach to the South for
the act of secession, it must attach
also to the great North and East where
it was for political, economical and In
dustrial reasons, sedulously agitated and
inculcated up to the Mexican war, and
the rights distinctly recognized by its
leading statesmen up to 1860. History
ought not to allow them to slip this
odium, if odium it be, from their
shoulders to the shoulders of the South.
Our children should know that the Con-
federate States, by the act of secession,
made no war on the United States; that
the war between the states was not re-
DelllOD. IL Was IuO lCSult VI an ShOi
by the United States to coerce States
against their will foreman in the Union;
a power not to be found in the Con-
stitution, a power which all the earlier
fathers believed did not exist; power
utterly inconsistent with the right of
secession, which, it is believed, all parts
of the country recognized when the Con-
stitution was framed and for many years
thereafter. 1t was not a question
of the control of the government or an
economical or industrial question; it was
not question of preserving the balance
of power or the equilibrium ofthe sections
such as was felt in New England when
the Louisiana and Florida purchases
were made, and Texas acquired Itwas
aquestion of civilization, of constitutional
liberty, of the presentations of the
principles of the Constitution; and the
South when the alternative was present
ing of abandoning the principles of the
Constitution or giving up the Union,
with alacrity, but with deepest reluct-
ance that the necessity existed, chose
the latter. She was overcome; she has
suffered, but she ought not to be
maligned or misrepresented."

STRIKING MAcHINIsTs. -MOre than
1000 machinists and members ofkindred
unions, including metal polishers, brass
workers and laborers, employed in about
l75 shops in st. Louis, all members of
the st. Louis Metal Trades Association,
which is allied to the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists, went on strike
yesterday. The machinists demand an
increase Of 10 per cent. in wages, while
the brassworkers ask for 10 2-3 per cent.
increase. Negotiations have been in
progress for six weeks between the en-
ployers and the unions. A six per
cent. increase was offered to the unions,
but this was refused, and the demand
for 10 per cent. was maintained. Eff
forts to arbitrate the disagreement failed
and the strike resulted. Should the
strike prove as far-reaching and effective
as union officials assert it will, and lift
shall continue for any considerable
length of time, every mechanical trade
In st. Louis may become involved.
Conferences will be held and every eff
fort made to reach an amicable settle
ment of the difficulty, and to avert a
serious strike situation.

INSANE THROUGH GRIEF.-Rendere,

INSANE THROUGH GRIEF. Rendered
violently insane through grief over the
sudden death of her husband, Mary
Brown Cumberland created scene in
Winchester late yesterday afternoon just
before the funeral. Dr. 2. W. Boyd
was summoned, and said that the woman
was suffering from acute mania. The
funeral of the dead man, Marshall Cum
berland, who was found dead sitting in a
chair Tuesday afternoon, was set for 4
O. clock yesterday afternoon. About an
hour prior to this time the poor woman
began to exhibit signs of insanity, and
all efforts to quiet her were unavailing.
Standing over the body of her husband,
she pounded on the coffin lid, shrieking
hysterically.and yainly calling him back
to life. During one of her paroxysms
she gathered the flowers from the casket,
and rushing to the door, threw them
into the back yard, declaring that her
husband was not dead, but had been
talking to her. The crowd of mourners
which gathered was scattered by the
woman. Finally, it was decided not to
attempt to hold any funeral services.
The body was therefore taken to the
cemetery and buried witho ut final rites.

WHITE MAN LYNCHED. Amos Ran

Mulberry, Polk county, Fla, early yes

nent advocate of prohibition in the cam
paign which ended Tuesday. Monday
night, while Brown was en- route home, he
was shot from ambush and his throat cut.
The people of Mulberry became enraged,
and Tuesday secured evidence which led
them to believe that Randall had employ
ed negroes to kill Brown. The three
men we're taken into custody and one of

from the cities on Thursday evening.
DR.. E. A. Lyman returned from

Mr.. Tompkins went to Princeton

Mr.. Tompkins and Sheriff Claggett
hesitated entering them, and they
finally decided to 60 north into St.
Louis county.
One of DR.. Lyman's accessor es
in the deer-killing act enjoys telling
little story about the doctors first
encounter with big game. In COM
pany with Geo. French and his faith
err the doctor came to what seemed
promising runway for deer. Geo.
French stationed the doctor at ore
point and his father at another, and
then started off to steer the game
their way. In due season George
routed out fine specimen of the
moose tribe, and trotted him within
about twenty yards of the doctor.
With great presence of mind our
popular tooth-artist waved his arms
in air and shouted, "There he goes!
Shoot him, 'Ras Shoot him !" The
doctor and the moose both escaped
unframed.
About the biggest piece of "hog
work ever attempted-who by, THE

tempt is the running of the rural
free delivery line out from Spring
field, north to Clements, the promot-
ers claiming that this will take in |
all patrons OF the Shutdown postof-
fee. The assertion is false. It is
an attempt to injnre certain points
in Redwood county and benefit a |
point in Brown county, and strong
