IT is queer how many things enter into
Presidential boom nowadays. The Della
ware Democrats are nursing tenderly a
little boom for Judge Geo. Gray, and
which they hope will also be instrumental
in bringing about reorganization Of the
ascendency. The points in favor of Judge
Gray are that he took determined stand
against Free Silver, that he has done some
very good and acceptable work as mem
Der OF the Anthracite Strike Commission,
and that his attitude on the recent lynch
ing of the negro White is sue, as to
strongly commend him.

what is still worse. it does not seem to

Chicago there is continual striving for bet

signs Of a vigorous desire for better things,

TILLMAN's SPEECH.
He Blamed the Attorney General for
His lnaction,

Washington, Jan. 15.-In his speech
in the senate yesterday Tillman said
the energy of the venerable senator
from Missouri had put spur to the
tagging horse in the house, and those
in the senate who have been cold
bloodedly contemplating the condition
of affairs for over month. He won
dered that mohs had not taken matters
into their own hands. He then criti-
cised those who claimed that there was
not now sufficient authority to remedy
the evils which exist and said that we
may load down our statute books with
laws but unless the sworn officers of
the law shall discharge their duties
fearlessly and honestly, every effort to
protect the people will fail because of
their dereliction.
Efforts have been made" said Mr.
Tillman, proof has been fled, plead
ings have been had, petitions to the at
torney general filed, warning and beg
ging him to protect the people against
the impending danger. but he has sat
quietly in his Office and done nothing"
Rich and poor alike, he declared, are
freezing because of the fact that a mo-
nopoly does exist, but the lawyers have
failed to interpret the law in the inter-
est of the people

ACCUSED INDIANA JUDGE OUT
Rasch Of Circuit Court Of Evansville
Resjans From Bench.

indianapolis, Jan. 14.-As a result
of the charges against Judge Louis e.
Rasch of the Evansville circuit court
and his admissions before commit
tee Of the bar association of that city,
he today forwarded his resignation to
Governor Durbin. 1t will be accepted
and his successor appointed in few
days.
Judge Rasch has been regarded for
many years as one of the best lawyers
at the Evansville bar. Soon after he
was elected to the circuit bench he was
said to have approached A. c. Hawkins,
probate commissioner OF the court for
several years, and intimated that his
campaign expenses had been very
heavy and that the appointees Of the
court should reimburse him to some
extent. The amount Hawkins was to
pay was fixed at $3.50. and John San
ders, who was appointed bailiff, was
asked to pay $3.50. The latter sum was
paid, but Hawkins had difficulty in
raising his share, and in trying to do
so among his friends the facts came
out. Judge Rasch admitted his part III
the transaction, but said he had ap-
pointed Hawkins and Sanders before
the subject. Of money was preached
and that they would have served re-
gardless of paying the money.
The bar association determined to
impeach Judge Rasch If he had not vol!

THE POLITICS OF Ir.
A Story From Rome Regarding the
O'conneI Appointment.

Rome, Jan. 15.-In the vatican world
the appointment OF Manager O'Connell
to the rectorship of the Washington
Catholic university is considered
revolution. Manager O'Connell was the
trusted and authoritative lieutenant of
Archbishop Ireland at Rome. Loyalty
to his leader and his support OF So
called Americanism secured for him
"a persecution led especially by Cardin-
ais Ledocowski and Ciasco, both OF
whom are dead. Manager O'Connell
was dismissed from the rectorship OF
the American college here, and lived
for seven years at Rome without an
appointments The two American fac
tons which are recognized as chiefs
in the United States, Archbishops Ire
land and Corrigan, have now as CORE
spending leaders In Rome Cardinals
Satolli and Martinelli. Archbishop Ire
land got ahead thru Governor Tafts
coming to Rome to negotiate the Phil
ippine question. The present appoint
ment Of Manager O'Connell shows
decidedly which side the pope favors.
Old residents of the vatican say that
the real inwardness of the appointment
of Manager OConnell is that Arch
bishop Ireland will soon enter the sa-
cred college.

YOUNG coRsETT WINS.
Given Decision Over Austin Rice in
Eighteenth Round.

Hot Springs. Jan. Is Young Corbett.
the featherweight champion, was given
a decision over Austin Rice, of New
London, Last night in the eighteenth
round OF what was to have been a
twenty-round contest. The fight was
not to a finish, Rice staying the full
seventeen rounds. Just before the end
of this round Corbest landed a stiff
swing, glancing on the stomach. and as
a result Rice was taken sick during the
remainder of the fight.
On the calling of time at the begin
ming of the eighteenth round Rice's
seconds threw up the sponge and Cor
bett was given the decision. AS whole
the fight was disappointing. The feature
was Rice's footwork. But for his sue
cess in lodging Corbett's vicious lunges
he would have gone down early In the
game. Every round consisted OF rushes
and aggressive fighting by Corbett and
feinting and lodging by Rice. Once the
champion went to the floor, his foot
slipping as he lodged a lunge from
Rice.
Rice landed almost as many blows
as Corbett, but they lacked force.
