The Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Journal comments on
the fact that the Third congressional
district is making quite remarka-
bic record under the present ad-
miuistration in securing good
things. The district now has JUS
tice of the supreme court, state
auditor, assistant auditor, railroad
commissioner, member of the state
board of charities, penitentiary di-
rector, and regent of the agricul-
tural college, in addition to a few
smaller jobs. And a large part of
them can be traced to the diligent
work of Auditor Wells. And that
recalls the success that three Neo-
sho county boys have had. Seth G.
Wells, George W. Wheatley and Phil
Campbell were raised in adjoining
townships in Neosho county, and
were great boyhood friends. Wells
wae the only one who staid in his
home county, but all three got into
the political game. Wells was g
ndidate for auditor last year, and
controlled the Neosho county del
egation to the congressional con
vention. There he helped to nomi
nate Campbell, but he felt that h'
still owed something TO Wheatiey
and last week he took occasion 4
liiquidate ali the obligations that hs
4 might have in that direction by se
curing wheatley's election as rail
road conuaissione. W

CAPTAIN BEARN DROWNED
Attacked With Vertigo, He Falls From
Deck of Steamer.

Captain Francis NJ Bearn. one OF
the best known oystermen in Delaware
bay. fell from the deck OF the steamer
Mary u. Citizens, the other night, op-
posite Duck creek, and was drowned
He served on an oyster guard boat on
the Delaware side OF the bay, and was
on his way TO the home OF his daugh-
ter Mrs. Elizabeth NJ. Wallace, OF No.
1921 South Second street, Philadelphia,
with whom he resided.
The captain boarded the steamer at
Bowers Beach, and when opposite
Duck creek he was leaning over the
guard rail. He was stricken with ver-
tigo. It is believed, and that caused him
to fall.
Purser John Durber heard the cap
tains cry, and grasped him by the leg,
but could not retain his hold. The
purser had the steamer stopped, and a
lifeboat was lowered, but the body was
not found.
Captain Bearn was born in Mar
seilles, France, in 1898, and served in
the French navy. He had resided IN
Camden for nearly fifty years.

FOOLISH PARTY CRIES

in this fashion:
"Pennsylvania illustrates just what
Republicanism win do and what the
principle Of private graft ultimately
leads to-"
Haven't we had enough Of that sort
OF demagoguery? II Pennsylvania has
shown the evils which follow Republi-
can rule, then what has Democracy
demonstrated in St Louis? And what
did it demonstrate in New
York when Tammany was in
control? We all know that for years
our own State suffered from a species
OF rascality under Demccratic rule, and
that when the tide turned and the Re
publican party came into power Their
were those who favored a system whicl
made Democratic rascality innocent b,

REsoURCEFUL CALEB

Here Is the argument Of the Secretary
OF State. editor OF the Sentinel, for the
retention OF the Voters Assistant act:
Under the law OF this State. the
majority of the voters in the two
lower counties ARE deprived by LAW
OF any officer OF election except in
those instances where in spite of
fraud, of manipulation OF the bad
lots, and absence of representation
ON election boards they are strong
enough to overcome all obstacles.
This is the law. and has been for
years. IL Is not pertinent answer,
on the contrary II is a piece OF dis
tinct special pleading for Benjamin
Nields to enumerate the inspectors
and judges the Union Republican
party may have The fact is, IL
has nothing OF right and by the law
OF this State.
This argument when reduced to sim
ple propositions is as follows:
The Union Republicans under the
law are not entitled to election officers
and
The Union Republicans have had a
majority OF election officers despite the
law.
c. r. Layton, presumably, is conver-
SAINT with Sussex county politics. He il
probably aware that in fourteen OF the
nineteen districts at the last election
the Union Republicans had an inspec-
tor and a judge, Q majority in those
districts.
This was in accordance with thS
law, OF in defiance Of the law. Which
was 1t? If it was in accordance will
the law, then this editor has deliberate
ly lied. II in defiance OF the law, ther
he accuses his party Of wholesale law
breaking, and makes it plain that Their
was no legal election in Sussex las
fall
We ask the voluble and plausibl'
Secretary OF state, on which horn o
the dilemma he chooses to roost? w
trust that he will read this article u
the Governor tomorrow and explain il
