COCHRAN AND DAlZEIL CROSS

Mr.. Bourke Cochran of New York
in debate on the floor of the House
last week, was accused by Mr.. Dalzell
of having been paid to speak for Nc
kinley in 1S96-chickens are coming
home to roost as We see-but this is
not the point. Mr.. Dalzell was put
to shame in the debate, just as a Kan.
sas Congressman recently was when
he asserted that Grover Cleveland had
entertained negro at his table in the
White House, and when asked for his
authority said he saw the report
printed in the newspapers. When
asked to name one newspaper be could
not do SO, and never has done SO.
Mr.. Cochran asked Mr.. Dalzell for
his authority. Mr.. DalzelI said a Dem.
ocrat had told him. He was asked to
name him. He indeed was challenged
to name him, and would not, evident
ly because he could not. Mr.. Cochran
then turned contemptuously away
and scornfully said that any man who
would make such a charge and then
refuse to give the author was either
coward or liar.
The following shows how Mr.. Dal-
zell was driven to bay:
1.-The gentleman had better apply
that logic to himself right now" said
Mr.. Dalzell, land let me say to him

'By whom? By whom ~ shouted
Mr.. Cochran. Name him! Name

There was chorus of Name him

adding, what cannot be said in this

At this there was wild and tumul-

Democratic side.

The WAR IN THE EAST.

The war between Russia and Japan
still goes on. 1t is doubtful whether
we get or will get very correct reports
of what is occurring. but we do occa-
sionalIy get news. We heard at the
outset that Russia's feet at Port
Arthur had been well nigh destroyed
in a night. Other troubles have over
taken Russia since. Her fleet has
been several times injured, on one or
two occasions by her own ignorance or
carelessness, but recently has come
the startling news that her flagship
the Petropavlorsk, and battleshlp,
the Pobieda, had been destroyed and
Vice Admiral Makaroff and eight hun
bred men killed in the catastrophe.
Russia was depressed before this, but
on this occurrence she well nigh took
t. her bed as the saying goes. At
first it was declared that the flagship
had been blown up by Russian mine
which had fioated out of place, but it
at last has been admitted that the
japanese had decoyed the Russians
into trap. They had planted mines
secretly and when this was done they
made showing of their fleet in the
harbor. The Russians came pouring
out to do battle. Just then Japanese
ships rose from all directions and the
Russians took to their heels to run
back under cover, when the flagship
and the PObeida struck secret mines
and the one was destroyed and the
other crippled beyond repair.
We are now told that the Russians
will do better on land. Will they
Had they been anxious to do anything
as rapidly as the Japs have been going
toward them, they, by similar anxiety
and activity, could have met the Japs
half way and a land battle could
alreaY have been fought. 1t is plair
to any mind that the Russians have
been on the retreat.
Russia is tremendous country-OI

PARKER NOT THE UNANIMOUS
CHOICE.

There are grumblings over the mode
of dealing with the party by the gold
element They are, and always have
been, rule or ruin set. Things mnst
go their way or not at all, with them
it must be Parker or nobt dy. The
great mas of Democrats must sit SUI
pineiy down and have their political
ideas moulded for them, and political
platforms cramm ed down their thrOats.
If they show the slightest indepen-
Gence they are branded as disorganizers
by the very people who in the last
eight years have made conditions 20
intolerable. Mr. Bryan has attack ed
the New Y ork platform and in a way
has attacked Mr.. Parker, not Parke r
personally, but Parker as clay in the
hands of the potter-Hill. The plat
form is not, in our opinion, suffici ent
ly imposing to need attack 1t is a
collection of platitudes, and, very
meaningless platitudes, but they are
purely emanatiOns from New York,
and would not be anything coming
from that source, if they were not
broad and evasive expressions of pol
icies. We do not share with Mr.. Bryan
all his fears, nor do we think there is
so much immediate danger in the
Democratic principles even as enun
ciated by Mr.. Hill. We object more
to the source than the sentiments, but
we are with him in the idea that Par
ker ought not to be the nominee. We
still cling to the idea that compro-
mise must be effected, and if there is
a compromise Mcclellan will we think
be, and should be the man.

velt's case. Long before be felt him

books. He could not conceal hts bit
terness toward the South, and was
obliged to fling, in a cowardly way, at
it. He said: $50 long as the word
treason has its present significance
just SO long must jeff Davis be de-
nOunced as traitor" This thrust
was not at Davis as an Individual, it
was at the South, and bis conduct in
dealing with the South shows be meant
what he said. All of Mr.. Roosevelts
actions toward the South are exactly
like his shooting the Spaniard in the

worthy, but he died bachelor, having

NET TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Farmer Near Granger Mangled IN
Stalk Cutter.

Granger, April 26.-William Wacy-
of this place, lies at the point OF death
as the result of an accident few
DAYS ago while cutting stalks. Mr..
Wacy came here from England during
the winter and was employed by Will
lam Duffield to labor on the farm.
He was driving the stalk cutter and
had Gismounted from the machine for
some purpose when the team became
frightened and started to run. In
reaching for the reins Mr.. Wacy
stepped too far and one foot was
caught between the cutter knives in
such a manner that he was drawn
into the machinery, under the frame
work, and held tightly in that position.
The team ran across the field, dragging
the machine, with the unfortunate man
in this position, until stopped by Mr..
Duffield Upon investigation he was
Mortified to see MIR. Wacey's head and
one hand protruding from under the
box at the back of the cutter. With
the help of neighbors the man was
rescued, though 1t was necessary to
take the machine apart to remove the
body. The mans clothes were nearly
all gone, while his body was badly lac
Grated. 1t was thought at first that he
was dead, but he is still alive at the
present time.
