An Enemy
of the
People
A Fourth of July Story
By HOWARD FIELDING
Copyright, 1904, by Charles w. Hooke

a s I understood the story from the
"a brief remarks of my city editor.
IN it was this:
The Fourth OF July grafton in
the little city of Southborouga had
been delivered every year In the last
twenty by man named Joshua r
Stoughton. He was a political leader
and might fairly be called the boss Of
both parties in scarborough and the
county, for no man or measure ever
prospered except with his consent
The city always held elaborate cello
5rations OF patriotic festivals. and the
chief address was always delivered nv
Stoughton. All other speeches wore
merely echoes of his voice. Therefore
the news that he would not deliver the
Fourth Of July Grafton this year was
important, and the explanation sent In
by our local correspondent made 1t DOS.
itively sensational
1t appeared that a street railway
franchise ordinance of a peculiarly
comprehensive and generous charac
ter had been before the Southborougb
aldermen since June 10 On June II
the city celebrated the anniversary OF
the battle of Bunker Hill with . mod
est demonstration, and Stoughton made
the speech of the day. In the course
of his remarks he pointed with salts
faction to the franchise measure
which, he said was destined to mark
n f,,I
development that had already filled
the heart of every good citizen OF
scarborough with pride and Joy, OF
words to that effect
The franchise scheme, and especial.
ly the reference to 1t In Stoughton's
speech, had aroused unprecedented op-
position In the city. Lesser provoca.
ton of similar sort had made trouble
in the past, but prominent people had
been afraid to speak out because OF
Stoughton's power and the unrelenting
nature of his vengeance. Now, how
ever, the city was really astir. Vari
Gus organizations which usually kept
aloof from public matters had de
nounced the ordinance, and one of th&
two small local papers had come out
with accusations of bribery This pa
per also dared to say that Stoughton'l
attitude in this matter and his shame
less utterances on June II proved hin
to be public enemy and utterly unfit
to address his fellow citizens on such
an occasion as that which commend
rated the birth of American independ
ence.
Nobody supposed that this protes
would have any effect. The man whC
wrote it would have been the last t
believe that the course of destiny could
be stayed by any word of his, and h'
was almost petrifed by surprise wher
it began to be whispered about the city
that Stoughton would not be the Fourth
Of July orator. Meanwhile, however
the ordinance had been passed and haC
gone to the mayor for his signature
AS the mayor owed his political exist
ence to Stoughton, nobody doubted thai
the signature would be affixed, yet The
days passed, and the ordinance re

Mrs. Henry Blackshire, tried for
completely in the murder of her hus--
band in Calhoun county several
months ago. if guilty at all, must
certainly have been equally guilty
with the two men. who confessed and
were sentenced to life imprisonment
Three wears for her seems out of all
reason. 1t looks from this distance
IS if she ought to hang. That she
inspired the murder is scarcely to be
loubted. 1t seems that she was the
primary cause and that there would
have been no murder, if she had not
worked it up. In this case it seems
a pitv that the state can not have the
verdict set aside.

Democrats announce that the
Standard Oil Company is doing
practically no work in West Vir-
einia on account of the new tax laws
and is waiting until the state can
get rid of those laws. Then they
express anxiety for the Independent
concerns and the farmers in Kansas
and seem to be afraid the Standard
grasp will ruin that state They
appear eager to get the Standard ont
Of Kansas, but are very anxious to
keep it in West Virginia, although
they have howled for years against
the Standard. 1t occurs to the
Telegram that if the great oil COM
panv is so afraid of the new tax laws
and the oil company Is so oppressive
as the Democrats have claimed. that
the new tax laws will rid West If
ginia of that great concern and thus
bring relief to so many afflicted anC
aggrieved Democrats, and doing thai
they ought not to deplore the gooe
work of the new laws. But. thu
truth is the Standard is doing con
siderable new work as shown by thu
daily reports from the oil fields, ant
is not making an ado over the new
tax laws, as some would have people

der the impression that it WAS valuable

standard in value required Of land Sc

on evidence recently submitted by At

and reconsidered. Favorable decision
may be expected within few days
Senator Hepburn has been before the
secretary of the interior IA number OF
times in the matter. and yesterday fur

INTERESTING CRIMINAL CASE

of these is entitled the State VS.. Payne
Sly, who was sent to the penitentiary
for life for the murder of Marshal John
Hays of Troy in January, 1904. The
defense will present number Of inter-
esting points. Perhaps the most novel
is an allegation that the information
was insufficient because it failed to
allege. the time of death. it being con-
tended this should have been done in
conformity with the old year and a
day" rule. The supreme court will be
asked to decide a question not alto
gether dissimilar to the mooted in
lowing the flag. The original Idaho
criminal statutes were taken from
California, and it will be asked Of the
court by the defense to hold that the
construction placed on those statutes
by the California supreme court prior
, to their adoption in Idaho should fol-
low the statutes into Idaho. Subse-
| quently the California courts departed
, from the construction requiring the al
legation that the victim came to his
death within year and a day as the
| result of the specific assault, but the
defense this case will urge that the
former construction should apply here

WHALE CAUSED TROUBLE
Broke Alaskan Cable and Sunk Ship

command of the Burnside when that
government craft was on its way 70

membered that this submarine tele-
graph wire had been broken in the
oldest sort of way, though the unfor-
tunate collision Herewith of big
sperm whale, while the latter was
making meal on raw fish near the
ocean bottom. Mr.. Whale little
dreamed that this contact would cause
his death. but curiously enough he got
so tangled up in the wires that he was
unable to free himself and died most
miserable death by drowning and star
walton.
On her way to mend the cable. while
in the Seymour Narrows. between van
couyer and British Columbia, the Burn
side was also victim of an accident. fol
| she ran afoul of big rock that tore
gaming hole in her bottom and put ar
end to all immediate plans of repair.
1t seems that whale are still tn
source of human woe, as they were II
the days Of Jonah, for was not th'
one that was drowned by the cable
the indirect cause of the almost fata
accident to the Burnside, and likewis'
resulted in the separation of Captain
