horror" in which woman and three
children were burned to death on
April 27, making eight since the
search started yesterday morning, or
16 mysterious deaths in the case.
This makes the Guinness farm grave
yard for murder victims without a
numerical equal in the history of
America. The search continues. The
postmaster this afternoon asserted
that Mrs. Guinness was a Bluebeard
in skirts, and that she received at
least ten letters every day for years
from all parts of the country in an
swer to matrimonial bureau adver-
tisements.
There developed today the theory
that Mrs. Guinness did not die in the
fire which destroyed her home on
the night of April 27 and that she is
still alive and in hiding, probably in
Chicago.
This theory is strengthened by the
fact that the head of the body of the
woman found in the ruins Of the
Guinness home after the fire is still
missing although every effort has
been made by the authorities to 10
cate it, even to going through the
charred timbers piece by piece. Un-

The steady volume of abuse to
which Governor Broward is now being
subjected in many quarters by press
and politicians is quite likely to do
him more good than harm. The peo-
pie have way of resenting that kind
OF treatment, and they also have a
way of insisting that a candidate
shall travel on his own merits, not on
the alleged or real dement's of some
body else The best way in the world
to make man popular is to arouse
sympathy for him by a continuous
stream of hard words Governor
Broward is doubtless shrewd enough
politician TO understand this, and in
to feel no special re-
grets over the deal he is now getting.
but it wouldn't be a bad idea for the
who are giving him the
deal to 'let up" on him unless they

He Once Sought
to Rival Bryan.

We have always felt lively inter
est in the fortunes of Joe Bailey, the
tainted Texas senator, now on trial
before the people of that state for his
political life. We have admired him
Tor his fine abilities, his sturdy, fight
ing qualities, and his magnificent gall
Our attention was first called to the
latter trait in his character when he
assumed an air of deeply Injured in
nocence because the democratic party
didn't nominate him for president in
stead of Bryan in Chicago in 1896, and
ever since then we have noticed that
in both fair weather and foul the Hon.
Joseph Weldon Bailey's gall was a
steadily increasing quantity, apparent,
ly impervious to all earthly discour-
agements, and likely to beat all hui
man endeavor. ancient and modern,
along that line of development. We
have not been disappointed. Mr.. Bailey
has made a new record, something so
unapproachable that it is almost
superhuman, and gives US an uncanny
feeling when We are compelled to
view it at close range.
AS our readers all know, Mr.. Bailey
has been gravely suspected of i'm
proper dalliance with Standard Oil
sirens dur ng recent years, to the ma
terial profit of his bank account, even
while he was posing as the Immacu-
late Senator who loathed and abhorred
the Octopus as virtue hates vice; but
they pinned him down on the cold
facts in the case so mercilessly in
the Texas legislative Investigation
that Joseph was almost glad to get
of with his life, and he has been a
suspect ever since.
But did that check his gall? Not
much. Rather did it give it new life.
and while We admire a reasonable
amount of that metallic quality IN a
statesman, we are bound to confess
that Mr.. Bailey pleases US entirely too
well. He is now engaged in a speech
making tour in Texas to save, If pos
Sible. some remnant of his former po-
!itical reputation. The other day, at
3elIville. in that state, he made a
speech from. which we take the fol-

anything about the South in a broad,

even in suggesting that this section

DRY of Eli Whitney. the inventor of

less sectional and invidious, as Mr..
Whitney was a man of New England
birth But nevertheless the sugses-

should have a handsome memorial a.

belt, for his invention marked an
epoch in the industrial history of the

benefit upon the South He was an
adopted son of this section, and as
has always been the case, the South
ern people thought not the less of
him because his birthplace was else
where, but We're glad TO do full credit
to the genius of the man and give UNI
qualified honor to his memory. But
Whitney deserves the monument and
it should be erected on Southern soil

address in advoi-ac of his candidacy
for the United States senate from
Florida to an interested and appre-
ciative audience Wednesday afternoon
at , O'Clock in the courthouse in Ia

on the questions at issue in a lucid
eloquent and cOnyinc ng speech. His
presence, his eloquent Voice, bright
with the radiance Of intellect. and his
splendid record as a democrat won
him number of votes. Mr.. Boards
main theme was how the negro re-
ceived his franchise and how he
could be DISTINGUISHED. He has stud
ed this question for years and puts
up convincing argument on the QueS-
ton. At the last session of the legis-
iature he introduced a resolution
amending the state constitution
which was passed by a large major
ity in the senate, of which he was a
-nember, but it was voted DOWN in
The house.
Mr. Beard has served the demo-
