FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20.1895.

LAFAYETTE Call: Hon. .Tames A. Mount, of Shannondale, Montgomery county, is the latest candidate for Governor. Mr. Mount is seriously thinking of entering the race. There is not a better man in the State, and not many who hare greater points of popularity or who would make a better race.

REPUBLICAN organs, you may have noticed have stopped shouting "wildcat banks."—Argus-News. "Why, of course, since there is a Republican majority in Congress of 150 there is no danger of "wild-cat banks." You may have noticed, however, that Hoke Smith has been down in Georgia urging the Legislature of that State to pass a "wild-cat bank" bill and test the matter in the courts. The Democrats have only backed outjto go at it in another way.

"THE 'House Wednesday unanimously passed a bill authorizing the President to appoint a commission to ascertain the proper boundary line between Venezuela and British Guianna and appropriating §100,000 for expenses. When this commission reports where this line shall be, there it shall stand or there'll be a fight. It is safe to say that Johnny Bull will accept the decision. When Uncle Sam puts on his war paint John understands that he means business.

AFTER spending the big surplus, that Cleveland had left in the Treasury, the impudent claim was made that the Harrison Administration was a debt paying administration and then as it "beared its end it was hurled from power by an indignant people who evidently didn't take any stock in the boasted claim.—Argus-News. "An indignant people" have again been doing some "hurling" who evidently didn't take any stock in the bill of party perfidy and party dishonor. The elections held in 1894 and 1895 were a condemnation of the whole economic party, policy of the

Democratic party The people said by their votes that they were willing to return to McKinleyism or anything so it was not Democracy.

BRIEFLY stated the boundary dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain seems to be about this: The Essequibo River is generally recognized to be the western boundary of Guiana which England acquired from Holland in 1814. It was the line which Holland and Spain for a century and a half had been calling the westernly side of the former's possession. Along to 1840 there appears to have been no dispute on the point, but in that year, probably of information that the country beyond was rich in silver, England began to claim everything west of the Orinoco. Then Sir Robert Schomburg drew an arbitrary line which included all the new claim of England. But even Jbhis line did not extend far enough west to suit the British greed, and new boundaries, changed from time to time, but always extending westward and stealing more and more of Venezuela's territory, have been erccted. England refuses to arbitrate the question of title to territory east of the Schomburg line, a boundary put up without Venezuela's consent, and which she never recognized. This is the sort of an assault by a European Power on an independent nation on this continent which President Monroe declared would be "dangerous to our peace and safety."

THE Argus-Ncxvs makes a feeble attempt to defend the bill of "party perfidy and party dishonor," but it is plainly evident that it doesn't know what it is talking about. It attributes the "troubles" of the Administration to our financial system. Strange that these "troubles" never broke oat until after Grover Cleveland was elected the last time and when it became known that the Democrats had a majority in both houses of Congress. The green backs for thirty years were largely the principal currency of the country, and for fourteen years after the resumption of specie payments when the law required a reserve fund of 8100,000,000 for their redemption, there was no "trouble." The "trouble" did not begin until after the election of 1892 During the normal action of the McKinley law, from October, 1890, to July, 1893, when the Fifty-third Congress met, a period of thirty-four months, the receipts were 81,041,047,804, and the expenditures 81,017,075,- .. .tAil.f.-r-' i"5".''

215, leaving a surplus in the Treasury of §23,974,589. From that time on the business world began trimming its sails to meet the coming storm. Until the bill of "party perfidy and party dishonor"* was enacted, a period of thirteen months, the receipts were 8337,978.623, and the expenditures were 8404,489,304, leaving -a deficiency of 866,570,741. Then comes the work of the bill of "party perfidy and party dishonor," from its enactment to December 1, 1895, a period of fifteen months. The total receipts for this time were 8373,796,648, and the expenditures 8444,290,672, leaving a deficiency due to the Democratic tariff of 870,494,044. It will be observed that the McKinly law produced during its 34 months of normal action, not only sufficient to meet all the expenses of the government, but a handsome surplus of 823,974,589, and that its only deficiency period was that in which the new law jvas being framed, and which, as already shown, the imports were being held back. On the other hand, the "perfidy" law, which came in with the stock of foreign goods exhausted and the importers waiting to bring in enormous stocks under it, has produced a deficit of 870,494,044 in the fifteen months it has been in operation. What the financial system has to do with these deficiencies cannot be explained.

GOVERNMENTS are founded to afford protection—ours for the protection of its citizens in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Conditions exist elsewhere on the globu which are not in accord with life as we would have it, with liberty as we conceive it, or with happiness as it has been beneficently bestowed upon us in the past. It is natural to protect ourselves against these condition&. Protection, in its political and technical sense, and as exercised by the Republican party, accomplishes this. The very idea of protection inspires confidence. We see on all sides unmistakable evidences of returning confidence—because that party which has confidence-inspiring policies has again taken the reins of government.

HENRY CLAY stated the whole the' ory of protection in the following" words: "Every nation should anxiously endeavor to establish its absolute independence, and consequently be able to feed, and clothe, and defend itself. If it rely upon a foreign supply that may be cut off by the caprice of the nation yielding it, by war with it, or even by war with other nations, ft cannot be independent."

DEATH OF HOP COMER.

The Popular Hotel Clerk Succumbs to a Stroke of Paralysis.

I

________

E. Hopkins Comer died Wednesday at 11 o'clock p. m.at the home of Isaac Stover, two miles north of the city., where he was visiting when he received a stroke of paralysis last Monday morning. Mr. Comer regainedconsciousness but once after the attack, and that was upon the occasion of the arrival of his sisters from Ohio. The funeral occurred from the Stover residence Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, interment at Oak Hill cemetery. "Hop" Comer was born in Ohio forty five years ago, but in 1879 came to Crawfordsville to visit his uncle, Jere Townsley. While here he was offered and accepted the position of clerk at the Robbins House where he remained for several years, afterwards going to the Nutt House in the capacity of clerk. About three years he returned to the Robbins House as clerk, retaining the position until the time of his death. Few men who have lived here have enjoyed the many personal friendships enjoyed by Mr. Comer. He was liked by everyone and was one of the few who had no enemies. His hearty ways, his accommodating manners and his big heart made him a friend not only to the traveling public but with everyone in Crawfordsville. His death will be mourned sincerely by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance

And Others Injured by an Explosion on a Steamer.

Accident Takes Plaee While the St. Paul is at Her New York Pier.

A Steam Vulva In Her Engine Room Unrated and the Men Were Suffocated bjr btc-nm—Four of the Injured Have •••. bince Died of '1 heir In juries.

NEW YORE,.Dec. 19.—By the bursting- of a steam valve on board the American line steamer St. Paul, Pier 14 N. R., early Wednesday morning, five men were scalded to death and five others wore so badly scalded that they had to be taken to the hospital.

This is the list of the dead: James Fawns, second assistant engineer Wm. Manning, fourth assistant engineer Robert Campbell, machinist George Williams, machinist Daniel McCallion, a machinist helper.

Following is the list of .injured, who were moved to the Hudson street hospital: Robert Wilson, 35 years old, machinist, native of Scotland, scalded in face, neck, arms and legs. Frank

vNesper,

third assistant engineer. 29

years old, of lloxbury, Mass., scalded /about face and hands. Andrew Hearn, 45 years old, of Woolsen, England, storekeeper, scalded all over body. Adolph Falker, 28 years old, of this city, cleaner, scalded on hands, legs, arms and-neck. Durham, machinist, scalded on body.

The St. Paul came in last Saturday." She was already to sail at 11 o'clock Wednesday and had a large passenger list. This is what is known as her' •holiday trip, but the accident, it was said, on the pier Wednesday morning will delay her departure at least 24 hours. At the time of the accident there were about thirty men, engi.Heers, machinists and helpers in the "fire room and engine room. A large steam valve, leading from the fire5 room into »the engine room biirst and 'filled the two apartments with escaping steam.

James Carnegie, the chief engineer, .was not in the engine room when the -explosion occurred. The second assistant engineer, James Fawns was ,there with other assistants and machinists oiling the machinery and getting ready to sail at 11 o'clock. The noise of the escaping steam, which followed the bursting of the steam valve was heard on deck and great excitement followed on the ship. The cries of the men in the fire room were also heard and some of the crew went to their rescue. Two or three of the scalded men climbed on deck. The skin was peeled from their faces and arms and they presented a horrible appearance. For a few moments il was not known just what had transpired, on account of the dense steam which filled the fire and engine rooms and the excitement. When the steam had cleared- away it was found that five men had been scalded to death and that five others were badly injured. The injured were conveyed to the hospital.

The cause of the bursting of the steam valve is not known at present. Adolph' Folker, one of the firemen who was injured on the steamer St. Paul early Wednesday mornin, died Wednesday afternoon. Coroner's Physician Donlin found that all five of the firemen who were taken from the hold of the vessel died from asphyxiation by inhaling steam

Robert Wilson, another of the men injured in the explosion on the steamer St. Paul died Wednesday afternoon. Frank Vesper, third assistant engineer, of Roxbury, Mass., died at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday night, and Andrew Herd, 45 years old, a storekeeper, from Scotland,'died at 6:45 o'clock Wednesday night at the Hudson street hospital. The list of dead now numbers nine. fi DEATH TRAP.
