Blackburn Called From the Stump— Democrats Adjusting Themselves toe New Conditions, No other quotable circumstance of the day so foretbly illustrates democratic em- barrassment on the silver question as the action of the state committee of that party in Kentucky in calling Mr. Blackburn tem- porarily off the stump. The politicians are astounded. The thing, indeed, Is almost in- credible. But it is a fact, and Mr. Black- burn, with an obedience that scarcely com- perts with his general characteristics, but testifies to the genuineness of his democ- racy, has canceled all engagements and gone upon waiting orders. The committee will see him later, and whatever part in the campaign he may take later will be as the result of party conference and agreement. But, startling as all of this is, it is re- garded as grounded in wise caution and gcod politics. There is a new day in the biue grass state. And the new day begets new methods. It is no longer sufficient for democratic speakers to go upon the stump ard read the old indictment against the other side. The old indictment may still be effective in certain of its counts, but there are certain other counts that cannot this time be used. For an instance, the old denunciation of Mr. Sherman will have to be omitted, because, as Mr. Blackburn him- self charged in the recent state convention, the dominant wing of the Kentucky democ- racy has now gone over to the Sherman school of finance. Clearly, therefore, there must be a change as to that; and maybe as to some other things. An Awkward Situation. The state committee is evidently impress- ed with the necessity of making a coherent campaign, if that is possible in the ex- tremely awkward circumstances that ex- ist. The main difficulty is that every dem- ocratic leader in the state is on record on one side cr the other of the” money aues- tion. The campaign for delegates to the state convention extended over four months, and in that time a great deal of history, sll very troublesome now, was made. Mr. Blackburn and his friends de- nounce+ what the state convention after- ward wrote into its platform, while Mr. Carlisle and his friends denounced what Gen. Hardin, for all he is now standing on the Carlislé platform, was then vigorously advocating and is still in reality committed to. How is all this to be harmonized? The republicans are allve to the enemy's dis- comfiture, snd are only waiting to draw the record when the stumping begins. It 1s absolutely necessary, therefore, that the democracy agree upon some line of discus- sion before the people. Mr. Blackburn could not go on advocating free silver in defiance of tke purty’s platform, nor the Carlisle pecple go on denourcing free sil- ver with Gen. Hardin at the bead of the ticket, without inviting defeat, at the polls and making the party ridicul There is no thought, of course, of his re- tracting any of his silver views; but a con- ference will serve to make it plainer to him and to others what line he may follow to best advantage all round. ‘Then Mr. Dlack- fe is still In the race for the Senate, and must work somewhat in harmony with the gen- eral program. He wants, and will need, all the support possible to be obtained, and as he must address all sorts and condi- tions of derrocrsts, he is wise in deferring to the wishes of the state committee, which essentially is the representative of the whole party organization. But such pru- dence and conservatism are none the less a surprise in one of Mr. Blackburn’s ag- gressive and impatient temperament, and show how unusual the political situation is that produces those qualities in him. . ———— EXCURSIONS. ‘The first Thursday night trip to Indian Head on the steamer Macalester was a complete success. The two morning boats carried down immense crowds who spent the day at Marshall Hall, and in the even- ing took the beautiful sall to Indian Head on the 6:30 boat. It is estimated that 3,000 people took the trip during the day yester- day and enjoy the breezes and attractions at the Hall. The Ferris wheel in particular wag the object of general admiration, and many hundreds made the ascent, express- ing themselves as being delighted with the beautiful view obtained from the top of the big circle. The dancing floor was crowded, and Prof. Schroeder's orchestra discoursed the best of music throughout the evening. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday night trips will be run on regular schedule time for the rest of the season from the present date. Tomorrow 1s the last chance the children will have to see Minerva, the champion strong woman of the world, and Herr Blatt, who catches a cannon ball fired straight at him from an immense steel gun. The fare on the 9:45 and 1:45 boats 1s 10 cents, and the little ones can have a full day of pleas- ure for this moderate sum. The Saturday family trips are becoming more and more popular every week, and it is expected that tomorrow will be ene of the biggest days of the year. The 6:45 boat, after touching at River View, will proceed on her way to Indian Head, thus giving a delightful sail to those who wish to avall themselves of this opportunity. Those who wish to have a good time should go with the Jolly Fat Men to River View on Monday next. There will be the usual match games and sports, in which $200 will be given in prizes. The base ball game between the members of the Jolly Fat Men of this city and those of Balti- mére promises to be highly interesting, as they are about evenly matched in weight. The steamer Pentz will leave at 9:45 a.m., 1:45 and 6:45 p.m. ag Golden Cross Installations. The officers of Columbia Commandery have been installed by Deputy Grand Com- mander George W..F.

THE OHIO DEMOCRACY 3 Mrz, Heisel, Who Worked as » Miner, Sug- gosted for Governor. Ex-Representative- Lamison Thinks He Would Be a Good Man and Ap- peal to the Wofking People. Soa nee Ex-Representative_C. N. Lamison of Lima, Ohio, is at Willard’s Hotel. Mr. Lamison is well knéwh tn this city, for be- side having-served in the Forty-second and Forty-third Congresses; he was kept here for a number of years‘in looking after an extensive practice Before committees of that body. Mr. Lamison still retains a live interest in Ohio politics, and 1s one of the import- ant factors in the democracy of north- west Ohio, where he lives. He has always been a strong party man, and is always in demand during campaigns in which hia party has great interests at stake. A Possible Democratic Candidate. “I noticed yesterday,” said Mr. Lami- son to’a Star reporter, “that Mr. Helsel of Paulding county was mentioned ds an available man for the nomination as gov- ernor by the democrats. It occurred to me that there was a good deal in that sugges- tion, especially in view of the fact that the republicans have nominated a mil- Honatre for the gubernatorial office in the person of Mr. Asa Bushnell. Heisel would appeal strongly to the working classes of the state, for the reason that he was a miner in his younger days and worked in the coal mines with a pick near Nelson- ville. He has ever since been connected with the mining interests in one way or another and worked his way up in the world through sheer energy and ability. Hoe is a good talker and would make a strong candidate. “I regard Helisel’s candidacy as especial- ly worthy of note, because Mr. Sorg ap- pears to be backward in accepting the nomination for which he would have an excellent chance if he were willing to ac- cept it. It would not be a bad idea to have the demccratic party led by a man who has worked side by side with coal miners and who knows their conditions of life by experience. No Split in the Party. “I have no fear that there will be a split in the demecratic party in Ohio over the silver question. The party is divided over that question only as it has been often diyided over other questions. The tariff caused the same division in the party, and when it was finally fought over ir Con- gress the result was not remarkably sat- isfactory. Whatever resolution the con- vention adopts the party will stick to- gether. My own opinion is that the gub- ernatorial convention, which meets on Au- gust 22, will approve the resolution on silver which was adopted in the conven- tlor which nominated Cleveland for the presidency in 1892. “It is not a sure thing that the repub- Means will carry the legislature of Ohio at the next election. 1 think the demo- crats have a good chance to do that even should the state go republican in the pre idential contest. I have known the legis- lature te be democratic when the vote on the presidential tieket. gave the republi- licans a majority of 15,900. If the legisla- ture should be democratic I feel sure that Mr. Brice will again be elected to the United States Senate. Republican Division Greater Than Democrats. “The division in the republican party of Ohio is much greater than any that exists in the ranks of the democracy. The fight between the Foraker and the Sherman- McKinley factions ig a fight that cannot be stopped short of the defeat of one of the factions. I do not ‘think that Mr. McKin- ley will be strongly backed for the presi- dency. He is making trips about talking on the tariff and endeavoring to bring that issue to the front, but in my Judgment ‘he -has taken up with an impossible task. The people don’t want to hear anything about the tariff. It will be ten years be- fore any man of tmportance will dare treat the tariff as a live issue, and it can then be taken up only as a result of our com- mercial necessities. The republican dele- gation of Ohio will go to the convention in favor of McKinley, but they will very readily see him defeated, for they will not have their heart in their work. “The democrats of Ohio have good pres- {dential timber in the persons of Senator Brice and ex-Gov. Campbell. Mr. Camp- bell is more spoken of in connection with the presidential nomination than ts Mr. Brice, and he has a very strong back- ing in the state. —_—___-2+__—__ AFRO-AMERICAN EDITORS.

The National Schuetzenbund of the Unit- ed States wound up its first shooting fes- tival at Glendale Park, L. L, Wednesday night, and every one connected with the affair is more than satisfied with its suc- cess throughout. By making a score of 371 in his first 200 shots at the same mark, F. C. Ross of Brooklyn was crowned Shooting King, and got the king’s gold medal, valued at $100, and $50 in cash as well. The first name to be called out from the list of winners on the Ring target was George Helm of San Francisco, who made the highest possible score. of seventy-five. His cash prizes amounted in all to $870. Six beautiful silver wreaths were donated for the high men in the different contests, and Helm got two of them. ————_+-e+-___. Flight of the Corean Dictator. The Department of State has been ad- vised by our minister at Seoul that there ts much excitement in that capital over the flight of the minister of the interior, Pak Yong-hyo, the practicul dictator of Corea for the last six months. The king issued an order for his arrest on the charge of treason, which gave complete satisfaction to the Japanese, but the latter, fearing the effect on Japanese public opinion of the ar- rest of the minister, who was supposed to be strongly Japanese in his views, abetted his escape to Japan. —_——_~-e+_—__ Indemnity From Morocco.

When I asked him whether there was any truth in the statement he laughed and shook his head. “{ don’t know why every one wants to marry me off,” he said. “I don’t know that I object to it so very much, but my ward, Miss Collins, is not a very rich woman. i fave been this young lady's guardian ever since she was three years old. “Do you know I am getting tired deny- ing the reports of my many engagements, and I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell my friends who are arranging my matrimonial plans for me what kind of a woman I think I would like to marry, if I ever Go marry. I don’t care about her being rich; in fact, I should prefer her otherwise. “But what I particularly want them to ; choose for me is a woman who is intel- lectual, one who is noted for her mental capacity, and a woman who has accom- plished something in the world. Now, if they would just find that woman and ar- range matters for me I might consider the proposition.” Gov. Brown of Maryland states that he is not a candidate for renomination by the democratic party, and that no considera- tions could be offered to induce hin to ehange his mind, not even a unanimous re- nomination by the convention. TO HIT THE BULL’S-EYE. It is Said to Be a Matter of Aim and Barrel. From the New York Times. “It's all in the barrel and ‘holding on,’” Was a famous sharpshooter’s summary of the art of bull’s-eye hitting at the shooting festival at Glendale Park, L. L, last week. But art in aim and dilletantism in the minutiae of the implements used are wide- ly apart. Relics of the days of Crockett and Boone show that sharpshooting today is as it was when the arquebusiers ofthe primeval forest sallied forth for deer meat with terrible hunting engines, some need- ing the crotch of a sapling for aim-taking, but the barrel was there, and so was the “holding on,” and men today do not make truer shots at a black disk than did the backwoodsmen when rifles weighed from twenty to thirty pounds, and only “a shot behind the shoulder” was considered sportsmanlike. The barrel, too, is the thing at the Thanksgiving shooting contests today. Given a rifled steel tube, bored true, and the gift of “holding on,” and the stock, lock and other accessories are secondary in importance, and the farmer's son with his grandfather's “shooting iron” is, if-he can draw a bead, as likely to take a turkey home as the rival equipped with the most modern arm. It is only a question of aim and barrel, after all, These principles will obtain a century hence, when, perhaps, the ammu- nition, stock fashions and lock mechanisms of today will be regarded as antiquities. Even today, the old-fashioned muzzle-load- er holds its own against the newest device in breech-loading rifes, just as the ramrod “seatter gun” in the brush, be it of pot metal or stub twist, will “wipe the eye” of the competing $1,000 choke-bore if the sportsman with the less costly weapon “holds on.” The cancer fest last week was re- plete in such suggestions, because of the endless variety of arms used and the :do- syneracies of the marksmen. There were twenty-two double loading tables, affording comfortable room for 130 shooters to clean or load their weapons at one time, and each table, each man, in fact, was an ob- ject lesson in the arms and methods of both up-to-date and old short-range target, shooting. ————_+e+____ The North Atlantic Mancuvers. The general plan of the proposed maneu- vers of the North Atlantic squadron, Ad- miral Bunce commanding, this fall is based vpon a theoretical defense of that portion of the coast lying between Cape Cod and the capes of the Chesapeake. The fleetest vessels will be sent out to sea as scouts, and they will return to the rerdezvous to report the supposed appearance of a hos- tile fleet off certain points on the coast within these limits, when attempts will be made to repulse the threatened attack. It is likely that the greatest demonstrations will be off the eastern entrance to Long Island sound, which has long been regard- ed as the most probable pathway to New York harbor that would be followed by an enemy, and also at the entrance of Chesa- peake bay, whence a blow might be direct- ed at the capital of the nation. + e+_____ Nez Perces Claim to Be Paid. Secretary Smith has requested the Treas- ury Department to pay the $600,000 due to the Nez Perces Indians in Idaho for their lands sold to the government a year ago. The payment was stopped two months ago on account of charges of fraud of various sorts. These have proved unfounded, and there is no further reason for delay. The tribe comprises 1,829 persons, each of whom will receive a little over $2,000. ee Must Respect the Law. A delegation of the ministers of Austin, Tex., have called on Goy. Culbertson and earnestly appealed to the governor to pre- vent the Corbett-Fitzstmmons fight at Dal- las, saying that it was a burning shame. The governor gave them a_ respectful hearing and assured them that if the pro- visions of the law were adequate offi- cers would see to it that the fight would not come off. The ministers say they want the laws made adequate so as to prevent the fight.
