THE DAILY BEE -OMAHA MONDAY., NOVEMBER 26, 1883, THE MORAL OF IT. | We may moralize as much as we please about pain; but the fact is, that we don't like it while it lasts, and that we want to get rid of it as soon as we can. Whether caused by rheumatism, gout, disordered liver, weak nerves, irregular Kidneys, bad blood, or anything else that is just the reverse of what it should be, the sooner it is out of the system the happier we are. Whether pain is the result of imprudence or of acci- dent, or is sent as a punishment for our sins, may be a nice question for the philosophers to argue; but peo- ple who are suffering want first to be rid of the pain, after which those who are fond of argument may argue the matter to their hearts’ content. Above all theory, argument, and philosophy, comes the delightful fact that BRowN's IRON BITTERS drives pain away. Sufferers run no risk in trying this medicine, the only com- pound containing iron which carries no mischief with it. Those who have used it will tell you so; and you can {for yourscll}hy buying a bottle the nearest druggist. 7 ~ Catarrh.

A Spnited Tringulr Contest Among Promiment Democrats for the Speakership, Randall, Cox and Carlisle Pacing in the Ring, Witk Morrison a Strong Dark Horse, Philadelphia and the National Re publican Convention—Blaine in the Hands of His Frientls, Correspondence Chicago Herald. WasninaroN, Nov. 21.—The bloody shirt is producing strange effects in the Speakership fight, and there are present indications that it may bring about the selection of a dark horse, named William R. Morrison, of Illinois. Randall's friends are insisting that in view of the threatened sectional issues it would not only be unwise to make a Southern man Speaker, but that the democrats dare not do it. They are pressing this point for all it is worth, and the result has been to so infuriate the Carlisle men that they were prepared to cast every one of their votes for Cox, if they find that they cannot elect their own candidate. That was tho situation a couple of days ago. Mr. Cox understood it, and is now accused of secretly aiding the sectional cry. The Carlisle men think they have found this out, and begin to suspect that the New Yorker is really at the bottom of this entire strike against a Southern man. There was an attempt made to- day to combine the np[:nitinn to Ran. dall, but it could not be accomplished. There is a growing feelingamong the mem- bers in opposition to Randall that some other man than Cox or Carlisle may be taken up, for they are bound to beat Randall in any event. Morrison is admitted to be the ablest and fittest Western man. He is a warm friend of all the Carlisle faction, and has made no enemies in the ethers. He goes about innocently cracking jokes and trying to make everybody feel happy. Randall has discovered that tho sectional cry is hurting him, and to-day his friends here tried to hush it. The Randall men are also stirring up an ugly feoling by the continual cry that Randall is the only safe man, because with him as Speaker the democratic house will not make fools of themselves over the tariff and other troublesome things, and that the only hope for democracy in 1884 is in keeping its mouth shut this winter. A fair num- ber of domocrats, especially from the South, are unwilling to admit that they aro such consumnate idiots and bunglers as the Randall men would have them be- lieve that they are. “TIt looks,” said one of them, “‘as if Mr. Randall thought he was the only democratic congressman who had any sense. What are wo here for, anyway! Just to sit still and do nothing? It ap- pears to me that if the poople of this country had been nntintiec{ with the re- publican congress they would have kept it, but they aidn’t. Now Mr. Randall wants us to believe that our only safety is to leave everything just as the republi- cans fixed it.

In 1835, while an Indian trader and surgeon at Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia river, 1 witnessed the arrival of the Beaver, rigged as u sailing vessel, and bringing of course, cargo for the udson Bay company. On_the trip out she had been accompanied by a evu ort, which carried among other cargo the boiler and engines intended for the Beaver. Early in the summer of 1836 the trial trip of the Beaver around Sauve’s 1sland, at the death of the Wal- amet river, was the occasion of a holiday for several of the company’s ofticers, 1. MacLaughlin] with the ladies and school children, was on the Beaver. With other juniors I had more enjoyment in gallop- ing around the then open plains of Skuppoos, on the Walamet slough abeve above St. Helens; but I well remember our giving the Beaverthreerousing cheers a8 she sped along the Walamet, since rip pled by many o noble steamer. Seon after this the Beaver proceeded to the northwest coast to engage in the fur trade. In 1838, or about that time, in consequence of an arrangement between the British and Russian fur compannies, the Beaver's range extended from Nis- qually in Puget sound to Lynn canal at the head. of Chatham strait. In the autumn of 1836, having had to visit one of the steamer’s passengers from the northy I saw the Beaver in tull working order at Nisqually. In 1846 the Beaver came to Nisqually for the renewal of her bailers. I had been in charge of that post since June, 1843, The breaking up of theold boilers furnished opportune em- ployment to an American named McAl lister, who, with a few others, had set- tled near Olympia in 1845, In the sixties the Beaver was leased for act of a democratic house will be to vote that it is an idiot, and unable to take care noeau o 'pfll'. / ahe el ARERE 300 OTIKIRIFIN, Hes e OREES, TO0 & LiGHT WORK, #10 of itself, 'Wonoed neither a muzzlo nor a guardian.” Recent arrivals ‘have all been of men whose pledges to the differ- there is a sad Jack of material to work up- on.

Ho is to receive a princely sum from his publishers for his work, A question soon to be decided is as to the place where the next national repub- lican Convention will hold its session There is a strong feeling among prom- inent republicans that it will be best, for various reasons, sto hold the convention in somo Eastern city. If this should e determined by the national committee, which meets here on the 12th of next month, the impression is that Philadel- phis will be selected asthe place, although it is said that Philadelphia has no hall large enough for the purpose.

The two concerns have in the first place divided up the territory. The Pacific Slope is out up into two districts. One of these is handed over to the Northern Pacific, the other to the Central Pacific. Each road binds itself not to go into the other’s territory. With the consummation within & few days of this arrangement disappear all hopes of competition for the Californians, and one of the objects of the chartering and subsidizing of the Northern Pacific—that of introducing competition into transcontinental traffic— is defeated. But the interesting fact now tr that to persuado the Northern Paci accede to this plan the Central Pacific has agroed to pay it the yearly sum of £500,000 as & compensation for not com- ing into ‘“‘its territory.” The negotiations on this detail of the pool have been long and tedious, Tt was at firet proposed that the Central Pacific should give the North- ern Pacific 16 per cent of the receipts from its through traffic as a reward for sxicants to excoss for fifteen years, but (b o 2oport of | firing thio last two yoars has entirely ab- s Ho thinks the Acid Phosphato ! : guid minds that cling to tho thecry that |found in The Manhattan for December. election, and Randall is opposed by the |41l the evils which arise in human affairs begin by trying to regulate them herself.

MYERS,. His Answer to the Allegations of D, B Vermilye, General Myers publishes inthe Chicago Tribune, of November 21st, an answer to the various charges made against him by Daniel B. Vermilye. CGeneral Myers sues Vermilye for the embezzlement of $20,000 entrusted to him to invest in Northern Pacific lands, and he also sues him for slander in having stated that Gen. Myers had committed adultery with Mrs, Ver- milye. Mr. Vermilye has commenced divorce proceedings, and rotaliates upon Gen. Myers by making complaint against him in Minnesota for adultery. Ver- milye attempted to extradite Myers from Illinois to Minnesota, but failed, as the governor of Minnesota refused to grant him a requisition. General Myers, in his published answer to the charges, shows up Vermilye in a very unenviable light. He says: “‘Ver. milye sought this requisition to drag me unnecessarily before a Justice of the Peace, or through a criminal court to make a defense which must and will be made in his pending divorce proceedings; and in order to get this requisition of course made the strongest possible show- ing. First, a statement of a cook; sec- ond, an alleged copy of a letter ‘written by me; aad third, a copy of an agreement for the return of the child from Europe signed by me and witnessed by my wife. And out of these three oniy one could possibly be made admissible as evidence to provethe main allegation—that of adul- tery—and that oneisthe cook's statemen t. Allowing for all the spleen she might feel for discharging her as 1 did when keeping *bachelor’s’ hall with Mr. Ver- milye after his wife and her mother had gone, and for all that the vicious fancy of Vermilye could add to the statement, it is nothing but a string of conjectures of what she ‘was informed by Annie Hinds and Ellen ofcCarthy'—but why weren't their statements produced?—and of what she ‘thought’ and ‘} ' and amid all this groveling stuff there is but one state- ment that i worthy of direct notice—that during the time I was sick at the house ‘Mrs. Vermilye spent the entire time in my room and the door waslocked. 1 and could not do 8o.” She omits to men- tion the constant presence of her mother; omits to mention that there were three doors to my room: and omits to mention that she tried all three of them on that ‘one’ occasion, and omits to mention that 1 was even in the room at the time she made this effort. So far as it appears I was not there at the time. “The hcuse wasmy home and T was regarded as one of the inmates. The bedroom of Mrs. Vermilye was used as a family sitting room where her mother, husband, and family sat, and the doors were seldom closed and never locked; and when this is known all improprieiy which is endeavored to be placed upon it in that ‘statement’ will be thoroughly dissipated.” General Myers says that the letter is wholly manufactured, and he explains the Lausanne agreement as follows: Mrs. Vermilyo and her child were traveling with my wife and myself, and after ar- riving there, she being very sick, her and a writ granting custody of the child to the husband in accordance with the laws of Switzerland. To have /been be- reft of her child would have destroyed the little life yet remaining in her, and I joined in the assurance to relieve her anxiety; but I have yet to learn that this simple act was either criminal or repre- hensible, and, therefore, have nothing about that to paliate or deny. *“ They need not feel uneasy about my being in St. Paul at the proper time and staying there till the whole plot is ex- posed and the honor of Mrs. Vermilye and my own thoroughly vindicated. Dut what & picture he does present, posing before the public as an_injured husband after waiting for more than a year after he alleges he made the discovery of my guilt, and after waiting until 1 brought suit against him for slander and he had become a refugee from this city. His whole purpose now is to try to divert at- tention from his own character and man- ifold crimes by holding his poor wife up to the scorn and contempt of the world. You see his sudden demand for my pun- ishment is not in keeping with his past acts, and as & deception is too apparent to oonvince any thinking person,”’ *So far as these allegations concern mo or implicate his wife with me they are utterly false.

Miss Krederica Bartlett, of New York, oung, beauti- ful and accomplished, in October, 1859, married Sennor Oviedo, a Cuban of great wealth, The jowels ho gave her were exhibited at Tifany's, whither numbers of people went to see them, and the marriage was the talk of the town.

But this resentment sho long slnce got over, and she and her satirist are very good friends, Senner Oviedo lived after his marriage some ten years, and for nine years after his death his widow was engaged ina legal battle for her property. Thus she resided in Cuba more than nineteen yoaes, Last year in New York she mar- ried—a love match—Cox, von Glumer, a German gentlomen who holds an offi- cial position in Mexico.

Learning that he was continuing his_vile utrerances, 1 resolved to pro- cipitate matters, and came back from Europo expressly for that purpose. When I heard of his arrest in Chicago I telegraphed my attorney, Gen. Beem, to bring action for slander against him at once, which is now pending here and will be tried. He then made a voluntary and unconditional retraction of his slanders against me and his wife to my attorney, but as 1 present I declined to accept it as tory, as he had made so many similar ones before—as in that letter, for in- just before leaving St Paul ona surgeons’ certificate of disability, the Rev.
