O
Judge Thompsox, of the Grand
Island district, has declared uncon
stitutional the law enacted bv the
last legislature relative to what con
stitutes a legal newspaper, upon the
ground that the above bill did not
clearly express in its title the nature
of the changes which were to be
made in our statutes upon this sub
ject; and the act did not contain the
sections intended to be repealed.
This statute was one of the pet
measures of our own and only Bill
Akera, and should the supreme court
sustain the decision of the district
judge it will be another blow at this
individual's record as a statesman.
They have taken to lynching
criminals in Illinois on the ground
that if the latter are left to the law
and are tried and convicted, the an
archist Governor Altgeld will par
don them out. The season is not
sufficient, of course. But so far as
it goes it is entirely true and valid;
Tt is difficult to imagine a convict
too vile and impenitent to receive
Altgeld's "clemency." Illinois is
to-day a sort of thug's paradise.
That is the price the state has to
pay for the privilege of having a
democratic-socialist-anarchist crank
for its goyernor. New York Tribune.
Death of "W- Q. Gresham.
Walter Q. Gresham, secretary
of state, died at his rooms in a
Washington hotel at 1:15 o'clock
Tuesdav morning of the formation
of a gall stone in the bladder, united
with a pleuritic attack a few hours
after his first illness. The deceased
was born in Harrison couuty, Indi
ana, in 1832, on March 17th. After
a successful career in state politics
until the breaking out of the war,
he was appointed colonel of the
Thirty-eight Indiana and in Decem
ber, 1861, "was given comand of the
Fifty-third Indiana. From that
time until August 11th, 1803, with
his regiment he followed the for
tunes of Gen. Grant's army in the
valley of the Mississippi. At the
last named date he was promoted to
the rank of brigadier general, and
placed in command of the post at
Natchez. The following spring he
was placed in command of a divi
sion of the Army of the Teunessee
to take part in the campaign against
Atlanta. At Leggett's Hill, on
July 20, 1864, while under a storm
of bullets, he was wounded in the
knee so severely that he was dis
abled for a year, which prevented
him from participating in future
military service. March a 5, 1865,
he was breyetted major general for
bravery before Atlauta. In 1869,
President Grant invited him to be-
TT . - .
come United btates district judge
for Indiana, which position he main
tained with credit and ability tor
nearly thirteen years. It was while
serving the people in this capacity
that he won his greatest esteem
of the creat masses of the plain
people. In April, 1882, upon the
death of his predecessor, he was ad
vanced by President Artbur to the
the position of postmaster general.
While serving m this capsicitv it
"Was most largely due to his efforts
that the crusade against the Louis-
mna lotterv was becun. wnicn re-
more satisfactory to his friends.
Being able as he was to trace his
ancestry directly to Revolutionary
stock there is but little room for
the belief other than that had he
been allowed, his own course we
would have experienced a thorough
ly American administration of his
office. Hampered as he was, yet he
secured a recognition of the United
States notably in three incidents
during his latest career, viz: the
San Domingo, Bluefields and Cuban.
Peace to his ashes.
The democratic sound money
convention will have a great in
fluence all over the country and in
the south especially. And of similar
importance is the declaration .of the
Oregon league of republican clubs
in favor of sound money, as it
conies from a Pacific state, supposed
to be for the free silver error.
About 1000 delegates were present
at the Portland convention to elect
a delegation to the national conven
tion at Cleveland, and a resolution
was offered to demaud a free silver
resolution at Cleveland, but it was
tabled "with great enthusiasm."

The supreme court of the United
States has denied the application of
the writ of Eugene V. Debs for a
writ of habeas corpus to prevent
himself and seuen others from going
to prison upon the charge of con
spiracy against the United States
government by reason of the great
railway strike of 1894. On account
of the fact that almost one-third of
the railroads of the country are in
the hands of receivers appointed by
United States courts, the decision
has a wide application, although not
covering a great range. One point
now conclusively settled, is the
sovereignty of the federal govern
ernmeut in question of inter state
transportation. In its finding the
court truthfully says: UA most
earnest and eloquent appeal was
made to us in eulogy of the heroic
spirit of those who threw up their
employment and gave up their
means of earning a livelihood, not
in defense of their own rights, but
in sympathy for and to assist others
whom they believed to have been
wronged. We yield to none in ojr
admiration of any act of heroism or
self-sacrifice, but we may be per
mitted to add that it is a lesson
which cannot be learned too soon,
nor too thoroughly, that under this
government for and by the people
the means of redress of all wrones
is through the courts rind at the
ballot box; and that no wrong, real
or fancied, carries with it legal
warrant to invite as a meaus of re-1
dress the co-operation of
in this countrv. In Julv, 1884, on
account of the death of Secretary
Folger, he was transferred to the
treasury portfolio, which position
he resigned after a few months'
occupancy to accept the appoint
ment of United States judge for the
Seventh judicial district. While
acting in this position he demon
strated his integrity and upright
ness as a just judge, in his decision
ousting the receiver which Jay
Gould had procured his appointment
in order to work out his own Mach
iavelian schemes. In 1888 Rob't
O. lngersoll, the eloquent agnostic
attempted to stampede the republi
can national convention in favor of
Judge Gresham, but the plan failed.
In 1892, so great was the confidence
of the populist party in his integ
rity that he could have had the
empty honor of a nomination at its
hands. Upon the election of Presi
dent Cleveland for a second term he
was selected as secretary of state,
which place he occupied at the time
of his decease.
At one period in his life Walter
Quinton Gresham probably had a
larger personal following than any
citizen of the United States; but his
accepting the position of premier
to the present administration has
caused this feeling to perceptibly
diminish. All the bright luster
which his record as a jurist obtained
was dimmed thereby; for while all
his state papers may have been the
hand of Gresbamyet the voice was
that of Cleveland. " Although tram
melled, as doubtless are the other
members of the cabinet, had Mr.
Gresham been allowed to conduct
affairs in his own way, there is
scarcely doubt but that the admin
istration of his office would have
mob J been more creditable to himself, and

San FRANCisco.MaySO. Only meager
and unsatisfactory advices have been re
ceived regarding the foundering of the
Pacific Mail company's steamer at Man
zanillo, Mex. The officials of the Pa
cifio mail persist in the statement that
they have received no information of
the wreck of the steamer and they have
tried to discredit entirely the statement
of the disaster. Several dispatches have
been received by the Merchant's Ex
change and by private shipping firms,
an connrming tne tale or tne ocean
tragedy, and vary only in tho minute
ness of the information conveyed. Cap
tain Pitts of the steamer San Juan tele
graphed that ho picked up a boat con
taining 19 persons, 1-1 of whom were
passengers and five members of the
crew of the Colima. The rescued boat
load was taken to Manzanillo, and then
tne &an Juan started, out again in
search of other boats of the Colima, the
presumption being that the balance of
the passengers and crew are afloat in
the other boat3.
Those Who"Were Saved.
The occupants of the boats picked up
were as follows: Cabin passengers
Dominco Albano, Xftishincr, Thornton.
aaraoia, itutz. bteerage passengers
John Crew, H. "W. Boyd, Antonio
Rome, R. Rose, S. J. O'Neill, G. Rowan,
Jose A. Salis, L. L. Zancre. Crew O.
Hanson, third officer; A. Carpenter, A.
K. Richardson, storekeeper; Raymond
Aviles and J. Morel.
I The names of Sarabaris and Rutz do
not appear in the steamer's list of pas
sengers sailing from this port, the pre
sumption being that they Joined the
j steamer at Mazatlan. There were two
: Cushings on board, brothers, and a
lady and gentleman, each named
Thornton. No initials of survivors were
given in the "brief telegram.
The latest intelligence regarding the
disaster received here was in cipher
message to a local snipping firm, con
taining the statement of Third Officer
Hansen, who was in charge of the boat
picked up. Hansen related that at about
11:15 Monday night, as the Colima was
about 50 miles from Manzanillo and be
tween there and the port of Punta
St. Almo, an accident occurred
to her machinery. Hansen had no
time to investigate the trouble,
but believed a boiler had burst.
The Colima was put about and began to
Bink rapidly. A scone of wild confusion
ensued. A boat was lowered and moat
of the others swnng, but so far as Han
sen knows tho boat he commanded was
the only one that got clear of the sink
ing ship. She quickly foundered and
to avoid suction Hansen's boat quickly
pulled clear, and, the night being dark,
it was impossible to tell whether the
other boats got away from the ship or
not.
If these boats only got clear away the
calmness of the sea and the low sandy
beach 20 miles distant would enable
them to make a safe landing in a few
hours. As tho passengers -were asleep,
however, Hansen fears that few es
caped. One hundred and sixty passen
gers and crew are still unaccounted for.
The following passengers from San
Francisco landed safely at Mazatlan
before the Colima proceeded toward
Manzanillo: E. "W. McCutsheon. "W.
C. McCutcheon, J M. C. Maxwell, H.
M. A. Miller, L. F. Bell. C. V. Gray.
, R. F. C. Risby.
Many Painful Scenes.
The offices of the Pacific Mail and of
the telegraph companies and newspa
pers are constantly filled with anxious
friends of passengers and crew, making
tearful inquiries about their friends.
Many of the scenes are pitiful in the ex
treme and the most gloomy forebodings
prevailed, despite the assurances of the
officials that the Colima's machinery
was in excellent condition, having been
inspected just previous to her leaving;
that her commanders and officers were
skilled seamen, and that the chances
were in favor of the safety of their
friends.
Among the passengers unaccounted
for are: Professor Harold "Whiting,
Mrs. Whiting, Miss Rose "Whiting and
two children of Berkeley. Professor
"Whiting occupied a chair in the State
university. Another is J. E. Chilberg
of Seattle, who was on his way south in
the interest of Central American coffee
planters in a new steamship line be
tween Central America and Puget sound.
Officials Still In the Dark.
Over36hour3 have passed since the
news of the loss of the Colima on the
Mexican coast was received in this city,
and tho officials of the Pacific Mail com
pany are as much in the dark as ever
with regard to the loss of life. "With
the exception of a brief dispatch from
Manzanillo giving the names of 14 pas
sengers and five members of the crew
who -were picked up by the San Juan,
not a word has been received about the
disaster and the fate of the other 161
persons on the ship is in doubt.
Meager as is the information of the
ship, the officers do not believe the loss
of life was as heavy as reported. This
view of the case is not shared, however,
by the friends and relatives of the pas
sengers and crew. The ship was lost
Monday night and the fact that only
one small boatload of passengers had
been picked up. leads many to Relieve
the vessel went down so rapidly1 the
others did not have an opportunity to
save themselves. In support of their
views of the situation, the officers of the
company assert the Colima was so well
equipped with small boats that it could
hate hardly gone to the bottom quick
enough to prevent all on board from
getting away in safety. General Passen
ger Agent Avery, who has travelled the
route many times, says the ocean in the
vicinity of Manzanillo is as quiet as 'a
mill pond at this time of the year and
the deep water along the coast enables
steamers to make the trip to Panama
in sight of land. At night, he says,
they usually go out a mile or two fur
ther for safety.but even then are within
seven miles of land.
Believes the Passengers Are Safe.
He argues, therefore, that if the Co
lima went down Monday nieht. as re
ported, the accident could hardly have
"been Severe enoncTi tn nrrpnt; thA
small boats being lowered and every -body
getting away in safety. He
thinks the passeneers and crew eot
safely away from the Colima before she
sanic and are now fioatincr about in
boats in a becalmed sea, if, indeed, they
nave not already reached shore. He
said if the boats had reached shore in
safety the news of the event -would
probably not be received hero for a day
or two, from the fact telegraphic offices
on that part of the Mexican coast are
few and the facilities ooor. The wires
are strung along on trees and messages
are oiten delayed for dava. Tn snnnort
of this assertion he cites the fact the
company has been unable to communi
cate with its agent at Manzanillo since
me news or the accident was received.
THE SILVER STANDARD IN MEXICO.

Mr. Romero points out that while other

AcmuuK nations nave tne single gold
Btandard. the silver
encourages very largely the increase
of export of domestic products. The
silver standard also stimulates the de
velopment of home manufactures, the
price of foreign commodities being so
high that it pays well to make some of
them at home.
One great advantage on which Mr.
Romero lays stress is that the low price
of silver abroad makes it unprofitable
to export it. The circulation is there
fore increased, so that there is now an
ample amount of money in the banks,
which stimulates industry, maintains
prices and Increases the demand for
labor. On the other hand he points out
that the silver standard has greatly re
duced importations and that tho import
duties, which until recently were the
largest source of Mexican revenue, are
therefore much diminished.
