A sKiLUtj> inter]>reter is needed to tell
na whether the New York Democracy has
endorsed the administration. It will be
necessary to make the ticket tally with
the resolutions?'"the punishment fit the
crime," so to say.
General Cahr did not desire second ,
place, because he did not wish to interfere
with the success of other aspirants. But 1
th? call having come, he will consent to 1

Tjik Parkeraburg .Slate Jourjial has just ,
celebi ited its sixteenth anniversary. As j
a readable newspaper and a valuable 1
property the Stale Journal shows steady
improvement. It works its home field
well, and this, in any newspaper, is the <
element of moat importance. Its com- 1
nienta on passing e?ente are always pre- ^
s;nteJ with the lazor-^dge op. The Slate
Alitor has fust re- i
tired from the Presidency of the State
Press Ansociation.
In an appeal "To Brewers and Liquor
Men," printed in English and German,
the Cincinnati Erviutrtr remiods iis
readers that "it was a Republican Legislature
that submitted the prohibition
amendment two years ago"; that at the
election "the Republican tickets were
printed with 'Yes' and 'No' on them,
while the Democratic tickets had only the
worvL:: 'Prohibition of Intoxicating
Liquors?No'that "the Democratic
party is and always has been opposed to
prohibition and sumptuary legislation";
and that "the Republican party has
always cultivated the alliance of the ternperanco
extremists."
This year, singularly enough, the cultivation
is in a different direction. The
Democrats and Third Party men are assiduously
cultivating each other, the
Democrats to insure the success of their
ticket, the Third Party men to insure the
defeat of the Republican ticket. Politics
never made stranger bedfellows. Some
Prohibitionists see it and some don't
Democrats understand it and laugh in
their sleeves.

Galvestok, Tax., Sept. 27.?A special
to the Newt frC? Dallas says: A gentleman
who arrived here to-day from the
west reports that in * section of country
between Midland and TOT, at a distance oI
one hundred and twelve' miles and ol
immense width north andsonu'i, one hundred
thousand head o( cattle arc held in
quarantine by the New Mexican syndicate,
who hold public lands in evasion of
the Federal homestead law. Several conllicfe,
involving a loss of six lives, have
taken place within the past two weeks in
the Delaware, Black and Cinnamon regions
of New Mexico, none of which
nave found publicity in the papers.
The stockmen are anxious for an early
frost which will compel the raising of
quarantine against Texas cattle and enable
them to drive to winter quarters in New
Mexico and Arixona, whence they will
drive to the Northwestern Territories in
the spring. Tne suffering cattlemen claim
tho New Mexicans are endeavoring to
[yrce Texts cattle into starvation with a
belief if successful thev can purchase
them ior half their value, wnlle New
Mexican cattle in the meantime will advance
ia price.

Hon. John A. Bingham, ex-Minister to a

"I tried to arrange a treaty of commerce a
between the United States and Japan f<
seven years ago. Tho treaty wu r
drawn up, and it was the v'
only decant commercial treaty s
that had been offered to Japan, bnt be- t

those gunboati lying there? Well, C
by all the pikers those gunboats ?

treaty with the United States of Amerlua tj
until treaties have been first arranged

Thereafter the Foreign Minister called p
upon me with tUa dralt o( the treaty I t
had proposed, but with another clause p
added, providing that (bis treaty shall not c
take etlect unless similar treaties Urp
been entered into with European powers. \
I aiked what the meaning of that was, o
and tho minister, pointing to the iron u
clads, said he was afraid to offend the
European powers. Seven years have

powers who then interfered has proposed fl

baknkhyillk, 0., Sept. '27.?'Tbfs~comnunity
is considerably excited to-day over
ffhat now seems to have been a plan l&id
ind executed to outrago a young girl of
ihis place, the particulars of which, so far
is could be obtained, are as follows:
\.bout ten o'clock last night citizens livug
in tho vicinity o! the Southern Cemstery
were startled by a woman's screams
loming from the cemetery enclosure. Poiceman
James Kenner haatened to the
icene, and as he approached saw a man
Tinning away from the prostrate form of
l woman, who was afterward recognized
is Miss Mary Peeper, a reopectable young
ady of l'J summer**, living with the /amly
of C. M. Cole, the tinuer. When
oond the young woman wai in a pitiable I
londition. Her underclothing was severed
on the ground about her, and ahi
ras raving in a doliriutu. Sao was taken
o the Mayor's office wh*n it was disuovired
that she was made drunk or drugged
tnd brutally assaulted.
Shortly after the police arrested "B*rt"
)amsel charging him with the crime.
L privateinvesiigation into the case by
be officers to-day points to the fact that a
ipgro woman named Aunio Matthews,
1 1 ? .1 {? fa.nilw ?r

ieorge McCelland had played tbe role of
irocuraad fur Damsel. Miss Peepers statd
to toot reporter to-day, that while in
he McCJelland bongo the Matthews woaan
bad given her whisky. Shortly after
iking the whisky her mind became dazed,
nd as she says, she asked the negro wolau
to accompany ber home. Shortly
fter leaving the house, Miss Peeper lost
onsciousne&s and remembers nothing
lat took place afterward. That the girl
as been the victim of an outrage there
eems to be no doubt, and Damsel ac
nowledges that he assaulted her twice
bile with her in the cemetery, but denies
sing force to accomplish hia purpose.
Tiss Peeper ii small in size and not contiered

To Abolish the OlHce of Commission era of

menle of th* Counsel?The Application
of Ulnckley Doiiled.
New York, Sept. 2tf.?The quo warranto
proceedings of Jaiued A. Hinckley against
Dorman B. Eaton, Leroy 1). Thoman and
John M. Gregory, Civil Service Commissioners,
eauio up before Judge Wallace in
the U. S. Circuit Court this morning.
Hinckley asks leave to begin an action to
remove the Commissioners and abolish
the Commission, on the ground of uncon-1
stitutionality. The court room was crowded
with friends and enemies of civil servico
reform. United States District Attorney
Dorsheimer and Dorman B. Eaton
| appeared for the Commissioners, while
Morris S. Miller represent id Mr. Hinckley.
In opening, Mr. Donsheitner said
that the cose was an important one, aad
as all the parties interested were present,
ho thought it should be disposed of. Judge
Wallace decided to hear the motion after
the cali of the regular calendar. - -
Mr. Miller, when Hinckloy's case was
called, demanded to know who wouia appear
xor the d? fendants.
"I appaar for thesa defendant," said
the District Attorney, "aui by direction
of the President of the Uuited States."
Mr. Miller objected to the Uouimicsioners
being represented' by a Government
official, as the United States has
not any real stitus in the case.
Mr. Djniheimer then moved the Court
to decide whether or not the argument
should be coufined to constitutional juris
diction of the Court, lie said he was in- ,
structed to say that be and toe Attorney
General were prepared to dtfend the con- 1
stituuonality of the act appointing the J
Commissioners. Judge Wallace sustained .
the motion.
MR. DORSUEIttEU's ARGUMENT. |
In his argument, Mr. Dorsheimer said: j
"The relator is a citizen who seeks the '
abolishment of the office of Commissioners 1
of Civil Service Reform, because the com- [
mlseionere, by the powers conferred upon j
them, usurped the rik'bts of the President i
to the appointing power. The petitioner *
hasni standing iu court oeeause the right ;
to a quo warranto writ only applies to the
usurpation of eoveruigu rights and the j
United .States aloue could bring such an
action iu the U. S. Courts, and then only 1
through its appointed officers. Neither
had the relator or h>s attorneys been deputized
by the Attorney General to 'recommend
such an action, and the United S ates <
alone had the right to test the consritu- '
tionafjty of the act providing for thu Com- t
mission. The rule, as he stated it. he r^it)v
was fully demonstrated in the case of I
Wallace against Anderson, the question 1
in dispute being as to whicu of the two 1
was entitled to a public office. The writ of <
quo warranto, as applied for by the plain- 1
t\t]\ was denied by the Chief J ustlce of the ?
United States on the ground that the <
United States alone could sno for such a i
writ, and then only through legally ap- t
pointed officers. To bring the action <
properly he maintained, the relator J
should have applied to the Executive and <
to the judicial authority.
WINPSLBV'S COUNSBL.
In reply, Counselor Miller contended on
oenau 01 tnu reiawc xuuc&jey iuav iuh
client bad the statutory right to apply foe
the writ, for the cit'zm created the Conititution,
and my client, as a citizin, has
the right to avail biiLselj to all its benefits,
The District Attorney attempts to smother
the petition, though the relator has the
right to applj for redress either to the executive,
legislative or judical bodies. "The
Attorney Genera)," he said, "is hero representing
the President of the ynited
States, hut I represent his master, a citizen
of the United States. I demand the right
tQ be heard, aud if I am not entitled to a
writ of quo wwanto, then it is the business
of the Court to tind me a remedy, for
my client is entitled to a petition for right.
My argument is almost out cf order, but '
that is caused by tho vigorous and unex- i
pected attack made upon me by the other I
aide, for it was intention to argue the <
whole question at once."
Judge Wallace?It is conceded you havo
the right to petitiou. Confine yourself to
give me authoritiee.
Mr. Miller?-Do! understand your Honor
wants mo to commence my argument all
over again ?
JuJge Wallace?Oh, no. (daughter.)
"The Commission." he continued, "ex- ,
ercised unwarranted go were, and was directly
opp See 1 to the rights of citizens.
Judge Wallace?I can't sit here and
listen to arguments on abstract propositions.
The discussion must be closed.
When you applied for the writ J presumed
there would be some authorities produced,
but you have not submitted any. I think
it is time to close the discussion. Tnere
is only ope esse which could give you a
basis lor your application, and that was an
application in the State Court of Massachusetts,
and was denied. I must also
deny your application.

Chablmtox, W. Va., Sept. 27.?Yesterday,
the second. day's session of the Metho- si
dist Episcopal Conference, opened with
religions exercises conducted by Rev. T.
B. Hughes, Bishop Merrill in the chair.
The meeting was spiritual and full of
interest. Tho session was taken up with
the examination of miaiateral character m
and the routine of disciplinary business. 0j
Two pleauant episodes occurred out of the ?
.ordinary course of business. When the ^
name of L. L. fcStewait, Presiding Eider of F<
the Clarksburg District, was called, Rev. Ti
Mr..Orrarose and said thatthere wassome- je
thing against him, and that in view of the p,
fact that he was just closing his fourth at
year as Presiding Elder of that District, it m
was the deliberate opinion of his preachers
that he ought to De caned, which was m
jdons in open Conference with a cane
made of steel, silver and gold, which were Dr
(indicative of his loyalty, character and H
worth. Rev. Mr. Stewart bore it with Chris- ^
tian fortitude, remarking that the brethren m,
should always be held in grateful remem- a
branco.
When the name of Rev. D. H. K. Dix,
Prtfiding Elder of Morgantown dietric, th
Vas called, Prof. W. R. White, on behalf cj,

Dix is abio closing his term of four years ,
as Presiding Eider of this district.
The Sunday School Anniversary of the ,er
Conference was held at 3 o'clock v. m , I*
Hon.G. VV. Atkinson presiding. Addresses Fa
in behalf of this important branch of ret
Christian work were made by M . Frank ?h.
Woods, of Grafton, and Kev. \V. R. White. we
The meeting was not so well attended as prj
it should have been, and the almost total an,
absence of the children showed that the op|
meeting was not fully understood. ac(
This is the third day of the Conference.
Thesesaion has been most pleasant and ^
harmonious. The attendance has been
unusually large. Bishop Merrill has
greatly endeared himself to all by his /
amiable and genial spirit. The work of r .
the cabinet is about finished. From pres* Lal
snt indications Bev. M. F. Bryden.will go mo
to North Street, Wheeling, and Rev. J O. pan

in the city will be made. Rev. L. L. pov
Stawart goes to Moundsville. The Cou- dec
ference will likely close to-morrow night,
