Now that the Poor House matter is settled will it not be well for the people to turn their attention to the question of honest and decent State government, lest they find themselves all in an alms house with Quay dispensing their rations. Since no opposition is announced against Mr. Showalter for the Jontrres sion;tl nomination he has again consent ed to talk for the benefit of Quay, and takes up the note favorable to Quay men for Governor. It is surprising how great men can talk when Quay mesmerizes them. They have no experience in self-gov ernment by the people—that inalienable right which John Adams and Thos. Jefferson alluded to in the Declaration of Independence. But old chaps like them could not fish and legislate and appoint Post Masters at Cross Roads at the same tame: and their sayings have passed into oblivion before the march of the modern practical politics of Quay and his school of statesmen. But we have a legislature to choose and if they are to represent us let us know where they stand. If they are to represent Quay why not dispense with the unnecessary expense of an election and let Quay appoint them. Ask them these questions. Ist, Are you in favor of the reelection of M. S. Quay to the U. S. Senate; 2nd, Are you in favor of reckless ap propriations and padded pay rolls? Brd, Are you in favor of the creation of expensive and fraudulent investigating committees, to travel over the State for the sole purpose of reforming Quays political opponents, and encourag ing more reckless and shameful acts among his supporters? 4th, Are you in favor of bleeding cor porations for large sums of cash and using it to control primary elections in the interest of one man or any set of men? sth, Are you in favor of the Legisla ture acting in the interest of the people or should they first consult Quay ? 6th, Are you in favor of the Legisla ture passing bills to pay the Lexow Committee, and large sums for extras in thp hnildinsr of the new State o*ni -7th, Should the Legislature pass ap portionment bills as commanded bv the Constitution or must they adjourn and waste time and consult Quay in Flor ida? Bth, Do you want real reform or do you favor Quay's kind of Sham reform? And last but not least—The candi dates for Delegates should also be made to uncover themselves for if they are not right they will be very useful to Quay in adopting a platform that means . nothing.

Lieutenant Blanilin of the Mains give# the following account of the loss of the ship to a reporter: "1 was on watch and When the men had been piped below I looked down the main hatches and over the side of the ship. Everything was absolutely normal. I walked aft to the quarter deck behind the rear turret, as is allow ed after 8 o'clock in the evening, and sat down on the port side, where 1 re mained for a "few minutes Then, for some reason, I cannot explain to my self now. I moved to the starboard side and sat down there. I was feeling a bit glum, and in fact, was so quiet that Lieut. J. Hood came up and asked laughingly if I was asleep. I said, 'No I am on watch.' Scarcely had I spoken when there came a dull, sullen roar. Would to God that I could blot out the sound and the scenes that followed. Them came a sharp explosion—some say numerous detonations. I remember only one. It seemed to me that the sound came from the Port side forward. Then <?ame a perfect rain of missiles of all de scription, from huge pieces of cement Ito blocks of wood, steel railings, fr a J? inentß of gratings, and all the debris that would be detachable in any explos ion. "I was struck on the head by a piece of cement and knocked down, but I was not hurt, and got on my feet in a ino ment. Lieut. Hood had run to the poop and I supposed, as I followed, he was dazed by the shock and about to jump overboard. I hailed him and he an swered that he h«d run to the poop to help lower the boats. When I got there though scarce a minute could Lave elapsed, I had to wade in water to my knees and almost instantly the quarter deck was awash. , "On the poop I found Capt. as cool as if at a ball, and goon all the officers except Jenkins and Murntt. joined us. The poop was above water after the Maine settled to the Capt. Sigsbee ordered the launch ana gig lowered, and the officers Bnd men. wbo by this time had assembled, got the boats out and rescued a number in the water Capt. Sigsbee ordered Lieut Commander Wainwright forward to see the extent of the damage, and if any thing could be done to rescue those for ward or to extinguish the flames, which followed close upon the explosion and burned fiercely at long as there er ® any combustibles above water to feed them. . ... "Lieut. Commander W*)Qwngbt on his return reported the total and awful character of the calamity, and Capt Sigsbee gave the last sad order, Aband on ship.' to men overwhelmed with grief,indeed, but calm and apparently unexcited. "Meantime, four boata from the Spanish cruiser Alfonos XII. arrived, to be followed soon by two from the Ward line steamer City of Washington. The two boats lowered from the City of Washington were found to be riddled with flying-debris from the Maine and unfit for use. Capt. Sigsbee was the last man to leave the vessel and le.t it in his own gig. - " "I have no theories as to the cause of the explosion. I cannot form any. An examination by divers may tell some thing to a court of InqniiT- I. with others, had heard that the Havana bar bor was full of torpedoes, but officers whose duty it was to examine into that reported that they found no signs of any. Personally, Ido not bolieve the Spanish had anything to do with the disaster. Time may tell. I hope #o. "We were in a delicate position on the Maine so far as taking any precau tions was concerned. We were friends in a friendly, or alleged friendly port, and could not fire upon or challenge the approach of any boat boarding us unless convinced that her intention was hos tile. "I wish to heaven I could forget it. I have been in two wrpcks now. and have had my share. But the reverbera tions of that sullen, yet resonant roar, as if the bottom of the sea were groan ing in torture, will haunt me for many a day, and the reflection of that pillar of flame comes to me even when I close my eyes." TORPEDOES IN THE HARBOR. Chas. Doll, an employe of the Brush Electric Light Company, tells an inter esting story which sheds some new light on the story of the probable cause of the Maine disaster. Pp)l nati, and was a sailor in the United States navy for several years. He has served on a number of high-class cruis ers and was mustered out of the service a little over a year ago while he was on the cruiser Raleigh at Rio Janero. "While the Raleigh was in Havana harbor in 1894 or 1895, during the be gining of the Cnban revolution," he said, "I saw several things to open my eyes. At that time there was no en mity expressed by Spaniards against the United States, and we frequently had leave. With one of my mates I one day succeeded in gathering admiss ion to Moro castle. There I saw a numberer electric key-board, and was told without any visible effort at con cealment that it was arranged so that any submerged torpedo in any spot in Havana harbor could be exploded by simply touching the button. There were scores of buttons on the keyboard, and every officer of the Raleigh knew that the whole harbor was plated with torpedoes. CAPT. SIUSBEE'S ACCOUNT, "On the night of the explosion," said Captain Sigsbee, "I had not retired. I was writing letters. I find it impos sible to describe the sound or shock, but the impression remains of some thing awe-inspiring, 'terrifying, of noise ending vibrating, all pervading. There is nothing in the former experience of any one on board to measure the explos ion by. "After the first great shock —I can not myself recall how many sharfler de tonations I heard, not more than two or three—l knew my ship was gone. In such a structure as the Maine of such an explosion are not for a mo ment in doubt. "I made my way through the long passage in the dark, groping from side to side, to the hatchway and thence to the poop, being among the earliest to reach that spot. So soon as I recogniz ed the officers 1 ordered the high ex plosives to be flooded and then I direct ed that the boats available be lowered to rescue the wounded or drowning. "Discipline in a perfect measure pre vailed. There was no more confusion than a call together at quarters would produce, not as much. "I soon saw,by the light of the flames, that all my officers and crew left alive and on board surrounded me. * I cannot form any idea of the time I reached the i>oop until I left, the last man it was possible to reach having been saved. It must have been three quarters of an hour or more however, from the amount of work done. "I remember the officers and men worked together lowering the boats, and that the gig took some time to low er, I did not notice the rain of debris described bv Lieutenant Blandin or others who were on deck at the time of the first explosion, but I did observe the explosion of the fixed amunition. and wonder that more men were not hurt thereby. "Without going beyond the limits of what was proper in the harbor of a friendly power, I always maintain pre cautions against attack, and the quar ter watch was ordered to have ammuni tion for the smaller guns ready to hand so that in the improbable event of an at tack on the ship it would have been found ready. It was this ammunition which exploded as the beat reached it." Fnirvicw Facts. The two week's revival in the M. E. Churh, conducted by Rev. Dunkle, wound up iast week, with an earnest effort to revive souls. The Presbyterians started their pro tracted meetings last Sunday evening, conducted by Rev. W. L.

Mrs. Wilson had retired for the night, and the squire was down town, quietly sitting in his office when one of the gentlemtn disturbed his serenity by informing him that he was urgently wanted at his home. To say he was sur prised would be putting it mild and as the Squire verv aptly put it in a few well chosen words of welcome, that he was almost speechless with surprise and pleasure, and it must be a very great surprise indeed which con id deprive him of speech, which was responded to by Mr. J. E. Muder. Jr. and Prof E E Graham. Mr. Muder said the party was for the purpose of shewing the high esteem and honor with which Mr. Wilson and family are held by their friends and neighbors.
