"The IndeHpRf Party The Independent Party of this Sena­ torial District is trying to capture the Democracy, and the consequence is * lively little skirmish is just now going on. The following special despatch from Llbertyvllle to the Chicago Tribune, under date of the 14th, ex plains itself: At 2 o'clock to-day while W. B. Wer den, Chairman of the Democrat!* County Central Committee, stood at t III tie table in the hall here prepare tory to calling the county conventtoi to order, Daniel Brewer stepped u| and began rapping on the table and «aid that as a member of the Central Coiumit'ee he would sail the convert tion to order. InSrantly there waS ar. upro r. Werden finally managed to make himself heard and said that lie would cail the convention to order, and in the midst of the contusion he read the call of the convention anil asked what was the will of the delagatfs. Elijah Haines moved that Daniel Brewer act as Chairman of the conven Hon and Mr. Cl«rk nominated W. B Werden as Chairman. Both motion? were put by the respective movers, and both Chairman were declared elec ted. Two sets of names were announc ed as the ,Committee on Credential*, and the pandemonium waxed louder and hotter. The Haines Committee on Credentials made a report WMICII Brewer declared was adapted. Several other motions were declared carried, though no one in the house could pos­ sibly have heard or understood them. In the tnidst of the babel Ha'nes mov­ ed to adjourn and Brewer declared the inotioti carried. Haines and his crowd then walked out. It was afterwards ascertained that this faction had .'de- flared "readv made** delegations elec­ ted to the Sta'e Senatorial and C >n- gressional Conventions. Meantime the ther Committee on Credentials had been busy, and. order being restored, t was ascertained that. Haines had t - ken away with him his seventeen Wnukegan contesting delegates, one Benton delegate, a partial d^leira'ioit rom Newport, the Antioch delegation and possibly one or two other dele­ gates. The democracy might say to the Independent Party" Of this District as did the darky to the hog, "go 'way ••r, yns« doln' mischief.* I®"At Washington Sunday Will;am Pope, a negro, shot four times at Gen­ eral Cbristopner C. Augur, a retired U.S.officer. The General had ordered Pope to leave bis premises, and when the ruffian persisted lo holding his ground the officer struck at him with * cane. The negro then fired. The #ounds are not thought to be fatal. J^And now the courts have decid­ ed that boycotting is a conspiracy to injur* a man's business, and that it be­ comes just as much a crime as a con­ spiracy to destroy his property. A whole lodge of Knights of Labor In Cincinnati have been Indicted for this offense, and their trial will fix the re­ sponsibility of each member. Boy­ cotting will not be so funny a matter it the ooj-coiters hare to pay for the damage they do. Forest Area were raging early fl the week In northern Wisconsin along the line of the Wisconsin Cen­ tral Railroad for a distance of 100 miles. Hundreds of men haye been fighting them to save towns and vil­ lages in tbelr course. The destruction of Spencer Is ful.'y confirmed.

President Cleveland has earned this title, as the subjoined record will sho^v He killed the surplus resolution by re fusing his signature. This Is one ira port in t measure which the president has killed. He did not veto the river and harbor bill, though it I«full of faults which will be effectively ex­ posed in the coming campaign. He did veto six bills for public buildings, at Dayton and Ztlnosville O : Sioux City, U.; Duluth, Minn.; Springfield, Mo.; aud Ashvllle, N. C. He killed by veto the bill to quiet title to settlers on the Des Moines River, which was passed bv (he senate over the veto, but failed in the hou<e. He killed bv vetoes bills to grant railways r gfit ot way through the Indian reservation in Moctania. to make Springfield Mass , a port of delivery, to turn over bodies oi paupers and criminals in the district to medical colleges, and to provide for a bridge over Lake Champlain. He vetoed these five bills, and six pub­ lic building bills, and he also killed by veto 102 bills granting pensions for services to the union. Only one of these private pension bills was passed over bis veto. President Clevelaid has vetoed 113 bills in eight month. President Grant vetoed 28 in eight years; Lincoln vetoed one, Hayes 12 and Arthur 4; Andrew Johoson vetoed 17, and all the presidents prior to Lincoln had vetoed only 46 bills. In all 108 bills had been vetoed since the foundation of the government when President Cleve­ land was inaugurated, and he alone has vetoed 113, He has killed nine bill* by refusing his signature after con­ gress adjourned, but allowed 157 to become laws without bis si nat ire. Ii would have been be'tter for his reputa tlen if he had vetoed the river aud iiarbor bill, and less than twenty others. A few of the pension bills were really objections tie, but all of them together would not have taken from the treasury as much money as has been granted by each of the many dishonest clauses In the river and harbor bill. Reaping tha Whirlwind. "Oh. sir, for the love of ileaven take ray husband back again. He meant no harm when he struck, and he Is almost out of his mind now when he thinks that he was led away Into doing it, for he had no feelings but oontent when the strike was ordered, and he never lifted his hand against the road wheu the strike was on, but stayed at home peaceable. We have four children, and what will become of us if you don*t take John back God knows. We bave been <»adly punished already for what was done, and if you wlli take him back you will never find a more (ait'iful man to you through thick and thin." A correspondent of the New Tork Sun has just gone over the ground of the Gould strike on the Missouri Paoiflc Railroad, ind the above is a specimen of the heart breaking letters which the Superintendent of that road is con­ stantly receiving from the wives of discharged strikers. Unfortunately, in order to take back strikers, the com­ pany would have to discharge nen who stood by them and filled the vacant placesat the risk of their lives and ra*ny of whom were serfously injured *iy the strikeis. This is a sad'eondition Of affairs, and particularly so. In that women and children are the principal sufferers; but it is the necessary out- come of violence and lawlessness, and will be repeated in "a degree wherever strikes and boycotts and riots leave their path of destruction. Three Reasons, *'I once met a thoughffu1 scholar.* says Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, •who told me that for jears he had read every book he could-which assail­ ed the religion ot Jesus Christ, and he said lie should have become an infidel but for three things: 'First. 1 am a man. I am going somewhere. To-night I am a day nearer the grave than I was last night. I have read all such books can tell me. They shed not one soli­ tary ray of hone or light upon the darkness. They shall not take away the gui 'e and leave me stoue-blind Second. 1 had a mother. I saw her go down into the dark valley where I am going, and she looked upon an unseen Arm as calmly as a child goes rosleep on the breast of its mother, I know that was not a dream. Third. 1 have three motherless daughters (and he said it with tears in his eyes). They have no protecter but myself. I would rather kill them than leave them in this sinful world if yoa blot out from it all the teachings of the Gospel."' Chancery Notice* STATE OF ILLINOIS, McHenry Count*.

OLD SETTLERS' MEKTIN6 New Submarine War Vessels. The third of the five electrical tor­ pedoes which are being buitt for t e United States Government aft the Edison Machine Work* has been finished. These torpedoes are subma rioe vessels, consist.ng ot a cigar shaped bull--the torpedo proper-- forty Are leet long and.about two feet in diameter at the widest part, at­ tached by upright steel stanchions to a copper float, which rises some bix • nches above the surface of the water This bull is made lo i »ur sections, the foremost of which contains the ex- plo«lve and the hiudinost the steering apparatus. The operator from his station on shore or on shipboard can at will start, stop or steer the <ianger- ous craft and explode the charge, which can also be arranged to explode by contact if desired; and he receives notice when the bull meets with any obstiuctlon, thus making sure of the proper moment for explosion. The torpedo weighs all told from 3,000 to 5,000 pounds, according to the distance to be overcome, but no single part or section weighs more than 800 pounds. Fifteen minutes is all the time re­ quired to take It apart or put It together again. It will run ten minutes at the rate of ten and one half miles an hour, and It Is claimed that It oan .demolish any man-of-war afloat. The torpedos cost the Government. It is said, $5,000 apiece.
