The lied Lake Iodiaua reservation in
Mia'.esota will soon be opened to settle
ment. Reitrucass still insist that the Dem
ocratic party is "a party of ruin," and
to substantiate the assertion, print the
names of two or three firms that have
lately failed. Dun's reports do not show
any increase in failures over the period
when Republicans had full power. And
Republicans themselves refuse to change
the existing tariff law.
Col. Stump of the treasury emigra
tion bureau, at Washington, says the
tide of immigration has again begun to
How from Europe to this country in con
siderable volume. Immigration slack
ed up during the winter months, but
the prospects are now that the number
of immigrants that will come this spring
will eua:, if not exceed, the statistics
of the previous year.
The American schooner William
Todd, from Mobile, Ala., was fired upon
by two Spanish gunboats, six miles off
the I--le of Pines. Fjur solid shot
crossed the schooner's bows after the
schooner hoisted the United States col
ors. The vessel was boarded and
searched by an arm red boat's crew.
Nothing of a contraband character re
warded the searching party.
A c hange in the course of the Mis
souri River has resulted in the shifting
of the State boundary line between Mis
souri and Nebraska, and there is a pros
pect of active hostilities between the two
states. The peace societies ought to in
tervene. It would be awkward to have
a second Schomburgk affair at our doors
while the first is still pendent some
where in the clouds of diplomacy.
The novel feat of moving a house
from one town to another on a Hatboat
was accomplished in Oregon a few days
ago. The house was originally built in
Wes-t Florence, but the owner decided to
move to Acme, three miles up the river,
The house was jacked up in the usual
way and moved about five hundred
yards to the river bank and then down a
st ep incline aboird a big scow. The
scow was then towed by a tug to Acme
and the house safely landed aud hauled
to its new location.
Hy a late act of congress no pensions
will be paid by the rension agencies
All will be paid by check sent by mail
The law was passed beca .se in the largi
cities in which the agencies are located
large numbers of pensioners would go
in person, and would wait two or three
days sometimes for their money, and
the entire office force would be com
pelled to wait upon them, fill up and
execute. Hereafter those in the cities
will receive their checks by mail and
will have no advantage oyer those liv
ing away from the agents.
A msiatih from Williamsport Pa
on Monday says: The big ice jam in
the frusquehanna River at Farrands
ville has broken, and the logs are com
ing into the boom there on a 14-foot
flood. At Lock Haven the surface of
the stream was covered with logs from
bank to bank. The boom baa been
strengthened for packing. It is expect
ed that the 2UO,000,000 feet of logs in
the woods will all get in on this freshet
The sawmills will begin cutting nex
week. Three hundred men began on
the log drives on Sunday.

to
give details as to who would be bene-

X. C. Schafker, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, believes that the
compulsory school law will disclose the
causes which keeps children from school,
if it does nothing else. He says: "The
day for arguing whether we should have
a compulsory act or not ist gone. It is
simply a question whether the act as
passed by the last legislature shall be
enforced. I have no apology to make
for endeavoring to carry out the law
which it is my sworn duty to enforce.
If the law is a bad one, the best way to
secure its repeal is to enforce it. If the
law is a good one, of course, it should
be enforced. If it cannot be enforced,
let us find out the reason why. If any
of its provisions are inadequate or un
wise let it be amended. Perhaps the
mere attempt to enforce it will bring to
light the causes which now keep child
ren out of Bchool."
Mr. Harbison, says the HarrUburg
Patriot, is reported to have said there is
a difference bttween volunteering and
being drafted, which means that Mr.
Harrison volunteers to put himself in
the hinds f his frieodo. It is not at
all impossible that Benjamiu wonlil
make an available dark horse for the St.
Louis convention. He is in every way
abler than MiKiuley, who lads the
whole field of horses, dark and other
wise, but who is weak on the financial
question. And yet it would not be
right to draft Harrison for service in the
White House, filled as it is with sad
memories. A man who ha? suffered
pain should be spared a wanton reten
tion of it.
Mr. McKinley is still in the button
making business, which enables his
friends to buttonhole very many waver
ing patriots. Mark Hanna, who is in
charge of the McKinley band wagon,
says there has beeo no fat frying, but it
is notorious that he is conducting a tin
campaign. The major knows how to
make the most of his opportunities and
it is even said that he has made for of
fice a protected industry, and collects
the tariff on it from his friends who for
purely patriotic motives and, more tariff
would like to see him in the White
House.
Reed is still wrapped in impenetrabil
ity and disgust He was the hurrah
candidate of the Republican party a year
aqro. He was the man of the hour, the
man to forever stop the breach in Re
publican success, and now while he does
nothing but fill breeches other fellows
stand in the shoes he wore then. He is
impenetrable and inscrutable. His im
pressive countenanca never betrays to
anybody whether he is cussing the other
candidates or blowinc up the Republi
can party. At last he is helping to low
er the party in the opinion of the peo
ple. And it could do that without his
help. He has lost the hurrah; he will
let the rest of the crowd lose the elec
tion. Morton is on the high road to suc
cess, but unfortunately for him the oth
er fellows are using the passes. If St-
Louis were an abbatoir it could not be
guessed what sort of an animal Levi
would be. They are making him sweat
blood now and they'll finish him at the
convention.' Piatt knows where Mor
ton is but Morton knows less of Piatt's
position than any other job he ever
worked.
As for vjuay, there is some dubious
ness. There is no tariff to be saved.
The accumulation and storing and
hoarding of tariff Is precarious anyway.
So is Quay's presidential health. He
will have delegates but the other fellows
will have delegations. He is a great po
litical geueral, but a general without an
army always occupies a mental and vis
ual St. Helena. He might make a di
version but he will hardly make the
nomination. The nation he will proba
b ly get has a different LfginniDg.
The recent statement of Lord Salis
bury gives the impression that the Brit
ish government in the adjustment of
the Venezuelan dispute has submitted to
our government plans for a permanent
arbitration tribunal which will adjudi
date all disputes that may arise between
the two countries. It is believed that
out of this may come not only a settle
ment of the Venezuela boundary, but a
lasting method of preserving friendly
relations between the two powers. The
administration has now under consid
eration the British proposals. As bear
ing on this it is to be stated that a na
tional conference is to be held at Wash
ington on the 22d of April in the inter
est of a permanent system of arbitration
between this country and Great Britain
Among the signers of the call are the
chief justice of the United States su
preme court, General Miles, the com
mander of the army : Cardinal Gibbons,
and many others distinguished in every
walk of life. It is proposed that the
conference shall contain representatives
of every state and territory in the Union,
irrespective of party and creed, the com
bined membership of the two houses of
congress being taken as a general basis
of numbers and apportionment.
Senator Cha.vdi.er protests with the
alarm of an expert against the corrupt
ing use of money to promote the Mc
Kinley candidacy, says the New York
Evening Post. The most appalling thing
about it to him is, that the Mc
Kinley managers have "invaded Sen
ator Quay '8 state," with demands that
the Pennsylvania manufacturers give
their money, not to their natuaal suzer
ain, Quay, but to the man who made
hem rich by his Uriff " bill of 1S90
Pointing out the fact that McKinley
himself has no money, Chandler wants
to know where all the money is coming
from that is now "corrupting state and
district conventions" in his interest, and
asks, with the pain of an old fashioned
patriot, whether "our next president is
to be controlled and dictated to by Mr.
Hanna and a set of associated who have
established their domination over a pres
ident by the money they have furnished
for him and his uses.
A canvass of every state and territory
on Republican presidential preferences by
correspondents of the New York Herald
shows,that on the first ballot McKinley will
poll more than double the vote of any
other candidate and that he will fall on
ly 62 votes short of the nomination.
As nearly as it is now possible to make
a forecast of the situation, the outcome
of the St. Louis convention is still un
certain, and it is possible that, after all,
a struggle will be precipitated which will
result in the selection of some candi
date whose name does not now appear
on the list. The total number of dele
gates will be W., and 445 will be re
quired to nominate. McKinley will
probably go into the convention with
303 votes on the first ballot. Reed will
be second in point of strength, with 152
votes, including solid New England,
Morton will stand third, with C9, and
Allison will have only 38.

An open confession of the inability of
the Republicans to legis-Iate is contained
in Senat r Piatt's resolution providing
for the Hdjt-Hirnment of rong'-es on Mi
2, and Mr. Pi nt el indies the confession
by snyicig of his resolution: "ft is er-fev-tly
ciear th:it tn-r.' wid bo i o i-npor

'ipproprnt'.on bills, and I see no reason
for remaining here merely for the pur
pose of introdU'-int; anil talkinsr upon

that the country would be better satisfied
to have us at home than t
have us here " If luu isn't humil

controls both branches of congress
and which made t-uch wonderful prom

The Reed and McKinley Republicans
are now at daggers points, so 1 1 sjeak,
and they are growing more bitter to
wards each other every day. Each ile
is charging the other with being guilty
of all sorts of disgraeekil tactics. The
McKinley men are charged with frying
the fat out of the ni tnufacfurers in order
to buy delegates, and tlie Reed men are
charged wit'i every species of duplicity
in connection with the favorite son
scheme, the latest being that they orig
inated the story of a combine to nomin
ate Harrison so as to prevent the India
na delegates committing themselves to
McKinley. The average Democrat re
gard's it merely as another case of "the
pot calling the kettle black, and feels
likesiiouting "go it Mac'" "go it Tom!"
and enjoying the fight all the way
through without caring a continental j
how it ends.
Boutelle, of Me., had another attack
of contrariness this week which resulted
in a considerable exposure of ears as he
stood up and brayed against the purely
sentimental bill for the repeal of the
law prohibi inn confederal officers who
held commissions in the L S. army
previous to the war being commissioned
again therein. Kverybody admitted
that the bill, which unanimously passed
the senate Christmas eve, was merely
an evidence of cordiality towards the ex-
confederates, and that there is not even
a probability that any ex-confederate
will thereby become an officer in the U
S. army, except in the very improbable
event of an early foreign war. But Bou-
telle would not see it that way. He
ranted against it for the greater part of
oce session of the house, ami finally
cast the only vote that was recorded
against the bill in either branch of con
gress, liouteue s constituent must be
different from other men if thev are not
heartily ashamed of him and his antic
Although there is little expectation
that the bill will be acted upon at this
session, even if repor ed, a joint sufieom-
mittee composed of three member of
the house and three of the Senate Paci
fic Railroads Committee has been select
ed to see if it is possible for both com
mittees to agree upon one bill dealing
with the indebtedness of the Pacific
railroads to the government
It looks like the Cuban business was
ended so far as congress is concerned
But to many who did not catch the
drift when the senate sent the Cuban
resolutions back to conference things
did not look promising. But they soon
saw that the conference had only to
agree to the original senate resolutions
and the house to do likewise to end the
affair.

Saturday night a masked man en- I
tered the farmhouse of Alvin M Stone,
near Talimadge, a few miles from this
city, and in the brief spice of half an
hour committed a horrible butchery.
When he took his departure Stone and
his wife, both aged people, were lying
dead iu bed, horribly mutilated, and Ira
Stillson, the hired man, and Emma
Stone, the eldi-st of three daughters,
were unconc-ious from blows dealt by
the murderer.
The murderer entered the houses by
means of a ladder, which he raised to
au upstairs window. Going quietly
downstairs to the room in which Mr.
aud Mrs S;one slept he attacked them
with a blunt weapon of some sort, hit
ting both upon the head, The fiend
then cut off oue of Stone's ears, plashed
him across the face and stabbed him in
the back. Then he laid Mrs Stone's
cheek open with a knife.
After satisfying his fiendish desires
downstairs he proceeded to the room of
Stillson upstairs The hired man heard
the intruder, apparently, for he had
arisen, when he was dealt a stunning
blow on the head. Next the murderer
turned his attention to Emma Stone,
who slept in a room bv herself. When
he entered her room she screamed.

Throwing a bed quilt about her she leap

The murderer returned to Emma's
room and struck her on the head, leav

door to the room iu which Hattie had

jumped from the window. Finding the
door locked he battered it down, finding
only Flora iu the room. He asked Flo

Another Chance tor Pettctires.
May's landing, N. J., March 27.
What seems to be a brutal murder was
brought to light this morning. A man
known familiarly as "Spikey" Joues,
while goiug through the woods near
Hstelvilie, two miles from here, found a
tree felled on his path and beneath it
the earth was disturbed aud heaied up
iu a iecu!iar manner. His curiosity be
came excited and he began digging be
neath the mound. Alter removing a
iew inches he was horrified by bringing
to light a naked foot. He breathlessly
ran back tothis place and informed Sher
iff Johnson. The latter visited the spot
and together they exhumed the body of
i woman, which was identified as that
of Mrs John Rech, who resided in a
small house alout 200 feet distant frorn
the grave. The body was dressed in
night clothes and was wrapped in two
old sacks. There was a handkerchief
lightly wound about the neck, and.there
was every indication that the woman
o.td tK-en strangled to death. A hasty
examination led Sheriff Johnson to be
lieve that she had been buried while yet
breathing.
Tiie woman's husband ha3 disappeared
and it is learned that he left for Phila
delphia jesterday with his little daugh
ter. Mrs. Rech was last seen alive last
Sunday. Any motive for the supposed
crime cannot be surmised. An inquest
will be held to morrow.

Then the executioner undertook to
