SATURDAY EVENING, NOv75 1881.
Already Answered by Events.
Tlic Philadelphia Press asks Mr.
"Wolfe te answer, at the Philadelphia
meeting te-uiglit, a string of questions
which all are condensable into one, and
that is, whether, granting all Wolfe's al
legations te be true, he is justified as a
Republican in opposing the regular
ticket when the result is likely te elect
the Democratic nominee. It is the ques
tion which has been sticking in the
threat of the Press all along, and the
only one it sees ; being itself, according
te its published utterances, as strongly
disposed te condemn the things in its
party that "Wolfe condemns as he is him
silf. Its difference with "him is en the
question of expediency. It docs net
think the honest, straightforward course
of opposition te the death te wrong
iu its party te be the proper
one, but considers it the part of wisdom
te submit for a time, in the hope of re
dressing its grievances iu the future
within the party lines. It is the ordi
nary idea of the ordinary politician ;
and its wisdom depends entirely upon
the gravity of the occasion which excites
te rebellion. If the wrong justifies it,
then the honest and best policy is te
boldly seek redress before the people, as
"Wolfe is doing.
Either by superior sagacity or superior
luck, no doubt new exists as te his hav
ing taken the right course in making his
rebellion. It is quite certain newthat
he will be se strongly supported in it, by
the voters of his party, as te make him
an independent power iu the state,
able te dictate his terms te his party.
He will be tee strong for it te live with
out ; and he assumes at once a position
of command in its councils. His success
in leading an army f voters behind his
single battle flag is a sullicient answer te
the query or the Vtw as te whether he
was justified in deingas he did. Jicsatis
licd a demand of his party associates ; they
sustain him in his action ; he has estab
lished a Wolfe parly, and with it takes
away the dominance ever state politics
which, but for it, would have fallen
again te the men who have for se many
years exercised it. He lias shown these
men that he is net of the submissive
kind, and that he has a strong party be
hind him tesustainhim. Heassumcsthe
position of master instead of that of
slave ; a total reversal of the situation
prevailing for years and which bid fair
te continue for years mere under such
pusillanimous leadership as that of the
J'ress. AVelfe has been a revelation te
the politicians, and whether from geed
judgment or geed luck, his bold shaft
mis shuck inc ecnire. rue j'rr.s man
might have been with him te share the
glory which new crowns him alone, and
which the success that rewards his au
dacity brings him.
Te question AVelfe at this period of his
canvass as te his justification for a re
volt, which is shown te be a revolt of
the Republican voters, is simply silly.
Xe doubt it would be agreeable te the
editor of the Vcw te have Mr. Wolfe
occupy himself with ether things iu his
speech te-night than the reading of
Vew editorials in answer te Smith ora
tions. And it is ingenious enough, in this
view, te seek te transfer the controversy
from the truth of the charges against the
Republican bosses te the question of the
expediency of resisting them outside the
party lines. 15ut it is quite tee late te
raise that question, when it is already
demonstrated that the parly lines are
knocked into a cocked hat. Se many
Republicans are with AVelfe that it is
difficult ie sec en which side of
the worm fence of division lies
t'.ie biggest part of the party.
.Successful rebellion is revolution :
and Wolfe's rebellion is certainly sue
cessful in its demonstration of the large
number of iullucntial Republican voters
who fellow his banner ; a demonstration
the mere striking and significant from
the fact that his following is the speu.
ianeeus impulse of the individual voter,
defying the restraining hand of the pol
iticians who laughed te scorn the un
dertaking at its outset, and can scarcely
realize te-day that it is destined te scat-
entertaining in the violent gymnastic
endeavors te keep en both sides the
fence ; and they vault ever and back se
quickly that they are harder te put your
finger en than an Irishman's Ilea. An
esl is net comparable te them in slip-periness.
' Rl-mcmjskk, lcnjeraber, the fifth of
November." Twe hundred and seventy-six
years age this morning, Guy Fawkcs and
his brother conspirators expected te
blew up tlie houses of Parliament in Lou Leu Lou
eon. Rut they didn't.
Reautiki, i. or otherwise, .snow is rap
idly making its appearance iu various
sections, New Hampshire leading off with
a live-inch fall ; Sullivan county, Xew

state, at Munch Chuuk, modestly exhibi

for a hcginning.tlieugh it slightly cenllicts

Tin; Indiana Messenger accuses Harry
AVhite of writing anonymous letters te a
rival paper a.ssailiug tlie editor of the
Messenger. It then assures the excon excen
gressman that it kind e' likes the thing
and urges him te continue the matter,
unkindly suggesting that as he is net
busy preparing te go te AVashingten he
has plenty of time for this sort of literary
effort.
Viuoneis pretests are coming from Iowa
and ether points at the AVcst, against that
form of New Yerk city philanthropy which
picks up street waifs (or "gamins") and
switches them eiF te the country, en the
assumption that, if adopted into private
families, they will grew up there useful
and respectable members of society. The
remenstrants say that, thus far, the ar ar
Kiimptien has net been suppeited by satis
factory proofs.
Wui.x Cen. Arthur was collector of the
pert or New Yerk, Smith, collector of Chi
cago, was one of the most cfl'eetual wit
nesses against his mode of managing the
custom heife, and when the former was

ultation, was imprudent enough te beast
that ''he had obtained Arthur's scalp."

A ncer Set or Editors.
The Yerk ItrpitbUmn is decidedjy re
markablc in its idea of its duty as a
party organ. It considers that te be fully
complied with when it prints the regular
Republican ticket at the head of its edi
torial columns : which it does with ac
curacy from Raily down ; and it don't
let AVelfe's name appear in big type in
the same locality ,as the Independent Re
publican candidate, after the fashion of
the Lancaster Xac Em, which is se ob
jectionable te the Ecunrincr.
Hut when it conies te the expression of
opinion in the editorial celumns.the Rich
ard of the Yerk Itqntblicun is himself
again, and the way in which he denounces
Raily and the regulars and applauds
AVelfe and the Independents must make
each individual hair en the heads of his
Stalwart Republican readersstand en end.
" Vete for Charles S. AVelfe," he says:
' he is honest, brave and cempelent,and
one of tiie purest and best Repub'icatis
in thestatc beside." " A vote for Raily
is n vote for one of the slaves of the ma
chine ' and " for that element
of the Republican party which
is indirectly the cause of the
cowardly assassination of President Gar
'"f&d ;" and there are volumes of that
kind of talk in this paper Hying Bail "s
name at its mast-head. It is a maniacal
sort of exhibition which, in various de
grees, divers Republican editors are
exhibiting. The JVcic Era of our town
displays its idiosyncrasy by publishing
both candidates' names, and reasons why
both should be elected te fill the one of
fice. The V. of Philadelphia
prints neither candidate's name,
but publishes things which should
make it support Wolfe ; while its
editor keeps the account square by
making tierce speeches in the rural
districts for Raily. A

A Fcmale Murderer.
An extraordinary murder case is new in
progress at Arkadclphia. The defendants
are Miss Sarah Stokes and Mrs. Elizabeth
Shelton, who are charged with tiie mur
der of Miss Mcliuda Stevens. The tragedy
occurred near Mineral Spring, in Heward
county, euc day last April. The Stokes
and Stevens are prominent people and live
en .'adjoining farms. Sarah Stokes is a
young and handsome gir! of seventeen.
Her mother died years age and she has
had charge of the household affairs ever
since, looking after the comfort of her
fatlinr a.inl hrnt.linr.
Seme time age a sister of Miss Stvis
made a very derogatory remark concern
ing Miss Stokes, and this coming te the
cars or the latter she swore te be revenged.
It is said that the girls were rivals, each
wishing te be considered the belle of the
neighborhood. However this may be,
Miss Stokes at once mounted a horse, and
accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Shelton,
set out te find Miss Stevens, who they
heard was doing soine shopping in a
neighboring town. The two women
reached the place after a short and rapid
nue, one juiss etcvens nau uccn Komcuew
warned that they were searching for her
and advised te keep out or their way, and
had acted en the suggestion.
After visiting all the stores in the village
without finding Miss Stevens, the woman
started te return home. Miss Stokes was
very angry at the failure te discover the
girl who had, as she alleged, defamed
her, and expressed a determination te keep
up the search until Miss Stevens was round.
Presently the two came by the dwelling or
the Stcvcucs, which steed near the road
side. The mother .or Miss Stevens was
standing in the yard, and Miss Stokes ad-
ure&seu a lew passionate remarks te her.
The conversation brought out M:ss Mcliu
da Stevens, 14 years old, sister or Miss
Stokes' enemy ; the girls seen became in
volved iua bitter dispute; MLss Stokes
denied the statements made by the elder
Miss Stevens as malicious falsehoods, and
tue girl warmly delended her absent sister.
At last the taunts of Miss Stokes stung
Miss Stevens te the quick, and she started
impulsively forward ; as she approached
the open gate Miss Stokes sprang from the
horse and plunged a long, keen bbded
knife, which she had concealed in the
besom of her dress, into the neck of tin
advancing girl. Miss Stevens sank en the
greuud, the bleed gushing from the
wound iu torrents. She died iu a few
minutes. The inquest disclosed that a
rock was tightly clasped in one of her
hands. Miss Stokes and Mrs. Shelton
were promptly arrested, but have been out
net remain ail night but went te their
homes : there was no music after tin
house was closed ; witness went out at the
back deer after the first shot was tired and
out of the side gale te the pavement ;
Miller gave him his pistol after he came
in ; docs net knew iT it had been reloaded ;
witness handed it ever te Squire Garnian
as it was gi-eu te him ; Miller was excited
when he went out but net when he came
back ; witness docs net knew who went
out first. Miller or Weinheld ; alt three
went en the cellar deer when Miller fired ;
witness did nothing during this time, he
just steed still ; the crowd were in a bunch
in front of hinuclf, Miller and AVciuheld ;
Clayten Regar was iu front of the cellar
deer when Miller fired ; when the crowd
first came they made a great neisa'and
were swearing.
II. R. Hacker, the clerk at Miller's
store, testified te circumstances in corrob
oration of what had been stated by ether
witnesses. Ou cress examination he said
that Susan and Mary Bechtold and their
ucaux were iu the side-room wheu the
crowd came up ; witness was in the door
way of the barroom and then went in.
The pistol was shown in evidence, after
which the defense closed.
In Keuuttal.
The commonwealth called Clayten Regar
and Ocergc (..ninths te show that Gciike
mer did net rush at Miller nor point a pis
tol towards him before he was shot ; that
.iiussicmaii was net outsiile et the hetei
until after the sheeting had taken place ;
also that there had been several shots tired
before Genscmer asked for a pistol.
The case was then submitted te the
court without argument.
The court after deliberation said that
under the previsions of the constitution,
the laws aud decisions of the court, that
it had concluded that the testimony before
them ( though net of a positive character)
was such as te warrant them iu refusing
te admit the accused te bail. They
therefore remanded him te the cutedv of
the prison keeper te await trial at court.

About fifty invited guests assembled at
the Franklin house yesterday afternoon in
responce te an invitation sciit by Dr Craig
in honor of his birthday. The party con
sisted of doctors and their families. After
the banquet which had been prepared,
speeches were made, wishing the jovial
doctor future happiness. Dr. Be'ekius
amused the assembly by some of his in
imitable songs, which' were received by loud
applause. About 5 p. m. the party broke
up and the guests returned te their homes.
This time next month the boys of the

THE DRAMA.
One Hundred -Wives" at the Opera Heuse.
A fair audience greeted the production
by the Goschc-Hepper company, at Fulton
opera house last night, of the uew play
'One Hundred AVives," the professed
point aud purpose of which is te develop
the methods by which Monnenism is
maintained the decoying of women from
foreign lands te Salt Lake City,
and there debasing them te the
infamous purposes of that religion.
The hereiuc of the piece, whee
wretched situation furnishes the ground
work of the plot, is one among a large
paity et" deluded people brought ever Te
this country at the instance aud under the
direction el the Mormeu emissaries. She
bar been induced te leave her home under
false pretenses by the suppression of the
truth and the suggestion of what is false,
and once in Salt Lake City, it is a physical
impossibility for her te return. The' dra
matic iucideiits of the work are provided
in the search of the husband who believes
his wife te have wilfully deserted him and
te Lavj carried oil" their child, but who
the events of the piece serve te move is a
geed pure woman who fell into a trap. The
Danitcs or Destroying Angels plav a con
spicueus part in their efforts te accomplish
the death of the husband who has conic
all the way from Eugland te reclaim his
child, and whom the wicked Mermen elder
desires put out of the way iu order that he
may marry the deceived and distressed
wile. It is cheerful te contemplate the
successive escapes of the wronged Kii".
lishman from the devilish traps' laid for
him by the wily Bezum, which is the Mor Mer Mer
eon cider's name, and who is certainly a
bad citizen viewed from the standpoiut'ef
non-sympathy with Latter Day precepts.
Everything terminates iu a beautiful
mauncr, husband and wife aud child being
reunited, and the curtain dropping en
a scene iu which the bad ficzum
aud his accomplices are represented quail
iug before the ritlcs of a squad of United
States soldiers, who have arrived just iu
the nick of time te prevent the consumma
tion of his evil desiims. Tli nmiK-.
busincss of the play is provided iu the
scenes between Confucius JfeGiukg, a
strapping six-footer aud doubtful convert,
and his wife ,iojkreii, who is an enthusi
astic believer iu the faith, and whose chief
ambition is te secure her husbaud's hap
piness and her own glory iu the future
world, by making the number of the wives
sealed unto him as large as possible. He,
however, objects te thus increasing his
happiness, finding oue wife mere than he
can manage comfortably, and the fun
grows out of the disputes between the
JkG'inlqs en this delicate subject. Mr.
DeWelf Hepper, in the pait of '.UeGinleg,
gives a capital representation of the big
geed naturcd husband, who doesn't care
. .. ...... I I-!.. . .. ...
v ceuccai ins aversion ie me religion
which he has nominally embraced just
te. satisfy his wife, whom he per
mits te brew-beat him and torment
him almost te death, but who is
withal a warm-hearted little woman, whose
impulses have run away with her judg
ment and caused her te become securely
bound te the false faith. The latter part
was very neatly done by Miss Helen Gard
ner, a vivacious young woman with just
the snap and dash about her te make the
character what it was designed te he by
the author of the piece. .The ether mem
bcrs el the cast were satisHictery in their
respective roles, the part of the scheming
Mermen lhzum being well done by Mr.
Alex. Fitzgerald, ami Mr. Frank Bu.iwerth
as Juiig Li furnishing a Chinee of the
regulation pattern and consequently quite
amusing. Deserving or especial praise was
the performance of Vivia Ogdcn, a li-tlc
giriofcighter nine years, whose acting
was marked by perfect naturalness and
intelligence seldom witnessed iu children
or her tender age. She became a favorite
with the audience at the outset and her
winning ways and unstudied maimer con
firmed tJc favorable impression with
which her first apperrance was received.
On the whole the performance may fair
ly be said te have been satisfactory and
the play is "geed el' its kind." The fre
quent and profuse display of "sheeting
iron" and ether daugcreus weapons that
marks the unfolding or events serves te
give a highly sensational cast or the gen
eral character of the composition, though
there is no bleed spilled, aud perhaps it
would be impossible te give a faithful
portrayal of life in this region without
thc-e fierce-looking accempauiments.Thcre
is probably mere truth than fiction in the
ordered te be drawn by the finance com
mittee P. S. Goedmau saw no difficulty or bad
spirit about the matter. The city has
plenty of money, or will have, but a large
amount of tax does net come in until nearly
the end of the fi-al year, and the several
departments were forced te wait uutil it
flowed into the treasury through its proper
channels before it could be given te its in
tended purposes. He then presented the
following motion : "That our president be
requested ie act for the department, aud
call the attention of the autherities te the
deficiency and the pressing need of the
companies for the amounts.'' The motion
was unanimously adopted.
