EDITORIAL NOTES.
CURRENT TOPICS.
After tlie death of the Inte Gen
eral Upton a letter was found resign
ing His position as commander of the
Fourth artillery. The theory is ad
vanced that the resignation was made
with a view to getting relief from
work and also to allow more time for
the revision of his. luetics.
It U said tiiat the rush of Ameri
can people to Washington in the ca
pacity of office-seekers is. unprece
dented In the history of the country.
It is getting to be a lingering death to
hold any high office controlling patron
age. As the apple tree borers kill the
apple tree so do borers after office dry
up and finally kill the dlspeusor of
patronage.
Flora T. Wagstaff has recently
been admitted to the Kansas bar.
This is a good tiling for Flora, but
heaven pity o jury when interviewed
by a woman lawyer, especially if she
possesses bulf the gift of gab sup
posed to be Inherited by her sisters
generally.
Our honorable servants at Harris
burg, the General Assembly, are
considerably exercised because Attor
ney General Palmer has given it as his
decision that they cannot draw more
than $1,000 salary no mutter how long
they remuin iu sessiou. An attempt
Is being made to pass a law giving the
Honorable Senators and Members pay
at the rate of $10 a day for litty
days additional. No doubt the time
w.ould then be short enough to trans
Met the business absolutely necessary
to be done. Great is the Pennsylva
nia legislature. They have expelled
a newspaper correspondent, and now
if they get the extra $500 and adjourn,
the exclamation well done will rise
spontaneously from the lips of their
admiring constituency.
In France men- who applaud the
assassination of the Czar are lined anil
imprisoned. In this country idiots of
that class are allowed full vent and
none seem to care.
William H. Vunderbilt tho riolx-st
man in New York has presented that
city with an obelisk at a cost of $200,
000. Aud yet hundreds of people are
starving almost under the shadow of
the giant monolith. Aud the streets
of the great city are so filthy that even
the obelkk has to hold its nose.
Statistics seem to prove that the
ecntre of population is now located
within n few miles of the city limits
of Cincinnati. And now Cincinnati
proposes to anne x a few miles of terri
tory so that she can claim to be the
centre of population.
Little Senator Mahonc, of Virgin
ia, only weighs about one hundred
pounds. Yet his vote is just as heavy
as that of David Davis who tips the
beam at 300.
The excellent financial manage
ment of the inauguration festivities,
lias resulted in paying back every
dollar subscribed and leaving a bal
ance of $1,899.04 remaining in the
treasurer's hands. Tim total of sub
scriptions was, according to the re
port, $13,48T.7', and the receipts from
the ball and other sources was? 25,578,
25. Of this sum of S39.00C, there was
expended on tho ball, etc.; $10,0'S2.17;
on street decorations, $8,042.82; on
Illuminations, $3,881 .no; and for post
age, traveling expenses, etc., 2,221.30,
making a total of $23,078 61. The
affair was conducted by business men
on business principles and as a conse
quence no waste wss had and every
dollar accounted for by a proper
voucher.
President Garfield does not deem
it necessary to convene an extra ses
sion of Congress. This- decision will
put the question at rest.
Polygamy will soon be a thing of
the past, only to be referred, to along
with the crime of slavery as a dark
epof on the fair escutcheon of our
country's history. President Garfield
is quoted ns saying to a Western Sen
ator: "Senator, as a personal fuvor to
me I want you to take up and cham
pion this Mormon question iu the
Senate. We must stampout polygamy.
I want this to be one of the distin
guished features of my administra
tion." This is only In accordance
with the sentiments expressed in his
Inaugural address. The people will
uphold the President's hands in this
holy crusade against un unholy evil.
Oscar Thomas Gilbert Moiterde
Lafayette, Senator of France- and
grandson of General Lafayette, is
dead. He was to have been one of the
French Commissioners at the York
town celebration.
"Old Abe" the famous war eagle
of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer In

at the head of th& regiment through
out the war, never receiving a scratch.
Bincelhewarlt baa had a room In
the basement of the Wisconsin Capi

It is now said that there is
little doubt that the late General
Upton took his life while In a fit of
somnambulism. His sister used to
rise in her sleep, and at one time came
near to throwing herself out of the
window. The General used to sleep
with loaded pistols under his pillow,
and though often remonstrated with,
in view of the fact that somnambulism
was a family trait, to discontinue the
habit, he laughingly said there was no
danger, and dung to his old army
practice.
A Minnesota family lost six chil
dren last week by diphtheria. On
Monday the youngest child died;
Tuesday another died, and on Wed
nesday a third, Thursday two more
were taken, and on Friday the oldest
child a lady of thirty breuthed her
last.
The fret at Harrisburg over the
salary question still continues. Sena
tor Norris' bill fixing the salory of
members of the Legislature at $1,500
was reported favorably In the Senate
on Friday last, which hud the effect
of brightening up the grave faces of
the Senators. This proposition makes
it possible for members to draw $-"00
for one day's pay, as under the con
stitution they are entitled (of 1,000 and
the bill makes it $1,500. The commit
tee which prepared the bill hud before
it a proposition that the members re
main in session 150 days for the
nmount named, but if was not favor
ably considered. The Governor's
assurances have no doubt led to the
preparation of this relief measure, but
it is feared the Attorney General may
decide that the bill cannot be made to
apply constitutionally to the present
Legislature.
At a land league meeting at
Cough, County Kilkenny, Ireland,
April 3d, a telegram was read from the
Brttlugliuderiu branch league about the
affray there the day before, stating
that the police had fired on the people
without provocation and that two
men were killed, two were dying and
three were wounded.

and wife, Kenor Romers, ex-Mexican
Minister, Mr. Davidson, General
Grant's secretary, Mrs Allen, Miss
Sharp and ex-Senator J. B. Chaffee, of
Colorado, sailed for Vera Cruz Mon
day morning on the steamor Whit
ney. Judge Elwell, of Bloomsburg,
rendered a decision in the William
sport bond ease last Saturday. The
rule for the attachment against the
Treasurer and Councils of the City to
show pause why an attachment for
contempt should not issue against
them for failing to-obey the order of
the court, was made absolute. None
of the respondents wiil be arrested
who shall within ten days file at
Bloomsburg n bond in the penal sum
of $1,000 for their appearance on the
6th of May to uuswer to the Court.
Andrew D. White, Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
at Berlin, Germany, has resigned.
The American Almanac, edited
by Ainsworth II. Spolford, Congres
sional Librarian, gives the official
vote for President as follows : "For
Garfleld,4,442,950; for Hancock, 4,442,
035; for Weaver, 300,80"; Garfield's
plurality, 913."
One hundred and fifty ladies of
Greeley, Colorado, invaded a Primary
Convention, and insisted on participat
ing in the proceedings. The question
"Shall the women vote?" was carried
in the affirmative by the ladies them
selves. Their candidates, however,
were ut the last moment defeated, mid
they therefore have bolted and put up
an independent ticket.
Congressman Townshend of Illi
nois, like Senator Gorluun of Mary

of Representatives.
The Kansas amendment to the
constitution prohibiting the manufac
ture and sale of intoxicating drink,
goes into effect on Mav 1st. Many
friends of the measure are fearful lest
the very stringency of the law may de
feat its power for good. A les rigorous
enactment as a starter no doubt would
have been a better arrangement.
In Philadelphia the nuisance of
distributing "dodgers" on the public
highways is said to be almost beyond
endurance. Promenaders on princi
pal streets have tbeso advertisements
thrust into their hands or face, only to
cast them to the sidewalk to help- the
accumulation of dirt and litter. The
Philadelphlims should advertise iu
their local papers and then would the
nuisance cease. Take Ridgway for
example. Notice how our merchants
advertise and keep up their local
papers.
Russia is at present under a reign
of terror of the worst description.
Soldier and peasants, editors and
merchants are banded together
to. protect themselves from un
known and unseen assailants of
the public peace; and yet they
have no assurance but tliut the very
men they are guarding against are
among themselves. Nihilism raises its
head aud strikes a death dealing blow,
and no one knows from whence it
came nor from whence comes the
next blow. A little less tyranny on
the part of the Government, and a
great deal more education of the
masses may in time solve- the great
politlcul problem witli which Russia
has to deal, and bring peace to the in
habitants of that distracted couutry.

Ourrie, the Murderer, Killed.
A despatch to United States Mar
shal Kerns of Pliiln. announces that.
James (,'nrric, the murderer of Porter
the actor, ha been killed ut Los Ve
gas, New Mexico. Carrie's life has
been that of a desperado since the close
of the war. in which lie served with
credit. During his employment on a
railroad in Kansas he run an excur
sion train lrom Leavenworth down to
Lawrence, and he stepped into a sa
loon in Lawrence. Here lie was sur
rounded by n gang of enemies, and a
desperate affray ensued. Carrie
fought with the ferocity of a tiger and
vanquished the whole party. Then
cutting loo.-e a horse that was hitched
at the curb he mounted the steed and
galloped to the outskirts of the town
where his engine awaited him. Here
he concealed himself iu the bushes to
evadu the mob of rowdies who were
on his track, and remained until his
fireman returnd to town and fathered
up the excursionists. As the train
came back Currie mounted his iron
horse again and snapped his lingers iu
t he faces of his pui'suel's.
Some time afterwards he had a quur
rel at Junction Ciiy witli a man con
cerning n woman, which resulted in
his shooting and killing his antagon
ist. Subsequent to this ho Killed an
other man in an affray. This ended
his career in Kansas," and givim; up
rnilioadiiig, lie joined the regular
army as u scout. He served on ninny
expeditions with General (Ulster.
Finally he drifted Into T"xus. where
Sam Buss and his band of train rob
hers were having full swing To a
great degree the capture and destruc
tion of these men were due to the
shrewdness and exertions of the man
who afterwards murdered Porter in so
brutal and cowardly a manner, and
would have shot a woman except foi
her piteous appeals for mercy. The
story of the murder of Bciijaiiian F
Porter and the wounding of Maurice
Barryniore at Marshall, Texas, on
the 20th of March, lsW, has been told
so often that a detailed repetition at
this time is not needed. Alter various
delays Currie was brought to trial on
the 10th of June, 18f0, and the evi
dence incriminating bint was as di
rect as possible. Among other wit
nesses, Mr. Barryniore testified, as
well us Miss Ellen Cummins, the lady
who was the unhappy cause of the
affray, mid who narrowly escaped
death herself at the desperado's huiids.
Miss Cummins, on returning to
New York from Texas after the trial
stated thut the issue of the atrocious
farce was never for un instant in
doubt. She was treated Willi the
tc.mtiest of courtesy aud browbeaten
on the witness-stand us if she, and not
the buily murderer, were the real
criminal. The counsel for the prose
cution and defense fraternized amica
bly anil smoked, as did everybody else
during the proceedings, and outside
the court-room she was made to feel
very unmistakably that she hud not
ut all increased her popularity by uid
ing the base endeavor to rid the free
uiHlvnlightenvdSlate of one of its
most prominent and high-spirited
citizens. The verdict in this case lias
become as notorious as the crime; on
toe l'.'lh of June Currie was lound
"not guilty," on the ground of in
finity. In the following summer
Currie was described by a correspond
ent of the New Orleans J'icayttne ns a
"changed man, utterly unlike the
Currie of former days, and determined
to lead not only a good but useful
life."
In this he failed, the despatch to
Marshal Kerns saying: "Currie, it
appears, was ou a drunken spree and
threatened to kill several jienple.
Among tho persons threatened was
the bartender of a saloon, who iu self
defense, shot the Texan murderer, the
ball entering his forehead aud coming
out at the back of his heud. A party
of railroad bonds, friends of the dead
man, attempted to lynch t'je bartender
but the SheritT succeeded in getting
him to jail. A Coroner s inquest wus
held and the jury ut once returned a
verdict of shooting iu self-defense.
The bartender was held, as futhcr
trouble Is expected.'
