The free tradera motto is: Make
everything cheap, etc if it impoverishes
the people bo thut they have nothing to
buv with.
The !at of May has leased and the
revolution that as exjcted failed to
connect. Another illustration of the ad
uge that the expected never happens.
Atkaxsah politician are trying to
fasten the murder of Conpmwrnan Clay
ton upon a dead man, and locate bis
grave at a distance.

in pood shape, too. The uien who built
the tariff were the men to reform and
amend it. It whs the will of the Ameri
can people, and they are not going to
hi. irk the wpom-ibiiity.
No mun is more cordially hated just
now by Ieuiocxats t!ia Speaker Reed,
lie lieiievea that "the nisj'irity tliould

practice and interfered with the I'enio

Tiif. quickest piece of lepit-latio.) of the
present sewion of Confrere w tlie joint
revolution appropriating $V,0ii0 for the
relief of the fnifferers by the fl.od in the
M'.wisnippi Valley ; it was passed by the
)Iouh and Senate and approved by the
President all in one hour.
Swketakv Ci.akk-on cays the cam
pipn of 1VI2 will lie mainly a new spajier
campaign. Well, that was true of the
campaign of lsss. The oiatory and
torch light processions were only the
jieper and salt and ntuMirijj. The news
ixrE. talk to the jfple at their lire-
Hide, where they do their thinking.
A shout time ago corn was sold very
cheap in Kansa, and every free trade
pajier was tln.uting it is "the roblier
tariff," "poor mortpuped farmers." Corn
having liounced up, the wime fallows are
declarinp, "Protection bag nothing to do
with prices, it is the demand and pup
ply." Ict them po it.
A iono-w lMiKn lieinocratic organ
groans liecauae the recent ''tension bill
was passed after three hours' debate."
llut it hasliecli diacutcsed and understood
over the whole land for years. A three
weeks' discussion would not have chang
ed a vote, and the people are not hungry
for (imprest-ional oratory. It is work
and not talk the jteople demand.
Ami'M". the utiiendmcntH to the Con
stitution of the V'nitcd SLatos is one
which declares that "cruel at d unusual
punishmenta bhall not be inliicted." The
Supreme Court takes knowledge that
Keiuiiiler, the New York murderer, was
hentenced to an "unusual punishment,"
and it has stayed the sentence. 15ut w ho
can say such punishment is cruel?
The action of the State Hoard of Par
dons in refusing to commute the death
sentence of the Nicely tr others, cannot
fail to meet w ith theupj roval of all law
abiding citizens. Their ciime was a most
cruel and wanton one, and for the preser
vation of society and the vindication of
outraged law it is necessary that the ex
treme jienalty should lie inliicted.
Tin: Congressional investigation into
the assassination of Colonel John M.
Clayton at Plummerville, Alk., has dis
closed the ariount of money expended
by the official of that State in seeking
the assassin. It was the uiuniGent sum
of And yet the leading Ieniocruts
of the State continue to assert that they
have done all that was possible to dis
cover the murderers. With life held so
lightly in Arkansas, w hat can property
lie worth? How tan Arkansas ask for
Northern capital to develop her material
resources when they bold a man's life to
lie worth only ..
Thk Service Pension bill just jiaFsed by
the House provides for the payment of a
)ension of $8 per month to every honor
nbly dim-harped soldier of the late war
w ho is bow over li'l years of age ; to every
widow of an honorably discharged sol
dier w' is U) jeers old or is without
other means of suport than her daily
labor ; and to every honorably discharged
wldierwho is suffering foui mental or
physical disability. The bill involves
an exjs nse of about tl-.i"o,(KiU. The
vote on it was 17'. to 70.
The Uepubliean party lias promised to
take care of the soldiers w ho preserved
the republic, and ii will do so. Demo
cratic opjiosition now will be no more
effective than lVmocratic opposition was
twenty-tix years ago, wheu that party,
in convention assembled, adopted a plat
form declaring the w ar a failure and ad
vocating a "jieaa ful separation" of North
and South.
Thk Democrats, of course, say that
Senator Sherman's conduct in seeking to
have the President of the Senate author
ized to count Senators present and not
voting, in order to make a quorum, is
revolutionary. They said that when
Speaker Peed was doing likew ise in the
Hoase, rejardles of the fact that il jg
the authorised way of ascertaining
whethera (uorum is present of the Pirit
ish Pailiament. !' it t hen we lKik over
recent American history we find that
the really revolutionary proceedings
liave lieen inspired and conducted by
IVmocrats. It is they that refuse to
abide by law wheu they find themselves
beaten.
It was the Democracy that revolted in
IsOi because it was beaten in the Presi
dential election of lsi0, and caused the
bloodiest civil war of modem times. And
it was the Democracy that in 1S7H, under
the lead of the late Clarkson X.Potter,
tried to unseat President Hayes, refusing
to abide by the best and most thoroughly
adjudicated Presidential title in the his
tory of this country, which proceeding
the late Alexander H. Stephens, of Geor
gia, the Vice-President of the rebel Con
federacy, denounced as revolutionary
and incendiary.
There is more "revolution" in the
Ik-inocracy's little finger than in the lie
pablican party's foins..V. ". Puni.

Senator Beck Dead. ,
WashikotoS, May 3. Senator Beck, of j
Kentucky, dropped dead in the Baltimore
and Potomac station at 4 o'clock this after
noon. He had just arrived on the limited
express trom New York, and w aa accom
panied by bis daughter, Mrs. Goodloe, wife
of Mnjor Uoodioe, of the United States Ma
rine Corps. He got off the train w ithtbe
rest of the passenger and walked with his
daughter the entire length of the platform
nd through the gate to the station pror.
He seemed to walk with an effjrta .dto
breathe hard, but these syroptons were
usual accompaniments of exertion with him
for months past.
Passing into the station, the Senator and
bis daughter slopped and were joined by his
private secretary, who had brought a car
riage to take them home. A few words
were exchanged with regard to the care of
tlie ba;;gagc, when the Senator suddenly
turned pule, and with the remark, "1 feel
d:.-," fell into the arms of his companions,
lie M:vta SPOKE Atj AiN.
They could not support bis weight and he
dropped to the floor, where be iwooned
way. Ilia daughter was naturally alarmed
and screamed for help. Willing hands were
...
numerous, as me station was cmwu t
time, and the limp and helpless body was
born into the ollice of the station master,
about 20 feet away. Great excitement ensu
ed, and although it was apparent that the
Senator was dead, half a dozen messenpers
were immediately dispatched for physicians
and all remedies at hand were applied, but
with no eflect.
Antl-Cerrymanderlnff Bill Finally
Reported to Congress.
Wasiiixjtox, May 3. Representative
McComas, of Maryland, to-day reported to
the House from the Committee on Election
of President and Vice President and ltepre
sentatives in Congress, his bill to prevent
eern manderinp. The retort is long, and in
cludes anlelaborat review and discussion of
the constitutional questions involved, it
savs :
"The country grows more aniious to se
cure fair elections. Congress is justly urb'ed
to pass national election laws to guarantee a
fair votinc, counting and return of the elec
tion of Coiieressmen. In States hostile to
the exercise of the suffrage by colored citi
wns. enforcement of such laws is difficult
indeed. The subject of a national election
Inw is involved in the negro. This anti-ger-rvmanderiuK
bill may be effective in the
m l, ii sttates where powerful minorities of
white voters are to-day suppressed by shame
ful gerrymandering.
JIST 0X ISSTASCK.
"At the last election for Congressman in
Indiana, for instance, the majority vote for
Congressmen elected three Representati ves,
but the minority vote for Congressman elect
ed ten Representatives. Such gerrymander
ing is a crime against the general Govern
ment and the people of the whole nution
This bill will at least cjrcpel representation
of the suppressed white minority in the
white States. It will check reckless gerry
uiai dering in the States of the black belt
and make it easier for Representatives elect
ed therein to obtain certi ticaliou of election.
It will resjiect equally States rights and the
riuhts of the I'uited States.
It permits States to continue to make
regulations for the election of Congressmen,
but warns the States that a national Consti
tution has been adopted establishing a real
and not a shadowy governmeut, a saver
eigiity of the people repoeed in an Executive
and Congress, and that the Congress will ex-
ercixe its power to make or altar the State
regulations of time, place and manner of
holding elections for Representatives in Con
cress, to secure districts more compact as to
territory, more stable in duration, and to
secure preater equality of population b land
the Renreseutatives in Coneress. These
things the States have failed to do. "
The Service Pension Bill.
The House yesterday passed the Morrill
Scrvira Pension bill as a substitute for the
(Senate He)iendent Penoion bill, and the Sen
ate bill as amended by toe substitute was
then passed.
The bill authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to plaoe on the pension roll the
name of any officer or enlisted man of sixty
years of age or over, or who shall hereafter
trach that Bg., who served ninety days in
the army, navy, or niari corps of the
t oiled States during the Varof the Rebel
lion, and shall have rece ved an honorable
discharge therefrom, said ension to com
mence from the date of the application
therefor, and to continue during the term of
the life of said officer or enlisted man, at the
rate of f S a month. All persons who served
ninety days or more in the military or naval
strvice of the Toiled States during the late
War of the Rebellion, and who have been
honorably discharged therefrom, and w ho
are now or may hereafter be suffering from
mental or physical disability equivalent to
the grade now established in the Pension
Office for the rating of $8 per month, upon
due proof of the fact, according to such rules
and regulations as the Secretary of the In
terior may provide, shall be placed opoo the
list of invalid pensioners of the I'nited States
at the rate of $ per month. It also provides
for a pension to the widow of any soldier
when the shall arrive at tlie ape of sixty
years, or -when she shall be without other
means of sepjiort than her daily labor.
Ravages of Spotted Fever.
CiKcijiNATi, 0.. Msy 4. Additional reports
of the ravages of spotted fever near Frank
lin, Tenn., have been received confirming
and augmenting the horrors briefly reported
Friday night. The disease is unusually fatal
out of every 10 persons attacked dying.
Tbe fever bad a brief run in Summer and
Webster counties about two years ago, but
disappeared and people were greatly elated
at their seeming escape, but last week it re
appeared and within 4S hours of its coming
bad taken five lives. Since then a dozen
more have died, and tlie people of the strick
en district have about concluded to abandon
it forever, as this is tbe fifth visiiation for
tbe lever. Farms and all kinds of stock
can be bought for a song. The origin of the
disease is not known. It comes without
warning and goes as suddenly.
BAD ON PROHIBITION.
A Sweeping Decision Rendered by
the Supreme Court.
fin Monday the supreme eonrt cf the
I'nited States rendered an opinion adverse to
the constitutionality of the laws of prohibi
tion states, providing for the seizure of liquor
brough from other states. Sach laws, it is
behi, are interferences with inter-state com
merce. The case in which the decision was
made was that of I.?isy against Hardin,
brought up on appeal from the supreme court
of Iowa. Leisy is a beer manufacturer of
Peoria, 111. Jle shipped beer to Keokuk, la.
ltwm seized in the orginal packages by
Harden, a slate official, as baviug been sent
there in violation of the Iowa laws. The
supreme court of Iowa held that the law un
der which the official acted was valid. The
supreme court of the Vnited 6ttes reverse
the decision. After referring to decisions
bearing on state license laws, the court say :
These decisions rest upon tha undoubted
right of the states of the union to control
tbeii purely internal affairs, in doing which
they exercise powers not surrendered to ths
national government; but whenever tbt law
of the stale amounts esentially to a regula
tion of commerce with foreign nations or
among the states, as it does wben it inhibits,
directly or indirectly, the receipt of an im
ported commodity, or its disposition before
it had ceased to become an article of trade
between one state and another, or another
country and this, it comes in conflict with a
power which, in this particular, has been ex
clusivelv vested in the orginal government,
and is therefore void. The plainliils, citizens
of Illinois, had the right to import tbeir beer
into Iowa and had the right to sell it, by
which act alone it became mingled in the
common mass of property within the state.
I'p to that point, in the absence of congres
sional permission to do so. the state bad no
power to interfere, by seizure or any other
action, in prohibition of importation and
sale by the non-resident imKrter. Articles
whicn congress recognizes as subjects of in
terstate commen-e may be controlled by
state laws amounting to regulations while
. I..... ...ir. .'l.ur.r!r lint to concede to
a state the power to exclude such articles
without congressional perni.nsiuH io w,.
cedetoa msjorttv of the people of a slate
represented in tlie state legislature the power
to regulate commercial intercourse
the slates.
Justice Grav delivered a dissenting opin
ion in behalf of himself and Justices Harlan
and Brewer. The opinion says :
tu !, im in rmeiitiiiti wem enacted in
the slate of Iowa in the exercise of its un
doubted ower to protect its inhabitants
acainst evils, moral, physical and social, t
tending the tree use of intoxicating iiquors.
They are not aimed at inter state commerce ;

restricting or prohibiting the sale of intoxi

sold by the importers in what are called ori

atlirmative and eiplicit legislation on the
part of congress to com inoe us that it con

A Gigantic Piece of Work.
The Government Printing Office has just
completed the largest order for printing ever
given. Last February the Census Bureau
made a requisition for 20,0u0,000 enumera
tion blanks, and thev have iust been deliver
ed by the Public Printer. The immense
amount of work required can be imagined
by a little flaring in regard to the paper
used. Taking 4S' sheets to a ream, it re
quires 11,4 33 reams for the job. Each sheet
measured 2Jx'tO inches.
If the Public Printer bad been obliged to
stack these sheets in one pile it would have
been 0,010 foet high, or one and a quarter
miles toward the sky. If stretched out it
would have covered 2."),2S,3.t3 square feet,
while it would have weighed ZS.) tons. The
(iovernment Printina Ullioe began ibi work
March 3, and has just, delivered '.be last
sheets. To show the large amount of work
the Government PrintingOffice is capable of,
it may be said that while this worx was be
ing done the Public Printer delivered 5.0"",
000 other blanks of various siza and forms
to tte Census Bureau, ?15.0on,000 miscella
neous blanks to the other departments, and
2,."55.042 copies of reports, d'Kuments, bills,
etc.. for Congress.
Besides these, every day the Cunrirealonal
Rrcardt was printed, and the rejiorts of the
other departments were also printed, averag
ing 172.KS1 volumes. This shows conclu
sively that the Government Printing Office
is the largest establishment of its kindin the
world. It took half a ton of twine, in bund
les, to tic up the census blanks.
For Life or Death.
IlARBisnrao, May 2. An adjourned meet
ing of the Board of Pardons was held hut
night, and resumed this morning, a pardon
was graaled to Charles Larrabee, of Venango
county, convicted of murder in the first de
cree.
The crime for which Charles Larrabee has
spent fourteen years in the Western Peniten
tiary was the killing of a colored man in
Venango county, as he claims at the latttr's
own request, enforced by the threat that he
would kill Lirrabee if be refused. The two
were bunting in the woods when the negro
informed Larrabbee, such is the story he told
after bis arrest, that he bad decided to com
mit suicide, but, being a Catholic, could not
kill himself for fear of eternal punishment
Therefore larrabee must shoot him, he said.
Not until the negro pointed his gun at him
and solemnly declared be would fire if be
did not consent, would Larrabee perform
the fatal act. Only a few hours elspsed till
he was arrested, and his story then seemed
so improbable that his conviction followed
siieedily. A new trial was secured, and the
case contested so stubbornly that two years
elapsed from the time of bis arrest and the
final disposition of the case by the commuta
tion of the deat h sentence to life imprison
ment. An entire revulsion of feeling Is said
to have taken place in tLe community and
nearly everybody favored the pardon. Lar
rabee has served longer than a full second
degree sentence, his conduct in prison baa
been exemplary, and as it wa never shown
that he held any previous malice against his
victim, bis punishment has been thought by
bis neighbors to be ample. Many now even
think it probable that hit strange story of
the affair was true.
An Ohio Auditor Coes Wrong;.
Colciibcs, O., May 2. The State Auditor
has bad investigated the financial condition
of Henry County, and it is found that ex -Auditor
Charles Ebers has tailed to account
for $1050 due the State; has unlawfully re
ceived and converted to his own nse in fees
IZ.OH), and has misappropriated $11,867 41;
that $isfl 40 belonged to the school fund, and
$1,148.18 due tbe township fund is mysteri
ously missing. Of the delinquent personal
tax claims collected $7:10.12 was nn account
ed for by tbe Auditor, and be also failed to
account for any penalties imposed upon de
linquent Ux yers. thus making the short
age in this one item $200 greater ; that the
Auditor paid himself $1,020.52 more than
was legal for services rendered in tbe collec
tion of delinquent taxes. He also allowed
biniself$4 too much for making ditch no
tices. The rejiort also states that $300 of the
Dow liquor tax is unaccounted for.
Drought In South Dakota.
Pierhx. S. D., May 1. At midnight tb

bition will not be enforced. At Chamber
lain tbe strict enforcement of tbe law is oe
