fifteen years imprisonment. It ought
to be death.
R. F. Simpson, residing near St.
E'.mo, III., while playing with his
three years old boy, was bitten on
the thumb by the child. The wound
bled freely at the time, and nothing
was thought of it, but a few days ago
the hand and arm began to swell, and
in a short time death resulted from
blood poisoning.
A terkikle explosion took place at
Spang & Co.'s iron works at Etna
borough, near Pittsburg, Pa, the

Have We a GeTeraateat?
Sometimes it seems a little ques
tionable whether we have a govern
ment that is worth much solicitude.
So many things go utterly wrong and
without any interference on the part
of the anthorities to make them right,
that patience is worn threadbare and
ceases to be a "virtue of any practical
value to the citizen whose rights bavo
been invaded.
If some fool, traveling for the sup
posed pleasure of seeing eights,
should happen to be spit upon in
some out-of-the-way hamlet in
Europe, the whole country would be
up in arms to avenge the alleged
outrage.
All of us would be justly indig
nant at such an affront, even if the
citizen was good for little at home.
We are not favorable to that sort of
treatment for one who is traveling
under the protection of the American
flag.
But here was a citizen of Nebraska,
doing duty as a soldier of the United
States, Captain Emmett Crawford, a
man all over, doing a man's work,
murdered perhaps by misguided
men, under a false notion, but mur
dered nevertheless, and Senator Man
derson's bill, intended to sift the
matter to the bottom, lies somewhere
in Secretary Bayard's department,
along with other matters, that ought
to have had attention long ago.
The Bee says of this :
"The fncts in the case are so clear as to
admit of no dispute. Captain Crawford
was wantonly murdered by Mexican
troops while leading a pursuit of hostile
Indians on 31exican soil in pursuance of
an international agreement. His death
removed from our army one of its most
capable, gallant and experienced of In
dian fighters. It deprived Nebraska of a
valued citizen. It was a wanton insult
to our government and a direct violation
of treaty obligations. Under all the cir
cumstances congress should push
promptly for a heavy indemnity to the
family of Captain Crawford. If the state
department in its lagging zeal cannot
find time to devote to the question, con.
gress should assume the duty of investi
gation itself and direct the state depart
ment to demand redress in the only way
in which redress is possible. Mr. Bayard
has been grossly lax in his treatment of
the Crawford case, and his delays have
subjected him to well-deserved criticism
throughout the country, quite irrespec
tive of party lines."

We are in receipt of the "docu
ments" in the McMinnville Railroad
Bill, and a letter from Congressman
Dorsey in regard to his vote -for the
claim. Reed of Maiae, a leader
amoag republican Coagrsamen, say
that he found, on investigation,
"that in 1861, while war was not
prevalent in the conutry where this
railroad was situated, that the
United States, under a statute made
for that purpose, took posession of
that road, and the United States,
having taken posessioa of it, took
away the iron and sold it to another
corporation and received pay for it.
For my part I can see nothing want
ing to make it a proper and suitable
claim against the government." It
seems to be a just claim of legal men ;
if no, Congressman Dorsey has made
no mistake in casting his vote as he
did.
The Omaha Herald used some
pretty strong language the other day
with reference to the democrats in
the legislature who were elected as
supporters of Van Wyck, and who
did support him, in spite of all the
efforts of the Herald and its wing of
the party to brow-beat them. Far
from being political "strumpets," as
the Herald called them, they were
honestly obeying the orders of their
constituents, as Senator Wolbach of
Grand Island expressed It. When a
man prostitutes his office for bis own,
individual, private gain, or when he
does not fairly voice the will of his
constituents, at the same time well
knowing what that will is, he may
very justly receive the appellation
the Herald uses, but not otherwise.
Paris must be a place for sensa
tions, forward movements in all
directions of progress, as well as for
novel devices for serving the evil
one. Dr. Charcot with his hypno
tism is among the latest French
notions. A thief, under the in
fluence, was made to disclose where
the goods had been s creted, and
cures, said to be almost miraculous
in their nature, have been made,
nervous complaints being modified,
time and again, by transmission from
the patient to the hypnotised sub
ject, and then dissipated.
An old colored man who sells
newspapers at Yemassee, Ga., being
asked for his theory of earthquake,
replied : "I think the Lord bad a good
deal to do with it. You know it took
place juBt about the time the people
had gone to bed, and my opinion ia
dis, that the Lord in winding up the
day's business found that he was
short of prayers and He just took
hold of the foundation ob de earth to
shake up de sleepin' sinners to send
in more prayers. And they came in,
too."
Pat. McDermitt, who lived near
Wilcox, Neb., and whose hands and
feet were so badly frozen and bad to
be amputated, died the other day.
His brother Charles died about three
hours afterward. And the remark

caused by taking a drink of alcohol
in which Pat had soaked bis feet to
counteract the effects of tho frost.
It is claimed that tho alcohol was im
pergnated with blood poison, and
that he died a horrible death.

Prohibition republicans are
strenuously demanding that this legis

of the kind referred to havo been
elected to carry the proposition

Waaalaetoa letter.
(Fioro ctir regular correhpondent.)
Washington, Jan. 24, 1886.
The past week in Congress may
very appropriately be called "pension
week," inasmuch as mure money was
voted out of the treasury for this
purpose than in any one week dur
ing the present session. And now
there ia a proposition before Con
gress to establish a civil pension list,
for the benefit of Government em
ployes who havo been thirty or forty
years at their desks. This of course
meets with unqualified approval from
all the department clerks, but it will
probably meet a vigorous opposition
from the spoilsmen in aud out of
Congress. -.
They will hold that instead of de
vising schemes for prolonging the
tenure of office, Congress bad far
better set a fixed limit to terms of
official service, and adopt the policy
of rotation.
But rising above all political con
siderations, the Government conld
scarcely do a worse thing for the
young men of the country than to
tempt them with its subordinate
clerkships, with a guaranty of re
tiring them on a pension thirty or
forty years afterward. No man
should sit at a desk in the depart
ments and copy letters or add up
figures for a whole lifetime. He
owes something moro to himself than
to enter upon such a condition of
servitude.
A recent scene in an executive ses
sion of tho Senate has furnished fresh
pabulum for the opponents of secret
sessions, and now one hears "star
chamber rowdyism" rung on so many
changes. It was Senator Riddle
bcrger who 6tirred the Senate up.
The British extradition treaty being
under discussion, ho denounced it as
a scheme to curry favor with British
tyrants, and said Senators need not
hope to hide their votes on tho treaty.
He declared that he would make it
his duty to publish the vote regard
less of the rules.
This aroused Senators Edmunds,
Evarts, Frye and others, who under
took to convince the Virginia Senator
that he was amenable to the roles at
all times. Mr. Riddleberger defied
the rules, and said he wonld dare the
Senate to expel him for making pub
lic votes that would sacrifice the
principles of this Government.
At ono time several Senators were
shouting at the tops of their voices,
so that they were distinctly beard in
the corridors and adjoining com
mittee rooms. The excited remarks
were directed at Senator Riddleber
ger and he was doing his best to
shout back at four or five Senatois
who were shooting at him.
Tho new Senator-elect from New
York, Congressman Hiscock, will be
conspicuous in the Senate through
his wide knowledge of everything
relating to appropriations for the
various departments of the Govern
ment In a general debate he will
compare favorably with any of the
Senators He my never aatouish his
auditors there with Lis brilliancy,
but he is sure to satisfy them always
with his good sense and knowledgo
of business affairs.
Mr. Hiscock ha baon called an in
dolent man because he has an ap
pearauce of repose and ia very de
liberate in his movements. His
nature seems to be contradictory,
howe.ver, for there are times when he
is furiously energetic and indus
trious. He has a tall, well rounded,
portly figure, and a peculiar mouth
which is said to resemble that seen iu
the statue of young Augustus Caesar.
Some people say Mr. Hiscock shaves
his upper lip on account of the curves
of his peculiar mouth, which a mus
tache, if permitted to grow, would
hide.
An indefinite number of millions
represented in the person of Mr.
George Hearst will, next session, re
sume the seat they lately occupied in
the Senate wing of the Capitol. Mr.
Hearst will be distinguished for
being one of the richest men in the
Senate, the money he has acquired
being his only title to consideration,
social or political. He occupied a
seat in the Senate a few weeks last
year, having been appointed by the
Democratic Governor of California
to fill tho vacancy caused by the
death ot Senator Miller. His brief
career there was a greater failure
than Mr. Tabor's, for tho latter had
sense enough not to try to mike a
speech, and Mr. Hearst did not
loxttsyonbtntt.

Tacoma, Jan. 26th, 1887.
Editor Jouknal: Although January
is nearly ended, we have had but four
nights cold enougn to skin over mud
puddles in the street; we have a good
deal or rain, but no feuow thus far.
This is the only county on the Pacific
coast tint is entirely free from China
men. Since the exodus in Nov.. 18S3,
net a Pagan has oeen in the county ex
cept to go through on the cars or steamers.
The 27 men indicted by the U. S. grand
jury at so much expense (to Utcle Sam)
and noiae, aud bailed at $5,000 each, were
on hand at toe appointed time, but the
indictments were quathed; then 00 grand
jurors, anil ou petit jurors were sum
moned from this whole judicial district
to appear at our last term of court: they
indicted 10 men (some of them were of
the 27 and some were new men), the par
ties pleaded not guilty, :md were releas
ed on their own recoguizance to appear
for trial next month, and that is probably
the end of it. Uncle Sam foots the bills
(well up in the thousands), our hotels
and saloons did a good week's business
and everybody i happy. After the exo
dus, Col. Bee of San Francisco, herded
all the expelled Pagaus at Portland to
get their statement of losses, so as to
make out a bill for damages. Their bill
against this city was a little over $1)7,000;
in the spring of 1883 they refused to give
the assessor any list or statement of
property for taxation, and he had to get
at their property the best way he could;
his assessment of their property in the
city was $1,000 and in the county a little
over $4,000; when they left, they took all
their property with them, except the huts
on the beach they themselves tired; they
did not own an inch of real estate. We
were much surprised at the amount of
loss, aud supposed ost of it must be for
their ''lacerated feelings," but when the
list was published, there did not any
thing appear for "lacerated feelings,'
but all for good, solid property lost. I
will give two items in the bill. Some
five years ago a Pagan, Sing Lee, bought
a farm near Ilillhurst, Pierce Co., and
paid $450 down and mortgaged the place
for the balance; be put men to work rais
ing vegetables, poultry, etc.; he neither
paid interest nor principal and the mort
gage was foreclosed, the property sold by
the sheriff, and in due time the sale was
confirmed by the court; also in 1883, he
leased a piece of ground adjoining the
city and started a brick-yard; he put up
a kiln of brick and burnt them, but they
proved worthless the clay was not
good aud he abandoned it; in 1884 the
land was laid out as au addition to Taco
ma, but before any lots covered by his
lease were sold, the owner got his relin
quishment, which was duly recorded; in
the bill for damages among the losses
claimed by this same Sing Lee, is the
following: "Lossot farm near Ilillhurst,
$4,500; loss of garden, pigs and chickens,
$3,000; brick-yard destroyed at Tacoma,
$7,000," etc.
In 1883 I rented a Pagan a piece of
garden land for live years. I never could
get a cent of rent out of him and in June,
1884, I notified him to vacate; he gave a
relinquishment of his lease, which was
recorded in June, 1884, seventeen months
before the exodus. He hung around town
a few months, then left, and I lost all
track of him; but he puts in a bill with
the rest. He claims $273 for garden de
stroyed near Tacoma. Another claims
$3,600 greenbacks stolen by the mob. 1
do not suppose tbc whelp could tell a
greenback if he saw one. These arc fair
samples of all their claims.
I congratulate the people of Nebraska
on their choice for U. S. senator. The
political life of the'demagogue in Ameri
ca is short. Such men as Ben Butler and
Carter Harrison, having some brains and
considerable wind, manage to keep in
notice and vex the people for some years;
but the majority last about as long as did
Dennis Kearney. Well would it be if
they all would follow the example of the
illustrious Dennis, who to his honor be it
said, since he retired from politics has
become a quiet and useful member of
society, and is earning an honest living
in San Francisco by driving a swill-cart.
Yours truly,
Eben Pierce.

The Best.
There is au advertisement in the
Examiner this week of a remedy
that ia superior to all others, and as
nearly all diseaso owes its origin to
the impure condition of the blood,
this is by far the best preparation
ever offered to the trade. It purifies
and enriches the blood, gives tone
and energy to the eystoiu, builds up
broken-down constitutions, and
gives strength and energy to the
feeble and debilitated. We refer to
S. 5. S., and will say that this notice
is cheerfully given them, unsolicited
on their part. Abimjdon ( Va ) Ex
aminer. Swift's Specific is now sold in dry
form H9 well as liquid. The dry can
easily be produced at home, and can
bo used without spirits if desired.
Price fifty cents per package. Sent
by mail on receipt of price. Some ot
the mo3t wonderful cures have been
made by nsing the remedy without
any spirits at all.
There is no longer any ground for
hesitancy on the part of the reader.
Swift's Specific reaches all diseases
arising from an impuro and vitiated
condition of the blood. Exhaustive
tests have been made in this class of
disease. Irrefragible testimony from
people of all classes and walks of
life, professional men, merchants,
mechanics and laborers, all agreeing
in their verdict that Swift's Specific
is a euro cure for every disease that
inheres iu the blood.
