DISCIPLINE NEC ESS ART.
There are very many important lea
sons to be learned from the recent de
feat of the Republican party, and these
may be made pro6 table if proper ap
plication u made of them. Not. that
we believe the result of the election is
an intelligent condemnation of the
course pursued by Republicans in ihe
administration of national affairs, for
the ballot was cast by vary many who
conld not read the names, and who
did not have the least knowledge of
American institutions. Among the
discontented classes, from whom an
archy and communism draw their most
earnest disciples, it is only necfssary
for any party to howl reform, corrup
tion and plutocraey to receivo their
support, and they exercise the ngbc
of suffrage and throw dynamite
bombs with the same object in
view the destruction of the ex
isting order of things. Again, very
many come to this country and vote
before they understand the national
questions discussed in any campaign,
and these are easily swayed by local
prejudices of the community in which
they live. In New York, the manip
ulation of Tammany changed many
thousands of votes to the Democratic
candidate, and the great moving cause
with these was neither the tariff, free
silver or the force bilL For these
reasons we do not believe the lessons
taught should be heeded in the direc-

and inherent elements of weakness. In
minor matters, when the battle is not
on, Democracy may show broken
ranks; but when the fight begins,
every man is in his place and there is
a Bolid front presented to the enemy.

frequently in presideetial campaigns,
when unity is very necessary, the
- members of the party will be found
leaving the ranks and giving strength
to other organizations, which weakens
their forces. The mugwump move
ment in 1884 elected Cleveland, and
the Populists attracted more Itrgely
this year from Republicans than from
other parties. Then the management
is usually at fault, and this year to a
fatal degree. There must be unity in

throughout the nation would form a
complete, harmonious, working politi

our numbers.
REFORMS.
. During the campaign just closed
Democrats all over the United States
have arraigned the Republican party
for placing heavy burdens upon con
sumers by means of the McKinley
bill, in nurturing corporations and plu-
causing strikes and general depression
in business by favoring the few to the
injury of the many. These and many
other gross outrages have been laid to
the charge of the present administra
tion, and in their platform adopted at
Chicago and in the speeches of their
orators Democrats have promised re
lief if the sovereign DeoDle would eive
them the executive and legislative
branches of the government The citi
zens of the country have acceded to
their urgent request in a very liberal
manner, and it is now, incumbent on
the great Democratic party, the party
of reform, to redeem its pledges. For
the next four years the president and
both houses of congress will be as clay
in the hands of the potter to the dic
tation of the politicians who secured
the victory, and relief should come
immediately. It should be far-reaching,
and the McKinley bill should be
repealed, and a measure imposing
duties only for revenue passed. The
national banks should be abol
ished, and radical act-ion taken
in regard to trusts. These evils have
been so burdensome upon the people
according to Democratic campaign
oratory that reforms should be un
dertaken at once, and a special
session of congress convened for that
purpose. The voice of the people was
loud and emphatic laBt Tuesday, and
it resounded from Maine to California,
and from the great lakes to thti gulf,
and should be heeded. Democracy has
paraded with the assumed title of
being a party of the people, and now
that it has a cleer track, with millions
of citizens urging it forward, it should
not waver nor hesitate in the course
to be pursued.
JURIES AND LAWYERS.
The jury system prevailing in this
country one of the peculiar institu
tions of the common law brought to
this country from England by our
Puritan and Pilgrim ancestors- is al
ways a fruitful subject of discussion
during the session of courts, and when
juries do not satisfy the popular idea
of justice there is liable to be a public
clamor against this part of our juris
prudence. No causes involving the in
alienable rights of freeman have been
adjudicated this term, and therefore the
voice of the people has not been raised
condemning the iniquities of the insti
tution. But in fairness, it must be
considered that the men who compose
juries are part and parcel of the com
inanity from which they are drawn,
and are subject to the same diverse
conclusions regarding the right or
wrong of an act. This creates divis
ions and classes in society, in politics,
and divides the religious world into
different denominations. It seems im
possible for any six persons to view
the same occurrence in the same light,
and, of course, it cannot be expected
jhat twelve men can go into the jury
box and arrivo at the same conclu
sion regarding the degree of the
crime committed, or whether the
defendant is guilty or not guilty of any
crime. Human nature is the same
in the court room as it is on the
street, and, even if the most conscien
tious men comprised the panel, the
qui-bles of lawyers drilled diplomats
who spend the hours of day and night
for a lifetime studying the arts of du
plicity and chicanery would sow the
seeds of doubt in the fairest and firm
est minds. For tbese reasons criti
cis(i.sVof verdicts of juries are fre
quently very ui.just, and do not dis
play that careful discrimination which
the different phases of the subject de
mand. We are iirmly convinced that,
generally k peaking, tho decision of
twelve Dien, under oath, is more near
ly just and right than the opinion of
those who have not heard the evi
dence; and, when lawyers only defend
innocent men, and will not take either
side of a case at issue for a fee, then
and nit till then will right and justice
be supreme.
An united effort on the part of East
ern Oregon in the next few years will
accomplish wonders towards the devel
opment of tho country. For many
years our producsrs have been taxed
to support railroad monopolies, and
the second largest river in North
America has been locked to the com
merce of the people by raeson of ob
structions which could easily have been
overcome by government aid. The
locks will be completed in two or three
years so that water craft can traneport
freight from The Dalles to Reaboard
without breaking cargo, and now im
provements above this city should re
ceive the greater attention in order
that the counties east of Tne Dalles
should be afforded the same relief that
this point will enjoy in the near fu
ture. Every paper in this portion of
the state should agitate the subject of
a portage railroad, an appropriation
for which the people are justly entitled
to from the legislature. But the mat
ter of a ship canal as the permanent
improvement should not be lost sight
of, and this should be requested from
the general government. All residents
of tne Inland Empire are interested in
an open river, and the .portage road
constructed by the state and the ship
canal by the government can be secured
by an united, untiring effort
If Democracy were honest in its
spread-eagle oratory before the people
during the campaign just closed, the
"robber-tariS" would be abolished as
quickly as possible. Republicans ac
knowledge ' they have been beaten at
the ballot-box; but will Democracy
prove it has the courage of its convic
tions by inaugurating legislation in
harmony with the provisions of the
Chicago platform, or el e confess its
dishonesty and trickery by failing to
redeem its pledges? As jthe Times
Mountaineer has frequently stated in
its columns, the Democratic party has
not advocated a national policy for
thirty years, and has attempted to s
cure success by the most nefarious
methods. It has felt the public pulse,
and has been the advocate of any wild
or impracticable measure that would
court public favor. In the present
campaign it has howled corporation
control of the Republican party, and
now that the people have answered to
its call, it will make no effort to prove
its complaints well founded. Democ
racy desires the spoils of office, and
after it has secured a position at the
public crib it has no further consider
ation for the people or the ills which
they may suffer.
Mr. Cleveland has decided not to
call any special session of congress af
ter his inauguration, March 4th. He
will be president after that date, and
will submit ' to no dictation. This is
very manly and commendable in the
executive of a great nation; but he
should not forget that one of the prin
cipal factors in bis election was Tam
many and the work done by its mem
bers, and they expect remuneration.
Of course, it is presumed that this ring
of politicians did not follow the same
plan of operations that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union would to
accomplish its purpose, anJ had some
object in view which may or may not
be in unison with the best interests of
the nation. It is a foregone conclusion
that they expected the president to be
in harmony before as -well as after the
election, and if he is not they will
know the reason why. There will, no
doubt, be some excitement in Demo
cratic ranks after Cleveland is inaug
urated.
The social world is somewhat ex
cited over rumors that Senator Hill,
of New Tork, is engaged to a rich and
beautiful widow iu Atlanta, Ga and
that a son of the Milwaukee brewer,
Pabst, has married an actress. ' These
matters are subjects of no importance
to American citizens, and shonld re
ceive little attention. Senator Hill
has the constitutional right as a native
American citizen of marrying whom
he pleases, and it is no person's busi
ness. The same may be said of young
Pabst, who, even if his father is a Mil
waukee' millionaire, has the unques
tionable American privilege of marry
ing an actress, if he so desires. As
Americans, we are too apt to forget
the old Anglo-Saxon rule of conduct
of minding our own business and let
ting our neighbor's alone.
It seems likely that Mr. Carlisle
will receive the gppointment of secre
tary of state in Mr. Cleveland's cabi
net He is a free-trader and free
silver man, and would carry out the
ideas of Democracy completely in
these regards. '
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
The question of regulating immigra
tion is again being discussed by the
leading papers of the country, and this
is a pertinent one so soon after the
general election. That the privilege
of suffrage is too freely granted in this
country but few will deny, and that
the United States has received and is
still receiving an undesirable class of
people from foreign counsries, will also
be endorsed by nearly every citizen.
It may be the spirit of our free insti
tutions that this should be the asylum
of the oppressed people of all nation
alities, and that in this country the
poor and tho rich, the educated and
the ignorant, should be equal before
the law; but there are certain
classes of society who seem to have no
other object in life than to create mis
chief, and are as undesirable in a re
public as in a monarchy. These (should
not only receive l.o inducements
to come to our shores, but should be
debarred from entrance. The gates of
Castle Garden should be forever locked
to such, and stringent laws should be
enacted and enforced to keep them
from landings They are political lep
ers who spread the contagion of dis
content among unsatisfied people, and
the evil tbey attempt to sow is much
easier killed in the germ than throt
tled to destruction after it has
matured into active life. Action
in this regard cannot be taken too
soon to avert the consequences
which may follow. Aad while legis
lators are saving the nation from the
influx of political mischief bleeders,
the ballot box should be carefully
guarded, and none but those who are
in harmony with our institutions and
can intelligently exercise the privilege
should be granted suffrage. Only hon
est, industrious and law-abiding immi
grants are desired, and only patriotic
citizens be allowed to vote. '
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Brazil is encouraging Chinese immi
gration, and if tbey desire Mongolians
we could start an army of them in that
direction.
Washington is all right, and the
latest returns give the state to Harri
son, the congressional and guberna
torial ticket by about 000 majority.
The Democratic rooster is becoming
very tired of crowing; but the Repub
lican eagle is very robust, and when
his voice is heard it means that the
country is prosperous and happy.
Chairman Carter says he will give
no statement regarding his opinion ot
the defeat of the Republican party at
the recent election, and he t right in
refusing. Post-mortem examinations
never restore life.
More wheat will be sown this year
than ever before, and, next harvest,
with a favorable season, there will be
a vast amount marketed. Tne de
mands for an open river are becoming
more urgent every year.
Which is the party of theory and
not of practice the Republican or the
Democratic will be demonstrated in
the next few months. Democracy
owns the nation, and let it inaugurate
its oft-repeated principles if it dares.
The Union Pacific has been block
aded several days, and passengers and
freight are transferred by boac; but
there has been no obstruction to traffic
on the river. Man made the railroad,
and God made the river. The deity
is still supreme.
Next year Chicago will be the cen
ter of attraction, and the Columbian
exposition will cause more foreigners
to visit this country than any other
event in its history. It is hoped tney
will receive fair treatment, and will
leave with a better opinion of the
United States than they previously
entertained.
The people, in demanding a change
in the economic policy of the govern
ment, are simply asking the Demo
cratic party ti redeem the pledges it
made to them during the past cam
paign. Republicans are satisfied with
protection; but there are others who
desire a test made of the policy of
tariff for revenue only, and this should
be done.
The election just closed is indisput
able evidence that a revolution may be
effected in national affairs by the bal
lot, and no riotous disturbance occur.
Mr. Cleveland, after the 4th of March,
vill inaugurate his free-trade policy "
causing a complete change in the ad
ministration and the people will ac
quiesce until called upon for their de
cision in 1896.
The election of Mr. Cleveland is
hailed with great joy by all countries
that are desirous of flooding the
American market with their fabrics,
aud no doubt it is a matter over
which they may rejoice. Free-trade
will open our ports to them, and their
products will be offered at a very low
price. This is what they have desired
for years, and they expect now to
reab'ze their earnest wishes.
When Mr. Cleveland retired from
the presidency, nearly four years ago,
a Democratic exchange boastingly says
there was $100,000,000 in the treas
ury. We would ask for information,
what benefit was this hoarded wealth
to the nation or the people) It would
have been much better for the labor
ing poor if it had been sent into the
channels of trade by means of liberal
appropriations ic the River and Har
bor bill.
If men are to be rewarded for the
help they have ' extended to the suc
cessful party, Ueneral Weaver should
not be forgotten. The Populists were
the means of taking several states out
of the Republican column and of add
ing others to the Democratic side of
the equation. I heir candidate for
president would make a consistent
cecretary of the treasury, or he might
be given the - portfolio of the navy,
army or of the interior.
It is encouraging to those who re
side on the Pacific coast that, notwith
standing the terrible landslide last
Tuesday, Oregon, Washington and
California can - still be reckoned as
solidly Republican. We have the most
delightful climate in the country, mag
nificent scenery and Republican ma
jorities in the northwest; and for all
these blessings we should reel gratetul
to an over-ruling providence and an
intelligent people.
There will be some necessary delay
after the bids for the construction of
the locks have been received. They
must bej accepted, by the secretary of
war and tho bonds approved, and then
it will uke time ' to put the plant in
position if tb it now in use is not do
nated to the contractor by tho govern
ment. The people must exercise pa
tience; but they will rest assured thai
work will be prosecuted with the
greatest expedition, and can look for
ward to ths time when river craft will
carry th ir wealth of productions t
seaboard without breaking cargo.
As predicted, Europe feels joyful
over the Democratic victory, and, with
the inauguration of free-trade, Eug
land, France and Germany expect to
have a ready market for their manu
factures. This will be very beneficial
to the laboring poor of those countries.
but it will be poverty and starvation
to our own wage-earners. The voice
of the majority has demanded this
change in our economic policy, and we
must patiently acquiesce.
In the hour of exultant victory, for
the Demecrats of Portland to send a
sarcastically worded dispatch to Gov.
McKinley, stating that they "could
not have succeeded" without him, is
not indicative cf a generous fop, but of
the feelings of a boastful braggart and
bully. The Democracy of Oregon did
nothing whatever towards the success
of the national ticket, and is now in
such a disintegrated state that it is
doubtful whether it will ever do enect
ive work again.
If the opinions of President Har
rison regarding the cause of the Dem
ocratic victory are correctly quoted in
the interview published in Saturday's
dispatches, he has not increased bis
number of friends in tne Kepublican
party. To lay the blame on the tariff,
tb6 force bill and Chairman Carter at
this late day comes Jin bad grace from
him, and the country at large will be
surprised that he made such a con
fession of his own dereliction, for his
letter of acceptance fully mapped out
the issues on which the campaign was
to be fought on the Republican side.
In charity to bim it is advisable to be
lieve that the reporter relied upon his
imagination for his facts.
A MTSTEEI0US MUEDEE CASE.
An Unknown Man Found Mutilated
In at Union fttu-.lfle Hox-Car.
Oregonian Not. 17th.
Captain Charles Gritzmacher aDd three
of bis detectives Simmons, Griffin and
Holsapple are now working on one ot
tbe most desperate cases of murder that
has ever bee a reported to police bead
quarters in Portland. Tbe mystery tbat
surrounds it, and tbe fact tbat there is no
clue to work upon, make the matter
rather difficult for tbe officers to solve,
but they spent all their time last mgbt
endeavoring to gain some Information.
Tbe Union Pacific freight train tbat ar
rived in this city yesterday morniDg at
6:35 o clock brought box-cur Ho. 8193,
loaded with wheat for tbe Pacific Coast
Elevator Company, at Albina. The car
was switched oil at tbe elevator, and
shortly after i . Summers, G. James, C,
Anderson and H. James began uuloadm.
it. They noticed bloody stains on tbe
6ides of tbe car and on some of the sacks,
but save no thought to the matter. After
having removed several truck loads of
the wheat, one of tbe workmen saw
man's feet underneath some sacks. In
vestigation proved that a dead man was
there, further work was suspended
and word was sent to the police station
It was no case for the officers then, and
Coroner Holman was notified. Be sent
out bis deputy, Hance Tutbill, and tbat
officer caused toe sacks to be removed,
when a horrible sight was revealed
There was a man in a cramped position,
with his head and neck butchered in
terrible manner. After the situation bad
been carefully inspected, the body was
taken to tbe morgue and Captain of De
tectivee Gritzmacher notified.
IT WAS A BRUTAL MURDER.
It did not take the captain long to de
cide that a foul murder bad been com
mitted, and he set about to get some in
formation, but, so far, be has been unsuc
cessful. Car No. 3193 was loaded with wheat at
Elberton, in tbe Snake-river country. It
was sealed at tbat place and brought to
The Dalles, where it was dropped. Uou
ductor Stout picked it up Monday and
bronght it to Mosier, where he side
tracked it. Then Conductor Harris
brought it into Portland yesterday morn
ing. When it arrived in Albina, it was
noticed tbat the seal was broken, but no
attention was paid to this, and it was
only when tbe body was discovered that
this fact presented itself in a most sig
nificant wav.
How tbe man came to bis death can
only be surmised, but the detectives offer
a very feasible solution. It is based up
on bis condition. An examination by
City Physician C H. Wheeler at tbe
morgue showed that be had been tear
fully mutilated. On the left side ot tbe
neck were three knife wounds, one reach
ing nearly to tbe windpipe. On tbe right
side of tbe bead were several wounds.
His skull was fractured here, and a large
hole easily admitted two fingers of tbe
physician. Over tbe eye and on tbe tern
pie were other gashes from which tbe
blood was still oozing, while on tbe chest
were indications tbat be bad been beaten
by some heavy instrument. Then on bis
neck were finger marks showing tbat tbe
assassins-bad made an effort to strangle
him. Hib coat and vest were torn almost
into shreds, and there were other indica
tions that he had fought desperately for
bis life.
HOW THE WORK WAS DONE.
Considering everything, tbe detectives
came to one conclusion. Tbe man was
some one who bad been working in ware-
bouses in the wheat country about Tbe
Dalles. He was on bis way to Portland,
and during tbe train blockade tbat exis
ted at Bonneville Tuesday fell into tbe
company of two tramps, and tbey entered
this car. There it was ascertained tbat
tbe deceased bad money and an attempt
was made to rob him. He resisted and
was set upon, cut with a knife and
beaten with, evidently, a coupling pin,
until be was dead. Then bis pockets
were rifled, for there were bloodstains in
side, and every article of value that be
nossessed was taken. Tbe murderers
then shrewdly -concluded to conceal the
body in tbe car, and, placing it in a cor
ner, after having wrapped some empty
sacks about tbe mutilated head, piled tbe
heat over it. Then tbey left tbe car
with their booty.
Everything was taken from the cloth
ing but a letter which was left behind.
It gave no date, but was addressed -'Dear
Brother'' and signed "Lease." It refer
red to matters of a family nature, and
threw no light whatever upon the man's
identity.
Tbe detectives went to Albina last
night, but could not find tbe crew that
brought tbe car in yesterday morning, for
they had gone back to The Dalles, and
will not return until ibis evening. Tbey
are very anxious to find out who tbe man
is. He is apparently about 35 years old,
5 feet 10 inches in beigbt, and weighs
about 175 pounds. He was dressed in a
black frock coat, black vest and gray
striped pants. His oversbirt was a blue
flannel one, and bis underclothing was of
brown woolen goods. He has sandy hair
and a veryligbt mustache. It was ap
parent tbat be wore false teeth, and bis
bare upper gums were lacerated, as if
having been struck by some heavy in
strument. Coroner Holman will probably not hold
an inquest until to morrow, and mean
time tbe detectives will endeavor to ob-
tain some cloe.

Ko Extra Session.
New Yrok, Nov. 15. The Sun this
morning says - ''The Sun is permitted to an
nounce that it is the present determination of
ex President Cleveland not to call an extra
sesssion of congress after his inauguration
March 4th next. It is further announced that
in the estimation, at present, of Mr. Cleve
land, and his closest friends, that an extra
session would turn out to be a profitless pro
ceeding. His friends say that Mr. Cleveland
must have time after his inauguration to look
over the ground. There is a natural objection
also to the assembling of congress imme
diately alter the inauguration, on the ground
that it would have more or less of an unset
tling influence on the business of the country.
Another objection to an extra session in the
minds of Mr. Cleveland's friends is that the
Republican party and its allies have demon
strated altogether too eager a desire that Mr.
Cleveland should call an extra session. Ic is
not customary for a new administration to ac
cept counsel from the enemy, but stronger
than anything is the feeling that an extra ses
sion could be of no particular advantage, and
the proper thing to do is to give Mr. Cleve
land and the Democratic leaders time to look
around and determine just what course to
pursue. The best authorities said last night
that it would take all next summer and fall to
get under headway, and that it will be plenty
of time to go ahead at the beginning of the
53d congress, which assembles on the first
Monday in December, 1893."
(Striking Workmen.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 15. It is now 136
days since the strike inaugurated by members
of the Amalgamated Association at the Law
rcnceville and Beaver Falls Carnegie mills
began. To-day the Carnegie company started
the Beaver Falls plant, claiming, so far as the
Lawrenceville and Homestead works were
concerned, the strike was over. It is not
denied by anyone that the company unques
tionably has the better of the tight, although
it has been enormously expensive. Numbers
of strikers at Lawrenceville and Homestead
are disheartened, and at the same time there
are as many more whe are determined to fight
it out if they can be supported. It is the
question of finance which is the most serious
problem the men have to deal with. A mem
ber of the advisory committee said to-day that
there was no use in holding ont false delu
sions. There are about 1000 persons in
Homestead and 300 each in Lawrenceville
and Beaver Falls on the relief rolls; He said:
"Of these, 800 have families, and the Amal
gamated Association contracts to pay them
$a per week. 1 he other Boo get $ 5 per week
making a total ot $10,400 a week That is
severe drain on the organization, composed of
only 22,000 members. Outside financial aid
has fallen off, until the question of finance is
indeed serious."

Seattle, Nov. 15 About November
25th tbe railroad construction camps on
tbe lines of tbe Great Northern and
Monte Cristo roads will commence
to
break np, and, as many of them are in
fected witb smallpox, the board of health
to-nigbt decided to stop all trains at the
boundary line between King and Snoho
mish counties after tbat date, and require
every man from a railroad or mining
camp to be vaccinated or show a clean
bill of health and a recent mark proving
him to be inoculated. Now tour pbysi
cians are kept on trains coming from that
direction, examining tbe passengers and
requiring vaccination of all suspicious
persons. At Everett a cemi quarantine
bas been established against Snohomish
through which town all the railroaders
come. All steamboats have been with
drawn from between tbe two towns,
There is but one case at Snohomish, and
there is one at Lowell, one at Sultan, and
four at Index, all in Snohomish county
and all supposed to have taken tbe dis
ease from one railroad navvy who passed
through tbese towns when covered with
postules.
Cleveland Is President
CHICAGO, Nov. 15. A Washington spec
ial to a republican morning paper says:
There was an exciting and heartbreaking con
versation, so far as certain Democratic leaders
are concerned, held recently in Cleveland's
residence, in New York. The details are
gradually leaking out from his auditors
Good plain English was spoken by the presi
dent-elect ana be did not hesitate to empha
size the fact that he had been chosen by the
people, not by the politicians. "I am under
no obligations to Tammany Hall or any other
organization for my election," he said, "and
1 do not propose to be dictated to by anybody.
Now that I am president it is my intention to
be the head of this nation in reality and I
will not permit any dictation as to my future
actions." In the course of the same confer
ence Cleveland set his face resolutely against
an extra session of congress, saying there need
be no haste about revising the tariff before the
regular session, which would begin in Dec-
emoer, 1 873.
The North wettt Wants It.
Washington, Nov. 14. The Post says;
"The bulk of opinion here points in the di
rection of an extra session of congress, which,
it is believed, will be called at an early date
following the inauguration of Cleveland.
Undoubtedly great pressure is preparing to be
brought to bear upon the president-elect to
effect this. Northwestern men wbo are in
closest touch with the people at borne are es
pecially urgent in the demand for an extra
session."

A Finer KnrdercA.
Morrison, III., Nov. 16 A. Swarthout,
residing two miles west from tbe village
of Lyndon, and one of tbe wealthiest far
mers of tbe township, drove to this city
Thursday afternoon, and after attending
to some business started for bis home, ar
riving there at 8 o'clock. His two tons,
John and Ernest Swartbout, were en
gaged at work around tbe barn when
their father returned, but no words were
exebaoged betwcea tliuu. Ater Mr
Swarthout had uutir.ni! a id his horse,
gome one stepped behind him and sbi-t
bim through the head. The body was
then placed in a curt and wheeled to a
strawstack, carried on top and then the
straw was set on fire. Tbe daughter of
the murdered man was the first to dis
cover the fire and the gave the alarm,
when bis two sons rode to the stack but
made no effort to quencb tbe flames. On
Saturday morning the case was placed in
the bands of State Attorney Stager. He
found a path in which tbe body was con
veyed to tbe straws'.ack; then caitwheels
were traced to a p ace in the slongh be
tween the brn and stack, where a por
tion of the skall through which the bul
let bad passed and to which one ear was
attached was found. The clothing cov
ered witb blood wts found io a shed be
longing to the sons, and they are now
under arrest. Tbe fact that Swarthout
intended to marry again was displeasing
to his children, as it might interfere with
their interests in the property and turn
Ernest and his wife away from the farm.
Swartbout's watch and a large sum of
money tbat be carried have not been
found.
Speculation as to Cabinet OfHcers.
New York, Nov. 16 Tbere is a sur
prise in store for tbe local makers of cab
inets to-day because tbey will have to
take into consideration a new name. It
is that of Senator John G. Carlisle, oi
Kentucky, and be is likely to be, made
secretary of state. Seoator Carlisle, who
bas been in the city since Saturday be
fore election, started for borne yesterday
afternoon. Since Mr. Cleveland's elec
tion, they have been in prolonged consul
tation almost daily. Mr. Carlisle on
Monday spent three hours witb Mr.
Cleveland. He visited bim 00 Sunday,
and remained witb bim until nearly mid
night. He spent almost the entire pre
ceding day witb Cleveland and his friends.
Tbe president elect has talked witb Car
lisle about all tbe l-sues ot the campaign,
and asked his advice on many ticklish
points. Mr. Cleveland thinks that Mr.
Carlisle is the man he wants for the posi
tion ot secretary ot state Tbe newest
name in cabinet speculatiou istbat of
James C. Carter. He is a le.dicg Dem
ocratic lawyer of this city, tnd there is no
doubt that Mr. Cleveland bas bim in
mind. A friend ot Mr. Carter said yes
terday: '"Mr. Carter is an intimate per
sonal friend of tbe president-elect, a man
of high character, and the possessor of a
sufficient fortune to give bim tbat easy
independence which is almost indispen
sable to one wbo is to assume the post of
secretary of state. To the objection that
Mr. Carter is not well known to the
country at large, however well be may be
known to lawyers in this city, the presi
dent-elect bas replied tiiat Mr. Carter is
better known than any man wbo became
a member of General Grant's second cab
inet. Mr. Carter, in Mr. Cleveland's
opinion, is not only a more able man
than Hamilton Fish was when be became
secretary of state under Grant, but is in
tbe enjoyment ot a wider fame."
The Money Question.
London, Nov. 16. No programme yet
exists for tbe international monetary con
ference which will open at Brussels Nov
ember 22. When the delegates meet, tbe
proceedings will be opened by one of the
Belgian representatives- inviting tbe
American delegates to state the proposals
tbey desire to bave discussed. Ibese
presented, a committee will be appointed
to prepare a definite agenda. Insiruc
tions to tbe English delegates are that
tbey are to treat tbe conference as a
purely deliberative body, without power
to commit tbe government represented
to anything. The Indian currency com
mittee is debating a motion to establish
gold coinage in India. Tbe proposal bas
no chance or approval, liven singli
standard experts admit tbat the change
would convulse India politically, besides
causing trade and financial panics tbere
and in tbe Indian markets in Great Brit
ain. Baron Herscbell, lord chancellor, is
supporting the movement, however, for
the purpose of checking by means of
bravado tbe proposal to influence the
bimetalists at tbe monetary conference.
Tho Alliance Ordered to Samoa.
Washington, Nov. 16. The Alliance
has been ordered from Honolulu to
Samoa after all. The change was made
00 tbe morning before the mail steamer
sailed from San Francisco with the or
iginal orders on account of tbe late news
from Honolulu, whicb caused tbe officials
to tbiuk it prudent to keep the Alliance
in that port. Orders were accordingly
sent to bave tbe Ranger, now at San
Francisco, fitted out for service in Samoa.
But it was subsequently found too much
delay would be occasioned in getting ber
off for this service, and deemiog tbe sit
uation in Samoa more urgent than that
in Honolulu, it was finally decided to ad
here to tbe original order for the Alliance
to sail to Samoa.
Fight With Convicts.
Madrid, Not. 16. Convkts in Tarra
gona prison mutinied this morning.
Tbey overpowered tbe guards, and pre
pared witb outside assistance to effect
general escape. Troops were hastily
summoned, and when tbe convicts re
fused to return to their cells tbe soldiers
fired on them. Tbey advanced on tbe
troopp, however, with all sort of impro
vised weapons, and a desperate hand to-
band fight ensued. Some of tbe soldiers
fell back, reloaded, and as tbe opportun
ity offered fired into tbe couvicts, wbo
were finally overcome; not, however, till
nine of them were killed and 17 wounded.

Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 16. Consider
able surprise is mamlested here amongst
Catholics over tbe Investigation of the so
called jewels and sacred relics tbat were
in tbe possession of tbe late Father Mo
lines. The result of tbe investigation
shows that the jewels and relics were
nothing but glass and gilding. A great

over ibe fact tbat tbey were worshiping
an imposition. Father Moline's actions
are spoken of very disparagiugly by
members of tbe congregation.

reward $1000 by tne San Franchco
Breweries Company, and $1000 by tbe
citizens of Sao Jose has furnished an
incentive for the officers io trying to fer

ladies with whom he was very friendly
increases.

An effort is being made by the Chau
tauqua authorities to organize political
economy clubs in communities where a
sufficient number can be enliBted to form
a wutkicg organization, tbe object being
to awaken a wider interest in tbe sto iy
of economic and social questions. The
work is to be conducted by means of de
bates and discussions, 6oljects for which
will be suggested in circulars to be seot
to each member of tbe club. In letters
accompanying these circulars hints and
suggestions will be given and tbe princi
pal recent economic events will be briefly
treated wheu appropriate to the subject
in band. The circulars in addition will
contiin tefeiennes to books and periodi
cal literature which will be helpful in
preparing debates and discussions. It is
announced that if the plan meets with
anticipated success, a political economy
club day will be held each summer at
Chautauqua, at which a prominent polit
ical economist will be iovited to deliver
an annual address, and several of the best
papers written by members of the clubs
will be read.- It will be interesting to
watch tbe operation of tbis plan.

"cornering" the sale, un tne contrary
they have arranged to supply banks, busi
ness houses and individuals in all parts
of the countrywith as many as they may
desire to distribute among their patrons,
