A horrible story comes from the South Sea
Islands. The English vessel Carl has been on
kidnapping expedition, decoying the unsus-
pecting natives in their boats to the vessels
side,and then suddenly smashing the canoes
by throwing heavy pieces Of iron into them
Then the unhappy struggling wretches were
dragged on board and thrust into the hold.
The natives fought and set fire to the ship,
to check which the Captain, one DR.. Murray,
and his crew commenced an Indiscriminate
slaughter OF the captives. The morning after,
on opening the matches, seventy were found
dead or wounded, all Of whom were thrown
overheard. These particulars being found out,
the Captain and crew were arrested at Sydney
and held for trial.

Is President Grant man of average educa-
ton? In his letter to Geo. II. Stuart, in ref
erence to his future Indian policy, Grant says:
IF any change takes place in the Indian
policy Of the Government while hold my
present office, it Will be on the humanitarian
side of the question"
The word Humanitarian" means one who
denies the divinity OF Christ, believes him to
be mere man. Does Grant mean that the
"Indlan policy of the Government" has been,
and will continue to be directed toward teach
ing the children of the forest that Christ was
God Has the Indian question become a
question OF theology h the methodist
Grant become an apostle of unitariaalsm

The Id sale Press, In an article headed,
"Honor to whom honor is due" attributes a
good many of the votes that went to swell
CorWin's majority to the fact that Hough
threw his whole lnfuence to beat Corwin
The Press says "the republican party owe
Hongh debt of gratitude, and in the name
Of the party ought TO return him their
Thanks
The Press may be right in its deductions of
fact, but still we think il any one in La Sale
intimates that Hough intended to work for
Corwin, such person sis a liar, a horse thief,
&c"

CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE.-It IS understood
that at the approaching session of congress a
bill will be introduced especially providing
for the retirement of Chief Justice Chase. In
addition to the fact that he has not been ten
years on the bench, he is not of the age re-
quired by the act OF Congress which retres on
full pay the judges Of the supreme court. On
account of his health the Chief Justice is snx-
ious to withdraw, but would Of course like to
do SO on full pay. 1t has long been under.

Illinois PenitentiarY.

The breach between Gov. Palmer and the
radical politicians and treasury plunderers of
this state has had at least one good result,
for which the people should be grateful. By
promptly removing the radical warden and
other members of the ring and putting honest
men in their place, something like an honest
administration of the affairs of the pententiary
has been secured, and instead of that institu-
ton being All annual charge of half million
above ITS earnings to the state, it is now
self-supportlng. We find The following de-
spatch from Springfield in Thursdays Chica-
60 papers.
SPRINGFIELD, Nov l3-The Board of Pen-
Tertiary Commissioners are now in session at
the prison, preparing to make their triennial
report to the Governor, which will be ready
promptly when due, Oh the lst proximo.
From advance sheets of the Warden q report,
It'll learned that the institution is In most
prosperous condition. The Warden's report
will be most comprehensive, giving statistical
tables and details Of all the various depart
ments in full These show that the prison is
supplied with some six thousand bushels of DO
tatOes, paid for; some five hundred tierces OF
mess pork and corned beef, paid tor; q years
supply OF boots and shoes, paid for besides
all the minor incldentsls necessary to the CON-
plete equipment OF the institution. The insti-
tuition does not owe single dollar beyond the
current monthly expenses, and has on hand a
sum equal to any ordinary demand. The
grounds IN front of the Warden's house and
wings, which have been so long neglected, are
being levelled off; area walls built, and the
other improvements betoken great care and
desire to make presentable appearance, as
well as to secure a good sanitary condition.
These Improvements in and around Peniten.
tlary are very gratifying to visitors who have
heretofore been in the habit of visiting the
Penitentiary from time to time. The Commits.
sioners have been untlring in their efforts to
show abundant success in the management I'M
der the system recently lnaugurated, and their
report will convince the people of the State
that success in the Penitentiary management
Is no longer problematcal but assured.

The coolest thing Grant has said since the
election is that he does not owe his election
to the politicians, but to the great mass of the
people. This is AL insult to popular lntclli-
gence, rs all the world knows that Grant owes
his election solely and exclusively to Cameron
and Morton.

ACCIDENT TO CONDUCTOR DoTY.--On Tues.

rious accident. He had come down Mt 1895 in
the evening with extra freight No. Z, on the
Rock Island road, and received order, to take on
three empty cattle cars at the depot here. In
switching to get them it wa. necessary TO throw
off some box cars or 4 side track The engineer

to the darkness, not seeing tho space fully, put
on too much force. Conductor Doty was on the
