The French Ahd Spanish Republic! /!
That sounds nice for republican gov
ernment in Europe. Wemust confess,
however, that our faith in the stability
of republics constructed Of such mate
rial is exceedingly slim. The only
hope we cherish for good out of such
movements is, that trials or attempts
to build up republic viii agitate the
question, and thus do good. Had the
French and Spanish nations such q
constituency as the Swiss contedera-
tion has, a hardy, honest, industrious
people, there might be hope for imme-
date success; such success as would
make the crowns rest uneasy OH the
heads of European monarchs.

CoLrAx.s DEFENSE.

The testimony given by Mr.. Colfax
in his defence, on the 1lth instant be-
fore the Poland committee, Is very
strong, indeed andwe must say, from
the testimony he adduces, connected
with his long life ofprobity, as against
the testimony Of Oakcs Ames, whose
own statements place him in bad odor,
convinces us that Schuyler Colfax
stands disenthralled and fully acquit-
ted from the charge against him. 1t is
grateful to US that we are able to so
say, and we hesitate not to do IL. We
know that you cannot find in all this
country q single man Of doubtful rep
utation who is not bowling with ho-
" horror depicted on his countenance,
about thu great Credit Mobilicr scan
dal, and Schuyler CoIfax is especially
pointed at by all immoralists az dam
aged specimen of the honest man. All
such, as well as the political opponents
of Mr.. Colfax, are not expected to be
satisfied with his explanation. The
question at issue was whether Coifax
had received dividends on Credit Mo-
bilier or Pacific Railroad stock, which
Mr.. Ames affirmed and Mr.. Colfax de-
MED. We are clearly of the opinion
that Mr.. Colfax has made . good de-
fense.

Senator Pratt, OF Ind, Chairman of
the Committee on Pensions, reported
yesterday adversely to the allowance
of pensions to soldiers of the war of
1912, who served less than sixty days.
We cannot agree with the Committee
on Pensions in this matter. Very
many soldiers of IL were called for
thirty days who performed excellent
service, all of whom now living are
aged, and we think it but a simple act
ofjustice to remember them. Quarter
sections of land have heretofore been
given to soldiers of 1912 where they
had served fourteen days. We cannot
see therefore why objection should be
raised now ON the length Of service.

Whatever we may say of placing wo-

not best to foist upon foreign govern

adopt the policy at home. In the next
place, we regard the appointment as
virtually the appointment Of her hus-
band, who was q violent opponent OF
Gen. Grant and the Republican party
last fall, and also q bitter opponent OF
the Congressman elect from the Dcs
Moines district, both before and after
his nomination. On the evening be-
fore the election he made violent
and abusive speech against Grant and
Kasson. He, of course could not ex-
pect to be appointed by the present
administration, SO his wife hies to
Washington and persistently presents
her claims to the Iowa delegation as
only a sharp bold lady can. We are
utterly opposed to any such sharp
movement to establish in the Havre
Consulate Office, a blatant, bitter
Liberal, who has no claims whatever
for such place.

The romaneer Of the Detroit Press
talks as follows: \ DeiroiteC named
Andrew Steadmau, who buys cattle, deals
IN hides, aud occasionally makes dollar
by buying aud seliug produce, went out
to Nankn Township few days ago to
buy n span Of horses which were wanted
by firm in the city Upon reaching the
farmers house he found that the man was
working with neighbor a mile away.
To save the distance he cut across lots,
but was warned before be started to look
out for a savage BOVINE which had the
run Of a ton-acre field Thinking how he
was going TO get that span Of horses for
$50 less than their value, Steadman kept
poddmg through the field, which had a
strip Of bushes two or three rods wide
running half way across It. There were
a few stumps aud logs, one small tree,
but nothing which prevented any Que
from crossing the strip. The Detroiter
was about ten rods from the bushes when
he heard "a distant thunder sound, !" and
looked around to see from which way the
shower was coming. About thirty rods
away he beheld the old bovine coming
for him, head down, back up, and eyes
blazing, Steadnan was satisfied that he
was the man who was wanted, and he
went for the bushes, lie thought the
bull would stop aud run around the strip,
and was startled when the old fellow
dashed through them ON his trail, utter
ing deep "boomlp every instunt.

the bovine tore along after him, smashing
bushes and leaping logs, and II was get

spicd the open end Of a large hollow log.
The bull was not over forty feet behind,
and into the log went stcadman, finding
an oriice about twelve feet long, and
large enough to be roony. The bovine
/ had seen the movement, and stopped at
the log and ripped off bushol Of bark at
the first dash. Then putting his horns
under it be gave tia roll, aud Steadman
spun around like dried pea in a police

old and tender, and every time the bull
hauled back and jumped for It he covered
himself with glory and clouds Of bark
and wood Sometimes he whlrled one
end and then he gave the centre a hcave,
aud then he knocked foot OF the other

and who were afterwards carried to Jeffer-
son city Jail, to prevent their being lynched,
were yesterday taken to Fulton, Galloway
county, for trial. On the way over, August
escaped from the train while in motion
near Cedar city. The old man was taken
to Fulton. pleaded, guilty of the charge,
and was sentenced to six years in the
penitentiary Col. Low, the sheriff,
with four men, started with the prisoner
in hack to the depot, where it was sur
rounded by a mob and the prisoner deman-
ded. Upon the refusal of the sheriff to

the disaster, arriving there at 1;3O a. IN.
Everything possible was done for the suf-
ferers and at a. M, the train returned to
the city, bringing the uninjured coaches OF
the wrecked train and all the dead and
wounded except two firemen. who were
left at Lamont for burial. Capt. Smith
and Mr.. Fleury it is feared will not recover.
The cause of the accident was criminal
recklcssness of the conductor and engineer
of the coal train whose duty it was TO
wait at Lamont until the passenger train
passed, unless they had received positive
orders to proceed. This the officers of the
road say was not the case of the conduc-
tor of the coal train named. Bernard had
been running train for Il year, and was
considered iirst-class man. He has not
been seen since the disaster, and it is
thought he has He'd, as the last seen of him
he was in the caboosc of the train which
was uninjured.

\ thoroughly enjoyable entertainment in
every respect was that furnished at the
Opera House Saturday evening. by the
Jennie Carroll troupe. From the first note
sounded by the orchestra to the final drop
ping of the curtain, the attention of the
audience was happily held.
The play presented was "The New
Magdalen," dramatiscd from Wilkie Col
Inns popular novel of that name. The
play is deserving of much commentator,
and the actors who gave it lite, are no less
deselv wing an equal need of praise.
Jennie Carroll has enough life and mag
netism to infuse spirit into anything and
Mark Bates, who took the part of "Julian
Grey"-MIss Carroll representing "Merey
Mcrrick, the heroine-did ample justice
to very difficult role. With reference to
the remainder of the cast, suffice it to say
that they all played with a naturalness,
smoothness, and vigor worthy the highest
appreciation. Wherever this troupe is
''billcd" we bespeak for them good aud
fences, and hope for their early return to
