Oregon's new Senator, John Ii.
Mitchell, is IN trouble, because peo-
pie have found out that when he
left Pennsylvania for Oregon he
changed his name to Mitchell, hav-
ing been called Ripple in the Key
stone State. IL was also alleged he
had abused his wife and swindled
various Pennsylvanians. But Mr..
Mitchell, while cOnfessing he had
domestic troubles, which caused him
TO change his name and "go West,
brings ample testimony to prove
that hc never swiniled or mis- used
anybody, and that he has always led
AN honorable life, the worst thing
he ever did being to change his
name. AS he did that solely on &C.
count OF domestic troubles it is no.
body's particular business, aud Mr..
Mitchell will hereafter be kaown as
Senator Mitchell, and the Senate
will probably not reject him because
he was formerly Ripple.

A FEW HISTORICAL PAGES.

Susan d. Anthony is being tried
before the United States circuit
court at Canandaigua, N. Y, for
voting fol- President last fall, at
Rochester. Judge Selden, her conn
sci, argues that Susan did vote, and
that she had as good a right to vote
as any one else, man or woman.
This trial suggests little American
history TO us. Two hundred years
ago 1t was the correct thing to pun
ish all who ate warm dinners on
coll Sundays. Fifty years ago it
was highly proper TO whip dark
complexioned people for looking at
the pictures in spelling book, or
trying to walk toward Canada. Ten
years ago it was still the correct
thing to punish them for eating at
the same table or setting down by
people of bleached complexion.
Now our learned courts are gravely
considering whether any person
who is naturally designed to bear
children, should not be sent to a
penitentiary for voting for Presi-
debt. Whether this will coRtinue
to be an off'ense ten or one hundred
years from now, we don't predict
but implacable history shows that
after all our wonderful achieve
ments the American people have
not progressed alarIningly fast in
the path of common sense and equal
rights. We could stand good deal
more steam and speed in this direc-
ton without any danger. While
we try 4 woman for voting had we
best laugh at our VeDerated fore
fathers for seeing original sin in
warmed-up pork and beans, and
may not our irreverent descendants
smile at the wise conservatism OF
1873, as fairly as we laugh at the
solem Ii tomfoOlery of 200 years, or
our own Old fogyism of fifty and
even ten years ago?

The JORDON FAMILY MURDER

The following details arc tole.
graphed about the murder of AL
mon .IQrdon and family, near Bel
fast, Nj aiue:
James Jordon, man seyenty
years old, has recently conveyed
to his son Almon his farm, worth
S., 900 taking beck mortgage fol
life for the support of himself and
wife. The other son, John T..
was dissatisfied with the arrange.
ment, and probably thought that
by the death of his father the
family property would fall to him.
This is the only cause thus far as
signed. At the time of the muir
der the old people were absent on
a visit. The only inmatrs of the
house were the murdered man, AL.
mon, aged 25, Emma, his wife,
aged %, their children, Ira, aged
q, and little girl aged IL months,
Anna, a niece, John, q brother,
and a hired man. About three
O'Clock in the morning the latter
was awakened by shrieks of the
little boy, and he discovered the
house was on fire. He informed
the neighbors and the flames were
extinguished without much dam
age. The bodies of the father,
mother and infant, who selpt in
the same bed, were. soon found
mangled and so scorched as to be
hardly recognizable. The little
boy who slept in a serb in the
room was severely wounded, but
may survive. The bloody deed
was evidently committed with an
axe, which was found on the prem
ises, The wounds of three of the
murdered persons were inflicted
upon the head and must have
caused instant death. The broth
er, John T., who was immediately
arrested on suspicion, is % years
old, farm laborer and unmarried.
He maintains q sullen indifference,
refusing to answer any questions,
but saying at the proper time he
will defend himself.
