Tie Great Hanging Scene

The greatest hanging that ever oc
Cured in the United States took place
in 1868 in the town of Mankato, Blue
Earth county, Mimi, which is situated
near the southern border of the state
Ia the previous year great 1ndlaD
war had ragged on the frontier, during
which over 700 whites, mostly women
and children, were massacred, and on
the defeat of the Indians and at the end
of the war 3U3 of the savages were
tried by court martial for murder and
condemned 10 death President Lin
coin interfered, however, to prevent
such Wholesale inf1iction of the death
penalty, and respited all but 80, who
were hanged together IN the presence
Of vast crowd which had assembled
from all directions to witness the execu
ton. A correspondent of the Cinciu
natl Commercial has recently convers-
ed with witnesses of the terrible scene,
who gave him full account OF the
affair. When the dealt. warrant was
read to the SO condemned Indians thew
received their sentence very cooIIy.
Not fully comprehending the import
Of the instrument, at Il e close OF the
first paragraph, they gave hearty
grunt Of approval but as The reading
proceeded, and they discovered the
drift of the doucment, they retrained
from further manifestations of approba-
ton, though they smoked their pipes
composedly to the end
Nearly all of them maintained a
stoical demeanor up To the tune of a
their execution, except when the cps
were placed on their heads. These
caps were made long and looked like
meal bags, but be ug rolled up only
coverei the forhead. allowing their
painted faces to be seen. When they
had been adjusted on few OF the In
dams, so that each could see the IN
disnifsd and grctesque effect on the
others, they appeared TO be exceeding
ly Inundated and disheartened. But
they are described as having gone
cheerfully to the gall0ws, some even
jostling and crowdipg the others in
their eagerness to be first. AS they as
ceDded the scatfOld the death song was
started, and when they ali got Up the
noise of their deep swelling voices was
fearfully impressive. When the scat
fold fell and left the 80 bodies dang
ling in the air, several OF the condemn
ed were seen indeavoring to clasp each
other hands. One young fellow man
aged to get a cigar under his cap and
smoke ed it to the last. The Indians
respited by President Lincon we're sent
to an island 10 the Mississippi near Da-
venport, where they were closely con-
tiued for year, after which they were
transferred to barren reservation IN an
extremely cold region, where they were
turned loose to freeze or starve.

Democracy not Dead.

We hear great deal said these DAYS
ofthe willingness of the Democrats to
give up their party name, disband and
with dlsafected Republicans assume a
new garb and organize another nartv
10 those who take stock IN this kind
OF talk we would call their at,.nt;on
to tile following article from the New
York World, paper which it cannot
be denied has the authority to speak
Tor the Democracy of the country
The most active spirits in this con-
troverSy consist of those who assune
that tie Democratic party is bankrupt
aud wish 10 be appointed administers
tors Of its assets, What the, advocate
is an abandonment of the Democratic
name, dissolution Of the organization
and the construction OF a new party on
some fresh basis, broad and liberal
enough to include all the dissatisfied
Republicans. This proposal is put for
ward by Journals that either never ac
knowledged, or last year abjured allie
glance to the Democratic party, and it
has elected little comment out of their
circle except by the reg ular Republican
journals. Iu ether words, the Demo
cratic organization is to be diss live
and Its name abandoned by the men
who do not compose it i his is very
much as il the Puseyites should amuse
themselves by inventing and discuss a.
project for dsbanding the Catholic
Church and admitting its members ill.,
To some new but as yet undiscovered
communion.
The advocates of a new party prate
a good deal about " Progress, - but they
show how little they understand the
conditions of progress, by their propo-
sal to forge new cast-ron creed to
bind by their crude, half formed ideas
of to-day party action in 1876 The
Democratic party. spurnlng these would
be leaders and can't be statesmen, puts
forth as Its motto-the treeSt thought
and discussion mp to the moment when
it is necessary to act 1t would be alb
surd to act in 1876 on the imperfect
knowledge of 1873.
These outsiders who rant for dis
solution Of tie Drmucratic OF yaniza-
ton, would soon le"rh. ii they could
get access t. u Dem cratic sud ence,
that the party "Is never less inclined
to adj pt or tolerate their notions. There
is a general conviction that last years
campaign was an egregious hlunder
Instead OF being prepared tn go further
In the same direction, the party racoliS
from every experiment Of similar
kind That Ill starred experiment nev er
had anything to recomm eud it but an
impatient hope of success. The party
will not again foolishly burn its fingers
by putting them into the same fire.
He must be verdant politician indeed
who THINKS this a promising time to
convince the democracy that they have
anything to gain by pIoughing with a
strange heifer. If they had failed last
year in spite { f good management and
strict party fidelity, this kind OF appeal
would seem more specious. We say
to the quack we have taken your med
icine once, and do not doubt at all that
the larger dose you now propose would
render further medicine unnecessary
by ending both disease and patient.

THE POPE DYING.

The cable sends the news hat Pope
Plus the Ninth, aged 81 years, and who.
has been pope twenty-seven years, is
dying. He has been very infrm for
some time. and the announcement OF
his death would cause no special sur
prise 10 the Catholic Church
throughout the world the question OF
his successor is one of great solicitude.
The choice will be made by the Cardi-
mails, numbering about seventy in all,
and who represent the principal Catho-
lie countries on the globe. A ia
thirds majority of the College of Car
Ginals is necessary to elect. Since
1922 every Pope of Rome has teen an

ENGLISH CoLoNIsTs. The pioneers
of two thousand English farmers des-
tined for Minnesota, arrived in New
York last week to the number of about
100 stslwart husbandmen. They were
under charge Of Mr. George Rodgers,
OF Somersetshire. The track of land
for these settlers IS twenty-four miles
long aud twelve wide. situated IN the
Red River region, twenty miles west
of Brainerd and $50 miles from Du
luth. The land is chiefly prairie with
plenty of timber within a sort dis
tance. Among the colonsts there is
fair sprinkling of different trades,
and the entire 1000 are expected to
be IN America before the end of the
year. The Northern Pacific Railroad
will furnish the settlers with temporary
lodgings out on the prairie.

We do not believe that there is any
natural enmity between the railroads
and the people. Neither do the people
think so; for every mile Of railroad in
the West has been built by their coun-
teLance and approval, and nearly every
nile by their direct aid. In Wiscon-
sin, as was wisely said by the Sentinel
the other day, there have been few or
80 complaints of such extortions and ra-
pacity as form the subject of universal
complaint against the Illinois and Iowa
railroads which lead into Chicago We
advise the people to be patient and to
remember that, but for the railroads
their farms would not be worth one,
fifth their present value, and they
would be compelled to haul their pro-
duce by OK teams to distant markets.
We advise the railroads that grasp
ing, greedy and extortionate policy will
breed revolution in which no rights
OF property will be regarded as sacred.
We blieve that both the people and the
railroads of Wisconsin are at present
disposed to accept this temperate coun-
sci, and to practice what we have called
"the golden rule Of Live and Let
Live So long as that is understood
and respected, all will be well with the
people and with the railroads, except
as to snch adverse fortunes and disas-
tiers as frowning providcnces causel to
descend upon Mmuakcc Nc,cs
