Burned Alive for S5,o0O, !,


Last Summer two young men
named Winner and McNutt,p of
Kansas city, obtained an insurance
policy for $4,000 upon the life Of
McNutt, from the Metropolitan In.
suranoe Company. Having obtain
ed the policy they went to Wichita,
Kansas. just before Christmas,
Winner came back to- Kansas city
for the purpose, as appears, of find
ing q young man to be murdered,
whose body was to be palmed off
on the insurance. company as Nc
Nutt's. He visited Mrs. McNutt,
who had remained here and dis
closed the plot to her A young
man named SEWERS was induced to
accompany Winner to Wichita, Oh
promise ofa job Of work, and was
never seen alive after he arrived
there with Winner. He was taken,
according to McNutt's confession,
to the paint-shop used by the mur.
derers, and there drugged with
laadanum. Cords were bound
tightly around bis body, lis CLOTH
ing saturated with kerosene. and
the shop was set on fire. His re-
mains were found amid the hot en-
bers Of the building, and were at
first supposed to be those Of Nc
Mutt. His wife, however in whose
interest the policy was taken out,
became frightened and confessed the
crime. McNutt has been arrested,
and the citizens Of Wichita are now
seriously talking oflynching him.

The Eugene City Journal says:
Large plantations Of hops are being
set in various portions Of the State
this spring. Several tracts have
been planted in this county where
they are found to do first rate, The
demand for roots has been so great
that dealers have been unable to
supply it. California planters have
written here for them, as that State
has not been able to raise sufficient
plants for her own use. There are
thousands OF acres in Lane county
which might be made into the finest
hop yards in the country. .cf

that the proposed mining expedition

The Devil-Inspired Party.

By this time everybody ought to know what
q bad party the democratic party is, but
as the election is very near we think it
proper to call attention to the fact once more
Once strong hopes were cherished that it
would die OF wounds received during the war,
but unfortunately it had a vigorous constitu-
tion and survived. It's conduct since has
been scandalous, and shows mean spirit OF
interference with the other party. We're it
not for the annoying behavior of the democ-
racy everything would SO smoothly; the gov
ernmcnt would be run without trouble by
General Grant and the wise men he has called
around him; Mr.. Conking would govern
New York State with dignity and ease; Mr..
Kellogg would not be annoyed in Louisiana,
and Mr.. Chamberlaine would find South
Carolina charming place OF residence. But
the democratic party will let nothing remain
as it is; it NEEDLES continually in pub
lie affairs, and gives that worthy man,
our President, cause for great uneasiness.
Just now 1t Is particularly disagreeable; in
deed, it behaved disgustingly in Ohio and
Indiana, and the venerable Gerrit Smith ex-
pressed the prevailing opinion at Washington
when he said it was 20 devlish party" and a
"devil-inspired party" and warned the coun-
try of the terrible consequences if it should
ever obtain control Of the government.
Democrats, in fact as viewed by the unfa-
vorable administration eye and by the specta-
cles of Mr.. Smith, are dangerous set OF men.
If all that is charged against them be true
they are not fit to live in this country, if, in
deed, in any country whatever. Anxious to
ascertain how many of these devilish demo-
Gratis there are we referred to the popular
vote for President In 1872 and found

TIE vos AnSIM-BrsMARcK CASE. The con-
troversy which is just now being carried on
between the two celebrated German states
mon will receive an additional spice of ex-
citement by the publication of the American
Detective Agency story which has reached ms
columns. II this report be correct we have
just shipped from our shores for Europe a
young German who has been arrested on the
soil Of the free Republic by virtue of an order
of Bismarck, telegraphed from Berlin. Can
this be possible2 But then the detectives are
fond of sensations and very adroit in their
use of means to obtain notoriety in the press.
The New York herald., 1874-11-02

fessions amount to nothing. We refer tc
the New York democratic platform, be.
cause it is the boldest put forth by
the party in any State, aud It is remarkable
how little there is in it when brought to a
/ practical test The home rule feature is as
cloudy MS the rest. The phrase ''home rule
is borrowed from the political vocabulary OF
Ireland to escape the associations connected
with estate rights, its old synonyme. But
what does it mean when carried into practical
measures? 1t is doubtless directed against
federal intermeddling in the South. Sup
pose then, it has taken this form-"Repeal
the acts of Congress for enforcing the four
teenth and fifteenth amendment" The
democratic party of New York would not
have dared to put SO explicit q demand into
their platform, and there are members of the
they would heavy duty on tea and coffee as
substitute for the protective duty on iron.
The plain truth is that the two political parties
are not separated by clearly defined princi-
pies and explicit practical measures; and,
let to-morrow's elections 60 as they may, they

country on great questions
But the democratic successes, which are
likely to be continued from October, will de-
monstrate q widespread discomfort with the
present administration of the government
The stagnation of business, the enforced idle
ness of multltudes Of the laboring classes, the
deplorable state of the South, the debased and
corrupt condition OF our politics and the too
evident wish of President Grant to maintain
himself in power beyond the limit which has
always been a rule to his predecessors, are the
chief causes of the existing dissatisfaction,
and there seem good grounds for believing
that the result of to-morrow's voting will be
great weakening Of the republican party But
those democrats are probably too sanguine
who expect their party to elect majority Of
the next House of Representatives, although
the long republican ascendancy is likely to be
put in serious peril, and unless the present
Congress shall, at its next and expiring ses-
sion, adopt very decided measures of reform
the republican party will never retrieve what
it loses this year. To-morrow's elections in
twenty-four States will throw food of light
on the strength and prospects of political par
ties, but very little on the great problems Of
practical legislation and government.
The New York herald., 1874-11-02

BEooNo THE QUESTION. The National IA.
publican at Washington which, it is assumed.
speaks for the administration. begs the ques.
ton in demanding to know what journals ara
asking the President to declare his intentions
in regard to third term We reprint it's
article, at the same time deploring the personal
attacks which deface it It will bs
observed that the Repxbkcan gives q list
of the journals which, it says, are making
this demand upon President Grant It ID
significant Of the reckless manner in which
the administration organ is begging that il
omits entirely from its list the Milwaukee
Sentinel, the organ Of Senator Carpenter, and
the Indianapolis Journal, which represents
the views Of Senator Morton. And if the
Presidents organ editor only read the HERALD
with two eyes, it could increase the number
Of interlocutory journals by tens at q time.
The questioners among the people will speak
for themselves tomorrow.

ARTILLERY ExPERInfENTs.-The board ok
officers appointed to conduct the ordnance
experiments at Sandy Hook have obtained
valuable results in their experiments with the
rifed Rodman gun. The Improvements
effected in the gun by the application Of rifle
give reason to hope that the large number Of
smooth bore guns in the possession Of the
United States can be rendered really effective
for defensive purposes against modern iron
clads by the application Of this system.
