II was true personalities had been
avoided, but thought the gentleman
exceedingly sore. Before noticing the
speech his competitor had made, he
would ask him what he proposed to
do should he be re elected. He thought
the want of money was the great con.
sideration to bring back prosperity.
Here Judge Houk made his argument
against allowing banks to pay interest
on deposits and against the National
Banking system, which he denounced
as a monopoly.
If he told Jerry Martin that he was
offered $50, 900, he was a corrupt ras-

Secret Assassinatlons in South America

A Buenos Ayres paper says An
important discovery has just been made
For some time past well-known resi-
dents in San Isidro have frequently dis
appeared without anything being subse-
quently heard of them. A train from
the north recently left case at the San
Isidro station, aud the persons to whom
1T was consigned Immediately applied
for it, and left for farm in the neigh
borhood, on which there is a solitary
house. Rumors of revolution which
had been current led the Justice of the
Peace to be on the qui viUe, and, hap
pening to notice the case, he imagined
it might contain arms for the use of
some of the suspected rebels. He there
fore ordered some policemen to follow
the case and examine it on its arrival
at its destination. 1t was carried into
the house through doorway so narrow
that entrance even one at time was
difficult. They found themselves in a
narrow and short hallway, and, pushing
on, entered a room about five yards
square, in which were a number of
skeletons and bones, and other human
r,mains. On the wall in the end was
an inscription in Italian, meaning So
die all traitors Another small room
was then examined, aud large cellar.
Nothing remarkable was found in the
first, but in the cellar large number
of stilettoes, daggers, knives, pistols,
and other murderous weapons, were
found. On many of these instruments
the same inscription, SO die all trait
ors, was found, and it may not be out
of place TO remember that the same
words were found on the dagger which
some years ago caused the death of the
Italian Consul in Buenos Ayres. The
cellar was also full of bones, and among
them the head of woman was OBJ
served to which the hair still adhered" F"
