FROG CATCHING.-T The murder Of
Jennie Bonnet, near San francisco II
few days since, is another ofcrimes which
seem to defy justice for the time being,
though the old adage that "murder will
out" is in many instances verified. Jen-
ME was shot through her window while
in the act Of retiring for the night. The
tragedy may pass into the history of
crime like that Of Mary Rogers, "The
Beautiful Cigar Girl" mystery which
is unsolved to this DAY. But poor Jen-
ME will not be known by any such highly
romantic appellation she will be the
Frog Catcher" For years past she has
earned her living by catching frogs and
the better to follow this employment
which seem to us so strange one, she
discarded the dress of her sex and al
ways appeared in male attire. 1t is an
Old saying that one-half the world do
not know how the other half live, and
certainly frog cathing as means of
livelihood in this country is one Of the
last employments which we should think

The REPUBLICAN PARTY.-I, for

great power of the Government from
the hands which have held and sup
ported it to the hands still reeking with
the blood Of its brave defenders. | do

which the Republican party has done /;
but when the Democratic party is held
up as the party of reform, l am remind
ed of the decrepid old lion in the fa-

what he could not gain by strength -
The spirit and tendency of the Repub-
lean party is towards reform. 1t is

NOTABLE FACT.-It is n significant
fact that no American who ever opposed
the prosecution Of a war in which his
country was involved, with a solitary ex.
ception, was ever elected to the presiden-
cy.
Take. the Revolutionary War Of 1916
Many men Of high social position, talent,
and integrity. and estImable citizens in
every other respect, joined the anti-war
or Tory party. The name Tory was not
mt that time one Of reproach, but signiied
one who WAS in favor of the established
order Of things but long before the wal
closed the word Tory was an epithet ol
reproach as much as the modern Term
"scalawag" is to-day, and the gentle.
manly and cultivated Tories of the Rev
olltion in New York, Pennsylvania Vir.
ginia, and the Carolinas sank into politi-
cal insignilicance. After the war, to
prove the charge Of Toryism OIL candi-
date, was to ruin him.
A still larger, more influential, cultiva-
ted, and wealthy class of politicians OPP
posed the war oflSl2. They were known
MS the leaders of the Federal party. They
were soon dubbed "Blue- Light Federal
ists," and were swept out of existence,
Several of them aspired to the Presiden-
cy afterwards, but were ingloriously de-
tented, with the one exception alluded to,
Buchanan, who although Federalist
when a young man, quickly saw his blum
der, and went over to the Democracy.
Then came the Mexican war. The
Whigs, led by Mr.. Clay, believed that
inc war was wrongfully begun, but their
patriotic instincts prompted them to
throw themselves in the front Of the con
test f; they got most Of the laurels and the
glory Of the war, and elected Gen. Tay-
lor Preident.
Opposition to the war for the Union not
only sounded the political death-knel OF
the brightest intellects Of the Democratic
party, as Breckinridge, Davis, and Ben
jtmin, but Overwhelmingly defeated Gen.
Mcclellan and Gov. Seymour fer the
Presidency. Even Mr. Greeley's integ-
iity. talents, and wide fame as a Union
sditor did not save him from defeat, sim
ply because he was the candidate of the
party which opposed the war for the I'm
ion. AS leader Of the anti-war party
of 1861, Gov. TiIden may read his own
doom in the fate OF the Tories of '76, the
.BlueLights of 1872, and the Copperheads
of S61.-L0uiSUiue Commercial.

A MOMENT OF DANGER.-A gang of
railroad hands were crossing high tres
tie work in Marin county when they
were surprised by an approaching train.
There was no timo for retreat and their
only chance was in dropping under the
track and holding on by the cross ties
while the train thundered over them. All
escaped safely except one Chidaman who
could not hang on. He fell a distance of
eighty feet and was seriously injured.

In the North the Democratic journals
labor earnestly to satisfy the Union Dem
ocrats that Tildens sympathies during
the war we're enlisted on the side Of the
Union cause. In the South, on the 9TH
er hand, Democratic journals are silent
on this subject from the fact his popular
ity would be damaged by making him
appear as anything but a rebel sym
pathizer. He is "Slippery Sammy" on
the loyal issue just as he is on the fnan.

while in the East he claims to be hard

SOUTHERN OPINIoN.-We had talk
with Southern friend the other day up
on the subject of the tone of sentiment in
that section as reflected by the press
He thought that the selection from South
ern papers which were going the rounds
of the Republican press, were not fair ex-
pressions of Southern opinion. but were
selected from ultra journals which did
not truly reflect the sentiments Of those
communities where they were published,
We are promised some papers which
shall reflect the true Southern sentiment
upon the disputed questions, and will be
glad TO find that we are mistaken.

Tux Sioux W4R.-Reports have been
received that two battles have been fought
with detached villages of the Sioux in
both of which the whites were successful.
Colonel Miles ATTACKED and destroyed a
village of l3l lodges, the doughty war
Tiors taking to AglE at the first onslaught
of the troops. Miles is blamed for hav-
ing been too precipitate in making the
attack, it being thought that if he had
waited and informed Crook Of the dis
covery of the village, their combined
forces could hare easily killed or captur-
I'd its entire population. A later report
has it that Crook about ten days ago sur
prised camp of 800 Indians and killed
them all, The Indians are reported rs
desirous of giving themselves up to the
Government. and General Sheridan sends
a dispatch that two chiefs with 10 people
have surrendered.
