THE BOND QUEsTIoN.-In the excitement of
national politics, European war, and grasshop-
pers, we hope the people Of Donphau County
will not lose interest in tho question Of getting
rid of at least large portion, if not all, of our
load of wrongful bonded Indebtedness. 1t was
principally Atchison people that wheedled us
into voting the bonds. We notice that the Atch-
ison people are now earnestly at work to get rid
of some of their bonded debt, by means Of COM
promise. They are considering the question Of
refusing to levy taxes, of resisting orders Of
Court, vacsting Offices, and even submitting to
temporary imprisonment, rather than pay anoth-
dollar until . reasonable compromise is affect
cd. Donphan should do likewise. Many be-
lieve that not dollar of the bonds were lawful
ly issued, but amajority would be satisfied with
a fair compromise. The holders of the bonds
have already received, in interest, more than
they paid for the bonds. They can now afford to
take for the bonds what they paid for them.

RowdYism in the Name Of Religion.

Rev. Henry Newman wright, pas
tor of the Independent Methopist
Church at Worthwhile, Long Island,
is in trouble. The trustees engaged
him some time ago, but became dis
satisfied with and gave him notice
to quit. He refused to 60, and the
trustees gave him notice that he
would be excluded from the pulpit.
Issue was therefore joined, and both
sides were determined to have the
upper hand. On the succeeding Sun
day Mr.. Wright preached to a con-
gregation ofcuriosity seekers having
obtained an entrance to the church
several hours before the trustees put
in an appearance. On the next Sun
day, however, the trustees were mas
ters of the situation. The night
previous word was sent around that
Rev. Mr.. Wright and his friends
would break down the doors of
the church if refused admit
tance. The trustees and their friends
wished it to be understood that some
heads might be broken if force was
attempted. A large crowd collected
early in the morning, and were we'll
pleased with the subsequent perfor-
nance. When Mr.. Wright and his
friends went up the steps to force the
doors the trustees and their body
guard pulled them down. When
the trustees were at the doors, Mr..
Wright and his hackers dragged
them down. 1t was ludicrous in the
extreme. The trustees came off the
the victors. Last Sunday there was
very stormy time at the church,
and the Village was excited all day
over the difficulty. Sheriff Smith and
posse of deputies preserved order
and dispersed the contending parties.
all of Monday excitement continu-
ed. At about II o'clock the church
was fired and burned to the ground
The contract price for its erection was
$4,000, and about $1,000 had been
expended in improving it since. Al
the time that the fire was raging in
the church persons who were rum
ming to the scene past the residence
of Mr.. Wright discovered fire under
his front stoop, and but for this no
doubt the parsonage would have been
reduced to ashes. Each side charge
es the crime upon the other. Th'
church was fred in several places OF
the inside, and holes were bored il
the floor to give it ventilation.

About to Hang the Wrong Man.

New YORK, May ia st. Louis
dispatch says: James Edmundson,
a half-witted brother of Poindexter
Edmundson, who was to have been
hanged at Bloomfield, Stoddard
county, for killing VIM. Shaw, but
was respited, has confessed that he,
(James) was the murderer. Itseems
that last summer Edmundson had a
difficulty with Shaw, during which
he was struck on the head with a
brick and carried home insensible.
When Edmundson came to his sem
ses he swore to be revenged. James,
on seeing his brothers. wound and
the scar after it had healed, became
frantic, swearing the direst ven-
geance on Shaw.
Last October after Poindexter had
recovered, James Edmundson, dis
appeared, and shortly afterward,
Shaw was found murdered. Close
upon this and before the arrest of
Poindexter, James Edmundson sud-
denly reappeared and told his
brother that he had killed Shaw with
a knife. The elder Edmundson
made the resolution to suffer death
for the sake of saving his weak min
ded brothers. life, He was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to be hung,
the evidence being entirely circum-
stantial. A short time since, James
was taken very sick, and on his
death bed few davs ago confessed
that he himself had done the deed
for which his brother was so soon to
be hanged. Hence the respite.

Gen. Crook and his Indian Campaign.

General Crook some years ago was
sent to the country of the Apaches TO
settle difficulty with those persis-
tently capricious and defiant enemies
of the white man. In a few months
he had the whole tribe at his feet beg
ging for peace. The Apache ques-
tion was tough one, but he set
tied it. The Government
was troubled in 1875 with Black
Hills problem. Daring and resolute
men, encouraged by a semi official
report, went to the Indian country in
great numbers in search of gold. The
Government declared that they must
not go to the Hills, but they went.
After they were there Indians threat
ened, but not miner budged. The
Government ordered them out, but
not miner went. This was tough
question, and General Crook was sent
to settle it. And he did. In q few
weeks the miners moved from the
points where there had been cause
for irritation, and the Government
was relieved from embarrassment.
+ Then came the Sioux war.
1t was heavy contract, and the cir
cumstances and incidents of the open
ing campaign were discouraging
enough. But General Crook persis-
ted. The Sioux have surrendered or
are seeking opportunity to surrender,
Judged by results, the work of Gen
eral Crook has been successful to- an
extraordinary degree. Results best
geuage success in any field, and peo-
pie would rather read of the uncon.
ditional surrender of a dangerous en-
emy than a great battle in which the
enemy had been defeated. We may
not be clear as to the methods the
old Indian fighter employs, but we
know that he accomplishes what he
sets out to accomplish, and this is
important. General Crook deserves
great credit for the manner in which
he has handled the Sioux question:

Rapid Growth of aTown in the Black
Hills.

In an official letter to Mr.. Barber,
Third Assistant Postmaster General,
Mr.. r. o. Adams, Postmaster at
Deadwood. gives some details re-
specting his Office, which shows the
rapidity with which this new town
has sprung into existence, where, a
year ago, soldiers were engaged in
driving adventurous miners from
the country. Mr.. Adams says, un-
der date OF May 10th: when l ar
rived here, on the 10Th ultimo,
found six thousand letters awaiting
me and an excited populace awaiting
them. To do anything with them
seemed impossible. l had no room,
no clerks and no facilities for any
thing; but j finally secured a place
which just answered the purpose,
and that was all. In the meantime
the largest case could get contained
only thirty pigeon holes, which was
not Of much account in general de-
livery of the size of this Office. Un-
der these inconvenience, / found an
accumulation, on the Both of April,
of 3,029 uncalled for letters. The
manager of the oldest paper, Mr..
Merrick, was absent from the camp,
and the facilities for publishing list
were so limited that it was impossi-
Bile, and to advertise by hanging out
a list among these miners was out of
the question. Mr.. Merrick kindly
took half of the matter when he re-
turned and published a list on Sun
day, and many of them were de-
livered. am doing my utmost to
supply the wants of the people. I
have now general delivery case
containing over six hundred pigeon
holes and three hundred and eight
glass boxes. I have a building in
course of erection, and hope to be in
it within ten days. The building is
% bv 40 feet, and will have over five
hundred boxes, which 1 think will
be rented in one day after they are
finished. This is as large an Office
as have means or can procure the
lumber to build now. but / am con-
fident it will have to be enlarged.
