OvERREACHING-If the friends of religion, temper
ance or any social reform, wish to- do their cause
more harm than all its enemies possibly do, let
them run 1t into politics They will then secure an
organized opposition, and intensity feeling to such
a degree that it will be next to impossible to gain
any recruits from the opposite party. To-day, the
Blue Ribbon cause is but little better off than it was
the day Mr.. Campbell opened his meetings here.
When he commenced work, there were but few who
did not wish his success, even all did not go
into it. But the thing had not been running three
days. before calculatins freely made to turn the
movement to political account. There some men
who would try to make good-sized funeral politi-
cal machine to carry ont their personal interests.
Such individual is the presiding genius of the Troy
Bulletin. The Blue Ribbon organizatin took poit-
cal turn the morning after the editor of the Bulletin
put ON the badge He heartily seconded by three
or four Others who thought they in the excite
men. bonanza that they could work to their own
advantage. Aspiring gentlemen who did not at first
look upon the reform with favor became suddenly
convinced that it going to be big thing, and the
lecture field ut once bloomed with eloquence. The
day became apparent that the Blue Ribbon was to
be made political emblem, that day it began to
wane; and the temperance cause has received more
damage from the directed zeal of designing adher-
ents than all the saloons in town could have done it.
There are some men under whose leadership the peO-
people will not train matter how good the cause
that they attempting to prostitute to their own
purposes.

THE Worries NUMBERING mentioned the murder
of Charles Vores last week. Since that time,
piciously effort has been made in St. Joseph
chiefly in the columns Of the Ga.ete, but supposed to
have been dictated from another source to confirm
the impression that Worries committed suicide. But
we learned, some days ago, that strong suspicious
rested upon his companion, young Couch, the muir
derer, and circumstances related, which, If cor
rect points strongly in that direction. Worries had
charge of the horses instead of Couch. The brake
man who suspected was not that part of the
train, at the time. When Worries missed, Couch
manifested concern whatever. and did not even
take steps the body investigate the af
fair but left it for others to do. And it is said that
Coneh made persistent efforts to get papers that Vor
les had containing authority to dispose of the horses.
We understood that detectives closely on the
watch, working the matter up. The intelligence
now comes that Couch has been arrested at Wichita,
which would indicate that sufficient clue had been
obtained 1t will he remembered. that all the incl
dents and circumstances tending to show that Worries
committed suicide were derived from statements
made by Couch.
