WHILE the yellow fever is scourging
the South, a perfect epidemic of crime
is reported in the cities of the North
and East. Outrages most loathsome
and foul are frequent, and are multi>
plying. Murders, thefts, alsons and
forgeries are of daily occurrence, until
familiarity with crime is. bunting the
public horror at such deeds. There is
no kind nor grade of sin and infamy
that in the past fortnight has not been
telegraphed from some section all over
the land, and yet so common has this
become it awakens no comment.

It now transpires that the dispatch

that it w.nil he sent free, under a

is one of the most outrageous mono

that would refuse to send a message to

the nominee our hearty support. believing
do so. Mr.. Ryan has made faithful.
diligent and honorable member: and al
ready with two years experience IN Cons

We trust the nomination will be well

the adyices from the different districts
grow more and more in favor OF Col. Jno.

pended upon. he will have the nomination
by the largest majority ever given to any
candidate in the State. The people are
tired of the bungling manner in which the
States affairs have been run. They are
suspicious ot tho dOu bic back action leaps

have taken under Gov. Antbony's admin
istration. aid they are now determined 10

Martin is the man to DO it. He has long
been public servant, and there rests no
stigma against him on the records. Meth

at his door. The people recognize this,
and are testifying their approval by sup
porting him.-ITOpeka Blade.

Messrs. Brown g. Mansanares have been
shipping large quantities to TINS point and
thence by the A. I, & S. 81. 10 eastern
points. Since the recent combination be-
tween the Union Pacific and Denver Il Rio
Grande, the latter road has raised the rate
on wool from Ell Moro to Pueb from IS to
- cents. Messrs. Brown l. Mansanares
wool and sent il over TO La Junta on the
line !of the A. L. Il S. +. to be shipped
from that point. They claim that III ey
can save considerable money by the opera
ton. This looks like a return of Old
