NJ. Pennington, an old engineer,
was killed at Marshaltown, Iowa, by
backing train. on the 10Th.
On the 18th inst. ten negroes were
massacred near Waterproof, La.
During marriage ceremony in a
negro church, a piece of plastering
fell from the ceiling causing a panic
and rush to get out of the house. A
dozen or two women and children
were smothered to death.
One day last week near Evansville,
Ind, a drunken man named Neil
stabbed to death a young man named
Garahart. He also stabbed to the
heart Garahart's mother for interfer-
ing to save the life of her son. She
was enciente.
On the 14th inst, at Deadwood, a
Mrs. Lowell went to the saloon of
John Rogers and shot him in the alb
domen, then Rogers, though fatally

ell. The trouble was about mining
claim.
A man named Chinsty. in O., while

According to the Omaha Herald
Major Davis breaches the gospel of
had money" He is free TO DO this"
saith the Herald, mot having indors-
ed either platform OF the two parties
of which he is the candidate for Con-
gress.
We commend this pen portrait Of
their candidate to the calm contem-
plation of our Fiatist friends. Their
candidate for Congress is a sublime
spectacle. After looking him well
over, we advise the Chairman of the
State Central Committee of the Ma
tional Greenback and reform party"
to go and perform some honest work
and labor in the way of cussing Dav-
is. and kicking himself.-State JOura-
al.
And if there are any Republicans
who think of voting for Davis for
Congress because they favor green
backs, they will please take notice
that he is making hard money speech
eS. instead of advocating the green
back doctrine. Just contemplate the
man running on a greenback ticket
and advocating the gold bug doctrines
of Wall. street. The most radical
greenbacker would come nearer vot-
ing his principles by voting the Re-
publican ticket, than to vote for Da-
Wis. The Republican party's doctrine
is to keep every dollar of greenbacks
in circulation up to a standard that
will not depreciate below coin-that
will be interchangeable dollar for dol.
lar with gold and silver. To-day
there are between $500, 600, 900 and
S400, 900 900 of greenbacks In circula-
tion and as good as coin for all practi
cal purposes. The Republicans of the
last Senate passed bill making green
backs legal tender for all debts pub
lie and private, except, of course
debts contracted to be paid in coin.
But the Democratic house of repre-
sentatives refused or neglected to pass
the bill and it did not become law.
Had that bill been passed there would
not now be eVen,the fraction of cent
difference between greenbacks and
gold. The record of the Republican
party regarding the greenback will
bear the closest scrutiny, for it is ab-
solutely good. The true and sensible
green hacker will not vote for a shys'
tering doughface like Davis who
makes herd money speeches on O
greenback platform.
