THE COHEN RIOT.

WashingtonsSept 21.-This morning a
gang Of Cohen's followers visited the brick
yards of Childs and the Washington compa-
ny, where they prevented the men from
going to work. The mob, composed ofcolored
men, wa reinforced shortly aftes by
about fifty others. The police were soon at
the scene, and dispersed the crowd, arresting
the leader, . negro named George WASH
ington. Some men resumed work ; others
Joined the mob, which started for other
points, but was driven off by the police.
The entire reserves at the police head
quarters, and the troops at the arsenal are
ready to move at 3 moments notice.
Cohen and his followers made several at
tempts in the afternoon to create strikes in
the northern part Of the city, but the police
prevented any disorder. He started on a
general tour with . mob Of one hundred
nesroes, and visited Hills bottom" thence
proceeding to Fourteenth street, where y

several Of the workers fell into line. Thus

hoeting vigorously until reaching Seventh

There was = short struggle but the bataas
Of the police triumphed, and the mob fisd

THE MURDERER, TOM LAwroH.
Deadwood Times.

The following is an accurate description
Of the murderer, Tom Lawton, the escaped
confederate of Dye in the Tultis murder.
1t it desired that the press throughout the
state and the adjoining states and territories
copy this description, that the ends of jus.
tice may de reached: Tom Lawton is about
five feet seven or eight inches in height ;
slim and trim built; almost black hair and
moustache-the moustache is understood to
have been shaved of; complexion fair; deep
set dark eyes; face inclined to be sharp, par.
ticularly the nose; weighs about 40 pounds;
age about twenty-six, inclined to be genteel,
and generally is we'll dressed; he sometimes
wore a gray suit, and at other times a BLUSH
or brown coat with the corr ers cut round;
he is %lncliaed to drink freely.

The Bismarck Tribune makes use of the
plea advanced q week or two ago by the
Vermillion Republican, namely: would
1t not be better to let those who are dispos.
ed to growl do so without rebuke, for growl-
ing may relieve thems" This suggestion
is made with a political meaning. Its in.
depreciation is, permit US to assail the re-
publican candidate to our healt's content, as
the privilege. may do us good. Now We
suppose the Tribune and the Republican
will do this without any permission, but it
does not follow that the balance of the party
must sit with sealed tongues and make no
defence of the man whom it proposes to
honor with its suffrages. A child denied
some indulgence upon which lis heart is
set goes off into the corner to pout and nut.
ter its indignation in words sufficiently
strong to reach the psternal ear. In its
immature reasoning it believes 1t has the
right to go on undisturbed in this manner.
and because of its tender years it is frequent
ly permitted to thus exhaust its wrath. But
it is not to be expected that a full grown
newspaper will seriously advance the plea
of the toddling infant and from the lugu-
brious depths of its disappointment racked
heart ask for a suspension of public opin-
ion while'i II pouts yeta little while longer
and says wicked things about those whose
aid and comfort it seems to want. Party
support, to possess any streBgth must be
outspoken and decided. Sycophantic sub.
servience to the desires of the opposition,
coupled with professions Of friendship
for those whom it seeks to destroy, is more
to be despised than the honest, open work
Of a multitude of strong fighters. 1t has
not yet occurred to US that rer ublicans e n
orally are anxious for the return o. these pa
pers to the republican fold. They are GER
tainly not to be coaxed back. 1t is vain
for them to argue that an effort is being
made to read them out of the patty. By
their very acts they have placed themselves
where they stand. To give aid and comfort
to the enemy is in itself treason.

SHALL WE BECOME A STATE
Grand Forks Plaindealer.

This is the question which is now receiv-
ing the consideration Of the citizens of Dako-
ia. We hear no more about the division of
the territory, all seem to be working for one
great end, the admission as . state. This
We believe to be the proper thing to do; if
we divide it is probable that the present
generation will never see''eithear of the terri
tories admitted and it will only give us the
double expense of supporting two sets of
officers; % a state, We would have q voice
in the affairs of the natiou; We will have
two U. s. Senators and at least one repre-
sentative, and will have the election Of our
own officers. We have sufficient population
to ask for admission, and no doubt . move
will be made to bring it about at the coming
eession of congress.

Dear Sir Your /" Vegetine" has been doing
wonders for me. Have been having the ChHls

nothing giving me relief until l began the use Of
your Vegetine, it giving me immediate relief, to-
ming up my system, purifying my blood, giving
strength whereas. ill other medicines weaken.
ed me, and filled my system with poison; and l
am satisfied that if families that live in the ague
districts of the south and west would take Veg
etine two or three times a week, they would not
be troubled with the !" Chiils or the malignant
Feyers that prevail at certain times of the year,
savedoctors' bills, and live to a good old age.
Respectfully yours.

ALL DISEASES OF THE BLooD.-If Vegetine
will relieve pain, cleanse, purify. and cure such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health,
after trying different physicians, many remedies.
suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, il
you are q sufferer. you can be cured? Why is
this medicine performing such great cures? 1t
can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier.
The great source of disease originates IN the
blood; and no medicine that does not act direct
ly upon it. to purify and renovate, has any just
claim upon public attention.

DOOMED MoLLIEs.-Another chapter in
the history of the Mollie Maguires is near
ing its completion by the conviction al
S%unbury, Pa, of Peter McManus and
John O'Neil for the murder OF Frederick
Hesser. and judging from present appear.
ances there will soon be some more start
ling developments, as Mrs. McAlanus, the
wife OF one of the condemned men, Is I'M
derstood TO lave said that in case her hus-
band goes 10 the gallows she will furnish
some more candidates for hemp, an r
ment by the popular method of squealing.
As her husband was a Body Master OF
high standing during a part OF the Mollie
reign it is thought she will be able to car
ry her threat into execution.
There is a feeling of sympathy for
ONeil, who is rather a young and rot a
bad looking man; and, basing their asser-
ton on the well known fact that he is not
of Il strictly sound mind, many have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction at his fate, and o
genuine pity for himself and family. He
does not appear to realize the position in
which he is placed, and when questioned
about il gives no decided answer. II is
said that he is sane enough to know that
his act was an unlawful one, and should
be dealt with accordingly. McManus.
when interviewed, SEEMED TO take rather a
philosophical view uf the matter, and, SO
far, has not expressed any dread of his ul-
innate doom. He says that as they have
got him down now, he might as well make
the best OF il while he has the chance. a
motion for q new trial will be made at the
next term of court, but ii has been stated
that Judge Rockefeller will refuse it.

ILLUSTRATED by PIcTUREs.-One OF
the great contrasts between the School
Books used by the fathers and mothers OF
the land, when young, and those now used
by the children, is the use Of pictures. AS
a curious instance OF illustrating the mean
ing of words by pictures. look at the three
pictures of a ship on page 175l of Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary these
alone illustrate the meaning of more than
one hundred words and teims far better
than they could be defined by any descrip-
ton in words.
