THAT DEPRECATED SILvER.-The general de-
struction that was to follow the passage of the
silver bill, does not seem to be putting in an
appearance. Last week, already, $4,000 silver
dollars were Turned out at the mint, and the
work win 60 on, to the full capacity Of the mint;
but still the demand is greater than the supply.
large proportion of the earliest issue will be
taken up in the payment Of dnties; and those
Eastern importers, who were SO h0rrified at the
prospect of . deprecated dollar of % cents, are
even paying premium for these same dollars,
and glad to get them, at that. The Western
swindlers will not be permitted to handle any Of
the dollars, until the Eastern "honest money"
men arc supplied with all the base stuff that
they can use.
One of the bad results Of the passage of the
silver bill is reported from Europe, in the
shape of a sale of United States bonds to the
amount Of five or six millions of dollars, by Ger
man holders. Now, if these bonds were sold,
they must have been bought by somebody else,
SO there is somebody that is willing to invest in
United States bonds. What concern is it of the
United States, how many of the outstanding
bonds are sold, or at what price: She doesn't
lose anything by it. II the holders should send
eheiu All oacA 10 our government ohet"S "
take half price for them or TO give them away,
or would even throw them into the fire and Luru
them mp, this Government could stand it. But
We don't anticipate that United States bonds
will 60 begging. Those European chaps will
be as eager to keep them as the Eastern fellows
are to get the bogus silver dollars.
II The Democratic organ of this County re-
marks that the Democrats and Greenbackers
will carry Kansas, next Fall. SO, that's what
the Greenback Clubs are being formed for, is it
to unite with the Democrats to beat the Re-
publcansi Inasmuch as the Republicans of
Kansas are as strongly in favor Of greenbacks
as the Democrats are, why not say that the Re-
publicans and Greenbackers will beat tbs Dem
ocratsi Why is it that all these combinations
seem to be taken for granted as uniting in oppo-
sition to the Republican party! Perhaps some
of the Republicans who are going into the Green
back movement, will look about them, aud see
what they are expected to do, before giving
themselves entirely away.
How CoSsIsTENT.-Senator Ingalls, voted to demon
etze silver and now he makes an excellent speech
and votes to remOnetize silver The first thing the
people know he will be one of the strongest green
back men in kansas-1roy Bulletin.

Williams house, Belor mounted one
of his best horses and went of to q
neighbours two miles distant, and was
helping him to saw board timber
when he was arrested at nine o'clock.
Mrs. Martin, though nearly dead from
the horrors of the night, was able to
give the alarm at an early hour.
and crowd of indignant and excited
citizens were quickly on Belor's track
and soon arrested him.

| He was taken before a magistrate,
snd besides Mrs. Martins own state
ment the proof against him was over

! ficulty that cool-headed citizens saved
Belor from being lynched at once.
Meanwhile Martin, the husband had
returned and was crazed over the reci-
| tai Of the outrage upon his wife, and
he was only prevented by force from
killing Belor on the spot. AT six
o'clock Constable Arnold and five well
armed men started with Belor for the
Shelbyville Jail, twelve miles distant.
BY advice of citizens he avoided all
the more public thOroughfares. After
travelling through the woods he sue

when a large crowd of men, some of

parts of the town. The clans at once

with Belor and hanged him. All the

none to pass until BelOr was in their

hanging by small halter rope and
was strangled to death, the rope hav-

his neck,
SCENE AT THE FATAL TREE.
The body presented a CHASTITY and

morning sunlight. A black and swol-

eyes gazed piteously in death through
thin white rims of half open lashes,

and purple with stagnated blood.
THE JURY's VERDICT.
The verdict of the jury was "Died
from the hands Of persons unknown"
The swift and just, though lawless
punishment of BelOr may be charged
to technicalities and delay of the law.
BelOT came into the Thompson Creek
community as a tramp. Whence he
came no one ever knew. He refused
to give any information about himself.
He was five feet eight inches high,
weighed l40 pounds, had a repulsive,
sensual face, was thirty-five years old,
and had been regarded with suspicion.
It was believed that he had negro
blood in his veins, though he passed
as white man.

Some sharp words were spoken last night
in both houses of the British Parliament
against the address to the Queen on calling
out the reserves, but no amendment was pro-
posed. Mr.. Gladstone called Lord Salisburys
circular contentious statement, worthy
only ''the meanest attorney" and advocated
the adoption of Germanys proposition for
preliminary conference. But the most
noteworthy circumstance was the appear
ance of Lord Derby in denunciation
of the governments position. He declared
that England was not drifting but rushing
into purposeless war;" that in any case
an alliance with Austria wasvery doubtful
that the governments present action was
taken not because it now believed war to be
necessary, but only to take advantage OF
the existing war feeling, and that the only
real issue now between England and Rus
sin, all that stood in the way Of q settle
ment, was 'the fear of the loss Of dig
nifty" on either side This account Of
England's attitude comes from man who
until within few days was in charge of the
whole official negotiation on Engand's
part and who must therefore be held to be
fully acquainted with what he criticises.
His accession to the opposition in this
downright and outspoken manner will
greatly strengthen the peace party, as it
must deepen the impression already felt as
to the insincerity of the government.

remark but, as the courts have ac-
complished that desirable end, is it
expedient for Governor Wells to use such
arguments in an application to have his
fortunate associate appointed Collector in

indicted? We scarcely believe that the
President will be disposed to yield to the

Happily the adventures of Mrs. Tom-Ri-
Jon did not end with their illustration OF
the coarse and unpleasant phases Of city
life They gave, it is true, in their first
phase glimpse of the temporary triumph
of malignity and the ruffianly impulses of
masculine intolerance. They showed how
in O civilized city the streets are infested
by men who have 80 little of the spirit of
civilization in them as to fancy that u woman,
not dressed in the customary garb Of her
sex, is not entitled to protection, respect or
courtesy; as if oil the good will and GAL
lantry of man in general were bestowed
upon skirts and crinoline and that sort of
habordashery, and not upon the woman
within them. But in n later phase of the
adventures Of this woman of startling name
and uncommon attire we get another part
of the story-a demonstration that tho city
Is also the home Of the chivalric spirit; that
it abounds in men ready to como to the
rescue Of woman in trouble, and that, in
short, it may fairly claim that against its
unpleasant elements it can weigh other elc-
ments that will fully restore the equilibrium.
Mrs. Tom-Ri-Jon's fine was paid by q gen.
tleman Of generous impulses described in
the reports as a doctor and a philanthropist;
honorable titles both; and we trust his
prescriptions and his kindly acts may
always be as effectively adapted to the cir

At last the Treasury Department has
fatty refused to pay the Pennsylvania
