There are symptoms at Washington Of re-
newcd hopefulness that the Solid South will
disintegrate. It's declared by persons in a
position to be well informed that the
Nationals did not carry the county in
which Memphis, Tenn, is situated, but
that IL was swept by a combination
of Independent Democrats and Republicans.
It is also said that the Democracy Of Missis-
sippi Is about ready to split into warning fac
tons. All of which may be true but it viii
take the whole force of the Solid South to
capture the National Treasury, and bandits do
not, as rule. fall to quarrelling over the
booty until they have got it,
The debate in the British Parliament has
come to an end, and Lord Beaconsheld has an
overwhelming majority, of course. The vote
against Lord HartingtOns resolution OF censure
was 1913, within seven votes OF the whole
Conservative strength in full House, and no
doubt considerably exceeding the number
of Conservative members actually present
The vote 10 favor Of the resolution
was so short Of the nominal strength
of the Liberals. The Government had the
support in the debate of several Of the Home
Rule members. The defeat Of the Liberals is
complete, as it has long been evident it would
be. and the party is so badly demOralized that
so conspicuous a member of it as Mr.. Roebuck
predicted last night that neither he nor Mr.
Gladstone would live to see it restored to
power.
The opening of still another railroad to

detail the marvellous changes which few

in q few years. Some effects of these
improvements have been very curious. Not
the least remarkable is the change in
the character Of the crowd that gathers
there. Notwithstanding the fact that the

The fact that the pet terrier of Mrs. Smith made
no noise when Officer Smith was murdered seems
TO be taken as indication that the murderer must
have been somebody whom the dog knew. But

AN ACCOUNT CT TWO DEATHS M
DAKOTA COUNTY,
Editor Anti-Monopoiist

Editor Anti- MonoDoiist
\ sad occurrence took place in this
neighbOrhOod last week. viz. two of
our citizens died.
One of them was Charley Crashaw
Esq. an honorable and upright man.
At the hour of nine O'Clock on Mon.
day last his immortalised spirit took
flight and left his earthly body to be
housed away in the dust.
And on Monday night Mr.. John
Smith, good citizen and good neigh
bor,was found dead on the road home
to his own house not quite two miles
from the city of st. Paul. He had a
wound on his head; and his right ear
was cut in two. The presumption is
that he came to his death by foul play
in the city of st. Paul, or that some
assassin had followed him and muir
dered him on the road. Mr.. Smith
was man Of very peaceable habits.
lie has left wife and two orphan
children. He went that morning to
st. Paul with a load of wood and was
brought home dead.
l have known Mr.. John Smith for
over twenty years and l have never
known him to have a quarrel with
any person; he was one of the best of
nelghbOrs, and his wife is one of the
best of women. Alas poor woman.
she is left desolate. The only fault
Mr.. Smith had was that when he
went to st. Paul he drank freely and
would come home late at night.
hn r,1, l.
manned in saloons to drown his rea-
son, abuse himself and rob his family
and afflict them. But after all this it
is only the language of Cain the muir
derer of his brother. IAN l my
brother keeper p
1t is rumOred that he was murdered
in the city of st. Paul and loaded on
the team and the team started home
with his corpse; the team got home
at twelve O'Clock at night. That
would leave his death at or between
ten and eleven o'clock on Monday
night. The body was found that night
outside of the city corporation in the
town of West st. Paul. The coroner
was called on but no post mortem ex-
animation was taken on the ground
that there WAS no evidence nor any
suspicion of the murderer. Now if
there Is jnstice to be found the muir
derer of John Smith must he found
and brought to punishment. What
are the police for in the city of ST.
Paul! Why not clear the saloons at
the hour of eight or nine O'Clock and
send every man home l hope the
city authorities will take this matter
in hand.
The commissioners OF Dakota
county will. we hope. offer a reward
for the arrest and conviction of the
murderer. Yours respectfully.

but We should profoundly regret his
restoration to power. The darkest
stain on his clouded administration
was the pardon of the whisky thieves
who had robbed the nation of many
millions of dollars. 1t is difficult to
conceive q reason for such extraordi-
nary clemency that does not throw
suspicion upon the integrity of Grant
himself. And the question naturally
arises where did he get the fortune
