San Prairie Co,aahymdn - One
Of the most horrible and fendish
murders ever perpetrated in civil
zed community was committed near
Edgerton in Rock county on Tues
day last. A little boy about 3 years
old, son of Alexander White, a farm
er living about four miles south
west from Edgerton, was bru.ally
butcheged in his fathers COW stable
by young man named Baumgart.
ner. The little fellow was very
much attached to Baumgartner,
who was employed about the place,
On the morning OF Tuesday last he
had been seen toddling around with
the hired man at the barn, and
about 8 O'Clock, being missed by his
mother, search was instituted, and
she body was found in manger Of
the cow stable, with the throat cut
from ear to ear, and otherwise mu-
tilated. The mude2er had fled in
great haste, on horse back. Pursuit
was Immediately commenced by the
borified and infuriated neighbors,
and it was thought that ii the dend
had been captured by them he
would have been summarily dealt
with.
The murderer was tracked to
Madison, and from there to RoX-
bury, in the northwest part Of the
county, and Wednesday afternoon
he was arrested ip Prairie du Sac,
in Sauk county, and brought to
Madison on the 1890 o'clock train.
The officers in charge Of the iieud
took hin at once to the depot Of
the Nil. & st. Paul railroad, and
left with him on the train bound for
GAINESVILLE, where be xiii be incag-
ce1ated to await his t.ial. Tempo
rary insanity will probably be the
theory Of the defense.

The western Union EnIoIn..

City and Northern Railway, the Central
Union Telegraph Company, and Charles
8. Greely, David NJ. Edgerton, ]. D. Perry
Dwight Tredway, DavidR. Francis and j.
]. Dickey. ''''' %
The ground Of complaint is the proposed
erection Of new telegraph line, under
the auspices named, along the St. Louis
Kansas City and Northern Railway. Snch
an act, the Western Union claims. would
be in violation of their contract Of $50
with the Railway Company, and running
twenty-five years. The construction Of
the new line has already commenced.
The petition was referred to Judge
Thayer, who refused to grant prelim.
mary injunction, saying the court was not
certain OF the validity Of the contract and
II It was valid and should be broken tho
petitioner had other redress. The ruling
was that no injunction would be granted
until the defendants had time 10 appenr
and present their side of the case.

The only ground upon which a change
IA the present financial status Of the
,.nnntrv could be demanded would be that
Il would benefit the laboring masses. The
rich and well to do can take care Of them
selves The fact that the man who earns
sla,o.day has really a great deal more
money than he had at 2 80 per day ten
years ago has been over and over again
shown by the tables Of comparative prices
for the necessaries OF life now and at that
fine 1t is the desperate men in finance
the would be spectators, like Ewing of
ohio, who got heavily in debt at initiation
prices, who want a re.inAation, so that
somebody else can be put in their places
while they sell out.
As for the country it matters little as
,owho is the debtor and who the creditor
class. We are bound to have the two
classes and when one set steps out the
other steps in. We might as well talk
about a country with one political party as
aconntry without a debtor and creditor
class. The two have always existed side
byside. Sometimes oneismore numerous
than the other, Just as political parties pre-
dominate and overshadow esch other, and
when this happens to be the debtor class
wcarc likely to see a panic.
The masses of the people belong to
neither OF these classes, strictly speaking.
They have not the credit to enable them
10 get much in debt, and ofcourse they
are not capitalists. What, therefore, they
are vitality interested in is condition Of
things that will give them employment
payable in good money, Nominal wages
is one thing and remunerative wages an
other. Wages based on deprecated
money basis is fraud on the labor OF the
country. Long ago Daniel Webster pro-
claimed that no invention Of man equalled
deprecated paper money as a swindle
upon labor. Never were truer words
spoken. 1t is the purchasing power Of
money that makes it valuable. And every
laboring man who allows himself to be
sednced into clamor for irredeemablc
paper is an enemy to his own highest in
terests.
To-day We arc getting out of the quag-
mire OF irredeemable paper on to hard
money ground, where all can stand and
labor aud grow prosperous. And despite
all that is said by quacks and demagogues
the country never had brighter business
future dawning upon it than it has to-day.
Our present low prices have been an ines
timable boon to us, in that it has enabled
us to market hundreds Of millions OF pro-
,lucc and merchandise for which other
wise we would have had no market at all.
If we were to follow such demagogues as
Ewing in Ohio, or the men who are mis-
leading the people in this. State, We would
In year bring upon the country untold
calamities, and the laboring masses would
simply be crushed by the blow. OF all
men they are the most vitality interested
in stamping the leresy OF an irredeepable
