Criminal.

Nj. l.. MoRRAN's horse was stolen, with
saddle and bride at Morris. Ill. The
horse and the thief were captured at New
ark. The thief proved to be boy about
IL years Old, named III. j Stevenson. The
boy goes to the reform school. @
VoGUs, who killed his father at Koko-
mo, Ind, some time ago, and was after
ward sent to an adjoining county to avoid
a mob, has been taken back to the scene
of his crime for trial. He is we'll guard
ed, for it is feared that 4 lynching party
may yet capture him.
ABOUT the 18th of last August all Old
German farmer, named VIM. Rozier, liv-
ing in Furnas county, Nebraska, was
missed, and search being made, his body
was found in manure pile An ANALYSIS
of his stomach showed that he had been
poisoned by strychnine. Frank D. White,
who had been living with him, had appro-
priated some of his personal property, and
told contradictory stories. He was ar
rested and on trial last week at Beaver
City,s itJwas shown that lie had purchased
otryohnine. The jury, after being out
twenty-four hours, returned verdict OF
guilty of murder in.the second degree, and
on Monday, Judge Gaslin sentenced the
prisoner to the penitentiary for life at hard
laborF THE general opinion is that he
should have bsen CONVICTED in the first de-
gree. People talked strongly of lynching
him but wiser counsels prevailed.

THE GRU81BLING SOLID SOUTH.

Now, the solid south and this allied north pre-
sent very curious records. You know they had
the house and the senate and the committees, and
more votes in both houses and everything, and one
would suppose that they would be entitled to
some show; but the moment they wanted-I mean
the solid sOuth-wanted to choose a speaker, why
shouldn't they? l don't know why they shouldn't
choose speaker. The law of our government is
that the majority in a party should rule. They
were not allowed to choose a speaker. They must
always have a northern democrat for speaker. and
so on in various measures. war claims and others.
Oh, no. they must be silent. And then they turn
around to this northern democracy and say Why
not you the north2 We thought you were the
north" Oh, don't make such terrible mistake as
that. We are not the north. If YOU undertake
TO show your eOunsels and your practices, you will
find out who the north is. We are only the small

How the Failure of One Business House
Carried Down Two Others.

Much excitement was OccasiOned in
trade circles yesterday by the announce
ment of the failure of several well
known houses. Robinson, Lord & Co.
wholesale dealers IN wood and willow
ware at AZ Chambers street, the lead
ing house in the trade, announced their
suspension, occasioned by the failure Of
Lord & Robinson, of Baltimore, with
which the firm was identified. The
Baltimore house was forced to suspend
by the sudden failure Of the tobacco
firm Of Oliver & Robinson, of Richmond,
Va, and at 78 Warren street, this city.
The three failures were entirely unex-
pected, as the firms were not known to
be embarrassed in any Wav.

The Two Men.


The grave objection that was
urged against Hancock at the-outset
that he is professional soldier
and nothing more--stiIl stands as
one Of the chief reasons why the
American people should not be will
ing to intrust to him the admins
tration of the civil government. A
professional military ofhcer-one
who was educated into military life
and has never for day been out of
its very apt to be undemocratic
in his disposition and tyrannical in
his methods.
General Hancock is utterly mex
peri enced in civil life-has never
mingled with the people-know8
nothing Of finance or craftsmanship
is naturally and by lifelong train
ing and association aristocratic and
arbitrary-has nothing in common
with the common people--and, if he
were at the Executive head Of the
Government, would of necessity be
either o self-willed autocrat-a little
despot in epaulettes--or mere tool
in the hands of the leaders of the
party which elected him, and we all
know what they are, and what use
they would make of such an instru-
ment Of power.
When men--even rock-rooted
Democrats-shall come seriously to
consider the danger, or, at all events,
the grave impolicy, of elevating this
style of man to the Presidency of
the Republic, we cannot but believe
they will, as patriots and good
shrink from taking so
perilous risk, especially when they
know, as all candid and intelligent
citizens by this time must know,
that his competitor for that high
office, James A. Garfield, is a practi-
cal, broad. minded statesman of great
Il man OF culture, con-
science. and undoubted patriotism,
whose qualifications for the respons-
ible position of pilot of cur ship of
State no one can seriously question.
AS the time OF the election APP
men who think more Of
the real interests of their country
and the real honor Of their Govern
ment than they do of mere party,
viii, we trust, give due weight to
the facG that Hancock would, at the
very best, be a hazardous expert
ment in the Presidential o flee,
while Gartield's many years of active
and honorable participation in the
,ivil affairs of the Government and
his recognized ability and success in
craftsmanship are very
strict guarantee both of his capacity
and his trustworthiness as the occU
pant OF that high Office,
