New Drug Firm.

Messrs. c. A, Kenburg, of Alpena, and
!. S. Cooper, OwOssO; have purchased
the stock of O. B. Weed and will continue
the drug business in all its branches at
the old stand. The inventory was COM
pleted and the business turned over We'd
nesday evening. Both are experienced
in the business, Mr.. Kenburg having
long been connected with one of the
leading drug stores of Alpena. They
propose making Cheboygan their future
home, and from what we have learned
of them we believe them to be live
business men and quite an acquisition
to our town. Mr.. Cooper has gone to
0wOsso after his family and household
goods, and will be here in week or So.
We are glad to learn that although Mr..
Weed has sold out, he does not intend
leaving ChebOygan. He has already
purchased the corner lot south of the
Grand Central hotel, of Charles Bella1t,
and contracted for the building of two
story brick store, to be completed within
sixty days. He says he is going to have
the handsOmest front in town.

Diplomacy Extraordinary.

Mr.. Christiancy, the Elk Minister to
Peru, and the predecessor of that bound
ing, bouncing diplomatist, Mr., Hurlbut,
contributes. in the form of an interview
with a Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, an interesting chap
ter concerning the scandalous, and in
national point of view humiliating, row
which ex- Secretary of State Blaine and
his two representatives contrived to get
up in Chill and Peru. The recognition
of the Calderon government, Mr.. Chris
tiancy saws, was a step which he was
compelled to take against his judg-
ment. 1t was not the de Jacto
government at the time. But
Mr.. Blaine's instructions meant,
if they meant anything, that Mr.. Chris
tiancy should give it official recognition
and make the way clear for Hurlbut,
whose appointment, it is to be presumed,
had then been determined upon. In
view of Mr. Christiancys explanation,
remarks the Herald, the paragraph in
Mr.. Blaine's letter of instructions to him
that Mr.. Gilmore had been received at
Washington as the secret confidential
agent of Calderon's provisional govern
ment is full of significance. 1t looks as
if the whole thing had been ''set up in
Washington. There is a strong flavor
of saltpetre about the entire business,
and if Secretary Frelinghuysen could
bring Mr.. Hurlbut home and make him
tell what he knows we might possibly
have a very interesting story.

More Radical DnnlicitY.

In the closing hours of the last Con-
gress the Democrats passed a three per
cent. refunding BILL This bill Hayes
vetoed. Ex-Speaker Randall asserts that
the veto message was written in advance
of the receipt of the bill. 1t was insisted
that three per cent. bonds could not be
floated. Mr.. Window, after the close of
the session, took upon himself to issue
three and half per cent. bonds, which
were promptly taken up. The speedy
disposal of these securities demonstrated
the practicability of the vetoed measure
Yesterday Mr.. Sherman had reported
favorably from the Senate Finance Com
mittee, a bill providing for the Issue of
two hundred millions of three per cent.
bonds Mr.. Sherman thus confesses the
insincerity of Hayes and the Republicans
in the last Congress. and admits that Mr..
Window gave bonus to the purchasers
who took his bonds. If three per cent.
bonds can be floated now they could also
have been disposed of last spring. As it
is, Mr.. Window plumes himself upon
having had the boldness TO pay more in
terest than was necessary, and Mr.. Sher-
man VIII claim great merit for doing
what the Democrats proposed to do a
year ago. Look at Radicalism from any
standpoint, and it is the same embodl-
ment of hypocrisy, cunning and auda-
city

The Peudleton civil service reform
bill. which aims a. the overthrow OF the
so-called spoils system is, theoretically
speaking, an admirable measure. It's
prospects for becoming a law, however,
at not at all encouraging. The introduce
ton of the measure gave its author and
other Senators opportunity to let the
people know how Jealous they are in the
cause of model government. Were 1t
not that the country has long been tamll'
lar with the farcical features of the hob
by. the latest deliverances of our states
men upon the wellwoln theme would
excite interest.
The question is not at all
difficult of solution. When the peo-
pie wish to reform the public ser
vice they can do so. They rarely fail
to work a cure in their State and mu-
nicipal service, and the remedy for the
national service is precisely the same.
The spoils system, whatever its abuses,
is our only system, and is unavoidable
under our form of government. Ere
auent changes are required to secure the
full benefits of that government. When
the voters of the land make up their
minds to secure new servants they can
purify the service. This is the practice
in civil life, and is common sense.

Mr.. H. H. Riddleberger, who has re-
ceived the Readjuster caucus ncmina
ton for United States Senator from
Virginia, and which is equivalent to an
election, is a native of Shenandoah
county in that State, and is but little
over forty years of age. He entered the
Confederate army at the beginning of
the war as an infantry private, and was
promoted to Lieutenancy, but receiving
a wound in the foot was so famed as to
render him unfit for that branch of the
service. He then entered the cavalry,
raised company of which he was made
Captain, and did service in the Shenan-
doah Valley. Some years after the
close of the war Mr.. Riddleberger COM
menced the publication Of Democratic
newspaper at Edinburg, Shenandoah
county, which he afterwards removed to
Woodstock, the county seat. Whilst
thus engaged in journalism he read law,
and shortly after being admitted to the
bar was elected Prosecuting Attorney for
Shenandoah county. He rapidly devel.
oped as fluent and eloquent speaker,
and was elected to the Virginia House of
Delegates, from which he was promoted
to the State Senate from the district
composed of Shenandoah and Page coun-
ties. Mr.. Riddleberger was one of the
first TO rally to the standard of readjust-
ment, and has been one of its most con-
spicuous champions. During the late
exciting canvass IN Virginia he was con-
sidered the most effective speaker on the
Readiuster side.

talk from foreign journals, and his sue
cessor will be at loss to restore the

How Nr. GoId was Murdered

LEROY made five different confessions
as to the manner in which he murdered
Mr.. Gold on the Brighton Railway, but
there is reason to believe, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, that the following account
is the true one. He denies altogether
that he entered the compartment in
which he killed Mr.. Gold at the London
Bridge Station. He states that he took
a seat in a carriage in which there was
another passenger sitting by himself, and
he was strongly tempted to murder him,
but he RETAINED from carrying out his
intention. On the arrival of the
train at Croydon he left this COM
partment and got into the one
in which Mr.. Gold had taken a place.
He had a short conversation with his
victim, when Mr.. Gold reposed himself
in his seat as if to dOze While stretch
ing himself out he took handkerchief
from his pocket and accidentally pulled
out his purse, which fell on the floor of
the carriage. MIR. Gold did not hear the
purse fall, and, placing the covering over
his face, prepared for sleep. 1t instantly
occurred to LEROY to take ut his own
pockethandkerchief, throw it over the
purse, and then, under pretence of pick
ing up the handkerchief, to steal it. The
noise which he made in doing Sd aroused
Mr.. Gold, who instantly started up, ex-
claiming: "You scoundrel, do you want
to rob me?" and hit straight out at
LEROY, who was hurled from one
side of the carriage to the other. O4e
effect of the blow was to open LefrOy's
coat, and while he was getting up Mr..
Gold saw the butt end of a pistol pro
iecting out of the inside breast coat
pocket. Directly he discovered that LIE
troy was armed he shouted out, "YOu
villain, is 1t murder as well as robbery that
you mean?" or words much to that effect.
Rushing at LEROY he snatched the pistol
out of his coat pocket and fired at him
twice. Neither shot struck LEROY, who
managed to close with his assailant and
regain the weapon. He Immediately
fired two shots at Mr.. Gold He believes
the first of these struck the carriage near
the bellpull, and the second inflicted the
wound in Mr.. Colds neck. Then COM
menced the desperate struggle for
life which was seen by the witness
at Horley. 1t is declared by LEROY that
directly after he had shot Mr.. Gold that
gentleman did not fall to the ground in.
sensible, but he had strength enough TO
seize the pistol and deal his murderer a
blow or two on the head, causing the
wounds, which were afterwards dressed
by the Brighton surgeon. While the
struggle was going on the two men had
rolled up to the door of the carriage.
With such vigor did the old man fight
for his life that he pressed LEROY against
the door with one hand at his throat
while he pulled out pocket knife with
the other, and even opened the blade
with his teeth This effort, however,
and the loss of blood from his wound
had exhausted him, and LEROY succeed
ed in taking the knife away and then
cutting and hacking his neck and face
LEROY afterEard pitched the unfortunate
man on the rails, where his body was
found.

Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, in pass
ing through Cincinnati a few days ago,
gave an interviewer glowing and doubt
less impartial account of the situation of
affairs in his State. He says that Missis-
sippi is more prosperous than at any
time since the war, and that new indus.
tries are being developed which are a
source of great profit to the State. Large
quantities of lumber are being shipped
from the coast to England and Belgium
at highly remunerative figures. The
iron interests are being rapidly devel-
oped, and iron can be made in Missis
sippi at a cost of $12 per ton. AT one
furnace there has been an investment of
$3.50, 900, and a great deal of foreign
capital is coming in, which is being en-
barked in the iron, lumber, cotton and
wooden business chiefly. During the
last few years Mr.. Lamar says large
amount of capital has come into the
State from England and Belgium, and he
thinks the Atlanta Cotton Exposition
will have the effect of attracting large
amount of capital from New England to
the South.

when being examined, testified that
they were per diem employees. 1t is now
