An IMPUDENr DEMAND.

Leo Hartmann, the nihilist assassin,
not only insults the public by boasting of
his crimes in Russia, but, by his attorney,
has formally called on the secretary of
state for decision as to whether he
would be protected in case Russia should
demand his extradition. The cheek of
this self-confessed criminal is certainly
supreme.
Secretary Blaine replies in an evasive
manner, which, under the circumstances,
is not justifable. He states that it would
be manifestly improper for HIM to state
in advance what his decision would be in
a case likely to come before him. This
is true as general principle, but Hart
mann's crime is of a character which
should make him an exception.
This country should manifest
no sympathy with assassins in any form.
Secretary Blaine's reply is altogether too
respectful and considerate. 1t would
have been much more to the point if he
had told Hartmann's attorney that his
client is despicable wretch, who deserves
the gallows and if this country could aid
Russia in securing him, it would do So.
The era of assassins ought to end and
they should be wiped out as often as
as they develop.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

John Byrlies, o. Brakeman and assistant
Yardnsaster of the Minneapolis te East
ern Trdsasfer, Falls from, the Top of
Freight Car--T,co Poadcroms Trucks Pass
Deer and Man0Ie the Body.
Yesterday afternoon one of those periodical
railroad accidents which send some unwary
and spreads the mantle of gloom and sorrow
over relatives, friends and acquaintance, oc-
CURED in front of the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba depot.
The transfer engine No. of the Minneapo-
lis & Eastern railway was engaged in backing
n number of freight cars up the track of the
st. Paul, Minneapolis q Manitoba railroad.
On the top of one of the cars was John
Byrnes, brakeman and assistant yardmaster
He was busily engaged in motioning and wav-
ivg the train back, when he by some strange
and unknown accident stumbled or slipped,
and fell between the cars up
on the track below. Two trucks of
one of the cars passed, over his chest diagon-
ally, nearly severing his body in twain. AS
soon as possible the train was stopped, and
the lfeless body of the poor victim of the ac-
cident eXtricated and carried to the adjoining
freight Office. The sight was horrible in the
extreme.
Undertaken Warner was notified, and took
charge of the remains, which Will be inferred
at the direction of his sorrowiug comrads in
the railroad yards.
John Byrnes was a young, unmarried man,
aged about "A years, and boarded at DuEpie's
boarding house at the corner of Twelfth ave-
nue. south and Second street. His parents live
in Columbus, Wisconsin, TO whom telegram
has already been dispatched. He came to
Minneapolis some three or four years ago,
and first engaged in the yards of the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba yards. Afterwards
severing his connection with that road, he
was employed by the Minneapolis Eastern
transfer.
He was young railroad man of sterling
merit, and was esteemed by his employers and
comrades as faithful, and enjoyed the best and
warmest esteem of all who'knew him.

TIE first declaration in the platform of
the Virginia Democrats is an admirable
one, and should set at rest forever all
claims that the Southern Democrats are
in any way DESTROYS of restricting the
rights of citizens, white or black. It de-
clares:
That we adopt the following articles of po-
litical faith: Equality of rights and exact
justice to all men; special privileges to none;
freedom of religion; freedom of the press;
freedom of the person under the protection of
habeas corpus, trial by juries impartially Sc
lected, and of an upright and non-partisan
judiciary; elections by the people, free from
force or fraud by citizens or by the military
or civil officers of the government, and the
selection for public officers of those who are
honest and best fitted to fill them; the support
of the State governments in all their rights as
the most competent administrators of our do
nestle concerns and the surest bulwarks
against sLti- Republican tendencies, and the
preservation of the general government in it's
whole constitutional vigor as the sheet anchor
of our peace at home and our safety abroad.
These sentiments are plain and UNI
equivocal, and commend themselves to
every good and aw-abiding citizen of
the republic. If carried into effect in
both state and federal administrations,
there would be less complaint of misgov-
eminent and oppression.

RECEPTION AT OAKLAND HEIGHTS.


| The lawn party, given at Oakland Heights
| by the Hon. D. NJ. Sabin and wife, Tuesday
evening, in honor of Mrs. j. 81. Sabin, was
altogether one of the most enjoyable parties
ever given in this city. The friends were re-
ceived at the residence by Mrs. j. Il. Sabin,
assisted by the Hon. D. NJ. Sabin and wife.
| The spacious grounds were lighted with gas,
while numberless Chinese lanterns were sus-
| pended from the forest of oaks with which the
| lawn is densely covered. Over the main en-
| trance from the street was large floral arch
under which was suspended in gold letters,
"Cottage Heights" while within the vestl-
bule and in front of the main entrance was
| suspended from the gas jets the same words.
The entire building was thrown open to the
| liberty of the guests. To attempt to describe
the floral display and the many choice plants
that were tastefuly arranged through the
apartments, and whose fragrance permeatad
| the whole house, would be impossible.
The grounds are all laid off with walks, along
| which you pass to arbors, rockeries, ishponds
and fountains. There was one very large
rockery. Upon the top was fountain which
was sending a stream of water high into the
| trees, which fell back and formed upon the
| top of the rockery pond about eight feet in
diameter. The top of this rockery is gained
by path winding around its side from the

the lawn was platform, from which Heyn.r's
band discoursed some of their choicest music,
| and the boys seemed to have caught up the
| general inspiration of the throng, for they
| never played better. Near the residence were
three large tables which would accommodate
1876 guests each, and from these
choice refreshments were beautifully served.
The music and promenading lasted until the
| small hours, when all reluctantly sought the
host and hostess to say good night and re-
turn to their homes, feeling highly pleased
with their reception.

Not quite all the difference. The
