The report has reached here that
william Ham, the desperate and
robbsr, whom we reported captured in
our last, was killed last week while re-

had escaped some way and while the
officers were making an effort TO recap
ture him he was shot. We cannot say
as this is any loss to the country.

THE Elko (Nev.) Independent
says: at is reported that stranger
in Reno, in eating plate of hash in
one of their restaurants, being very
hungry, neglected to chew it well,
and swallowed large coat button.
The physicians in that town doctored
him for pneumonia for three days
before he was able to explain. They
then fed him with big button hole
tied to string, and fished it out in
no time. The boarders of that res
taurant now screen their hash
through a cane-bottomed chair"
The foregoing is but one of the
many reasons why Arkansas is the
most desirable place for immigrants.
In this grand, glorious and great
State, the restaurant, hotel and
boarding house proprietors furnish
their hash already screened" ;"

Democratic Failure.
st. Louis Post Dispatch.

There is much significance in the
indications that the Republicans
have carried Maine by an increased
plurality, with gain of two Con.
gressmen-which means a solid del
egation. This shows that the tend
ency to q union OF the opposition
elements against the Republicans
was temporary, lacking in durable
cement, and is passing away. While
it is probable that the division OF
the Republican vote in Pennsylya-
mia may enable the Democrats to
carry that State by plurality. it is
conceded that the two Republican
factions will together show the usual
Republican majority and be ready
to unite again, strengthened rather
than weakened by the present sacri-
fee Of party success for the over
throw of bossism. And so there Is
nowhere any sign Of popular drift
towards the Democratic party. 1t is
too much Of a torpid negative in
politics, missing great opportunities
to win popular confidence by keep
ing up with the advanced currents
OF public opinion and anticipating
urgent public demands. With the
power in Congress to place itself at
the head of great reforms in the
civil service and the system OF taxa
tion, it did nothing but cut down
appropriations, leaving surplus rev
enues to accumulate and be squan.
