glneers in the engine room and pilots in
taepi'ot house, went 10 Winfield, took the
prisoner ont and hanged him to tree near
the town at 1880 this morning.
Smiths victim was roughly handled and
the shock made her so low that she is dying,
hence the hanging. Smith boasted to bis
fellow prisoners in jail that he had com
mi''cd the crime, and when asked by the
mob il guilty, replied Eyes" He was
gwen time to pray and then swung into
eternity, The body was left hanging after
being pronounced dead by the doctor. The
mob was very orderly.

PREPARING FOR WINTER WINDOW GAR
DENING.

Those who have plants ia the ground
which they intend for blooming in the
window make mistake if they delay
taking them up until frost is threatened.
IL the plants have been left in the pots
which have been plunged in the open
ground, the change is not so sudden,
but If the plants have been turned out
of the pots, and their roots have been
allowed free growth, it is another mat
ter. With many plants turned out the
better plan is TO raise new ones from
cuttings for next winters blooming and
let the old ones go. Bot it is often de-
sirable to take up and pot an old plant.
In such cases do not wait until there is
danger of frost, and then hurriedly dig
up the plant and crowd its roots into
pot. Suppose the plant TO be taken up
is a geraniuin; begin at least month
before the time of removal to prepare
il for the change. 1t will have made an
enormous top, which must be cut back
and the plaut brought into neat, COM
pact shape. The change from the open
ground to the pot should take place be-
fore cool nights have checked the
growth. Amateur gardeners, as a gen.
erai thing, are afraid to use the knife.
II in taking up all the plauts that are
kept in the window during the winter,
they would cut the tops back to cores
pond to the disturbance of the roots,
they would have much better success.

General Alfred w. Ellet, gentleman
who owns number Of excellent farms
in Butler county, and who has been en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits in this
and other States for the last forty years,
says the uplands in this State should be
subsoiled. Last fall the gentleman Sc
lected eighty acres of high prairie for
wheat. During the month of August
he started two heavy teams (three
horses each), the first turning the soil
to a depth of ten inches, the next going
four inches deeper. The other forty
was piowed with an ordinary team.
The entire eighty was drilled TO wheat
the same week with the same seed.
The land that was subsoiled produced
twenty bushels, while the other meas
ured scant ten. General Ellet says
deep plowing, early planting and thor
ougk cultivation invariably produce a
good corn crop, and he thinks deep
blowing is the secret of successful farm
ing in Kansas Commonwealth.

Here then was a scene disgraceful to the
country, and we think the country should be
logically told who is answerable for it. We
will see the country right on the question.
Ingersoll was first to blame for remaining
silent while knowing himself al fault. He
should have explained to the court before pro-
ceedings were begun, or Dorsey. his client,
had been called, that he had expected to be
able to produce him, had promised and had
failed to do SO.
Bliss was secondly to blame for not having
simply stated At ey Ingersoll's promise to
the court and called its attention to the fact
that the accused was not present. Thus in
wiling Attorney Ingersoll to make a state
ment respecting his failure to produce Dor
sey instead of denouncing him-which state
ment was only made after the riot had abated.
But Judge Wyle was lastly, chiefly and al
together to blame because responsible to the
country for the contempt, while he made no
effort to rise to the level of official dignity and
deal as justice required with the original Of
tenders. The difficulty is that justice is not
blind at all but has, in fact pair of argus
eyes and is always looking-looking.

LOOK HERE. UPON THIS PICTURE
AND ON THIS"

Mr.. Amory X. Starr, the new mayor of
Marshall, Texas, has gained the reputation of
being "the model mayor" by his inaugural
address,. We give some extracts that will
sound extraordinary to our citizens in the light
of their own experience:
Mr.. Starr says: "The great principles
upon which successful municipal governments
are based are as follows: First, the officers
are servants Of the people, and hold their
places strictly as such; not in order that they
may support themselves from the revenues
drawn by taxation and other means. Second,
every public officer should give the same
careful attention to, and exercise the same
prudence, economy and industry in the dis
charge OF his duties that are observed by a
capable and prudent man in his private al
ialrs. 81 am opposed to incur
ring debts for any purpose whatever" X \
wherever an ordinance has been
shown by experience to be imperative, it
should be repealed. Nothing lowers public
sentiment and the morale of officers more than
to have, on the statute books, laws and ordi-
nances which the people will not support the
officers in enforcing. The fewer ordinances
We can have, and the more rigidly we enforce
them. the better it will be-
1t is not often that any person is willing to
serve his city in an official capacity at a sacri-
hce of private interests, and without compen-
sation, as Mayor.Starr declares is his inten-
ton, in the following paragraph:
The amount that has been appropriated
by the council for the mayors salary wish to
be applied, as far as it will 90, toward pur-
chasing material for the improvement of the
streets and paying the policeJ" We under

stand that Mr.. Starr held the position (under
the Citizens tickeD OF financial agent for
Harrison county lone of the wealthiest coun-
ties in the great state of Texas) without salary
and that the paper Of the county, which, under
radical rule, had deprecated to Is cents on ST.,
advanced during his term to 90 cents, because
OF the returned confidence of the people in an
honest business-like management of public
affairs
The spirit Mr.. Starr manifests in his clos
ing remarks to the council deserves much
commentator.
"Let us all accord to each other honesty
and integrity; whatever ideas may differ, let
each one try to remember that the views OF all
are entitled to consideration and respect. Let
US defer one to another, each yielding in part,
rather than striving for all. Let us have no
'dead-locks' or bitter wranglings among us.
By avaiding these evils we will command the
respect and confidence OF our constituents, and
accomplish much good for our city" X \
"Being, perhaps, the youngest member Of
the council, shall always endeavor 10 show
that have the proper appreciation for age
and experience, and. while shall not hesitate
where my duty requires it, to exercise the du-
ties vested in me, still shall always be care
full not to let egotism or self-will influence my
actions, but will exercise prudence and have
a thou htful care for the welfare of our city"

OFF AT A TANGENT.

Before Judge Wylie, in the Star Route cases
on the 4th instant, one OF those scenes oc
cured, partly ridiculous, partly outrageous,
which denote men as but children of larger
growth.
w. Dorsey. one of the accused, client of
Attorney Robt G.. Ingersoll, was absent when
called. Dorsey had not been brought in upon
a warrant, because his attorney, Mr.. Ingersoll,
had promised he would have him there. He
had failed to do so because unable to pro-
duce him. There was no bad faith on the
part of anyone, no grounds for any dispute or
quarrel, no cause or excuse for a row?
But the row was had, and the showing was
made afterward that there was no necessity or
excuse for it.
When Dorsey, being called by the Marshal,
failed to answer Attorney Bliss for the prose-
cution sprang to his feet and said angrily that
they would have brought Dorsey in but his
counsel. Ingersoll, had pledged himself to
have him there. He desired TO call the atten-
ton of the Court to the course pursued by
Dorsey's attorney and his barefaced violation
of his word.
Whersupon Attorney Ingersoll rose and
banging his clenched hand down furiously
upon the table screamed "You are liar"
The row was afoot There was great noise
and excitement. The Court ordered the Mar
shall to arrest the parties. Had the Judge
then fined each $Ioo with "a hours imprison-
ment, the dignity of the Court would have
been indicated, no injury would have been
done TO the administration of justice, and the
country would not have suffered.
But the Judge exclaimed This is intoIera-
BILE and | will not endure it," and then pro-
ceeded to endure it. He said 1.-The ofense
OF Bliss is inexcusable," and then excused it,
saying, however, he warned gentlemen to
avoid a repetition Of the offenses." This was
undigniged, childish and reprehensible. There
was probably no danger of repetition within
the present century.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

CANON FARRAR has taken Darwin into his
care at Westminster. The good Canon has
discovered that Darwin was not an enemy of
religion after all, although the deluded ma n
had thought himself So. He has reason to
think that he (Darwin) was mistaken about it,
and that his most solemn convictions were that
religious faith was deeper than science, and
that nothing science could do or discover
would impair its foundations. Well, if the
Canon would 60 into the depths where OAR
win stole his science he would no. think him
much of catch for theology, and he might
stir up the religious mind at Westminster with
some novel ideas from the same source. 1t is
wonderful that SO big thing as the tlunkeys
and the newspaper hoodlums have made Oar
win appear could be the metamorphisis OF such
little sneak thief of science.
We have heretofore related the exact Cir
cumstances under which the gerrymander first
saw the light, and would now call the attention
of the less advanced Texas statesman to a lit
tie matter of pronunciation. He will take NO
tice that Gov. Gerry's name was not pro-
nounced as if spelled Jerry, but with the G
hard, as in gastronomy, not soft, as in geo.
graphy. 1t may be that the G, when begin
ming word, is ALWAYS hard when the vowel
Immediately succeeding it is followed by a
consonant, and only soft when it has two VOW
els following it; just as the less advanced
Texas statesman would be pronounced soft
with two vowels of the human alphabet, that
is to say, two women following him But
there is not grammariap enough left in US to
swear to this.
As Massachusetts, deacon Ellridge Gerry
was masterpiece, but not so much SO as
Massachusetts, governor. The fact is his lib
eral contribution ofthe gerrymander to Ameri-
can politics was descended of that famous de-
vice by which the oldest church member
found himself lacking in accommodation for
slowing away his head in unprecedented
slumber just as deacon Gerry with the deadly
plate started down the aisle Of the old church
on the war path. We would say to the less
advanced Texas statesman that the Gerry
pew, celebrated in those days through New
England, was not called the Jerry pew.

THE INDIAN QUE TON AGAIN.

The hopOwe expressed on the goth ult., in
discussing the Arizona Indian outbreak, that
the government might be led to try the extra
ordinary experiment of protecting the Indian
in his rights, is growing animated. During a
century of constantly recurring Indian mas
sacres, provoked by outrages inflicted upon
the Indian by Whites and for the last third Of
the century, under authority and in the name
Of the government by its Infamous Indian
Bureau, the experiment of government pro-
lection of the Indian in his rights, or even of
keeping faith with him, has never been tried.
Our hope that it may be tried receives ami
nation from daily proofs of a general recogni-
ton Of the fact afforded by the great journals
of the country, of which long article in the
St. Louis Globe Democrat of the and inst, is
an instance. The following is its opening
paragraph:
The public has been led to infer from the dis
patches from Arizona that this recent outbreak Of
the Apaches in that Territory is due to pure "cus-
sedness." The ApaChes certainly have not a very
good repu alton even for Indians, and any evil that
hey are reported as doing finds ready believers.
What the precise cause Of the late demonstration
was we are not informed, but enough has been gath
cred in general way show that it, in all proba-
bility. may be traced to the encroachment of the
whites. The reser 'ation which these Indians
supposed to live has been diminished five sepa-
rate occasions within the last ten years. 1t now
embraces 1880 600 acres, Of which only about I6 :
900 are good for anything in an agricultural way and
it seems that efforts being made to push them
off of that. Within year discoveries Of the exten-
5 We coal beds have been made on the reservation,
and III and DrOSpeCtOrS have made their
ance Oh it in uncomfortable numbers.
This, without its grains of salt, describes or
more properly speaking, denotes, what is, and
has always been, at the bottom of all such
outbreaks. Shameful as it is it is no less true
that such thing as justice, or any discover
able desire for justice, in those having access
to him or control of his rights, toward the In
dian, is unknown to the history Of this coun-
try or people, or known only to that of the
days Of VIM. Penn Let the government pro-
tect the Indian in the possession and enjoy
ment of his rights, and hunt down with its
sheriffs and the remorseless vengeance of the
law all who do him wrong, and, if then the
Indian is found on the war path and contin-
ues to kill, turn him over to the army for ex-
termination. What is now to be considered
is that there is no record in history more
shameful to government than that of the In
terror Department since the Indian was turned
over to it in l849. Let the sharks that have
ever since shoaled in congressional rings, the
"Indian agents" Of the Department, and all
white thieves and inruders in the vicinity of
the reservations, be broken up and hunted
down the first thing. But the journals and the
people will have to see to it. 1t is of that we
have hope.
