An Opening for a Dark Horse.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 24-But five ballots
were had in the senatorial caucus tonight,
and while they do not indicate any change,
there is a manifest disposition on the part
of many members to bring the matter
to a crisis. There is strong probability
that this will be done tomorrow night. That
some of Mr.. Pitkins friends are becoming
disheartened there is no doubt, and that a
dark horse may yet win the race is rather
more than conjecture.

leo for aiding in the expulsion of the French
forces from and re-establishing the republic
The memorial was ordered printed, and,
with the accompanying papers, was referred
to the committee on foreign relations. Gen
eral Sturm is we'll remembered in Indianap-

assistants during the war, particularly in con-
Dection with the arsenal.

Views OF Senator Harrison as to Extra
Session of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. M.-In speaking of the
probability of an extra session of the Senate
Mr.. Harrison said: IT do not think an extra
session of Congress advisable, even though
the tariff bill fail. 1t would result in more
agitation and uncertainty, which would do
harm to the country. l rather think, how
ever, we will get bill through this Con-
gress. If we cannot agree now, with Con-
gress in the position it is, / do not see how
we can expect the next Congress to do So
If we cannot succeed at this session in pass
ing this bill, we may at least put bill
through to correct the most garing discrep-
ancies in the tariff"

Novel Duck-shooting.

A Colorado farmer has invented a duck
hunting outfit which discounts the California
mans COW. He stripped the hide from a bull
lock and mounted 1t on wire skeleton which
looked as natural as a living animal. He cut
away the belly of his wire bullock for his
body and made two holes through the shout
ders to take sight through. When he wants a
duck-shoot he drops his skeleton over his
head and starts out for the tules. He can
walk right into a flock OF ducks without start
ling them, and has no one or two occasions
returned home with his Kidding place full of
teal caught with his hands. He never fails to
kill all he wants.

DECORATION DAY.

The Observance OF Decoration Day has
always been attended with much solem-
nifty and a great deal Of ceremonial in
Sacramento. To-day viii probably prove
no exception to the custom. Our people
are enthusiastically patriotic /; they unite
in the memorial exercises Of the Decora-
ton Day as fair and beautiful tribute to
valor and the lofty sentiment that inspires
men to battle for their native land, and the
devotion that makes life secondary con-
alteration when the nation is in danger.
There are connected with the observance no
feelings now Of enmity for those of our
people who were once arrayed against the
national arms. All such have been al
layed. Brave men grasp hands with brave
men, as brothers of a common country,
over the perpetuity of which they once
contested at the point of the sword. In
the graves Of the men who died for cause
upon the altar of which they offered their
lives as testimony of their faith in it, as
well as in the graves of the heroic defend
ers of national unity, who, to save the
Union, watered it's sod with their blood,
are buried the animosities of dead issues,
and the red passions of war. Could the
vaIorous men in gray be called from their
tombs they would stand shoulder to
shoulder with the men in blue, and at the
first note Of danger to the country would
march forward under the common flag of
an indissoluble Union, touching elbows in
an irresistible legion, and keeping step to
the heart beats of the nation. Doing honor
to-day at the lowly mounds beneath which
the bones of heroes lie, is but paying
tribute TO valor and renewing VOWS of
fealty TO the fairest republic, the freest
land and the noblest institutions that have
ever marked the existence of government
upon earth.

REBUK1NG InDEcsNcY.

When, recently, the RECORD UNION
crushed mendacious attempts to misrepre.
sent it by saying "the RECORD UNION is
the friend of the right, and believes the
right to be with the people of the valley.
Either the flow of debris to the valleys
must cease, or the industry causing it be
no longer pursued, it was expected that
efforts to make capital at the expense of
truth would cease. But an obscare Suffer
county sheet INDUCES in preposterous
charges regarding this paper and its atti.
tude upon agricultural interests, which are
indecent and willfully false. These are
quoted approvingly by an unwise contem-
porary, whose better Judgment must re-
Duke it for the reproduction of this bit of
vindictive meanness. The RECORD UNION,
as the unwavering advocate of agricultural
interests, has no reason to fear
the verdict of unprejudiced resi-.
dents of the valley. It does rot
perceive. however, the benefits TO accrue to
them by the constant cursing of the
mountain communities nor the denouncing
of their citizens as villains and robbers. 1t
has treated, whenever occasion rendered
remarks of any avail, the question of the
preservation of the valley lands on plane
to the level of which such intelligence
cannot rise as make the indecent assaults
referred to. There are those who jnsgias
that vituperation conyinces, and tnat per.
siatent mouthing Of words is mi aken by
intelligent people for the n frances of
wisdom and the evidences of zeal. When,
therefore, the country sheet indicated
charges this paper with unfriendliness to
agricultural interests and couples it with
maliciously false statements, there is but
one way of designating it's falsehoods. The
only consideration iust;fying reference to
its mendaeity is the Importance given to it,
by way of quotation, by more prominent
contemporary, which should have some re-
gard for the common decencies,
