Verdict i'll the ScwFiall IsOus Dis.
asteT.

MILWAUKEE, February 6,-The COR
oners jury rendered verdict in the
investigation of the Nawhall House
disaster late this afternoon. They
find that the proprletors of the house
were guilty of culpabie negligence in
not employing a sufficient number of
watchman to guard the house against
fire and to awaken the inmates in
time to save all lives possible. II
was found that the Newhall House
had easy means of egress and was
devoid of intricate passages, with two
outside escapes, ladders, etc. New
ertheless they found the owners Of
the Nowhall guilty of negligence in
not having provided more escapes in
case of fire. They also found fault
with the network OF telegraph wire
surrounding the hotel.

Tho Phoenix Park Murders.

1t is more than probable that the
Irish authorities in Dublin have now
in custody and on examination the
murderers of Lord Cavendish and
Secretary Burk, ever since the assas>

and hooting at the government de>
tectives for what were considered
their clumsy and unscientific efforts
to trace this great crime to ITS per-
petrators, but it now looks rs though
the officers we're on shot trail from
the first, and that most of the artifi
ces and failures that attracted the
public eye and condemnation We're
skilfully contrived to divert attention
from their real plans and workings
until the chain of circumstantial evi.

Delaware mt the Front.

In the battle for reduction of i'm
port duties that has engaged the
Senate for the last five weeks, Senator
of Delaware, though repre-
senting State thoroughly identified
with manufacturing in all of its
branches and phrases-and conse-
quently as much interested in "high
protection" as any Of her New Eng
land sisters-has been among the
foremost champions of ''tariff for
revenue with incidental protection"
thus placing himself upon solid Dem
ocratic ground and resisting man
fully all of the pressure brought to
bear by his friends of the Eastern
coast. 1t costs much for a Senator
from State so thoroughly identified
with the theory and profits of the
protective system, as Delaware, tc
take up the peoples fight, and they
thank him and honor him for it.

THE Gar of Russia has at last
determined upon day for his coro-
nation. 1t will take place at "Holy
Moscow" on the 9th of May, and
will be one of the most notable events
Of the year. All of the notable
officials of the Empire except those
of distant Siberia are summoned to
be present on that occasion and
doubtless hundreds of Nihilists will
manage to find a way to the inner
circle, despite all of the precautions
taken by the military and civic au-
thorities to exclude them. If the day
passes without an attempt at regicide.
royalty will sleep sounder in every
palace in Europe for many a night
hereafter.

EDITORIAL MATTER,
From Tri.Weekly issues OF Friday & Monday

In view of the severe criticisms sc
frequently passed upon Southern cleo
tions by the sanctifed patriots of the
North, the following extract from the
report of SPECIAL committee appointed
by the New Jersey Legislature to inves-
tigate the conducting of elections in that
State, is interesting reading:
bribery is universally prevalent in
local, state and national elections i'll this
state; that it has been condoned to such
an extent that the senses of the people
have become blunted to the enormity OF
its effects; that large proportion of the
voting population depend upon election
day rs II regular source of revenue"
Now in the State of Mississippi there
have been scenes of violence at polling
places since our elective system was
revolutionized by Federal bayonets and
intelligence and property were put at
hazard by the injection OF voting ele-
ment that was blindly strong and ignor-
antly preiudiced; and there may have
been fraudulent counts of ballots as q
better method than the application of
violence to prevent that element from
obtaining control, but this was defen.
sive fight on the part of education and
property that must continue in some
shape or form so long as the two races
dwell side by side and the white race
has reason to regard it's supremacy en-
dangered; but there has been no bribery
except that in which the general Govern
ment or its representatives rendered
place or money for influence and votes.
Our battle has been for the common
defence and not for spoils.

IT is to be hoped that Congress
will be able at some odd moment
during the present session pass the
bill reported from the Committee on
Territories of the House, for the es-
tablishment of a plan of Government
for Alaska. At present that vast
territory is under the administrative
control of the u. S. Collector of Rev
enue and the Commander of any
vessel of our navy that happens to be
lowering on its coast.

THE House of Representatives

IHE House OF representatives is
wasting precious time in attempting to
pass bill for the admission of Dakata
as State. The Democrats lost the
Presidential election in 1876 by the ad-
mission of Colorado-nn event that made
the great fraud possible-and they are
not ready for any more experiments in
that line. II Dakota will just be a good
girl and wait patiently until the last
session Of the Ash Congress she will be
admitted to the sisterhood of States
without any trouble, but We don't need
her assistance at the polls in November
1884.

CONSIDERABLE agitation pervades
official circles in Canada in conse-
quence of the discovery that hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth OF
American railroad cars have been
smuggled into that country. The
plan pursued was to send them
through loaded with freight, after
which they would be quietly switched
off on to other roads, repainted, and
transferred to Canadian companies
without paying import duties

THAT annual nuisance, Capt. Payne,
is again invading the Indian Territory
with a large body of claim jumpers. We
think it is about time for the Govern

Indians to officate in the expulsion, in
stead of using Federal troops. A little
lynch law would not be out of place in
this instance.

"POuring Oil Upon the Troubled
Walers.'

1t has long been known to sailors and
acknowledged by.scientsts that the on-
griest sea may be subdued by pouring
coil upon the troubled waters" but the
great difficulty has been to discover a
method of application in the case of q
ship in distress. A London telegram Of
the End inst, notes the arrival OF a
schooner from New Foundland loaded
with coal oil that encountered fearful
storm during the trip but was saved
from disaster by towing bags of oil over
the stern thus preventing the waves
from breaking over her as she ran be-
fore the wind.
1t seems to lis that plan can be de
vised for the escape of oil about the
water lines Of vessel during storm,
that might save many good ship from
destruction.

The English language as applied
in America, has in the last few
months undergone another change in
the matter Of application of terms:
Two years ago the phrase "bucket
shop" was understood to mean a
groggery where whiskey was seld in
all sorts Of packages and quantities
less than barrel, to be taken away
from the Premises for consumption;
now those words are used to desi G :
nate a certain irregular class of
brokers Offices, where the proprietors
do not strictly conform to the rules,
systems and requirements Of Wall
street and other stock.gambling
centres. Every broker who under>
takes to dabble in stocks for COM
mission and refuses to conform to
the usual regulations governing such
transactions, is outlawed by the bet
ter class of men in his line of busi-
ness, and dubbed a bucket shop
keeper by the fraternity. They are
rather hard set to deal with.

Re Districting the state .

To say nothing of the causes which
led to the adoption of the present
Congressional Districts, there are
many objection, to them both on ac-
count of their inequality in popula-
ton, geographical positions &c. The
Clarion suggests that the next Leg
islature has the right to alter the
present districts and make them ac-
cord more nearly with justice and
equality. The subject will no doubt
engage the early attention of the
next Legislature.-BoonviHe Plea
der.
If the figures and tables submitted
and urged by the Examiner, after
careful study and compilation, had
been adopted as the congressional
apportionment by the last Legisla-
ture, there would hardly be any occa-
sion now for a. .re>districting meas
ure, and we would have six reliable
Democratic Districts instead of one
doubtful, and one Republican.

When Eiliott's attsntiun was drawn to-day
to the uncomplimentary Language used BY
Harry Hill In speaking of him he grew fur

bent on having revenge. AS the bruisers
entered the fotunda some of the ssapJrta''
who were congregated there OWNED their
purpose, and one Of them, finding that his
suspicious were correct, ran up stairs and
told Harry Hill Of his danger. Hill quickly
ran Into closet, locked himself In, whiIe his
friends, finding that Elliott and his party
were determined 70 have fight, sounded
the police alarm. The armory patrol wagon
soon rolled up TO the hotel with four burly
policemen, who speedily convinced Elliott
and bis bruisefs that they had no business
there. After dispersing the crowd and
warning Elliott to keep the peace, the police
men Withdrew. Exaggerated rumors of
the difficulty were quickly circulated, and
caused great excitement among the sport
Ing fraternity. Harry Hill was kept ia
close confinement by his friends until about
dark, when he "a said 70 have been driven
