Tho Devils Lake Murder Cases.

Fargo Argus: It is understood that
the Devils Lake murder cases are to
come up at the next term Of the Grand
Forks court. 1t is said the Chicago
friends of the Ward brothers who have
had corps OF detectives persistently at
work, have discovered that an organized
effort has been made by the accused to
suppress newspaper comment. and even
officials have been approached. The
fancied security of the perpetrators of
the instigated murder will find that
every action has been watched and noted.
1t is said that over $4,000 has already
been spent by parties in the interest Of
the dead boys friends, and that
''shadows" have been kept on the every
action of the leaders. The Argus regrets
to hear that Colonel Ullne and young
Mr.. Harrington, OF st. Paul, have beer
under alleged surveileDce.

Tho Defect In Prohibition.

Something like blizzard of virtue seems
to be prevailing just now in the state of Kan
sas. Besides the prohibition laws, which are
at once the admiration and the despair of
several other states, the legislature has given
them statute which is designed to put a
peremptory stop to gambling in all its forms,
from dice-throwing to options in the markets,
and to invalidate all contracts of the sort
known as gaming" A commonwealth
where these matters can be successfully
treated by law ought to be very happy and a
very safe commonwealth TO live in; but past
experience in Kansas has not been of a
kind to inspire confidence in the
there does not seem to have prohibited to any
great extent. The difficulty appears to lie in
the human nature of the people of the state,
which is like human nature in most other
places. A percentage of Kansas people will
drink, law or no law; and it may be relied
upon that certain other percentage will with
equal lawlessness adhere to the vice of bet
ting. If Kansas or any other state means to
suppress these weaknesses within her borders,
she must direct her enactments at human
nature-pot at mere outward expressions
Of human nature; and decree that
from and after a certain date nobody
living in the state shall have any desire tC
drink or to bet. Until the cause is removed
for in one form or another When prohibi
tion is directed against thing that will no
be prohibited, the thing merely conceals itsel
a little, or changes its name and goes ahead

Observation-Disclosures CONTEST.
Taking Testimony Before n Notary I'm
Washington.

Secretary Chandler was examined before
United States Commissioner Oliver yesterday
in regard to the Chalmer- Manning election.
The purpose of Mr.. Manning was to prove
that the administration had assisted Gen.
Chalmers, and the questions asked Secretary
Chandler were calculated to show this. Moth
ing of the kind was elected. One question
asked was whether Gen. Chalmers had not
agreed in conversation with the secretary to
vote for republican speaker 1t appeared
that no such demand or promise had been
made. The examination lasted but a few
minutes and developed nothing of Importance
save the fact that Gen. Chalmers made no ar
raugement with Secretary Chandler in regard
| to his race.
John Paul, of Virginia, was also examined
| in regard to a conversation he had with Gen.
Malone, and stated that they discussed the
Chalmers district in Mississippi, and both
approved the attempt to break up the bour-
| bon democracy by an independent movement.
Gen. Chalmers is giving no attention to
the matter, and will leave for home to-day,
Nothing has been ELECTED except the fact
| that the republican congressional committee
sent money to Mr.. Buchanan, well known as
| a republican in the district to be used as he
| saw fit IN helping forward the work of break
ing up the democracy, and this was
brought out in the examination of Mr., Hub
bell. 1t appeared that the candidate Carter
was regarded as ono who came out in the
interests of and at the instigaton of Manning
to draw republican votes from Chalmers The
examination Is exciting but little attention.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Carter has employed
counsel and will put in claim for the seat
The probability is that the clerk of the
house will put the name of neither ON the
roll, though the status of the case may be
changed by the courts of Mississippi when it
comes up in April. Should no one be seated
on the organization of the house, then proba-
bly, some democrat would offer resolution
declaring that Manning be given the seat on
tho prima iace showing, which would put
Gen Chalmers in tho attitude of contestant
though nobody denies that he had majority
of the votes cast

Political DcviImcnt.

Tho colored people of Virginia having
aided in electing native white ex-confedcr-
ates to the highest offices in the gifts of the
state, and being entirely satisfied with the
results the old bourbon element is again
waking up to the desperate danger of NEGRO
supremacy" The ex-confederate liberals
having thus been trusted and proven TO be
worthy of the confidence of their black as
well as of their white supporters, the same
bourbon jugglers are trying to create dis
satisfaction among the blacks because they
are not given supremacy. The only objection
to Malone the bourbon has when in repub-
lican company is that he Isl democrat aud a
repudiator, while in democratic company the
bourbon seesin Malone only republican. The
only hope the Virginia bourbons have is that
they may divide their coalition enemies and
thereby conquer. This work they are devotng
more energy to than to anything else They
pretend no longer to have any objection to
the debt settlement, The old funder crew
will sing small while trying to capture the
legislature for the repeal of the Rddlebergcr
law. They viii have plenty of money from
the holders Of the old bonds who still refuse
to refund them under the new law. But there
is no longer price put on the right to vote
in Virginia. The capitaton tax as a pre-
requisite for voting is a thing of the past.
Northern republicans who do or omit any
thing for the purpose of breaking down the
Virginia coalition are, whether consciously
or not, contributing to the election of demo-
cratic president in 1884. The liberals in that
state who were formerly democrats
very we'll understand the close relations
between their bourbon enemies and
certain northern assistant bourbon in
fuences, but they have not had any reason
to believe that the republican party has any
sympathy with so unnatural an alliance. If
any men think themselves strong enough to
maintain equally good relations with the re-
publicans Of the north and the bourbons of
the south they will find themselves greatly
mistaken. 1t is species of political bigamy
"That to DO hated needs but to be seen,"
and 1t cannot be practiced WITHOUT publicity.
The political devilment which is attempting
to impede the progress of liberalism in the
tho south will be exposed and will come to
grief.

DECIDEDLY the thing for Tennessee's creditors
to do is TO accept with alacrity the terms pro-
posed-this without any reference to the equities
of the NATTER Washington Post.
Tennessee's creditors tried that on the act
to pay sixty cents on the dollar; but when
they had accepted with alacrty the terms
proposed, without any reference to the equi-
ties of the matter, the terms proposed were
refused, and this new act passed to pay fifty
cents on the dollar 1t is doubtful if the
terms now proposed could bo accepted with
sufficient alacrity to keep them from another
shrinkage of ten per cent. They clasp the
phantom, but they find it air.

hInnniall Women.

1t is enough for fashion to be mannish
to become instantly popular with American
and English women. When the ulster and
derby hat came in few years ago Punch
published several pictures of two figures
in ulsters and derbies, which required the
closest investigation to discover which was
Augustus aud which was Angelina. A
stylish walking costume now for young
woman is an exact counterpart of the dress
of the gilded youth, emitting the trousers.
The round straight collar, the masculine tie,
the tailor.made dress are modelled exactly on
the dress of men. Wells Of all descriptions
arc now no more, and it is predicted that
the widows veil will follow the widows cap
into oblivion, 1t may be weak to the
last degree to deplore these things, but women
need not be so excessively utilitarian in their
attire in order to be attractive; and it is by
no means certain that the widows cap was
an unmixed evil. 1t was highly becom-
ing, graceful, and suggestivoi it could ex-
press coy coquetry which no other head,

IT is rather difficult to believe that an at
tempt has recently been made to assassinate

of Il small and clear-cut hole in a carriage
window. aud the statements of at least two
persons to show that it was made by some swift
moving missile, while Mr.. Blaine and Congress
man Mckinley were inside, to give rise to the
suspicion that somebody has made an at

Mr.. FRED. MUssEY, of Ohio young poll
tcian having intimate relations with Gov.
Foster, tells about matters in his state, and his
story is reprinted in another column. He be-
lieves the temperance question is still alive
to an extent which demands that the legisla-
ture shall make just tax law and is conf
dent that the state can be carried by the re-
publicans. He gives list of probable repub-
lican candidates for governor, putting Benja-
min Butterworth, George X. Nash, and Gen
j. S. Robinson as the first three on the list
George Hoadley and Ben. LeFevre are named

gear has ever yet attained. The widows veil
has something of the same charm, but it is
bound to go down before the cast iron COM
mon sense of the age. The young women
who scorn the dainty and elaborate walking
and driving dresses of their grandmothers
have an overpowering number of good rea-
sons to give for the studied plainness which
they affect, but they are perhaps unaware of
the French proverb which expresses an aver
sion for a woman who is too reasonable in

A Good Rsason Tor Mixing It.


The English merchants and manufacturers,
according to the cable dispatches of yesterday,
"are greatly disappointed over the new tariff laws
OF the United States" They expected such re-
duction of the tariff as would allow them to food
our markets with their goods, and would close
American workshops or reduce the wages of our
workingmen to the European standard. But the
reduction has been just enough to irritate without
satisfying them. 1t leaves them in but little, II
any, better condition than they were beforei and
what is worse, they fear that, as republican con-
gress has settled the question, the next congress.
which is democratic will not dare TO open the dis
cussIon again and reduce the tariff. The free
traders in this country and Europe, especially In
England, are the nosiest in their complaint sabou
the new tRriff law, and this Is the best evidence
that could be furnished in favor Of that measure
