cans and the Democrats in several cOun-
ties Of Mississippi as a political reyolu-
ton 1t may be revolution, but the only
meaning it bias is that a few Republican
politicians want offices and can't get
them any other way than by fusing with

To meet the Legislature on the halfway
ground in its investigation of the Agri-
| cultural Department, Hon. David f. But
/ Ter presented. a resolution to the State
Agricultural Society on Tuesday, ap-
pointing a committee Of three from the So
ciety, to act jointly with the Legislative
Investigating Committee. 1t was tabled
and will probably remain there, but We do
not suppose its success would have raised
the suspicion of embarrassing" as init
mated by our Macon contemporary. We
see no reason why the society should seek
to whitewash any officer in the depart
ment. On the contrary, it is to the inter-
est of the society to have all suspicious
removed. and we believe it is intelligent
enough to understand that interest.

Highway Robbery.

The Red Wing Argus of Feb. % con-
tains the following,
Last Saturdaya complaint was made
before Chris, Graham, Esq, by c. A.
HERMAN, detective in the employ
of the c., NJ. 4 st. P. r. r., against
Thomas Devine, A. Smell and G.. H.
from Patrick O'DOnnell. The robbery
| took place on No. passenger train on
the evening of the 9th of February, be-
tween Wacoota and Frontenac. O'Don-
nell, the cictim, is man about fifty
years of age, a resident of Philadel-
phia, Pa, but for the past two years
employed in Montana herding' sheep
and cattle. This money was what he
had saved of his earnings, and he was
enroute to his home and family. He
says these parties tried to persuade
him to play cards, but failing in this
offered him a cigar which he accepted
and smoked. He thought the cigar
was peculiar ia taste, but kept ON
| smoking until itiwas finished. He re-
members nothing more until east of
La Crosse when he walked up and mis-
sed his Nancy, He at once notified
the railroad officials and the result has

The case was called in Judge Gra-
hams court last Monday morning, the
prisoners having the services of j. G.

w. Erwin, of st. Paul, the celebrated
criminal lawyer. On motion Of de-
fendants attorneys tle case'was ad-

and are now in Jail here.
Among other things found ON the
prisoners when arrested was receipt
from the Express Company for a
package containing 5000 which had
been sent to st. Paul. This package
has been garnished, and the contents
will probably be used in evidence.
The Winona Tribune of the 10Th
inst. has the foliaWina aeetunt of the
workings ofthis gang which may be
of interest:

consultation the sharpers decided t.
play a game of cards, and seating
themselves near O'Donnell began te
bet on their play, and asked him Il

consented to do, rs he had become in

victim to take a hand in the game. bu
he refused. Seeing that it was inlpos

handed him drugged cigar which h,

The men left the train at Frontenac
after they had gone through O'Donnell,
who did not wake up until he reached

ing when he found that all money was
gone.
John r. Chapman, of Ordway, Da-

And still another scheme is reported
which leaves the victim, loser to the

drugged cigar The suckers name IN
this instance is John Holden, an Eng
llshman, who was on his way from
Winnipeg to the old country. The
robbery was accompanied by scene
which caused great sensation among
the passengers. Mr.. Holden was ac-
companied bv friend, who was on
his way to New York, and who also
carried a considerable omount of
money. At Red Wing two well dres-
sed men boarded the train and took
seats in front of Mr.. Holden and his
friend. The four became engaged in
conversation in the course of which
MI. Holden's friend asked to have a
SO bill changed. The result was that

in making the change. few minutes
later a passenger seated behind Mr..
Holden observed a suspicious move
ment on the part of one of the strang-
ers. The passenger immediately
asked Mr.. Holden's friend if his
money was save. Investigation
showed that the money was alissfng.
The passenger wha mad asked the
question Pulled pair of pistols and
covering both the strangers demanded
that the money be returned. A tre-
mendous sensation ensued. The
strangers returned the money and left
the train at Winona. 1t was then dis
covered that Mr.. Holden's money was
gone also,
seYeral OF the victims of these worse
than midnight robbers have returned
to Red Wing where the gang are in
custody in order to appear against
them. There is little doubt but that
each of the band will receive a long
prison sentence, but that will scarcely
make good to the robbed the amounts
they have lost.

Is there no way to suppress the gang
of scandalmongers who infest our ma
tional capital, in the shape of cores
pondents for sensational journals, At
present these scoundreis. as character
less as the papers they represent, are
attempting to besmirch President Ar
thurs character. They are no re-
specters of persons, of course not, they
never are, the higher the standing,
reputation and name of their victim,
she better for them and their employ
ers. 'tRaise hell and sell newspapers
is their motto, and indeed it is an ap-
propriate one, as 1t is lived up to in all
respects by the newspaper fiends, who
are ably seconded, encouraged and
supported by the thoughtless public
who patronize and countenance them.
We do not know as any statute could
muzzle these reputation assassins, and
there is hut one law that can success
fully extermfnate them, that is lynch
law. Where to begin the good work
of roofing out, is query. Does the
blame rest with the correspondents,
their employers, or the people who, by
craving that low class of literature,
create q demand for. pagers Of tue sem

The ensuing year promises To wit
ness the inauguration of enterprises
that will eventually tend to promote
our agricultural interests, and hence
we feel justified in saying that this
year will be marked epoch in the
history of the county. As our pros
perity is wholly dependent upon the
substantial and progressive develop
anything which tends directly to fur
ther and promote them, is the means
to a desirable end. IL Is needless to
reiterate anything regarding the he
cessity of abandoning the present sys-
tenn of farming, and that a new order
of things is to be inaugurated in the
introduction of creameries 2ad the
development OF stock raising is graft
flying, in that the introduction of these
enterprises is as it were laying the cor
ner stone of our future advancement.
Diversified farming must be encour-
aged and as its inauguration depends
wholly upon the enterprise of our citis
Zens, both business men and farmers,
we can readily see the necessity of our
putting our shoulders to the wheel
and lending our hest support to meas
ures upon which depends our future
as a community and village. TO the
business men of Morris we must say
this, it is directly to your interests to
act literally and promptly. Our vii
lage is wholly dependant upon the
prosperity and advancement Of the
territory tributary, and We have no
surer, in fact at present no other
means, of promoting its and our well
fare, than by aiding in all that will
tend to further the best interests of
that portion of the county upon which
we rely for the trade that supports the
town. TO give assistance freely and
literally nQW il 20 SOW &hc seed for a
future harvest, build up the county
and the town will grow. Do not lose
sight of this fact. that the whole fu-
ture of this village and all interested
in its progress and prosperity depends
solely and alone upon the develop
ment of our agricultural interests.
Morris tribune., 1883-02-28

70 ali outward appearances, little if
any interest is as yet manifested in
the approaching charter election. This
condition of things is so unusual in
this village, that it really affords, in
its singularity, material for comments.
The general run of votes in this Nor
ris of ours, have heretofore, and with
out al exception III either Il local,
state or national political contest,
evinced keen and Jealous interests
in public affairs. That they were ac-
tuated simply by broad and disin-
terested concern for the success of
public, not private ends and aims,
goes without questioning of course,
for no one ever heard of man going
for" office in this village. who had any
other than the interest OF the general
public at heart, unless you count in
the part played by personal spite.
This, however, we won't stop to take
into consideration. If we did the pa
per would be filled up and the article
continued In our next. But we dt-
gress. The question is on the lack of
interest manifested. Such a loud and
soothing calm such as at present OBJ
tains, is so wholly foreign to the regu-
lar order of things, that the "old citi~
zensi' are utterly ana hopelessiy be-
wildered, and were it not for such
certain, positive and unmistakable
evidence as the surroundings afford
and the old landmarks provide, the
pioneers, and we size them up on an
average, might well imagine they
were in another and new Morris.
Are we retrograding or progressing,
or has the sweet and enchanting still
ness and quietude which peEvades our
political atmosphere since the NOvem-
Der picnic, lulled US into quiet and
agreeable condition of apathy from
which we have neither the inclination
nor energy to arouse ourselves? Per-
haps all may combine to produce the
present seraphio peacefulness, We DO
not know Ne may, unconsciously OF
course, be retrograding, in that We
care not to bestir ourselves and pro-
mote the best interests of the general
public. We may be progressing to q
higher and firmer political atmos.
phere, ifsuch is possible of attainment
or - well-can it possibly be that
our previous git-up-and-get-fullness i:
only being held dormant while either
one of the prominent factions are
stringing the wires and setting up tn;
pins. 1t is a horrible thought, but az
still water runs deep sometimes anC
other times it don't, and as this may
possibly be one of the tilaes it does
we might not do wrong to give The
matter thought OF course this is !;
mere suspicion, but this present oppres
sive stiffness in the political pasture
seems mighty curious TO an ancien
"resjdenter." We of the old guard
-guard-cannot believe tnat on
politics or politicians will ever be quie
lamb-like and innocent until the grin
reaper has moved down the last stall
or weed in the aforesaid pasture. We
now this unfortunate thought ha
taken possession of US, are uttelly un
able to dlsabGse our minds of the i'm
preston that somewhere in the politi
cal fence may found, upon close an'
critical examination, the form of
well developed ethiopian.

Congress will not escape from cop-
demnation for the failure of revenue
legislation. The country does not fail
to observe with appropriate indigna-
ton that the demand of the people for
relief from taxation is lost sight of by
Republicans, as well as Democratic
Senators, in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, for instance, when the tariff
on coal is considered. E.eanuts over
turn the Senators from North Caro-
lima. Lumber, the Senators from
Michigan. Matches, the Senators
from Deleware: Cotton fabricis and
wooden nutmegs, the New England
Senators; and SO it goes until the end
of the line is reached, each Senator
fighting desperately for his particular
local interest as the schedule of tariff
reduction is being epaEidageli.

The United States plans an entire
reconstruction of her naval force. One
main fact concerning naval admins
tration deserves especial note. We
and other nations are working i'm the
dark. At the hest, II u guess work
ana experiment. The true test, a
great naval war, since science trans
formed the European navies, has never
been applied. This test may come,
and when 1t does, 1t will be found that
the nation which has the most numer-
Gus fleet, and most powerful and sci-
entifically fitted ships may very pos
sibly be beaten by the nation which
has the best breed of sailors. The
United States has neither scientifical-
~ built ships nor the best breed OF
sailors TO boast of.
