Dastardly Outrage.


RISING Sun, Ind, April 1.-Two
masked men went to the house of John
Smith, living in this vicinity, last night
and beat him insensible. They then
ransacked the house for a large sum of
money which Smith was reported 10 have
secreted. Failing to find the money they
lit a fire and swung Smith, who had
recovered consciousness, back and forth
over it in hopes of making him disclose
the hiding place of the treasure. This
was continued until Smith again became
insensible when the robbers departed
thinking him dead. A neighbor found
Smith horribly beaten and burned this
morning. A posse is in pursuit of the
villains and viii lynch them if caught.

THERE are excellent reasons for pre-
dieting that New jersey will give its
electoral vote to Mr.. Blaine. The re-
publicans in the state are thoroughly
organized, united, aggressive and en-
thusiastic. The democrats, on the other
hand, are split up into factions, and
many of the local and congressional
nominees Of The party are unpopular
and will seriously hurt the general tick
factor in the campaign and will inure
to the advantage of the republicans.

New YORK Sun: Well, Ohio per.
forms for Grover Cleveland in 1884 tbs
same office which North Carolina pei
formed for Horace Greeley in 1872. IT
kills him as a candidate. The democ-
racy will not have Grover Cleveland for
president. They would not have Gree
ley, not alone because he did not repre-,
sent the ideas of democracy. but still
more because he was not fit to be presi-
dent. For the same high and resistless
reasons they will not have Grover Cleve-
land now. He does not represent the
ideas Of democracy, and he is not fit to
be president.

THE RESERVATION.


A RIVER Press representative was
recently informed by Del agate Maginnis
that the prospect Of securing the reduc-
ton ofthe Indian reservation during the
forthcoming session Of congress is en-
couraging, although there are still some
obstacles to be overcome. When it be-
came apparent at the last session that
the bill could not be passed at that time,
appointment of a special commission to
establish the boundaries of the new re-
serve, but this was defeated by w. s.
Holman and a few others, who, for some
inscrutable reason, are opposing the
opening of any of the Indian reserva-
tons. The bill that will be put forward
this winter will meet the opposition Of
these men, but it is hoped that it can be
passed despite their opposing efforts.
The discovery Of rich mines in the
Little Rocky and Bears Paw mountains
will materially assist Major Maginnis in
his efforts to c the opening of the
reservation, and he will make the most
of the advantage thus given. It will
also result in the removal Of the Indians
farther east, thus opening to settlement
the most desirable portion of that vast
Indian domain.
Delegate Maginnis expects to go to
Washington in advance OF the opening
Of congress to set the reservation ball
rolling. The first move will be to secure.
the appointment Of some person, or a
committee, to determine upon the boun-
daries Of the reduced reservation, after
which a bill in accordance with the re-
port made will be introduced and every
effort made to secure its passage. Sec
rotary Teller IS in hearty accordance
with him and no opposition from the
department is unprecedented this year.
Major Maginnis promises to put forth
his best efforts to secure this much des-
ired legislation and we believe that his
labor to that end will be crowned with
success. If it is in the line Of possibility
he will not retire from congress with
that great northern reservation still in
tact.
