tne aHair SILL runs high. In February
last the Wabash Courier, one of the lead
ing democratic journals in this section Of
the state, came out . straight republican
paper, and the remuneration OF democrs-
cy awakened the bitter enmity Of the
members Of that party. Last week the
Courier printed an article in which seve.
raj democrats Of local prominence were
referred to and one of them, VIM. T..
Stone, meeting Leo Linn, the editor Of
the paper. spilled . filthy epithet to him
and struck at him with heavy
cane. Mr.. Linn warded the blow, and
then rushing upon his assailant, admin
istered sound drubbing, at the compile.
tion OF which he TUNED to walk away.
At this juncture stones three sons, who
are oil burly fellows, attacked Linn,
knocked him down, kicked him in the
face and body. and but for the interfer.
ence of republicans, would have un.
doubtedly killed him. He was finally
taken to his Office, where his wounds,
which are of the most serious nature.
were dressed. The Stones were prompt
ly arrested and will have preliminary
hearing tomorrow. 1t is openly charged
by republicans that the assault was pre-.
concerted. and the assertion is given
color by the statements of several Of the
riff raft of the democratic party. Great
indignation is expressed on all sides. and
the republicans are now prepared to
meet the democrats if southern tactics
are to be resorted to in northern state.

If it was northern Dakota instead OF
southern Dakota which anticipated ad.
mission to statehood during the coming
congress-, the Press would most certainly
feel that the delegate should be resi-
dent of that section.-Siour Falls Press.
The fact that southern Dakota antici-
pates statehood furnishes an excellent
reason for the return OF Delegate Ray.
mond. If the south becomes a state it
will have no use for delegate in con.
gress. as it will Immediately proceed to
elect couple of senator's and q repre-.
sentative or two. On the ether hand,
northern Dakota will for time remain
. territory and with southern man
holding the position of delegate the
north would be compelled to resort to q
special election to I'll congressional
vacancy. With Raymond as congress.
man for the whole he would remain con.

There is persistent effort being made
in this district as we'll as IN other dis
tricts OF Dakota, to make the people
believe that north Dakota is opposed to
division of the territory, because of the
location of the capital at Bismarck. It
is singular that any politician Of sense
should attempt such Vermtllien
Republican.
1t is o matter of such common noto.
riety that the northern capital crowd did
labor against the division OF Dakota that
there is no possible ground for denial
of the record. Recently that element
has ceased its warfare upon popular
southern idea because it SOW there was
danger in its course. So it happens that
while the friends OF the Republican deem
it polite not to oppose division they are
not giving the movement any hearty
support.

The Conscience Fund

The contributions to the conscience
fund" of the treasury, in the last fiscal
year, amounted to over $4,000. This fund
has since its establishment twenty years
ago, amounted to about S250,0O0. No
footing up of the various years. receipts
have ever been made, but for some years
past it has run from $4,000 to $1,000 q
year, and it is twenty years since its es.
tablishment; it is supposed the total will
reach about the sum mentioned. The
term conscience fund" was originated
by Treasurer Spinner, whose autograph
upon the government notes years ago
was SO much of curiosity. One day
during the war he received q letter at the
treasury department from man who
inclosed a check for $500, saying it
represented q misappropriation of gov
ernment funds of which he had been
guilty while quartermaster in the
army.
"Suppose we call this contribution
to the conscience fund.-" said Spinner,
'and get it announced in the newspa-
pers; perhaps we will get some more"
The announcement was made, and the
treasury was the recipient of further
sums of this character. They we're quite
numerous for some years, but in the past
few years it is said to have been growing
less. Whether the conscience of the
country is more hardened or tie oppor.
tunities for stealing less numerous is
uncertain. The largest contribution ever
made was $4,000. forwarded by an ex.
revenue gauRer from Chicago as the
amount Of bribe received by him from
distillers who desired to defraud the
government. The smallest ever received
was nine cents, forwarded bp Massa.
chusetts man, who remembered that he
had at one time, years before, used q
washed three cent stamp on letter.

men have taken the running of the cam.
paign into their own hands and are con.
Quoting it upon principles which cannot
but be antagonistic to his notions. A
gentleman who is in position to speak,
says: l
Il would not be surprised any day il
Hendricks should Withdraw from the
ticket. He certainly will unless Cleve.
land shows more consideration for his
wishes than he has in the past"
And so the campaign progresses lam
guidly in the Empire state, with jeal.
ousies and dissatisfaction everywhere ap-
parant. On the other side there is in.
tense enthuslasm for Blaine and Logan
and the break Of the Irish away from
the democratic party is general in it's
effects. Free trade and Cleveland are
too obnoxious combination in the in.
terest of Eneland's wishes to prove
acceptable to the Irish understanding.

The Poor-House at Hartford,
Mich, Turned Into a
Crematory.
A Large Number Of Inmates sufocated
in Their Beds and Burned With
the Building.
Want of Proper Fire Apparatus Felt in
Fighting the Flames-List
Of the Lost.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, April 30.-The
Van Buren, County Poor-house, located
near Hartford burned to the ground this
morning. From fifteen to twenty inmates
are reported to have persisted in the
flames, but AZ the present writing none
of the names Of the victims can be
learned The actual loss of life is
shrouded in mystery. Lack of sufficient
fire apparatus was sorely felt, and the en-
ployes of the institution could do butlittl
toward fighting the flames, owing to the
panic which prevailed. Most of those
burned to death were invalids or aged
paupers, unable to take measures to save
themselves. Loss, only $4,000 on build
ing, which was not valuable one.
Following is list of the lost:
James Johnson, an old sailor, eighty
eight years old.
Henry Baker, half mute, aged forty.
Benz. Bogardus, aged forty-six.
Old man named Sawyer, insane, lately
removed from Kalamazoo Asylum.
Man named Sargent, over seventy
years.
Fred Echenberger, epileptic, aged sew
entCen.
Man named Meyers, over seventy.
Peter Bolden.
Deborah Gravatt, over seventy.
Mrs. Curtiss, insane woman.
Caroline Shearer, aged thirty-five.
Caroline Lang, aged thirty.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughter, aged
ten.
The building was of frame and burned
very rapidly. The above were all in one
wing Most of them were
sMoTHERED IN THEIR BEDS,
but several were found together. Only
one body was found recognizable All
that could be found of the other thirteen
was put into one box the size of an ordi-
nary coffin box. The first known of the
fire was the cries of the paupers, and that
wing was all then in flames The build
ing contained forty-five paupers. The
remaining thirty-one escaped, and all the
hired help. The loss on the buildings is
$4,000; insured.
