An Insane Mans Bloody Work.

Springfield, Ill. , Aug. Ia.-Tom
Hinchee, an insane man, climbed
into a wagon to-day in which three
farmers were driving and suddenly
and without provocatioa made an
assault on Julius Perkins and John
Colvin with knife. The onslaught
was so sudden and determined that the
desperate man succeeded in 2ashing
the rhroats OF both OF them iu a
shocking manner. Then having
cleared the wagon of its occupants
he drove away. The team was soon
recognized by parties who met the
crazed driver and takea from HIM.
but as it was not known BY them
what ne had done he was permitted
to go his way. Officers are now
securing the country in search OF
him and he will doubtless soon be
captured. The wounds of Perkins
aud Colvin, although severe. are not
necessarily fatal. HInchee was for
nearly a year IN inmate of the in
sane hospital At Jacksonville. but
was discharged abour six weeks ago
apparently well. and since then has
been working N this neighborhood.
The affair OF to-day occurred about
two miles west OF this city.

Barbecue at SDrague .

In company with number of
Butterflies, we boarded the south
bound train last Thursday morning
to attend the barbecue and political
picnic at Sprague. An excursion
train on the Gulf road was IN wait
ing at Rich Hill, already crowded
with pleasure seekers. When we
reached Sprague, after a half hour S
run, the people from the surround
ing country had just begun to gather
in. The weather was rather threat
enlng rain, the sun being obScured
bv a heavy cloud, and a brisk breeze
cool and pleasant. Sprague is situ-
ated about five miles west of Rich
Hill, on the Cult railroad. 1t is a
good shipping point, being situated
in the midst OF as fine an agricultural
district as the sun ever Shone on.
The business men are live and ener-
setic, and the town has an active.
business appearance which denotes
prosperity.

to the sheriffality, he continued in
well doing and they always found

made no money out OF the office,

say of Bob Catron. as of Hanks,
that he has always been faithful to
his party, honest and efficient in the
discharge of his official duties, and
as between him and his competitor,
is only a matter of second term any
way. While they have nothing to

either of these gentlemen, nor denv
them their right to run, they feel
that they would like to see the Boys

slaughter to feed the vast multitude.
Long tables. which had been ar
ranged in square, were fairly
groanlng under white loaves and

the precautIon OF the good people of
Sprague, some were turned away
from the barbecue hungry, but not
from the town. for the hosp1table
denizens threw wide their portals
and invited all guests to partake of
their liberal stores. The crowd was
variously estimated at from four to
five thousand people.
According to a previously ar
| ranged programme, a JOINT discussion
was engaged IN between representa-
tives OF the three political parties.
John t. Smith, of Butler, repre-
sentlng the democratic party; w.
r. Biddle, OF Pleasanton, Kan, the
republican, and II. Martin Williams.

speech is stereotyped; his yarns are
good but stale, and his delivery is
very good, though his language is
| rough and grating to the refined peo-
| pie OF Bates county. He held up
| Ben Butler as the type of purity in
morals and politics. and explained.
! to his own satisfaction, how. if the
| greenhack party was in power, the
farmer would get more on bushel

! followed in characteristic republi-
can speech. He treated his oppo-
nents with due courtesy throughout.
| and his effort was pronounced by
many as beng able and logical. He
warned the democrats that there are
sixty thousand republican voters in
Missouri who have never cast their
ballots. This should encourage our
republican friends; it's good idea
to bring over speakers from bleeding
Kansas every now an then to keep
up their spirits. John T. Smith, in
his usual happy and impressive
style. thoroughly suited every argu-
ment of his opponents and held them
up TO light and reason; he showed
| the falicIes in the republican argu-
ments, as well as the ignorance dis
played IN the seeming arguments of
| Williams. Mr.. Smith made the
best political speech 1t has been our
pleasure to listen to for some time,
| and was vociferously applauded
throughout.
Taken all in all 1t was a great
gala day for Sprague and vicinity,
| and one long TO be remembered by
all who participated IN its pleasures.

Notes and Comments.

CALIFORNIAN: "If the lieutenant-gov-
ernor is to be promoted at every election,
it would be interesting to know whom the
politicians have selected for that position
this year."
THE New York Independent says "It
is reported that Senator Edmunds is
going to build himself new house but
it is hoped by his friends that arrange
ments will be made next November which
will render such a proceeding on his part
unnecessary for four years at least"
New YORK SUN: "Not impossible by
any means. For president, George F.
Edmunds of Vermont; for vice-president,
Robert T. Lincoln of Illinois. Platform
Union of the East and the West cool
Yankee intellect, combined with warm
Hoosier heart; virtue from Lake Cham
plain, reinforced by vigor from Lake
Michigan; the republican party not for a
day, but for all time; electoral frauds

New YORK TIMES: "The editor of
the Sun has seen private letter from
Senator-elect Payne of Ohio, saying ::
The Office sought me, and comes without
embarrassment of pledges of any sort
1t may be inferred from this that the cleo
ton was clean cash transaction, and
that, having 'got the office Mr.. Payne
feels that he has d right to do with it
what he chooses. We are glad to know
that there are no unpaid charges against
Mr.. Payne"
THE senatorial struggle in Kentucky

which is one way of saying that, in its
opinion, neither of them is quite good
enough for governor. They are not good

venture the opinion that if the state is
always able to secure for governor mer
who have proved themselves as irreproach
able, in public station and in private life
as George Nichols and Samuel f. Pingree
it will do pretty well.' This is, aud ha'

not expect anything Of this kind; and
that the inveterate and unwise practice

rary has not the qualities of heroic leader
ship in reform movement. Great lead
ers do not always wait for favorable cir
cumstances. They create circumstances.
The chances for breaking the one.term
rule are as good to-day as they have been,
or will be. The Free Press simply has not
had the energy, or the courage, or the in
clination, to 60 into an effective movement
of the kind, and it shirks the response
bility upon the fates. A judicious, out
spoken, untrammeled discussion, would
have done much to break the rule at this
election. 1t is the duty of public jour-
nal to create and develop a right public
opinion. The Free Press seems to be
waiting to be pushed along by the force
of public opinion. When the people are
all ready and anxious to adopt sensi-
BILE political customs, it is ready to throw
up its hat and hurrah for reform. We
believe public sentiment on this question
is already far in advance of the press /;
that the influence of the papers, in many
instances, is exerted to repress, rather
than encourage and develop, wholesome
public opinion that they are the allies of
few interested individuals who stand
between the people and the adoption of
wise and business-like political methods.
These, we believe, are the real sources of
the "inveterate and unwise practice of
the state" and there will be "small hope
of success Just so long as papers like
the Free Press continue supinely to wait
for living chances" and to bewail the
evils which they have not the hardihood
vigorously and persistently to combat.

THE system of winter sports which the
people of Montreal have been exhibiting
to the world is worthy of the very serious
attention of health and moral reformers,
of parents and friends of young men and
women, on this side the line. In New
England, and especially the northern part,
these Canadian sports can be successfully
introduced. In the larger villages the
toboggan slide, the curling or hockey rink,
the snow-shoe club should supplant other
enervating and pernicious means of amuse-
ments, and contribute to the development
of men and women with hardy frames,
and supple and sinewy muscles. Nothing
more powerfully impresses the American
spectator of the winter carnival sports
than the spectacle of young men and
women, of lads and lasses, in their pictur-
esque blanket suits, which snow nor
cold can penetrate, the glow upon their
cheeks and vigor aud tireless energy in
their movements, engaged together in
athletic exercises that build up strong,
manly and womanly characters, as we'll as
develop vigorous bodies and elastic frames.
Let New England parents and village Or
CARNATIONS take hold of this matter of
better outof-door sports for winter, ban
ish the murderous double runner, con-
struct slides and introduce the Indian
toboggan, vehicle swift as an arrows
flight, but yielding a harmless sport, in
describably fascinating aud exhilirating.
Nature has made toboggan slides in every
village in Vermont. A little labor and a
trifling expense will perfect them. Young
America of both sexes is bound to
slide. The streets are forbidden for this
amusement. The municipality, or ascot
ated friends and parents, should provide a
place safe and convenient, where there
can be no interference on either hand
The fields and hills afford room for snow
shoeing, and the ponds and streams fur
nish ice for the curling bonspiel and
hockey games. We hope Montpelier, in
particular, will take this matter into
serious consideration, and by another sea
son lead off in the introduction and en-
couragement here of Canada's royal win
ter amusements.

The Burlington Free Press believes
that the next republican state convention
can do no better than to nominate DIR.
Nichols for governor. Respecting the
one-term rule, the Free Press says /:
"There has been no governor since the
adoption of the biennial system whom we
would not have been glad to see re-
elected-and Governor Barstow, whose
administration has been second to none in
dignity and success, certainly forms no
exception to that desire. If there should
be living chance 10 break the one-term
rule with him, or any subsequent gov,
ernor, we shall for one be on the watch
for it, and hope to see the effort made

IT is gratifying to notice that some of

IT is gratifying to notice that some OF
the state papers are calling the attention OF
the towns to the subject of the town system
of schools. We hope to publish something
farther on this subject next week, and
in subsequent issues, till the March meet
ing. Meantime, care should be taken to
have legal notice put in the warning. The
law provides that the selectmen shall in
sert an article to abolish the district sys-
tenn on the application of three voters.
Information as to the practical working
of the system, where it has been long and
fairly tried, can be obtained in Waitsfeld,
Brighton or Middletown, among other
places. The consideration of the question
of adopting the system depends on the
active local efforts of the friends of good
schools. Many of the towns have COM
mittees looking the matter up. Where
no such step has been taken, prompt and
active individual effort should be made
for full and fair presentation of the sub
iect to the voters on the 4th of March.

Floods and Forests.

The cities and the country in the Ohio
valley were suffering last week from re-
currence of the terrible floods which
wrought such widespread devastation
about a year ago. At Wheeling, West
Virginia, city of about thirty thousand
inhabitants, three miles of the city front
were reported under water, ten thousand
people were homeless and unprovided for,
