A Chills and Fever Candidate

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Sun extracts: Nei-
ther party can win without the aid of New
York. Indeed, there Is as much probability
that Butler will throw the election into the
House, or even carry New York himself, as
there is that either Blaine or Cleveland can
become President without the vote of this
State. Cleveland was nominated by the
votes of men from the West, who were pre-
pared to admit that he was not strong IN
their section, but claimed wonderful strength
for him in New York. New York Demo-
Gratis are telling rs their candidate may be
weak here, but he is tremendously popular
out West. Cleveland appears to be sort of
chills and fever candidate; they've always
got him somewhere else.

THE murder of Mormons in Tennessee
was a cowardly and villainous deed, not the
less reprehensible because the victims were
Mormons. The attacking party went there
armed and OH lawless errand and attacked
these Elders when they had assembled at the
house of friend to hold their services.
However offensive their doctrines, so long as
they did not violate the laws they were enti-
tied to the protection of law, and their assal-
ants should be punished to Its full extent.
Polygamic Mormonism is besstly thing,
but numbering is not the way to eradicate
the evil.

II was our pleasure on Saturday last to
meet Col. o. J. Hollister, of Salt Lake City,
the late u. S. Revenue Collector for Utah.
At the time Utah, Wyoming and Montana
we're consolidated into one district, Col. I'll.
was appointed collector for the new territory
formed, but In some way best known to q
few, the appointment was revoked by the
President and the mantle fell on Capt. Full
Ter, of Montana.-Liringston Tribune.
There was nothing mysterious or strange
about the matter, except in Capt. Fuller not
being appointed at first. or the three Ter
ritories Montana paid the largest revenue,
and on the consolidation into one District,
Capt. Fuller, Collector of the Montana Dis
trict, was properly made collector of the con-
solidated District.

A Duel to the Death.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 14.-A Chattanooga spe-
cial TO the Post-Dispateh says very sensa-
tional tragedy occurred at Emery Gap, on
the Cincinnati Southern Railway, fifty miles
above that city, last night. About ten days
ago young man named Staples made num-
etous slurring remarks concerning Will Fl.
Rogerson, from Cleveland, Ohio. These
soon reached Rogerson's ears, and Staples
being cripple, Rogerson challenged him to
fight duel. The challenge was accepted,
and at ten o'clock last night they fought &C
ten PAGES with pistols, and both were killed.

THE Salt Lake Tribune urges the people OF
Idaho to discard party affiliations, for Demo
Gratis and Republicans to unite against the
Mormons, who are now dangerously threat
ening TO obtain control of that Territory.
The advice is not likely to be taken, and yet
IL may be timely and wise.

THERE Is little TO note concerning the
cholera in Europe the past week. 1t contin-
ues to spread out into the country, but Is not
so yruient and fatal as In the larger cities.
In Toulon, probably from some change OF
weather, there was an increase OF serious
cases in the early part Of this week, but alto
gethsr the pestilence has not nearly reached
the proportions apprehended, and the people
of the cities are reassuming tranquility.

SEARCHING His Record.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The Tribune this
morning says that facts enough are already
given the public and admitted by his friends,
to stamp Cleveland as a man without char
acter or the qualifications necessary for the
high Office he seeks, but the half has not yet
been told. The Tribune has had a cores
truth in regard to this so-called reformer' s
public record, and tomorrow we shall pre-
sent the first installment of Cleveland's ex-
perience as sheriff.

letter from New York, Aug. 10, says: "New

BLAINE has pursued the only course open
to him In prosecuting for libel the paper
which has assailed the character Of bis fam
lily. To be sure there are the borsewhip and
shotgun remedies, which many would deem
for such cases made and provided, but these
are barred TO a candidate for the Presidency.
The method OF redress taken will, however,
only be effective If pushed TO speedy hear
ing. II the courts seek to dispense justice
the case can be advanced on the calendar
and speedily tried. No editor should make
such charges under any circumstances, and
certainly not unless having incontestable
evidence OF their truth. II will therefore be
no hardship for HIM, II he Is fortified with
proof, TO respond Immediately. IL such .
case Is allowed TO lie dormant Through the
campaign, a great wrong will be done. IL
should come TO trial and the mouths OF vitu-
peration be silenced 1t once.

A RESPECTABLE element of the American
people are kicking themselves quite vigor-
ously all around the country for the dis
graceful stories that have been sprung as
campaign material in the Presidential con-
test. 1t is true their character is more
vicious, unclean, vulgar and humiliating
this time than usual, but the history Of Pres
idential campaigns shows that vile abuse has
been heaped on almost every candidate from
Washington down. II is one Of the misfor-
tunes of popular election that candidate
for the most exalted station on earth has for
over hundred days to run gauntlet Of
filth in the eyes of all the world. Then,
when Presidents have been dead reasona-
BILE length Of time, we canonize them as pos
sessed of all the virtues. There is inconsis-
tency III this, with strong flavor Of total
depravity and folly.

KELLEY i, q good slayer. 1t has been
many year since his motor was announced
as having revolutionized the question of pro-
Polling power, and although he succeeded in
securing vast sums of money, his machine
never materialized. Recently the stock
holders refused to put up any more money
until there was a public exhibition Of the
motor, which has hitherto been locked up in
brick walls, invisible to everybody. The
Secretary of the Company now announces
Kelley will have his engine completed by
the close of the present month, AID further
that he will give an exhibition Of bis new
force for the discharge of guns, instead Of
powder, in the presence of army officers at
Fort Hamilton. The opinion has long pre-
vailed that the Kelley motor is delusion.

SOME very good reasons are given BY the
Bozeman Chronicle why the proposed con-
stitution should be adopted as 1t now stands.
On the subject Of taxation, 1t substantially
agrees with the views we have already ex-
pressed In these columns, and points out
that the opposition arises more from a care
less reading of the section in controversy
than any wrong possible or intended. We
are glad to see the subject is being discussed
and shall have more to say thereon hereafter.

General Butler says in note that the ad-
dress is issued sooner than intended, at the
solicitation of personal friends, but some
what against his own Judgment. l had
hoped, he says, to have had the advantage OF
a distinct statement of the principles by the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
and, as contained from his own declarations
whether recanting some of his public opin-
ions he might not show himself better than
the official action of his party has shown it,
self by its platform. General Butler ad-
dresses himself directly to his constituents,
which word is found TO embrace the people
Of the United States.

100 LATE.

What silenees We keep year after year.
With those who are most near to us aud
dear;
We live beside each other day by day.
And speak Of myriad things. but seldom
say
The full, sweet word tina, lies just in Our
reach,
Beneath tho eonnenplaee Of common
speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach they
go
These close familiar friends, who loved
Us SO;
And, sitting in the sh a.low they have left.
Alone, with loneliness, and sore bereft,
We think with vain regret Of some fond
word,
That once We might have said aud they
have heard.
For weak and poor the love that We ex-
/ pressed
Now seems beside the vast, sweet unex
pressed.
And sligh. the deeds we did. to those un.
done,
And small the service spent, to treasure
won,
And undeserved the praise, for word and
deed
That should have overfowed the simp le
need.
This is the cruel cross Of life, to bc
Full yisioned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled, and in the
place
OF some dear presence is but empty space.
What recolloctcd services eau then
Give consolation for the might have
been.
