To Race with a Revolution.

ii Mr. James G. Blaine knew whom aud
what ne is fighting, he would probably be
very glad TO withdraw from the contest. He
believes no doubt that he has to do battle
only with the Democratic party ana its IN
dependent Republican allies. He thinks
that the object of the combat IS the posses
sion of the Presidency OF the United States
No nan ever made a greater mistake The
suppression of Mr.. Blaine is but an incident
in the plan of the campaign which began
last June, and which will be brought to a
successful ending sooner or La or, as surely
SIS the sun rises and sets; as surely as truth
is true.
The overcon6dent faulty OF the Republi-
can leaders keeps them blind to the fact that
they are now face to face with revolution
They know, indeed, that there is a revolt
within the party lines against personally
Objectionable candidate. Farther than this.
they can not, or will not, see. Theirs is the
history of all overfed powers When the
people of Paris came down to Versailles and
shouted for bread, under the Kings window,
Louis XVI. doubtless understood that they
wanted bread, and the only question TO him
wss whether they should get it or not.
When, a few years later, he stood
on the sCaffOld one winter morning the idea
had probably made its way into his dull
head that the people had al along wanted
something more than mere bread. They had
wanted, he saw, Justice, the right OF self gov
eminent, personal freedom, ald, more tnan
any one thing, the recognition Of a principle
the principle Of equality.
The revolution that has begun, the revolu-
ton that will turn our world over into the
sunlight of honest government, is not a
struggle of blood. 1t will know neither gull
lotiue nor rifles. 1t is revolution OF thought
and feeling. For the most part unorgenizsd

Selling Crops and stock


Large crops are not always the greatest
blessing to the farmer. 1t is not the man
who makes the most money that becomes
the richest but the man who saves most. 81,
also, the man who makes the most judiclous
disposition of the products of the farm is the
one that comes out best in the end, aud not
ALWAYS the one who produces the largest
amount There is usually a tendency to ex-
travsgance, but there are other evils besides
promoting extravaganza that attend the pro-
ductiol of an unusually large crop on the
farm. The present general prospects aud
present extra ordinary outlook in some sec
tons should cause the farmers to call to mind
some of these evils. Marketing a corn crop
from the West, when the price is low, is rem
dered almost out of the question, owing 70
the long lines of transportation. The great
question, then, is how to reduce it to
more condensed form. This form gen
orally is beef or pork. Now, the first effect
of a very large crop is to enhance the value
of stock cattle and hogs, and the next effect
to reduce the value OF both beef and pork.
Frequently these effects are seen and expert
enced to the extent of leaving the herd,
when fattened of little or no more value
than before the crop was fed into it. Many
of our readers can call to mind just such oc-
casions. In this connection there are sew
eral points for the farmer to consider. Fist,
that they have bat little to do in fixing
prices. II the consumer is willing and able
to pay a good price, it is done; If not, then
less price must take the goods. Farmers eau
not hold cattle and hogs six months or year
after they are once fat The next thing to
be noticed is that present indications point
to lower prices, aud there is no
step more natural for q farmer with
a large crop than to buy ad-
ditional stock to feed ii to, even at exor-
bitant prices If the large crops are confined
to few individuals or localities it is the
right thing to do, but, if they are general, it
will result in Ices. 1t is no argument to say
there is no other course to pursue II It
brings him no more money than he pays OUT
the farmer at least, had better crib his cora
and save it and his labor. So far as the great
mass Of consumers is concerned the result is
different. Though the farmer may lose his
labor the necessaries OF life become cheap
and they are benefited, aud thus the large
CROP to them becomes a blessing. For the
individual who cares for his own best inter
ests it will not DO to embark in any great
enterprise on the strength OF the profits on
feeding, more especially if the stock fed Is to
be bought at the prices that are likely to rule
this fall, provided the crops hold up to what
present prospects would lead as to expect.

Blaine voted for or failed to oppose every

knew him as a lobbyist before he entered
Congress, seeking contracts for the supply
OF arms. They knew him while in Con-

of wildcat corporations; ruling IS Speaker to
save their bills, and, as claiming reward for

as vet, the honest and thoughtful men OF
this country are gathering around one
standard for a common purpose. In
one sense the nomination OF Mr.. Blaine has
been blessing to the country. Now that
the very standard beareriof corruption is put
up for President of the United States, we
have something concrete aud tangible to
fight against. The issue is put squarely be-
fore u.s. and we may sIft our friends from
our enemies, and know whom to trust in the
coming struggle. We have no longer to
seek an unscknowledged enemy in the dark.
We may now divide the people OF the coun-
try into two camps-on the one side the men
who are willing that we should have corrupt
government; on the other the men who are
determined that we shall not.

The Blaine Marriage"
New York Worid1


Mr. Blaine is peculiarly unfortunate in his
correspondence. Mr.. William Walter Phelps,
with the fiendish malevoIence of a Mulligan,
gives to the public this morning letter re-
Gently written to him by Mr.. Blaine, ex-
planning the peculiar and mysterious feat
ures of the marriage in kentucky, out of
which the indianapolis Sentinel scandal
grew According to Mr.. Blaine it was a Sc
Cret marriage, and when he found that the
relations between himself and wife were IN
lawful he left Kentucky and had the mar
risge ceremony regularly performed in
Pennsylvania. 1t is a sad and sOrrOwful sub
ject, and although the letter contains an
appeal to the American people for sympathy
and votes, it would have been better If Mr..
Blaine had not written it. Having elected
to carry the matter into a court of justice be
should have sought his vindication there.
Even now he should hasten to disabuse the
public mind of the idea that be is respOn-
sible for the delay in the Indianapolis libel
suit
Mr.. Bleine never appeared to the intelli-
gent people of the country as ANYTHING but
a shrewd politician and q canning dema-
gogue. In the blush light Of his letter this
morning detailing the story OF his domestic
life he assumes a character that most modest
citizens will blush to contemplate. No can
cidAte for the Presidency has yet stopped so
low for votes and sympathy. The tombstone
incident is particularly pathetic.

Deputy Sheriff Hall then ordered him to throw up hls hands and come out of the brush, the sheriff keeping him covered with hls gun while he ap- preached; Charles M. Shannon searched his person for arms, and finding none, was informed by Taggert that his pis- tol was in the brush, with all the loads discharged, which was the reason of his surrender. The only one of those who escaped from the jail, now at large, is Kit Joy He is being pur- sued, and when last heard of was ill Arizona. He had received money from some person in Lordsburg, N. M., who, if discovered, should be lynched for assisting a murderer to escape.
 Upon discovering that Joseph N. Laffer, one of the citizens in pursuit, had been killed, it was determined by his comrades to at once dispose of Lee and Taggert, which was done by hanging them to tree. The four bodies were placed in a wagon and carried to Silver City, and became the indiyided property of the coroner, who, having no use for them, gener- ously presented them to the grave digger, and who, in turn, gave them as food for worms. The life of Spen- cer was spared for the reason that, upon an examination of his gun, no shot had been fired by him. He was returned to his quarters in the jail. Those who pursued and engaged in the killing, are entitled to the warm est commendation, and are receiving it upon every hand.
 The escape was effected by over towering the guards and locking them in the cells. The guards guns afforded the means of resistance.

A NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL CAUGHT.

A Santa Fe special to the St. Louis Republican, announces the capture of Tommy Bowe in Helena, Montana. The following is the despatch:
 SANTA FE, March 13.-Gov. Sheldon to-day received telegram from the governor of Montana announcing the capture at Helena of the noted New Mexico desperate known as Tom Bowe. Wm. Steele of Helena was appointed by Gov. Sheldon as territorial agent to escort Bowe to New Mexico and de- liver him into the hands of the Grant county authorities. It is thought he will be lynched on arrival. Bowe went to Silver City from Arizona in 1874 ill company with two men named Hart and Phillips, both of whom were murderers. The trio had just robbed stage in Arizona and rob bed a man named Sam Bullock of $1,60O.* A month after their arrival Bowe killed man named Jack Clark over faro table in Wards dance hall, and skipped for the mountains. He brought up at Lime Kiln. Sheriff Whitehill and a posse of four trailed him down and took him in about 3 o'clock in the morning. He was given a hearing be- fore a justice and was cleared. In September, 1877, he killed one ofSilver City's wealthiest citizens--Dick How lett-over game of poker, in Geo. Spears saloon, and made his escape to Mexico. Thence he went to California and Montana, and finally showed up in New York, where he remained short time, and again returned to Montana, where he was going under the name of Pat Delaney.
 Rewards were offered for his capture as follows: By the territory $500; by the citizens of Silver City, $450; by Howlett's estate, $500; by Charles Hewlett, brother of the murdered man, $200--making a total reward o$1 ,650 Detective Edward Connors of Lords burg is the man who effected his cap ture. Bowe also killed a man in Pueblo, Col, and was run out of Santa Fe for attempting to run the town with shotgun.

Filler, the Pacific Express Clerk, who absconded from St. Louis with $10O,000 of the companys mon ey, was captured in Milwaukee and the money re- covered. He was brought back to St. Louis, and confined in a room on the fifth floor of the Lindell Hotel, po- liceman being placed on guard in the hallway to prevent the prisoners es- cape. General Manager Morseman occupied the adjoining room and also kept his eye peeled. But while Morse
 man was busy writing Filler escaped unobserved through a window and de- scended by fire escape to the balcony over'the main entrance to the hotel. He then entered and passed through a lady's bed room to the hall, but not being acquainted with the Louse, he descended into the ladies ordinary and found the door opening onto the
 street locked, so he was compelled to retrace his steps and was nabbed by an officer before he could reach the street. He was then turned over to the police authorities and locked up.

A fearful disaster occurred on the 18th instant, III the Laurel Creek mine at Pocahontas, Va., caused by the ex. plosion of gass, which resulted in the killing of 155 miners. The force oi the explosion was so great that the flaming machine, engine and cars were blown 300 feet from the entrance of the mine. The engineer and his assistant, who were working at the mouth of the mine, were blown several hundred feet and both fearfully man, gled, the engineers head and legs being severed from the body. Of all those at work in the mine not one re- mains to tell the story. The discovery that the mine was on fire made the situation more horrible A party of men attempted to go down into the mine to bring out the victims, but the flames shot up around the cage in which they were being lowered, and one of their number was overcome and dropped into the pit, and the others escaped badly burnt. No further ef- fort was made to bring the bodies of the victims out, but the few mutilated forms and fragments of human flesh which had been blown out of the mine were collected and presented a sick ening sight. The cause of the explo- sion is attributed to the insufficient flaming power.
