st. Louis Post-Dispatch (Dem.) :
The Democ ratio party has followed
the Republican party to Chicago. IF
it cannot agree upon any legislative
reform in Congress it cannot in con-
vention. It has flung aside one Ohio
Senator who made an effort to collect
the millions which the Pacific rail-
roads owe. 1t has crushed another
Ohio Senator who dared to advocate
civiI-service reform. Now it is pro-
posed that its nominations shall be
tossed about from one millionaire to
another till one is found willing to
lead it in a mere ce-seeking raid.
with nothing inscribed on its banner
except "Turn the rascals out" As a
party, it has survived some terrible
tests of its vitality. and it NAV not
die of the doses with which its nurses
are now examining its nauseated
stomach.

Sunday Telegraph /: The moment
Uncle Sam is supplied with positive
proof that Mr.. Taylor, the Mormon
president, said "When they come
West to wipe ont polygamy they will
find 100000 muskets pointed east =
ward" he should begin arrangements
for sending an army to Utah, with the
view of digging Mormonism up by the
roots and burning The roots. It may
be set down as a fixed fact that poly
gamy-which is as plain a violation of
the constitution of the United States
as it was for the rebels to arm for the
overthrow of the governnent-will
not be suppressed without the roar of
cannon and the rattle of musketrY,
and the longer these are delayed the
more of them will be needed to sup
press the evil. The Mormons under
stand, this, and are preparing for it.
They are scattering into Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming and California, and
other sections are being entered by
them, and foot-holds are being secur-
ed. 1t is only question of time when
the government will have to take
Mormondom by the throat. So long
as this is true, why not do so when
an army of $4,000 can do the business
instead of waiting until three times
that number Of soldiers will be
required

Harris the murderer of Viereka has
implicated another man in the murder

confession that they were going to rob
Viereka of his money. Harris was TO
kill Viereka and then go to one of the
neighbors to spend the night while
Surgeons part was to go through the
house and rob it of its valuables and
to kill Mrs. Viereka should she offer
any resistance. The wickedness of
murders heart is too black and Internal
to be pictured and the law and order

their degradation. that they may not
hope to impose themselves upon a
LIBERAL people. Frown them down.

Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.) No
public man in the country has larger
following of admiring and enthusiastic
friends than Mr.. Blaine. He has
many of the traits that fit him for a
popular leader. He is bold, dashing,
and aggressive, ready in speech and
fertile in resources, with that personal
that attracts and charms.
1t is his misfortune, however, that
there exists at least strong minority
of the most intelligent and indepen-
dent members of the party who are
inveterately hostile to him, and the
knowledge of this fact gives pause to
many who would otherwise warmly
advocate his nomination.

is at present subjected to. The Govern

were in constant dread of two terrible
and detested extremes-the police on

other. Among the list of persons pre-
scribed for sentence to dealt. BY the
Anarchists were the Emperor and

A Discarded Lover Kills the Object Of
His Affection and Then Himself.
RACINE, Wis, Feb. AT one o'clock
Sunday Andrew johnson. a discarded lover
of Bertha Brassman, entered the kitchen of
Lepage's restaurant, where she was at work.
and, grabbing her by the dress and without
a word Of warning, sent a bullet through
her heart. As she fell he fired o
second shot through her back. She
ran to the street and fell dead on
the sidewalk. Almost instantly johnson
placed the revolver to his heart and fired,
causing immediate death. The murderer
had been drinking heavily the night before,
and continued his debauch till the morning,
and a few moments before he completed
the awful deed he shot at an acquaintance
named GulbransOn, the bullet perforating
his clothing. Johnson was reputed to be .
cyank, and had made threats at various
times to murder Bertha and kill himself, and
a short time ago pointed a revolver ut her.
Iie murdered girls age was sixteeu
and that of the murdered nineteen. The
Immediate cause of the tragedy was the re.
lGSal of Miss BrasSman to accept a valentine
Ghich he had sent to her and seeing her in

MONTROsE, COL, Feb.
There is great excitement in town tonight
over the shooting of City Marshal c. b.
Murphy and Judge Edwards, a Justice oil
the Peace and Police Judge, by a cowboy
named Watson, who was bound over IN
July to the District Court for splitting in
the Judges face. He was fined SO n
costs, which amounted to about $115. About
dark the Marshal was attacked and shot IN
the ankle or just above. The man being on
his horse, he fired at him, but missed. Sew
eral shots were fired by citizens. Return
ing in about half an hour, the desperate
drew his pistol on Frank Mason, when
Judge Edwards came up and drew his pis-
toll on Watson, commanding him to throw up
his hands. Watson spurred his horse. went
q few feet, refined up. took deliberate aim
at the Judge and fired four shots, one ball
entering about three inches below the left
nipple. The town is in arms after the man
Watson, who has had more than a hundred
shots fired at him. At a corner his horse
fell, and persons, thinking he was hurt, ran
to pick him up, but before they could get to
him be was mp and OF his horse again. The
Marshal, Bob Murphy, started in pursuit,
but did not overtake him.
Not only did he threaten to kill the three
men already named, but he swore he would
burn the town, and it is feared by some
persons that be may return here yet to-
night and undertake it. 1t is now nearly
twelve O'Clock and Sheriff Johnson has just
called to see your correspondent to give an
account of the first attempt TO catch Wat
son tonight. The Sheriff was returning
from Colorow, a town between here and
Delta, and when about four miles north
west from here he met his deputy. Mr..
LOTUS, with the other officers. They had
followed Watson across the Uncompaghre
River, but he eluded them. Five armed
and mounted men were sent to Baldwin'S
Cowcamp to look out for Watson, and it is
expected that if he goes there he will be
captured, as there is but one man there.
The camp is twenty-five miles to the north
east of here, where he could get a fresh
horse and u supply of cartridges. for which
purpose it is expected he will so there, as
lie has doubtless made up his mind by this
time to fight u long hard, and desperate
fight. Watson is probably thirty-eight
years old, a stout built man with heavy
black whiskers, a determined looking face,
such a man as others would fear.

A Railway Train Caught in the Mountains
7 Of Southern ColOradO-Terrible Expert
ence of the Passengers-The San Juan
Country Showed Under.
DENVER, COL, Feb. :.
A special from Durango tonight says
that the snow-storm there has abated, but
the country is literally showed under.
Snow-slides between Durango and Silver
ton have completely Frustrated the tele-
graph and telephone wires, and Silverton
and all the upper portion Of the San Juan
country is shut off from the outside world.
The Rio Grande trail due in Durango on
Sunday arrived there this evening after
having been tied up for several days. The
train-nFn made renewed efforts to push
the train through, and by using several en-
gines and snow-plows succeeded in getting
in this evening. The passengers say they
Jared better than could be expected unser
the circumstances.
The train which left Durango ON Sunday
evening, bound for Denver, after success
fully crossing the divide, stuck in a bank a
few miles from Osier, a small station On
the downward slope of the main divide.
All efforts to free themselves proved futile,
and preparations were made by the pas
sengers to pass the night on the mountains
as best they could. Next day the train
men, assisted by the passengers, put forth
their hest efforts to cut a way thi Ough the
banks of snow, but they were unsuccess-
full. Provisions on the train were then be-
coming low. Up to that time the contents
of the express car had supplied food for
the passengers. Then the fuel gave out,
and some u~neasiness begantO be felt.
Two of the trainmen volunteered to at
tempt to reach Osier and get assistance.
They started out to weather the storm, with
the chances greatly against them reaching
their destination. They relate their ex-
perience as being full of the greatest hard
ships and most perilouS adventures. They
could not follow any trail and struck out
overland towards Osier. At times the two
men were covered over head with snow,
and had it not been for the assistance one
was capable of rendering the other, both
would have persisted. AS it was, after
hours OF the greatest fatigue, they reached
the snow-bound settlement of OSier, and i'll
formed the citizens of the p~erilOus position
OF the passengers OF the delayed train. A
relief party was at once organized and men
started out on snowshoeS for the train,
loaded with provisions. These men were
followed by others, and as the first relief
party has returned to OSier after having
landed their load of food to the distressed
passengers there need be no longer any ap-
prehensions of their safety, as plenty OF
provisions can thus be carried in on snow
shoes.
Osier is near the famous Toltec Gorge, o
romantic place, where Eastern tourists are
wont to linger in summer and drink in the
grandeur of the finest scenery in the Rocky
Mountains. All the available engines in
Denver and along the line OF The Rio Grande
nave been sent out to assist in the relief OF
the snow-bound passengers.

THE other day a bright little boy only
eleven years old. named Francis Divine,
was taken to Ottawa. ILL.,, to be confined
in Jail for illicit liquor selling in
Streator. The Sheriff looked at the
fearful little fellow and told the officer
he would pay the fine first before put
ting such. an immature child in Jail
along with professional thieves, burg
lars and other criminals. The fact was
developed that his father was an illicit
iiquor-seller in Streator, and that the
boy was compelled to sell whisky by his
unnatural father and mother, for which
he was fined fifty dollars. When asked
why the father was not punished. the
officer said he had fled. The boy was
sent back home.
