rington in Washington

A telegram was received from Olympia,
Washington Territory, yesterday by w. w.

ment of the accidental death of his brother

ture, of which he was an honored, upright
and useful member. He leaves wife and
two children, son and daughter both

state.
By the result of many years
of hard labor and strict attention to duty he
amassed quite comfortable competence,
so that bis family will be we'll provided for
The body will be brought to his old home for
interment, and the news of the abrupt ter
mination of useful and honorable career
will be received with pain and regret
wherever he was known.

Spos Cash.


II has been some time since st. Paul has
been selected as the place in which to bring
out new play, and the production of the
drama to be given at the Grand this evening
BY the NJ. B. Curtis comedy company, Is
therefore anticipated with more
than the usual interest. The
play referred to is entitled s.Spot Cash,
or Sam'l of Posen on the Road,'' and it is a
sequel to the entertaining drama starred in
by Mr.. Curtis last season. The success OF
''sarn'l of Posen,n when produced in st.
Paul last season, viii be readily remem-
bercd, and there is reason to believe that the
new play will meet with even greater de-
gree of favor. Mr.. Curtis has been at work
for many months in arranging for the pro-
duction of his new play. and he has been
most lavish Ia the * peBd;ture OF both time
and money to make II the emphatic success
looked for.
A sketch of the play vas given In the Sun
day GLOBE, and as may be seen By reference
to the article of that date, the plot is repIete
with good effects and stirring incidents
The company IS new throughout and com.
prises several comedians, besides Mr.. Curtis
The scenery of course is all new, and it i:
bright and elaborate, 90 that taken all in all
the play should be accorded rousing SEND
oil at to-night's performance, when it will BIZ
seen for the first time on any stage.

ASSASSINATION APpLaUDED.

Mormon missionaries are being shot in
Tennessee, and the average newspaper pub
Usher in the north is crying, 'sHallelujahi
Serves them rightl'' This is especially the
gleeful hosannah of the Republican editor,
who, in his anxiety to place himself before
the public as q hater of the practices of Nor
monism, does not hesitate to commend
murder as holy means for the obliteration
of this relic of barbarism. The Republican
party has now had charge of the government
for nearly a quarter of a century, and at
each quadrennial convention it has passed
resolutions pledging itself to the extermina-
ton of polygamy. Every campaign, its ora
tors have denounced polygamy and have de-
manded its abolition. All these years Nor
monism has lourfshed, and vrtnous Re-
publicanism has not taken a single step in
the direction of itssremoval.
At present its only defined policy appears
to be the encouragement through its news
papers of the murder of Mormon mission
aries. Mormonism sends out its adherents,
who, whatever may be their views as to the
relative value in social system, of one wife
and six harlots, and two wives and no har-
lots, are sincere in their belief that what
they 60 forth to preach is true religion.
They, at least, whatever may be the case
with the leaders of the Mormon church, do
honestly and firmly believe they are advo-
eating pure religious faith; and on this &C
count society owes them certain amount Of
liberation, and even respect 1t may regard
q don fol tn
vent their preaching by Punishment, or con-
fnement; but it has no more right to assas-
sinate them than it has to assassinate any
other class of missionaries.
The Chinese sometimes kill missionary,
and the cannioals always eat one when they
have an opportunity; and for this, when we
can, we lombard port and kill off a few
hundred natives, or collect big indemnity
Down in Tennessee, the calling out of a
Mormon missionary, and the shooting of
HIM at sight, is regarded as rather the cor
rect thing to do. estate legislation" says
a Chicago publication, s'may see some way
OF checking within their jurisdictions the de-
bauching of the people by the ineulcation of
polygamous doctrines, but if they cannot it
is evident that the people will, as they haze the
right to do, introduce measures [murderl that
will accomplish that result"
Meanwhile, decent people will conclude
that murder and assassination are not proper
measures under any circumstances. If the
people can find no remedy from an evil save
cold-blooded killing by mobs, such people
are accursed by their own weakness, and
themselves should be exterminated. In ad-
dition to these considerations, people of any
intelligence and information know that no
harm has resulted to religious faith
| whether true or false one) by the murder
of its advocates. All history unites in show
ing that persecution strengthens the faith of
those at whom it is directed. If the Republi-
cans cannot extirpate an evil by legal meth
DDS, let them give way to party which can
protect society without an alliance with as
sassination.

The relative positions of the National
league teams have not changed at all since
our last report, but it is little more certain
which of the teams will win the champion
ship. Providence has now an advantage Of
four games over Boston, and predictions are
freely made that the Rhode Island city will
fly the pennant All the other teams are too
far in the rear to hope to take the trophy, but
some of them may creep up towards the top
somewhat. Indications point to Chicago's
getting ahead of New York in the next two
weeks, though neither is likely to wrest
third place from Buffalo. The Bisons have

Blaine Invoking the Sympathy of the
Cemetery TO Secure Vote.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Aug. 17.-The Kennebec
Journ0I tomorrow will say: "Much feeling has
been excited In this community by an event OF
extraordinary character. in the well known
cemetery lot OF the stanwood family the infant
son of Blr. and Mrs. Blaine lies buried.
The child died in July, 81, and its resting
place is marked by a beautiful memorial OF
marble erected in 1855, on which the date of the
birth and death were plainly inscribed in raised
letters. About two weeks ago it was dis
covered that the date Of the child's birth had
been carefully chselled away. 1t was
quickly discovered and an intimate friend
OF the Blaine family placed a detective
on the track Of the perpetrators who
have not yet been discovered, but it is
believed clue has been found in the fact that
directly after the mutilation OF this memorial
person whose name is known had copies OF the
alleged record sent TO newspapers in various
parts Of the country antagonstc to Blaine. The
motive for the act OF vandalism is scarcely ap-

fruit to have committee of that organiza-

American association.

The st. Louis team seems to be bent on
mischief, and we advise all its opponents to
keep sharp eye out for future develop
ments. The club has slipped past Louisville
during the week, and is now but five games
behind Metropolitan, the leader, and three in
the rear of Columbus, the second in line.
Matters are decidedly mixed, however, among
the solid five, and Cincinnati may yet prove
too much for them all. The Toledo team
has been somewhat shaky, inan cially, but it
will probably finish the season. 1t is likely
to win good many games, too, as it has
been rengthened greatly of late. The fact
that Columbus was tied by the team on Satur-
day in ten-inning contest is sufficient evil
dence that Toledo can now play first-class
team in fine style. The result of tie season. IS

the Republicans of Ohio elected a legislature
it was upon pledge of what they would do
upon this matter, They were trusted, and
passed into power, but during two sessions
of the legislature no action was taken such as
had been pledged. As soon as possible the
Republican party there was put out of power,

likely to be for some time to come. The

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 17.-There were between
1900 and people present at the base ball park
this afternoon. The performance was confined
to the fourth inning when Milwaukee made four
single and one two base hits, and eight runs out
of a total of ten for the game Cushman occu-
pied the pitchers box for five innings,
when he was relieved By Baldwin. The capture
of Griffin S hot liner by Andrus in the second in
ming was pretty feature of the game, as was
Hogan's hard run for the successful gripping of
Nichols fly in the ninth. A double play by An
drus, Reid and Isaacson in the seventh was
fine piece of work, and received
demonstrations OF appreciation from the grand
stand. Cushman surprised the multitude and
himself as well by not only reaching first base,
but following it up with run, his third for the
season on the home grounds. Falch, of Mil
waukee, umpred the game, and was very accur-
ate rendering judgment, there being no occasion
for fault finding by either nine.
