Minnesota stands in the false position of
the protector of the lives of murderers. Our
penitentiary is the safe refuge and protection
of the Younger brothers, and other villain
GUS murderers, who ought, long since to
have expiated their bloody crimes upon the
gallows.
Out upon that sickly sentiment, that
diseased humanity, that would save and pro-
tect a clearly proven murderer before an in
elligept, self-respecting, and society respectt-
ing jury of twelve competent men.
Is a government Boosting of its free in
situations as its very corner stone, to
be preserved and perpetuated, or is
it to be whelmed with all its possibili-
ties for good to the human race in the vortex
of crime and misrule2 Read the morning
papers, where daily plethoric columns are
filled with accounts of the most startling as
well as minor crimes and offenses and re-
fleet on the question, whittier are we tending?
The question is forced as to whether a
Republic, government of free institutions,
can give proper protection to society, can
hold the lawless and growing hordes of muir
derres, and criminals Of every die and hue
in check or must the horoscope of the world
be turned backward and must there be
resort to stronger government, to despotic
or monarchical rule, for the protection Of
life and UNFOLDING of some form of solid Or

is time for the community and the country to
arouse and put forth proper and efficient eff
forts to stay our downward progress as ma
ton, into the vortex of destruction, superin-
duced by lax morality, improve social modes,
and improperly administered criminal JUS
tice.
To hesitate is unwise, to neglect to place
barriers to impending evils is perilous, for
the food-gates of immortality are open wide
and flooding the country with every possible
enOrmity.

1t will be noticed as singular that no re-
publican member Of congress has risen in
his seat and called the attention OF Mr..
Speaker to the Cincinnati outbreak and asked
for a.committee ofinquiry with power to send
Tor persons and papers.
1t is not long since at small place in the
south known as Danville there occurred a lit
Tie dispute among some of the citizens, with
the result that half dozen of the disputants
were killed and wounded. At once there
was an uproar in congress. The usual com
mittee of investigation was appointed and
months were given to the examination OF
witnesses and participants of the wretched
little squabble. But here is an outbreak in
which the killed and wounded reach up to
the hundreds. There is no word in congress
There is no stern demand that congress
shall interfere to prevent these recurring dis
turbances. There is no reflection on the
civilization or the political complexion of the
community of the section in which the riot
occurred. There is no assertion that another
amendment to the constitution is needed to
restrain the barbarity in the north, in whose
domain the occurrence took place. There is
strange unwonted silence in congression-
al halls
Had the same thing taken place under pre-
c1sely the same circumstances in any south
crn city there would long ere this be q move
ment for committee of examination and
every Republican newspaper and orator in
the north as well as every Republican ward
stricken and office-holder would have as
serted thousand times that it was all owing
to the unreconstructedp nature of the south,
was another phase of rebellion and should be
met by the stern measure of electing every
northern Republican candidate.

THE CYCLON
The Disaster Much Greater than EX-
pected, and the People Home
less and Destitute.

MUNcIE, Ind, April 3.--The cyclone which de-
stroyed Oakvile the day before yesterday, was
more extensive than at first reported. Instead
of devastating diatance of ten miles, it is learn
ed the tract extended twenty miles, sweeping
everything before it. There were numerous
other casualties, but as far as heard no additional
fatalities. Turner Johnson, the boy of
Oakville, whose skull was crushed,
died to-day, and jeff Hoover cannot
live. The loss in the county, outside OF Oakyille,
is estimated at S15O,OOO. Reports are received
of fifteen farmers whose houses and barns, most
y good ones, are totally destroyed ahd them
selves and families more or less injured, but few
seriously. One farmer had seventy-fiv acres of
fine timber blown down, and farm implements
along the entire track of the storm were blown
into splinters Losantsyille, few miles east is
reported utterly destroyed and few persons
killed. No particulars
In all this section the roads through the wood
lands have been absolutely impossible till the
axemen had cleared the way, and it is still ex-
IRENE ly difficult to travel through these
parts except on foot. The farmers in this sec
ton have lost their crops the last two years. and
are in very bad condition to stand this disaster
The homeless ones are being sheltered by those
fortunate enough 10 be outside the track OF the
storm. Relief is already coming in.

MAYOR AMEs' overwhelming dereat on
Tuesday was not due to desire for political,
moral, or municipal reform. If there is any
city that does not care for moral reform it is
Minneapolis. The real reason was because
Mayor Ames accepted the invitation of st.
Paul to attend the Northern Pacific celebra-
ton last September. Messrs. Washburn,
Fletcher and Langdon were obliged to go to
Hotel Lafayette on the evening of the ban
quet, because the train for the slast spike"
started from that point. They contented
themselves with looking in at the windows
from the piazza, while Ames occupied post
of honor, and responded to a toast. He
had also brought his Zouave company
down, in accordance with the orders of
his superior officer and participated in the
ST. Paul street parade. That is why he was
slaughtered. Minneapolis is ''broad guage"

A STEAMER BURNED.
A Number of Lives Lost Whilst Others
Were Severely Burned.

CoLUMBRs, Ga, April 3.-The steamer Re
becca Eyeringham, captain, George White
sides, burned this morning to the waters
edge, at Fitzgerald Landing, on the Chatta-
hoochee river, forty miles below this city.
The fire originated in the stern of the steam
er, and it is thought, from an electric lamp
spark. The passengers saved escaped in
their night clothes. The following are the
list of the lost
Mrs. Ayen, of Cuthbert, Ga.
Miss Simpson, Fort Gaines, Ga.
Julia Anderson, chambermaid.
Richard Coleman, pantryman.
Adolph Thomas, fireman.
A. Stephens and
Randolph Singer, deck hands.
Bob Griffith, stevedore
Three hundred and seven bales of cotton
and small miscellaneous freight were burned
The boat was valued at S24, 600 and is a total
loss, there being no insurance. There were
sixteen cabin and nine deck passengers on
board. The steamer belonged to the Cen
trail line and piled on the Chattahoochee
river between this city and Apaachicola bay.
The passengers who escaped have reached
this city, and some of them are severely
burned.
Among the missing are a colored woman
and child, names unknown; two white men,
unknown, and D. D. Williams, Lagrange
Capt George II. Whitesides, commander is
painfully burned. All the officers did their
duty. The conduct of Pilot George L.
Lapham and son, lad fourteen years old,
are specially commended. They remained
on board, and materially assisted in landing
the passengers.
In fact, nothing was saved, Capt. J. White
sides, mate, was in command, and with George
Lapham, pilot, and Isaac Carey, engineer, were
highly commended by the passengers for their
efforts to save life. E. W. Williams, Lagrange, is
dangerously burned. Part of the crew
on the steamer Rebecca Everingham reached
Columbus tonight, and state that strong gale
was blowing when the cotton on the deck ignited,
supposed by spark from the electric lamp, and
the flames spread so rapidly it was impossible to
control it, and in a moment it extended through
to the cabin Orders were given Immediately to
land her on the Georgia side, which was done in
two minutes, the passengers jumping from the
cabin deck and roof to the land. The cabin
filled so quickly with dense smoke and flames.
the passengers had to escape to the roof in their
night clothes. The passengers were all aroused
on the first alarm by the officers, and all escaped
but two ladies in the cabin, who were supposed
to have been suffocated by the smoke. The
boats, books and papers were lost, with the pas
sengers' baggage.

exempting bank and insurance presidents, tellers

classes who are exempt from jury duty, and
things are already at such pass that a trial by
jury is dreaded more than any other feature of

reform and legislatures instead of destroying
what there remains of the system should either
abolish it altogether, take steps to strengthen
