II is now recognized and confessed
that the New Orleans exposition is not
a success, neither is it exactly failure.
Its weak point is the failure to attract
tho crowds which arc needed to make il
a success. Southerners, Us a class. are
not accustomed to travel, and the
journey from the North, even with ex.
cursion rates, is so long and expensive
that comparatively few people can af-
ford time aud money required TO make
the trip with any degree of satisfaction.
Add to these drawbacks the facts that
times are hard, that the season in New
Orleans thus far has been unusually
disagreesble, and that unfavorsble re.
ports as to the state of things have been
widely circulated, and it is easy to zee
why there have been few visitors.

A letter of the Confederate General

A letter of the Confederate General
Lee to Jefferson Davis, written in 1863,
has just been published. 1t calls atten-
ton to the growing opposition to the
war IN the north, and suggests that il
may be increased and made useful by
allowing northern people to Under.
stand that tho Union might be preserv.
ed by an early peace, as they would not
sustain the war if that idea became gen
eral. His advice was that southern
leaders should abstain from any decla-
rations which would lead the north to
believe that the south would insist, I'M.
der all circumstances, on an independ-
ent government.

Michigan abolished the death pena'..
ty some years ago and the result has
been an increase in the number of MUIR
ders far beyond what might naturally
Ike expected from the growth Of popula-
ton. 1t is asserted that in no other
civilized community Of equal population
on the face of the earth are there SO
many homicides annually as in Michi-
gan. This may not demonstrate, but
1t certainly indicates, that restoration
of the gallows would he good thing;
and there seems to be prevailing opin-
ion among the Wolverines in favor Of
restoring it. A bill has been introduc.
ed into the Legislature for that pur.
pose.

In few weeks the administration OF

In a few weeks the administration OF
the government will be in the hands Of
a party that has been out Of power for
twenty-four years. No violent changes
are anticipated. The new administra-
ton must execute the laws. as they find
them. For the present, at least, con-
gress is divided, the senate having re-
publican and the house OF represen-
tatives, democratic majority, and this
situation is not likely to be changed for
several years. The greatest anxiety in
political circles concerns the personnel Of
the new administration and the use of the
appointing power generally. This mat
ter will afford ample material for polit-
ical gossip during summer.

The Spectcr Of u Special Session.

wAsHISGToN, Special Telegram, Feb. g.
1t is by no means settled yet that there will
not be special session of congress. although
there can be no doubt that the Democratic
leaders regard with dsfavOr the idea of hav-
ing one The simple truth is, that Mr.. Ran
dali and some of his Democratic associates
are more concerned about the formation Of
Mr. Cleveland's cabinet than they are about
perfecting the appropriation bills and getting
through the Legislation required to avert an
extra session. Some of the largest and most
important appropriation bills are yet to be
considered BY the house, and it il becoming
evident that the senate will have to accept
some of the measures involving many mil
lions of dollars without having an Opportu-
nifty to properly consider and discuss them
ii they are to become laws this session. But
twenty two legislative days remain. and IT
will require constant hard work to secure
the passage of all the appropriation bills
within that time

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, Feb. 6-The coroner
returned this evening from Radical City
after holding an inquest on the bodies Of
Mrs Canham. son and daughter, who were
murdered Tuesday night Some are inclined
to suspect the elder son, who maintains he
was at the time Of the murder seventy five
miles away. 1t is generally believed that he
will prove himself innocent The mother
was sleeping down stairs and was struck on
the head with . Ratchet, and her throat
cut with a butcher knife. The son, the
next victim, was asleep up stairs, and
was killed with = Ratchet. and never
moved after he was struck. The
daughter. aged about twenty five. sleep
ing in the next room from her
brother, was aroused and got up She made
desperate fight, receiving sixteen wounds
from a knife and q Ratchet, and at last
started down stairs and was killed at the
door The murderer then examined q
drawer in a bureau and left spots of blood on
the clothing The young lady's room is COW
cred with blood and shows evidence of q
great struggle. Excitement is high, and
should the young man fail to prove his
whereabouts since Monday he will be in
great danger of hanging. The county viii,
offer $500 reward and the state $500 more.
Appearances indicate that the murderer Sc
cured the hatchet ut the stable and the knife
in the kitchen and when through with the
work washed and wiped his hands before

SESArE-The interstate commerce (Cullom)
bill WAS considered and finally passed-iS TO IL.
Az passed by the senate the bill is slbstan-
TALLY - prepared by Senator Cullom, and
socs lack 20 the hcrse an amendment
TO the Reagan bill Tho chances of An
agreement between the two houses are not
by any means encouraging. The Reagan
bill was passed by more than two thirds vote,
but many members voted for il because they
preferred to take that to getting nothing. Tho
principal point Of difference between the two
measures II that the senate bill provides for
r;ne commissioners, to whom is gwen full
power to regulate all matters provided for,
while the Reagan bill refers all contro-
verted points 10 the courts, and inn
poses heavy penalties for the violation Of its
provisions. Whether ma jOrity Of the house
will insist upon this feature OF the eagan bill
il an uoen question: but there are reasons To
justify the belief that this feature will be in
sisted upon The prospects, therefore, for On
agreement IN conference sre far more encour-
aging.
