De lIores, Coming Trial.

Bismarck, OAK, Sept. IAN indigna-
tion meeting was called at Mandan to-
night, on account of the change of
venue to this county in the case of De
Mores and Paddock, indicted for the
murder of Luffskey, near Medora two
years ago. Both have been in jail since
yesterday. A motion to admit to bail
may to submitted tomorrow, but the
attorneys in the case hesitate to provoke
comparison with other cases IN which
bail has been refused, and fear Judge
Francis will refuse to grant bail, Much
depends on the second trial of
Magill. which will be called to.
morrow. Magiil killed black
smith employed ON bonanza
farm, Of which he was superintendent.
He claims self defense, and the only evi-
dence against him is theoretical, based
upon the position of the body, direction
of the wound, etc., there being no wit
nesses of the killing. Magill has lain in
Jail ever since arrested, although the
late legislature, at the instance of Ma
gilFs wife and attorneys, passed ON act
designed to compel Judge Francis to ad-
NIT him to bail. The Jurors list, as pub.
lished tonight, indicates q fair trial by
intelligent men. De Mores' friends are
confident Of his acquittal. The trial ol
Gilbert, the murderer OF Lepz, will be
taken mp near the close OF the criminal
calendar.

Loss OF the Hanoyerian

st. Johns, N. F.. Sept. 2-The Allan
Zine mail steamer Hsnoverian is total
loss, having goue ashore this morning at
Portugal cave. The steamer Nimrod
was dispatched this afternoon to the
rescue of the passengers and crew, who
are though to be safe:
The Hanoverain is an iron clad screw
schooner rigged vessel of 1858 tons built
at Glasgow in 1882. She left Baltimore
August oath under command of Capt.
Thomson, for Liverpool, by way of ST..
Johns. The British war ship Tenedot
is also going to the scene of the wrecks.
The gale of wind and dense fog pre-
vented the steamer Nimrod from going
to the scene of the wreck. The Han.
| overian left Halifax at noon on Monday
| with hfty-seven passengers and her nor
NAL crew. She experienced fine weather
until nearing st. Pierre island, when an
limpenetrable fog was encountered, and
by false steering, error of the compass
or neglect of soundings, the steamer
was driven at high speed in Portugal
cave, seven miles east of Trepassey,
where she now. lies, total wreck. She
passed over number of hidden rocks
| which ripped her bottom almost her
| whole length. The main hold is filled
with water, and it is not probable the
| cargo can be eaved. The passengers
are now en- route to Trepassey, where
| they can secure accommodations and
comfort until tie warship Tenedos
reaches them to convey them to st
Johns. Other steamers follow to ren.
| der assistance. The New York steamer
Of the Red Gross line, has been signalled
from Cape Race to proceed to the scene
of the disaster. Steam tugs have also
! been dispatched to the rescue. No loss
| of life has bees reported.

CARDS the goyernorship, Mr.. Teller thinks
that no change will be made for some
time. Gov. Pierce gives good satisfaction,
even to the democrats. Col. Pratt, of
Grand Forks, one of the leading demo-
Gratis OF the territory, was in Washington
short time ago, and. during his stay,
spoke very strongly in favor of Gov.
Pierce, and urged upon the president
the advisability of retaining him in Of
fee. Other members of the democra-
tic party IN the territory want change,
however, and are raising the cry of
home rule in order to secure preferment
for themselves. If President Cleveland
means what he says on the subject of
civil service reform be will let we'll
enough alone, Mr.. Teller says.
especially as there are dissensions
in biz own party. Mr.. Teller further
stated that the outlook for
the coming constitutional convention at
Sioux Falls is not particularly encour-
aging. The interest appears to have
subsided to considerable extent. At
Yankton reasonably large vote was
polled and good delegates selected.
John r. Gamble, while not delegate
himself, is satisfied with those selected.
Moody, of the Black Hills, another dele
gate. is partner of Washabaugh, the
author of the bill creating the conven-
ton, and is therefore supposed to be in
full accord with the movement.

One of the Fargo soldiers who is pre-
parlng to serve his country at the COM
ing encampment expresses hope,
through the Republican, that General
Denuis will permit the troops to swap
their rations for luxuries not down on
the army bill OF fare. He deems it a
hardship to be compelled to live on
beans when pies and vegetables are so
plentiful. Our acquaintance with the
general leads US to believe that the bean
order will be strictly enforced. Diet is
an important sanitary consideration in
camp life and after nearly five years OF
experience the general has reached the
conclusion that beans are q specific
against most of tho ailments to which
the soldier is heir.

presume, until we learn to the contrary,
that the government will not remove an

best marshal that Wyoming has had since
its organization as a territory; he has been
a first class executive officer, and saved
the government thousands Of dollars an
nually by his thoroughly honest and eco
nomical administration. II would be
cruelly unjust for the Republican admin

simply for the purpose of making a place

GLANCE NEEDED.

To a casual observer, who catches n
glimpse Of the affairs Of the world as they
pass before him, it seems that the court
martial system Of the army should be
dispensed with, and give way to modern
improvements. These courts are R misty
relic Of the feudal usages and OF semi
civilization. Their modes Of practice are
Of the s~tar-chamber order. They are
red taped affairs, controlled by the mar
tinet discipline Of the service and war
department. Il is only within a few years
that the accused was permitted to have
an attorney to conduct his defense, as the
defense in civil courts is conducted. By
its forms Of proceeding, theft and swind-
ling are designated, not by their right
names, or as crimes, but as conduct I'M
becoming an officer and a gentleman, or
as conduct prejudicial to good order and
military discipline. In many cases the
prosecutor is also the judge, and fre-
quently the prosecution is brought by au-
thority of the secretary Of war, acting for
the president, by whom the proceedings
must be finally reviewed, and ratified or
disapproNed.
There fAno reason for pe~rpetaating the
functions Of the red-taped tribunal. Army
officers and soldiers should be subject to
the same laws, the same discipline
and the same forms Of trial for crime as
those t which other people are subjected.
They are entitled to no extra privileges,
nor to greater %complacency from justice,
if they are guilty Of criminal conduct;
and they certainly ought not to be tried
and punished by mare rigorous rules than
apply to all other classes Of citizens.
If an army officer violates the law, he
should be tried and punished by the
courts, like other offenders. If he steals,
he should be tried for larceny; if he is a
swindlcr. he should be tried for fraud; if
he sells his pay account over and over
again, he should be tried for obtaining
money under false protenses. For the
trial and punishment Of mere o~ffenses
against discipline no court is necessary.
Military officers and soldiers are anne
nable TO their superior officers, who may be
safely intrusted with the duty Of presery-
ing order. For gross offenses against the
rules Of the service, army officers should
be subject to dismissal from office BY the
president, the same as officers under the
civil administration.
