Martin Sentenced for Life.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, March 7.-Advces
from Neillville are that Judge Newman has
sentenced Albert Martin to the state peniten-
tiary for life for the murder of August Leid-
erger Sept. Is. Martin pleaded guilty.
The convicted man had been criminally il
innate with the wife of the deceased, and
planned to kill him so that he could marry
Mrs. Leiderger and get the old gentlemans
property. On the day mentioned he induced
his victim to go into the woods with him and
after they had proceeded a short distance he
leveled a double-barreled shot gun at him
and shot him through the stomach.
He was not killed instantly by this shot and
begged that Martin would spare his life. He
then fired the other barrel through his brain.
Leaving the body in the woods he returned
and told Mrs Martin what he had done. She
seems to have Endorsed the crime, for the
two remained together for some time, Mrs
Leiderger keeping the act secret. She was
about to become mother, and went to Osh-
kosh to remain until after the child was born
AS soon as she is sufficiently recovered she
will be arrested, brought to Neillsville and
held as accessory to the crime.

Lit IS IN Bad Shape and the Prospects are
it Viii Fail to Pieces.
The Northwestern Traffic association is in
bad shape, and the pool is bound to go to
pieces unless steps are taken to bring about
more harmonious relation among the va
rious roads than at present exists. Arbitrator
Bogue awarded the percentages two or three
months ago. and although they were quite
satisfactory to all the roads, they have not
yet been put in effect, and no attempt
has been made to divide the bust
ness under the pooling agreement.
The principal trouble is in regard to the mill
ing in transit business. The Milwaukee s.
st. Paul takes the ground that wheat from
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota trans
fer shipped to Red Wing and other milling
points on its line, to be ground and shipped
to Chicago and Milwaukee, does not go into
the pool, but is to be considered local bust
ness, and will not report that business to the
pool. The matter has been dis
cussed at various meetings of the
association, but no understanding has been
reached. Arbitrator Bogue was asked some
time ago to give decision, and he gave it as
his opinion that if any live party to the
local point on its road and distributes the
product through its local territory it cannot
be considered competitive business and is
therefore not poolable; but where the wheat
is taken to local point and is ground into
flour, and then shipped to Chicago or Mil
waukee, on a through bill of lading,
it is without question poolable business and
must be reported to the commissioner.
Wheat at the Minneapolis, st. Paul and Mime
sofa transfer was competed for by the differ
ent lines in the association, and, under the
agreement, no road had the right to take the
business and carry it between two local
points and not report ii to the commissioner.
Still the Milwaukee s. st. Paul refused to
report such business to- the commissioners,
and for this reason the other roads also refuse.
At the last meeting of the association the
matter was referred to a special con nittee
consisting of Miller of the Milwaukee, Hugh
lit of the Northwestern and Potter of the
Burlington. They have not taken action in
the matter yet and the prospect is that they
will not be able to come to an understand
ing if they do meet. as the Milwaukee IL st.
Paul refuses to recede from its original posi-
ton. The trouble is getting quite serious
and the roads do not report all their business
and il is said in some cases they give cut
rates.

The great objection raised by the Repub
lean press to Mr.. MANNING's appointment
to the treasury department is that Mr.. MAN
MING is good political organizer. Well,
what of It. II man has good executive
ability Is that TO be counted against him as
cabinet uficerl Mr.. MANNING is a splendid
organizer and succeeds in whatever position
he has been placed. In fact his whole life is
a splendid success. Commencing low down
he has risen to eminenee upon his own
merit aud must he be displaced because he
had the merit to elevate himself. We fail to
see any force in such argument. Besides,
the treasury department is the very place
that needs executive and organizing ability
of a high order. There has been a good deal
of loose bookkeeping in the treasury and a
lax system generally. By the time Mr..
MANNING gets through over-hauling the
books of his department and exposing Re-
publican delinluencies in the management
of our national finances, the "organs" will
com plain more bitterly of him than they do
st present.

KEoktK, Ia, March 7.-Another heavy
gorge has been formed in the Des Moines
about two miles from the mouth to-day, and
caused rapid rise in the stream. A large
section of the levee gave away and a strong
current Of water rushed down the Alexandria
bottom lands. The Keokuk & st. Louis
line of railway track is covered with two
feet of water above Alexandria. and trains
are sent from Quincy to Burlington over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy track in Hi
nois. The iron bridge over Sugar creek on
the Rock Island is out of iue, and the
smaller bridges are damaged. Four miles of
track is under water. The gorge at Eddy
vile, Iowa, extends up the river for five
miles, and the ice is piled up fifteen feet
high. The railroad bridge at the
mouth of the Des Moines is still
in danger from the gorge. A party
Of men who went few miles up
the Des Moines river to rescue Mrs. Mary
Kennedy, who, was in house surrounded by
water and ice, have just returned. They
were successful. They say the Mississippi
bottom above Alexandria is sea of ice and
water. Fences and stock at least must have
suffered great loss. The water comes up to
the tops Of cornstalks standing in thesfelds.

France is firing the socialists with reck-
less disregard of the flag they have claimed.
One Russian, two Italians and sixteen Ger
mans got their passports yesterday and they
didn't feel impelled to await transportation.
These will probably seek asylum here and
abuse free speech in open defiance Of public
sentiment. Our laws should be made to
reach these people when they come, and at
least bride their tongues. In the course of
time their false and pernicious teachings
will disturb the dream of the best govern
ment on earth. Workers and not loud
mouthed takers and sewers of the seeds of
sedition and discord are what we want in
this country. These socialists and dynami-
tiers are destroyers and not builders. They
should be made to feel that they are not only
not welcome in this country, but that their
teachings will no. be tolerated While Amer
lea is an asylum for the oppressed of all
lands, it is not breeding ground for the
destroyer of the governmental, the social or
the business fabric. Fomenters of strife and
inspirers of discomfort among the masses
are as dangerous as dynamite and should be
stamped out by the strong arm of the law.

We observe that several state legislatures
during their sessions of the present winter
nave been lighting pernicious literature. The
pennsylvania bill makes it q msdemeaaor to
give, lend or sell to minor child any
printed publication, whether book or newspa-
per, devoted to or principally made up of
criminal news or containing pictures of
deeds OF bloodshed or crime; or to expose for
sale where they may be seen by any minor
or for advertisement such publications. Such
proposition has good motive and will be
approved BY everyone who desires to see the
evil effect OF peruicious literature mitigated.
1t is believed that the publication and sale of
the book containing the lives and exploits of
the JAMES brothers has been more prolific
cause of making young robbers and burglars
than any or all other agencies extant There
is fascination about stories of the daring
JAMES or YOUNGER bows or of the dashing
DICK TURPIN which is very attractive to
youthful minds, and it is very easy thing for
boy with the least dash of romance in his
nature to invest the cut-throat robbers with a
halo OF heroism and be tempted to initiate
their example. AS a matter of course all
to be way to prevent it from falling into
the hands of the boys. And yet there is one
great defect in any sort of legislation to put
stop to it, and that is the cutlery that would be
raised on behalf of the liberties of the press.
Praiseworthy as is the purpose of such legis-
lation it should not be forgotten that the pc
culiar nature of our institutions operates TO
make il subordi ate at all times IN the force
OF public opinion. This is a country in
which it is always worth while to ask whether
any proposed or needed reform cannot be ac-
complished without legislation. Sometimes
legislation cannot, but more frequently it
can be dispensed with, because public opin-
ion, with the various resources of individual
and organized effort, can accomplish the pur-
pose of legislation better than legislation it.
self, and where it is simply doubtful whether
the desired result can be attained by other
expressions OF the popular will, legislation
should still be looked upon as last resort.
In the face of these facts it must be admit
ted that individual effort is the most appro-
pirate method of warfare against pernicious
literature, and parents are the proper indi-
viduals to keep it out of the hands of chill
dren. 1t is bad plan to call upon the state
to do what it Is the duty Of the individual cit
iZen to do. 1t may be all right for the legis-
lature to make it penal offense to furnish
such literature to the inmates of public in
situations or of orphan asylums, but it is best
to leave to parents the duty OF protecting
their own children.

The indications now are that a general re-
duction in east-bound freight rates from
this city to 20-cent basis will be ordered to
take effect within day or two. The efforts
made by the general freight agents of the
Pennsylvania, Michigan Central and other
roads running east from this city to bring
about an agreement to reduce rates to 90
cent basis, having failed on account of the
Lake Shore to accede to a reduction in rates,
the former have appealed to Commission er
Fink and requested him to order such reduc
ton, as it is impossible to secure new bust
ness at the present tariff rates (25-cent basis)
because the roads from all other points west
and southwest from Chicago are making a
20-cent rate or less. 1t is understood that
Commissioner Fink has submitted the ques-
ton to the general managers OF the trunk
lines and is quite certain that most OF them
will vote in favor of the proposition.
