THE NEVADA COLONIZATION
SCHEME.

Judging from the number of comments
on the part of the press OF the Pacific
Coast and a bill just prepared by Repre-
sentative Woodburn that he means to
introduce in Congress at an early day,
there is something after all in the report
published in the SENTINEL a couple or
three days ago that the Mormons OF
Utah contemplate the colonizing of Ne
vada in such numbers as to give them
the control of the State government, and
to secure for their service in Congress the
two Senators and one Representative to
which the State is entitled. There is no
doubt but that the leaders of the Nor
mon religion are at present in a ~quandary
as to what course they should pursue,
now that justice is close onto their heels,
and what disposition they should make
of members of their faith in order to per-
petuaee the strength of their church.
Were there to be a general election
throughout the State tomorrow there Is
no doubt but that a perceptible increase
would be noticeable in the Mormon vote
over that ever cast in Nevada. Those OF
them who were here at late elections,
practically speaking, still remain, and
since then-that is to say. within the
past Is months-their numbers have in
creased %perceptibly in White Pine and
Lincoln counties. Every new camp that
springs up in those sections is invaded
at once by these people. Taylor, for in.
stance, is a good illustration. A large
percentage of the business men and
miners there are members of the faith,
and last Summer when the flag OF the
Union was insulted in Utah it was feared
by certain leading and conservative resi-.
dents Of White Pines new camp that it
would witness a conflict between the
two sects before the matter was set at
rest. Bullionville, in Lincoln county,
that was resurrected recently and is now
a bustling settlement of probably $50
people, is to-day, we understand, what
might be termed a Mormon camp.
In a way the scheme of colonizing the
State from Utah appears to us quite
feasible. If the chiefs can see wherein
they will be successful in accomplishing
their designs by SO doing all they have to
do is to send forth the mandate among
their people. The chief ambition of the
average Mormon is to witness the build
ing up of his faith and Church. He
is willing to sacrifice his time and
labor and coin to that end. But
there is one thing certain: II the Nor.
mons carry into effect any such pro-
gramme they are simply ~aggravating the
wrath that is sure to follow. There can
and will be measures adopted to meet
the necessities of the case. Polygamy
and modern civilization cannot live side
by side. We agree with the San Fran
cisco Bulletin that "there can be but
two oolutions of the Mormon question in
the United Observation-Disclosures of
polygamy or emigration. Anything
short Of that is merely a postponement
of the inevitable"

South and West.

PAT FORD and John Murphy were hanged
at New Orleans on the 18th for the murder Of
A. H. Murphy on December l, 1884. The
men were carried to the gallows insensible
from poison they had taken, aud they were
hanged while apparently dying. Both muir
derers and their victim were prominent New
Orleans politicians at emnity with each other.
Strenuous and repeated efforts were made to
obtain communication of the sentence, and at
the last moment, to avoid the disgrace of per-
ishing on the scaffold, both men took poison.
A TRAIN left the track near Marshall,
Mich, and one passenger coach was capsized
into ditch. The thirty passengers inside
were all hurt, some mortally.
ROBBERS entered the express car of train
between Joliet and Morris, ILL.,, muir
dered Express Messenger Nichols after
desperate struggle, robbed the safe of s21,-
500 in money and at least 5000 worth Of
jewelry, and then escaped. Heavy rewards
for the capture of the thieves were offered,
and the brutal murder caused great excite
ment in the West.

A correspondent writes from Whitley
Court House, Ky, to the New York World
as follows: "There are only 1000 people
men, women and children-in all of
this county, yet the murders and assas-
sinations during the year outnumber the
births two to one. To anybody who has
ever lived for time in this section OF the
country, or who has ever travelled through
Harlan, Bell, Knott or Fletcher counties,
the statement is too common to excite
comment. But no one ever travels
through these mountains-for there are
not any railways to travel by--and no
newspaper correspondent ever writes
from Harlan county, so the murders, and
feuds, and assassinatio1s and brawls are
not made public. There are courts here,
Of course, and judges and juries, as there
are in civilized communities, but where
every juryman is related to the murderer
on trial, and where the judge has his own
life to take care of in q lawless commu-
nifty, the idea of convicting a prisoner
never occurs to those in court"

It is the belief of the Boston CuNivator
that 'the most popular measure that
Congress is likely to pass upon this ses-
sion is in the question of prohibiting
alien land ownership. 1t has been found
that some of our most valuable proper
ties in the West have been lodged in the
ownership Of foreigners, and that great
many estates in our large cities are thus
controlled. The sentiment of the people,
voiced in both political platforms in the
last presidential canvass, is against such
holdings, and there is now considerable
headway to an influence to declare prop
erty under alien ownership belonging to
such American residents abroad as do not
once in two years spend twelvemonth
on their native heath. 1t is said that
there are over $4,000 American families
living abroad supported wholly by in
comes from estates owned in America,
who have not been in this country3 for
over ten years. They are said to include
some $4,000 persons, and are at no per-
sonal inconvenience for the duties of
citizenship that follow the citizen who
responds to the jury, the military, politi-
cal, religious and social demands"

The Oatmeal King.

Eyes, I know Schumacher, the oat-
meal king who has lost his big mills by
fire." said the Ohio passenger, land an
odder little man you never saw. He's a
German, of course, about sixty years old,
about as big as grasshopper and just
as lively, talks dutchy and writes the
most vigorous English, hates whisky
and beer as he does liar and works
sixteen hours day. He came to this
country as poor as church mouse, started
little grocery and beer saloon, run that
awhile and then began making oat meal
by hand-mill in his wood-shed. Finally
he sold his saloon,s peddled oat meal and
farina from a hand-cart, which he wheeled
about town himself, and in thirty years
built up the largest factory of that kind
in the world. He won't hire q man in
any capacity who drinks whisky or even
beer, and has about him several hundred
employees, who are mostly Germans,
and, strange to say, jealous prohibition
lists like himself. He once brought over
from Germany a workman who was
master of new process. This man came
under two-years' contract at a large
salary, his expenses being guaranteed.
The second day after he began work
Schumacher learned that he was beer
drinker. In two hours the workman
left the mills, never to return, and with
a check for nearly $4,000 in his pocket.
This was the price Schumacher had
paid for upholding his principles and
enforcing his rules to the very letter.

An Ex-Minister Kills Man and
Boy, and Wounds Others. III
Information has been received at Parkers-
burg, W. Va, of the killing of man and boy
and the wounding Of others at Spaulding, q
small village in the remote interior.
1t appears that Mr.. Preston Benz
nett, well known citizen, was
attending an exhibition at the village,
and while the show was in progress J. M. 9
Pickelsheimer, an ex-Baptist minister, who
had fallen from grace through inordinate
love of whisky, came up and engaged in: q
controversy with the proprietor. He was in-s
sulting and abusive and was refused admit
tance, and eventually was ordered of the
grounds. He went away muttering VEN
geance, and in short time returned with
double-barreled shotgun, and when he got
within few feet of Bennett he suddenly
drew his gun and fired. Bennett fell dead ia
the arms Of Professor Gordon, who stood
near him. .,..,s z !, -. - :.
The assassin then emptied the other barrel
into the crowd, killing little boy named
Hamilton and severely wounding VIII
liam Baner and q young woman. Before the
people recovered from the horror of the
tragedy Pickelsheimer escaped, but soon after
g. few determined men started In pursuit.
He was tracked in the direction Of Tug Fork,
and after long chase was overtaken and
surrounded In the widest part of that region.
Several officers were with the posse which
captured the murderer, to which fact he
certainly owed his life, as the people were
bent on lynching him. -

The editor of Turf, Field and Farm,
in the course of an editorial on the horse,
pays this eloquent tribute to mans equine
friend: "The horse plays an important
part in the industrial projects of the
world. Draw chair close to one of our
sanctum windows and look out upon the
streets which surround the postofice
block. The surface cars roll up and
down with scarcely break, and the
mind grows weary in the attempt to
count them. Each car is drawn by two
horses, and the ceaseless tread tells upon
feet, sinews and wind. Express wagons,
drays, carts and other vehicles moved by
horses choke the thoroughfares, and even
shallow thinkers are impressed by the
fact that the one-toed quadruped has
become a necessity to commerce. W0
leave the city and take run across
the country. The line is immaterial.
We may continue the journey day after
day and night after night, and not get
outside of the domain in which the horse
is power, is essential to the civilization
of man. He draws the plow and the
reaper, and carries the bag to the mill,
The fuel which keeps bright and warm
the winter hearthstone, the bread with
which fast is broken, and the garments
with which nakedness is covered, are
brought to each village and farmhouse
door by the horse. The doctor, the post
man, the small tradesman and the tax
gatherer also recognize our four-footed
friend as an important agent in keeping
up communication with isolated homes
and scattered communities. The wheels
of agriculture and commerce would
move painfully slow were it not for the
horse. Wherever we go we see that there
is great practical want to be met, and
we are compelled to laud the efforts Of
those who try to fill this want"
