In the Iowa oity of Sioux City the law
as it Is traced upon the statute book, is
not enforced aud has never beer
enforced. Sioux City is now brought face
to face with u tragedy containing the
cory accompanlments of gaping wounds,
the life current ebbed away. a marble
face lying prone before the startled gaze
of the beholders, q heart stllled in death.
A murder has been committed and its
victim was servant of God whose life
was consecrated to saving work wherein
both the body bnd the soul of man were
involved. This was his offence. For this
he has fallen in his tracks and the pity
ing earth will hide his mangled form
from those whose passions make posi-
BILE such deeds of violence This is but
one murder OF many within the city
whose record is rcd with bleed and Black
with moral corruption. Crime has been
rampant within its limits these many
years and it has fairly earned the un-
enviable reputation OF the toughest city
in all the west. Having attained this
apex OF unlovely fame, there is nothing
which should startle society in the last
act of blood. There is q sacred tradition
that those who SOW the wind shall reap
the whirlwind. There is sackcloth
and ashes along with Its
fulfillment, but these come always. 1t
is not now merely because another
goes upon its record that Sioux
City stands aghast. 1t is because of the
character of the tragedy and the sancti-
fed vocation of its victim. The common
herd is shot and stabbed and buried and
there is no ripple upon the face of
Sioux Clty's complscency. But this
latest revelation of the domination Of
the thug element is producing moral
convUlsion which will end in the purifi-
cation Of the community. That that
community needs such publication is
evidenced by the murderous deed itself,
following closely IN the footsteps of
other murderous deeds.
Long the refuge of the habitues of
haunts of vice, Sioux City has gathered
within its borders class not particu-
iarly desirable in any community, and
from this element came the assassin who
sent the bullet into the vitals of MIR.
Haddock. Had he not been encouraged
to there abide he would not have been
conveniently near to fill the place of ex-
ecutioner in behalf of class who openly
violate law and constitution and social
regulations. That Sioux City will now
purge itself is evidenced in the awaken
ing which he's opened eyes long closed
in passive recognition of thriving evil
which cast the wages of sin into The cof-
fers of the reputable classes. 1t has
taken tragedy to bring about this
awakening, but it will be dem onstrated
in the result that Mr.. Haddock has not
died in vain.

Edward A. Bowers, of Groton, OAK,
has been appointed general inspector
of land offices. The position is a new
one, two of them having been created by
a recent oct of congress. Mr.. Bowers was
an applicant for the Aberdeen receiver
ship and to dull the edge of disappoint.
ment over his failure there this sop is
castin his direction. 1t is accompanied
by two Thousand dollars year. There
are fifteen other disappointed ones
whose poles failed to reach the Aberdeen
persimmon and among them is the sad
eyed Boynton, of Lennox, who has thus
far been uuprovlded with a niche IN the
gallery OF official fame.

There Is an intimation that the atti-
tude of the United States government
relative to recent Mexican outrages may
necessltate an extra session of congress.
The United States has made demand
and the legitimate result thereof is o
compliance upon the part of the Mexican
government, or war. By instruction of
the house of representatives this de-
mand will be renewed, and then there is
liability that something sanguinary
may happen. Mexico arrested
an American citizen by
by the name of Cutting, resident of
Texas, where he edits newspaper. In
his paper he published something
which, under the Mexican law, was libel
GUS. 1t happened shortly afterwards
that Cutting crossed over to the Mexi-
can side, when he was arrested for libel
and placed in prison. The United
States demands his release on the
ground that citizen of the United
States cannot violate foreign law while
hc is on United States soil. The other
case under consideration is that of
Rasures, murdered by Mexican officials,
under color of authority, after being kid
mapped on the United States side of the
line and conveyed into Mexico. 1t ap-
pears to be case wherein Mexico must
give in or fight. Secretary Bayard is ar
ranging the preliminaries and an
apology or o duel is looked for with
growing interest. This would be an ap-
propriate time to wipe out the Mexican
boundary line.

licly that he voted at fifteen elections.
Nearly all the wealthy men have at least
two votes and d considerable number

made up of those plural votes. A ma

Nothing would more conduce to the
welfare of this community than the pun
ishmcnt of at least one, among several
who are said 20 be open to the charge of
casting a vote at the recent election for Il
consideration. While there were fewer
instances than heretofore, it is believed
that ignorance and the force of habit
led some to expect brides and Il few, to ac-
cept them when offered. An example is
needed not SO much to punish the indi-
vidual as to establish the fact that who
ever ventures, in any future election,
either to sell or to buy a vote is amenable
to n law. which is not to be suffered to re-
main a dead letter ON the statute book.
but is to be strictly enforced. The first
conviction, unless in case of an otIcnsc
both knowingly and w%ilfully committed,
might work hardship. but the need of an
example. which shall also be a warning.
Is so great ms to warrant prosecution in
any case susceptible Of clear proof. Let
it once be generally understood that it is
the determination of the best citizens of
both parties hat the purity of the ballo,
is rigidly to be maintained, and the voice
of the people will hereafter he given full
force and effect.

hllc good times are reported to have
commenced in the Fast, the boom has not
yet reached this territory and an unusual
depression continues to be felt. Whether
as the effect of local or general causes, it
matters not, the disagreeable fact re
mains. Ahead of us, however, is a hope
tul prospect, as the wave of returning
prosperity will not spend all its force be-
fore making at least a ripple here. In
addition there is hope of an increase of
local advantages and therefore of local
prosperity from railway construction.
Not only will the Cheyenne a Northern
be at such a stage of progress as to con-
tribute its aid, but it is more than prob
able Il projected line of the Burlington Il
Missouri company will soon have headed
in this direction, That company is al
ready building through the northwest cor
ner of Weld county, Colo, in extension
of a line completed to Holdrege, Neb.,
and now has a supply camp within thirty
five miles of Cheyenne. As another line
has already been projected in the dircc-
ton of Douglas or l.usk. from Red Cloud,
Neb., and a road has been constructed up
the South Platte to Denver, if the new
branch isn't coming toward Cheyenne il
is difficult TO guess its real objective
point.
