How slight an influence will move spheri-

PoL1TIcs SHOULD have nothing to do with
the affairs of the State institutions. There
fore the men who were removed from posi-
tions in those institutions, simply because
the were democrats and that men might be
appointed to their places solely because they
were Mahoneites, should be reinstated as
soon as possible. The sooner the better.
So far as the colleges are concerned, it is re-
quisite and necessary that the changes be
made at once.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, June "details have
reached here OF a murder, in Shreveport,
Wsrrick county, near the line OF Spencer

The quarrel originated in the heat of a po

minutes. The murderer managed to escape.
1t is probable that if caught, he will be
