CONGRESSIONAL MUGwUMPERY.

CONGRESSIONAL MUGWUMPERY.
The state of Kentucky is in the dumps.
The cause of it is because the president has
appointed a Republican postmaster at
Louisville. 1t is hard enough for a Ken
tuckian to bear the appointment of a
Republican to Office within the borders of
the state under a Republican administration.
but when it is done by Democratic ad-
ministratiOn it breaks Kentucky all I'D.
And to make the matter worse the offensive
partisan who has been retained in one of the
latest federal offices in the state is a woman.
The lady in question is Mrs. Virginia
THOMPSON, the daughter of the late Bishon
CAMPBELL, the founder of the Campbellite
Baptist church. Mrs. THOMPSON was first
appointed to the Office she now holds by
President HAYES, and her appointment at
that time came very near wrecking the Re
publican party in the state. 1t would have
done it if there had been any Republican
party in Kentucky worth wrecking. Mrs.
THOMPSON is the widow of a Confederate
cavalry officer. Her husband died soon
after the war and left her in
destitute condition. Mrs. HAYES
was good friend to Mrs. THOMPSON
and when she came into power she di-
rected her good man RUTHERFORD to give
the Kentucky widow an office that would
place her above want. Thus it was that
when the veteran Republican leaders in
Kentucky saw the best Office in the state
slip away from them and go to the relic of
a Confederate brigadier they mutinied
Rnt If didn't
long as Mrs. HAYES held the reins
OF government in one hand and her
husbands nose between the fingers of the
other When Gen. GARFIELD enc
ceeded Mrs. HAYES in Office Mrs
THOMPSON knew that her Tenure
in office was secure because GARFIELD was
a local preacher in the church her father
established. Thus for eight years has the
Widow THOMPSON held on to the Iou,s-
vile postoffice.
But when the political revolution of 1884
occurred and a new party came into mower
Mrs. THOMPSON commenced TO maize
preparations to turn the postoffice over IN

suspicion that Democratic administration
would, for single hour. fol-
crate in Office an official who
had held Office under two successive
Republican administrations, and gave them
selves no special concern about Mrs.

leaked out that influences were at work 70

Senator JOE BLACKBURN was loaded
down with pile of protests and sent to the
White house to deliver them. The senator
accomplished his mission in, what he SUD-
posed, the most satisfactory manner. II

known reason Congressman WILLIS.

has been won over to the side
of Mrs. THOMPSON and succeeded in
persuading the president that it was the
proper thing to do to retain the lady in

NOTHING IN A NAME.

The Omaha Herald says that cyclone Is
the wrong name for the tornado that causes
such terrible destruction of life and prop
erty in the United States. There is nothing
in the name of the destructive thing. what
ever it may be called. 1t would probably
blow as hard by any other name. 1t doesn't
matter a particle whether it is called a
cyclone, a tornado, simeon or a whirl-
wind. What we want to know is to tell
when there is to be visitation of the terri
BILE agent of destruction. If science can
discern the face of the sky and tell when
changes of the weather will occur, it ought
to work out some system by which the APP
pearance of a cyclone can be determined in
advance. A cyclone signal bureau is what
is needed.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Maj. Mckinley

Morrison tariff measure. In the majors

Back at Work.

SOUTH CHICAGO, April 19.-Freighi
trains in the Baltimore & Ohio yards here
were moving up and down with unexam
pied swiftnesS this morning. and the way
the men threw switches and coupled carl
was a surprise even to themselves. All the
strikers went back to work at z O'Clock. and
non-union men were nowhere to be seen.
They will probably be sent out on the road.
At present the union men regard them with
the greatest favor on account of their mag
namity in throwing up their jobs yesterday
to appease the demands of the organized
switchmen, and will make no attempts ia
annoy them. The weakening of the non.
union men was caused in great measure
by persuasive powers of the committee, and
the way reinforcements were received by
strikers.

sT. PAUL As A BEEF MARKET.

=
AS will be seen from the GLOBES special
from Miles City this morning the cattlemen
of Montana now in convention in that city
are lending listening ear to st. Paurs
proposition to establish a cattle market at
this point and to slaughter the 100,
beeves which pass through this city to other
markets. So favorably has this proposition
been received by the Montana cattlemen
that they will take steps TO investigate the
matter and are disposed to give it encour-
agement. There is no question but that the
committee of gentlemen representing st.
Pauls interests now in attendance on the
convention, will present the matter with
such force as to enlist the hearty co-opera-
ton of the cattle owners of the West,
and it seems to be a well nigh settled fact
tflat very important industry is to be
added to st. Paul's many extensive business
departments. While this is a matter of
considerable Importance. it is of equal i'm
portance to the cattle men themselves. The
saving in freight which will be secured by
this arrangement will be just so much clear
profit in the pockets of the Montana cattle
owners.

A KANSAS KILLING.
Three brothers shot TO Pieces by
a Mob.

Mob.
ANTHONY, Kan, April 19.-This morn
ing the city Of Anthony was the scene Of a
most tragic affair. About two months ago
a hght occurred in the village OF Danville,
near this place, between three brothers
named Weaver and a man named Adel
Shearer. The latter was fatally wounded,
and the Weaver boys were arrested and
hurried away 10 avoid mob violence. Last
week they were returned for trial, but
their cases were continued for the term,
with bail fixed at $4,000 each. AT
o'clock this morning a mob OF forty or
more armed men surrounded the residence
OF the sheriff, whose prisoners were under
guard. The guard hearing them, rushed
the prisoners out of the back door and
into the basement of the new school build
ing. The sheriff was taken prisoner by the
mob and guarded. The deputies finding it
useless to resist, surrendered. The Weaver
brothers defended themselves in their
struggle Tor life with revolver which they
had taken from one of the deputies. They
were finally overpOwered by the mob and
disarmed. Ropes were placed about their
necks and preparations were made TO hang
them to the rafters. but the trample of APP
preaching feet frightened the mob, so they
fired fifteen OF twenty shots into each man,
literally shooting them to pieces. and,
mounting their horses. rode rapidly away.
The mother of the boys and the wife of
one OF them witnessed the entire tragedy.

Gen. ShaIer,, Trial.

NEW YORK, April 19.-The prosecution
in the trial of Gen. Alex Shaler. for bribery
in connection with the choice of armory
sites, concluded Its evidence to-day, the
witnesses testifying that Monmouth b.
Wilson, the self-confessed bribe giver, had
taken up two mortgages on the generals
property, paying 50. 900. The judge denied
a motion by the defense to dismiss the case
as not proved, counsel saying that Wilson's
uncorrOborated evidence, he being particeps
criminis, could not be accepted as conclus-
i've. Ex-Mayor Edison, member of the
armory board with Gen. Shaler for the de-
Tense, testified that Shaler did not urge the
purchase or sites offered by Wilson and
that the particular site mentioned in evil
dence was bought cheap at the price paid.

TURKo-GRECIAN EMBRoGLfo.

i OhhO-0hEClAN EMBKOGL1Os
Greece and Turkey have been making
faces at each other for so long without
coming to blows that the announcement Of
war preparations on either side no longer
has startling effect. Notwithstanding
public interest in Turco-Grecian affairs has
subsidized, it is altogether probable that there
will be little brush between the two coun-
tries in the near future. Greece has some
of the old-time pluck still left, and if there
is the least show for a spat with
the insolent Turk it will be had.
The Turk is now disposed to
give the Greek a chance to knock the
chip from his oriental shoulder, ana the
challenge will be accepted whenever 1t is
given. There is something needed to re-
lieve the fearful monotony of Eastern
affairs and there are no two countries in
that region of the globe better suited for
affording little diversion at this time than
Greece and Turkey. If they should sue
coed in wiping out each other neither would
be missed.
