A Daring

PITTsBURG, Oct. S.-Great excitement
was caused in Allegheny City about noon
to-day by a daring robbery and the subse-
quent chase and capture of two of the
thieves. The victim was Gen. j. W.
Beazell, of Chicago, an instructor in the
detection Of counterfeit money. The
robbery occurred in the lobby OF the post
Office. Gen. Beazell had a wallet con
tanning $500, which he placed on the
counter beside him while converting with
postmaster Swan. The thief, who had
evidently been watching his opportunity,
quickly picked up the wallet and was
making off when Beazell seized him. A
struggle ensued and the thief drew his
revolver and fired at his captor, who re-
leased his hold, allowing him to escape.
A large crowd gave chase and the culprit,
who had been Joined by Two accomplices,
turned on their pursuers and began firing
their revolvers. The fire was returned
and for short time their was a perfect
fusilade Of shots. Finally two of the
thieves were cornered and after a des.
perate struggle we're captured. The man
with the wallet, however, got away, and
is still at large. No one was shot, but
several persons narrowly escaped.

Important Land Decision

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-An important
land office decision has been made by
commissioner Sparks, involving title to
certain valuable lands in the vicinity OF
New Orleans, covered in part by the
town of Carrollton and upon other parts
by buildings and improvements of great
value, including the race course, Metairie
Ridge cemetery and the shell road and
railroad from New Orleans to Lake
Ponchartraln. This property has been
claimed and possessed since the middle of
the last century under a French grant.
which has been surveyed and segregated
from the public domain. Adverse claim
ants asserted title by virtue of certain
swamp and other selections under a grant
to the state of Louisiana. Commissioner
Sparks holds that the French grant is a
complete TILE, protected by the treaty of
1903. and not needing legislative or other
confirmation by the United States, and
that the lands being private property at
the date Of the state grants. did not pass
under those grants. The amount involv-
ed in this decision reaches several million
dollars

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-With regard

port Of Governor Warren, that the i'm
migration and settlement of the public
lands in that territory are being sensibly
checked by the severe requirements exac-
ted from settlers by new rules and res ula.
tons of the general land office, Secretary
Lamar said to day that the records of the
department show that for the fiscal year
1886, land entries in the territory mum
bered 3.5l2, as against 2.923 in 1884, an
increase OF 5S9 in two years. the year 1885
showing a corresponding increase over
1884. The secretary added that there had
been a diminution in desert land entries.
which could be advantageously entered
only in large tracts requiring considerable
capital; but in the number of entries
made by individuals, the records show a
large increase.

LONDON, Oct. s The Chronicles cor
respondent at Paris says he has Just
heard from Vienna the details of a start
ling Anarchist plot to destroy Vienna and
to assassinate the Emperor Francis
Joseph. The conspirators. whose plans
were frustrated BY the authorities, had
intended to carry out the plot on Oct. a.
Various timber stores were to be set on
fire throughout the city and during the
confusion, the public buildings were to
be blown up with dynamite. The police
have seized immense quantities of bombs
and other explosives in different parts OF
the city, esp cially near the imperial resi-
dence at ~Schonburnn, and beneath the
bridge leading to the palace, which the
emperor crosses daily. 1t was intended
to make an attempt upon the life of the
emperor at the same time. A large number
OF foreigners and Austrians were arrest
ed. The ringleaders escaped to Berlin.
ln consequence of the stringent anti
socialist law, the news of the discovery
of the plot did not leak out for several

With anarchy inaugurated, manufac-
lures paralyzed and capital withdrawn
from ordinary investment, they have
everything to lose. Loss of employ
ment at renumerative wages means
starvation to them. 1t becomes tie
duty Of all good citizens TO make a
stand against the bomb throwers,

er5 and all who are led into Iawless-
ness, as they would against a common
enemy. The element in Tacoma that
drove the Chinese from there last
November has just elected an entire
city government. The same element
in Seattle tried to drive all Chinese
from there, and did rob China houses,
and ever since openly denounces mill
tiamen there as murderers for doing
their duty in maintaining law. 1t is
now claimed that this same element
will carry the coming Seattle elec
ton. Pretty soon we shall have rab
id anarchism trying to force its way
into Territorial politics Now is the
time to put it down. The laboring
masses should have all the assistance
possible from all good people to red
res5 any real grievances; but blatant
professional agitators should have q

should be made as stringest as posi-.
bic to prevent one laborer from ter

he may not want to do. No man OF

The Democratic Quarrel.

Alex. Montgomery, of Seattle, Is
out with another open letter on the
statehood question, in which, after
defending his position warmly, he
says, referring to democrats in the
Territory:
L have not heard of man, al though
some differ with me on the score of
policy" but that agrees with me
that the contents of my letter were
strictly true. But now to my as
tonishment, comes Mr. G. s. Voor-
hees, through your paper of the 9TH
instant. denouncing my letter and
myself in very ungentlemanly and
Indignant terms, assuming that it
was aimed directly at him and re
tiected unfavorably on his actions,
etc. Why, in writing my letter, l
hardly thought of tho boy Voorhees,,
sitting as non voting Delegate in
the house Of representatives, but of
the Hon. d. ". Voorhees, of the
United States senate, Il gentleman of
influence, one known far and wide,
and favorably, as always true to de-
mocratic principles. 1t was not to
the ''son of his father" but to the
father himself that l was writing and
as my letter did not breathe a word
against Voorhees,, Jr., the latter's out
burst of feeling renders HIM q fitting
subject on whom to apply the adage
that "a guilty conscience needs no
accuser." The young gentlemen says
something about refuting the great
mass of misrepresentation and vitu-
peration" to which he has been sub
jected. What has that to do with my
letter? 1t contained no attack upon
him. He says l assumed to speak
for the democratic party. That's
pure fiction; l did nothing OF the
kind. He speaks of my letter as an
amazing production" and classes
my writing it as ''stupendous hardi-
hood" Why, the fellow must be
Eight in the upper story" and l can
not but regret that he should thus
ignorantly write himself down as an
Ass" of the first water Has he not
yet learned that any American citi
zen is the peer of any other Ameri
can cltiZen, poilucalIy!
hIr. Montgomery evidently forgets
that he signed his first letter officially
as the King county member of the
democratic territorial committee.
However, it is interesting to note the
division of sentiment in democratic
ranks on the statehood question.

Oregonian: If JEFF. Davis would
only stop to reflect he could see that
his apotheosis of the struggle of the
South to destroy the Union, in order
to preserve a slave civilization, is alb
surd in the light of the fact that the
death of the Confedcracy was the
llfe OF the South. The war for the
Union cut the milestone of slavery
froTa the neck of the South. and her
tremendous progress since emancipa-
ton, has been in defiance and repu-
dlation of the dognas of secession
aud state s'F~-emacy, standing on the
black pedestal of slavery, for which
Davis organized his conspiracy and
waged wicked war. Davis gets a
kind OF sentimental hero worship
from the South. when he stirs their
martial pride in the valor of their
sons who shed their blood for his
barbarian political philosophy, that
solemnly made human bondage the
corner stone of his short lived state,
but Davis today exercises no more
practical influence over the fate OF
South for the future, rs a political
guide and practical counsellor, than
was exercised by Saint Simon
Styli,es over the fate OF tie ciyiliza
of his time; he was worshiped by a
few, while he had the contempt or
the compassion of the many.

Lincoln's Speech at Gettysburg.

Contrast JEFF. Davis rebel senti-

ton of the monument to the soldiers
killed at the bloody battle of Gettys-
burg:
1T is altogether fitting and proper
that we should be here. But, in a
large sense, we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot haliow
this ground. The brave men, living
or dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it far beyond our power
to add or detract. The world will
little note, nor long remember what
We say here. but 1t can never forget
what they did here 1t is for us, the
living, rather to be dedicated here to
the unfinished work they have thus
far so Hobly carried OF. 1t is rather
Tor Us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us, that
from these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that cause for
which they here gave the last full
measure pf devotion; that we here
highly resolve that the dead shall
not have died in vain, that the nation
shall, under God, have new birth of
freedom, and that this government of
the people, by the people, and for the
people, shall not perish from the
earth"
