The Mud batteries of the Republican
Press to Be Dischal ged Soon.

Washington special: The Capital, which
is usually The best posted OF the Washing
ton Sunday papers, has a double loaded
editorial which sounds the note of warning
to-day:
"Intimations come to us from various
quarters that in view OF the existing prob
ability that the present administration is
to be continued for another four years, the
mud batteries OF the Republican press are
being loaded for malignant and savage
assault upon the President OF the United
States and some OF the members OF his
cabinet. it is reported that, in the hope
OF influencing the action OF the convention
tti be held at st Louis during the first
week in June, there is in contemplation q
grand dump Of the mud now being col
lected prior to the meeting Of that con-
ventiou. NE do not propose to indicate
what is the purport OF the narratives with
rhi,h llese mn! u:uchipes are said to be
charged, but we understand that for
atrocity and baseness they have never
been exc. He'd in the history OF political
warfare in the United States. 1t seems to
us that it will require good deal OF cour-
age for any newspaper to undertake the
publication OF the scoundrel!y stuff which
is now in process OF preparation, but it is
reported that encouragement in the rniser-
able work is furnished from high quarters.
We hear it said that two Senators OF the
United States are among the abettors OF
the proposed attack upon the head OF the
Government and it's advisers.
We'll, all we have to say is that the con-
stitution of the United States does not
forbid the election OF II fool to the United
States Senate. We presume if this report
be correct that these sta tesmen are so fully
prepared for public examination OF their
own private lives and family relations that
they can afford to figure of the patrons
and employers as a band of expert liars in
the manufacture of scandals against men
for whom the American people entertain
the greatest possible respect. OF one
thing they are certain-that any attempt
OF the sort we have described can have no
other result than to destroy the persons
who engage in it. Fortunately, the people
OF the United States have q keen sense OF
justice and profound respect for what is
honorable and fair and no mans reputa-
tion in this country can be wantonly
crushed, nor cas- it be permanently injured
except with his own consent. We wait for
the mud throwing to begin.''

bitterly of the treatment the Knights OF

A Confidence Operator Secures $40G
Sealslxisl.

New York Morning Journal: About the
maddest man in town yesterday was c. G..
shayne, the well-known fur manufacturer
of No. 1O3 Prince street. He brought down
his ponderous fist with whack upon his
mahogany desk as he said: ''I'd give $500
if had the scoundrel here now-iust for a
moment" The reason for Mr.. Shayne's
outbreak was this At II o'clock Wednes-
day stylish hanson drove up to the door
Of his salesrooms, on Prince street, and a
dapper young man jumped out. He ap-
peared to be of SOME standing and full OF
business, for he walked briskly in and asked
to see Mr.. Shayne. One OF the statesmen in
formed him that Mr.. Shayne was not in
just then but he would be happy to attend
to him. "Oh, all right them" Here the
young man drew a fancy memorandum
book from his pocket, turned over a few
pages and suddenly remarked:
"Ha, here it is. [ want you to get me
the best Alaska sealskin newmarket you
have got. Let it be 36 inches i'll the bust
and 81 inches long. I don't care about the
price, but want it taken down to my
father at w. H. Scbieff1en & Co. S store, cor
ner OF William and Beekman streets. It
must be there at II sharp, as my father
who, by the way, is member OF the firm
has to leave for his home in Tarrytown at
1915"
The salesman rubbed bis hands and set
to work to get the desired article. He fixed
upon an elegant one valued at $4OO, and
as Mr.. Shayne had not returned at IL
o'clock he decided to take it down to
Schiefflen's big wholesale drug store as re.
squested. When he reached there he found
The same carriage in waiting, and when he
entered he saw the young man affably talk
ing with an employe Of the place.
''Ah,, see you are on time, " he chirruped,
as he advanced toward the salesman.
"Just give me the garment and will take
it to my father in his private office and
bring you back the money
He got the newmarket, but he has not
been seen since, nor has any father been
heard OF, for no such man exists. The
coachman waited outside with the coach.

THE MARTIN CASE.
Before the Rowand case was resumed this
afternoon, at half-past one O'Clock Mr..
Haldorn, representing Martin, the man
charged with murder at Anaconda last
February, called up the petition for a
change OF the place OF trial, and was
argued by him for the prisoner, and by
County Attorney Durfee for the T rritory.
Mr.. Haldorn read some cases as to the ad-
instability of the affidavits OF the prosecu-
tion, and after some discussion the court
granted the petition, and ordered that the
trial take place in Silver Bow County. at
Butte.
