Tor BRUSH goods que 10 tne Tree traue ten-
denotes of Grover Cleveland and his party.
Says the London Colliery Guardian:
Congressman James E. Campbell. is a
Northern Democrat from the State of Ohio.
He is also protectionist, but as has been
the fate of other Northern Democrats almost
from the foundation of the government, has
been dragooned by the Southern wing OF his
party into supporting measure which his
conscience does not approve Il voted" he
SAYS, "for the Mills bill and it is true we
have passed 1t By larger majority than we
anticipated when the compilation of the
measure was begun. 1t is true that we Sc
cured three Republican votes and lost but
four Democrats, but 1 have premonition
that we have made q bad Job of it." Mr..
Campbeli's premonition is not based upon
any superstitious fears but upon an intelli-
gent comprehension of the sentiment of the
voters In his district and in the districts of
others Of his party associates from the
North. He readily admits: 81 do not ex-
pect to see more than four or five Democratic
members returned to the next House from
New York State. / am not candidate for
re election and do not believe could be re-
elected. am what you would term mild
proteetionist, and yet have voted for bill
with strong free trade tendencies. If this
bill means anything it means long step
directly toward free trade, because it has put
many of our leading productions on the free
list" Mr.. Campbell believed in protection /;
the prosperity Of his State and district under
the system ofprotection had taught him the
wisdom of the policy and the great advan-
tages Of its results; down in the depths of
his heart he had no sympathy with the free
trade ideas of the slave-holding oligarchy
which have returned in this generation to
poster the free laborers of the North and re-
tard the Industrial emancipation of the mil
Hons of pauper laborers Of the South; he no
doubt felt like revolving when the power of
the administration patronage was turned
loose to crush the Randall wing of his party !;
yet he submitted to his Southern masters as
the old Doughfaces did years ago, and voted
against the dictates Of his conscience and his
intelligence. The self sacrifice of Northern
Democrats before the power welded by their
Southern masters is spectacle of folly and
madness strongly suggestive of the useless
self-destruction of the devotees of Jugger-
naut.

A Dish of Grow.
Argus.

We were informed last Saturday by Mr..
Charles Thomas, who had just arrived
from Birch creek, that few days before
his departure the Indians at the Black
foot agency were thrown into state of
excitement over the announcement that a
band of fifteen Crow Indians had been re-
Gently seen upon the Marias, Who were
making their way afoot towards the agen-
cy. A reporter, wishing to know if any
thing more had been heard of the band of
Grows, asked Mr.. Aldrich, who arrived
yesterday, for information concerning
their movements Mr.. Aldrich replied
that there had not really been any Crows
seen upon the Marias, but that a few
days ago three Piegan bucks, who were
out on passes from the agent, called at
his ranch where himself and JAS. McDev-
lit were engaged IN conversation, and Mr..
McDeyitt, wishing to get rid of the bucks,
asked him (Aldrich) if he had seen any
thing more of the fifteen Crow bucks that
were down upon the Marias. The bucks,
who live in constant dread of the Grows,
had heard all they wanted to produce the
desired effect, and Immediately proceeded
to the Blackfoot agency and circulated
the news that caused the excitement

A CoLD-BLooDED MURDER.
The Murderer Arrested and in the Spo-
kane Jail.

SPOKANE FALLS, Sept. Fred Krohl
was murdered near this city Tuesday by
one Miller, German, and his companion
with whom he had been camping, and the
body thrown into the river. Information
was received by Sheriff Glispin, from Con
tractor Roberts, that his boy, Harry Rob
erts, had witnessed murder down on the
river bottom, near J. J. Brownies resi-
vestigation, and man answering the de-
scription of murderer was arrested. The
rocks on the river bank were bespattered
with blood. On them lay pair of jeans
overalls, blue flannel shirt and a card Of
the exchange hotel, Walla Walla, ban
dana handkerchief, a receipted freight bill
for roll of blankets, dated Colfax, Aug.
IL, made out to Fred Kroll, ticket from
Portland to Pennington, dated Aug. 4,
and pocket knife. In the river, face
downward, lay the body, dressed only in a
pair of red drawers and undershirt, and
blue calico shirt.
The body was removed from the water
and an examination made. The skull was
smashed in several places and the face
bloody, while there was a bad cut over
the right eye.
At the inquest the boys said they we're
in clump Of bushes disrobing prepara-
tory to taking a bath, when they saw the
murderer drag his victim to the river and
throw him in. The man had previously
been beaten into insensibility. At the
lookup the boys identified the man ar
rested, whose name is Miller, as the mur
derer. Miller says he is a German, but he
has been living some time in the Hawai-
ian islands. In July he arrived in San
Francisco on sailing yessel-the d. g..
Murray there met Krohl. They left
San Francisco together August 4 for
Portland and two days after their arrival
in the latter place started for Pennington
and Colfax. They missed the train and
walked to Spokane Falls, where they ar
rived week ago. Since that time they
have been camping out down below the
falls. Krohl had had money which he
brought from the Hawaiian islands, but
had spent and lost it in Colfax. He told
the party who captured him that he had
eaten several times recently with party
of Italians, with whom he was found, but
they say they had meyer seen him before.
He claims that he and Krohl frequently
went bathing together, that Tuesday he
left in the afternoon, when Krohl said he
was going to town to write a letter. The
coroner's jury held Miller to answer be-
fore the grand jury.

4 TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
Terrible Effects of Missoula Whiskey Upon
an Imbiber of the StimuIant.

M1ssoULA, Sept. 8.-Monday afternoon
. man named Fred Miller was taken from
the Rush house to the Sisters hospital.
If anpears the man has been at work for
some time up the valley. About week
aoo he came down to the city and sold a
cavuge for s15, which money he at once
enent for liquor When his money was
zone ard he was soaked through and
through he went to bed. During three
davs the chambermaid at the hotel no
ticed a man in the bed, but did not notice
that he was the same man. Each morn
ing she looked in he appeared to be
asleep. Yesterday morning, while stand
ing at the foot of the stairs, Mr. Mat
thews noticed man trying to slide him
self down the stairs, and on investigation,
found it was Miller and that his whole
right side and tongue we're paralyzed.
The liquor had done it's work, and the
poor fellow had laid in his bed, unable to
speak, for three days and three nights,
and had finally managed to crawl over to
the stairway. He was at once taken to
the Sisters hospital, where he is receiv-
ing the best of care. The chambermaid
is a novice in her work and new hand in
the house, or she would have undoubted-
ly known enough to report the matter to
Mrs. Matthews several days ago. 1t is
not known whether or not the man can
be cured. Miller is the man, it will be
remembered, who narrowly escaped
drowning with several companions in the
Bitter Root about this time last year and
who was long thereafter supposed to be
dead. The Sisters nursed him back to
health then and may be able to cure him
now

A City to be Depopulated.

JACKSONVILLE, Sept. THE committee
of depopulation completed a census Of the
city today and reported the total popula-
ton remaining at 1857 whites and 375
colored. It is expected 5000 or 1000 will
leave tomorrow and that in ten or twelve
days the depopulation of this city will be
complete. Those without cash can hardly
be provided for in the refugee camp IN
side of month or six weeks, during
which time it is feared the epidemic will
have done it's work and hundreds of lives
sacrificed.

Manitoba and Burlington.

The New York Times of recent date
publishes the following from Minneapolis:
''The great problem IN the northwestern
corner of the railroad world just now is
the disposition Of the official positions on
the Manitoba road. Assistant General
Superintendent G. w Case, of the north
ern district of the Milwaukee, has resign
ed, and will become general superintend-
ent of the Manitoba, taking the place of
John NJ Egan, but Mr.. Case is not going
at once, as has been reported. His resig-
nation does not take effect day before
the middle of September. AS to the
changes on the Manitoba, it is said from
a trustworthy source, that they are caus-
ed by no less deal than the transfer of a
large interest in the road to syndicate of
capitalists largely interested IN the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy. President
J. J. Hill and dex-Vice-President Kennedy
are said to be the stockholders who IN
loaded. The inference drawn from the
state Of affairs is that the Manitoba and
Burlington systems will now be run in
close sympathy, and that Northwestern
freight of the Burlington will be carried
out by means of the Manitoba. It is
understood that General Manager Allen
Marvel will be president, while Vice-Pres-
ident w. P. Clough will retain his present
position.
