LIMBS RECREANCY.

So Congressman LIND intends to be
recreant to the trust repOsed in him by
the people of the Second district, does
he? His pompOus assertion that lie will
under no circumstances vote for the
MILLS bill doesn't leave much doubt
on that score. But we confess that we
are not in the least surprised. We
have always thought Mr.. LIND man of
altogether too small caliber to represent
any section of this great state in con-
greSS. In no respect was he fitted for
the position.
NarroW-minded; without experience
of the world save what he gained in a
country town, beyond whose limits he
had seldom been until he went to Wash
mgton; of meager intellect and less
culture, his nomination and election
were both decided mistakes. Had it
not been for the trace cry,"
either would have been impossible.
Yet it is an insult to worthy and intel
1igent class of citizens to say that Mr..
LIND is representative of the best the
Scandinavians can do in the way of fur
niShing public men. A comparison of
Mr.. LIND with KNUTE NELSON is Suffi-
Gent to show the folly of any such sup
position. NELSON is man quick to
recognize the needs of the people and to
respond to them. He deSeryedly ranks
4 as the peer of any man in congress.
b LIND is nonentity, so much overcome
in admiration of his conceited imagin-
ings as to arrOgantly assume that in cry
ing for relief from the burden of taxa
ton the people of his district don't
know what is good for them. Is it then
to be presumed that LIND has cast

Prospects of a Lynching.

Sr.LoUIs, March 21.-A special says
that people at Coal Hill, Ark, are
worked up to furore over series of
outrages that have given the peaceful
mining camp criminal notoriety that
is disgusting, and there is promise of a
double lynehing very soon. Clifford,
the penitentiary warden who so brutally
served the prisoners under him, is in
taken to the Coal Hill Jail at once.
While awaiting for him, the people
clamor for George Crisp, who is now in
the Ozark Jail, having been arrested
yesterday by the sheriff, charged with
a criminal assault ON the eight-year-oId
daughter of the Rev. Mr.. Huddleson, of
Coal Hill. The authorities are hourly
expected at Coal Hill, and hanging is
very probable.

NO NEWS OF TATE.
Result of the Investigation as Far
as Prosecuted.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 21.-Auditor
Hewitt states that he has found as re-
suit of his investigation March II, 1887
Just year ago, acknowledgements
Tate had in bank money to meet every
voucher and could have squared ac-
counts with the state that day to cent,
but the auditor does not think all this
shortage has occurred since that
date, but the money must have
been drawn since then. He thinks the
leakage has been going on for years.
and Tate has been bridging it over from
time to time, and UP to year ago was
able to place in the bank at counting
sufficient sums to make his books
square. The political effect of the de-
faleatiOn is discussed On all sides.
While the Republicans exuIt the Demo
Gratis point to the splendid record Gov.
Buekner has made and his prompt ac-
ton upon the first intin,ation that all
was, not right, in pushing an investiga-
ton which had already been demanded
by, the party in the legislature.
No whitewashing was attempted,
and, the leaders Of the party with
out hesitation lay before the people the
pertidy of the man they had trusted and
honored so long. The culpability of
the party in retaining a man so long in
Office without repeated investigations is
put forward by some. These same
claim that the affair will have whole
some effect ON the party. The ability
and integrity of candidates will be more
closely scrutaniZed and the officials held
to more strict accountability. A dis
patch from Frankfort late this after
noon says: There is disposition ON
the part of the assembly to go quietly and
directly to the very bottom of the matter
and to shield no one. The idea is to
have the matter of who has borrowed
the states money and turned the treas
ury into banking convenience exposed
promptly to the fullest, leaving off no
name, however prominent. The state
wants to know where her money has
gone, and the assembly intends to graf
ify her natural curiosity. This is caus-
ing unhappiness in certain high judicial
circles, it is said, but nevertheless it
must come. The clerks and legislators,
attorneys, judges, ETC., who have made
over drafts On the state treasury, and by
thsir negligence in paying have brought
this disgrace upon the people of Ken
lucky and biotted the states fair
escutcheon, must be given the benefit
of publicity. Tate's hiding is unknown.

ton is known tonight. 1t amounts to

A THEATER HORROR.
Nearly 100 Persons Meet Death in
a Theater Fire.

OPoRTo, March 21.-While perform
ance was in progress at the Banquet
theater last night, an explosion of gas
occurred and the theater took fire
and was destroyed. The house was full
of spectators and number of lives
were lost. Eighty bodies have been
taken from the ruins. Most of those
burned were in the third tier boxes and
galleries. Whose families were suffOca-
ted. There was terrific struggle at
the doors when the spectators tried to
escape. Large numbers were suffOcated
and trampled upon. Many on reaching
the street were so seriously injured that
they vomited blood. Nearly all the vic
tins were spectators. The actors es-
capped in their theatrical costumes.
Many in the theater, finding themselves
unable to reach the doors, jumped from
the windows. Some eOrpseS were found
in the stage boxes. The gas was eXtin-
guiShed shortly after the fire broke out,
thus adding to the confusion. Large
gangs of werkmen are exploring the
ruins. Two bodies were discovered
locked in close embrace.

NELSON VS.. SABIN.
Will the Norwegian Get Into the
Senate on the Tariff Issue?--State
Press Comments.
Washington Letter to Boston Globe.


Washington Letter to Boston Globe
A Norwegian in the senate
That is just the thing good many
level-headed people are expecting to see
next year. He is from Minnesota, and
his name is Knute Nelson. Minnesota
has been uniformly steady and sturdy
in her partisanship ever since she came
into the Union. But the problem of
federal taxation is rapidly and pro-
foundry unsettling her. From all almost
unanimous Republican state few years
ago she has now progressed to the
doubtful column. At the last election
the official count was required to reveal
the name of the successful candidate for
governor.
Minnesota is state not only of new
growth but of new blood. The civil war
is no more Of an issue among the hard
headed, thrifty newcomers up there
than is Shay's rebellion. They share i'll
no degree the unreasoning and frenZied
passions that are from time to time eX-
cited in neighboring states. The popu-
lation has multiplied by immigration
several times since the war broke out.
Most of her people are of the Seandina-
Wan and German races, and they make
a thrifty, independent and common
sense community, everywhere with fat
cows, sleek horses, big horns and pol
ishing housewives. Their part in poll
ties is large and growing. They are not
clannish and prOScriptive, bnt numeric-
ally and morally they are necessarily OF
first importance. OF the five Minnesota
representatives in congress one was
born in Norway, one i'll Sweden, one in
Scotland. one in Ireland and another in
Vermont. They have no old idols to be
welded to-, and they are low tariff men
beyond all else. Three of them are
Democrats and two are Republicans.
Knute Nelson is a Republican, who
was born in Norway and who represents
everybody between st. Cloud and the
Lake OF the Woods. Nobody ever votes
against Knute Nelson. But he has been
voting against the Republican trust pro-
tectors in congress. He has tired of
trying to do anything there, however,
and has told his constituents that they
must find another representative. This
they will do, but they and good many
people scattered all over Minnesota de-
clare that Nelson shall succeed Dwight
May Sabin in the senate next March.
The feeling back of this purpose is to
swap sharp politician for an earnest
and fearless legislator. Mr.. Sabin is a
pushing business man and an intense
partisan politician. He has not paid
much attention to home sentiment, and
cool calcuIators believe that he will be
beaten, outside the Republican caucus,
when the new legislature meets next
January.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 21.-A terrible
electric storm enveloped the state last

Several dwellings were demolished

MAILS ALL REGULAR.
All Parties Willing to Handle the
Mails.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Thomas e.
Nash, general superintendent of the
railway mail service, has returned to
the city from Chicago, where he person.
ally represented the postoffice depart
ment during the recent threatened in
terruption of mail transportation grow
ing ont of the strike of the locomotive
engineers. Mr.. Nash said to reporter
to-day that the mails are now being car
ried on all roads without delay or inter
ruption. He believes that all the engi-
neers were willing and anxious to haul
mail cars whether strike is on or off,
and that the railway officials were
equally willing to let them do so. Mr..
Nash stated, in answer to an inquiry,
that an unsettled, feverish feeling still
prevails among those best informed as
to the situation, and grave fears are Ell
tertained that the strike cannot be kept
within it's present limits, but may yet
extend to other roads and systems, and
so pass beyond conservative control.
Mr.. Nash did not wish to be understood
as giving expression to the views of
alarmists, but he regarded the situation
as critical.

PROPER CLASSIFICATION.

Our esteemed contemporary Puck, has
very clear political insight OF It's own.
In recent issue it very concisely CLASH
fies number of Republican leaders.
Messrs. SHERMAN, ALLISON, HAwLEY,
HoAR, EvARTs and one or two lesser
lights are represented as old women Cos
siping over their tea. On the walls,
carefully preserved, are the rebel flags,
bloody shirt and other choice relics
familiar to the Republicans for the last
twenty-five years.
Puck has epitOmiZed the situation and
classified the candidates very well IN
deed. Each one Of the men whom 1T
makes masquerade as old women seems
to be unable to realize that this is diff
ferent day and different generation
from that which produced the stirring
events of twenty-five years ago. They
fail to recognize the fact that the peo-
pie Of to-day have more material,
more vital questions to consider
than the appeals to sectional feeling
and partisan prejudice to which the
members of Puck's tea party would have
them give heed. They are back num-
bers, sadly out of date, presenting no
new ideas and no novel suggestions.
They have become stereotyped, and the
people are tired of them.
Nor is it the Democrats alone who are
moved with nothing but disgust by the
utterances of these political relics. The
Repu blicans as well, those of the pres
ent generation at least, are equally tired
Of the men who pose as their leaders,
and yet are unable to furnish fresher
ammunition than that which has become
useless in quarter Of country's serv-
ice.
They are tired Of exploded cartridges
and discharged bombs as means of war
fare. They want leaders abreast of the
times, capable of meeting progressive
Democracy on its own ground. They
won't find them among the political
grannies whom Puck SO admirably car
toonS.

GAINESVILLE Argus.
1t is given cut that Knute Nelson is
working to secure an election to the
United States senate to succeed Sabin.
But whatever is done in that line will
be done for naught. Nelson will never
occupy a senatorial chair. The ten
dency of state politics and the indica-
tons all point to the reelection of Sabin,
and it may safely be assumed that that
gentleman will succeed himself. A few
months ago this would not have been
thought of, and the change that has
been brought is simply one of those in
