A Terrible Tramp.

Butte Miner: Mrs. Annie Hately and
her little daughter arrived from Utah
few days ago, having Travelled on foot
nearly all the way from their home in
Coalville. Their feet were covered with
blisters, and they were in totally des-
titute condition. The object Of Mrs.
Hately's arduous journey was to search
for her little boy who disappeared from
home two years ago, when he was but
six years old. He, with his mother and
sisters, were variety dancers. and as the
bow had made extraordinary progress in
his profession, the mother supposed that
he was coaxed away, or abducted by
variety troupe travelling through Utah
at that time. Hearing that Butte was
great center of attraction for performers
| of that class, she thought it possible
that her boy might be found here, and on
the slight chance of finding him under
took the terrible tramp of nearly sou
miles. and accomplished it after passing
through untold hardships. After salts
flying herself from close lnvestlgatlon
that her lost boy was not at any place OF
amusement in Butte, Mrs. Hately ap-
Piled at the sheriff's Office for relief for
herself and daughter. Deputy Sheriff
Reynolds found them accommodations
for the first night, and then they were
given comfortable room in the jail,
and their wants administered to by the
kind-hearted officials. Yesterday morn
ing thev started homeward, having been
provided with ticket by the county
commissioners. The poor woman an
nounced her intention of continuing the
search, and the chances are that she Will

into every important camp in the noun

The reported finding of fourteen skele-
tons under the cabin of La Blunt, half
breed living near Pierre, Dakota, seems to
have had its origin in the vivid magma
ton of some modern Munchausen who was
acting as special correspondent OF Chicago
papers, at Pierre. When Fred La Blunt,
a member of the family. went to that town
and was shown the story, he hunted up the
correspondent and, forcing him to admit its
falsehood, proceeded to express his opinion
of such enterprise by vigorous attempt
to punch the correspondents head, when
friends intcrfered.

Can Honorable Men Accept Dishonest
asaIns2

Providence Telegram.
Will the bril- bed votes for Royal G, Taft
and Enos Lapham keep long enough to
be counted, or will they purify from
their inherent corruption? The daily
published accounts of the infamous aud
open use of money by which the republi-
can state ticket secured its election are
enough to make one fall on his knees and
pray, "God save the State of Rhode ISL
and and Providence Plantations"
Royal G. Taft and Enos Lapham are
both called honorable men in the business
walks of life. Now let them come for
ward and say that they decline to accept
of political elevation obtained by the
bribery and degradation of thousands
of their fellow men. The poor Warwick
negroes and the ignorant Irshmen of the
Tenth ward are not half so much to blame
as the men who contributed to the corrup-
ton fund and hired the political bummers
to do the foul work.
An enlightened and moral public senti
ment has always pointed the finger Of
scorn at other men here in Rhode Island
who tloated into Office on the tide of cor>
ruption. Royal G. Taft and Enos lap
ham will be no exception to this rule if
they accept honors which they both know
now-if they did not before-were pur-
chased at such price All honest people
will wait with much solicitude to see
what Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Lapham will do.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has made an.
other enemy. He vetoed the bill passed
by congress to Nathaniel Mckay to sue
the United States in the court of claims
for additional compensation for the con-
structlon of certain iron clad vessels. The
president says in his veto message: 1T
hardly seems fair to the government to
permit these claims to be presented after
lapse of twenty three years since set
Element in full was made and receipts
given, after the opportunity which had
been offered for establishing further
claims if they existed, and when as a con-
sequence of the contractors neglect, the
government would labor under great dis
advantages in its defense | am of the
opinion, in view of the history of these
claims and the suspicion naturally excit-
ed as to their merit, that no injustice
will be done if they are laid at rest in
stead of being given new life and vigor
in the court of claims" That settles Mr..
McKay's old claim and it also makes one
vote certain against the reelection of the
president if Mr.. Nathaniel Mckay should
live until the election. But then the
people like the president "for the ene-
mics he has made" out of such treasury
raiders as Nathaniel Mckay.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 19.-The Republican
state convention which met here Wednesday
wrangled over contesting delegations from
Richmond county until o'clock at night, at
which hour a compromise was effected and
both delegations were seated. j. II. Dever-
eaux was elected permanent chairman, and
after an hours discussion, A. Beck, A. W.
Pledger, W. ]. White and r. D. Locke were
elected delegates to the national convention
from the state at large The vote was viva
voce and was taken amid great uproar, and
the result was received with loud cries of
protest that the chair was acting unfairly.
Four alternates were then elected and the
convention adjourned for an hour to allow
the committee on resolutions and platform to
report. Most of the members left the hall
and very few returned to vote on the resolu-
tons, which favor protection and demand
repeal of the internal revenue. After adopt
ing the report of the committee the conven-
ton elected state central committee and
adjourned. The Georgia delegation leans
toward Senator Sherman for president.

New ALBANY, Ind, April l9,-The Craw-
ford county white Caps" were again on the
warpath Tuesday night Ten days ago they
notified James Seebcrs, Robert Bloomfield,
and Mrs. Nancy Wilson that unless they
ceased their bad practices, reformed and
went to work within ten days they would be
given 100 lashes each. The notices We're in
writing and were left on the door steps of tho
individuals notified, together with bundle
of long hickory switches Bloomfield and
Seekers treated the warnings with contempt,
swearing they would fiji the bodies of the
white Caps with bullets should they at
tempt to carry out their warning, and vow
ing also TO defend Mrs Wilson. These per
sons all reside in the country few miles dis.
tant from English, Crawford county, and
forty miles west of this city. They are all
very tough characters, and are charged by
the people with number Of otfenses,
About midnight of the 18th the white
Caps fifty strong, rode up to Mrs. Wilson's
house, where Broomfeld and Seebers were
spending the night. Both men and the woman
were seized and, in spite of their piteous pleas
not to be whipped, taken TO the woods
stripped, and tied TO trees. The men were
given l2j lashes each, the elastic switches
cutting into the flesh and drawing blood at
every stroke. The men tainted several times,
but water was thrown upon them aud they
were rssuscitated, only to he again lashed
Tho woman, tied to "A tree near by, witnessed
all this, and was terrified almost into insensi-
bility She begged piteously that she be
spared, but the "White Caps were merciless.
"You have kept den of thieves and vaga-
bonds, and led life of har-
lotry," they answered, land We
will make you suffer for it."
AT the end of twenty five lashes the
wrctched woman was apparently in dead
faint, and she was spared further torture
When the victims were united they fell to the
ground and We're loft there. The white
Caps then rode away to the residences of
several other dsreputables to notify them to
leave the country or take the consequences.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.


New ORLEANS, April 19.-As to the gener
al result of the election in this state there is
little to add to the news of Tuesday night
This city gives the Democratic state ticket
about 10000 majority. Every return from
the parishes shows increased Democratic and
reduced Republican majorities. In some Of
the parishes the Republican vote was so small
as to indicate that no contest whatever was
made. Nichols majority in this state, it now
appears, will not be less than 81, 900. The
Democratic vote in the state, it is estimated,
will be from liz, 900 to lie, 900, which is about
80, 900 votes greater than was polled by the
Democratic party in the last state election.
The large increase in Democratic majorities
and votes in number of parishes is attrib-
uted to two causes-one, the belief that got
abroad in the country that because of the OPP
position to the regular ring ticket in New
Orleans Warmoth would carry the city or SO
ruduce the Democratic majority as to en-
danger the state, and the Democrats in the
parishes determined to provide for any posi-
bic deficiency in News Orleans. Another
cause assigned is the desire of the Democrats
to secure large representation for their par
shes in the party conventions. Representa-
ton in these conventions is based on the vote
for governor.

A state Up at Auction.

Burlington GAZette.
Rhode Island appears to have really
outdone itself in the buying of votes at
last weeks election. That republican
power has been maintained for years
by the most barefaced suppression of
suffrage and corruption was well Known,
but the story which comes from that
state goes beyond anything ever before
recorded.
According to the Providence Journal,
which is itself republican paper, but
opposed to the practices of the party,
votes were bought and sold like so much
merchandise at an auction. The market
opened in many places at So head early
in the morning and quickly rose to 81,
while in the afternoon it reached SO.
where it remained until the polls closed.
Men stood around offering tickets with
one hand and brass checks good for the
price agreed on with the other, These
were cashed at hotels, where free drinks
were also dispensed. Had this happen
ed in democratic state the republican
senate would already have a committee
on the ground investigating the corrupN
ton. But Rhode Island being republi-
can, of course, no such inquiry will be
set on foot
If Rhode Island were anything but
rotten borough it has been for so long
this election would bring somebody be-
hind prison bars AS it is nothing is
likely to be done, for every department
of tine state government is in possession
of those who have profited politically by
the corruption,
The adoption of the constitutional
amendment placing naturalized citizens
on footing of equality with those of
native birth was secured by very mar
row margin, despite the fact that all par
ties announced themselves in favor of it.
The republican managers evidently
worked against it in secret, They fear
the accession of some $4,000 residents of
the state to the voting population-citi-
zens who, in the past, have been denied
the elective franchise. These 5000 will
unquestionably become voters now and
will doubtless prove. the executioners of
the party and the system that decides
elections by auction in the state of Rh ode
Island.

THE CELEBRATION IN 1892.
A Plea In Behalf of Government Assistance
To the Project.

WASHINGTON CITY, April ia. d. An
derson, secretary of the board Of promotion
of the constitution centennial in 1889, and the
exposition Of the three Americas in 1922, was
before the subcommittee of the house for
egn affairs committee Wednesday urging
action. In arguing for this exposition he said
that citizens of the United States spent $780,
900 in Europe annually, and that the re-
cent appropriations by congress for European
expositions, while emnently proper, could not
fail TO largely increase this expenditure The
establishment of an exposition at Washington
such as was proposed would bring tourists to
America, thus recouping the country for the
annual expenses of American tourists in Eu-
rope. He added:
"If by building up the proposed exposition
on the scale proposed we can make our ma
tional capital the Paris of America in beauty
and attractions, the Berlin of America in ed
ucational advantages the Rome of America
in art, and the Mecca of America for tourists,
students, and others from the outside world,
it is a movement which should be sustained
by every patriotic citizen"
He then urged the Importance Of the cele-
bration ON other grounds, and asked for an
appropriation of $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses of the board of directors.

WASHINGTON CITY. April 10 Heidelberg
er's resolution for the public consideration of
the fisheries treaty was reported back to the
senate adversely Wednesday, A bill was in
troduced for the purchase of site for a su-
preme court building The bill for the for
fixture of unearned land grants was then
considered, but without action it went over
and Sherman replied to Vests speech of
Tuesday in which he asserted that Hayes was
not fairly elected. Sherman defended the
action of the Louisiana returning board,
showed that the electoral commission was
supported by more Democrats than Repub-
lcans in congress, and explained the success
of the Democratic state ticket in louisiana
while the Republican national ticket was de-
clared elected. Vest declared the explana-
ton did not explain and had read Blaine's
speech denouncing that feature of the 1875
election. Hawey replied to Vest. These
speeches were made in consideration of the
Dakota bill, and that measure went over
without action. The conference report on
the American commercial convention bill
was presented and was pending when the
senate at p. m. adjourned
A bill to prohibit Chinese immigration was
introduced in the house by Belmont, and the
report of the conference committee on the bill
authorizing the president to arrange con-
ference between American nations agreed to.
The committee on labor then got the floor, and
the bill to create department of labor was
passed Next, after long debate, the bill to
create board of arbitration to settle dis
putes between common carriers and their emf
ployes was passed. The opponents, among
whom were Anderson of Iowa, Tillman of
South Carolina, Foran of Ohio, and Brock
enridge of Kentucky, urged in brief that the
bill simply pointed out the way how not to
do it. The house then adjourned.
