Where They Tie Prisoners to Trees.

" The querest thing about the in
terror towns in Texax,' remarked
Edward Garfield, a cigar and Tobacco
man for st. Louis house, Sin the
absence of jails. Very few of some
pretty big cities are supplied with
these, which in other localities are
looked upon as necessaries. The
reason, so far as | could see when
there is that minor ofienses are pun
ished by Punishment from the town.
But where a person has committed
murder or stolen something they
have a better way of keeping him
safely than penning him up in jail
They tie him to a tree, usually by
the neck. Inever heard of a prisoner
escaping after being tied up in this
manner Omaha Herald.

Mirror Of ireland Company.
OF an unique character was the
"Nirror Of Ireland" in the Theatre
last evening by the Dan Norris Sui
Ivan company. A panoramic view
of Ireland, consisting of numerous
fine and realistic scenes Of the
sould sod," with brilliant acting in
front of them by Barney" ssNora"
and other characters, was what
made the people present last even
ing so full Of enthusiasm. The
scenes in Dublin, Belfast, Cork and
Londonderry, the ruined castles,
the noted monuments, the storm on
the sea, and, above all, tho moon
light scene on the "Lakes OF Killar-
ney," was simply grand. In the
last scene, the waters glittered in
the moonlight whenever the lumi-
nary of the night peeped from be-
hind the thlckening clouds, until
ore fancied that he was really be-
holding a moonlight evening on
those lakes made SO famous in Irish
song. 1t was a fine performance,
and the people were never more
satisfied. (Utah) Enquirer.

THE ELECTION.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS
AROUND TIE POLLS.

Things 60 Very Quietly IL
Yesterday witnessed one of thu
quietest elections ever held in Car
son. It was quiet in contrast t.
the tumultuous demonstrations anG
suppressed excitement of two yealI
ago.
There being practically but one
ticket the gathering on the street
corner near Muller & Schmitts was
very slim all day.
Men went quietly to the polls
and as quietly went home. The
main excitement was not in the
county election but every scrap OF
news about New York and Indiana
was deyourad with avidity. All
sorts OF runlors were in the air
about the weather, and no two ac-
counts were alike.
First it would be circulated that
the cay was perfect in New York
and then would ccn,e dispatch or
pretended one that it was raining
in New York, raining in Indiana
and hailing in Kentucky.
Republicans looked upon bad
weather as aa unfortunate signal
from New York as they remark
ed how the elements had
knockd out Blaine in 1884.
Tie weather in Nevada was dull
and cloudy and the clouds seem to
have caused Fairs sack to go into
eclipse for there were no signs Of
any money being used anywhere.
Everybody was feeling good
natured and Democrats and Repub-
licans mingled freely together ban
tering each other With small bets.
1t being rather cold a street fire
was kept up on the Corner where
the voters without regard TO party
could warm their toes.

"A White Mans aorsrnmsnt.,

Los Angeles, Cali Mirror.
There are many practical and potent
reasons which make the matter of poll
tical success in the coming Presidential
campaign one of prodigious Importance
to the Democratic party. Should Re-
publican President be elected next No
vember the probability is that Cleve-
land is the last Democratic President
of the nineteenth century.
Before another Presidential election
the census of 1890 will have been COM
pleted. The increase of population IN
the Northern States has Seen over
whelmingly greater than at the South.
The South now sends a greater num-
Der of electors to the Electoral College
in proportion to its population than
does the North. and thus the Solid
South requires fewer electoral votes
from the North to help it secure a
Democratic President for the country
than it will require after the represent
tation of the different States has been
reapportioned upon the basis of the
new census. In other words, it is
doubtful If by any means OF political
scheming or political terrorism the De
mocracY will be able to marshal suffi-
cient strength to secure majority of
votes in the Electoral College upon the
new OASIS OF representation. In view
OF this the New York Sun urges the
Importance of the Democratic party
making no mistake in the coming cam
paign, and asserts that its only hope
for the future lies in retaining the
Presidency four years more. It says:
LET not the southern Democrats be
deceived in this matter. If they want
to maintain white mans government
in the States where the census attests
an excess of blacks over whites, they
must elect Democratic President
What have our colored citizens who
are urged to vote the Democratic ticket
to say TO this proposition? "a white
mans government What does that
mean but denial of political rights to
the black man? What does it mean
but that the Democratic party pro-
poses to control the elections in the
South, and visit with its vengeance
every colored voter who dares to vote
in opposition to it? The very deSper-
alton of the situation makes these pol
itical Judases bold and outSpoken,
hoping that by arousing the party to
action it may still be able to control
the political machine and vote itself
into power for another four years.

Civil Service Reform and the Union Soldier

From the Emporia Republican.
Absurd as the statement is, most any
Democrat will tell you with a great
show of earnestness that the Union
army was composed principally of
Democrats, and that the Democratic
party since the war has been the special
friend of the Union soldier and is do
ing more for him to-day than ever was
done by the Repu blicans. 1t is not
necessary to stop to controvert asser-
lions which are plainly false on their
face; but it may be interesting to some
Of our eX-soldier friends to know how
their disabled comrades are being
served by the present reform admin
istratiOn. We have received an accur-
ate statement, carefully prepared and
covering exact facts, of charges affect
ing soldiers only, made in single Office
of the treasury department-thato of
the second comptroller. The reason
able inference is that similar work has
been going on throughout all the de-
partments, and that if the record could
be obtained-a difficult thing to get
it would show a similar outrageous
state of facts. Here is a condensed
form of the list referred to:
j. d. Terrill, of Plymouth, Mich
Lost arm in Union service. First-class
man. Dismissed for no cause. Sue
eeeded by Confederate soldier from
Georgia.
DIR. Green, chief of pension DIVISION
One-armed soldier from New York.
Dismissed for political reasons only
Succeeded by an OutSpoken Confederate
i sympathiZer from Maryland.
b. s. Pike, chief of quartermaster'
division.-Union soldier from Massa-
chusetts. Dismissed without cause.
Succeeded by an ex-Confederate from
South Carolina.
r. j. Mitchell, fourth-class clerk
Captain in the Union army. Admitted
to have been the ablest man in the of
flee. Compiler of the last digest OF
Decisions" Dismissed without cause
Captain March, third-claSs clerk.-A
Union soldier from Ohio. Reduced tC
second-class clerkship without cause
John w. Babbitt, fourth-class clerk
lin the Union service from Michigan
Lost leg at Gettysburg. Has been i'll
the office over twenty-three years. Re
duced without cause.
This is only partial list of the
Union soldiers removed or reduced (iI
station and payl, without particle OF
cause, in one of the small departments
numbering only sixty employees in all
Veteran clerks as we'll as veteran sol
diers are ruthlessly driven out to make
room for Confederate soldiers and sym
pathiZers. 1t cannot be truthfully al
legged that they were incompetent, fol
they have been too long employed and
would necessarily be thoroughly ia.
miliar with the duties of their posi-.
tions. Neither faithful service on the
field or at the desk could save these
men from a discharge outright or a
humiliating reduction of position and
salary. They were simply in the way
of ex-rebels and traitors who were
urged for appointment, and under
| Cleveland and civil service reform they
had to get out. We give these facts
for the information of friends and
comrades of the old soldier, though
well knowing that in doing so we are
madly waving the bloody shirt.

GOVERNOR HILL of New York, on
Monday last, signed the bill abOlishing
hanging for all murders committed af-
ter January 1, 1889, and substituting
death by electricity therefor. The bill
consists of elaborate and carefully
drawn amendments to the code of
criminal procedure, providing that the
prisoner sentenced to death shall be
Immediately conveyed by the sheriff to
one of the state prisons and there kept
in solitary confinement until the day of
execution, to be visited only by officers
or by his relatives, physician, clergy
man or counsel. The court imposing
the sentence shall name merely the
week within which the execution is to
take place, the particular day within
such week being left to the discretion of
the principal officer of the prison. The
execution is required to be practically
private, only officials, clergyman, physi-
clans and limited number of citizens
being allowed to be present. After the
execution funeral services may be held
within the prison walls, and the body
shall be delivered into the custody of
relatives, if requested; otherwise, it
shall be decently inferred within the
prison grounds.
