THERE rs ROMANCELN CRIME
AS WE'LL AS VIRTUE.

John Sage, Of Marion, Ind, was ar.
rested Wednesday for a murder com.
United several years ago, for which
his divorced wife is now serving life
sentence at the reformatory at Indian.
apolis. Both were arrested soon after
the commission Of the crime. At the
trial Mrs. Sage confessed to have
drowned her little daughter, aged
three years, because the child stood in
the way Of her marriage with Sage.
The woman went to- prison for life,
and the man was exonerated. Re.
Gently Sage applied for divorce on
the ground that she was serving a life
sentence for murder, and it was grant
ed. Since then the divorced wife has
denounced Sage as murderer equally
as guilty as herself, and says he was
the sole instigator Of the crime. She
was recently taken before tho Black
ford county grand jury, and an indiot.
ment for murder in the first degree
was drawn on the strength of her tes.

THIRD PARTIES.

A broad guage train cann0t 90 run
on q narrow guagc track, and this is the
secret Of the failure Of third partyism.
The people Of the United States are
constructed on the broad guage plan
and third parties, based on one idea,
are narrow gauge tracks. Third par
ties are originated by cranks on one
idea. They dwell on one idea until it
becomes in their minds an issue, 1t is
submitted to the people, who are not
cranks and have not dwelt on one idea
till it has become an issue in their
minds, and, the people repudiatc It, or
at least fail to see IL in the light Of
those lamps. Accepting the correct
ness Of the knownothing idea, Of the
greenback idea,. of tho prohibition
idea, those would-be parties failed,
not necessarily because the ideas were
wrong, but because they wore one.
idead. A hundred grave questions Of
principle and policy are embraced in
the life Of nation, and the great
parties are great because they aggre-
gate and include many subjects, and
men divide on parties on broad guaged
principles, and to accept third party,
they are asked to abnegate and ignore
ninety-nine ideas, made part Of their
ideas Of government for the sake Of one.
This is impossible unless the idea is
o big and embracing one. 1t was done
once in this country, in the case Of the
abolition party, but that was an excep-
ton and:is susceptible Of explanation,
for in that case, sentiment and passion
were invoked, and the judgment Of q
nation was obscured by passion. In cool
and sober Judgment, no single idea can
win in American politics. In this
hight, prohibition and the single land
tax are dead, because they are single
ideas and not such ideas as are capa-
BILE Of arousing sentiment and passion
as was the case in the abolition party.
No offense is meant to those enthu-
siasts whom we have called cranks.
The crank is q wholesome factor at
times. He has more than once revolu.
tionized nations going to destruction or
dying with the dry rot and has been
the benefactor of his race or nation.
But the mistake must not be made
that because cranks have at times
been the saviors of nations that there
fore all cranks are public benefactors.
One ideaism may at times have saving
grace but not necessarily at all times.
It was not in knownothingism or in
greenbackism and it does not Reem to
be in prohibition. 1t may safely be
said that third parties are only feel
ers and the only true test Of them is
just such . test as shrewd Pharisee
Of the Bible proposed for the doctrines
and Oworks Of the new sect Of Chris.

Curious Accident.

Main street, two OF whom seemed to have
the third in custody. When in front of the
Sideboard the middle man broke loose and

while the third one called upon the officer
to arrest the fugitive, as he was a thief and

wounded man was taken co the City Jail,

the city limits; that the other was a
debtor, whom they supposed intended to

The House.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The opening OF
to-day's developments in the deadlock in
the House OF Representatives was marked
by a sharp passage at arms. The House
met in continuation OF the session OF
Wednesday, April 4.
Reed of Maine instantly demanded the
regular order.
Randall OF Pennsylvania asked unani-
nous consent to make statement, but
was shut off by shouts for the regular or
deI from the Republican side.
Cox Of New York moved to adjourn.
At the demand of Reed the yeas and
nays were ordered on this motion. The
House, by a vote OF 130 to 133, refused to
adjourn. This announcement was received
with loud cheers from the Republicans.
For a moment the Democrats were taken
aback, but Mcmillan. of Tennessee. soon
moved a call OF the House to compel the
attendance of absentees.
Reed attempted to make point OF order
against the motion, but the Speaker de-
the demand for the call was defeated
and on a standing vote the Democrats
suddenly changed tactics and voted
against their own motion in order
to allow another vote on adjournment
which was moved by Cox in the hope that
straggRers enough had come into the House
since the first vote to change the result.
yea and nay vote on his motion resulted
Yeas 14S; nays 137; so the House was de
clared adjourned. The Democrats wert
jubilant at the breaking OF the great dead
lock in its ninth day. The House adjourn

Two New Hotels in Butte Now Talked OF.

III there be one subject upon which the
people of Butte agree, it is that there
should at once be erected in the city the
much talked OF hotel, which will be com.
mensurate with the Importance OF the city
and with the needs OF the travelling public
But the much more vital question OF where
it shall be built, and who shall build it, is
still an open one. During the past three
years project after project has been mooted
and discussed, only to fall through when
the time for decisive action arrived. Still
there are those who will not despair, and
day after day new propositions are brought
forward. The latest OF these propositions
is to erect the hotel on the Owsley prep
erty, at the corner of Park and Main
streets, it being understood that the owner
is willing to place fair valuation upon the
site and take the entire amount in stock,
provided sufficient subscriptions OF stock
can be obtained to make the
building what it should be. The property
fronts 64 feet on Main street, 80 feet on the
alley in the rear, and has derth OF lao.
This is surely q good size, and but little
if any fault can be found with the loca-
tion.
There is another very loud whisper going
the rounds that upon the arrival OF Nelson
Bennett in Butte, which will be 10 a few
days, he and his firm will take the bull by
the horns ami start a baft rolling that VIII
in a very short time settle the hotel sub
iect. One thing is certain that if the
brothers decide to enter into the project
there will be no halt called until the pur-
pose is accomplished. In the meantime
there is room for all manner OF PROPOSE
tions, and parties interested can send them
altng.

When the Democratic Convention was
called last Thursday night there were two
canllidates nominated for Marshal, W. 81.
Smith and Hank Harrison. The fight was
close and the latter won by one vote. I'M
me,iiatoly split in the party was notice
able. The friends OF Smith were deter
mined to defeat Harrison. The elec-
tion came on and the knife was applied
freely and the Democratic ticket
literally slaughtered by it's own party. At
day or two before the election an effort was
made to harmonic the recalcitrants with
the majorits of the Democrats, but it was
not effective enough to keep them in the
traces. OF course the Republicans gloat
like byenas over the slaughter made by
Democrats in their own ranks, and they
stand on the street corners and boast
about what we did. They forget that the
present contention will teach the party to
harmonizc and organize for the fall CAM
paign, and their defeat will on'y spur them
I'D to greater energy and activity.
