MONGOLIAN THUGS.
A Murderous League Revived in San
Francisco.

Posters are distributed throughout China
town, San Francisco, Cal, calling for a
meeting of the League of Heaven and Earth.
The existence of this league was only known
to its members and the issue of the call for
the meeting caused much surprise among
many of the residents of Chinatown. The
league is said to be a powerful one. 1t was
originally formed in China to bring about the
overthrow of the Tartar dynasty and has
been prescribed in that country since the
Tapping rebellion. The objects of this
league like the Highbinders' societies, is
blackmaiI and vengeance Its victims are
completely removed, no trace of them being
left to serve as a clew. Within the last six
months half dozen Cinnamon have mysteri-
ously disappeared and it is believed their re-
moyal was ordered by the league
Not the slightest clew to their where

AT THE WHIPPING POST.
Thirteen Lashes Laid Upon Wife
Beater's Back.

John Eisenburger, who was sentenced at
Baltimore, Nd, to thirteen lashes and term
of thirty days in Jail for brutally beating
his wife, has been introduced to the whipping
post.
Eisenburger was brought out from his cell
clad in only trousers and shirt. The latter
was removed, and Eisenburger was forced
against the crosslike post with his back ex-
posed. His legs We're fastened to the post
and his arms were stretched along the cross
piece, his hands being fastened one to eacn
end, thus stretching his skin and rendering
it more susceptible to the lash.
The preliminaries were quickly arranged,
and Deputy Sheriff Roseman, mounting the
platform and raising his arm slightly aloft,
brought down the lash with a sharp quick
movement upon the bare back. A great long
welt showed where it had fallen. Eisenbur-
ger WINGED, gritted his teeth, and then set
himself to receive the other twelve lashes
They fell at short, regular intervals of about
one second each until the bakers dozen or
dered by the court had been administered.
Eisenburger endured the ordeal without a
murmur, never opening his mouth through
out the whipping. There were thirteen fresh
welts across his back, which were rather
CORY looking, the blood having spurted from
the places where the ends of the cat struck
and broke the skin.

SHIP AND STEAMER SUNK.
Many Lives Lost OFF the Newfound-

The transatlantic steamer Geographic, of
the Bossiere Line, Captain Pausset COM
manding, bound from Montreal to South
ampton, England, with cattle, sheep and
cargo of general merchandise, collided with
the Nova Scotian sailing vessel Minnie Swift
forty miles off st. Pierre, Newfoundland, at
2 o'clock in the morning.
The Minnie Swift sunk within two minutes,
drowning, as nearly as can be ascertained,
two women, three children and ten men.
The others, with part of the crew of Norwe-
gian vessel who had previously been picked
up, got on board the steamer, which, des-
pite all efforts, also sunk.
Two boats containing about thirty-five
persons, which put off from the steamer ear
" in the morning, were missing. The third
boat, with the captain and fifteen Others
was picked up by the schooner Sister Bell,
and taken to st. Pierre.

The candidacy of congressman

Democratic gubernatorIal nomination in

Campbell's chances have taken such
sudden boom is stated by the correspon.
dent of the virtuous Mugwump sheet to
be "that Mr.. Campbell has made a sue.

SOME of the Democratic and Muewum,

SOME of the Democratic and Mugwump
papers which hope to see the Prohibi-
ton party kept alive for the sole purpose
of drawing strength from the Republi-
cans, are sneering at the Presbytetians
because IN the late general assembly
they ended their resolutions in favor OF
all means that will tend to suppress the
liquor traffic, with the statement that Its
action therein was "not to be construed
as the advocacy of any political party"
What ground there is in this for the
studied sneers of such papers as the
New York Times must be left for them
10 decide. The sensible portion of the
public recognizes that the great religious
body did exactly the right thing. 1t
could not afford to overlook the evils OF
the liquor traffic. Still less could it af.
ford to forget its object as religious
meeting and turn itself into a political
body. If therefore wisely declared for
principle and left its members to seek
its attainment as they might think best.
1t would be much to the credit of other
religious organizations and an aid to the
cause of real temperance reform if they
would follow as sensible course on the
liquor problem.

THE New York Press has been urging

ing department of that state to supervise
the Western farm mortgage companies,

Gated the Press says:
Within the last few years the Western
farm mortgage business has grown to
wonderful proportions, and it should be
conducted on basis of safety to people
of moderate means. The managers Of
the savings banks of New Hampshire
have, to their discredit, invested in these
Western farm mortgages and bonds moi
less than 25 per cent. of the deposits
which the laborers of that thrifty State
have placed in their hands. This indie
feasible action has been taken professed
ly for the purpose of gaining high rate
Of interest. In the eagerness TO pay
large dividends, safety of investment
which should be the sacred duty of the
treasurers of savings banks-has beer
thrown to the winds. Moreover, the
legislature of Massachusetts has passed 6
bill forbidding its trust companies to in
vest in such loans, either in the form o
mortgages or bonds. Unquestionably
many of these debenture bonds are safe
but some of them are not gllt-edged Sc
curitIes; in fact, their assets rest upon {
very slender basis. There is no doub
that some of the companies doing bust
ness in the East are in very unsatisfac
| tory condition.

great Sioux Reservation of $4,000, 0OC
acres in Dakota will soon be thrown OPP

this addition to the homestead lands is
hardly realized by the statement ofthe
figures. 1t will afford a farm of 16C
acres to each of 70, 900 families, compris-
ing $4,000 of population. The territory
thus thrown open is comparatively
small part of Dakota, it is true, but it ia
as large as the states of Massachusetts

THE Boston Herald has been SUBMIT
ing series of questions to Massachu-
sets statesmen on the use of "money in
politics." The replies were very inter-
esting, and none was more so than that
received from Ex-Governor John d.
Long. In his answer to the query,
"What is necessary to be done to have
our political campaigns become cam
paigns of reason?" he writes the follow
ing on the influence ofthe daily news
paper:
"The press is already the most eff
cient element in our political campaign,
1t reaches thousands where the plat
form reaches only few. 1t has always
seemed to me that the responsibility of
the press in American politics is of the
highest, and should be glad to see a
public sentiment which would encour-
age those who manage the press to main
tain the high standard of argument and
advocacy which am sure they them
selves prefer. Our people are reading
people, and their reading is practically
the newspaper. There is no other
agency which can be made SO usefully
powerful in shaping political opinion. 1t
has been favorite notion of mine for
some years that it would be well to
spend less money in holding political
meetings and more in articles in news
papers and in their broadcast distribu-
ton throughout the community. /
should like to see every day copy of a
well-conducted paper on the side of my
party put into the hands of every voter
in the commonwealth. Public meetings
are of great value occasionally, but the
constant, steady dripping of the news.
| paper is of marvellous influence. think
the time will come when the political
managers will adopt the plan 1 have
suggested. 1t is plan which involves
plain, straightforward appeals to the
reason, and which would reach the in.
teligence of every citizen in the quiet Of
his own home"
This testimony from man of affairs
who has at the same time 30 wide a rep
utation as a statesman and scholar
should have great weight with all those
/ who have at heart the interests of good
government.

AT the dinner recently given Grover
Cleveland by the young mems Demo
cratic club in New York it appears that
Dave b. Hill, prospective candidate for

treated with all the respect the governor

related that in the midst of a carefully
prepared speech he was constantly In
terrupted bv shrieks of "Ratsp' "Come
of, Dave!" "Give us a rest!" and the
like. OF course this was very CALLING, espe.
cially in the presence of the great plaud-
its showered upon Grover. But Hill
should not forget that it was only few
weeks ago that his Tammany adherents
showed their bad breeding by refusing
to salute the President of the United
States as he reviewed the centennial pa
rade. The New York Democrat is a
hard lot, and there Is very small prefer
ence among the three or four different

THE st. Paul Globe of Wednesday con-
tanned pathetic statement anent the
prospective removal of assistant Com
missioner Todd to make room for editor
Dearth, of LeSueur. 1t was pretty well
understood that the election of Governor
Merriam last fall meant that there
would be more or less of change about
in the various state departments, and
those who had been warming the chairs
for several years back had no reason to
expect that their tenure of Office would
continue. The Governor has however
moved very slowly and judiciously, and
by recent showing is proved to be con.
siderable of civil service reformer.
There was no earthly reason, however
for expecting that Governor Merriam
would be tender with those officials who
while they ought to have been attend
ing to their duties spent all their energ'
les to defeat his nomination, using the
meanest means at hand for that pur.
pose, including the writing of newspaper
articles, which the Governor says were
so bitter that some newspapers would
not insert them. In view of this, we
can't see what ground Mr.. Todd has fol
running to Democratic paper to pour
out his grief at his prospective decapita
ton. Mr.. Dearth is an earnest Repub.
lican, did good journalistic work for the
success of the ticket last fail, and is fully
qualified to fill the position the Governor
proposes to give him. To be sure, it il
affectingly told that the old deputy hal
been retained long enough to get out TIT
annual report and "break in" the new
been drawing his salary right along s,
that the Globe will recognize that Mr.
Todd has only been doing his duty il
that particular.

EDITOR HUNT, of the Mankato FREE
PRESS, and Editor Heatwole, of the
Mortified, NeaUs, played no lnconsider-
able parts in national and state politics
last year. Both are hard workers and
good workers, but if appearances are not
deceiving they might just as well have
set still and let things slide, vulgarly
speaking. Both seem somewhat soured.
Mr.. Hunt wanted to be sixth auditor of
the treasury at Washington, but will not
get it. He had the backing of Secretary
Window, Congressman Lind, Dunnell
and others; but he supported Sabin
against Washburn for the U. s. senate,
and Window was against Sabin and for
Washburn. Dunnell owed Sabin MOTH
ing, and Washburn was elected and Sa-
bins enemy, Window, was in the cabi-
net. And Gov. Merriam was undoubt-
eddy DESTROYS OF seeing Mr.. Hunts de-
sires gratified, but the latter supported
Sabin, who was defeated, and opposed
Washburn, who was elected, which
and-Gov. Merriam is playing for Sec
Heatwole's case is somewhat different
He has said all along that he wanted
nothing for himself, and his name has
been connected with no position, but he
seems to have little or no influence with
the powers that be. He also supported
Sabin and opposed Washburn. Other.
wise the points named in connection
with Mr.. Hunt apply to Mr.. Heatwole
Both gentlemen should remember
another fact. The great body of Mime
sofa Republicans wanted Blaine fol
President, but Gresham delegates were
sent to Chicago. Harrison was nomina
ted, and by the Blaine element, anC
elected, and Blaine was the one great
power that elected him-and Blaine il
in the cabinet. 1t is fair to presume
that the Blaine element in Minnesots
has some influence with the a6ministra
ton. 1t moved too late and too slow
and was beaten by an organized and i'm
petuous minority, mails u arriuer tout d.
meme.
To Bro. Chapman, of the st. James
Journal, and others who have been late
ly diagnosing the case of "Hunt, of Man
kato," we would say, that while we ap
preciate their kindly feelings, we are al
right, not bit "soured' as stated, ant
still have faith in the success of the Har
rison administration, and ready 10 worl
