The Mountain Goat.

While engaged in hunt I tried to
learn something from the half breed
about these strange animals, but, al
though he had killed scores Of them,
he was SO uncommunicative that /
was given precious little information.
However, learned enough to know
that the race is nearly extinct, having
been hunted with great vigor on ac-
count of the hides by those who didn't
caro- for the sport, and also having
been pursued SO hard by genuine
sportsmen, who were carried away
with the delights of the chase. I had
formerly thought that they had these
big curving horns you have seen in
pictures, on which they alighted un-
harmed after springing from some
lofty height; but that's oil nonsense,
for their horns are small and sharp
pointed.
They are fearless, however, in rae
ing over the mountains, and make
some astonishing leaps and climb up
to seemingly inaccessible heights,
taking O sure foothold where it would
seem almost an impossibility for them
to stick. Altogether, / don't wonder
that there is so much Of an effort to
capture them.
By the way, learned that in the
Sawtooth Range another animal could
be found which is unknown except in
Europe-thc HEX. At least there is a
tradition to that effect, but l saw
none, and couldn't ascertain that any
had been killed; so after all it may be
q fable. -Chicogo Tribune.

Reform Will Move Forward.

The Civil Service reformers of lndi-
ana are setting up an extremely high
standard for General Harrison's ad-
ministration in the matter of official
patronage, fact which seems to GER
tain Eastern mugwumps an indication
that they are likely to be much disap-
pointed. 1t must be remembered that
the Indiana reformers who ask so
much have full confidence that they
will get what they expect They are
not captious enemies of the President
elect, but men who know him well and
supported him Loyalty. Their present
attitude only shows the confidence felt
by all who understand General Harri-
sons views and rigid adherence to
principle that during his term no
backward steps will be taken in the
great work of putting the business of
the Nation upon thoroughly bust
ness footing, while progress will doubt
less be made in many directions. The
Kansas men who visited Indianapolis
in the interest of Senator Plumb as an
aspirant for a Cabinet position went
away with the very clear impression
that CivilService reform was going
forward in the next four years and
not backward toward the old order of
things. They came to plead the cause
of man who is opposed to the nom
partisan Civil-Service system, and
their conclusions were very significant

the ballot-box. As the case now
stands, it is idle to look for an honest
election in the South. or for the pun
ishment of those who make honest
elections impossible. The people of
the North have right to insist that
such a state of affairs shall be cor
rected in the interest of good govern
ment and of political consistency and
decency. 1t is not as if these out
RACES were of a remote and indistinct
character. They are facts of to-day.
The evil stares us directly in the face,
and relates to the present safety and
success of our Institutions Nobody
asks that all the outrages of the past
shall be investigated and legislated
upon; but it is demanded that steps
shall be taken to put stop to the sys-
TEN of wrong and crime which now
exists, and which public sentiment in
the South condones and encourages.
The records of the last twelve months
alone are sufficient to justify positive
and stringent measures of relief. II
the South is not willing to provide the
required protection-and manifestly it
is not-then it is both the right and
the duty of Congress to assume con-
troll of the matter; and the country ex-
poets that course to be adopted at the
earliest opportunity. st Louis Globe

POLITICAL OUTRAGES.
The Duty of Congress to Provide Protec

The Duty of Congress to Provide Protec-
ton for Southern Republicans.
The next Congress will find it neces-
sary to give early and serious atten-
ton to the matter of political fraud
and crime in the South. 1t is undeni-
able that there is condition of things
in that respect which is at once both
National disgrace and Ma
tional danger. The assassination of
Colonel Clayton can not be regarded
as an accident or an exception; it is
simply one more scandalous and des-
perate outrage added to large number
OF similar and systematic acts designed
to promote the interests of the Dem
ocratic party at any cost of violated
law and repudiated rights of citizen
ship. A species of Generalization ex-
lists in that part of the country with
regard to elections and the suffrage
which is a constant menace to the
public peace and welfare. There may
have been a time when there was
some excuse for the lawless proceed
ings in question; but certainly that
time went by long ago. The war
ended so many years since that new
generation has grown UP from the
cradle to manhood; and yet these Of
lenses continue as if we had but just
emerged from that awful season of
passion and bloodshed. Nobody doubts
or disputes the facts. 1t has come to
be understood that such crimes are to
be expected; and in no instance has an
honest effort been ma& to bring the
guilty persons to justice.
There is way in which Congress
can provide reasonable protection for
all citizens so far, at least, as Federal
elections are concerned. The consti-
tuition gives ample authority for the
enactment of laws to secure fair and
clean elections, and to prevent crimes
against the sacredness and purity Of

day. Afterward Premier Tirard, NJ. Con-

Then NJ. Paul Deroulede. president of
the Patriotic League, and other leaders Of
that organization, were arrested and will
be prosecuted.
NJ. Deroulede and Deputies Laguerre and
Richard, members of the organization, are
charged with having by hostile acts, such
as the signing of the Atchinoff manifesto,
exposed the State to the danger Of a
declaration of war
The police took possession of tie offices

SENSATIONAL REPORT.
The Cherokee livestock Association Un-
der Grave Charges of Bribery.

der Grave Charges of Bribery.
WASHINGTON March 1.-Some rather
sensational documents have been sent in
! 10 the Senate by the Secretary of the In
terror. They were transmitted in response
| to Senator Stewards resolution asking for
information concerning alleged bribery Of
the Cherokee Council by representatives
of the Cherokee Strip Livestock Associa-
| tion. The papers transmitted include q
report by Robert l. Owen, Indian agent
at Muskogee, citing the alleged bribery.
| This report was made in a confidential
! letter addressed to the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs in April, 1881, and has
never been made public until now. 1t con-
! tains some very damaging charges against
various representatives of the Cherokee
Strip Livestock Association. and sworn
affidavits accompany the agents letter.
On the 11th of June, 1887, OWENS report,
with the affidavits, was transmitted to the
Secretary of the interior, Mr.. Lamar, by
Commissioner Atkins, and the letter of
transmittal is presented in the papers
sent to Congress. In closing this letter
Mr. Atkins, after citing the allegations Of
the report, says:
at is suggested that upon the case pre-
sented, the persons named have made
themselves liable to expulsion from the
Indian Territory, and to a criminal prose-
cution in the United States courts for
violation of section . 139 of the Revised
Statutes, relative to liquor traffic with
Indians"
In accordance with this suggestion the
Secretary replied, directing the expulsion
of these persons and the institution OF
criminal proceedings. With this view the
Id H.
Attorney General, and last June indict-
ments were found against several of the
parties implicated. The matter was hushed
up for a while. and it is not likely that it
would have been reopened but for Mr..
Stewards resolution. The facts are all
now made public for the first TIM, and
were it not for the coming change of Ad-
ministration, it is said, the Attorney
General would Immediately resume the
prosecution that was dropped. Major
John F. Lyons, who is mentioned
in Ovens report, is now in this
city, having been here most of the
winter opposing the passage Of
the Oklahoma bill. He believes
that the report made by Owen is a tissue
of faIsehoods, and that it was drawn for
the purpose of influencing the department.
against the Cherokee Strip Livestock As
sociatiCn. He further intimates that
Owen was interested in secur ing a lease
of the strip to the syndicate of Texas cat
tIemen referred to in the report, and that
at the time Owen was doing all in his
power to prevent the release to the Cher
okee Strip Livestock Association in order
that the Texans might secure it. The re-
port and accompanying documents have
created sensation, and it is stated that
Senators Stewart and Vest will demand
full investigation. These two Senators, it
is understood, have known of the facts for
some time, and finally, growing tired of
the lobbying OF the Cherokee representa-
tives against the Oklaho ma bill, deter
mined to bring the matter to light

BALTIMORE. Nd, March When Presi-
dent James p. Foster called the conven-
ton of the National League of Republican
Clubs to order shortly after noon yester-
day there was a goodly attendance of
delegates and Ford's Opera House pre-
sented a gala appearance. Mr.. Foster
briefly recited the reason for the holding
of the convention at this time and con-
graduated the league on the result of its
work last fall. He spoke of the rapid
growth of the league since its organiza-
ton and said that at the head of
the inaugural parade on Monday next
would be found banner on which would
be emblazoned the crest of the National
League of Republican Clubs. He COM
plimented the clubs of Maryland on their
work as evidenced by the additional Re-
publican Congressman credited to that
State. He gave statistics showing che
phenomenal growth of the league from
400 clubs at Chickering Hall In
December, 1887, to over 1000 clubs
at the present convention. The spirit of
harmony that had pervaded the work of
the party since the Chicago convention
was creditabie to the organized clubs, to
whose efforts much of President Harri-
sons success was due. He congratulated
the Republican party on the admission of
the four new States, claiming that they
belong TO the Republican ranks and would
be found there when needed. An allusion
to James G. Blaine as the next Secretary
of State was greeted with an outburst of
cheers.

was examining a new revolver which had
recently been purchased and p aced in the

was discharged, the ball passing through

The Murder of CLAYTON.

The motive of this crime is too
transparent to allow of its being passed
unnoticed by Congress. 1t casts a
lurid light upon the conditions under
which Southern Republicans have to
contend for their rights. There is no
justice in an Arkansas court for Re-
publican and no likelihood that the
Democrat who took Mr.. Clayton out
OF Mr.. Breckinridge's way, by the
short and easy method of assassina-
ton, will be punished. But the Fifty
first Congress owes a duty to itself
under the constitutional provision
which makes it a judge of the qualifi-
cations of its members. 1t is in its
power to see to it that the fruits of
this crime are not enjoyed As Mr..
Breckinridge's title rests first on fraud,
and secondarily on assassination, il
would be fitting that his seat should
be declared vacant-Leaven worth
