Peerless cutter. Then they took all the

loss is estimated at betweenSSOO andS1 900
There are great many speculatlons as
to who are the guilty parties. Some say
the whisky ring, others say the democrats
wanted to get rid of the only republican
paper in the county; while it is further
rumored that several of Mr.. Roots hired
men quit him yesterday, and he refused
to pay them and they took this mode
for revenge. Mr.. Roots ire is raised
to the highest pitch this morning. and if
his midnight visitors are caught, he will
see that their postoffice address will be

Bismarck on the Back Track.


II Prince Bismarck has made up his
mind to allow the Samoans to take popu-
lar vote for king, unin0uenced by foreign
powers, the way to a solution of the con-
troversy is open According to the dis
patches, Germany and England lave al
ready agreed to leave the natives free to
choose Malietoa, Tomasese or Mataafa. In
that case the downfall of Tamasese is prac-
tic ally certain, and the first great step
toward justice and peace will be gained.
This plan of free election was
once before assented to by both Great
Britain and Germany. But instead
Of carrying out this plan the Germans over
threw Malietoa by force, and have since by
force maintained Tamasese In his place,
without at all consulting native wishes. If
they are now content to take the back track
and allow popular suffrage, certainly our
country can not complain. Those people
who were afraid that appointing Mr.. Bates
a commissioner to Berlin, and securing also
the benefit of Mr. Sewalls knowledge Of
Samoan affairs by making him dsbursing
agent OF the Commission, would danger
ously enrage the German Chancellor may
be somewhat nonplused at these pacific
tidings.

removed were valuable employees, and a.
fast as practicable they are being restored
to their old places; but all the changes oi

THE MERRY WAR.

The war between the poetesses of passion
has gone away out to San Francisco,
where Mrs. Gertrude Atherton used to
live, and San Francisco Examiner repor-
ter interviewed Mrs. Atherton's dress-maker
in regard to the language employed by
Mrs. Wilcox in referring to her eX-friend's
physical charms. In her letter TO Mrs.
Atherton Mrs. Wilcox said:
''Had revealed myself as freely in full
dress when you called as you revealed your
self when called, your meagre charms Of
body might have been abashed before my
more generous ones, and my "mouse col
ored tints," as you must know, could be-
come lovely golden by calling in the aid
OF the hair bleacher,"
The dressmaker, in speaking about this
matter, said:

CoNFEDERATE HOMES.
