A Desperate War.

WHEELING, W. Va, Oct,
29th. Lincoln county, or at
least that p,lrtofit around the
county seat, is now in q fer
mente ,fexcitlnentconcerning
the fearful tragedies enacted
within the borders of the
county Thursday night Of
last week. There is quite a
degree of interest manifested
to get the accurate details of
the double killing at Queen
Shoals on the above night.
Intelligence from that Sec
ton is meagre. but enough
is known to satisfy the most
credulOus that Green Mccoy
and Milt Hally were riddled
with bullets on the night in
question organized force
numbering sixty determined
men. The latest report re-
ceived, and from Il reliable
man who was detained sew
eral days, IL to the effect that
Mccoy and Haley implicated

the Bluefield tragedy, alleg-
ing that they, Mccoy and
Hatfield. we're hired to kill
little Al Brumfeld, and that
they received $500, or were
to, when the job was compile
ted. The attempt on little
AL and his wife is well known
and that theprogramme was
not fully carried out was be-
cnuse the Brumhld $ were too
hot on the tracks of the as
sassins. The report further
says that the result of these
disclosures has .brou,g h t
about open hostilities, and
thatthe entire district is ar
ruyed. either on one side or
the other, and they are con-
grega ting well armed and
the aspect isof a most threat

Haley and Mccoy are na-
tiveS of Kentucky, and are
allied to the Mccoy faction
Of outlaws whose mur,Ierous
feud with the HattipIds is
is generally familiar to the
public. Mccoy about a
month ago, in company with
Haley, ambushed and attemp
ted to murder AL Brumfeld
and his wife. This shooting
occurred on Il Sunday night,
and both the victims were
badly wounded, Mrs. Brum-
field being shot in the breast

Mccoy and Haley escaped
to Kentucky, but not until
there had been two more at

them to a tree a short dis,

FANATfCISM AND BITTERNESS.

We clipped last week a de-
liverance of the "Abe Patter-
son Grand Army Post y of
Pittsdurg, Pa. but failed to
note it editorially. tits these
bloody shirt performances
that disgusting and mean
and that react on the shah.
by fellows engaged in the dir
ty work. Such actions on the
part of the G. A. P's will be
sure to bring them into de-
served reproach, and to make
the Radical element in the
North still more detestable.
The Pittsburg bloody shirt
ers are lravlng mad over the
erection of a monument at
Gettysburg in memory ofthe
men who fell in that battle,
who belonged to the Second
Maryland Rebel Regiment"
as the Pitsburghers put it in
their fiery resolution. These
furious fellows declare that
they desire to enter their sol
emn protest against this sac
rilege, and most emphatical-
ly denounce any such intrri-
sion by traitors upon sacred
soil, ETC., etc.

York Evening Post says ol

The TwoC Camerons.


Don" Cameron is as cold
as ice, and when a visitor
has the rare good luck tn. sas
him he often wishes he l1udn't
been so successful. says the
New York Herald. The de-
ceased Cameron, who was
the friend and at times the
patron of Democrats and
Republicans..alike, conciliated
everybody with whom he
camein contact. Some, years
ago in Pennsylvania, Don,
who was beginning to run
things with the dynastic force
ofthe family, told his father
at Donegal one day: Pm
going to put my man in as
temporary as we'll as l,erna-
nent chairman Of the Repubs
lican State convention tU
morrow. "Don't do it,
said Simon. Why not con.
ciliate the other faction hy
letting their man go in ~
temporary chairman. IT,
can't do you any harm, and
when the time for real work
comes your man vii! go iH
gracefully" Don refused to
heed this sapient counsel,
and vowed he'd have both
places. "All right. said the
old gentlemon, "have your
own way. but if your man
gets licked don't come To me
for sympathv.' Don per-
sisted, and his candidate for,
permanent chairman did get
badly licked. "Don'' said
his father that night as they
took a glass Of wine togeth-
er; "Don, when you die you

on ac ountofthe effect which
| the publication might have
upon the financial and bust.
ness interests of the country.
The wholesale rprating order
which has just been rpcinded,
involves nntoldmillions, and
it isnot certain yet that the
present revenues of the Gov
ernment will BE- equal to the
demands created by that
sweep of Tanners pen. The
Secretary 0f the Treasury has
called attention to the enOr-
nous increase of expendi-
lures for pension allowances
beyond the estimates for the
year, and has clearly indirl-
ted that the existing income
of the Government can not
meet the drain upon it's re-
sources. = y y
"A statement has been l,re
p ,red i'll outline, intended to
show the extent.Of the mon
e. involved in Tanners rack-
! ssness. The amount is-plac
e ! not fnrfrom one hundred
millions, in addition to about
that sum now expended ON
pensions granted in accord
ance with some regard for
law and responsibility. 1t il
very evident from the tone OF
conversation that great I'M
easineSs exists in official cir
rles. a demand for more rev
enue with which to meet these
unexpected drains would ere
ute a pOpultrrpvultiOn which
would put Il stop to pension
legislation, If it did not wipe
out some of the radical fea-
lures of existing statues"
Up to this hour there has
been no attempt made to re-
cover the tens of millions
thus paid out by Tanner
paid out wicke'Ily, Illegally,
corruptly. The man now op-
Grating in Tanners place is
actually in possession of$6,-
600 he got through TANNER.
s. says the New York Times.
What a sinking kettle OF
fish! 1t says with etinging
appropriateness ana direct
ness:
"lf the President, and Sec-
retary Noble really desire to
make reparation for Tan
ner's reckless and unlawful
acts, they should find a less
Objectionable temporary sub
stitute for Tanner than the
chief beneficiary OF his "rera-
ting policy"
A decayed concern!

UTAH AND POLYGAMY.
For the DEMOCRAT:

For the DEMOCRAT:
1t was the intention ofour
Constitution not only to Sc
cure the greatest good to the
majority, but also to pro-
mote Justice and right, and
and repress wrong. Hlther-
to our senator's and represen
tatives have in the discharge
: Of their varied duties, shown
themselves equal to every e.
mergency, but one.
Whenever the Constitution
needed an amendment to
guarantee to our people
rights not already secured,
the Congress in it's wisdom
and patriotism atOnce made
the necessary provision, and
presented the amendment to
the people for ratification or
rejection. SLveral amend
ments have thus been, added
to the original Constitution;
and it seems to me that one
more is now badly needed. 1t
seems incredible that our
great Government has been
baffled and defied.so long by
one little territory, Utah.
With the requisite popula-
ton, she demands admission
as a state, and boldly claims
that she can not BE- refused
admission as the Constitu-
tion provides. Why may not
Congress at it's next session
add a clause to the Constitu-
ton prohibiting polyganly
in any state or territory, and
submit it to the people for
ratification?
This would not be leg'sla-
ting against any religious
sect or denomination, but on
" to check and suppress a
growing evil, whose tendency
is to destroy. virtue and bring
everlasting disgrace and ru-
in upon our country. The
sooner this matter is dealt
with, the better. 1t would
stop the immigration Of the
'hordes ofMormon proselytes
that are pouring into Utah
from Europe and other parts
OF the world, With their SEN
sual and develish doctrines
Of nihilism, infdelity and
hate for our Government.
Don't. admit Utah as q
state until polygamy is wi
ped out and provision made
to prevent the recurrence Of
q likeevil. j. S. HILL.

TANNERIsM.

Tannerism il but another
name for incompetency,
fraud, waste, scandal and dis
grace. Harrison appointed
the corporal to Office Know
ing all about his character.
He had been told just what
he might expect. Mr.. Frank
lin Woodruff, as we learn
from the New York Evening
Post, is oneof the mos, prom
inent Republicans in Brook
lyn. He told the President
"if he appointed Tanner, he
would disgrace the admins
tration inside of six months
50 whatever disgrace has be-
fallen the Radical BoOdl. Ad
ministration because OF Tan
nerism is to be laid at the
door of the partisan, weak
President Of the Republican
party. He deliberately chose
his tool with his eyes wide d:
pen, and after a thorough
revelation of the fellows char
acter hatl,been made. He de
liberately sinned against
light and knowledge when he
put this fellow in a position
to waste a great surplus and
bring an incurable scandal
upon himself.
Now this isnOt Democratic
lies and Democratic preju-
dice, but Il fact easily estab-
lished 1t is known in y ash
ington to the officials as well
as to the men on newspaper
row, that Tanner has spent
nearly or quite one hundred
million dollars by "rerating'
That is to say,
he has not only expended
the $S7, 100000 allowed by
the act of the Congress, but
he has added $780, 900, 900
to thatgreat sum by corrupt
means. Now is not that a
blistering disgrace and shame
