DOUBLE MURDER.
Dispute Which Ended in the Killing of
Man and Wife.


BIINNEAPOLIs, Feb. 10.-A special from
Winnipeg says: A terrible double muir
der occurred near Miomi station, $50
miles from here, on Saturday. Particu-
lars are meagre, owing to the Interrupt
ton of train service. John Morton and
his wife were both shot by Morton's
father. The murderer was 95 years old,
and only recently went to live with his
son and daughter-in-law.
The son was 80 years old. The son
was absent from home, and the old man
and daughter-in-law had some dispute,
which ended in the woman being struck
with stick of wood. When the hus-
band came home the wife told him what
had occurred. He asked his father why
he did it. aud the old man replied: ''Do
you see that rifle" pointing to one hang
ing up. Take it and shoot me or will
shoot you. The son paid no attention
and went into another room. The old
man took down the rifle, went out, and.
aiming through the window, shot his
son through the heart. Two witnesses
of the murder ran for assistance, and
during their absence the old man reload

To Ask for Eight Hours.

Many of the leaders of the movement
think that when the time comes to ask
for eight hours, the employers will not
openly refuse their request, but that they
will decline to recognize any labor or
ganization, and, as on other occasions,
decide to deal with individuals only.
If this course is taken strike is probable.
The American Federation of Labor is
prepared in case of strike to pay every
striker $40 week, it is said, no matter
how long the strike lasts.

Boston, Feb. 10.-The eight-hour la
Dor movement took definite shape in
Boston yesterday when the building
trades associate .ons voted to demand re-
duction in the hours of labor as pro-
posed by the American Federation of
Labor at its recent convention. That
a strong demand for eight hours is
to be made among the different trades
next May there is no doubt. Whether il
will result in a gigantic strike or whether
the employers will meet their men half
way and try to arrange matters satisfac-
torily cannot be foreshadowed at pres
ent. Every preparation for the outcome
is being made by the several labor or
ganizations, and especially in the build
ing trades. These are stronger finan-
cially and numerically than ever before.

EVERY duty, even the least, involves
the whole principle of obedience; and
little duties make the will dutiful, that
it is supple and prompt to obey. Little
obediences lead into great. The daily

discipline; it trains the will, heart and
conscience. The commonest life may
be full of perfection. The duties of
home are discipline for the ministries
of Heaven.

THE instant the head is laid on the
pillow is that in which conscience deliv-
ers its DEGREES. If it has conceived any
evil design, it is surrounded with thorns.
The softest down is hard under the head
of the wicked. In order to be happy,
one must be on good terms with ones
pillow, for the nightly reproaches it can
make must be heard; yet it is never so
delicious, so tranquil, as after a day on
which one has performed some good act,
or when one is conscious of having spent
it in some useful or substantial employ
ment.

Great Consideration for Negroes.

The regard which the democrats of
Louisiana have for the rights of the
colored people is exhibited in their
consideration of the great lottery swim
die now claiming the attention of the
whole country.
The bill is submitted in the form of
an amendment to the state cOnstitu-
ton, and has to be voted on by the
people at the next state election, April,
1892. Before that time, however, and
this is the company's plan agreed upon,
a primary election is to be held on some
day not yet agreed upon, at which only
lpbiteS shall vote on the question of &C
cepting the lottery company's offer. If
a majority favors the proposition, the
ants are to withdraw all opposition
and let the amendment go through in
1892. If a majority is against it, the
lottery company will withdraw its offer
and leave the state when its charter
expires.
And yet our democratic friends in
Kansas tell us there is no discrimina-
tion against the cOlored man in cleo
tons in southern statesl

The Agricultural Situation.

The statistics prepared by the de-
partment of agriculture relative to the
growing crops do not show the most
favorable conditions throughout the
country. While the acreage of spring
wheat has somewhat increased, the
average condition only stands at 91.3
The state which shows the largest in
crease of acreage is Minnesota, where
the figures as compared MI... ' Se''
are lis, Colorado ITO, Nebraska 10Y
while the Dakotas fall behind last
years average, the figures being but s5.
This Is largely made up in the barley
crop, however, as the Dakotas show ND
with lS9, with Kansas a good second
with $50, and in the east Maine makes
showing of lis. The average condi-
ton Of this crop, though, is low, being
only 1914. The best condition is shown
by Michigan, where it is 81, while the
poorest is in Missouri, where it is 50.
The largest increase of acreage in the
oat crop is found in Maine, where it is
ITO, while the least is in Kentucky, it
being 80. The condition of the crop is
not excellent, the general average be-
ing S9.S, with the best-in Connecticut,
SO, and the lowest in Georgia, 20.
Kansas shows the largest increase in
acreage in clover, ITO, and Vermont
suffers reduction of area as compared |
with last year, the figures being 80,
The average condition is 95.1, with the /
highest in New York, SO, and the low
sst in Vermont, 81. Many other states,
ike Connecticut, Maryland, Alabama,
Kentucky and West Virginia, show as
equally good percentage as New York
n the condition of the clover crop.
Fruit is not good anywhere in the
country, peaches showing particu-
arly low condition.

During the past year a number OF
democratic conventions and one or two
democratic legislatures have discovered
that the popular thing to do was to
advocate ballot reform, and they have
made loud professions. Now they
have an opportunity to support a ma
tional ballot reform law which promises
to do away with much corruption at
the ballot box. Not one of them is in
favor of the law. The true democratic
idea of ballot reform means provision
for fraud at elections. No other sort
of reform can have the support of that
party.

Assistant Democrats.

The sO-called prohibitionists of Kan
sas have met and, as was seen in the
dispatches of last nights REFLECTOR,
nominated state ticket. The Law
renee Tribune-Journal has a comment
on the actions of these assistant demo-
Gratis that is so much to the point that
we quote in full:
$40 the republican party the prohi-
bitioniSts have appealed to assist them
in every undertaking. To that party
they have looked for help, and so far
as the state of Kansas is concerned
they have never appealed in vain. The
republican party of Kansas has given
them prohibition and has retained it
for them, is unfolding it today and will
fight for it to the end. Not one in ten
of the democrats is in favor of prohibit
ton, and it is a part of their policy to
fight the cause.
with a full knowledge Of these
facts, knowing that as distinct party
in the state they can cut no figure.
knowing that whatever is done for the
cause must be done by the republican
party. these professional howlers sneak
off and nominate state ticket in order
to, # possible, defeat the party upon
which they rely for assistance and for
TIE purpose of slaughtering the best
and only friends the cause they pretend
to advocate ever Lad,
1--WE like to give every man credit
for honest intentions, but in this case
the intentions of the prohibitionists are
either dishonest, or the men who NOM
mated the ticket should be examined
by probate court and a jury in order
to ascertain if they are incurable or if
there is yet hope if they be sent to an
insane asylum. Year after year this
party Of 'holier-than-thou' men and
women nominate their ticket for the
sole purpose of drawing votes from the
republican party; year after year they
come crying to the republican party for
assistance that is always
ready. In return these canting hypo-
critics plunge the knife into the repub.
lican party at every opportunity.
Already the prohibitionists, by de- |
ieating a republican president, have
on the original package de-
;ision, and now they are appealing to
he republican party for help to rid the
country of that. By their work they
nee gave Kansas a democratic gov

lation democratic president; by their
