Powderly, writing to the New York

perience Of dining with a man who
had nothing to eat but mush. "Be-
fore the last Presidential election {

On Monday the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections submitted
report on the Montana election
case. The conclusion reached by the
Committee is that Saunders and
Powers, the Republican Senators
from Montana, we're duly elected and
are entitled to seats in the United
States Senate. 1t would have been
contrary to precedent and matter Of
surprise had the Committee decided
to seat Maginnis and Clark, the
Democratic Senators.
During the Presidential campaign
OF 1888 a large number of the work
ingmen, the bone and sinew of the
country, were made to believe that
the election of Harrison meant plenty
Of work at high wages. Have their
anticipations been realized? Are the
lhboring men Of the country in any
better condition now than they were
in 1888? Have the promises of the
Republican leaders been fulfilled? If
these questions can be answered in
the affirmative, then the election Of
Harrison was good thing for tho
country. Let the tollers in the coal
and iron mines and the great manu-
factories of the East answer.

COUNTY SEAT WAR.
The Result of an Election Causes
Riot and Bloodshed.

News has been received of a terrible
shooting affair at johnson City, Blanco
county, Texas. For about fifteen
years there has been heated contro-
versy over the removal Of the county
seat from Blanco. located four miles
from the county line, to johnson City.
Five years ago an election was held to
make johnson City the county seat,
but it resulted in failure. Another
election to decide the question was
held Jan. goth last amid intense excite
ment. When it was known that 1t re-
suited in favor of johnson City, there
was clash and fight, in which pistols
were used. Ben Cage, prominent
business man o! Blanco. got into
difficulty with Leach Lloyd, a John
son City man, in which he shot Lloyd
through the right lung. Lloyd will
die. Shooting between the two fac
tions then became general and Deputy
Sheriff Crosby was wounded in the
thigh. the disturbance was finally
quelled and Cage, in charge OF the
officers and friends, was conveyed to
Blancu to prevent his being lynched.
A gentleman from johnson says in
tense excitement prcvailsin the county
and believes many men will be killed
before the affair ends.

FOR BALLOT REFORM
Gov. Albeit OF New Jersey Favors a
Change i'm Election Methods.

In his inaugural message sent to the
Legislature Governor Leon Abbett, OF
New Jersey, comes out strongly in
favor OF ballot reform system which
he strongly commends. 1t provides
for the registration OF every voter;
absolute secrecy of the ballot; exclu-
sively official ballot with the prohibit
ton Of the use of any other; the set
ting aside OF the election in any pre-
cinct whenever the courts shall be
satisfied that electors have, for any
reason, been deprived OF fair oppor-
'tunity to express their choice at the
ballot box; the right of nomination by
petition; limitation of the amount
which may be legally spent in or for
any election, and declaring the election
void should this amount be exceeded
by any candidate or any person acting
for or in his behalf; the publication by
every candidate of an itemized state
ment, under oath, of all moneys ex-
pended at such election by him or with
his knowledge, and failure so to do
rendering his election void.

FIRED AT BY A FANATIC
Attempted Murder of Bishop Whit
aker at Philadelphia.

During confirmation services ut st.
John Episcopal church, Jan. Goth, the
congregation was startled by the
actions OF an apparently demented
young man who arose from his seat in
the church, and pointing IA revolver at
Bishop Whitaker, who was taking
part in the services, fired. Immediate
ly there was great confusion, but it
was quickly seen that no harm resulted
from the shot. An officer took the
would murderer into custody. At
the station he gave his name as David
Alexander, of Philadelphia. He told
rambling story about receiving II
letter, which induced him 10 make the
attempt upon the bishops life. 1t
was learned later that Alexander is an
ardent prohibitionist, and Bishop
Whitaker's attitude on the liquorques-
ton having displeased him, he de-
termined to kill him. He resigned
his position in dry goods store re-
Gently. The prisoner stated that he
also was determined to remove Rev.
5. ID. Mcconnell, pastor OF St. Steph-
ems Episcopal church, whose attitude
on the liquor question was also dis
tasteful to him. IL Is evident that
Alexander's reason is unsettled The
surgeons examined the prisoner and
found him religious mOnomaniac
with homicidal tendencies. The magis-
trate committed Alexander for trial.

THE SEAL FISHERIES.
Secretary Window Presents His
Views.

6 Secretary Window, in respose to an
inquiry from Senator Frye, Chairman
OF the committee on commerce, has
written long letter opposing the
passage of the bill proposing to repeal
the law authorizing the leasing of the
Alaska seal fshe: IS and to place the
management and control of the bust
ness under the secretary OF the treas
ury. Secretary Window, after stating
the objections to go iernment control
and monopoly OF the fur seal business,
says in conclusion: 'sIn my judgment
any minor faults attendingthe contract
System can better be removed by in
creased vigilance OF administration
than by an abolition Of the system ITSELF
AMI the subst tuition OF a policy which
is open to object,on so many. and so
fundamental. In view of these self
evident difficulties the present system
commends itself to my judgment as the
wisest and best for the government to
adopt for the future. AS it now stands
absolute control and full supervision of
the conducs Of the sealing industry on
the islands and the protection of the
interests OF the government aud the
natives thereof is vested in the treas
ury department. The details OF this
part of the business the secretary Of
the treasury can manage and enforce.
but the management OF the sales OF
peltries e.ther in a home or foreign
market he cannot be reasonably asked
to assume. For these reasons believe
that neither the interests OF the gov
eminent nor of the natives on the is
lands would be subserved by the pas
sage of this bill"

A RUSSIAN MURDERER.
He Kills An Innocent Girl in Fit of
Anger.

Mary Petrikotsky, pretty, golden
haired girl of 10, was shot dead Jan.
%, in her brothers apartments, New
York, by John Popoff, handsome,
but dissolute Russian, aged So, who
boarded there and whose attentions
Miss Petrikotsky had rejected. Popoff
is said to belong TO wealthy family
in Moscow. Two years ago he receiv-
ed an inheritance, which he soon spent
in high living, and then fed to Ameri-
ca to avoid military service. He took
up his residence with the family OF j.
nj. Petrikotsky, and became smitten
with the charms of his hosts sister.
He forced his company upon her
though she told him that she wished
TO have nothing to do with man of
mis- habits: The day of the shooting
Popoff came in while Mrs. Pctrikotsky
and her brother Henry Jaknovitch,
and Mary were playing casino. Po-
pof's jealousy was aroused He drew
a revolver, and Mrs. Petrikotsky and
her two children fled screaming from
the room. Jaknovitch seized Popoffs
hand, but Popoff retained control Of
the weapon and told him he would
surely shoot him il he did not let go.
Jaknovitch let go his hold and Popof
quickly turned toward Mary. who had
calmly remained seated. He fired and
the bullet passed through the girls
temple. She fell on the floor and died
without sound. The murderer walk
ed into his room and apparently medi-
tated suicide, but delayed too long,
and policeman arrested! him while
he yet held the revolver in his hand.
Popoff manifested little emotion till
he was locked in the cell in the police
station, when he began to rave In
Russian, and u guard was placed over
him to see that he did himself no
harm.

Mrs. Maybrick's Chances For Par.
don.

Energetic sympathizers with Mrs.
May have for months been engng-
ed in collecting and inquiring into
some very material facts which were
suppressed at the trial. The new evil
dence, il is said, is OF the most impor-
tant character, and throws an entirely
new complexion upon the case. Should
it bear the test OF the careful examin-
alton which IL will necessarily receive
from the law officers OF the crown, IL
is said that Home Secretary Math-
thews will have no course open TO
him but to recommend the queen to grant
Mrs. Maybrick a free pardon. Mathews,
however, isnot very kindly disposed to-
ward the prisoner, MS Is evidenced by
the fact that he has refused the re-
quest OF the Baroness Won Rogue TO
be allowed to correspond with her
daughter ilore often than permitted
by the rules OF the prison.

A TEXAS TRAGEDY.
The Son ofthe Late Judge Terry Kill
ed and Two Others Wounded.

A tragedy was enacted in the court
house in Galveston, Texas, Jan. 21st,
in which Kyle Terry, son Of the late
Judge Terry, was instantly killed and
two men badly wounded. The killing
was the outcome Of the Fort Bend
trouble which resulted some time ago
in such "a bloody battle between the
citizens of Richmond. Some months
ago Terry, who was tax assessor Of
Fort Bend county and member OF
what is known as the Woodpecker
party, had difficulty with three Gibson
boys, all members Of the Jay Bird
party. One of the Gibson brothers
was killed by Terry. When the case
came up for trial Terry got change
of venue to Galveston county, as did
also Judge Parker, who is charged
with the murder OF negro woman
during the Richmond riot, which is
claimed was melted by him.
Shortly after 10 o'clock on the
morning of the 21st Kyle Terry, his
brother, Captain Terry, OF California,
Judge Parker, Judge Weston, DR.. Gale
and some others entered the court
house. AS Terry turned towards the
stairway a snot was fired, and Terry
fell dead. There was moments lull,
and then four or five shots were fired
from different directions. Judge
Weston, of Fort Bend county, and
Henry Pittle, Of Galveston, were Sc
riously wounded. Witnesses say that
three men were shooting. and name
one of them as Val. Gibson, who killed
Terry and whose brother Terry hat
killed, Dan Ragsdale and young
Mitchell, all "Jay Birds" After the
fighting six arrests were made, in
Guiding Val. Gibson. 1t was evident
the intention was to kill Weston and
Parker, as we'll as Terry, the two lat
ter because they were 'Woodpeckers. y

The Tenement aud the Dug Out.

The pleasures of the country, like
the joys OF heaven, are presented TO
the poor and wretched in over-popu-
lated cities by persons rich in faith
but destitute OF knowledge. They
think that any change would be for the
better. They do not know that life in
a tenement house, located on I'm alley,
is, after all, preferable to existence in
a dug-out which is seldom passed by
man. The frequent cry OF distress in
cities CRATES harshly on the ear but it
is like music when compared with the
roar OF the deadly cyclone. Rodney
