A MYsTERIoUs HOMICIDE.

SPOKANE FALLS, June ga very
mysterious homicide occurred in the out :
skirts of this city at 10 o'clock to-night.
At that hour Peter M. johnson, a Dane,
25 years of age, accompanied by John
Robinson and George Peterson, fellow
countrymen, were vending their way to
their cabin On the outskirts of the city.
Johnson's companions, who were walking
one on each side of him were suddenly
startled by hearing shot fired. At the
same instant johnson fell with bullet
hole in the forehead. Death was lnstan :
taneOus. Two men were seen to run off in
the darkness at the time the shot was
fred, but could not be found later. As
johnson is q stranger in the city the sup
position is that the shot was fred by some
one under the influence of liquor, and
that it hit Johnson bv accident. at Md
night the police had made no arrests.

DEMOCRATIC PROTEST.

WASHINGTON, June 27.--The Northern
Democratic members of the house have
prepared formal protest against the
national election bill, which Is termed ian
extraordinary, dangerous and revolution
ary measure now proposed by the leaders
of the party in power" The protest
says.
If the power claimed by the majority
resides in the constitution, which we deny,
the republic has gone through difficulties
Of the formative period and made heroic
struggle against dissolution, and
triumphed and successfully readjusted
itself to the changed conditions without
the exercise of such q power By the
federal government for one hundred years
and over. The bill Is purely partisan
measure, intended primarily to control
the election to congress and the presiden-
tial election in all the states and to in.
timidate, hound aud obstruct and harass
by political prosecutions in unfriendly
hands, the adverse majorities in the cities
OF the North. 10 carry On this scheme OF
imperial government millions of dollars
will be taxed from our people and the
judiciary of the United States, pre- stituted
to the basest partisanship in the manage
ment of elections, and these invasions of
the liberties of our people will be left for
safety to partisan juries in federal courts,
composed entirely of men of the party in
power.
The protest appeals to American free
men without regard to party, to enter a
timely protest by the way of public meet
ings or otherwise, against this consolida-
tion of government and destruction of
popular rights, and the very foundation of
American liberty, as this vicious and un-
patriotic measure IS most serious menace
to the very life of the republic. The
issue IS: "Shall political party elect
itself and keep in power by paid agents
who are to control political elections in
all the states"

The farmers of Sherman county are in
high glee over the prospects for good
crops. Their hopes will undoubtedly be
realized unless, which is very unlikely,
the blighted east winds come along and
bnrn out the grain with their baleful
breath. Reports from differt parts of the
county are most favorable. We hear
that George Vinton, east of Grass Valley,
has an S0.acre tract of Little Club that
promises to return big crop. Owen
Thompson, in the Hay Canyon neighbor-
hood, has 40 acres of barley from which
big returns are expected. Rufus Moore,
of Erskinevllle, has piece of wheat
about 100 acres-which it would be hard
for any county to beat. Cap Moore, of
Erskineville, bas rs acres of wheat that
will yield fine crop. Abiel Ersklne has
90 acres of rye that will go tons to the
acre, and about 100 acres of fine looking
wheat, and Geo. Benadom has about so
acres that will do we'll, rain or no rain.
There are many others whose grain looks
just as well as that which we have men
toned.

MRS. MAVERICK MAY BE FREE.
LONDON, June 90 as many privileges
as possible are granted to Mrs. May brick,
now in prison at Woking. Her mother,
the Baroness Won Rogruet, was allowed
to remain with her for long time at her

daughter had an affecting meeting, and
the latter felt satisfied that she would vet

editorial on the late Senator Beck rs
follows:
The death Of such a man as he is
a loss to any country. 1t is a par
ticular loss at this time. The weight
OF his voice and OF his character on
the side OF silver would have been a
controlling force just at this present

WAIT NO LONGER.

Tho silver men in Congress seem
to be getting the question consider
ably mixed up, or rather allowing the
gold men to mix it up for them. New
bills are being introduced at a great
rate, and it appears to be impossible
for Congress to agree upon any one
Of ,hem and settle down to work. 1t
is very evident that the Secretary of
the Treasury proposes to dictate to
Congress what kind OF a measure
shall be adopted. What we
want is free coinage; who gives it to
us is n matter OF secondary Import
ance. Leave the party Issue out OF
the silver question and there will be
no trouble in handing to NJ. Harri-
son q free coinage measure for his
signature next week. We doubt il
Harrison would dare veto such a bill.
The people Of the Western States are
beginning to see where the demoneti-
cation of silver has hurt them and
they are starting in in dead earnest
to bring about FREQ coinage. From
the States OF Kansas and Nebraska
petitions have been sent to Congress
asking for free coinage. The Farm
ers' Alliance, a power in itself, de-
mands FREQ coinage; the Pacific Coast
and the South want it, and in vetoing
such a measure Harrison would sign
his death warrant politically. Should
he veto it we would at least know
where we stand, which would be
more than anybody knows now. In
the event Of u veto there would still
bs some hope left. 1t is claimed that
th%ree-fourths OF the members are in
favor of free coinage. 1t takes but a
two-thirds vote to pass n measure
over a veto, and that is what ought
