Canadian Iudian Child Sacrificed by

A Canadian Iudian Child Sacrificed by
Hunters.
WINNIPEG, Jan. Sword has reached
here from Edmonton that in June last
an Indian named Blue Horn lost the son
of an Indian named Crooked Legs while
hunting. Search was continued for the
boy for two months, but finally given
up. Recently a half breed, while hunt
ing, found the skeleton of child in a
standing position, the arms stretched
out and the wrists tied to two trees.
From circumstances surrounding the
affair it is thought that the skeleton is
that of the lost boy, who had been
offered as sacrifice to secure good luck
in hunting by some Indians by whom he
was found,

OHIO FALLING IN LINE.

Notwithstanding few Republican
politicians succeeded by one vote in
defeating the resolution favoring the
new party in che late Ohio conven-
tion, the various counties are srrang-
ing themselves one after another in
the ranks Of the new party in declar.
ing for an independent ticket. Ohio
will have an independent state ticket
in the field in due time, and John
Sherman will be called upon to fol-
low Mr.. Ingalls, into retirement.

THE House Of Representatives OF the late
Legislature preferred the charges against Judge
BOtkin, and the Senate, under the constitution
and the law. was bound to try him. There was
no other way out Of lt and the Senate had no
more to do with the expenses than has judge
OF the court and the jury after case has been
brought for trial. BOtkln was tried and &c
quilted on the evidence, the Senate sitting aS
sworn jurors to render q verdict under their
oath; and that is all there is to t,-El Dorado
Republican.
If Murdock had said Botkin was
tried and acquitted in defiance Of the
evidence by men who utterly disre-
garded their osths, he would have
come much nearer the truth than he
has in the above statement. What
does q blind partisan like Senator
Murdoch care for an oath when con-
formity to it would result in a con-
demnation Of one Of his party asso-
ciates?

Yes, and what a magnificent ex-
hibit we have made Of che Republi-

Investigations. II is not surprising

not proud Of the results of these In
vestigations.

ITs TEsTLMONY Is COMPETRNT.

The Capital, speaking Of the at
tempt on the part Of Democratic pa
pers to bring reproach upon the name
of Mr.. Wanamaker in consequence
of some supposed connection with
the Keystone bank in Philadelphia,
observes: "This species Of campaign
ing is Of the boomerang order"
There is no paper in America that
has had more experience in this line
than the Capital, and none therefore
better qualified to testify in such q
case. We are inclined to believe the
Capital for once is right.

NO COMMON GROUND AS TO THE NEW
PARTY AND DEMOCRACY


10 Is singular circumstance that In admitting
that the Peoples party win work In the interest
Of the Democracy In 1892, the Democratic organs
put 1t on the ground that the platform Of the new
party is essentially Democratic" and against
the principles OF the Republican party. 1t Is
hard to see what such a startling statement Is
based on, and In this perplexlty the people are
not relieved by any definite explanation from the
Democratic press as to how any particular plank
In the Peoples platform Is essentially Demo
cratic"
The Democratic party Is In for three things: A
reduction In the tariff on free trade lines, re-
ductlOn in pensions, and, II we may judge from
the letters and interviews of It's probable candi
date, Grover Cleveland, 1t Is for the single gold
standard.
The Peoples platform does not mention the
tariff. Jerry Simpson declares 1t Is in favor Of
abOlshing tariff for revenue and raising all
federal moneys by taxation of whisky and in
comes. This is radically opposed to Democratic
policy. AS to pensions, the only remark made
by the Peoples platform Is that the old
soldier should be recOmpensed by good money
for the bad mOney-queer that the new party
should admit that money can be bad-received
during the war. This, 30 far az 1t goes, Is con-
trary to the Democratic policy on pensions. In
the matter Of the currency the Peoples platform
expOstulates with Wall street against Grover
Cleveland's single standard and demands free
and unlimited coinage Of silver. Further than
that it insists upon adding land to gold and sill
YER as q money basis and upon the issue OF all
the money land owners may ask for, to be So
cured by land mortgages This Is essentially
contrary to Democratic principles and policy.
In every other demand made by the Peoples
platform, the purchase OF transportation facili-
ties of all kinds, OF which railroads are Ouly q
part, the building Of warehouses for holding
farm products on which the government shall
advance 80 per cent. Of the value, the Peoples
party is distinctly and irrecOncillably opposed TO
the Democracy.
The only apparent point Of sympathy between
the Democratic and Peoples parties Is In the
matter of the results. In the north the Repubh-
can party will be Injured II the new party lives,
while the south win be solid for the Democratic
party, as uSual.-TOpekG Capital.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.


The committee Of arrangements
has issued a poster for celebration
at Emporis, Kan. With the program
announced and the we'll known abili-
ty of Emporis to beat the world in
getting out crowd, it is unnecessary
to say more than merely to announce
that the people Of Lyon county have
resolved to celebrate. The speakers
engaged are Gen. J. B. Weaver, Of
Iowa, and Mrs. S. E. V. Emery, Of
Lansing, Mich. Further announce
ment would be superAous.
The advocate., 1891-06-17

puts il that there are at least seventy
American estates which average
$S5,OOOOOO each.
The present economic demands OF
the Peoples party would seek to strike
the ak at the root of the tree OF hurt
ful, oppressive and unjust accumula-
tions, and thus on a system OF just
laws, working from cause and effect,
would ethically consider the distrtb"-
tiOn rather than the redistribution OF
tCeGHb.
Andrew Carnegie parades himself
before the plain people OF the new
and of the old world, as one having
due authority to proclaim his deliver
ances to the masses of the people, and
he insists that the question before
the people of the United States at
this hour is, "Shsll we discard the
gold basis, or even endanger it?"
1t would seem impossible for him
not to know that gold Is themoney OF
monarchs, and when he says, "Pure,
unchangeable gold has ever been and
never was so much as now the best
instrument for the protection OF the
masses of the people," it stands as an
utterly unsupported averment and
unwittingly denied by him, when he
himself declares, 1T only performs
s per cent. of the exchanges of the
country; 80 per cent. of the business
is done with bits of paper, checks,
drafts"
What a fearful admission against
his loose assertions for this gold
bug, millionaire, iron baron and bene-
fcisry of the Mckinley act to finally
make!
The prophet Isaiah, in forecasting
the mission of the Messiah, de-
clared:
he was anOlnted to preach good tidings to the
poor; to proclaim release to the captiveS; to re-
cover sight to the blind; to set at liberty them
that are bruised, and to proclaim the acceptable
year OF the Lord.
Carnegie's boasted, self-righteous
"Gospel of Wealth." comprehends
nought of this; for in his Triumph
ant Democracy" he thus exalts one
who was in haste to get rich, in his
narration of "The Sleeping Car Mo-
nopoly"
Well do 1 remember, when clerk In the SER
vice of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, a
tall, spare, farmerlOOking man came to me once
when was sitting on the end seat Of the rear
car looking over the line, and wished me to look
at an invention he had made, which was small
model of q sleeping berth for railway cars. The
whole range of the discovery burst upon me like
flash, and said "Yes, that Is something
which this continent must have" promised to
address him upon the subject as soon as
had talked over the matter with my superior,
Thomas A. Scott. 1 could not get that blessed
sleeping car out OF my head. l laid it before Mr..
Scott, declaring that 1t was one Of the inventions
OF the age. Mr.. Scott saw 1t, and arrangements
were made to build two trial cars and run them
on the Pennsylvania railroad. 1 was offered an
interest In the venture, which Of course I 6 adly
