An elegant twelve foot shaft has
been erected over the grave of Writ W.
Walton at Clay Center. The K, G.
Gazette says: He was killed in a
railroad accident September 6, 1856.
The editor of the Gazette with others
spent Saturday night with him laying
out the independent campaign for
John A. Anderson. Writ was chair
man of the committee and all the
memoranda of the meeting he had with
him, and it was our disagreeable duty
to take the soiled and stained papers
from his pockets and finish his task.
He had mania for riding on the loco
motive and getting on he had travelled
but three miles when the locomotive
tumbled over, going at thirty miles an
hour, from a spreading track. He was
scalded to death. He was a very
bright and promising man.

WASHINGTON, June johannes A.
Finlay, Indian trader at Pine Ridge
agency, has not yet been removed, but
undoubtedly will be. The charges, the
details of which are not yet made pub

of Indian affairs and no definite action
will be had until fully examined While
the officials of the Indian bureau are
somewhat reticent, enough is learned
to warrant the statement that the
charges involve gross immortality, Sc

The Farwell rain producing scheD e is to

The trial is to be made some place in the

FOUL PLAY HINTED AT.
Robert Ray Hamilton May Havo
Been Murdered.

CLEVELAND, o.. Nov. ia wealthy
merchant of this city, Ralph Worthing-
ton, has just returned from a hunting
expedition in the vicinity of Jacksou's
lake, Wyoming, with three nephews of
Andrew Carnegie. He made care
full inquiries there concerning the
cause of Robert Ray Hamiton's
death. spending few days in
Hamilton's lodge. now occupied by Sar-
gent, the dead New Workers. quasi part
ner. He is of the opinion that Hamil-
toms death was due to foul play and not
to accident. When the body was eX-
humed water grass was found enIangled
in the spurs. Mr.. Worthngton says
that the ford in Snake river where the
accident is said to have occurred is paved
with white boulderS. and that there is
no sign of water grass in the river for
some distance from it.
The depth of water III the ford is only
fifteen inches. on all average, and a
horse can easily wade on either side,
fifty feet away. The guides aud hunt
ers there told Mr.. Worthington that it
would be folly to try to ride from the
ford to Hamilton'S lodge after nightfaIl,
and that Hamilton well knew the danger
and was Injured to camping in the open
air. The members of the Mormon colony
of ReXburg, near Jackson's lake. told
Mr.. WOrthington that they had good
reasons to believe that Hamilton met

KECIPRoClTY,s REWARD.

There is every indication that the
Administrations ambition is about to be
realized. and that we are going TO have
closer relations as nation with Chilli
than we have ever had before. Our
ships are Off for Valparaiso, and we are
not only transporting commodities
there. but even some of our own citizens
have been instructed to prepare for
more or less protracted sojourn in the
neighborhOod of orr dear sister repub-
lie. 1t is very probable, also that, CHILEAN
ships will be headed for the United
States, laden with commodities, and
even with men equipped for visit to
our ports and harb0rS. This is reel
procity OF even more noteworthy sort
than the most enthusiastic advocates of
tins modern fake have dared TO hope
for. They expected that the ships of
the two countries would pass each other
OH the high sea, bound for each others
borders. but who would have predicted
that so Sooa there would have been an
interchange Of men as well? Intimate
association with the South American
states is indeed a very desirable thing
for our national prosperity, aud it looks
as though we should have an oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with one
of them such as we have not known since
the fOrties, when WINFIELD SCOTT and
ZACHARY TAYLOR went on a trip to the
City:of Mexico. JAMES G. BLAINE is the
man who has done all this for US. Great
is JAMES G.. BLAINE. Let us elect him
president.
If we are really about 10 exchange
cannon shots with Chilli, instead of sacks
of flour for the output OF her mines,
right or wrong we stand together for
the honor of our common country, no
matter under what party banner we
fight. But is it not proper to ask what
is become of the Pan-American con-
greSs. of the carefully worded addresses
of welcome, of the reciprocity adjunct
which was to temper the excuses of the
MCKINLEY bill, of the treaties which
were to enrich our merchants with lie W
fields for sale and purchase? We are
all ready to shoulder muSkets even for
the vindicatiOn of the political wisdom
and discretion of PAT EGAN. But is it
inconsistent with patriotism to inquire
what substance there is to the admins
tration's claim that it was about to open
unknown markets for the products of
our farms and looms? We have had
three years of Blaineism, and many
rockets have been exploded and blue
lights burned, after his peculiar style
of craftsmanship. But what is there
to show for it? Does it promise large
profits if we exchange our pork and cot
ton for the paper money of the Argen-
tine Republic? Do we manufacture po-
litical revolutions in any of our facto-
ries? If we do, perhaps we could dis
pose Of a few in Brazil, but for anything
else there is no active demand reported
from that unhappy country. The only
state with which we have established
intimate relations is Chill. and from
them there may come glory to our flag,
but there will come no gold to our eof-
ferS. Nothing will further the expan-
sion of our national wealth like a lingo
policy. and no man understands Jingo-
ism better than JAMES q. BLAINE.
Let us elect him president on a reel
prOcity platform.
