The L. S. troops have at last gotten
fight out of the poor Indians. Accord
ing to the dispatches, Big Foot advanced
with a white flag and proposed to sur
render. His band of $50 came out OF
their tents and sat on the ground in a
circle, surrounded by $500 troops.
With all this odds against them, the
improbable statement is made that the
Indians suddenly threw their hands 10
the ground and began firing. Then, ac-
cording to the official report, the troops
turned loose and in the fight which fol-
lowed showed no quarter to men, wo-
men nor children, all being either killed
or wounded. The whole thing reads
like a cold blooded slaughter and coward
" massacre. True, number of soldiers
and an officer or 50 were killed, but even
a worm will turn and anything will fight
when death seems the only alternate.

poisoned her four children and that she
was insane at the time The quadruple

Some food for reflection on heredity and

w. p. WALTON.

TIRE year opens with several important
political events on the chess board. New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Hamp-
shire, Kansas and several other States
are to elect u. S. Senators and great in
terest is manifested in the result. The
legislatures in the States named meet
from the 9TH to the 18th and upon them
the important duty will devolve. A
democrat will succeed Mr.. Evarts from
New York, but who will be the lucky
man is a matter of much speculation. In
Pennsylvania an effort is being made to
retire Don Cameron and the result is
watched with much interest, though it
is thought that the Senator is too strong
financially, il in no other way, to fail of
reelection. In Kansas ingalls, has his
coat off and is working like a Turk TO
keep the farmers alliance from putting
him in the soup. There is majority of
them and with the democrats they can
easily elect better man, but the irrides-
cent statesman has money and knows
how to use it to the best advantage with
the purchasable element, which unfor-
tunately abounds in the Kansas legisla-
ture. Ingalls, has bought his way be-
fore and knows just how to touch the
members who have an eye open to the
main chance. There ought not TO be any
doubt of democrats being elected in Hi
nois and New Hampshire, but the re-
publicans have the political machinery
and seem determined to thwart the will
Of the people. Illinois is, however, rea-
sonably sure to elect Gen. Palmer, but
Little Billy Chandler, whose auricular
is still out of shape from the pull that
Senator Blackburn gave it, is managing
New Hampshire and he is an adept az
stealing anything from the presidency
down. In the other States the majorities
are more than amply sufficient TO leave
no doubt of the election of democrats to
succeed republicans, and as the best men
are spoken of the result in any state OF
case will be satisfactory. Michigan and
Wisconsin. heretofore republican strong /
holds, will return democrats and that of /
itself would be glory enough for one
year, but from the fact that the demo
Gratis rose up in November and claimed |
and captured nearly the whole earth.
Nothing short of democratic president
and a democratic Senate, with their I
overwhelming democratic House will
now satisfy the people, who have de-
termined that republican men and meth
DDS shall no longer menace the welfare
OF their glorious country. The hand /
writing is on the wall The republican
party must go.

MuRAT HALsTEAD does not believe that

wish to be charged with lacking self-as-

to imply suggestion, not accomplish

seems to be right; at any rate, that is the

Germany and on his death bed confessed
that he and Lutz had murdered whole

the butchery. Detectives were sent ont

THESE are few republican senators
who are capable of rising above purely
partisan measures and they are making
it lively for Hoar, Edmunds and other
conspirators who have determined on
revolutionary rules TO pass their especial
hobby, the infamous Force bill. Mr..
Wolcotto, of Colorado. made a forcible
speech against the bill Tuesday, and his
colleage Teller, Steward, OF Nevada, and
Hale, of Maine, showed by their remarks
that they could be counted to vote with
the democrats againstit. There is con-
siderable doubt whether the republicans
can pass the bill or not and it is stated
that even should they be able to do so,
il will have hard road to travel to be-
come a law. II will have to go back to
the House and a republican quorum
must be present to send it to conference.
II il gets that far another snag will be
struck, an on the whole the prospects
of the conspirators are not rosy.
