DEMOCRATS admit that Blaine's
defeat in 1884 was purely acciden-

Burchard. The Brainerd Journal,
Hon. H. c. Stiver's paper, says:
"Rev. DR.. Burchard, who defeated
Blaine in the memorable campaign
of 1884 by making a speech at a
Blaine reception in which he re-
ferred to the Democratic party of
rum, Romanism and rebellion,
died one day last week."

good policy for country editors to
eschew politics and print the news.
Politicians have precious little use
for country editors except about
election time. The alpha and

one word office. The outs want
to get in and the ms propose to
stay in. That's all there is in pol

WALLA wALLA, WASH. June 1O.-The grand
jury empaneled 10 investigate the lynching
of A. ]. Hunt by the soldiers on April 25th
has made report to the Superior Court.
1--WE found a true bill against only seven en-
listed men of the Fourth United States caval-
~, yet we are satisfied there are a number of
soldiers against whom insufficient evidence
has been procurable 10 warrant an indictment
that are equally guilty with those indicted:
There Is no doubt that Colonel Compton did
not believe his troops would make an attack
upon the county Jail, although the prose-
cutting attorney and sheriff interviewed him
regarding the reports which reached them
of q premeditated lynching of Hunt.
But the attack on the sheriff and prisoner
Hunt on the night before the lynching
and open defiance of commissioners sup
ported by the guard should have been sutti-
cient warning to him of what might be
expected. and that negligence existed IN not
taking ample precaution TO keep his men
under direct control. While precaution
would have prevented an outrage, in
justice to Colonel Compton we will state
since the lynching he has rendered the jury
all the aid within his power IN our inves-
cations We are also of the opinion
that the sheriff was taken by surprise and
was not prepared for defense, but
Mt Dc1ltNb lAdb IL 1nb oho1DA hoA
made proper resistance a general alarm
could have been sounded and IN all proba-
bility the mob would have dispersed without
gaining their object. We suggest that the
board of county commissioners prepare
a statement of expenses of which the
county has incurred and will incur on
account Of the outrage and present the same
as a claim against the United States Govern
ment. Since the relations must continue very
much strained between the enlisted men at
Fort Walla Walla and our citizens. we are of
the opinion that it would be wise and proper
that the troops of this fort be exchanged"

the Crime.

SAN Francisco, June 1O.-The Chronicle
states that a Treasury agent visited Mare
Island navy-yard last week and made certain
discoveries which indicate that a large
quantity of dutiable merchandise had been

Omaha arrived few weeks ago and
went TO Mare Island without being in
spected by customs officers. When the
Treasury agent visited the yard last week

silk gowns and costly bric-a-brac in the OFF,
cers' quarters Of the Omaha, amount
ing to several thousand dollars in
value. Many of the articles were in
closed in packages ready for shipment TO
various eastern points. IL is also said that the
entire consignment has been seized by the
customs authorities and submitted to the ap-
praiser at this port. One silk gown. 1T Is
claimed. has been appraised at nearly a
thousand dollars.
The Chronicle states that some Of the prin-
cipal officers Of the Omaha and one or two
officers Of the Swatara. which returned from
China several months ago. are concerned III
the smuggling. and that action is being taken
IN the matter by the Navy and Treasury De-
partments in Washington.
