There are some crimes SO fearful, that
even to the mildest portion of meek hui
manity, no punishment that could be in
tlicted upon the perpetrator could satisfy
the demands of justice. Such a crime is
the murder Of Judge Wilson Lewis by
his son Sidney Lewis. Judge Lewis,
who has been risking his life in the at
tempt to establish law and order in the
southeastern portion of Kentucky. for
putting his own son under bond was
shot Ivy the miserable cur, who then
lacked the faint trace of decency which
should have impelled him to take his
own life after such an act, and spare the
state the disgrace of his trial.

The Worst Yet.

A Kansas man who has Just returned
from Washington brings the following
story: Shortly after Senator Cameron
voted against the force bill, Mr.. Quay
had occasion to q to the White house
with some of his Pennsylvania constitu-
entS to urge certain appointment. The
delegation was received with rigid for
mality by Mr. Harrison, who listened
with ill-concealed Impotence while Mr..
Quay stated the object Of the visit. Va
riOus objections were suggested by the
president against the proposed appoint
ment. until Mr. Quay lost all patience,
and turning sharply upon the president,
said:
Mr.. Harrison, who placed you in the
White house,
Il think replied the president, with
a sanctimOnious air aud deeply relig
ious intonation of voice, ''that / owe my
election as president to God.
"Well, that settles it" retorted Quay,
as he fioundered out Of the room.
On the way down town, the party hap
pened to meet Mr.. Ingersoll, and Quay
accosted him VITA the inquiry:
Bob, what do you think Harrison
says:"
well. how should know what Har-
rison says: What does he say, Quay
We'll, he says that God elected him
president"
"Oh, does he? Wei, YOU know | have
said good many mean things about
God, but I'll be id if l ever said any
thing as mean about Him as tina >" re-
piled InCersol.

A Damaging Imputatlon.

From the Newton Republican.
The trial of Col. Forsytbe for the al
legged misconduct in the Wounded Knee
fight, calls up the fact that the Jealous
rivalry which prolonged the civil war Is
still lurking in the army. There used to
be Union officers who derived more sat-
isfaction from comprising the defeat ana
removal of their commanders than could
have possibly come to them by the ami
hilation of all the southern forces. 1t
was on a remnant of this feeling that the
inquiry against Col. Forsythe was based.
He won a good fight, which greatly hurt
the officers who won nothing. 1t is a
satisfaction to record that he has been
exonerated and restored to his rank

The fight between the Quay Republi-
cans and Cameron Republicans, daily
grows hotter in Pennsylvania, and if
persisted in may end in disrupting the
party. The worst of it is that the quar-
rel is apparently without adequate cause.
Last Saturday night the Americas club
of Pittsburg, the principal Republican
organization IN western Pennsylvania.
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, The senior senator Of Pennsyl-
wanna has put himself on record rs being

placed him in the senate TO represent them
and not himself. aud II he cannot represent
the great commonwealth of PENNSYLVANIA
on this question, we would ask him to
resign.

Al About Corners.

According to custom in New York
banks, churches, drug stores and saloons
are the principal occupants of corners.
People IN Chicago try TO obtain a corner
on wheat. Philadelphia being located in
a corner of Pennsylvania. has selected
fifty of her corner citizens to manipulate
her one-cornered political machine, who
will try to corner the City hall, with all
OF its nice corners.
Bob Ingersoll believes he has a corner
on religion. but a corner of the obscure
net Of the devil IS gradually being drawn
over the bald space on his Uranium.
Railroad officials try to corner the
freights moved throughout the country.
while the president of one of our great
trunk lines used 10 occupy the corner Of
the organ loft in one of our large
churches, while waiting for the signal to
blow. he commenced to blow early in
life, and has never lost his grip.

\ KNOCK DOWN ARGUMENT.

Mr.. st. John, president of the Mercan-
tile bank of New York City, in his re-
cent testimony before the house coinage
committee, made argument that fairly
takes the wind out of the sails of the
bimeatlists opponents, who are con-
stantly rsiteratng that the free coinage
Of silver in this country will cause
foreign owners of silver to ship it here,
have it coined, then exchanged at our
banks for gold, and reshipped home.
SIR. ST. John asked why this proceed
ing had not occurred in India where the
minis have been open to the free coinage
of silver for numerous years:
To this simple knock down" question
nobody was able to reply; nor have we
heard any of his opponents make any
reply to il since. Until they are able TO
do so it will be wise on their part TO
maintain silence about their former
claims; by so doing the people will have
a greater respect for their opinions.
The point raised is the same as that
made in Mr. st. Johns letter that APP
peared in these columns last Sunday
morning. II is simply ungetoverable.
