TIE Chicago Tribune says: All the
editorials of the democratic and mug.
Wump papers on the subject of the
recent reciprocity agreement with
Brazil read like editions of the play
of "11amlet" with Hamlet left out.
The topic is II which cannot be
ignored. 1t is emplaticaily the news
of the day. But in discussing it not
II of these papers mentions the
name of Mr.. Blaine, who was first to
propose the reciprocity policy, WHO
worked ut it for a year in the face of
obstacles which would of daunted
most men, and the fruits of whose
tolls the nation is now about to reap.
What is the reason for this studied
avoidance of all mention of Mr..
Blaine! One can understand this on
the part of the mugwump sheets.
They hate him with all the hatred
men bear to II whom they have in.
cured, but who has not injured them.
But that does not explain the course
of the democratic Journalists, for
instance, why the New York Herald
should speak of the president only in
its mention of the Brazilian treaty.
They must act as they do because
they dread the popularity of the man
and his measures and fear that it will
stand somehow in the way of success
of their party and of it's getting the
offices, which is all it cares for and
which is about the sole sufficient rea.
0 for its existence. But whatever
be the reason, this attitude of the
democratic and mugwump press
shows a shriveled.up and f%rost.bitten
small.mindedness which passes all
comprehension. Decent people every.
where agree that "the laborer is
worthy of his hire" and that it is
shabby, dirty conduct to defraud him
OF it. Yet the papers mentioned
above appear to have entered into a
general conspiracy to deprive Mr.
Blaine of that need of praise which is
his due from a grateful country. He
will get it, however, in spite of them

IT is claimed that the republican
party of South Dakota owes its re-
cent defeat in the election of u. s..
senator, largely, to the adverse effect
the party press had in hcaping
abuse upon the Independents. BE
this as it may, Rev. j. III. Kyle, WHO
was sent out from the east 10y the
Home Missionary society IL few years
ago to preach ut the little town of
Ipswich. on Il salary of $500, has been
elected by the Independents of South
Dakota and will go to Washington on
Il salary of $4,000. The lIomestake
Mining Co., the richest corporation in

Stevenson and Mission streets, who are not
overabundantly rich, and to whom the price of
irewoOd is some object, have been in the
habit for some time past of replenishing
their stock of firing by tearing down such of
the lumber that was easily detachable and
of which the row of six One-story old shan
ties standing on the corner of the two alleys
was composed.
The work of collecting this old irewood
was almost entirely undertaken by a
number of old women and young bows.
Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock tn ere
was quite party gathering up the wood in
two of the shantieS. One of the tw o build
ings was especially delapid0ted and so very
frail that a vigorous push would have
caused IT to collapse Not content with the
already loose boards the lirew0Od foragerS
were in the habit Of pulling down such
timbers as best suited them.
While a number of persons were thus en-
gagged in one Of the less frail buildings,
others, including a boy named George
0'C0nnOr, aged about 10 years, living at %
Anthony street, in the near vicinity, were
gathering up the loose wood in the most
tumble-dOWn aud unsafe building. They
were all busy and had collected quite a
respectable lot Of wood, when suddenly and
without the least warning the walls and
roof of the shanty they were in collapsed
and fell in and on them. The fall caused a
large cloud OF dust TO envelOp the building
and nothing could be seen OF those who
were in it,
A large crowd at once gathered, and the
opinion was freely expressed that all who
had been at work in the place must have
been killed by the crush of the falling tim
bers. When order was restored volunteers
in plenty soon were at work disengaging the
persons stricken down from The wreck. By
some miraculous good fortune the entire
party, consisting of three old women and
young OConnor, were found to have es-
capped with but minor injuries The boy,
WHO seemed the most hurt, was taken TO
the Receiving Hospital, where he gravely
informed the Police Surgeon, and truthfully
enough at that, that Though house had
fallen on him and he had taken tumble,
still he was not much hurt"
An examination proved that he had sus-
tanned some decorations of the head aud face,
besides bruises on the neck and shoulders.
lie was speedily treated and discharged.
1t is believed that the collapse of the
building was caused by the party in it at
tempting to pull up the foundation j0iSts.
