The more or less esteemed Boston
Post rejoices because what it calls the
oligarchy of office holders has been over
thrown. This is undoubtedly the cause
of very much of the rejoicing among the
Democratic brethren. Yet there is re-
greet about it-regret that the oligarchy
is so small that the new oligarchy to be
erected upon its ruins will not be big
enough to accommodate more than one
in score of those Democrats who aspire
to become oligarchs.

A severe critic, not entirely in sympa-
thy with Curtis, pronounces Prue and
ssthe one book he ever wrote" Few OF
us, having the Nile Notes, the Potiphar
Papers, and Trumps, in mind, will sub
scribe to the dictum; though fewer still
will hesitate to put this book far above
his others, If the recent collection from
the Easy Chair be left out of the ac-
count Some of the, chapters are the
very flower and perfection of colloquial
English, and others, like the Cruise in
the FLYING Dutchman, rise to the loftiest
heights of imaginative literature. The
book is one of the most delightful in the
language; and through it all runs that
angelic message which Curtis was con-
tinually chanting from his heart, Be
peace on earth to men of gentle will.
The present edition, on paper rich as
clouted cream, and profusely illustrated
from drawings by Albert E. ward Steiner
Tin which Curtis's kindly, high-bred face
frequently appears) is luxurious, and
will appeal alike to the taste and the
heart of the lovers of that gentle spirit
which has just taken it's flight. (New

The Mugwumps of New York are in
state of mind now over the proposal to
make Edward Murphy, Jr. Mr.. Hills
colleague in the Senate. The New York
Times thinks such a selection will be a
disgrace to the State. Very likely. But
the Times and the Mugwumps assisted to
make this disgrace possible, and they
ought not to complain.

Jean Baptiste LIE Moyne, Sieur de
Bienville, who left this world in 1768,
was the first French Governor of Louisi-
ana and founder of New Orleans. To
the Makers of America Series Grace
King, whose Monsieur Motto left so
pleasant taste in the mouth of readers,
contributes a biographical sketch, ami
mated and vigorous in style and admira-
BILE in its preservation of proper histori-
cal perspective, of the soldierly and pic
turesque native of New France, whose
fortune it was to found great city at
the mouth of the Mississippi over which
the lilies foated until displaced by the
yellow flag of Spain. The author has
been fully awake to her picturesque op-
portunlties, and from material some
times scanty has made sketch of the

Two Wealthy Men kidnapped for Ran
som, Both damaging to Escape.
CLARKsBURG. W. Va, Feb. 15.-A report
has just reached here from St. George,
Tucker county, tat two men impersonat-
ing officers captured two wealthy citizens
whom they meant to hold 1or heavy ran
sons, but they were foiled by the escape Of
one victim while they were out alter the
other.
The first man captured was Thomas Var
ney, whom they charged with setting fire to
mill at Rowlesburg. They bound him with
a heavy rope and took him to shanty
about four miles in the mountains. where
they tied him to the floor. They then re-
turned to the village, and going to the
house of DR.. Harper, knowing it is sup
posed, that he was sick, pretended to arrest
him iorlthe same crime. Harper was too
feeble to resist. They forced him to get up,
and after binding him took him to their
mountain prison. Harper's weak condition
obiised them to so very slowly, and this
gave Varney time to loosen his bonds and
escape When his abductors arrived at the
the shanty and found Varncy gone they
were afraid he would alarm the authorities
and hastily fled, leaving Harper still bound
miles away rom his home. He finally re-
leased himself and found his way back to
town.

MURDEROU.S REDS
Alaska Indians Charged With

Miners.
The SaVages Remote From Civ

PoRr TOWNSEND, Wash, Special Telegram,
Feb. l5.-Advices from Alaska concerning
the fate OF Morris Orion and party of ten
miners indicate that the men have been
murdered by Indians or lost at sea trying
to cross the stormy waters from Cross Sound
to Yukitka. Searching parties have hunted
six weeks Tor the missing miners without
success, and the hope.oI recovering their
bodies has been abandoned.
Ortons party lett Lityua Bay for Juneau
in November, but were never heard from
again. Citizens Of Sitka organized and be-
sought Commander Maynard. of the war
ship Pinta, to go TO the rescue, it being
thought that the men We're lost in the
woods and in danger of starvation. May
nard refused to go. He said that his ship
was unseawortby, and the trip would only
endanger the lives Of his crew of fifty men,
He considered the missing men were be-
You'd human aid. Searching parties were
organinized and sailing vessel sent to
search for the lost miners. but no traces
were found. Recent hostile acts of the In
dams OF the neighborhood confirm the
Tears that the men were killed and robbed
by Indians and their bodies thrown into
the sea.
There is great deal of complaint that
Alaska has no laws and there are so few
whites there that the Indians cannot be
Kept IN subsection but are in many places
hostile, and human life is not safe amoug
them. The authorities in Alaska are too
lenlent, and numerous outrages committed
by Indians go unpunished. Settlers are
very much aroused since the attempt to
capture fishing vessel a month ago which
resulted in the death of the leader of the
Indians The country's wild and unsettled
condition makes it impossible to prevent
lawlessness, and as the whites increase in
numbers the Indians become jealous and
hoslilities become frequent.
