BLkCKMAILING.

Congress has in hand a bill for pun
ishing blackmailing. through the news
papers, and SO far a. we can see ii is a
good thing. Col. Oates Of Alabama
fathers the bill which provides for a fine
OF 81, 600 or Imprisonment at hard labor
for one year or less for any person who
"shall buy OF attempt 10 buy blackmail
on any other person by making or at
tempting 70 make any disclosure, injuri-
Gus to the character OF any person, for the
purpose OF obtaining money or other
benefit, or for the purpose Of ridicule or
revenge" The original draft OF the bill
is 20 be amended 80 as not 10 affect "reg-
ular newspaper correspondents" viii
not this provision span door big
enough FOR anyone TO get through, and
why should regular correspondents
be allowed TO? Are II .ir positions for
"ridicule end revenge" any more than
anyone? Blackmailing should be pun
ished, but in doing so it is difficult to es-
cape assailing that liberty of the pres:
which is dear to every American.

NO MORE PENSION FRAUDS.

The pension reform movement, now in
progress both within snd without Con-
gress, will be watched with great interest
by all friends OF decent economy in the
administration of the nations finances.
An organized body of ex-soldiers has
taken the matter up, and believes that it
can save the country at least s5o,OoO,OCO
annually.
Fifty millions is huge sum, and it
seems at first thought incredible that
spurious pension claims can absorb such Il
volume OF money. But when we pass In
review the great number Of cases detected
during he past year or two, and wheA we
contemplate the nature OF the thousands
of claims now being pressed for consider
alton, we Gnd small room for doubt.
There is "a clean steal" somewhere, and
the nations representatives,, united with
honest men everywhere, must ferret it
out.
No unworthy pensioners on the public
bounty! Cut them off at onc2!

TWISTING FACTS.

II would be hard TO find person in the
state who does not thoroughly understand
why the 5 O'clock bill was introduced into
the Legislature and why it was killed.
The Legislature is Republican by large
majority but il did not dare to pass the
measure. 1t was the last desperate at
tempt to hold the reins OF power and to
keep q Republican in the United States
Senate but il was too desperate to be sue
cessful.
The bill is now dead and at once the
great American twisters OF political facts
will begin TO earn their salaries. They
viii now begin 10 tell you that nothing
under the sun prevented he Democrats
from passing the law but the great g. o. p,
headed By that giant @. truth and politi-
cal purity, Ellcry Wilson OF East Provi-
dence.
When in the future the people point to
he attemp, TO d.stranchise them by clos
ing the polls while they were at work,
these twisters OF facts will proclaim that
the attempt was killed bya Republican
Senate, Just rs they now claim all the
credit Of passing the measures for the
extension Of suffrage, ten hours a day and
weekly payments.

Great are these twistersl

You're another is not an argument but
there is strong temptation to fling it at
every Republican who holds up his hands
in holy horror over the insistancc on their
election contests. To say nothing OF the
theft OF Presidency, and the barefaccd
under Tom Reed regime, the Republicans
would do well to keep in mind the theft,

Wanted a Dam Site.

PHOENIX, Ariz., April ia seri-
GUS shooting affray took place yester-
day afternoon at Dam Site, Rio
Verde, 20 miles from this city. Cap
tain John King two years ago To-
Gated Dam Site and claims he has
expended in the neighborhcod $4,000
improving and surveying the same.
Six months ago a company of
Minneapolis capitalists jumped the
claim and began series of improve
ments. They have been working
force of twenty-five or thirty men
since that time and have likewise
acquired title to about $4,000 acres
of land lying under the couteul-
plated reservoir. Yesterday King
ordered the party t" quit work at
the point of rifle, which they did.
The latter insisted upon them leav-
ing their camp and upon their refus.
ing fired several shots, Hone taking
effect. The camp cook, named
Crum, returned the fire, hitting
King in both legs. He was brought
to the city in a precarious condition
and it is thought he will die. Crum
is under arrest and it is likely a bit
ter feud will follow for the posses

Fo1LED BY THE POLICE.
A Husband Attempts to Poison
His Wife.

NEWARK, n. j.. April ll.-Frank
Damio who keeps saloon on Mar
ket street, was arrested late Saturday
night charged with attempting to
poison his wife and but for the
police he would have accomplished
his design. Early last week Superin-
tendant of Police Brown received
word from wholesale drug house
In New York that two men from
Newark had purchased five pounds
of arsenic. The salesman suspected
them, although they said the poison
was for manufacturing purposes.
Detectives met the men at the depot
and followed them to Damio's place
where they parted. Damio's COM
panion took the package to Waverly,
one of the suburbs of the city,
where he hid the arsenic in an un-
inhabited building. After he left
the officers took the package
to the police headquarters leav'
ing in its place similar package
containing tartar emetic. The
next day Danlio's companion
was seen to go to the package and
take out quantity of the supposed
poison, which he took to Damio's
place. There it was placed in a
bottle partly filed with whisky and
according to Damio's statement, the
men bet her 10 cents she could not
drink two glasses of 1t, She drank
the stuff aud was immediately
taken very sick. She says her hus-
band beats her every night, and she
has wound on her head which he
inflicted with knife. Damio denies
any intention of killing his wife and
his companion refuses to talk.

A BANQUET TO REID.
The American Minister to France
Highly Honored.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Ohio's
sons, resident in the empire city of
The republic gathered around dis
tinguished son of the Buckeye state
at Delmoncio's Saturday night and
fessted and made merry. 1t was an
assemblage, independent of party
affiliations, or options, which met to
honor Wbitelaw Reid, minister to
France and editor of the New York
Tribune, who has just returned from
Paris. There were $50 GU ests pres
ent. Mr.. Blaine was unable to at
tend the dinner. ID. o. Mills. Chas.
Dana, Geo. w. Childs, Warner
Miller, Chsuncey NJ, Depew, Charles
Foster, s. b. Elkins and many
other distinguished people were
present. Gen. Wagner Swayne
gave the greeting of the society to
Mr., Reid, and after q toast which
Fl tingly honored him, the latter
spoke feelingly Of his gratitude at
the welcome accorded him.
In the course Of his remarks, he
said
IA few years ago he had occasion,
in presenting gentlemen (recently
dropped from the senate, and who
described himself as dead states
manO, to point ont that he had in
him the material for an uncom-
monty live president. He had not
seen any necessity for apologizing
for any mistake made in the predic-
ton. Now it is said the other party
is looking for candidate. Hire is
the first president of the Ohio so
ciety ready at hand. A statesman
himself, and the son of statesman,
and, if for any reason that name,
Ewing, is not called, then, in the
language of my friend Mr.. Bennett,
would like to know why not Calvin
). Brice. Two states claim him,
and he is bright enough for the
whole forty.four, The Ohio man
continues to be prevalent. In the
present cabinet, for instance, out of
seven members four are from Ohio.
When these four vote together and
the president joins them, the rest of
the concern must feel lonely"
In closing, Mr.. Reid SAID he was
happy to have escaped in apparent
safety from public service, and made
heartfelt expression of most CRATE
full thanks.

A LYNCHING FEARED.
The Governor Orders Out Co. F,
o. N. G.,

BAKER CITY, April 11.-Latest
advices from West Fall, Malheur
county, say the killing of William
Humbert by Bailey Bros. was a
cold blooded murder, The trouble
began at the Democratic primaries,
held Saturday. The contest was
close and exciting. Considerable
whisky was consumed and bad blood
soon commenced to crop out. At
one time two of the contestants for
delegates were a tie, one being one
of the Bailey Bros, who intercepted
VIM. Hum bert, who attempted to
vote, hot words followed, and in a
few minutes Humbert started for
home. Shortly after one of the
Bailey boys said he had been cut on
the arm by Humbert. A brief con-
ference was held and one of the
gang suggested that it would be the
proper thing to overtake him and
kill him. Five of the number at
once mounted their horses and
started to carry out their murderous
threats. When Humbert had
arrived within a short distance from
his home he was Cvertaken by the
Bailey boys who were on swift
horses and, it is alleged they riddled
him with bullets. four shots taking
effect in the back. Humbert's little
daughter saw the shooting and ran
to her father, hut was too late to see
him alive. The excitement runs
high in that section and strong
threats of lynching are INDUCED in
by the cowboys. Sheriff Fell is
doing all in his power to protect the
prisoners and petitioned Cover
nor Pennoyer to detail Co. "F,"
o. N. G., of this city at once. A
telegram was received from the
governor ordering the militia to
depart Immediately.
If the cowboys, who are now
organized do not carry their threats
into execution before the militia
arrives, the murderers will be
escorted to this city for safe keeping.

Anarchists Fires.

VIENNA, April ll.-In cendiary
fires continue here but owing to the
extraordinary precautions of the
authorities little damage has been

anarchists, but 1t is believed many

similar state of affairs is reported at
