The drop from S50,0 to S3S6.5O was a little
too much for us.
NOT THE MAN.-Our horse editor, who is
an impetuous young journalist from the
east, published an item during our absence
last week which severely reflected ON the
social standing of our esteemed fellow
townsman, Captain John Tarbell The
item stated that he had skipped town to
avoid being arrested on an old warrant
charging him with killing "a man in Penn.
sylvania Our horse editor can't remem-
Der from whom he got his facts He is q
very energetic young man, and meets SC
many people in the course of the day that
he can't always stop to remember which
one related this or that item of news.
We now beg to humbly announce that a
great injustice was done the gallant cap.
tain He never killed a man in Pennsyl.
vania, and instead of jumping the town he
was playing poker in the Red Star saloon
when the paper was issued. He was all
ready to come to the Office and shoot our
horse editor when friends advised him &c
await our return. We are very sorry that
such an error should have crept into our
columns The captain bit a mans nose of
at Prescott three years ago, and he Killed
some sort of Indian or other over on the
Little Colorado river last fall, but he was
never in Pennsylvania in his life. We hope
this apology will be accepted in the spirit
rendered and place him right before the
public.
We are trying to give a sort of Twentieth
century flavor to our paper by employing
eastern journalists who happen along. but
we confess to being somewhat discouraged.
They don't exactly grasp the western situa-
ton with both hands. There is certain
chic to this climate only to be understood

a Peace fuI Revolution.
New York Press.

The election in Belgium yesterday was
the most important since the Belgians Sc
cured their independence go years sgo.
During the 60 years that have passed
since the capitalization of Antwerp, two
parties, the clericals and the liberals,
have contended for political control, and
the same parties met yesterday in an en-
counter to determine whether Belgium
should stand still or go forward in the
grand march of mankind toward high
er and purer civilization.
The Belgians have been a free people
only in name. The suffrage has been 30
restricted that only small minority had
voice in the affairs of government,
while the intelligent and industrious ma
jority were kept in a condition but little
removed from serfdom. Fortunately for
the peace of Belgium King Leopold is an
enlightened and liberal monarch. He
has softened, as much ss in his power,
the harsher features of the constitution,
which he was bound to obey. and he has
made the people feel that he was on the
popular side. The king has been po-
tent factor in bringing about the present
revolution in Belgian affairs.
1t was not without a struggle that the
oligarchy relaxed its grasp. Indeed. only
the resolute purpose of the king. on the
one hand, and the menacing attitude of
the people on the other, induced the ma
jority in the senate and chamber to con
cede to their fellow countrymen the privi-
lege Of adopting or rejecting radical re-
vision of the old constitution. II the lib
erals have, as reported. carried yesterday 8
election, the peaceful revolution is virtu-
ally accomplished. Certain forms yet re-
main before manhood and citizenship will
be the qualifications of suffrage, but lib
eral victory must substantially settle the
issue.
With France republic, England mon.
archy only in name, and the German en-
pire making rapid strides in the direction
Of popular government 1t would be q
shame for Belgium any longer to bear the
Anticipated yoke Of system framed in an
age when the people were regarded by
the rulers Of Europe as unfit for self gov
eminent, and when monsrchs and mobiles
still refused to accept the sublime and
simple truth expressed in the homelY
verse Of the Scottish poet, that.

The Editor COrrects wrong Statement
and Keeps Up His End.
DISASTROUS CoNFLA6RATIo - Friday
night at about II O'Clock we were aroused
from our SAUNDERS by the fearful cry of
"FireW uttered by a voice which evident
ly belonged to a baldhe AIDED, bowlegged,
cantankerous old critter. On reaching
the street we discovered the Office of our
contemporary in flames, while the alleged
editor thereof was dancing around on the
sidewalk and acting ike a crazT man.
The lurid tongues were lighting up the
heavens for miles around and the demon
of destruction was about to be let loose
on the town, when we found q pail Of wa
ter and dashed in and sluelched the ser
pent tongues forever. Inv estigation proved
that the alleged editor of the SO called
weekly started the conhal grafton by upset
ting lighted candle on his straw bed.
The damage was next day estimated by
an insurance agent at only $l.17, but it was
nevertheless disastrous fire and heavy
loss for plant worth only about four dol
lars, all told But for our prompt presence
and reckless disregard CT danger our es-
teemed would today be a beggar. His pa
per will probably come out next weel as
usual, though there is not the slightest
reason on earth why it should. We have
been severely criticised for putting out the
fire, and we feel that We owe the people
hereabout an abject apology.

THE St. Louis GlobesDemocrst, re-
publican, gives vent to its disgust, say
ing: The nomination of Whitelaw
Reid for vice-president is blunder of a
peculiarly serious and senseless kind. 1t
is concession to the Blaine faction of
the party which ought not to have been
made under any circumstances. The
antsgonlsm of the labor clement TO Mr.
Reid is pronounced and bitter, and
ought to have been taken into consider
alton by the delegates. There are many
Blaine men who would have been uuob-
jectionable from any point of view
Some of them would have strengthened
the ticket very materially. Mr.. Reid de-
cidedly and emphatically weakens the
ticket"

She sat on the piazza of her fathers man
sion just at sunset with a newspaper in heI
hand. She though 1t would look more
careless when Livingstone came up the
graveled walk-more as If she didn't
care a continental cooked hat whether he
came or not. And yet she did care. She
had learned to love the artist with his
dark hair and eyes of Al lampblack hue,
and that evening she was determined to
know her fate. The lower half of the
United States sun had dropped behind
Showers hill when she lowered her ewes to
the paper and read:

Livingstone, with his ardent smile and
patent leather shoes, but the hired man
starting for town to buy mackerel for
breakfast. She cast glance about her,
and then her doelille eyes sought the paper
again:

phcation. 1t has been used over forty years

She is not chain lightning reader. She
has been five minutes on the paragraph
when the old familiar step falls on her
