n. CLAY KING. and of which it was
the climax, but on account of the high
legal ability and literary attainments Of
the murderer himself. On March 10 Of
last year, at about the noon hour, King,
who had evidently been in waiting for
his victim, stepped from an alley into
crowded street, and fatally shot David
II. Poston, the wounded man expiring
the evening OF the same day.
Henry Clay Kings downfall can be
traced entirely to his allurement from
the path of honor by Mrs. Mary J. Pill
low. widow Of Gen. Gideon J. Pillow,
who distinguished himself in the Mexi-
can war, and who, during the siege of
Fort Donelson, declined the command
of the Confederate forces in favor of
Gen. Buckner, the officer who was COM
PEELED to capitulate In IA few days 10 the
victorious Grant.
When Col. King met Mrs. Pillow their
meeting was chance one, in the Or
dinary affairs of business, in his own
Office, and from that hour the great law
yer was her slave. Finding that con-
cealment Of the facts from the public
was impossible, he finally threw off tho
mask and went with the woman, openly
deserting his wife and children. 1t was
then that popular disapproval began to
manifest itself, and its effect upon
Kings business and personal associa-
tions was soon more than he could
stand. To escape an Indignation. daily

phis citizens, the Colonel. accomr anied
by his ensnarer, removed to his planta-

conventions our principles have been

Hon. Fred G. White of Iowa, is
from General Waver's district, known
as the Sixth Iowa. He is one Of the
ablcst new men in Congress, and his
opinion on men and things is espe-
cially valuable at the present time.
He fays:
A regard for actual facts rs they ex-
ist compels me to differ from those
who declare General Weaver to be a
weak candidate. He is responsible in
a larger degree than any man living
for the growth and present status OF
the third party move. He has spent
the best part of his life in expounding
its principles and spreading its gospel.
The man who calls Weaver a weak
stick, either does not know the man OF
doesn't mean to be fair. While We may
differ, and differ widely in our politi.
cal convictions, that ought not prevent
us from recognizing merit wherever il
may exist. Not only is he thoroughly

Do the plutocrats really desire an
inquest that shall go to the bottom of
controversy at Homestead? If SO,
what is Carnegie's title, and upon
what evidence does it rest? Thirty
years ago he was a penniless boy, and
to day he is reputed worth million
dollars for each and every one of these
years. These many millions repre-
sent the difference between what the
producer of his wares received for their
work and what the consumers paid for
them. His business had been legiti-
mate and desirable one, and all will
admit for him q reasonable and even
generous compensation; but to this
there is limit, and beyond that limit
all that has Eeen taken by him has
been an unjust and oppressive burden,
either upon the consumer who had
been charged too high, or upon the
producer who had been paid too low.
His legal title may not be successfully
contested, but his moral and equitable
title is questioned. No man can Justly
! acquire 81, 100000 year. If he gets
it. it is by methods similar to those by
. which bandits and pirates once got

by right. The Carnegie Company has

1t is the gold power that is fighting

the same reason that any other mon
arch would fight rival that was to be

now absolute monarch, and rules with
unfeeling tyranny; and the dominent

that this rule shall not be disturbed.
And, as in the case of most tyrants, the
people are less indebted to gold than

AN ARIsTocRATIC WEDDING.
The Brazilian Minister'S Daughter Married
to Chicago Gentleman.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-lSpecial. 1.-The most
season was celebrated this evening at the
residence of the Brazilian minister. Senior
Salvador de Mendonca, when his daughter,
Amelia de Mendonca, was married to Archi-
bald Mexican, of Chicago. The house of the
Legation was beautifully decorated with
flowers and with the rare works of art which
the Minister looks upon as his most precious
possessions. The company was in keeping
with the taste of the father of the bride, and
instead of the fashionable mob which might
have been expected, there was but a small
company of the most select of the art and
literary circles of the capital.
Remembering the standing of the Minister
in society and the customs usual in diplo-
matte swelldom, it was one of the most re-
marka BILE weddings that have ever occurred
