House Bill No. 100, introduced by Mr..
HENDERSON, OF Iowa, amending the
present law against the transmission Of
indecent and improper matter through
the mails should have been rejected on
It's first reading. The law as it stands
to-day fully covers the ground, and Mr..
HENDEBsoN's amendments constituting
the PostoGice Department bureau Of
press censorship, is undemOcratic and
would place 10 the hands Of the Govern
ment powers which no civilized gov
eminent outside of Russia exercises.
There is no doubt much improper mat
ter and Objectionable advertisements are
transmitted through the mails in news
papers. But no reputable newspaper
will publish this sort Of matter, and 70
get at a comparatively few publications
Mr.. HENDERSON would subject the
whole press Of the country to
an autocratic censorship by the
Postofice Department which would
constitute every postmaster in
the land a detective to spy into and
automatically decide upon the right
OF the newspapers Of his locality to
use the mails-a power which care
lessly, ignorantly or spiteiully used, or
used by part.sans for political purposes
would work inestimable harm. 1t
would he a subversion Of government
By tie people and the rights of free
press.
The present law prohibits, as far es
a free government is warranted in
doing, Objectionable matter from the
mails whether in newspapers, or in 9TH
forms. Objectionable publications are
now denied the use Of the mails by law.
and the only remedy if the law is not
enforced is 10 be found in the courts
not in q press censorship on the Rus
sian plan.
Bill l2O should be defeated.

We REGRET to see the Democrat
ic majority in Congress putting its foot
in it by resolving 10 make the silver
question an issue in the coming cam
paign. Their action can accomplish
nothing under the sun in the way Of
silver legislation and will serve only to
obscure and complieate the vital issue
in which the people are most concerned
and which would bring certain Demo
cratic success at the polls-the tariff.
The Democratic party seems to have a
special aptitude for disregarding its
own political self when it gets into
power. This is not the way to win sue
cess against a willy and powerful foe
which is INSCRIPTIONS, watchiul and
quick totake advantage OF 5lGuder.
Gue only way out Of the difficulty now
is 20 defeat the silver bill when it comes

"I've not been hunting for you,
but I'll make it very warm for any
one who told you so if you will let
me know who it is. There's no
hard feeling on my part, | assure
you. On the contrary, I hold you
in high respect and esteem. You
wrote nothing about me but what
was true and deserved, and l ad-
mire a man who is brave enough to
say publicly what he thinks about
a character like me-"
The desperate was so manifestly
sincere that Dan released his hand
and withdrew his stiletto and apol-
ogized for his uncalledfor behavior.
"You needn't apologize" said
Peel. "You pursued exactly the
right course for one who has to
deal with me ordinarily. You got
the drop on me-something no man
ever did before. 1 respect you
more than ever for it. Come and
take drink with me-. 1 want you
to believe Pm your fast friend"
And the friendship thus strangely
formed remained unbroken until
Farmer Peel met his death at the
hands of his old partner, Johnny
Bull, in Montana.

indianapolis News.
The northwest has two senatorial
fighters. These are men whose
lives have been spent in the wild
est parts of the frontier and who
have grown strong with fighting
among the Indians and despera-
does. l refer to Senator George
Shoup, of Idaho, and Senator Will
bur F. Sanders, of Montana. Shoup
is tall, straight, broadshouldered,
blue-eyed man. There is no hair
on the top of his head, and he has
not even scalp lock. He lost his
hair naturally, however, and he
has had a number of scrapes where
he might have lost it from the In
dians. Born in the east, he started
out for Pixies Peak when he was
twenty-five years old, and during
the war he was one of the indepen-
dent scouts of the Colorado volun-
teers. A large part of his career
during the war was as a scout, and
he has been connected with all the
Indians and the desperadoes of the
west. He is now at the head of the
Indian affairs committee, and he
has been governor of Idaho and
left the executive chair to take his
seat in the senate.
Senator Sanders is noted as hav-
ing rid Montana Of the noted gang
of ruffians that which overran the
northwest some years ago. He was
at the head of the vigilantes and
has a number of times looked
death in the face. He has made
many speech in his state with
his pistol in his pocket, and while
he was speaking pistols have come
out before his eyes in the hands of
his audience. During the rebel
lion he was in the army a soldier
from Ohio, and it was through fail
ing health that he had to resign
and 60 west. In the camp where
he settled there was a band of
southern sympathizers, and these
undertook to haul down the stars
and stripes from the flag pole in the
public square with the idea of rails
ing the stars and bars. As they
caught hold of the rope, Sanders,
who was standing near by, pulled
out a revolver and said to them:
"No one shall haul that flag down
while 1 live" The mob looked at
the flag and then at the revolver,
and into the eyes of the determined
young man who held it, and they
decided to let the flag stand.

How Dan De guile Settled a Little
Difficulty With Farmer Peel.
A STILETTO AT HIS THROAT
Has a Soothing Effect Upon the Bad
Man of Virginia City Beginning Of
Friendship.


For the information of those VIII
do not know Dan De guile person
ally it may not be out Of place t.
state that he is, as Sir Ector sait
of Launcelot, "the meekest maj
and the gentlest that ever ate II
hall among ladies'" Quaker ances
try is crowned in him by sweet
ness of disposition native to him
self. His manner is as mild as q
parsons, his voice as soft as 9
woman's, his look placid as
saints. Nothing can ruff1e his
temper. He is as alien to strife as
lamb. If there were a diving
rod that had the power to point out
the most upright, inoffensive and
blameless man living, the chances
are that after sweeping the whole
world over it would settle upon Dan
De guile.
Yet his gentleness does not pre-
vent him from feeling just indigna-
ton at whatever he believes to be
wrong, and, happily, with his mild
qualities is combined a courage
that inspires him to deal out CEN
sure unsparingly when he thinks
it is deserved. While local editor
of the Territorial Enterprise in the
rough times Of Virginia City he
had many experiences that tested
his nerve, but none that proved
more. conclusively the metal of
which he was made than the one
about to be narrated.
Ofall the desperadoes who gained
for the territory Of Nevada the dis
tinction of the bloodiest of bloody
grounds, none other, with the pos
sible exception of Sam Brown, ever
attained to the same pitch of emf
nence as Farmer Peel. He came
to Virginia City from Salt Lake
with a record of five murders
Within a few years he had added
as many more to his score, and his
comparative youth and vigor prom
ised Il long continuance of the har-
vest. He was singular character.
When sober he was as mild
and pleasant gentleman as one
would desire to meet, but when in
liquor he was demon. But, drunk
or sober, his instinct was to kill.
Not that he was quarrelsome, but
he bore the perilous title of "chief,"
and had had to defend it against
all corners and he was studiously
careful that no one should get the
drop on him. Thus, when Ell
Dorado Johnny, little Irishman
who made pretensions to being a
bad man, arrived at Virginia City
and incidentally inquired in Pat
Lynch's saloon if there were any
"chiefs" about
''You probably intend that re-
mark for me-" said Farmer Peel,
who CHANGED to be within hearing.
ANY one can Appropriate it that
l kes," replied Johnny.
Very well; we will settle it
right now," rejoined Peel. "Come
out into the middle of the street."
The guileless Johnny did as pro-
posed, but Peel paused at the door
way and as his rival turned to see
if he were following fired shot
that stretched him dead in bis
tracks.
fe,l was never punished for any
of these murders. In fact he was
never arrested for them. They
were confined to class that the
authorities probably considered the
more killed of them the better. At
any rate they did not appear anx-
ious to NEEDLE with him. But one
