DEAR SEYMOUR" AND THE "rHAR-

DEAR SENMOI "" AND THE "fHAk-
I>EE"
The Clarion of Saturday morning
winces perceptibly under the question
propounded by last weeks LEADER
whether the policy being pursued Ivy
that journal and Private John Allen in
abusing Frank Burkitt and comparing
him to Amcs is designed to mcite pc
litical assassination. We didn't ask
that question because we believed
either the Clarion editor or Mr.. Allen
would deliberately suggest or cOnnlve
at any such horrible or diScrcditabic
act. but to challenge their serious con
sidcration to what may possibly, yea,
probably will. result if the spirit OF
abuse. villifcation and intolerance
which they have displayed is persisted
in. 1t was probably not the deliberate
purpose of the Democratic leaders and
newspapers of Georgia to have Gen.
Weaver rotten cgEcd and his wife in
suited. but the policy of SANDER, abuse,
and intolerance which characterized
their uttcranccs beforehand. melted Il
lot of hoodlums to commit that I'm
speakable outrage and disgrace their
State and the South. Judging the flu
turc toy the past. it is not Improbable
that we still have one or more Demo
cratic GitcauS or worse than Gitcaus
in Mississippi
The great Am of the Clarion says
on certain conditions whic' he names,
to-wit: That the editor of the LEADER
will give up slandcrand tly-blowing"
he will guarantee Burkitt n Co.
against harm in any row not of their
own provoking" We will here and
now eolpmnly agree to that. if the edi-
tor of the Clarion himself will set the
example.

The Democrats are likely TO lose
Alabama in the Presidential election
as a result of the outrageous frauds
committed by the party machine in
the late State election. Honest men
won't stand it.
All latter day "Pharisees" are not
Prohibitionists or Peoples party men.

the republican party which vas
brought about on Saturday at the
meeting of the republican central com
mittee by Ex-Governor Warmoth head
ing party of boilers from the meet
ing is, If anything, wider than ever
The opposition To Collector Warmoth
is due TO his alleged attempt to dom
mate the party in the state and to run
things To suit himself notwithstand-
ing the claims made by other leaders
for recognition His opponents have
declared against one-man power and
seem determined to relegate him to pri-
vatc life. The anti-Warmoth faction
is composed of those opposed TO the
present policy of the administration.
This faction is led by Ex-Governor Kel-
logg, and now constitutes the regular
republican party OF the state. it has
not as yet been decided upon TO put a
state ticket in the field. That matter
will be settled when the state conyen-
ton meets in Janua-y, and in the pres
cnt disrupted condition of the demo-
cratic party in the state IL is safe To
predict that an anti -Warmoth ticket
will be put up Warmoth is supported
by General w. s. Badger. General Me-
MILAN and others holding appoint

Warmoth faction will hold a conven-

upon putting out ticket, thus making

INDIAN SOLDIERS AT OMAHA.
fifty Sioux Braves March la with Their
squaws.

SquRws.
OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 20 Fifty Sioux
Indians, in charge of Lieutenant Pick
erinS, with ten squaws and a number
of papooses arrived at Fort Omaha last
evening from Pine Ridge rs enlisted
men in Company /, Second infantry.
The government makes great con-
cessions in order TO enlist Indians as
soldiers, twenty squaws being allowed
to a company.
Nobody at Fort Omaha appears to
have been officially notified that the
sqnaws and papooses are to be pro-
vided for, but it is stated that they
will of course be obliged to live out
side of the fort like thew ives of white
men.
There are new tenants on the parade
ground at Fort Omaha, and the chill
dren of the officers have something AS
interesting as the zigzaggest of zigzag
adventures right at hand.
An Indian village has taken upquar-
ters there, the recruits from Pine Ridge
having built village. There were
tifty-six of she men and eight squaws
with ten papooses There being no
provision for the squaws number of
Sibley tents were set up for them and
they were put to housekeeping right
away, they having got in last night
The men are all young, 80 being the
age limit, and the women are as comely
as Sioux squaws ever are, which isn't
aging much. Their Indian garb Is
preserved, although the men will wear
the regulation army uniform

gineer of the New York Central lie
was one of the three men who escaped
unhurt He said that no one in the
Gibraltar had any idea Of their danger
until they heard the roar of the 1T
Louis express right behind them
The next instant the crash came. In
less time than it takes to tell it the
locomotive had crashed into the
sleeper and the escaping steam was
scalding the passengers TO death. For
moment there was almost absolute
silence and then the most awful shriclls
and groans were heard from the pass

how he got out of the car

To add to the horror of the occasion
thieves got to work and began to rob
the injured passengers. How much
they secured is not known. 1t was not
known that thieves were among the
injured at the time of the accident, and
the fact was not discovered until this
morning a number of volunteers
worked among the injured passengers
and it is probable that this was made
a cloak for stealing by some.

New YORK, Dec. 26.-The court-mar-
tial of. Major Throclsmorton, charged
with duplicating his accounts and
drawing checks on banks where he
had no deposit, was continued this
morning Major Powell, of the Sixth
infantry, had been regularly ap-
pointed by the war department to sit
in the court as substitute for Colonel
George Y. Henry The defense had no
objection, but Colonel Burns declared
that law and precedent showed that
an officer could not be admitted as a
member of court-martial when he
had neither seen nor heard important
witnesses. The court sustained the
protest. Samuel Westervelt, clerk
in dry goods house, was called. but
refused To answer any of the questions
put TO him on the ground that he was
civilian. He was told to stand down.
Henry Tompkins, attorney for the
same firm, refused TO testify on the
same ground. The judge. advocate
severely scored the witnesses and the
court held that both were guilty of
contempt but could nnt be punished
The trial then proceeded, no sensa-
tional testimony being offered.

ent lawyers from Cincinnati. st. Louis,
Kansas City, Milwaukee, st Paul, Min
neapolis, Louisville, and other points
that have been invited to attend the
meeting at the versity club thi.
afternoon TO protest against the ap
pointment of Judge WOODS, of Indian
apolis, as federal Judge, are in the city
they have SO far managed to keep the
fact close secret None of them hav,
SO far made their presence known &c
those most directly interested in the
gathering. Its promoters say, however
that there will be large and repre-
sentative attendance, and that for,
midable opposition to the confirmation
of the Indiana judge will be developed,
The chief ground of complaint against
him seems to be that he knows little
or nothing of the patent branch of the
law. that he cannot grasp the intricate
questions presented in patent cases,
and that on more than one occasion he
has expressed and manifested hostility
toward patentees. This afternoon :
meeting will frame and adopt memo
rial of protest against the confrma-
tion and arrange for its presentation
to the senate without delay.
