NOT BEEN ANSWERED.

Marsh Murdoch has stopped over again.
He advises the Republican house 10 give
up the fight and allow the mob to run
things, inasmuch as the Republicans can
apparently do nothing, and the rump
house has done all the mischief 1t can.
Upon the same principle the officers OF
the law should not attempt TO resist law
lessness and mobocracy, but permit the
mob to run its course. That Is not the
sort of back-bCn needed il a emergency
Troy Chief
A herd of sheep seem to be looking for
a scapegoat. No mere question, even If
it were suggestive. can be tortured into
declarated policy. The Chief, the Capt.
tai, the World and the other papers that
persist in making US declare what we
only innocently asked, must admit that
the Republicans did fail to dictate either
the senatorship or Partnership. Leaving
out Of the proposition these losses-and
they were losses-we only asked, ana
now ask again, where can
any or all of it end in any gain? A
work which has no end in view is but a
hopeless struggle. The fifty days will
have been consumed; then what? If
the POpullSts retain their seats and re-
main IL session the Republicans viii be
compelled to do the same. But for how
long? Then what? An after call for
an extra session would not afford any
thing new or tend to solve the present
deadlock. The EAGLE did not assert
anything or demand anything. 1t simply
asked simple question, which, by the
way, has not been answered satisfactorily.
Until somebody has shown the question
to have been ill-conceived or untimelY
we protest against SO much criticism.
The people of the state understand the
entire case, and fully. While they see
that high handed revolution was, and is
intended, they also know that standing
between them and their next election,
and this wrongfully organized body, are
the state courts, and back of all the Fed
eral power-the conservated wisdom and
experience Of the entire country.

THE sUNFLOWER HYBRID.

The New York Sun, under the head
Sunflower Hybrid, comments on John
Martins election as follows:
"We see no reasons to congratulate the
Democratic party upon the election of
Mr.. John Martin of Topeka as a senator
in congress from Kansas.
Doubtless Mr.. Martin is worthy and
respectable person. Such he was as
Democrat, such he remains as fusion
ist senator. But he was elected mainly
by Populisr votes, and the manner of his
election is doubtful. The Populist party
in the Kansas house has, with the con-
nivance of the Populist governor and
senate, set up as the lawful house of rep
resentativeS of the state of Kansas.
The methods pursued by Tom Reeds
committee on elections cannot be COM
mended by Democrats, and we are sorry
that any Democrats should approve
them or seek to derive an ilusory advan-
tage from them. The only excuse for
the Kansas Democrats who have con-
scented TO herd with the Populists in
choosing a senator is that the senatorship
IS The only thing the Populists have ever
given them IN exchange for many votes
and favors.
If the Kansas Democrats think that
one hybrid senator with doubtful title
is worth encouraging or seeming TO en-
courage fraud and injuring the party
organization for, let them think so. We
say nv brid senator because a mixture of
Populist and Democratic principles is the
queerest political mixture that can be
conceived.

KILLING ELKs WITH CLUBS.

Apropos of letter written from north
west Colorado last summer by the editor
of the EAGLE touching the wonderful
plentifulness of big game on the Yampa
and Elk rivers, the following special to
the ST. Louis Republic, dated Steamboat
Springs, may prove something of veri-
fic4tion, but interesting in and of itself.
The writer says:
One of the most singular ccc urrences
ever noted in this portion of the state
took place here this week as a result of
the storm which has been raging for the
last four days in the mountains. The
fierce war of the elements drove band
of over a thousand elk down from the
hills to high mesa about twelve miles
south of this place. They attempted to
move further in order to gain the val
leys, but in so doing they were caught
in the deep, crusted snow, where they
floundered around, powerless to retreat
or advance. Word of the event was soon
passed, and ranchmen from all quarters
flocked to the spot, armed with shotguns
and rifles. But two animals were shot,
and those only to save the lives of the
men attacking them. A man would Sc
lect a large bull elk, and walking toward
it on the supporting crust, which would
sustain his weight, with a club cut from
the neghboring timber, would battle
with the beast until a well directed blow
between the antlers would stretch the
creature dead.
Many narrow escapes from the mad
dened animals are recorded. When
enough game had been secured to supply
the domestic wants of the ranchmen a
load of hay was skidded out to the half
starved survivors of the band, which
they ate ravenously.
The climax, however. came yesterday,
when ranchman (W. B. Moore) was
called from his bed by the furious bel
lowing of his cattle. The elk had forced
themselves from their temporary prison
and had attacked the haystacks in the
valley, taking entire possession of the
ranches of Messrs. Moore, Holman,
Brown, Nichols, Helm & Co. and the
Pleasant Valley Live Stock company.
After a consultation had been held the
ranchmen decided that to drive them off
would mean starvation for the entire
baud, SO the elk were rounded up by the
firing of rifles and guns and driven into
Jay Sea Park, where two companies of
stOckmen own hay, and which they do
mated for the use of the animals and the
benefit of sportmen.
The elk show a remarkable degree of
yamenesS and do not appear in the least
disconnected by the presence of men who
go to feed them. They crowd around
the high corral, peering through the
spaces in the logs and anxiously await
ing the scattering of the loads. They
are consuming about six tons per day
and conduct themselves much in the
same manner as the same number of
range cattle would do.
Elk have been caught here in SIM
iliar manner before, but never IN such
large numbers, and the experiment of
feeding Is entirely a novel one.

RIDDLES BOND.

Biddle was to have assumed the
treasureship yesterday. That his bond
is legal OF good few believe. Of the 500
names, even if every individual was
good for twice the amount he justified
for, still the bond would probably be
worthless from the fact that nearly
every siguer for big amount is barred
by the law. Attorneys, county officers,
and deputies and members of the lecis.
lature by the dozen are on the bond. The
law reads:
That no state or county officers, or
their deputies. shall he taken as surety
on-the bond Of any administrator. exc
cutor or other officer, from whom. bv

pracucing attorney shall be taken on

in which he may reside: and If auv such
officer or deputy Is surety in any such

for the deposit thereof, such officer with
whom such bond Is filed, shall. within
thirty days from and after the taking
effect of this act, notify the principal on
such bond to give additional security,
which shall &c approved as tie law re-

In their bioodthirsty vengeance the
10000 Texans who participated in the
Paris horror, Wednesday, displayed as
much of the demon as did the miserable
wretch, upon whom they exhausted their
ingenuity for torture, in his diabolicaI
act. Such scenes and incidents are fit
only for places in the dark ages and
among the most savage of the race. In
attempting to mete out punishment
commensurate with the awful crime,
which the perpetrator is said to have
confessed, the frenzied mob committed
as black a sin. The terrible affair is too
siCkening to discuss.
