A Prediction,

The course of policy pursued by
President Cleveland during his en-
tire administration by the open de-
fiance of constitutional laws and
welfare of the country suggests i'm
parchment to the minds Of the
downtroddcn people throughout the
land. The following article from
the New Nation expresses the senti-
ments of those who are suffering
from executive oppression, and
their opinion as to the probable
ultimate impeachment of the Amer.
lean Gear:
"Mr. Cleveland has furnished two
distinct and adequate grounds Of
impeachment on account of breach
of his oath of Office to carry out the
laws. One count relates to his open
and admitted failure to buy four
and half million ounces of silver
per month as required by law. The
other count relates to his failure to
take the first step to carry out the
Geary Chinese law, which should
have been enforced since July LIST.
Mind we'll, these charges are not
based upon any assumption of the
righteousness of these laws. But
they are laws, and the President is
sworn to carry them out whether
he likes them or nor, and he has
not done so. II this sort of thing
is going to be tolerated, We might
as we'll discontinue Congress for
good and all, and send to Russia
for a car.
We venture a prediction: If Pres
ident Cleveland does not change
his course he will be impeached be-
fore he gets through his term of
office, and the House of Representa-
tives elected in 1894 will do it."

"A Dirty Infamous Lie"

The above is the classical head
line which the Idaho Enterprise
adorns the reprint oftheKEYsToNE's
little burlesque on the ''Guvner's"
reception at Malad City recently.
The further prominence given our
article by its reappearance in the
Enterprise with such blood-curd-
ling preface impresses US with the
belief that the keen edge of our
satire struck in the right spot, and
created tempest in a teapot. The
irate pencil.pusher wants to snatch
us baldheaded for poking fun at
the "Guvner," the latter day apos-
tie of Irrigation. We didn't get our
information from a Malad cores
pendent. Oh, no; it wasn't "a
locker on in Vienna" that furnished
the KEYSTONE with such ''rot," but
the columns of the Enterprise pub
lished the programme that we just
touched up with a few facetious
embellishments. and the little i'm
provisatore of the liquid refresh
ments latter the light went out"
We will admit was a natural conclu-
sion on our own part. We judged
from his excellency's past record
upon such occasions. Will the En-
terprise please inform the KEYSTONE

Suicide Of Ex-Attorney- General Gar
lands Daughter.

Miss Daisy Garland, committed
suicide Friday, Oct. 9th, at her
home in Washington city by shoot
ing herself through the heart.
There are conflicting statements
concerning the cause which led to
the tragic deed. The true particu-
lars are learned from private letter
received from Washington written
by a close friend of General Gar
lands family, and a few hours after
the sad occurrence. Miss Garland
had no disappointment whatever in
any love affair. Her life was sad
dened by the death of her mother
several years ago to whom she was
devotedly attached, and after her
bereavement, at times was subjected
to spells of profound dependency,
and in such an hour in a religious
frenzy she determined to end her
saddened life. Miss Garland was
a beautiful, accomplished woman,
and was a great favorite of Mrs.
Cleveland, always taking prominent
part with the Presidents wife in
the receptions at the White House
while her father was a member of
the Cabinet. Her remains were
conveyed to the city of Little Rock,
her former home, and placed by the
side of those of her mother.

Another Bold Robbery at Wallace

A bold robbery was committed
at Wallace recently in the clothing
store of O. Otterson. In the early
part of the evening, while Mr.. o.
terson was arranging some goods
in his store, two men wearing black
masks entered and drawing revolt
vers demanded the proprietor to
hold up his hands. As Mr.. Otter
son was alone and unarmed, he was
forced to comply. The robbers or
dered him to open the safe, and
while one of the men kept watch
the other robbed the safe, dumping
the money hurriedly into a canvas
bag which hung over his shoulder.
At the request of Mr.. Otterson, the
robber left him his watch and some
keepsakes that were in the safe.
Having cleared the safe of all the
cash, Mr.. Otterson was ordered to
bring the till. He started toward
the counter, but managed to get be-
hind some clothing which was dis
played in the center of the store,
and out of range Of the cooked gun,
and ducking his head he rushed
out of the door into the street. His
call for police caused the robbers
to make rapid exit out of the back
door Of the building, and they dis
appeared in the darkness before the
officers arrived on the spot. The
robbers succeeded in getting away
with their spoils, amounting to
nearly 81 900. The men were be-
ing pursued by large posse at
last accounts.

Anarchy.

The recent terrible assassination
af Mayor Carter H. Harrison of
Chicago seems to already portend
a following of similar attempts.

and like railroad, steamboat and
other disasters that seem to come
in rapid succession at times, it may
be our sad duty to chronicle other

however. It is the most awful Of
all premeditated calamities. 1t is
the extreme of anarchistic tenden-
cies. It is unchristian., unamerican,
unnatural. 1t is always deplorable,
and aside from its extreme criminal
nature, reacts injuriously to any
cause. Sad as this occurrence is,
it is less deplorable than if it was
the outgrowth of some mooted pub
lie cause, some question on which
public opinion differed, and pas
aions were engendered for which it
was a pretext. The alleged motives
were insane, personal and triAing.

other demented crank had success.

Chicago's Awful Tragedy.

The, city of Chicago is over
whelmed with sorrow and shame. A
crank fires bullet which sent the
soul Of Mayor Carter II. Harrison
into eternity without moments
warning. The terrible work of an
other Guiteau removed from the
midst the most honored and popu-
lar man that ever lived within the
boundary lines of the great White
City. The character of Mayor Har.
risOn was above the pale of reproach
and he was a man that stood nearer
to the hearts Of the people than any
other who had ever been elected to
Office in the city Of Chicago. The
awful tragedy is . red blot upon
the record Of the city, just at the
close of the greatest period in her
municipal history. Chicago hon
ored Carter Harrison with electine
him five times the chief magistrate
of the city. Intense excitement pre-.
walls over the tragedy. and threats
are made of lynching the assassin
who gives as his only plea for bis
for his terrible crime that Mayor
Harrison had failed to keep his
promise to give him some petty
Office. The dying mans last word.

Down With Silver"

A considerable number of the
senators and representatives who
voted for repeal were and are no
doubt sincere in their declarations
of intent to do something subse-
quently for silver. Even Voorhees,,
the puppet, may introduce his free
coinage bill in perfect good faith,
but bless their dear innocent hearts
they will never see their most siren
uous efforts materialize in the least.
Some silver relief measure may
possibly, after q time, pass the Sen
ate but the majority in the House
cannot be overcome, especially with
the present executive in persistent
active opposition.
The great stuffed prophet has sat
down on silver with his administra-
ton end and no known leverage
will ever bulge him an inch. Baby
Esther will have made him a grand
pop and he will still be found the
stubborn bull-headed priest of gold
en- calf worshipers. He has had all
the honors possible for the Ameri-
can people to confer. He has
amassed wealth beyond the most
sanguine of his hopes. He can re-
tire in magnificent state, but it will
prove even more pitiable than that
of the sage of Wheatland, and in a
decade or two of years he will see
history write and surmise on the
profound wonder of his prime, to-
wit: By what possible calamitous
accidents did he succeed twice to
the presidency, and to what could
be attributed the influence he WELD
ed-mainly for evil-over the rep
resentatives of the people, demo-
cratic and republican, and against
their most profound convictions.
Let no one imagine for moment
that his heavy excellency will ever
approve any legislation for the ben
eft of silver. Even the possibility
of q few more senators favorable to
silver has by a mere warning ges-
ture from him, an appraised finger,
called halt in the proceedings to
form States out of three matured
Territories-democratic States at
that. His handwriting on the wall
is "down with silver" and there
will be no erasure, amendment,
compromise, substitute or any other
relief whatever until the people
speak, as they most assuredly will,
through the ballot boxes and he is
retired to innOxious desuetude.
