Is 1T A POLITICAL MURDER
A Discussion of the Probabilities In tn
Gloystein Case.
~.

A Disc ussIon of the Probabilities In the
Gloystein Case.
Spokane outburst, Rep
The reason of the disappearance of
Charles f. Gloystein Is as yet an unsolved
mystery, but it must rest upon one of
three causes: First. he disappeared
voluntarily to cover up some unknown
shame; or, second, he was kidnapped or
murdered by some persons with whom he
had had business troubles: or. third, he
was kidnapped or murdered by political
enemies. In regard to the first
cause, it is entirely inconsistent
with his character. for he has always
borne the reputation of an upright, Chris
tihn man, who has always spoken kindly
of his fellows and never did 40 intentional
wrong. He was not such brute as to
leave wife and five small children, and
no one has even suspected him OF carry
ing q secret shame. In regard 10 the sec
ond cause, his few enemies charge him
with nothing more serious than such
troubles as usually befal any man, and
which would not provoke so much as Inst
fight. TO say nothing of murder. There Is
only left the third cause. that he was kid
mapped or murdered on account OF his
political convictions.
IL may seem incredible that in this en-
lghtened age there could be community
in the state of Washington SO lawless and
so intolerant of the rights of American
cit zenship that an honorable and re-
spected man could be murdered and made
a martyr 10 his convictions. But is It
really incredlble7 Not sixty days ago
this same man was hung in efhgy, and
was warned by letter and by placard to
leave his community because he offended
the political sentiment of his neighbors.
This is fact about which there Is no pos
sibie dispute. His community showed in
that act that they we're intoierant OF any
man who did not agree with them in poiiL-
zeal sentiment
1t is not the intention of the 0atburst to
charge any political party or any organiza-
ton with this supposed crime. 1t Is our
belief that a crime has been committed
aud that sooner or later the guilty parties
must be brought TO Justice. We do wish,
however, to sound the note OF alarm
against the reasonable and anarehistic
sentiment which is rampant In this coun-
try. Nsknow that this exists and IL must
lie hlotted out or human liberty and Ameri-
can freedom are dead. For the sake Of free
Institutions and for the sake of the fair
name OF the state Of Washington, We ap-
peal. as We have often done before, TO the
great spirit of American patriotism, 20
avenge this political murder il such il be.

The Wonderful Gulf Stream.

The readers of The Republic are well
aware of the fact that the Gulf Stream is an
osesn current of varying widths and We
locity Of flow. but there are few who know
that it is really an ocean river. The name
'Gulf Stream" as applied to this great ar
terry of the deep was first suggested by
Benjamin Franklin, because it was known
to have its origin within that portion of
the Atlantic Ocean called the Gulf of Mex
leo. This great ocean river is more than
1000 times larger than the Mississippi
River, and continually runs in a regular
path, winter and summer, just as land
streams do. Three miles an hour is about
the average velocity of the Gulf Stream,
though at certain places its speed is won
derfully increased, often reaching so miles
in 60 minutes. this phenomena in no way
depending on width or depth. Where il
passes through the Iuca:an Channel it is
80 miles wide and 5000 feet deep. AT
thai point the velocity is only one-fourth
of a mile an hour. In the Straits of Benz
ini, where its whole volume is confined To
so miles, and depth of less than 5000
feet, the speed is Eve miles an hour. Where
1t comes nearest the Florida coast it is only
SO miles wide and flows at the rate of Il
miles an hour

Witches and Plants.

In all countries in which the witchcraft

in former tunes, we find folklore stories
connecting those mysterious bogies with the
plants of those particular regions. Even
the great Shakespeare causes his witches

properties of "hem lcck digg'd = dark" and
of "slips of yew silvered in the moons

There is an interesting little bit of his
tory to account for the jog in the southern
boundary of Missouri, whereby the coun-
ties of Pemiscott ard Dunklin project be-
l1w the parallel of 36 degrees and 80 min
u.es, which forms the southern boundary
of the State west of the st Francis. What
is now the State of Missouri was organ
lied as Territory in 1872. When the bill
for the organization of the Territory was
up in Congress, certain wealthy and in
huential Democrat, whose name is not at
this moment recalled, owned nearly all the
land in those two counties, and, as the Ter
ritorial government of Arkansas was not
yet formed, he was anxious 10 have his
lands annexed to Missouri. He did not
wish TO De left out in the cold in an unor-
ganized territory. He therefore made
strong appeals to his friends in Washing
ton, and by his exertions the original bill
was amended so as to take him in. The
bill, as first introduced, provided that the
parallel of 36 degrees and 80 minutes
should be the southern boundary of Mis-
souri, throughout its entire extent, from tb:
Mississippi west.

Left-Handed Redemption.

When the music teachers and quacks
elected in Missouri over such men as Bland,
Clark and others of like prominence, make
answer in the next House, the 10000 Mis-
souri, democratic who remained at home on
election day may have some conception OF
the enormity of their mistake. The st
Louis Republic in ana.yzing the result
says
Missouri redeemed! BY whom and for
whatp Republicans could have redeem
ed nothing if there had been anything to
redeem, They did not even get out their
vote-could not even persuade themselves
that their candidates were worth support
ing.
"The whole story is that fraction OF
the democracy of Missouri had short pc
riod of coldness; at whose consequences 1t
now stands aghast.
"FranSis NJ Black is defeated and
Waltour NJ Robinson, whose full name
nine ten,hs of the lawyers in the state
could not remember, Is elected. What
kind of redemption is that? Richard
Bland, Missourian OF international repu-
tation, is succeeded by doctor who is in
significant in his own profession and non
entity in politics. Champ Clark the mos
successful young orator in the house, retire'
and music teacher goes where practicine

tion of such word as redemption will

ais Missouri protectionist state? Is IL
weary of strict and economical home gov

Missouri is no more republican, no mort
a doubtful state, than it was in 1872 o.
1892. When the democratic voters whC
never vote the republican ;icket come out
as they will in 1896 and thereafter, the re
publican accidents of an extraordinary yea
will return to obscurity.
"Treloar, Crowther, Hubbard. Flory
