was hanged was the murder of Glenn.
entine Manning He had lived with
the woman for number of years, but
left her, going to st. Paul. Learning
through Il newspaper that she hau
won $50 in the lottery he came back
and demanded that he be reinstated in
her affections As an earnest proof of
her regard for him he demanded that
the major portion of her prize be used
to start him in the saloon business.
His propositions were refused. Send
ing her sister. who was in the room,
for pitcher of beer, Wells n, as soon
as the sister was gone, shot Clementlne
to death. The defense of insanity was
put up. The principal evidence of
mental weakness was the fact that
Welsor carried in his pocket the shriv-
elled and mummitied finger of a dead
negro, with which it was his practice
to stir frequently glasses Of whisky
which he drank.

SENATOR LINDSAY of Kentucky, in
accepting the honor conferred upon
him by the Kentucky legislature, said,
awe have had the full benefit of the
Republican doctrine of tariff taxation
for the avowed purpose of protection,
in connection with which revenue, If
any, is the merest incident" That
means protection to certain class of
favored industries with incidental
revenue to the government. That is
the Republican doctrine.

The Bardwell Train Robbers

PADUCAH, Ky, Jan. 70. -Jace
Brown, the Bardwell train robber who
turned states evidence against VIM.
O'Brien and Joseph Breckenridge, was
brought to this city last night and
lodged in Jail for safe keeping as it was
feared that OBrien and Breckenridge
would kill him if he was permitted to
remain in the Wickliffe Jail, as they
had made such threats. His confes
slon not only makes out a clear case
against them in the Illinois Central
railroad robbery &C Bard well but also
in the Laketon robbery on the Mobile
and Ohio railroad few miles from
Bardwell, year previous.

IT looks a little ominous for tariff
reform to see that every Democrat in
the country seems to have his own
notions on the subject and none OF
them are in entire accord with the
Democratic idea or doctrine of the
tariff for revenue only.
If every fellow has his say
Then the party can't have its way.
We beg pardon, but like Silas Wegg
we are sometimes compelled to drop
into poetry but unlike Wegg we don't
charge anything extra for it.

THE COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE.
The Cosmopolitan for January, al

up it's character for artistic taste aud
literary excellence. There is no mag.
azne published at the same price,

is not only thorough business man
with that kind OF an ambition that
will have nothing but the very best

know what ia the best
but he is also a writer of distinction
and popularity. The article on the
Worlds Fair written by Mr.. Walker
is acknowledged on all sides to be the
best article published on the subject
With all these qualifications first

orr HAWAIIAN POLiCY.


Senator iurpee's re=Olution in the
United states senate has been con
strued to mean for the United States
to establish "a protectOrate over the
Sandwich Islands until the people OF
that country legally adopt form OIL
government, either by the restoration
of the queen or the endorsement OF
and authority to the present proVls-
ional government to form "a "de Jure"
government or the establishment OF a
republic without the aid or co opera
ton of either the queen or the proVls'
ional government.
If Minister Stevens had not, un'
der the authority OF the United
States, assisted in the revolution and
thereby placed this government under
the obligation OF righting that wrong,
even protectorate by the United
States would have b en- n very I'M
wiss policy, but since we owe our
selves an obligation to do right IN the
matter as well az we owe the former
government of Hawaii to right the
wrong that our rash minister did to II,
the policy Of establishing aprotectorate
over Hawaii may be- the only way
that we can right that wrong without
involving this government in compii'
cations or leaving, on account OF the
wrong o. Stevens, that country In a
state of anarchy. II Stevens aided in
the revolution then his action cannot
be eondoned by let alone policy on
our part. There is no doubt that
Stevens did this and it would be
cowardly for us to say, ave did
wrong. We have involved your
country In anarchy, but we cannot
now help it
The congress of the United States,
upon which now rests the whole re
sponsiblity, is bound TO act, if there
is honor enough in 1t, to right any
wrong we have done to the govern
ment and people of Hawaii, The
present hybrid provisional govern
ment of Hawaii WAS organized under
the expressed intention of annexation
to the United States and claimed an
existence only uuul that time and at
the pleasure of the government OF
the United States. Under these
circumstances and conditions congress
could assume u temporary protectorate
over the islands until u fair expression
of opinion could bs obtained of the
will of the people of the islands and
Mr.. Dole's government could not OBJ
iect, and then after n fair expression
of the will of the people in regard TO
their form of government the congress
of the United States could assure Its
permanency until government OF
Haw ali representing majority OF It's
people could assume the reins OF gov
eminent aud organize into perman
ent "de jure" government. Ii Sena'
tor Turpee's resolution looks to this
policy It seems to US to be the Wlsest
and most just that we could pursue
under the circumstances. We have
done great national wrong to weak
and simple people and it would be
base cowardice fer us to back out now
and say to this people, 1--WE had "a
fool and an enthusiast representing
us at Hawaii and we are sorry, but
we can't help you. You must rescue
Yourselves from the anarchy which
was caused b. our minister"

VALIANT, the French bomb
thrower, is threatened with life sem
tence at hard work. ooh death where
is thy sting, oh grave where is thy
victory" Such fellows prefer death to
hard work and on that account they
ought to get hard work. There is
nothing in the world that would
quicker reform these anarchists than
hard work and that is the object OF
the law, not to punish but to reform.

AN EPISCOPAL SENSATION.
The Head of the Maryland Diocese Calls
Certain Ritualists " Anarchists

BALTIMORE, May 90-The Maryland
Episcopal Diocesan Convention was
startled this morning by Bishop Paret.
who delivered the most sensational adj
dress ever heard in church circles in these
parts. The session opened at Emmanuel
church with devotional service conduct
ei by the Bishop. There were l30 clergy
men and over loo laymen present as dele
gates. The galleries and rear seats were
filled with prominent Episcopalians.
Just before the communion was admin
istered Bishop Paret assembled thu pulpit
and delivered his annual address II mem
toned the matter Of certain priests going
beyond the ritual Of the Church or modl-
flying II in their services, II spoke Of
pastors who were a scandal and an
offence 20 their brethren" 1t said those
who had broken over the Churchs ritual
had "periurpd themselves before God"
II was lamented that some should be- al
ways "CaTpug at canons and TubrlCS"
The Bishop said he could not understand
the conduct of those who were always
burning with a desire to break over the
laws Of the Church" lie intimated that
certain pastors were Anarchists, and said
that breaking over the law OF the Church
i'm the way some had done so was no
thing But anarchy
The Bishop regretted the pain and scan
dal which must follow the mention of
these matters, but COnscientlously doing
his duty as a bishop, he must speak OF
them lie said he had been asked about
the use Of incense and he would state
most positively that It was forbidden by
the ritual. He exhorted all the clergy OF
the diocese to give loving Obedience TO
I church law and constituted authority.
The speaker avoided the mention OF
any church or pastor. but the recent re-
bellion OF Mt. Calvary and st. Andrew $
churches was I'm the minds o. all. The
pastors Of these churches have estab-
llshed confessionals and used incense in
their services. Bishop Paret objected 10
their adding TO the ritual.
