a TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

~ ounuay morning by the informa-
ton that Mr.. Leonard Amacker. a
well-known. popular and prosper
ous farmer who lived on Pearl riy.
er, in the western portion of this
county, had been waylaid and assas-
sinated Saturday evening just before
sundown. The tragedy occurred
near Long Branch, about ten miles
from town, and within a quarter of
mile of the residences of Willis
and Hez. Amacker. Mr.. Amacker
spent the day here, attending the
county convention and transa citing
private business, and was return
ing home in his buggy and alone,
He was instantly killed, as two
loads ofbuckshot were fred into him,
taking effect In his head and the
upper left portion of hIs back. The
! shots were heard by several near
residents-first the two gunsbots,
then the three pistol shots. When
the scene was reached Mr.. Amack.
er was found lying in the road stone
dead. His horse received FIVE
shots in the neck and ran off with
the buggy. Mr.. Amacker's pistol
was found on the ground within
six feet OF his body, three chambers
of which showed that they had
recently been fired. The supposl-
ton is, that the pistol had been
taken from Mr.. Amacker's person
and discharged by the assass sin.
Mr.. Amacker was known to have
had enemies, but there is no clew as
yet to the identity of the party or
parties concerned IN the bloody deed.
Several months ago an attempt was
made near the same spot to assas~
sinate the deceased as he was rid
ing in company with friend. One
shot was fired at him from a VIM
chester. Mr.. Amacker was about
45 years of age, and leaves a wife
and eight childen. j. NJ. Gam

A MAD GODDESS.

Henry Watterson's star-eyed goddess
OF reform is on the rampage in these
ides of March. Her hair is disheveled;
her eye flashes with virtuous indigna-
ton; her aims are akimbo; she swings
a rolling-pin in one hand and broom
stick in the other, and her tongue lashes
without mercy the fellows who have in
suited and betrayed her. And the old
lady is right. She has our warm SYM
pathy. Woman was never so abused as
she has been. The houting and jeers,
the quips and gibes OF her open adver-
sarleS she endured with pleasure as
tribute to her virtue and her cause, but
when her own retainers. members of
her own household, bearers of her ban
ner. recipients of her bounty, turn
traitors and go boldly over to the enemy
and try to take her with them, Irvine
her Drows with the enemy's laurel;
wrap their standards about her; put
their shibboleth in her mouth-it is too,
too much. and the Old lady Dlazes forth
in corruscating wrath which minces
nothing, buffers no parsnips with fine
words. Here is what she has to say
about the thing the senate is trying to
palm off on the dear people as her
progeny:
1t is thing of jobs and shams, mis-
cradle batch. strutting in the stolen
vestments of tariff reform. whited out
side by pretensive scaling of a few
duties, but inwardly reeking with the
dishonesty and hypocrisy of protection.
1t is carcature of an honest revenue
measure, and the only good thing about
it is that the senate itself can't make it
much worse, even if the conservatives"
should exercise the privilege, said to
have been promised them, of getting
Still more protection for some Of their

lcates kept about even pace with the
coin. With the Introduction of the
Bland seignorage bill, either as a coin
cidence or as an effect, the gold pay
ments fell off rapidly from % per cent
in January this year to To per cent on
Feb. rs; gold certificates became but IS
per cent of the receipts, while the silver
certificates ranged from Sc per cent to
62 per cent. Greenbacks, which were 5
per cent i'll January, were 20 per cent at
the end of February, and the Sherman
notes rose from per cent to Is per cent.
One conclusion is irresistible from
these barometrical readings, and that is
that the causes OF the panic began to
show themselves in the latter part of
1880 anu following, either as an effect
or coincidence, as you please, the
passage or the Sherman and the Nc Kin
ley acts. Another is that the CONNER

ness instincts, regards with distrust the

The Duluth Collcctorship.

Adyices from Washington state that
Hon. Beriah Magoftin stands a very
good show Of being appointed collector
of customs at Duluth. Such an ap-
pOintment would be very acceptable to
the business men who are brought in
contact with the collector. while Mr..
Magottin'S staunch Democracy should
be satisfactory to the most extreme
partisan.
Mr. Magoffin has resided in Duluth
for number OF years and has taken an
active interest in everything conducive
to the city'S benefit. As q member Of
the chamber OF commerce he did his full
share of the work in connection with
various matters in behalf of the city's
interest.
Being personal friend of Secretary
Carlisle. the intlence eXerted at the
White house in his behalf will be con-
siderable, and III view of the fight which
has been waged between other candi-
dates over this office, Mr.. Magof1in is
likely 10 capture the plize.

AFRICAN COLONIZATION.

The African colonization scheme
seems to have obtained a foOthold in
Alabama. but finds little favor elsewhere
in the South. In that state the move
ment has taken a semi-religious form,
1t is championed by colored Methodist
bishop, assisted by aspiring colored poll
ticianS. The plan is to found colony
on the dark continent whose purpose
shall be the ChriStianization of the ma.
tive races and the establishment of a
black republic patterned after our own
form of government.
The pictures drawn of such a republic
are roSeate in the extreme. The African
negro has shown himself to be capable
Of high degree of development When
he once begins to rise in the social and
intellectual scale he is not satisfied short
of anything but the highest position at
tainable. If he is enamored of wealth
he makes sacrifices for its sake that a
white man would not make. If he
is ambitious of political distinction
he works untiringly to that end. Dis
couragements do not repress him. He
redonbles his efforts with each setback,
ana persists TO the last.
Perhaps in Africa the dreams of a few
ambitious American negroes would be
realized. Ii a considerable colony of
educated and enlightened men should
establish itself at some convenient CEN
ter, it would be nucleus for the forma-
ton Of such nation as that pictured at
the recent convention at Birmingham.

the leaders in the future nation. Their
superior intelligence would give them
great advantage over the natives. They
would be the ruling class, and their
children would succeed them in control
of affairs. The nation would naturally
be of slow growth. for it would have to
be educated intellectually and morally.
as we'll as politically. But the founders
could not expect immediate results from
their endeavors, and they could afford
to wait and to labor for years in the
promise OF the future.
Such movement would not be COM
pulsory, and is therefore free from the
objections that hold good as to the ma
Jority OF colonization schemes hitherto
suggested. 1t is also more likely to sue
coed in retaining the natives from
their condition of savagery. Men of
their own race would exercise greater
influence over the natives than those of
alien blood. and progress in the arts of
civilization would be rapid.
Upon the whole, there is much TO be
said III favor of this new movement.
This country would not suffer because
of the migration of a few thousand
negroes. The labor market is already
oyerstocked. and perhaps ON that ac-

Judge Chetiain Extends the limo
TO April 6.
CHICAGO, March 22.-When the fed
eral judges announced that they would
not grant the petition for writ of habeas
corpus in the case OF Premdergast, the
assaSsn's attorneys renewed their es-
forts by raising the question of their
clients sanity. The point now raised
Is that Prendergast has become insane
since the trial. So they applied TO
Judge Chetlain, and he consented to
near arguments to show that he could
properly take the matter up.
Judge Chetlain refused to extend the
tllne for hearing beyond IL o'clock to-
morrow morning. the hour set for the
execution. and now the authorities at
Springfield have refused to reprieys
Prendergast. he will hang near that
time unless jury in Judge Chetlaln's
court determines him insane. 1t was
nearly 1880 tonight before the at
torneys concluded their opening argu-
mentS. and Judge Chetlain decided that
he could rightfully take the case up.
The regular court yepire was then shm-
moned and the work of securing a Jury
begun
Having heard the arguments, Judge
Chetlaln announced his decision, ex-
tending the time of the execution of the
sentence two weeks to April 6, and
setting the commencement of the trial
or the question as to his sanity Satur-
day morning at 10 o'clock. Said
the Judge: "The case as it now
stands is as follows: The state has
appeared and declared itself ready to
proceed. 1t has conceded to the de-
PENDANT the right to trial. The court
required the defense to introduce fur
Their evidence to make a prima facie
case, raising a reasonable doubt as to
the sanity OF the prisoner. The cues
ton Is not one of the guilt Of
the prisoner, but whether he. be-
tween the time of the Judgment of the
court and the execution of his sentence.
has become insane. The court has the
power to empanel jury and try this
case. 1t is now nearly midnight aud 1t
IS apparent to the counsel on
both sides that the trial could
not be concluded before tn
time appointed for the execution.
Shall the court be left powerless to pro-
ong the time of the execution of the
sentence? From the authorities [ am
satisfied that the court has that inhe-
rent power.
Now, has good cause been shown why
the time of the execution should be
prolonged? Two witnesses say that
this man has become insane since
the Judgment of the court. One
testified to change in his manner, and
less conference in his language indicat-
ing insanity. Another witness at first
believing that defendant had control
over his action has since the judgment
of the court become convinced that
the defendant has not control
over his actions, but is ell
tireiy irresponsible and insane. The
question ought to be submitted to a
jury and investigation be made quietly
and duly. 1t would be inconsistent
with humanity and justice to compel a
trial at midnight. For the foregoing
reasons the court will prolong the execu-
ton of Patrick Eugene Prendergast."

Not a Spring Chicken.
Washington County Journal

Washington County Journal.
Some of the st. Paul and Minneapolis
papers have been trying bard to ascer-
tain whether Or not ex-senator d. M.
Sabln, of this city, intends to enter
politics again next fall in the hope of
succeeding w. ID. Washburn in the
United States senate. Tho Minneapolis
Tribune claims that there is no question
about it at all. and that it has good
authority for the statement.
MIR. Sabln is by no means a spring
chicken in politics, and if he intended
to make a fight for the election he
wouldn't let the public know it so early
i'll the day. He refuses to commit him
self on the subject, but we believe he
is out of politics entirely aud will not
enter the field again until his business
affairs are satisfactorily adjusted.

Either a PopuIist or Nelson.

Mrrshall County Leader.
Bill Washburn is home from Wash
ington laying his wires for the election
of legislature that he can mir e" to
re-elect him to the senate. 1t made
bankrupt of him to buy his first cleo
ton, and he will be pauper by the
time he puts up enough to elect him
again. There are liable to be Populists
enough in the next legislature to
elect a POpulist senator. and if
there are not enough for that there will
certainly be enough to see that Wheat
Ring. Pine Land Billie don't get it. In
fact, unless the Populists shall be able
to elect senator to succeed Washburn,
Gov. Nelson will have a sure thing on
it. A Populist even might survive
vote for Nelson, but if one ever votes
for Washburn, he ought 10 be hung as
soon as he arrives at home-if he should
have the check to return.

Don't Give the People a Chance

Carver County News.
The latest fad in politics is the sug-
gestion that the next Republican state
convention nominate a candidate for
United States senator to succeed Sena-
tor Washburn. We look upon this as
very lll-advised suggestion. Where is
the sense in the convention naming
candidate that the people have no
power 10 elect? There can only be one
hope for the wire p1llers in such
move, and that is they believe they can
more readily manipulate the state con-
vention to serve their purposes than
they can the legislature. Until the peo-
pie are given the right to vote directly
for senator, leave the choice entirely
to the legislature, where it of right be.
longs. That body ought to be as COM
petent to carry out the will of the peo-
pie as the state convention.

DIXON KNOCKED OUT.

Knock Down.
PHILADELPHIA, March %. - The
friendly bout" tonight at Industrial
hall for the benefit of the poor, between
George Dixon, feather-weight champion,
and Walter Edgerton, of Philadelphia,
proved to be anything but friendly.
Neither man attempted to do any slug
ging in the first round, which was of
two minutes duration, but the fun
came in the second round. The old en-
nifty which exists between the TWO men
cropped out. They rushed at each other
all over the ring for minute.
Edgerton had Dixon in the lat
ter's corner. and the little champion
seemed to be wary of his antagonist.
Edgerton led With his left ana Dixon
parted the blow with his right; the
Rosebud swung his big right glove on
Dix0n's neck. Dixon went down like
a log, his head striking the floor
hard blow, which probably stunned
him. Referee Cole picked him UP
and sat him on the chair in his cor
ner. 1t was just one minute and ten
seconds before Dixon realized what had
happened. The bout lasted one and
half minutes. Dixon by careful haad-
ling was able TO go OH and finish tue
scheduled three rounds. Tom O'Rourke
said that it was the first time Dixon had
ever been Knocked down.

Duluth Commonwealth.
The GLOBE complains that there are
a thousand postoffices languishing for
Democrats to fill them. 1t is just that
sort of complaint that disgusts men who
believe that there is an end in politics
beyond getting Office and gives phari-
saical Republicans opportunity to gibe
at the Democrats that they care for
nothing but to get office. What does it
matter who fills the offices so congress
enacts wisely and the government is
well administered?
