TRAIN ROBBERS HANGED.
CONDUCTOR M'NALLY'S MURDER
Frs PAY THE PENALTY.
They Robbed an Iron Mountain Train
Last November and Killed the Con-
ductor for Defending His Train.
They All Confessed.

ST. LOUIS, April Ga special to the
Post.Dispatch from Newport. Ark.
says the three train robbers, J. l..
Wyrick, Thomas Brady and Albert
Mansker, who killed Conductor w. P.
McNally at Oliphant, Nov. 80 last,
were hanged here this morning. The
drop fell at 7:45 and the men were pro-
nounced dead at 905 All three necks
were broken. The men spent the
night in prayer and preparations for
death. When they found that all
hope was gone they confessed that the
evidence adduced at their trial was
correct, and that the story of the train
robbery and murder as to Padgett,
who turned states evidence, was true.
All three united, however, in asserting
that Padgett planned the crime, drew
the others into it and then deserted
them when his own neck was endang-
cred. There was no hitch in the triple
execution, which passed Off smoothly.
The crime for which these men to-
day suffered death was committed on
the night of Nov. 30, 1858. About 10
O'Clock that night passenger train No.
| 81, on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain
and Southern railroad was held up at
Oliphant, a flag station in Independ-
ence unity, by seven masked men,
who looted the express and passenger
! coaches. The robbers kept up fusi-
lade of firing all the time the robbery
was being committed, and Conductor
McNally, who bravely attempted to
defend hts train, was killed.
About two weeks previous to the
robbery half dozen well-to do farm
ers disappeared from their homes near
Bentonville. They rode ponies and
were heavily armed. To their friends
they said they were going to the In
dian Territory to buy cattle. The
names of these farmers were Albert
Mansker, James L. Wyrick, George
Padgett, Oh Truman and Pennyweight
Powell and his younger brother,
| Samuel.
They left under the leadership of
Thomas Brady, whisky peddler from
the Innian Territory. These agricul-
turists left their farms, families and
friends, to become train robbers.
Brady, Mansker, Wyrick and Padgett
were arrested nos long after the hold
up. PadGett turned states evidence
and is now in Jail awaiting trial at the
spring term OF court. His three com-
panions were tried in February and
convicted of murder. Pennyweight
Powell was captured in Denver about
a month ago and is now in prison
awaiting trial. Oh Truman and Sam
Powell are still fugitives from justice.

THE JOY-O'NEIL CONTI

THE JOY-O'NEIL CONTEST.
The Democrats in congress will re-
gret the day that they ousted JOY,
Republican, and seated O'Neil, Demo-
crat. The evidence was that Joy re-
ceived the majority of votes, but
there were some Irregularities OF the
Judges that technically invalidated a
part of joys vote. 1t was not con-
tended that Joy did not receive
majority of votes, but upon a mere
technically. some of his votes were
thrown out by congress. If that was
the case O'Neil was certainly not
elected and has no right
to his seat. The only way of settling
it would have been by having the
election by the people over again 1t
will not do any party any good to use
their power in congress to disregard
the majority of voters in any district
and seat man who received minor
ity of the vote. The Republican party
set the precedent, but that makes no
difference. The Democratic congress-
men were elected to correct Re-
publican abuses. 1t is an ugly
thing aud altogether Incompatible
with the principles of Democracy. The
party that fails to observe the princi-
pie of strict observance Of majority
rule will soon lose power in this coun-
try. We believe we are solid on DEM
ocratic principles, and it is because
we are Democrats ,that we lament
the action of congress in this case.
We sustain the principles of DEM
ocracy, but when our representatives
in congress disgrace the dearest prin-
ciple of Democracy, majority rule, we
cannot approve or sustain their &C.
ton. 1t is o blow at the institutions
of the country, that as Democrats, our
representatives were in Guty bound
to ward off.

VICTORY FOR ORGANIZED
LABOR.

There never has been clearer, more
condensed and powerful declaration
of the rights and equalities of men
before tho law as EN- bodied in the form
of government OF the American peo-
pie, than that of Judge Henry g..
Caldwell of the United States circuit
court of Omaha, Neb. The decision
was in case embraced in the line OF
legal controversy determining the
relative rights Of railroad employe
and the railroad company, the Union
Pacific. Judge Caldwell seems to
have gathered together in one SEN
tence, the whole philosophy OF Repub'
lcan government, and delivered it
with such force that it will never be
forgotten. He said "a corporation is
organized capital consisting of money
aud property, organized labor is or.
ganized capital consisting of brains
aud muscle what is lawful for
one to do is lawful for the other
to do.n This powerful sentence
strips the vexed question of
capital aud labor from all the intri-
cace5 and complicated metaphysical
jargon of the law and leaves 1t so
plain that no man is so simple that
he cannot understand it, and, under
standing il, ,he understands the whole
theory and practical workings of this
government.
1t sweeps aside the decision of for.
mer judges, which manacled rail.
road employees to an ironclad
contract and deprived them
of their personal liberty, not
because it comes from superior court,
but because of its force. IL does not
depend 50 much on the authority of
the court as it does upon its tounda-
tion in the eternal equity between
man aud man. The court says by
tn s decision that if the railroad Off
Gals have the right to meet and con-
suit their interest, so has its employees
an equal right to organize and de~
termine the course they will pursue.
This was a great victory for organ
lied labor, as the rights of labor had
been clouded by former decisions, and
this settles the question now
and forever. 1t is true
there are superior courts, but
what lawyer is there who would APP
peal from a decision OF such force,
or what court is there that would at
tempt t. reverse such decision,
every word OF which is pregnant with
truth and equity between man and
man? The decision is of such force
that there Is no court not even the
supreme court of the United States,
could reverse and dislOdge it as a
fundamental truth, n part Of and in
herent to our form of government. A
court might as well attempt to reverse
the declaration of independence, for
it is in very fact declaration of indie.
pendence OF organized labor.

would disrupt the Democratic party.
On the contrary, there has not been for
a year greater evidences Of unity in
the party. Perhaps it is because the
extreme silver men have concluded
that is useless to kick against the
pricks, aud perhaps it is because the
entire party are disposed to agree that
the silver question had better be set
tied entirely in accordance with
the suggestions OF the National
Democratic platform. At any rate
there seems to be much less agitation
in the public mind of this question,
and looking over the Whole Held II
would be impossible to discover the
least sign of the disruption OF the
party. The veto turns out to have
been even the wisest policy for the
party, as it has cooled and allayed all
heated debates on the silver question:
as we predicted it would do.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have q
rumbing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrb
which is nothing but an intlamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.

ONE of the most dangerous things
to any institution is ri dicule. In this
country we can understand that Coxey
and his army are the mere eX-
hailed from the eX ravagant spread
eagleism of our unlimited privileges
and liberties, but Europe will be GER
tain to laugh at us and point to Cox
ey's commonweal with finger of de-
rision as illustrative of the instability
of our form of government, but we
know better, we know 1t will have no
more influence upon our stability
than a bubble upon q
river. The march of Coxey's army
is not in itself the thing that brings
us hazard, but the thing most to be
regretted is the enthusiasm it creates
with certain class of Populist citizens
along it's route. This enthusiasm is
an evidence of the crazy fanaticism of
the members of the Populist party
and shows to what extent that party
will go to engraft its wild and danger
GUS theories upon the country. Coxey
is only little ahead of the masses of
the POpulist party, to which they are
rapidly drifting. Coxeyism is the adj
vance guard of the Populist doctrines
and is important only on that account.
