A iastardly murder was committed
in Minneapolis last week, Miss
Catherine Cling being enticed to a
lonely spot in the suburbs of the city,
and murdered in cold blood by a
hired assassin, the object of the dia-
bolical crime being,to obtain theinsur-
ance on herlife. A man named Harry
Hayward, whose relations with the
victim were supposed to be moro than
Platonic, has been arrested, together
with the two others who carried out
his helish scheme, A brother of
Hayward's confessed that he knew of
the designs on Miss Ging's life, and it
was this confession that completed the
chain of evidence against Hayward,
Blixt and Erickson. Blixt confessed
that he murdered the woman.

H.,
John g. Nicolay contributes to The
Century some fragments that Lincoln
wrote from time to time Often they
were penned for the mere purpose OF
practice in literary composition. Through
painful, rugged ways the solitary maa

and from his own deep thoughts in the
fields and woods.
One of the fragments is set Of notss

lawyers never to accept. a full fee in ade
vance and nothing more than email

than common mortal who can feel the
same warm interest In prepaid ease as
In one where he is working for his fee.
A good hint is conveyed here also %
those who hire lawyers.
In the following sentences there are
suggestions which, If lawyers adopted
them, would make the world better OH
and happier than it is now:
Heterogeneous speaking should be peAc-
ticed and cultivated. 1t is the lawyers avenue
to the public. However able and faithful he
may be in other respects, people are slow to
bring him business IL he cannot make speech.
| And yet there Is not more fatal error To
| young lawyers than relying too much on speech-
| making. If any one upon his rare powers Of
| speaking shall claim an exemption from the
arudgery Of the law. his case is failure tn ed.
vance.
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neigh
hors to compromise whenever you can. Point

scarcely be found than one who does this. Who
can be more nearly fiend than he who habit.

1t would seem as if the patient
efforts of scientists to find cure and

been rewarded, and not since the time

If the press of the state will con-
tinue their demands for legislation,
that will bring the express companies
under the direction of the railroad
commission, with power to control
rates, we will have a law enacted at
the coming session. All attempts to
obtain legislation governing express
companies has, so far, failed of enact
ment, and it is very probable that any
efforts made at the next session will
be strangled, unless the matter is
kept prominently before the the

that franks" are always issued to
members of the house and senate, by

Much ofthe hap-hazard and slip-shod
legislation is due to the waste of time
at thesbeginning,and overcrowding at
the close OF the legislative sessions.
The trst half of the sessions are fritz
tered away, and it is impossible in the
overwhelming rush and haste of the
closing hours to give careful consider
alton to the most important measures.
That reform is necessary, is evident
from the bungling work on important
bills at the last session, and it would
seem that the only way to overcome
this, would be an enactment provid-
ing for the holding of daily eight
hour sessions.

1t is not to be supposed that the
closing of the sugar refneries and the
discharging of thousands of workmen
on the eve of the re-assembling of
congress, has any political sig
nifcance, even if it does look sus-
picious. Still, there will be some
people mean enough to say, that the
closing of the refineries was done for
effect, and good many more people
stupid enough to believe it. We do
not doubt, but there may be still
another class, who viii bother their
heads wondering how the sugar trust
could run in full blast with sugar on
the free list, and have to close up

In the history Of all newspapers 1t is
seen that there have been those who get
on their ear at odd spells and stop their
paper. If those people were not over
wise in their own conceit they would
put their finger In the river, and, after
pulling it out, see what effect it had.
The individual who vainly imagines
that paper cannot survive without his
support ought to go away from the city
awhile. When he returns he will find
that nine tenths of his friends did not
know that he had gone, and the other
tenth did not care n cent. We know
and hope that some of our patrons will
find things in this paper they cannot
endorse. Even the good book hits a
trifie hard sometimes. To get mad and
burn your bible would not mend mat
ters nor hurt the publisher. Tie same
way with the editor. You may call
him all sorts Of ugly names. and the
paper will still be out on time, and what
is less to your credit you will sneak
around every week and borrow copy
of your neighbor. 1t is best to keep
your vest pulled down, and your sub
scription paid up, If you can't afford to
pay it ahead.-Ex.

Last week Governor Waite sent a
communication to Adjutant General
Tarsney requesting the latter's i'm
mediate resignation. The gallant ad-
jutant of the state troops replied in a
very caustic letter in which he politely
declined to comply with the governors
demand. Waite assigns as reason for
his action in the premises the fact that
Tarsney was not as loyal as he might
have been to his chief in the late poll
tical campaign, and Of course, this has
always been considered sufficient cause,
in the eyes Of our despotic governor, for
the removal of those of his subordinates
who were not entirely devoted to his
private and political fortunes. Accord
ing to last accounts Tarsney still held
his Office and the military had not been
called out to dislodge him.

Populist papers are cackling good
deal over an alleged increase in the ag-
gregate vote of their party in the nation
at large. This claim is purely fictitious
and is based on gains in the two Caro-
linas, Alabama, Texas and other South
ern states, where the Populists and Re-
puDlicans fused and elected several con-
gressmen. Such victories are of very
doubtful character.
