today sentenced by the court to 90 days

IT WON'T WORK.

II reports from Washington are cor
rect Mr.. Cleveland is at last beginning
to realize that the rebellion against him
and his financial policy in the democratic
party has assumed proportions that he
cannot control. Yet instead of submit
ting to the inevitable and obeying the
wishes Of the party and the people, with
characteristic egotism. d%ogmatism, and
stubbornness, he is casting about for
a harbor from which to dodge the issue
and fool the people. 1t will not work-he
has had his say and day. He has abused
the confidence reposed in him and vio-
Lated the pledges Of the platform on
which he was elected. That he has
done so is his fault, for the people
trusted him, but it will be their
fault if they give him or any
one within the circle of his
influence another opportunity to
fool them. The story as now related is
that Mr.. Cleveland has about concluded
that he cannot be reelected, and in the
kindness OF his heart he proposes to
make ex-Secretary Whitney residuary
legatee. The program is all mapped
out, lie is to pave the way to the con
troll of the national convention by throw
ing a ''sop to the eilverites'' in the shape
of a resolution to be passed at the next
session of congress, directing him to call
an international monetary convention to
be held at Washington in 1896. This, he
thinks, will satisfy the silver men of the
party and make the nomination of Mr..
Whitney easy. This scheme is too thin.
He may fool himself, but he will not fool
the democracy. 1t is not looking for
sop; it wants a square meal and proposes
to have it with or without his consent or
assistance. There will be no
middle ground. 1t will be
free coinage or defeat and
il he was not SO wiifully blind Mr..
Cleveland would realize that this is the
situation. If he were honest and in
earnest regarding an international COD
ference he would not wait for authority
of congress to call one. He can recon
vene the Brussels conference at any time
he sees fit. 1t may be argued that the
personnel of that body is Objectionable;
the answer to that is that since the
previous meeting public sentiment in all
the countries has undergone a radical
change and the delegates would natur-
ally be influenced by the popular feeling
The president however iced not bother
about an international conference. The
people of the United States have about
made up their minds to go it alone on
the financial question and any counter
move he may make will be promptly set
down upon. The popular demand is
freq coinage at d ratio of 1G to ], indie
pendent of other nations or the influence
of the administration and the threats of
the money power, and the demand wiki
be enforced.

1t was rather mean to make any sug-
gestion, but this is the way it looks to
the Meagher County News: "The prices
at which the proposed capitol sites at
Helena were offered furnish some inter

the taxpayers whose property has not
experienced 80 remarkable an advance

Becom- ing interested i'll tho red men. he pene- tratcd to the very heart of their country despite tho fact that at that time they were none too friendly toward white men. He soon acquired a knowledge of tho Navajo language. and the thrift and industry of the Indians led him to think very seriously of remaining with them. He had many exciting experiences and narrowly escaped being killed on a number of occasions, but the majority of the Indians became very fond of him. and his popularity has steadily in- creased.
 One secret of his great success was the fact that he had considerable knowl- edge of medicine and treated the sick Indians. He established drug store and soon became known to the Indians as tho Big Medicine Man. The white settlers, however. call him Navajo Bill. During his residence with the Navaioes ho has completely recovered his health and is so delighted with life on the res ervation that he has no idea of ever leaving it. He takes part ill all the ceremonies of the tribe, is always con- suited when any brave squaw or pa- poose is sick and is by far the most in fluential man among the Navajoes- Some pesSimiSts maintain that tho only good Indian is dead one. but tho Navajoes arc hardly within this category. They are hard workers and have maintained themselves without assistance from the government, it is said. for over 80 years. With white chief to direct their affairs and counsel with them they will doubtless mako quicker strides | toward civilization.

THE WAGES OF SIN.
Buck Killed Mrs. Williams and Himself In
 the Presence of Her Children.

NEWARK, N. J., April l1.-On tho sec. ond floor of three story tenement house at 1o5 Magazine street was committed s crime which cost two lives. For causes not yet clearly understood Joseph Buck shot Mrs. Tessie Williams and then sent a bullet mo his own brain. The two little daughters of tho murdered woman saw tho tragedy. Buck visited Mrs. Williams in the afternoon. and after a brief conver- sation, which ended in angry words he drew a revolver from his pocket, and aim- ing deliberately at tho woman fired. The bullet entered just behind the right ear, and death was almost instantaneous. Not satisfied however, tho murderer fired two moro shots into her body. Then pressing the revolver against his forehead he fired again, dying instantly.
 Only one theory has been advanced as to the probable cause of the crime. It is believed to have been due to love affair. Buck was O German and about 40 years old His victim was the wife of Ferdi- nand Williams. a stone cutter. For some weeks previous to last Saturday, Williams was in St Michael's hospital, and during that time Buck had been a frequent wis itor of the Williams family.

A pardon. as unjustifable as any of re- cent years, so far as reason for it appears. has recently Ebeen granted in Massachu- sets. It rests on mere mawkish senti- mentality and is likely to result in a score of homicides. It is that of a fellow who attempted to kill, but oHly succeeded in shooting through the lung after firing at her four times. young woman to whom he was engaged, but whose father was cp- posed to the match because of the lovers lack of industrious habits. The would-be murderer was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment This was nearly five years ago. The poor girl after long illness and great suffering recovered. It turns out tha; with more love than reason she has been lAboriug for the pardon, which has been granted. of the brute who shot her. Now, and this is the worst of it. they are to be marriei.
