POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE
NEXT HOUSE.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, Wants
n Financial System for the United
States Which Recognizes Both
Gold and Silver.

Memphis. Tenn. April 21.-In an in
terview here today. Senator Harris
was asked
Senator. do you think the Demo-
Gratis will be able to organize the SEN
ate next December"
He replied: There will be three po-
litical organizations in the Senate
when it meets in December. not one
of which will have a majority. The
Republicans will have three or four
more votes than the Democrats, and
the Populist senators will hold the
balance of power. In this condition OF
affairs. neither party of itself can or
ganize the Senate. and while 1, as a
single senator. am inclined to do JUS
tice to the Populists in the organiza-
ton. yet l am not inclined to disre-
gard a single Democratic principle for
the power to reorganize the Senate"
What. is your opinion as to the
dominance of the free silver sentiment
in the south and west in relation to
the campaign of 1852"
The utilization and rehabilitation of
silver to it's position as a money metal
and money of ultimate redemption
in connection with gold as the regu-
lator of volume or amount of the thing
called money is overwhelmingly strong
in the south and west and in my opin-
ion ought to be strong and conclusive
everywhere.
IF people would recognize the unde-
niable facr that money is purely the
creature OF the law. as 1t is now, al
ways was. and always must be, just
what the law of its own country makes
1t, and when it passes beyond the
limits of your country it is not money,
but Immediately becomes commodity.

particulars Of the Burke murder. men

The camp at Burke was startled We'd
nesday by the discovery about o'clock
of the murdered body of John Wells.
The affair is shrouded in mystery. and
there Is not even clue to the murder
ers Wells head was crushed, and by
his side lay the blood-stained instrument
His blankets were upon his back and his
valise was near by, showing that when
the murderes overlook him he was leav-
ing the camp. The murdered man had
been fireman in the employ of the
Poorman mine for four years. He was
single and about 50 years old.
Two days ago he quit work at the
Poorman, and since that time has been
gambling around the saloons. Under
the rules he was not amenable to the
miners union. and there was nothing to
show that he had any trouble at all with
that organization nor any of its mem
bers. Coroner Harrington came up from
Wallace and impanneled jury. The in
quest was concluded today. No money
was found on the dead man, who had
evidently been robbed. He had been
gambling heavily the last few days. Sus-
picions point strongly to one person. but
no one will file a mplaint.-Anaconda

the Herwick ranch, on Catamount
creek, sixteen miles from Wolcott,

were killed Thursday night. The van
dals went into the pen on foot begin
ming by cutting the threats, but this
being too slow, they began using a
hammer This was the only herd of
sheep in the county, and was a cause
of a meeting of the cattle men of
Grand Eagle and Routt counties. at
Mccoy, April 16. when it was resolved
that no sheep would be allowed to the
cattle range. Mr.. Herkick stated that
he would dispose 81 his sheep as rap
idly as possible, if given time
to get them in condition to
market. This was not granted,
and citizens all over the coun-
ty are very indignant. Herwick
had announced his intention of leaving
the grazing business, and working his
placer property on the. Grand river,
near his home. More trouble is con-
fidently expected.
