What Might Have Been.

Is there anything in art or science
or letters at which Mr. Gladstone is
not apt? The paragraphs relating TO
his varied accomplishments come in
constant procession.
One of the latest is that the veteran
is, or used 30 be, great singer and the
possessor of a beautiful. singing voice
which was robust tenor. Ii his
voice had been cultivated so the para
graph says, he might have been one of
the finest tenorS of the day.
There appears TO be no limit to the
successes Mr.. Gladstone might have
achieved lie might have been an
eloquent advocate of the free coinage
of silver, If his mind had happened TO
run that way and thus have added an
i.lustriouS service TO his record. But,
unfortunately, that isn't the way his

Guarding the Mails.

The supreme court of the United

letters is valid. In certain quarters
the use of this means of detecting
crime has been regarded with aversion

Six Cents Damages.

\ recent libel suit against the New
York TriJURe based upon the publ
cation of some of the side issues in a
legal proceeding, resulted in a verdict
for the plaintiff for six cents. The
amount sued for was several thousand
dollars. At the trial 1t was brought
out that the paper acted in perfect
good faith in the first place in publish
ing the Objectionable item. 1t seems
the plaintiff thought there was a chance
to worry the Tribune, however, and
the possibility of a compromise doomed
up as the practical feature of the case.
the Tribune, conscious of the recti-
tude of its motives in the premises, re-
fused 10 compromise, and after worry
ing the plaintiff for goodly time in
return, enjoyed virtual victory. If
it had not been a woman on the other
side even nominal damages would not
have been allowed
Newspapers have been standing in
their own light too long by compro-
missing all the far-fetched and ridicu-
lous suits brought against them.
Nine-tenths of such actions are
grounded on neither reason, law nor
justice and are purely speculative.
The press is DESTROYS only OF a libel
law that will protect against such
speculative schemes and hold it guilt
less of punitive damages in the alb
sence of recklessness or malice when

If Silver Wins.

1t is interesting to follow Atlantic
seaboard talk respecting the money
question, now that conference is
probable. The Boston TrdCeler says
this: "If such a conference is held it
should be only with the clear determi-
nation by all, to abide by the decision.
If the world wishes gold alone, it
should have it free from the disturbing
agitation of any party, whether
founded in zeal for the public welfare
or in private interest. 1t follows, Of
necessity that if it wants both gold
and silver, or silver alone, the same
rules should apply. 1t is the very
essence of civilization that the pre-
Yailing conviction shall furnish the
rule of action"
Which is to say, we suppose, that, if
the proposed conference should happen
TO be for the restoration of silver, the
eastern press will stop its talk about
fanatics, fools, silver idiots, dishonest
dollars, and the like.

A Melancholy Ending.

Hung Chang impart romance to his
pilgrimage in quest of terms OF peace
for China.
lie has been thirty years in power.
lie accomplished wonders for his
country. He spread the boundaries Of
the Chinese empire. lie was success
full in military operations and in the
field of diplomacy. The misfortune is
chat his policy for railways and ships
and lines of telegraph and the up5uild-
ing of commerce did not prevail. lie
has lived to see all his work over
thrown and his country made an utter
ruin.
Japan can do as she likes with
China. Pekin stands unframed as
yet, but there is little doubt that if
they choose to do it, the japanese can
make complete their conquest of the
Chinese empire. Ii Hung Chang Is
an old man. lie is described to be
old, paralytic, his eyesight dim, the
members of his family dead, except a
poor stick of an adopted son.
A graphic writer says: "a great
empire was the greater for his work
and it has all come to nothing. Were
the French tricolor to be near Berlin
and Bismarck YEARLY seeking peace
at Paris, the tragedy were no less than
that set to-day with Ii Hung Chang a:

Castellane Assaulted by n "Liv Ing
Picture.
NEW YORK, March ia curious story
is being whispered about among friends
of Count de Castellane of a slap in the face
administered to the count in public by
an Infatuated chorus girl, who was one O (
the living pictures in "1492."
This actress and her sister were guests
at the house of a gentleman of noble title
in West 3lst street, and Count de Castel-
lane was there. The sister sat next him,
and during the greater part of the even
ing was engaged in an animated CONVEX
sation with the person who was on the
other side of her. Suddenly Castellaue, it
is alleged, spoke to her rather loudly, say
ing in substance he was not accustomed to
being treated in this off-hand manner
and he begged to request she would favor
him with more of her attention.
To this the girl replied that she was in
the habit of directing her conversation
where she pleased.
The count lost his temper completely
and made an offensive remark. The ac-
tress overheard it and saw her sisters
confusion. She arose from the table and
went over to the count.
"Will you repeat that remark you just
made to my sister,"
Certainly" said the count, and he
did SO.
Quick as a flash the actress hand was
raised and it came down on the counts
cheek with a resounding smack. He
jumped up, furious.
"If a man had done that" he exclaimed,
II would kill him."
She stood her ground, nothing daunted.
In a few moments the count left the

Five Men Murdered Near Rouse in
Colorado.
PUEBLO, Colo, March PA special TO
the Chieftdn from Walsenburg, small
town, IS miles south of Pueblo, says: A
mob in ambush, at Z 80 clock this even
ing, fired on a wagon containing nine
Italians who are charged with fatally
beating A. j. HiXon, a saloonkeeper at
Rouse, Sunday last. Four of the Italians
and the wagon driver were killed. The
prisoners, who had been lodged in the
Walsenburg Jail, were taken to the cor
oner's inquest at Rouse this afternoon.
At the concl Ision of the session for the
day the prisoners were loaded into the
wagon and started back to the jail.
AT Bear Creek, a region where there is
much underbrush, half a mile from
Walsenburg. the crack of a score of rifles,
presumably in the hands of miners, rang
out. Four of the prisoners, whose names
cannot be learned on account OF the ex-
citement, were instantly killed.
Joe Welby. n young American boy, who
was driving the wagon, was also killed.
| The officers returned the fire which lasted
/ Tor several minutes.
| The most intense excitement reigns.
| WalsenburG and Rouse are both off the
main line of the railroad and attempts to
secure further details have failed be-
cause the telegraph Offices are not open
at night
| The work of the mob was done to avenge
| n peculiarly brutal attack. At o'clock
| Monday morning two men en- route TO
work at Rouse discovered 4. j. HiXon,
proprietor of saloon, IN a dying condi-
ton about an eighth of mile from his
place of business. Mr.. Hixon had been
| struck on the back of the head with n blunt
weapon and was unconscious. He expired
within an hour. Ten days since, Il. j.
Brewer. pit boss of the Rouse mine, inn
ported trained blood Ind which was
promptly summoned. He took the officers
to the cabin of a number of Italians who
were arrested. Admissions of knowledge
| of the murder were secured from two OF
! them Immediately upon their arrest, and
later they divulged the names of seven
/ others who were with them, and they
charged Lorenzo Dinano with the murder.
| Threats of lynching Dinano were gener-
ally INDUCED in during the day. and quite
| n number of men we're scattered along
| the route to Walsenburg, but it was
thought there was scarcely a possibility
| that violence would be attempted.
