A Few Snap Shots at an Endless Pro-
eession.
OF course the recent elections have
attracted more attention than any
thing else in the grand circus parade
we are engaged in watching. The
Populists were not particularly con-
cerned as to which old party won
since one is as bad as the other,
and worse. We are interested in edu-
eating the people upon certain prin-
ciples, but what the boys out of school
do we are not responsible for. Let
the play go on as it will. The Pop1-
lists are busy educating and organis-
ing for the coming revolution at the
ballot-box in 1896.
Government by injunction" is be-
ing improved upon. The Great North
ern railroad, which is raising private
army of thugs and ex-poiicernen to
make war on its employees, ordered the
court to issue an Injunction, which
was of course Immediately issued
but the peculiar urgency Of the case

The democratic party ran up against
it's promises to the people and broke its

EX-G0V. PORTER ON SILVER
DOES NOT THING 1T WILL BE A
FACTOR NEXT ELECTION.
Sentiment in Indiana Not So Strong
in Favor of Currency Expansion
Governor Matthews May BE Z,
Presidential Candidate.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Ex-Governor Al
bert G.. Porter, of Indiana, Is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. Mr.. Porter has Just re-
turned from a three months trip to the
Atlantic coast N search OF rest. Among
other things ne said in an interview:
Taking Indiana, or in fact. taking all
the western states as a unit. l do not
doubt that they are predisposed to the
expansion of the currency. That is a pc
culiar fact in connection with the period
of business depression. Then the public as
a rule is IN favor of increasing the cur
rency so that rybOdy can have money
AS times get better this feeling dies out
and / hardly think that the free silver
agitation will prove so much of Il factor
in the next national election"
In reply to d. question regarding the re-
ports that Governor Matthews is a posi-
bic candidate for the nomination on The
Democratic national ticket next year and
the governor would have the support of
the Indiana. delegation in the next Demo-
cratic national convention, Mr.. Porter ar
gued: II think it is probable that he will
receive the support of the state delegation
in the convention. He is popular and has
been prudent.

DEMAND GOLD.
do NOT ACCEPT DEPRECATED
CURRENCY
Such the Tenor of Circular Sent
to Old Soldiers of Topeka-Said
to Be BimetaIIists; Also Part of
SOyereign's Scheme.

TOPEKA, Kas., Aug. 5.-The follow
ing circular was distributed among the
old soldiers of Topeka and Shawnee
county who today visited the United
States pension office to draw their
quarterly allowance from the govern
ment:
Comrades. Halt. You are entitled
to gold in payment of your check. De-
mand ii. Do not accept deprecated
currency"
The pensioners are paid by checks,
which are cashed at the Topeka banks.
This circular was evidently prepared
by a bimetallist who wants to show
that there is not enough gold in the
banks to pay the pensioners alone,
aside from doing the other business of
the country.
1t has also been suggested that this
may be part of the Sovereign boycott
of national bank notes. 1t is not
known who delivered the circular.
Over 500 pension checks were paid by
the bank of Topeka today, only two
men asking for gold. One was a Gus
toner and was given the yellow metal
The other was somewhat insolent and
was told to get out of the bank. PreSi-
dent ]. R. Mulvane, of the Bank of
Topeka, said: I'VE generally pay most
of the pensioners in gold as it is more
convenient when we are rushed. but
this circular which was distributed
among the pensioners is diabolical.
We do not charge these veterans any
thing for collecting their money. The
government does not keep any money
deposited with us, so you can see how
foolish it is that this circular should
be sent out to the soldier telling him
to demand gold.

over the fight up in City Creek canyon.
At one time he would say he had been
waiting fof a chance to surrender
without getting shot, at another he
would make a more belhgerent re-
mark. Once he said to the men:
Boys, if there had been only two or
four of you, I'd have taken chances.

nonchalently that he hadn't waited to

he came in contact. He seemed to take
the whole thing as a joke. He made
several very bloodcurdling threats, say
ing that he only wanted to get at De-

the Tribune reporter Who wrote the
account of the shooting near Evanston
and that he would like to batter in the
head of the man who started out with
the two and then deserted.

should see them except the officers un-
til they were safely landed within the
walls of the county Jail.

sible in order to catch a glimpse of

and it was impossible for them to get
anything satisfactory.
Otherwise the trip was without in
cident of any kind.

THE OUTLAWS TN JAIL.

AS these men could not cover the
whole valley the outlaws passed them.
The Grantsville officers did not
think the men would make their way
in the direction of the Fenstenmaker
ranch. They rather believed they
would push out east and north of
Grantsville, toward the ranch of
Casino. who was recently arrested
for cattle stealing. From there it was
thought they would round the point
Of the Stansbury range and make off
into Skull valley Therefore the
watch was not SO strict off toward
the west and south.
The First Information.
The first authentic information of
Grantsville late on Sunday night. 1t
appears that after taking off in the
swale in the direction of the Fenster-
maker ranch, the boys eNher desired
to miss whatever officers might be
guarding the front approaches to 1.-THE
ranch, or that they missed their way.
They had evidently stopped in the
cedars there until it was nearly dark,
in order to avoid their being seen.
They emerged just before dark and
rode boldly up the South Willow
canyon, which is four miles north of
the Box Elder canyon in which the
Fenstermaker ranch is situated. After
riding up the South Willow canyon
about five miles, they came to the
Third Term mine, one in which De-
tective Paul of this city is interested.
There they succeeded in getting sup

THE MASSACRE CONDEMNED.
Large Meeting of European Resi-

SHANGHAI, Aug. Sat a crowded
meeting today of European residents
in this city. speeches condemning the
action of the Chinese authorities in
the case of the massacre of mission
aries at What Hon near Eu Cheng,
Thursday last, were made and a reso-
luton adopted to appeal directly to
the European governments against the
outrage. The resolution also referred
to the inadequate manner in which
China dealt with the perpetrators of
former outrages.
The correspondent of the Times at
Shanghai says the missionaries killed
at Eu Cheng were murdered by an or
ganized mob of eight of the vegetar-
ians. The correspondent says: The
ladies begged for their lives, promising
to yield their property and valuables.
but the leader of the band shouted out
his orders to kill them outright
A corrected list Of the victims is as
follows:
