WIFE MURDER.

We are sorry to see that Kentucky
iury has disgraced itself by sending
John Carson to the penitentlary for SIX
wears for killing his wife. If it was an
accident he ought not to have been pun
ishcd for an hour, but if he killed his
wife in the heat of passion or with mai
ice aforethought he ought to have been
hanged. We are not individually in
favor of capital punishment, but if we
were on a jury trying a man for killing
his wife, if the killing was not an acct
dent, we would hang that jury or hang
that man. A man is doubly guilty
who kills a woman or even raises his
hand in anger against n woman, but
man is more than doubly guilty who
kills his wife. He owes her the same
or even higher protection than that he
owes himself, and he ought TO hang for
killing her nine times nine if he had
that many lives. 1t is the basest and
most cowardly thing any man can do
and the man guilty of ii is past praying
for, either for this world or the next.
1t would really reconcile us to the
doctrine of everlasting punishment in a
lake of fire and birthstone if we knew
that it would be the eternal punishment
of every wife murderer. A man who
would kill his wife must be brute
without soul if he ever had one. Ian
guagc fails to express our detestatiOr
and horror of such crime, and we
fear Kentucky, where such Il jury was
found has degenerated in devotion tC
the most sacred tie on EARTH that OF
husband and wife. A man owes his wife
not only protection from his own vile
passions and brutal nature, but from ev
cry cold or hot wind that blows. She
ought to be, as thank God she is t.
many men, the very apple of his eye
that thing hurtful should never be per
mitted to touch, and if a man has true
manliness she will be that to him
And he will protect her joyfully will
his own life. But the brute who viii
deliberately murder his own wife de
serves no mercy here or hereafter. We
do not believe we could pray for sucl
a murderer, at least we would not like
to be tested.

MEETING OF EMPERORs,

Stettin, Sept. 8. - Emperor William
left the place at o'clock this morning
to witness the army maneuyres. The
Prince Itel Frederick, second son of
Emperor William, met Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria-Hungary upon his ar
rival at Potsdam today and drove with
him to the new palace, where the en-
peror was entertained at luncheon by
Empress Augusta Victoria. The en-
peror of Austria then proceeded to Stet-
tin.
Emperor William was at the Saxony
station to welcome Emperor Francis
Joseph upon his arrival there. An i'm
posing guard of honor, including depu-
tation from the Austrian emperor's ger
man regiment, attended Emperor Will
liam to the station.
After greetings had been exchanged the
imperial party inspected the guard of
honor. They then drove back to the
city The thoroughfares through which
they passed were densely crowded, and
troops lined the streets. The two empe-
rors were greeted with vociferous cheers
as they passed along.

EDITOR VS.. CONGRESSMAN.

Congressman Quigg, member of con-
gress from the city of New York, mas
announced his intention of resigning his
seat in congress. Mr.. Quigg is the edi-
for of the press" a daily newspaper
unfinished in New York, and very SEN
sibly has concluded that he can do any
cause he advocates more good as an edl-
tor than he can as congressman.
An editor of any newspaper, of even
limited circulation, can do more good
than n congressman, unless the congress
man is a great leader of his party, and
if the purpose of an editor is to do good
he would not exchange his place for a
seat in congress; but if an editor is not
conscientious he had better be con
gresham.
A writer who is called upon daily to
embody current thought and give 1t
impetus and the right direction, or
what he honestly believes the right di-
rection, must necessarily WELD vast
mower. Men engaged in business are
generally too much absorbed in it to
investigate questions for themselves and
they are generally Influenced in their
conclusions on all public questions by
n favorite newspaper. Perhaps they
have been reading the same paper for
wears and they have found it was at
heart honest in its opinions, and if in
diligently expressed, they are very like
" TO follow the lead Of that paper. II
business men know from experience that
an editor is honest and intelligent the
newspaper naturally has an advantage
in moulding the opinion of such men.
In this way the power of the press is
bcvond estimate. 1t influences more
men right or wrong than a dozen con-
gressmen, and its opinions can be more
safely trusted than the opinions of con-
gressmen. 1t is cOnscentiously at
tempting to lead men in the paths of pub
lie virtue and true governmental prin-
ciples, while the congressman is con-
scientiously O. attempting to lead men
TO the polls with ticket with his name
at the head.
OF the two positions Mr.. Quigg has
chosen well and wisely, although the
choice of the newspaper involves more
work, as it is well known. that the posi-
ton of writing editor on a daily news
paper is the most combining and laborious
IF all other occupations. 1t is so trying
IN the nervous system and makes such
regular daily drafts on the intellect
IF the editor that he would soon break
down but for a fascination it has about
It that leads the victim to the tripod with
the silken cords of love for his profess
sion. The fascination is double in its
Effects on him. He soon becomes de-
,irous to catch all the news fresh from
The wire and it is a source of happiness
10 him to know that thousands of men
md women are daily in rapport with him
through the thoughts that muster line
after line and column after column on
the pages of the newspaper.

DREW HIS STEEL.
Slashed His Wife to Death, Terrorized a
Neighborhod and Cut His Throat.

Indianapolis, Sept. 0.-Leon Rocker a
moulder employed at the indianapolis
Car works, murdered his wife tonight by
to kill Mrs. Emma PEGS, slashing hel
about the head and face with razor,
making wounds from which it is believed
she will not recover. Mrs. Pees ran
screaming into the street, covered with
blood. She presented terrible ap-
pearance and crowds of excited people
quickly gathered: Rocker made an at
tempt to escape and stepped to the front
door with the bloody razor in his hand.
Seeing that it would be impossible to do
so, he made q remark about killing the
first man who attempted to lay hands on
him and then cut his own throat. The
act was witnessed by a number of per-
sons. The blood spurted from the
wound and the man staggered about for a
few minutes. The crowd started for
him, but he rose and held them at bay
with a razor. He left the house and
crowd. When Elizabeth street was
reached he jumped on street car, where
he was captured by policeman.
Mrs. Rocker, after receiving the terri
BILE wound, started for the city hospital
which is only a short distance from the
scene of the tragedy. After taking a
few steps she fell and died in few min
utes.
Rocker and Mrs. PEGS had in the mean,
time been taken to the hospital and the
doctors believe that both are fatally
injured.
Jealousy was the cause of the crime
Rocker believed his wife. from whom
he was separated, was not living as she
| should, and he resolved to kill her The
crime was premedtated and he lay in
wait all afternoon for the opportunity
which came about o'clock.

CHRONIC MALARIA.
Three Forms of Chronic Malaria, But An
are Equally Difficult to Cure.

There are three kinds of chronic mala.
ria. namely, that form which originate
was contracted in a malarial district
as simple chills and fever-acute malaris
and when the swamps were improved
and the germs became nearly extinct
the disease became chronic. The second
form is caused by continuing to live
in malarial districts, in spite of the ma.
laria, and acquiring. the chronic form.
although taking quinine all the time
THE third is that disease which many peo.
ME acquire every fall when they are
not entirely we'll in other ways. The
symptoms of these three forms of chron.
ic malaria are exactly the same: chilly
rigors, coated tongue, bad breath, dis.
turbed digestion, constant headache, con.
situation, biliousness, and many other
symptoms which the malarial subject
knows all too well.
Now, in nearly all of these cases the
patients have tried quinine, expecting to
he cured; but in every case have been
disappointed. Quinine will not cure
chronic malaria. How many failures
have demonstrated this fact over and
over again. But there is remedy which
rarely fails to cure promptly and perma-
nently. 1t has cured thousands of cases
of chronic malaria and is curing them
right along. This remedy is Pe-ru-na.
1t can be procured at any drug store,
and should be given trial by every one
who is suffering from chronic malaria.
A medical book devoted exclusively to
| the treatment, causes and cure of this
| disease-chrOnic malaria-will be sent

Ambrose Bierce in the Examiner says:
Every enlargement of the powers and
purposes of the State is step away
from anarchy and in the direction of
socialism-pure socialism,"
That may be true, for anarchy pur-
poses to destroy every power of the
State, but its tendency towards social
ism, where paternal government takes
possession Of all the property acquired
by the labor of the few is just as bad as
anarchy in its results, the destruction of
all good government is accomplished.
In every good government its func-
tons are as limited as possible, consist
ent with the protection of the life and
enjoyment of property by those who
have worked for and accumulated it.
Socialism and anarchy are different in
their ostensible purposes, but the same
thing, the destruction of all good gov
ernment, is the resultant of both.

church are missing series of the most
educational Christian sermons that have
ever been preached in this city. DR..
Solomon, the pastor in charge, is preach
ing the most comprehensive and logical
sermons that are opening up new fields
of thought most interesting to all who
are concerned about religion. The
Rev. Anton Rector, who is assisting
him and who is well known in this
city, is also preaching sound sermons,
sustained by forcible illustration and
argument and having in them that ire
sistible element Of responsiveness that
is forcing the Indifferent to serious
thought. This is the third week of the
meeting and it has grown in attendance
and interest from the start. 1t will
close this week. and those who have not
availed of the opportunity to hear these
earnest Christian ministers should not
neglect to attend from today until the
close. Services are held each day, in
the afternoon at 4:30 o'clock and in the
evening at o'clock.
