Too BAD.

One OF those sad and unfortunate oc.
currentes which are due to the fraiIty of
human nature, involving two highly
respected and esteemed citizens. hap
pened on Thursday OF last week. A dis
pute arose between Flue Smith, proprie-
tor OF the Eastern Hotel, and William
Kahn, for years the trusted book-keeper
OF Dean & Co.. in the Office of the COM
pany. High words over a business tran
sactlon led 20 personal encounter, and
results were serious. In the melee both
were badly injured. Mr.. Smith bit Mr..
RAINS thumb, lacerating it badly, and
Mr.. Rain struck Mr.. Smith on the head
with piece of iron-a casting which
was at hand, and it was at first feared
that the skull had been fractured. He
was knocked senseless, his scalp badly
cut. anu for several days he was deliri-
Gus. An old chronic complaint set in,
and ever since the occurrence he has been
in precarIous condition. Who was
most at fault it is not for the HERALD
to say-it does not know. That neither
are free from it is generally conceded. 1t
is case of temper getting the better of
ljudgnent-and both are sufferers, The
public, as too prone to such cases, has
excused or condemned beyond reason,
influenced by prejudice rather than rea-
son; the friends of the one attributing
are the blame to the other, and vice
versa. 1t is sincerely hoped that the
experience purchased at such an awful
cost may be effective as restraining
Influence alike to both.
LATER-Mr. Smith is improving, and
is not considered in danger.

OUR RAHING RAVEN.

The versatile editor of the Newport r.
l., Herald. has the folio wing alIusion to
that pessimistic philosopher and prophet
ofevil, Ignatius Donnelly, and who shall
fsay that it does not sum up the brilliant
cratic fairly.
IgnatiDs Donnely has not lived long in
the alleged wild and woody west with
out having learned thing or two. One
OF the things he has learned is to talk
after the short-stop manner OF hunted
Indian Chief. The other day he address
ed the Farmers Alliance of Minnesota.
Tor all the world as if they were coun-
Gil OF pale faces. Listen to him:
my friends. We are gathered here in
the shadow ofcalamity. We can't make
money or borrow money. Our energies
are torpid. dying; onr enemies have
dried up the life of the nation. The sad
ness OF our lives is in our faces and our
records. Who has brought about this
state OF affairs! 1t is the money lenders.
They are the owners OF the world and
they SIT upon the safety valve. believe
II the silver question were submitted to
the people of Minnesota to-day, indie
pendent OF politics, three quarters of the
PSOPiC WOufQ vote Tor 1t.
There are those who saw Mr.. DonneI1x
IS troubled with torpid liver, which he
mistakes for the shadow of calamity.
In brief review OF Mr. Donnely's war
dance speech a Boston contemporary
remarks that there is considers bic Of
his fool talk to be heard just now. It
adds:
An attempt is being maIe to per-
suade certain sections of the country
that certain other sections are arraved
against them and that all that is neces-
sary to improve the situation is to wipe
out the capitalists. bore into the mines
and divide the plumber. Then hard
work would be abolished and every day
would be Sunday. What Ignatius Dom
nelly and reformers of this stamp want
is license to steal. but it will not be
granted this year."
lgnatius Donnely may be recalled to
the minds OF men through the fact that
he1s the iconoclastic image-breaker that
attempted to discredit Shakespeare as
the author OF Sh ikespeare's works, and
boom certain great philosopher and
lord chancellor. Ignatius can never
shake that patchwork mantle from
his shoulders. If the ne W Poet Laureate
was directed to express in verse the
Queens sense of the Minnesota mans
performance, the last lines would prob
ably read thus:
TO IGNATICS.
You may break the old cryptogram If
you will,
But the smell of the Bacon will Iinser
