The Killing Of Henry Bruso.

The coroner's inquest over the re-
mains OF Henry Bruso, killed by
blow from club in the hands Of Ned
Sutherlin, seemed to make the defend
ants case appear in better light, says
the Roseburg Review. 1t appeared
from the testimony that Bruso had
struck Sutherlin hard enough to make
his nose bleed, George Nolta came
into the house after that and asked
Sutherlin what the matter was. Suth-
erlin said that Bruso had struck
him. Bruso then asked Nolta If he
wanted to take it up, and dragged him
out of doors. No one saw the blow
struck that crushed Bruso's skull; but
Sutherlin admitted striking him.

Work of the immigration Board.

The immigration board is now re-
ceiving about 50 letters of inquiry per
day, the replies to which involves a
large amount of labor. A personal
letter is dictated to every inquirer
Some ask that information be sent to a
number of their friends, which necssi-
tates the writing Of separate letters to
each. The board has only two type
writers employed at present, and, al
though they are probably the hardest
worked typewriters in the city, they
cannot keep up with the work. A
large amount of literature is alsc
mailed daily to those who write letters
of inquiry, aud several persons art
kept busy attending to this.-Ore

Murder and Suicide.

Seneca Falls, n. Y, March "a ter
rible tragedy occurred in this city to-
day. 1t was the murder of highly
respectable young girl, Miss Mary Man
sci, by Thomas PelkintOn, farm hand.
Pelkinton Immediately after the murder
and with the same weapon with VIII ich
he committed the murder, took his own
life. The young woman received two
bullets in the head, one entering the
brain.
Miss Mansel has for two years been
employed at the farmhouse of Edward
Mynderse, about a mile north of this
place, at which place Pelkinton had
been employed. From the time Pelkin-
ton met Miss Mansel he had been very
seeking to accompany her to
and from home and to church, although
the young lady had given him to under
stand many times that these attentions
were distasteful.

Washington, March IS.-Owing to the
indisposition of Mr.. Mills of Texas, who
had the floor on the subject, the Cuban
debate was not continued today.
An animated controversy arose over
the resolution of Mr.. Cannon rep, of
Utah) directing Secretary Smith to ex-
ecute the law for the public opening of
the Uncompahgre Indian reservation in
Utah. Mr.. Cannon said 100000 acres
were involved, and he wished this man
datory resolution to overcome the de-
lays of the secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Gordon responded that after con-
ference with Secretary Smith, ne had
learned that vast mineral wealth, par
ticularly asphalt, existed OF, these lands.
The secretary was DESTROYS of protecting
the government against rapacious per-
sons and corporations seeking to con-
troll these valuable deposits. He felt
that the government ought to receive
some benefits, instead of giving them to
some great corporation.
Mr.. Chandler asked why Mr.. Gordon
or the secretary did not ask to repeal
the law, instead of ignoring the law
There was some disposition to put off
the debate, but Mr. Wolcott protested
that Cuba and the Dupont case ought
not to crowd out all other subjects. The
new state of Utah ought to have a few
minutes concerning her interests The
senate thereupon adopted Mr.. Cannon's
motion to proceed with the considera-
ton of his resolution. He followed in a
sharp criticism O. the secretary of the
interior for failing to execute the law
The secretary's course was such, he
said, as to ultimately pat lands into the |
hands of monopoly instead of opening
hem to the whole public.
Mr.. Wolcott added that the lands be-
onged to the public, and should not be
,ept from the prospectors, who were en-
outraged by the government and would
pen these vast tracts and make them

Sir Machael Hicks-Beach's statement
he said, was worthy of his opposition
and will be understood in Germany as
well as in America. 1t was not credit
able that there should be any doubt re-
garding England's views on this SUBJECT.
In his opinion the resolution (of Mr..
Whitely) was the euthanasia of bimet-
alism.
Proceeding then to argue that the fall
of prices was due to other causes than
the appreciation of gold, he warned the
country against altering midas cur
rency system, which he said was with
out doubt most suitable for her. The
adoption of bimetaiism would place
England at the mercy of monetary
zollverein and would more effectually
injure British commerce than anything
that could be done on the high seas.
Mr.. Arthur Balfour, the first lord of
the treasury, whose sentiments in favor
of bimetalism is well-known, repliee to
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, saying
that nothing could persuade him that it
was in conformity with civilization and
common sense that we should tolerate
the present inconvenient and ruinous
system. He regarded the resolution as
an indication that England was pre-
pared to bear her fair share in establish
ing an international agreement for the
use of both metals in the currency on a
reasonable basis, just to debtor, and
creditor alike.
Mr.. Whiteiy's resolution was then
adopted without a division.

Salt Lake City, March I6.-The PEG
pie of Cedar City have offered to grade
and tie ten miles of the proposed road
for nothing. Further, they agree to
grade and tie ten miles more for bonds
of the road.
The company is receiving letters
every day from men in the southern

road will double and quadruple their
property, and they will donate half they
have to secure its construction.
With the passing of each dasrei int

Mr.. Vests Criticism.

Mr. Vest followed in criticism of the
sccretary's course. "There was a time, u
said Mr.. Vest, when a cabinet officer
who violated law would be brought
before the bar of this senate"
"This reservation" said the senator,
contained the greatest beds of asphalt
tum in existence-sufficien to supply
this country for centuries. A law was
passed directing the opening of these
lands, but the secretary of the interior
nullihed it. 1t was nullifed on the ex-
cuse that congress did not know what
it was about The secretary's course
was in behalf of rich investors, who
were the only ones who could bid on a
pnblic auction of the lands"
Mr. Vest said he had protested per
sonally to Secretary Smith, and had told
him the entire western interest would
oppose his plan, and that no western
man would propose it to congress.
Thereupon, Secretary Smith answered
that he would get friend from Georgia
to introduce it.
~ am sorry to say" said Mr. Vest,
but there seems TO be q disposition on
the part of the present administration to
treat the western people as if they were
in a condition of pupilage, that they did
not know their own rights and their /
own interests, and that they must be in
formed, ex-cathedra, from the east in re-
gard to what's best for them and what
should be done for them Even the
president of the United States lately, on
a missionary occasion laughter spoke
Of the west as the land of immortality
and Grim He stood with the CHASTITY
light of the hell-holes of the rum sellers
Of New York blasting upon him, and
said home missions must be
lsed to civilize and Christianize the
men who have left their homes in the
civilized east and gone out among the
Mountains and valleys of the wild and
vooly west. Laughter.
Our president stood, with Rev. Dr.
'almage on one side and the Rev.
sheldon Jackson on the other, and gave
S a new version of that blessed mis- q
ionery hymn which we have heard so
ften in our childhood:
From Montana's sinful mountains, 4,
From Utah's wicked plains,
They call us to deliver
Our land from errors chains.
There was long and loud laughter as il

ltense sarcasm.

Republicans Refusing to Vote.

Frankfort, Ky, March I2.-The one
thing that seems to be settled by today S
doings in the joint assembly is that
Kentucky viii have but one representa-
tive in the United States senate from
March 4, 1897, when Senator Blackburn's
rerm expires, until at least January,
1898, when the next legislature can
meet and fill the vacancy.
There was no lack Of apprehension of
renewal danger of an outbreak. Mayor
Julian, with a force of police, cleared the
rotunda of mere curiosity seekers, but
in the cloakrooms and elsewhere were
enough men to do much harm if occa-
sion had arisen. Perhaps the apprehen-
sion of difficulty tended to produce I'M
usual self-restraint, and so the scene
ended without other turmoil than that
Of debate.
The newly-installed republican in the
house did not qualify before the joint
met, and so was not a factor.
The republicans adopted the tactics of
breaking the quorum and thus brought |
rom Lieutenant Governor Worthington
he ruling that seventy members con-
ititute quorum necessary to elect 4 |
senator. So long as this ruling stands
10 election can be had except by break
ng over party lines.

Governor Bradley has refused to order
special session and the state is in
bad way.

down today, and offered report that

peach him for usurpation of office, and
impose both fine and imprisonment, re-

report finds thai the militia was not

If 90 cent silver dollars should double
the prices of farm products, it is quite
as certain that the prices Of all the
products which the farmer consumes
would double in the same way. In that
case 1t is not easy to see how the farmer
would gain anything by the free coinage
of silver. Even the wages of labor, the
last to rise in an epoch of deprecated
currency and inflated prices, would
finally, after much distress of the work
ingmen, straggle up to the common
level
But whether the farmer should re-
ceive 800 for 100 bushels Of wheat and
pay out 500 for the necessaries Of living
or should receive 5000 for the same
wheat and pay out $3.50, in both cases
the balance on hand would have Just
the same purchasing power. But in ac-
complishing the degradation Of the
monetary standard, which could do
neither the farmer nor the wage Garner
any good, an enormous depreciation Of
values and confscation Of accumulated
earnings, involving public and private
credit in a maelstrom Of destruction,
would inevitably ensue. Are the farm
ers and workingmen Of the country will
ing to invoke such a catastrophe9-

Therefore, whatever may be the
view of the voter on this question of
the money. it should not interfere
with an intelligent consideration of
other questions which are involved
in the election of a Congressman.
Il should be said, however, in this
connection that the Republican can
didate for Congress stands for the
maintenance of the present money
of the Country.
The very life of the people of this
district depends upon the vast man
ufacturing, mining and agricultural
interests which abound in the Dis
trict. These require fit and ade-
quate representation at Washington.
Applicants for pensions, petitioners
for governmental attention in what
ever form it may arise demand the
presence and active work of Con-
gressman with influence in the sew
eral departments of government.
With no intention to reflect upon
the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, is it not conceded equally by
friend and political foe that JUDGE
KIRKPATRIcK combines in himself all
the qualities requisite for the duties
of congressman to represent this
District in Congress? He is a train
ed lawyer, with the ability to at
once take prominent position on
the floor as we'll as the committees
of Congress. He is a student of poll
tical questions and has the most in
telligent comprehension of the needs
of this District In addition to this
and which is not the least import
ant, he has long been in public life
and has the acquaintance and know
ledge of public men, whereby he
would have weight and influence as
a Congressman.
Every thinking voter should give
this matter the most earnest and
serious consideration. This is not
the time to allow mere party feeling
to influence one. 1t matters little
whether there is one more or less
Republican Congressman in the next
Congress. But it is of the most vi
tai importance to the people of this
district that they should be repre-
sented fitly, intelligently and effec-
lively in that Congress.
