DEAD AGAINST CARTER.

AS disturbing element in the repub-
lican party Mr.. Carter's speech appears
TO be assuming larger and larger pro-
portions. Things have reached a point
where the big contributors to the ma
tional campaign fund are making Sc
rious threats. The republican press of
the East is unanimous in demanding
Carriers retirement from the national
committee. and If he does not get out
''or IL any compromise is made with the
silverites at st. Louis" as the New
York Journal puts it, 1.-The New York
financiers who have put up the money
to run campaigns since politics became
almost as expensive as war, will lock
up their check books and throw in but
tons when the contribution box is
passed.
Among the men most active in urging
that Carter be ousted are specified
the members of the chamber of COM
merce special committee selected to ad-
vocate the adoption of a gold standard.
They are pledged by a resolution adopt
ed last week to endeavor to get the st.
Louis and Chicago conventions to adopt
anti-free silver platforms 1t is under
stood that one of the persuasive meth
DDS TO be adopted will be the giving of
an intimation that IL either party
adopts anything but a straightout gold
platform IL will receive little financial
campaign. On account of their stand
ing in the business world, the members
of the chamber of commerce are in a
position to control campaign contribu-
tions, and II is claimed that they will
use their power to have Carter pun
ished.
Among the heavy contributors to the
republican campaign funds. the Jour
nal names j. Pierpont Morgan, who
can usually be counted on in a presi-
Dental election for about $4,000; Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt. who gives about the
same as Mr.. Morgan: Chauncey Depew.
Cornelius n. Bliss, ID. o. Mills and John
A. Stewart. They are all strong advo-
Gates of a gold monetary basis and
none but Mr.. Depew could be counted
on for a contribution in case any recog-
milton were given TO the silverites. In
addition to these. there are many men
like Henry w. Cannon. president of
the Chase National bank. and A. b.
Hepburn, president Of the Third Ma
tional, who have hitherto used their in
fiuence to get contributions TO cam
paign funds. and who will not do so IL
Senator Carter remains at the head OF
the national committee. or II any silver
coloring is given to the party platform.

MODERN SPIRITUALISM.

The National Association OF Spirit
ualists has just been holding an annual
convention in New York city. and the
reports Of meetings appearing in the
New York press have been more or less
exhaustive. According TO the ladies
and gentlemen who took part in the
proceedings, spiritualism is doing a
great deal for the world: more indeed
we infer, than all other agencies com
bined. One speaker blithely announced
that "spiritualism has done more in the
fifty years of it's life than Christianity
has in the 1886 years IL has been in
existence" From the address OF an
other speaker. we gather that spirit
ualism has had a terrible fight with
Ignorance and superstition" but Is
coming out grandly victorious and ere
long will sweep ignorance and supersti-
tion into the sea.
One man had the audacity to sug-
gest that possibly there was some little
ignorance and superstition in the ranks
Of the spiritualists themselves. He was
promptly and properly Kissed Ortho-
dox spiritualists can tolerate no such
admitting genuine mediumship, went on
to declare that "a very large majority
of the reports published in the spirit
ualistic press are unworthy of credence.
The reports alone are enough to disgust
a man of fair critical ability. II spirits
have run the movement they must have
almost run II into the ground" These
extraordinary remarks were considered
a direct affront to the convention. and
their author was severely sat upon.
What chiefly concerns the general
public in connection with the proceed
ings of the convention. is the platform
of principles adopted. II deals not only
with religion. but goes into politics and
science. The first plank enunciates the
doctrine Of spiritualism. affirming that
1.-The laws OF spirit progress and evoIu-
ton manifest in this life are not inter
rupted or suspended by dissolution of
the physical body, and that advance
ment comes only by and through indiv-
idual efforts" This being made a mat
ter Of religious faith. 1t is not within
the province OF a newspaper TO offer
any criticism upon IL. The second
plank urges all spiritualists TO use their
influence to elect men who will be true
to American principles the American
constitution and the American fag-a

platform protests against the introduce
ton OF any reference TO God or Jesus

gems.

PROGRESS OF CRANKS.

Two or three weeks ago there came a
very pretty story from San Francisco
of a brave butler. who. at the immi-
nent risk of his own life. killed a burg
lar in the act. thereby saving his
wealthy employers Jewels and receiv-
ing bullet wound in the neck. The
San Francisco newspapers. with char
acteristic enterprise. made much OF the
story and the butler. but the detectives
were not altogether satisfied. In fact
the skepticism of the police has reached
a point where they openly avow the
opinion that the butler. for the sole
purpose Of posing as a hero. lured a
tramp into his employers house and
there deliberately killed him. Then, TO
make II appear that he had risked his
life in defense OF the property, with his
thumb and forefinger he stretched
out the skin on the left side
OF his neck and shot a bull
let through the extended cuticle. Then
he swooned in a pool OF blood and
awaited glory. The character OF the
wound in the neck, IL is said, can only
be explained on this theory Many other

ITALY AND ABYSSINIA.

The Italian defeat at Adowa in Abys-
In loss of life 1t was the greatest battle
of recent years. Yesterdays dispatches
bring the number of killed, wounded
and missing up to 10000. Whole batal-
lions are said to have been annihilated.
Italy, of course. is in a fever of rage
and evaporation. The blame for the
disastrous campaign is laid upon the
ministry, and the talk is that Crispi
and his associates in the cabinet must
resign. This man Crispi is an adroit
and able fellow. He is the Bismarck OF
Italy He will not resign without a
struggle. and IL he should step down.
either through compulsion or as a
matter of policy. he will play his cards
with a view of being speedily recalled
TO his post.
While the humane world will feel
sorrow over the death of so large
number OF presumably brave men and
express sympathy for their families,
the defeat of the Italian army will not
inspire deep and universal regret. The
cause for which Italy was fighting was
not a glorious one-it can hardly be
called an honest one. AS the Standard
stated yesterday, Italy was trying to
establish a protectorate over Abys-
sinia against Abyssinia's will. In other
words. Italy was carrying on a war of
conquest She was trying to take
hand in the African game, and Abys-
sinia was the only country left open
for the adventure.
Abyssinia has an area of 100000
square miles, or about as much as
Montana and Idaho combined. Her
population is about 1900, 900. The coun-
try is favorably situated in Eastern
Africa, rising from the Red Sea and
sloping back to the fertile Nile and
fts tributaries. Abyssinia is said TO
enjoy probably as salubrious a eli
mate as any country on the face of the
globe. The people are chiefly engaged
in agricultural and pastoral pursuits
They export gold. ivory, coffee. butter.
honey and wax, and the principal i'm
ports are lead. tin. copper. silk, gun
powder and colored cloths In civiliza-
rion they are not very far advanced
They early adopted the Christian re-
ligion. but in a crude and corrupt form.
Various European nations have at
different times attempted TO subjugate
Ayssinia. England. of course. tried 1t
on and in 1867 after a series Of battles
met with apparent success: but in the
following year England gave II up as
a bad job. her troops abandoned the
country permanently. and the indie

listed from the time OF the Ptolemies.

Investigation Into the Cause of the Death
of John Mu ply.

of John Mu ply
Coroner Richards commenced an in
vestigation at the Butte undertaking
rooms last night into the death OF John
Murphy, who fell from a b., A. & p.
excursion train that was coming up
from Gregson springs a week ago last
Sunday morning and sustained fatal
injuries. o. n. Boyle testified that he
was on the platform with Murphy
when he fell off. He said that Murphy
was drunk and that the train gave a
sudden lurch and he fell off head fore
most.
All of the train crew testified that
when Murphy fell off, the train was
running smoothly on perfectly
straight track and that there was no
iurch OF the train. They said that
when they picked him up his breath
smelled strongly OF liquor. DIR. Murray
stated that Murphy was partially un-
der the influence OF liquor when he was
brought TO the hospital The inquest
was continued until o'clock this after
noon in order TO secure more witnesses.

circumstances in connection with the
alleged burglary tend to confirm this
view OF the case.
Instances of such abnormal love OF
notoriety are by no means rare. on the
contrary they are becoming very COM
mon. Sensational journalism no doubt
is the principal cause Of the increase Of
this particular species of paranoia. If
the paranoiacs would only appease
their hunger for fame with suicide, So
ciety would not suffer. But murder is
always bad business.

that is all right. too.
But the platform of the spiritualists
reaches its climax in the following:
Resolved, that we demand the re-
peal Of all laws which have caused the
arrest and Imprisonment of mediums,
medicine, as we believe IL a constitu-
tionaI right to employ such physicians
as we please" After this enunciation
of constitutional rights. there is moth
ing more to be said. We only wonder
that the spiritualists didn't demand the
repeal of all laws of whatsoever name
and nature. and the placing of society
on an absolutely anarchial basis.

Poet Laureate Austin has been re-
ceiving about as many hard knocks
from parliament as Secretary of Agri-
culture Morton got from congress. II
Mr.. Austin is as sensitive as poets are
commonly supposed to be. he is not
finding the laureateship a delectable
possession. One member of the house
of commons suggested the desirability
Of submitting the political utterances
of the poet laureate previous to publi-
cation to the lord chamberlain or some
other minister of the crown. Another
member thought that the laureate's
utterances were privileged because the
Office he held was substituted for the
old one of court jester or kings fool.
In fact. they had all sorts of fun with
Mr.. Austin. and roasted him to a turn.
Curiously enough. now comes Max Nor
dau and pronounces Alfred Austin a
poet of the highest and best type.
