Some Of our friends are of the
opinion that we bear down rather
hard on the two old parties; we
have this to say, that it makes
no difference what party, clique,
or organization is guilty of NAL
feasance, or Of direliction Of duty,
or of passing measures not calcu-
lated to benefit the people as a
whole, they should be shown up
honestly and fearlessly; and as
our country has been cast into
the hands of the "Shylocks,"
who are demanding the bond"
or the pound of flesh,' we pro
pose, without fear or favor, to do
our level best for humanity, and
feel confident that the people
who read our editorials will
stand by us. We are not fight
ing men, nor parties, please re
member this; but we are fighting
Tor the principles that if obtained,
would rebound to the honor and
glory of the people of This crum-
bling republic; would put the
wheels OF commerce in motion.
and cause our prolific country to
make rapid strides ON the road
to a boundless prosperity.

Lieut.. Amiss Deemed Guiitless of III
treating f. j. Forrest.
The case OF Edward j. Forrest, who
charges Lieut.. Amiss with illtreating him
while prisoner in the First precinct, was
brought up before the police trial board at
the Sixth precinct station this morning.
Forrest was arrested on warrant sworn
out by his brother-in-law, some time ago,
charging him with perjury in the divorce
case which was brought gainst Forrest by
his wife last spring.
Forrest alleges that as ne was unable TO
get bail, he was locked up in cell and un-
derwcnt illtreatment not accorded the most
hardened criminal, His specific charges
against Lieut.. Amiss were that the latter
refused to admit Forests friends to see
him, and he was denied the privilege OF
communicating with his relatives.
He further stated that he was searched
at the station and all his possessions taken
from him. He also said that he was refused
food and had to go hungry during his i'm
prisonment.
Detectives Gallaher and Carter testified
20 the kindly treatment accorded by Lieut..
Amiss to prisoners under him, and the Of
.icers at the station told of the manner of
searching prisoners.
Forrest was represented by W. c. Gle
phane, and the arguments OF the young at
.orney did not convince the trial board
that the lieutenant was the bloOdthirsty
tyrant the charges alleged. The case was
dismissed.

HUNTING FOR THE PASTOR
Rewards 0fsred for the Capture Of
Rev. Francis Hermann.
He Is Believed TO Be in the Vicinity
OF Cleveland, OhiO-Further Evt-

Cleveland, Ohio, May 2T.-word was
received by the police of this city lastnight
that Rev. Francis Hermann, the preacher.
wanted at Salt Lake City for the murders
of Miss Clausen and Miss samuelson, had
started from Chicago for this city tvs
weeks ago.
Every pastor OF Hermdnn's nationality
was visited, but no trace was found of the
alleged murderer, though there was an
underlined idea that such a man had visited
some of the Scandinavian Methodists.
salt Lake City, Utah, May 27.-The de
velopments in the Scandinavian Church
murders were meager yesterday. The
search in the church for the remains of Miss
Samuelson proved fruitless. Other de-
velopments go to show that the pastor
disposed OF the clothing of Miss Samuel
sou in various ways
Rev. Ellefson, OF Ephraim, this State,
says that Mr.. Hermann visited his family
few days prior to his final departure.
from Salt Lake City on May, 6, and pre-
seuted Mrs. Eliefson with quantity OF
ladies' clothing. which he termed articles
of remembrance OF Hermann's deceased
wife.
The developments of the past fe days led
utely, when he found they are all marked
with the initials "A. X. 8, those of Miss
Anna K. Samuelson. II also appears that
Hermann presented u number of handser-
chiefs to Mrs. MorS. wife of Presiding
Elder Mork, of Brigham City, before he
left for the east, and some OF these abS
bear nitials"A, X. s."
1t has also been learned that on Feb
ruary Is, about three weeks after Miss
samuelson disappeared, Rev. Hermnna
paid a visit to Butte, Mont, and that he
took with him two heavy trunks.
I letter was yesterday received from
Rev. Melby, Scandinavian Methodist min
lister at Butte, by Presiding Elder Mork,
saying that Hermann sold a trunk and
quantity of ladies' underclothing when
he was in Butte at that time. These cir
cumstances confirm the detectives theory
that Hermann murdered Miss samuelson
and shipped the remains in large wooden
box which he had made about the time she
disappeared.
In regard to Miss Ciausen, the Officers de-
| clare there is no longer the shadow of a
| doubt that Hermann i s her murderer.
Gov. Wells yesterday offered a reward of
$500 for the capture of the preacher, and
private subscriptions to about an equal
amount have been sent in so that the price
on the pastors head is 81 ,0oo, and in
