Crime Of,73 tod.

1t is remarked that the administra-
ton is afraid to Oust John Sherman,
though it has not much use for him.
And John threatens to make speeches
in Ohio, too. He will, though, be more
of an object lesson than an orator. Peo-
pie will not pay much attention to
what he may say, but they will look
upon him as a physical exhibit of the
crime of 1873. Mr.. Sherman is one of
those who have not Outlived their sins.
Although about twenty-four years
have elapsed since Mr.. Sherman failed
TO tell his colleagues about the devil
ment concealed i'll the mint bill, the
failure has not been forgotten. AS the
distressing results of that act strike
upon the country with greater and
greater force. as the years pass, the
sufferers get anxious to know who was
the original sinner. 1t will be an un
fortunate day for the Democrats if the
Hannaites suppress Mr.. Sherman.

Oepcpu'ation of a Kansas County the De-
sign of Stockmen.
News of q stupendous scheme to depop-
ulate Clark County. Kansas, and convert
its broad acres into a vast cattle ranch for
the benefit of Barbecue" Campbell and a
few other cattle barons has reached Wich-
ita. 4 few years ago Clark County was
thickly settled. and in the boom times n
majority of the settlers mortgaged their
claims to the limit. Subsequently the
greater part of the land passed into the
hands of the mortgage holders and was
largely appropriated by few big cattle
men and syndicates. The county is now
mostly fenced into great pastures, no at
tention hcing paid to leaving out
unoccupied claims. farms, government
lands and school lands, but all being tax
en- in and utilized for pasture by the big
cattlemen. \ meeting of all the cattle
men of the county was recently held at
Ashland. the county seat. and an assocla-
ton was formed ostensibly for mutual
protection, but in reality to prevent any
body from settling in the county. The
constitution presented for adoption pro-
vided that the members of the association
hlnu tHeHlSelNeS 10 HOl permit any ptlsoh
to settle upon a claim or to purchase or
lease any school land belonging to another
person or any school land within any
fenced pasture occupied by any member
of The association. This unwarranted
usurpation of power in the interest of the
few big cattle barons met spirited opposi-
ton from the stockmen of small means
who desire to see the county better set
tied and a riot resulted. Finally, divis
ion of the house was called on a vote upon
the constitution. Nine cattle barons stood
up in favor and eleven stockmen voted
against its provisions. The few settlers
of Clark County are greatly excited over
the question. which is still being agitated
by the barons,

WHEN WILL WAGES RISE2

Stocks have risen in value, wheat is
booming, Republican editors are hys-
tcricallly happy, but the wage-earner
is looking in vain for an increase i'll
his pay.
Prosperity is here, but, somehow or
other, the men who work for a living
don't seem to be getting any of the
benefits. And in addition to the fact
that wages are low there comes the
added fact that work is scarce. When
the wage-earner finds no difficulty in
securing a place to labor. and when he
receives n decent wage in recOmpense
for that labor, then, indeed, will the
Republican hilarity over good times
have cause for existence.
Consistency demands that the Re
publican employers of labor should
prove their faith in the return of pros
perity by meeting the demands of Ia
Dor for a reasonable wage with
prompt and cheerful response. a fail
ure to do this is either confession of
the falsehOod of their claims or of the
fact that they are oppressors of the
poor and spectators in human lives.
Starving miners, who ask, not fair
wages, but simply pay enough to keep
themselves and families alive, are met
with injunctiOns and armed guards;
are evicted from their miserable homes
and are denied the liberty of free
speech and peaceable assembly. Re
publican consistency is only equaled by
Republican rapacity, inhumanity,
falsehood and greed.-Chicago Dis

Three robbers tortured Louis Simons, n
Chicago milk dealer, Sunday night until
he revealed the hiding place of his lifetime
savings of $1,000. After securing the
money the men forced napkin down the
unfortunate Simons' throat. then bound
his hands and fees, and rolled him into q
closet in his kitchen. Simons, who occu-
pied the house alone-his wife is in the
East visiting re,atives-was asleep when
the robbers entered his house. The first
intim: tion he had that there was anybody
in the room was the clasp Of strong fingers
about his throat and the weight Of a man
sitting astride his breast. He was ad-
monished to keep still OH pain of 'eath by
one of the men, who drew the sharp edge
of a knife across his throat. While one
of the men held Simons the other two
looked for rope. In closet i'll the
kitchen they found his wife's clothesine.
and with it bound Simons' feet together
and his hands behind his back. They
then dragged him into the kitchen. where
he was asked TO reveal the hiding place of
his money. SimOns said he bad no
money, and one of the men suggested
that they burn the soles of his feet until
he Was willing to tell where he had his
savings hidden. Lighted mataches were
held to the bare soles of the bound mans
feet until he was willing TO tell where he
savings hidden. Lighted matches were

hiding place of the money the men told
Simons they would kill him. One placed
a revolver at his ear and another touched
his throat with the point of a knife, and
told him they would give him two minutes
to tell the location of his money. Simons
Weakened at this and told the men of
money i'm the drawer of a washstand

In srealing of the Klondike gold fields,
William Ogilvie, dominion surveyor foE

strangers from going into that bleak coun-

the aAis of this zone northwesterly, and

intervening spaces are barren. and Will do
no more than say generally that we have
a zone of upwards of 500 miles in length,
some of it in Alaska, more of it in tie

British Columbia, which will yet be the
scene of numerous mining enterprises,

however, are most unfavorablc. There is
