Daniel r. Murphy Captured in Woodstock.
New Brunswick.

New BfunsWltk.
HorLToN, Me, June S, 1898. Daniel
2. Murphy, the youthful Mars Hill patri-
eide, was rought to Houlton Jail to- night
from Woodstock, n. B., where he was
captured this afternoon by Town Marshal
Gibson and j. c. Milmore
Murphy, after crossing the line, took to
the track of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
and was picked up by some workmen and
brought to Woodstock, where he was
recognized and arrested by the officers, as
stated. He is very reticent, and thus far
has refused to talk. He is apparently too
much hardened to fully realize the enor-
nifty of his crime.
The quarrel that led up to tie murder
was the renewal of an old difference be-
tween the son and father. The father got
up out of bed and clinched with the ED
est son, Daniel, and both rolled over on
the floor. The younger son, Leon, came
into the room, and, seeing how matters
stood, took a hand in the fight. Daniel
then went out into the woodshed, got an
axe, and came back.
The father and Leon were struggling on
the floor, when Daniel joined in with his
deadly weapon and struck the fatal blow,
severing the elder Murphy's spinal col
umn He then, apparently maddened by
the sight of his fathers blood, struck
again and again, mangling his victim S
body.
When his mother had taken away the
axe, the murderer himself went to the
house of neighbor, Nelson Joscelyn, and
gave the alarm. He then took to the
woods, crossing over the Canadian border
last night and starting toward Woodstock,
his former home. There was little method
in his wanderings, and he apparently ex
pected to be caught.
1t is now said that the Murphy boys
have been suspected of some connection
with the reign of lawlessness which has
terrorized Mars Hill and the surrounding
towns during the past few weeks.

The going away was characteristic OF
such affairs in Bucksport and was paltic-
uarly happy. The couple did not make

the Democratic candidates arc talking sill
YER. II Mr.. OoUDERT's ears were connected
by photograph with the Democratic meet
ings In all parts Of the country he would
hear a vast volume OF silver sound with not
enough gold in It to be detected. The issue
which he assumes to be minor and MORT
bund is supreme and living In the view OF
the great majority OF Democratic news
papers and politiolans. Tho millions who
believed in free silver In 1896 have not
changed their minds. They have not grown
weak in their faith. Perhaps Mr.. CouDERT
has grown weak, In his anxiety to Jump
back into the Democratic party.
How strong is this desire may be Judged
from this remark Of Mr.. CoUDERT1s to a Sun
reporter:
Sound money. he said. was certainly not . State
issue and was not referred 10 in the platform; there.
fore he would vote the straight Democratic ticket"
1t is not worth while to discuss an argu-
ment like that. Mr.. OoUDERT might just as
we'll have said 1T am bound to jump back
into the Democratic party, and 1 don't need
any reason except my volition." Mr..
CouDERT must know that the platform was
intended to catch gudgeons, and that free
silver remains and will remain in the Dem
ocratic national platform. In 1900 he will
have to vote for free silver II he votes the
Democratic ticket, and we judge that he Is
ready to do 1t, being a "sound-money" man
who votes with his party Of unsound money.
MR.. CoUDERT's resolution is sufficiently
indicated by his declaration that "he would
support the straight ticket, including the
candidates for the Legislature and Con-
gress, without regard to their attitude to-
ward the relatively minor money ISSUE"
Evidently he doesn't care whether a candi-
date is for hard money or soft money. Give
him a straight ticket and he will take it
straight. We expect to find hin voting for
BRYAN in 1900 OF the ground that good
money Is only q relatively minor issue,
whereas the Colonel's Photographic record
is excellent.
MI. ANDERSON swallows a little more
easily than Mr.. CoUDERT, but it all comes
to the same thing. I'VE nave a right to
assume" says Mr.. ANDERSON, "that six
millions Of intelligent Americans, with four
years time to examine the subject 1.-THE
Chicago PLATFORM will reach q correct on
clusion." The form is q little 0rphic, but
Mr.. ANDERSON seems to mean that If the
next Democratic national platform is a sub
stantial replica of the last, he will cheer
fully accept it. Who is he that he should
oppose the deliberate opinion Of the major
ity Of his party? One Chicago platform
may have been invalid, but two are bind
ing. Anyway, it doesn't take much to
bind Mr.. ANDERSON, who is sick Of his
fuidity, and yearns to be constrained.
Give him a straight ticket, whether the
platform is crooked or not.
On the whole, two meeker little prodigals
than these never made q bid for veal.

Two ProdIgal Sons.

Mr.. FREDERIC r. CoUDERr and Mr.. Eli
BERT ELLERY ANDERSON have imagined,
and seem still to imagine, that they are
sound-money Democrats. They nave made
it clear, however, that they care a good
deal about the Democratic party and
mighty little about sound money. Mr..
CoUDERT insists that he is "as much Of a
s~ound-money man as he has ever been, but
does not consider the money question an
important issue at present, and thinks that
it may be a wholly dead N by the next
Presidential election"
We cannot believe that Mr.. CoUDERT is
ignorant that the Democrats of the West
and South, the ruling forces Of his party,
are practically solid for free silver; that
in their conventions and their canvass
they dwell upon it as eagerly and enthusi-
astically as they did in 1896 that the Dem
ocratio party, through Its National Com
mittee, is continuing the alliance with the
Populists and Silver Republicans and keep
ing free silver at the front OF Democratic
principles.

socinl prominence in New York have exer-
clsed an evil influence throughout the
Church, in stimulating o light regard for
the religious obligations OF marriage,
New York being the centre Of fashion and
that particular circle of society in 1t be-
ing the fashionable exemplar for the coun-

is outraged because the authority and the

table all such offenders against the law Of
the Church. Gases AVE also occurred where
Bishops have given practically q dispense

for divorces from the prohibition Of the

The discussion Of the subject at Washing

feeling; but 1t is hardly probable that this
General Convention will deal with 1t In the
radical way proposed In the new canon
The controversy is likely to go on.

is true that when, in 1880, KwAEosU,
then in his eighteenth year, was mar
ried, the Empress TsI AN Issued a
farewell edlct In which she protested
to resign all public authority. But al
though she SYSTEMATICALLY retired for q
time from Pekin, and took up her abode In
a palace outside the walls, she retained the
substance Of power and ruled her adopted
son and the whole court with a rod Of iron.
The instrument which she employed by
prediction was Ii HUNG CHANG, who Is
undoubtedly ~chargeable with the calami-
tous outcome Of the war with japan. But
although the Emperor KwANosU undertook
more than once to punish him for his inca
pacity or dishonesty, the Empress DowRger
never failed to reinstate him In high Of
fee. 1t was Ii HUNG CHANG who negoh-
ated, In 1886, the stupid Tientsin conven-
ton, whereby he conceded to Japan an
equality Of rights In Corea, and thus au-
thorlzed that Intervention by the Mikado
In the Hermit Kingdom, nine years later,
which brought China to the verge Of
ruin. 1t was also LII HUNG CHANG to
whom his imperial mistress gave the
principal supervision OF the vast sums
that have been, for many years, appropri-
ated in China for warships, for naval
arsenals and for the creation OF an army
armed and trained in European fashion.
The humiliating results Of the war with
Japan demonstrated that the immense
appropriations made for those pur-
poses could not have been wisely or honestly
expended. For those results it is not the
young and helpless Emperor KwANdsU, but
the Empress Isl AN and her protege LII
HUNG CHANG, upon whom responsibility is
fastened by all intelligent Chinese. Much
against his will, KwANasU was COM
PEELED by the Empress Dowager to
make LII HUNG CHANG his p%lenipoten-
tiary to conclude the treaty Of Shimono-
seki, and afterward to appoint him
special Ambassador to Russia, where he
signed the so-called Cassini convention,
which has since placed the whole Of China
north Of the Great Wall at the Cars dis
posal. It was, in fine, KwANGsU's refusal
to restore LII to the Viceroyship of Chilli
and to his former .ascendancy in the Tsung
Ii Yamen that was the real cause Of the late
Emperor's deposition, although a specious
pretext was found in his projected educa-
tional reforms.
