MR. TAFTS REAL MEASURE

We quote an editorial from the
Pittsburg Post, which seems to very
nearly size up the large bodied gen.
tleman who is playing golf and run
ming tor the Presidency:
MIR. Taft, primarily, is an exhibit.
He is an artificial creation whose
making involved the prostitution of
every principle of civil service reform
his tfmaster ever possessed He has
never experienced a test of the popu-
lar ballot; and is devoid Of all legis-
lative capacity. His father was pub
lie functionary, and through ancestral
influence and their family wealth he
has ripened during twenty-three years
into bureaucrat of uninterrupted ca
reer. AS a profound jurist his chief
notoriety rests upon injunction writs,
for whose issue he has apolosized
ever since the executive taxidermist
began to stuff him for the canvas He
does not figure as such in the legal or
other publications by reference to him
or impression made. He has been de-
scribed as 'insular and military
':Thus far in his public speeches he
has been simply parroty, superficial
and prone to. misrepresent according
to his sole reliance upon the party
cant. His ascription of the panic of
1893 to the Wilson bill sensibly en-
rolls him among the ignorant or the
wilfully pervert. His discussion of
the tariff proves a shallowness in econ
omic studies even more cogently than
it exposes miserable recanting of the
revision views that he expressed at
Bath. AS to the bank guarantee sys-
tenn he accepts readymade objections
and founders in a mire of weak argu-
ment. He has created the unerring
judgement Of the people that he lacks
all original craftsmanship, has ever
been the meek follower, the patient
slave of the desk, the mouthpiece of
master minds. Let the personal de-
bate continue"

Murder at Winnemucca

Mollie Harrison, negress, killed
James Nichols, a colored man, in Win
nemucca Tuesday night. The killing
occurred in the woman's tent, where
several colored men and one white man
had gathered. All were drinking and
were under the influence Of liquor when
gambling game was proposed, which
the woman strenonsly opposed. A fight
started between the woman and her
husband and she picked up an unloaded
shotgun. Her husband took the gun
away from her and left the tent
Nichols then began swearing at the
woman and calling her vile names and
she resented it. He picked up piece
of iron and struck at the women several
times but she lodged his blows In the
scuffle which ensued she picked up a
jackknife that was lying on the bed and
stabbed Nichols in the left breast. He
staggered out Of the tent, going about
fifty feet and fell in the sagebru5h and
died within ten minutes after he was
stabbed. The woman gave herself up
and is now in Jail.
The Humboldt Star says the woman
and the man she killed bear hard
names. she, as well as her victim, is a

 No date has yet been fixed for the convocation of a parliament and it is unknown whether tn hose who have been involved in recent mutinies are included in the amnesty. It Is reported that the Second army corps Is cooperating witt the Third army corps in Macedonia and will continue to exert pressure until full amnesty is granted and a consti- tuition Is in force. The clerlcals are said to support the military movement for constitution and it is believed the demand for the dismissal of a large number of palace officials will still be persisted in.
