KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. I2.-The
Kansas City Times will publish to-
morrow statements to the effect that
grave doubts has been raised as to the
guilt of Joel Collins, who was recently
killed as one of the Union Pacific train
robbers. A prominent law firm at
Topeka has been retained by the faith
er of Collins, highly respected citi-
zen of Dallas, Texas, to investigate
the matter, and enough has been
learned TO justify the statement that
Collins could not have been present
at the time the train was robbed. He
had gone 10 the Black Hills with a
large lot of cattle and wrote his father
that be had sold them at twenty five
cents a pound and received his pay in
gold, nearly $1,000 and from knowl-
edge of his subsequent movements he
could not have been at the Big
Springs robbery. His conduct ut Buff
falO when captured is accounted for
on the hypothesis that he supposed he
had fallen in the hands Ofrobbers and
determined to resist to the end. His
father has determined to vindicate the
reputation of his son. The matter will
be thoroughly sifted.

One thing Is very certain With all
their smooth talk in praise of Mr..
Hayes and his policy, the Democrats
have no idea of breaking away from
their old party ties togive him and his
policy their support. The theorists
who dreamed off dismembeTment of
the two parties, and break in the
the Democratic ranks, may as well
abandon the notion. We may set it
down as an undnbitable facts that the
Democrats will hold together without
material break anywhere along the

A Custer dispatch relates that re-
Gently while Henry Meyers freight

twelve miles south of here, they were
visited by three men, who cooked
dinner at their camp fire and made
themselves so agreeable that all of the
freigbters except the son of Meyers
gathered about them. Yong Meyers
was suspicious and went to one of the
wagons where he got his shot gun and
remained away from the party.

camp fire, one of the strangers admir-

striking him in the arm. He fell and

Senator Conkling in his recent brief
address before convention ofOneida
county Republicans said 4:


l once heard it said that if thirty
nine bishops of the Church of England
should be separated and obliged to ex-
plain their individual views of their
thirty-nine different articles of faith,
there could not he moments doubt
that they would. one and all, differ on
some point. | firmly believe that ev-
cry man in the Republican party
wishes to see the President succeed.
The maintenance and sentiments of
the party are useful, if they are not
essen tial to the country. Bot there
are no dissensiOns in our ranks that
may be dignified with that name.
There is merely a difference of opin-
ion as to the policy pursued by the
President in gaining a desired end.
When this policy shall have been
tried and proven, then shall this diff
ference fall away. Time will cure
them, Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" There will always be
matters of public import that will di-
vide a party to an extent. And in
fact, the Republican party will cease
to he the Republican party when these
differences cease to exist.


These remarks are sensible in the
highest degree, and express the views
feelings an sentiments ofthe Republi-
can party generally. We may not
have faith in the ultimate good re-
suits of the Presidents policies, but
We may at the same time hope for
good results, and rejoice at every sue
cess, whether in accomplishing them
our methods and theories have been
followed or not.

Much the larger part of the differ
ence among the Republicans must be
attributed to the Presidents Southern
policy. OF all the influences which
have contributed to the defeat this is
the most potent. The veterans of the
Western Reserve feel that the cause
they have cherished has been betray-
ed. OF what avail Is the assurance
that the Presidents policy extorts
praise from the Democracy The fact
remains that the Southern people do
not allow the cOnciiiatory acts of the
administration TO wean them from
their alliance with the Democratic
party, and that the Democrats, while
holding the president rs a practical

The following is telegraphed from
Washington to the New York Tribune /:


ga prominent Pennsylvania politician
predicts that the Republican Convention
in his State will closely initiate thecourse
of that just held in Iowa, as far as its at
titude towards the President is concern
ed. He says that the Cameron faction,
which will control the Convention as
heretofore, has determined to permit no
approval of the administi alton, and will
give it the cold shoulder in manner
not to be mistaken. In recent josrneys
in the State he found little dissatf 2stion
with the Presidents Southern policy. The
Executive order to the otfce-holder had,
however, raised storm of indignation
among the machine politicians. They
had no liking for Hayes before, believing
that he was not of their kind, and that
h would sooner or later show his antip-
aLhy 10 them; and now they are quite fil-


rious and do Dot hesitate to express their
sentiments. Unfortunately, says this
gentleman, the civil service reform policy
announced by the administration has as
vet borne no fruits in Pennsylvania.
Cameron's satellites are still in office all
over the State, and there is, therefore,
no encouragement for the real reform ell
ement in the party to come forward and
push the machine men out of the control


of the organization. The Cameron Ring
mean to let the election go by default.
They have little personal interest in the
result, as the offices to be filled are few
and unimportant, and they wish to show
the administration that they run the Re-
publican party and that they will not toll
crate even disposition to set them aside
The gentlemen who furnishes these opiu-
ions has national reputation as an ex-
psrienced and sagacious politician, and s
warm friend Of the administration. He
thinks that the only way to save the Re-
publican party in Pennsylvania from de-
feat is for the President to speedily put
his reform theories in practice, and make

There is nothing more distinctive among women than the difference of relative age between them. Two wo- men of the same number of years will be substantially of different epochs of life-the one faded in person, wearied in mind, fossilized in sympathy; the other fresh both in face and feeling, with simpathies as broad and keen as they were when she was in her first youth, and perhaps even more so |; with brain still as receptive, temper still as easy to be amused, as ready to love, as quick to learn, as when she emerged from the school-room to the drawing room. The one you suspect of understanding her age by a half-a-dozen years or more, when she tells you she is not over forty; the other makes you wonder if she has not Over-stated hers by just as much, when she laughingly cOnfesses the same age. The one is an old woman who seems as if she had never been young; the other, 'justa great girl yet" who seems as if she would never grow old, and nothing is equal be- tween them but the number of days each lived.

The newsboys of this city have long been the owners of a large Newfound- land dog, which answered to friendly salutations when addressed as "Tige." He was an intelligent animal, and en- joyed the benefits of good education in his peculiar line of business. He knew all the police officers in the city, and whenever the boys felt like regal ing themselves in social game of "chuck-a-luck'' or ''high die" Tige took up phisposition on the ramparts of safety, and never failed to give the alarm when ''peeler" hove in sight. During the Christmas holidays, and on all state oc- casions, he was decorated with all the paraphernalia that the inventive char acter of his keepers could suggest, and invariably, at the extremity of his cau- dal appendage, a "bunch of blue rib bons," and of which he was very proud, if the wag of his tail high in the air could be taken as an indication of his exter- nal emotions. Recently, about 12 o'clock while rambling around the city in quest of his usual amount of recreation, Tige had the misfortune to encounter stray piece of medicated dog meat. He looked at it, smelt at it, and concluding that it was all right, he opened his mouth and took it in. It was not long, however, before Tige began to show signs of being sick. The news of his malady spread among the boys rapidly. He was taken in charge and brought to the place of rendezvous in the rear of the Ne1s office, and the medicine man of the newsboy brigade was summoned to his relief. He came and prescribed copious draughts of sweet milk, which he ordered to be followed by heroic doses of castor oil, but the treatment was in vain. The boys rubbed him and bathed him, but it was of no use. Soon Tige's intelligent eyes began to lose their lustre and he was no longer able to swallow. Mir. M. Kenefic was sent for, and suggested that dose of ipecac administered in hot water would "do the business' for the sufferer, but

Regarding appropriations for carry
ing on and paying expenses of the
Nebraska Hospital for the insane, the
State Journal calls attention to the
wide diffeFance between the amount
recommended by the COMMITTEES and
the amount allowed by the House:


The committees recommended for
instance SIG, 900 for groceries and pro-
visions for the Hospital for the insane
during the year 1877, and Sl9,50o for
1878. The House by motion, and
without debate, cut the appropriation
for each year down TO $4,000. A sim
liar reduction was made in the ap-
propriations for clothing for the poor
insane, and for fuel and medicines.


This is certainly a curious way Of
doing business amongst Legislators

ing. The committee recommended
double as much money as was neces-
sary or else the House did not make
sufficient appropriation by one half.
