THELIST LENGTHENS. .
Twodays ago at Harrison, without^the slightest provocation, a worthless^wretch emptied the contents of a re^^volver into the body of an unoffending^and law-abiding young man. The out^^come cannot yet he told, hut the ]^hy^sicians regard the wound a dangerous^one, and they are watching Mr. Turner,^the victim id' the murderous iiss.-tult.^with patient attention.
Thusthe list of murders lengthens.^Late in .luly GtOTga Martin was killed^in ttiis city by a blow dealt w itli a beat^tMittle at a moment when he had not^ihe slightest rotpiciOB that any eneniv^wits near.
Tendays ago young Dai is was buried^ill llutte. lie was stabbed during a^^|tiarrel which, his friends assert, fur^uished no warrant for the use of a^weapon.
Lastweek .1. It. Ilray died in St.^Ann's hospital, in this city, of knife^wojmdx received in a drunken row at^the driving park.
Nextcomes the hrutal story from^Harrison, with features so revolting as^to warrant the wish that the offender^had heeii strung up to the llrst toh^graph pole.
Withthese stories of more notable^crimes go the accounts of minor as^^saults and hrutal lawlessness. They^are disgracing the daily life of two tie^cent counties with revolting frequency,^they cast serious and extremely unjust^reflection on the moral ami social life^of the community.
Howdoes it happen .-
Mrs.t!rant must say ^yes^ before^anything can come of the proposition^now before congress relative to the re^^Nil of he tieneral's remains to^Arlington. How shamefully indit^ferent New York City hasheen in the^matter of hiuhling a UMtb at Wiverside.^Hut for that city's profuse promises^made at the time of (ienci a i Kraut's^death, he would uiU)Uestionably have^lieen buried at West Point or Arling^ton. The nation would undoubtedly^feel gratilied were the coursesuggested^in congress to l^e followed and the dust^of the dead (reneral to lind at Arling^ton a linal resting place.

Thatisn't the way we uiulerstand it.^\ccording to Mr. Sneer's figures llutte^has a population of It/HQ, which is al^most precisely double the ollicial ligures^for Helena. 'I he result is that Anaconda^lias hardly one quarter the population^of Hutte. while it is fully one half as^large as Helena.
The/ nil-/a ftdt n^ sureiy will not ask^anybody to accept any other ligures^than those furnished for the ollicial^count. If these are set aside what an^thority shall we turn tof An adver^tisemeiit in one of the current niaga^rines says that Helena has a popula^^tion of about BjfJOO, A circular lately^issued by the Helena boa id of trade^solM-rly declares that the population^of the city is about ttjBOO, We under^^stand that the Indepewltni has lately^claimed the ligure to be between 16,000^and IT.i^^1, while Mr. Speer's count,^after a revision ronduited under his^ptfMNMl supervision, gm s Helena h ss^than ItflOO peofie.

Hut Hutte I ill be more^than twice as large as Helena two^years hence when the capital question^comes up. Ucause the great center^of Montana's business and resources is^forging ahead at a rate with which the^temporary capital Until it impossible^to keep pace
Thereinis Helena's danger. When^the state settles the question of a per^manciit capital. Itutte will probably^outvote Helena nearly time to one.
Thesenate is trying make the force^lull presentable. Yesterday the hideous^thing had a tooth or two knocked out.^one of its horns was sawed oil the left^eye was pretty badly battered and a^hind leg was parti) crippled. The ra^^publican senators think this course is^likely to make the monstrosity more^pleasing to the |^eople.

Theleading medical men of London^have resolved to petition parliament to^pass a bill prohibiting hypnotic exhi^^bitions entirely on the ground that^they may cause insanity or work other^serious evil to the subjects operated^upon.

No,there's nothing in it except a lit^tie talk about the population of Hel-^ena. We went into the thing liecause^the Itutte Intif Mo**M* insisted last^month that the question of the pernia^neiit capital is an issue in next au^^tumn's election.
THECHAUTAUQUA SCANDAL^The only original and w idely cede^brati d ( hautauqiia. located at Chau^^tauqua, N. Y., the mother of a score or^so of little t'liatauquas scattered^throughout the country, has ban^shocked and grieved beyond espies^sion. As a literary, seieiitila-and very^religious old matron Ml welcomed all
peoplethai would confine their ooaver
lationto such topics. No gentleman,^she felt assured, would ever have the^audacity and the indecency to talk^politics in her presence. The ditCUl^^loll ol certain subjects might be all^right in proper plant and when the^assemblage was limited to one sex, but^in society, ami a literary, scientific and^religious society at that, t hev must be^rigorously tabooed.
Itis painful to learn that the pro^^prieties were outraged last ^atunlay^with most wanton ami deplorable vio^lence. It was what was called^'^^dangers Hay,^ being devoted ex^^clusively to the interests of that holiest,^honorable and industrious class of citi^^zens. Chautauqua had fixed herself^up line tor UK occasion. The platform^was lavishly decorated with llowersand^fruits ami above it hung a sign with^the legend: ^When Agi icult tire^languishes, other industries decline.^^More than six thousand people were^there and tin- grangers thetnsehes^wore red ami blue bandanas and carried^picnic baskets. Lverylhing looked^gay aixl bright ami lair, and nobody^dreamed ot the terrible storm that was^coming.
Themaster of the New York state^grange was the first speaker, lie kept^himself within reasonable limits, al^though towards the close he began to^tread upon dangerous ground by de^^claring that the chief cause of agri^^cultural depression was the combina^^tion of capital which dictates Un^^laws. Chautauqua felt very uneasy^and somewhat frightened at this ami^was glad enough when the speaker sat^down.
Thenext address was by Coventor^Luce of Michigan, for many years the^head of the Michigan Crange, ami it^would appear a gentleman of rare tact^ami discretion, for he avoided with^scrupulous care anything that Hie^primmest prude could construe into a^political allusion or other immodesty.^I le talked about farms and fertiliser!.^I he best fertilizer he knew of was hu^man brains. ^Mix brains with your^soil,^ he exclaimed in a burst of conli^deuce. ^Increase your brains all you^can and you will get on.^ The gov^^ernor seemed to have grave fears that^his hearers didn't have enough of the^fertilizer to do much good, but Chan^tauqita took no olleiise at this. She^was rejoiced to lind that the governor^made no indelicate remarks and she^didn't much care what else he said.^This feeling of complacency alas' was^doomed to immediate and awful de
traction.
Thiimpending disaster came with^t remendous force ami suddenness when^the next speaker, (ierard C. drown,^master of the Pennsylvania (irange,^took the Moor. Without much of any^preliminaries Mr. Itrown said if the^grangers wanted to know the primary^cause of agricultural depression, if they^really wanted to find out what ailed^them, he would tell them. It was the^exorbitant and unnatural tariff duties^to which this country is sijbjectetl. Mr.^i'.row n took up the McKimcy bill and^proceeded to mop Chautauqua's It OCT^with it, while Chautauqua herself^stood by w ith blanched face and hor^^ror stricken eyes. Then another gen^^tleman got up and lauded the Mckin^^ley bill as a perfect ami eternal combi^^nation of the good, the true and the^beautiful. Then the laity, the grangers
tbemaolvee,wanted to take a hand in
thelight .and to prevent a continual ion^of such disgraceful proceedings the^meeting was declared adjourned.
Itis to lie hoped that Chautauqua^has learned wisdom bl experience, and^on her next (irangers' day will post an^additional placard over her platform^warning all men by these presents to^confine their discussion to the legiti^mate fields of crops and cattle and^above all to steer clear ol such scandal^ous themes as agricultural depression.
