Jameo Averill and the notorhms Cattle Queon Kale Maxwell, werA lynehed by owhrs nnday night. The bodies of the "nts tier" and range quoon dangleU from the same limb of a big cot Uhi wood yesterday MK-ning. Tho seene or the lawless hstt justifiable deed ot tho midnight rider is on the Sweetwater rtrer. In Carbon County, near Independence Ruck, a land mark made historical during the rush overland to ttte Ciltfornta gold fields. Averill was pootmaster at Sweetwater. Kate Maxwell was U heroine of a sonsa tfonal story which appeared in the newspapers throughout the country three mouth asr, when h rai4od a gambling home and recovered a largo sunt of money won from her employes. Stockmen of the Sestwatr region have been the victims of rattle thieves for year-". On account of tho prejudice against the largw outfits, it ha been im sossiolo to convict on this charge, and ihe rustlers have bocome very bold. Averill and his remarkable i mrtner have been rery active in thieving. The woman 2ould hold her own on the range, riding like n demon, shooting on the slightest pretext, and handling tho lariat and branding iron with the skill of a va quern. Fifty freshly branded steers were counted in the Averill and Maxwell herds Saturday morning. A stock detective whose suspicious wore aroused was driven from the place when he was noticed viewing the Molen property. This circumstauce was reported to the ranchmen, who determined to rid the country of the desjierate pair. Averill and the woman have sever.il times been ordered- to emigrate or cease appropriating mavericks, bat had disregarded all warning. . After her celebrated gambling hoase escapade Mrs. Maxwell degenerated from a picturesque Western character into a reckless prairie virago of loose morals, and lost most of her following, but continued partnership with the postmaster. Word was passed alous the river, and fifteen to twenty men gathered at a designated place and galloped to the cabin of Averill aud Cattle Kato without unnecessary noise. The rustlers were at home, and a peep through a window disclosed the thieves and a boy in their employ sitting beside a rude fire-place smoking cigarettes. As half a dotea men rushed into the room, a Winchester was poked through each window, and a command to throw up their band was given with unmistakable earnestness. The trio sprang for their weapons, but were quickly overpowered. Averill b-jjged and whlne-l, protesting his ianoceuc. Kate cursed. Her execration of the lynchers was something terrible in its way. Sbs cursed' every thing and every body, challenging the Deity to harm her if He possessed the power. An attempt was made to gag her, bat her struggling was so violent that this was abandoned. She called for her own horse to ride to the tree selected for a szaSokl, and vaulted astride the animal's back from the ground. Averill did not resist, and the boy, who bad been told that he would not be harmed, followed. Either end of tho repe was fastened about the necks of the rustlers as they sat in their saddles. The boy made a pass with a knife at tho man who was preparing Kite for hanging. He was knocked Insensible by a blow with the batt end of a revolver. The lad was a nephew of the bandit queen. When preparations for the execution bad been completed Averill and the woman were asked to speak. The man spok only of his office, saying he did not wish a certain man to be hts successor. He was promised the Influence of the party for another candidate. Kate wade quite an address. She wished the affair kept as quiet as possible, desiring that Iter moth it be kept in ignorance of her augraoefnl oamter and tragic death. It was useless to deny that thetr herd had been stolen from the ranchmen of . that sec lion, but if they did not wish to divide it among themselves she would like to havd it sold and the money given to a home for wayward girls. Kato bade her nephew good bye and com meaced to deliver a blasphemous bar gue. The horses were led from under as pair wnue Kate was suit cursing. Both kicked in a lively style for tea or fifteen minutes. A few bullets were fired into Averill' body, and tho lyncher rode away. It is doubtful if an inqnest will be held. aad the executioners have no fear of be ing punished. The oattle men have been forced to this, aad more hangings will fellow unless there is less thieving.

Aa Lemn and his clique one of whom was Will iam Wade Dudley bad dictated Tan iter's appointment, tha thing was a ! scandal, and when tho ponslon agents made a row over it, Squires, the pri vate secretary of Tanner, was made the scapegoat for the latter. Squires. so Tanner claimed, had betrayed his confidence by preferring Lomon's cases, and he was dismissed. It was f also assorted that Squires had made in- ' sultimr nronositions to one of the i ladles in the Pension Hureau.

One of tha employos was a fellow named Van HrunL Ho abandoned his wife in iirooklyn. and wont to Washington with another woman whom he introduced as his wife, and who afterward became insane and was sent to an asylum. Those things were exposed, and Van Brunt was dismissed 1 ni nut h n,, ox from the Pension Offlco. He at once became an employe. In a confidential capacity, of Lemon, the very same pension shark who had between 8.000 and 10,000 "special" cases expedited durin? the first throe months of tho Tanner regime. As Lemon's assistant.

Mouse I One of the most offensive features of President Hayes' administration was the indifference with which ho . permitted his Secretary of tho Treas- ' ury, Mr. Sherman, to build up a machine in tho South. It was basod , 0n the spoils system, and Government -mtronaeo was distributed in so patronage shameless a way that tho leenng oi Indignation then aroused did much to keep the South solid. But the bhorm&a machine, in spite of all its de fects, was effective in securing delegates to tho Republican National con vention of 1880. The friends of President Harrison Kn tnnut .ntlviilit inrrnirwl list. at present in efforts to rehabilitate the Sherman machine. They know that It la a gross mlsuso of power for tho President to appoint to office uls honost carnot-basrscrs who do not represent in any sense tho pcoplo in the localities where thoy live; but such a eourae, thoy think, looking back at tho result In 18S0, may bring i,tf Vntn. tn tli.

In view of the roso-colored propho cies that wore made as to what General Harrison proposed to do in tho South, tho result Is vory disappointing.

It whs only by putting the Republican party back into power that tho tollers of America could be xaved from

the ruinous competition of cheap labor boyond tho sea. In his lottr ol acceptance bo dwolt with particular omplmsis on tho necessity of some in spectlon of and ltmita Ion to immig.Htion, stating that the day of the iimni gration bureau had gone by. Ho was vory omphatio about tha awful results of the competition of tha product of American fhops in the Amorlcan markets, without favoring duties, with tha products of clusap foreign labor. "Such competition, ' ho stud, "will soon reduce wagoa bore to the level of tboso abroad, and when that condition U reached we will not need any law forbidding tho importation of laborers under contract" Such competition Is on our shores already, and there is no necessity for tho importation of labor ors under contract, for tho protected manufacturora can get all tho pauper labor of Europe he wants ready at hand without having to send for it. Tho Hood of immigration has set in this sutnmor with a force that threatens to surpass all previous records. The steerage of ovory steamer coming to this country is tilled with the pauper labor of Europe, and in Liverpool and Quoenstown there are not accommodations for the vast numbers bound for the protected homo of American industry. From tho ModlterrHnenn ports come crowds of Italians, and the Austrian Government appears to draid the depopulation of Hungary. Over two-thirds of those immigrants may be classed , under the general bead of laborers, as they aro without trade or occupation. Hence, when the Ca -nogios and other friends of Ameri can Industry undertake to reduce wages, to tho starvation point, their betrayed employes must either submit to it or go on strike, with the cor talnty that their planes will be filled by tho ever-increasing contingent of the pauper labor of hurope in tnis country. Tho beautiful theory of the protection of American labor, so elo9f ? F 1UuW "J" T tors in and out of Congress last year. has failed to materialize. With the markets of tho world effectually closed agaiust us by a prohibitive tariff, and our own markets over-stocked, with trusts controlling the production and output of every thing, and thousands of pauper laborers ready to step into tho places of American working-men, the roseate visions of protection nave assumed a- decidedly glowing aspect. The Italians and Hungarians aro will ing to work for wages that an Ameri can could sot support bla family on without descending to the frightful level of those pauper laborers.

LnssoN Facts In our last lesson wo saw that tho people were bound to bavo a Ktng, so as to Ih) like tho nations that were around them. In the tribe of Benjamin there was a man who had a Mne yenng boy for his son. There was not a eooitller per son than ho among the children of Israel. Klsh was tho name of thu father, and bsul was that of the son. Onu day the asses of the father strayed away and the son was sent after them. Not succeeding in finding the boasts they were about to return to their home, when It occurred to hliu that it would be a good thltije to ask tho advice ot the prophet Samuel. So Saul aad Ins aery ant started for the prophet. God had forewarned Samuel that the next day He would point out to htm the mas wlioni he was to appoint a King over Israel. When, therefore, Saul appeared, Uod told Samuel that this was the man of whom He had spoken to him. On Saul's asking for tho propliet, Samuel told hint that ho was the prophet himself, and at the same tiniflcomforted him by assuring him that tho asses were found already, lie then Indicated to him that he was to be the chosen king of his nation, To this Saul made a very modest reply, sliowing that he was by no means proud of the distinction. Bamucl then ltouored him in tho assembly that was gathered, giving hlui a place ef prominence, and keeping hi in. for his guest that night The next day Samuel accentwilled him a part of the way home, aad told him what the word of God had been ia the matter of his being appointed as king over Israel. Comments There Is a proverb that says: "All's well that ends well" This la net strictly true, but it is more nearly true than If it read: All's well that bcglaa well." There are a great many things that have bexun well that have ended very badlyAdam anil Kve began vttill in the garden ef Eden. If only thoy had continued as well as they began, it would have been a great advantage for us all. but their good beginning had a bad ending, and they lost that h1 vantage that Ood gave to them ia their first estate. Solomon began well fat his reign over tho people, but he had a sad ending- Judas began well as an apostle, and for awhile ho gave as good promise ef continuing well as any of tho apostles. Kut be turned aside from the right way, sad ended most fearfully. Paul speaks of many who did once run well, but who were hindered oysome temptation, and who turned aside from the ways of truth. Among those who thus began well is Saul. We remark that he seems to have been really a modest young man, and to hayo thought that he was not worthy of the honor thus put upon him. This was a Rood sign, for humility was a good virtue, and one not too often found among the young. Doubtless every one who knew Saul said about litai that be was a "young mm ot good promise.'1 There are mousanns or younjr men and young women "of promlsi'." But by and by tho world will begin to look for a fulfilment of that promise. In niHiiy cases the world will lie entirely and bitterly disappointed. Whyl Because these samo young people win rciy on tao start that they have made, and will not realize that it was only a start, and that a good .Htart is only a part, anfl a very small part of tho battle of life.
