AN AWFUL TRAGEDY. Tte rental Dee* of a Demented Bohemia* Wonaa-She Honiara Six of Her rUMne With a Tali1 of Sheaim anti BaagiHeneU - Ci.KTii.ANt>, O., Jan. 30.—One of the most horrible domestic tragedies that evtir took place in this city occurred this morning in the neat-looking brick cottage, netr the corner of Independence and Petri streets. The house was occupied by James Csbalek, an industrious Bohemian carpenter, with his family of eight children and his wife Tonie. About three months ago the family was enlarged by the advent of a babe, since which Mrs. Cabalek hau acted very strangely. This morning the family arose as usual, but Mrs. Cabalek seemed unusually petulcnt and scolded her husband and children for the most trivial occurrence. At halfpast six o’clock Cabalek and Albert, his nineteen-year-old son, left the house for their work. Shortly afterwards the mother sent Harry, aged seventeen, to a grocery store half a mile away, George, another son, aged ten years, was sent to a store in an opposite direction. In their absence the terrible affair took place. At half-past seyen o'clock Oeoirge returned and found all the doors locked. He became alarmed and ran for his father and brother, who were at work a quarter of a mile distant. Albert, the young man, left his work and accompanied bis little brother home. Arriving at the house, the doors were found still locked, and with an axe he broke open the kitchen door and rushed in. Glancing toward the bedroom, the door of which was slightly ajar, a sight met his gare that completely unnerved him. On the bed he saw his four young brothers and sisters, their clothes covered with blood. Behind the bed. lying on the floor, was his sister Tenie, aged eight years, fairly weltering in blood, but still conscious.

By this time the father had arrived, and the two instituted a search for the mother. She was no where to he found down stairs, and they finally found her in the basement suspended from this rafters by a clothes-line. Near her feet was an empty barrel which she had evidently used'as a platform while arranging the fatal knot. ’ ;■ The husband cut the rope as noon as possible, and carried his wife up stairs, but it was found that she was dead. In the meantime a neighbor had telephoned for physicians, and Dra. Brooks and Hanson arrived at the house soon alter the four dead children were found on the bed. . •Mamie, aged six years, lay across the pillow, dead. She was terribly cut in the abdomen, at least ten gashes being found in her side just below the region of the heart. ,, Annie, aged four years, was stretched across the foot of the bed. There were fourteen wounds in her bowels. Until this time the babe had teen forgotten, and neighbors noticed the cradle pushed into-a recess behind the door, and pushing back the doth the child was found dead with two or three cuts in the tower portion of the stomach. Jimmie and Tenie were found to be still liTing, and were removed to a neighbor's house, where there wounds were dressed. Both were horribly hacked. Tenie. who .s in the worst condition of the two, has twelve wounds in the vicinity of- the heart. She can live but a few hours. Jimmie was cut sixteen times in the left side. His chances for recovery are slight. As a result of thutragedy four are now dead and two more .dying. The weapon with which the wounds were inflicted was a pair of long scissors, with sharp prongs, which are covered with blood. The coroner will hold an inquest this afternoon. SPIES* DOCTRINES. la Relation to the Marriage Estate Altogether Ten Lax to Balt Mrs. Van Zaadt's Notions—The Latter Glad They Found It Oat Before It Was Too Late. Chicago, Jan. 30.—A reporter for a local paper called last evening at the Van Zandt residence, and was received by Mrs. Van Zandt, who said she would speak for her daugher. Her attention was called to an interview with Spies, wherein he said: “After all, the refusal to permit the ceremony makes little difference. It is only a mere ceremony, an empty formality. and will not change oar relations in the least. The young lady has too liberal ideas to be affected by the despotic order mnch more than I myself am, and with her acquiescence, remember, we will waive all ceremonies, and when the time comes we will live ns husband and wife.” Spies said that he was a believer in free love in a spiritualistic form. Mrs. Van Zandt's evei flashed as she said: “I would rather seemy daughter lying dead before me than living on such terms with any man. I would kill her with my own hands first. If that is the kind of a man Spies is. I am glad we have found it out in time.' * Mrs. Van Zandt, speaking of the manner in which she became acquainted with the Anarchists, said: “We ali work a great deal among poor people; it has come to be n sort of religion with nil of ns. 1 have made many sacrifices myself in order to aid them, and I first became interested in the Anarchists because 1 thought I could do them good. Then I arrived at the belief that they were innocent men. and I grew to like Spies personally and thought I was doing his soul good. When I found that my daughter loved Spies the thought ul her marrying him seemed dreadful at first, but it was ber idea to marry him alter he was released. So it went along by degrees and we did see the consequences clearly.” In conclusion Mrs Van Zandt intimated that measures would be taken to remove her daughter from the city for some time, uad *aaiid they would probably remain a way until the Anarchist case was finally disposed of in the courts. . The radical members of DistriCTAssembly, No. Si, last night condemned Sheriff Matson s conduct as an “arbitrary exercise of power,” and his refusal to admit Miss Van Zandt to her lover’s presence “as brutal in the extreme.” a nun xenrx chaxcx. One of the proprietors of s dime museum saw Miss Van Zandt this morning and offered her 13,000 to appear at his place for a week. The young lady refused the ---

PARTISAN IMPUDENCE SauUl-Souled lUpiblteaM Who Ban Risen Itoutawl la Offiee Neiuljr AisaUlif the Administration. Sonde fool friends of. Republican exchiefs of divisions at Washington whose places have beeagiyeiv to supporters of the Administration, while they have been retained as chief clerics at salaries but slightly less than those they have formerly received, have for some time back been sending, slush to Republican journals, telling how incompetent the new chiefs are and hour essential the ex-chiefs are to the conti nued efficiency of the divisions. To a man not wholly Minded by partisanship, the fact that* these chiefs of divisions have been retained in offiee at good pay and have been given positions where they are protected by the civilservice rules as long as they behave themselves, would seem to demonstrate the earnest desire of tide Administration to reform the abuses of the “spoils’’ system. To one not affected with this partisan obliquity of vision, the distinction between an office which involves immediate personal responsi-j bility to the head of the bureau or de-r partment, and which, therefore, requires personal trust and confidence, and a merely clerical position is well marked and easily apprehended. A head of a department may very well desire that his chiefs of division shall be men upon whose fidelity he may rely and who will be in sympathy with his administrative methods, and not the legacies of a former administration and at the same time conscientiously strive to enforce Civil-Service principles as applied to department work gcner? ally. And when he takes pains to provide displaced ex-ehiefa with good clerical positions, it does not fit the Republican mouth very well to assail him for these acts of graciousness. The statement that the Administration or any department thereof is dependent upon these. Republican exchiefs for the efficient conduct of affairs is simple nonsense. If they think the Government can not get along without them, or if they do not think their present pay is great enough, there is ! no law whatever against their resign- , ing.—Detroit Free IVess.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. -As the statistics of the year are published they show that although there has been a Democratic Admiuist rat ion the country has prospered. Our esteemed Republican contemporaries, however, are cheered by the hope that some great national distress may come to the rescue of their lugubrious predictions during the coining year.—Ar. T. World. —-The Navy Department has ordered another trial of the Atlanta, which, it is to be hoped, will be more satisfactory than the first one. Little dependence can lie placed on those Republican contract built vessels left as a tgaey to Secretary Whitney. We will ive to wait for the new ships to be constructed under the auspices of the present Administration.— Albany Argus-. -On a pinch. Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, is willing to admit that the negro has a legal right to vote the Democratic ticket, but he is positive that one who does that things is an ingrpfT who does not deserve his freedom. The negro who would snit Ingalls, then, would only be about hail emancipated. The men who are running the Republican party now arc sot those who freed the negro.—Chicago Herald. ——What a nonentity Senator Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, is, appears from the fact that he received no support, complimentary or otherwise, in the Republican caucus for the nomination of a candidate for United States Senator. The dearth of great men among the Republicans in the State is shown in. the fact that Matthew S. Quay received every vote in the Republican caucus with the exception of nine.—Detroit Free Presto. —-M. S. Quay, the successor to John L Mitchell in the United States Senate was chairman of the pardoning board that's pared Kemble, of “addition, division and silence” litrae, the merited disgrace of a term in the State penitentiary by convoking the board immediately upon the passing of sentence upon him, and rushing a pardon through before he could be removed to prison. The record of this official condoner of corruption has not injured his standing in the party that once boasted of its “moral ideas,” and docs not check the exhnberance of a Chicago organ of the Republican party brand, which, noting the nomination of thjs ringster and political boss in Pennsylvania and of % reputable Democrat in Maine, exultingly adds: “Mr. Quay will be taken and Mr. Clifford left.” For blinding men to the difference between right and wrong, there is nothing like partyism.—Chicago Timee.

What Than? The Republicans arc making a wry face over the fact that the colored official Mr. Matthews hes proven both competent and honest. They have carefully vivisected his record and can find nothing to object to except that he is a Democrat. As a sign of the times the prominence of a Democratic colored man is portentous to the Republican party. Suppose it should become known throughout the South that the R epublicans are not the sole political dependence of the negroes; that the pleasant little fables which were freely circulated in the South in 18SH, to the effect that if the Democrats came into power slavery wonki he once more established and negro children served ap on the half shell to satisfy the ogreish appetite of the Democracy, are shown to be false, what then!* And suppose that the colored people who am not as easily duped as they were ten years ago should get the fatal notion into their heads that a Democratic Administration will look: after their rights, and, as in the Freedman's Bank swindle, help them to ges lawk the money which Republican* stole from them which the Republican party reto make good, what teen?—#.

SURE TO BE BEATEN. Ike Way la WkM the Panei;lnnls ItepubUcans An Fnprlif Their Party'for Defeat. With big majorities at their command the Republicans of New York and Pennsylvania have just demonstrated that they have learned nothing by recent National defeat. The loss of the Presidency on their part was due as much &> the widespread popular impression that the men at tin head of the Republican organization were unworthy as to any other cause. It was hoped by many of the bolters of 1884 that temporary defeat would send some of these fellows to the rear, 'but in the light of recent events in two of the principal States in the Union there seems to be no reason to look for such a result. In New York State the assembly has just re-elected to the Speakership the odorous J. W. Husted, of Westchester County, than whom no legislator in the , last ten years has obtained a more questionable reputation. His methods juucgall been obnoxious to decency and uprightness in politics, and he never yet gained a place of prominence in his party without encountering the protests of the best elements thereof. In Pennsylvania Matthew S. Quay, a long-time henchman of the Cameron gang, has been elected to the United States Senate almost without opposition. He has been associated with all the scandals of Republican rule in that State for twenty years, and has on all occasions proved himself a willing and an efficient tool of the corrupt bosses against whose methods the election of Governor Pattison in 1881 was a protest. As a lobbyist Quay has long been unfavorably'known to the people, and as a politician of the most extreme and reckless type he has commended himself only to the rings which have nbw concluded to give him his reward. It was Quay who worked hand in hand with the notorious Kemble in lobbying through the Pennsylvania Legislature the $4,000,000 grab for the alleged settlement of riot losses iu Pittsburgh. For his part in that labor Kemble was indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary, and it was M. S. Quay, who, as a member of the Board of the State, had a resolution in favor of Kemble’s release ready for the Governor’s signature before the culprit had been, removed from the court where sentence had been passed upon him. In the case of Husted a disposition to adhere to an old and disappointed politician is the worst that can be charged against his party. In the case of Quay the situation i$ different. Nothing but a slavish submission to the dictation of the Camerons, which would have induced the Legislature to select any creature; whom they might name,'can explain the elevation of such a man to the Senate. A party so wedded to its old-time idols, smeared all over and brokers as they. are, is evidently electioneering for another licking.— , Chicago Herald. Jg -•• — 9

UNFULFILLED PROPHECIES. The Predictions ot the Hlnin ■tee Regnntbtc the Country** 1 Instead of sowing that the tions of the Blaiues and the Sh that a change by the people Government would bring disaster i all business ef^rprises the record failures for^ yast sis years seems ter prove tjg| the change was ““de just in time tc save the cOtintry from wholesale ruin jn 1881 tkf) number of failures w ws 5,929. In 1882 this had inf creased to 7,635.

In the last four years of the rule which the croakers sought to convince the people they conld not get along without the commercial disasters nearly doubled. In the first two years of the new management they have decreased by more than one thousand... Probably by another two years they will be back again to the place where they started in 1880. These figures are neither new not surprising to menJ of intelligence and fairness, for the ascendancy of any party which represents the majority of the people will not be injurious to their business or any other interest, hut they need to be hammered into the heads of the men who have attempted to teach the vicious doctrine that changes in party government are apt to hurt anybody except the politicians. The proof here submitted that things were growing worse with great rapidity under Republican rule, and that under Democratic rule they have improved slowly bat surely proves nothing but the propensity of party worshippers to make fools of themselves on very‘Slight provocation. If the improvement should go on the Democratic Blaines and Shermans will need to be warned not to make the same mistakes that have now been shown up in the case of their adversaries. No one party is necessary- to the prosperity of the American people. —Chicago Herald.

The President’s "Mormonism." It is bow asserted by Republican newspapers that “the President is in active sympathy with the Momons to the extent that the law should be softened so as not to interfere with the crime of polygamy,” and to prove this they point to the fact that Amelia Folsom, who was Brigham Young’s favorite wife, is a first cousin at Mrs. Cleveland. As corroborative proof they cite the circumstance that the last annual message contains no allusion to the Mormon question. This is all very ingenious, but it isn’t convincing. Before accepting the statement tbat the President’s opinion -respecting plural marriages has undergone i complete transformation since December, 1885, the public will require more substantial testimony.—Dubuque Telegraph. -The Albany Journal (Blaine Rep) feels called on to remark that “a good many of Mr. Blaine’s fool friends are like frozen dynamite cartridges;when you warm them up at a big dinner, they blow the roof oft”
