During the last ten years in Wash ington, 1). C, seventy men have died suddenly while running after street cars. Tim democrats of Boone county voted down instructions for Bryan ami also refused to endorse Bryan and fret' coinage. Neau Dunbar a large number of the farmers are plowing up their pastures and will seed down with alfalfa, in place of blue grass. Omaha city council has concluded not to submit bonds for $"200,000 for an elec tric light plant until after the canal election takes place. It is now expected that McKinley will mako four speeches in Nobraska, Reed two or three, besides Congressman Dol liver and Hepburn of Iowa. It has become a very common t'jing for the polico of tho great cities to "stand in" with the criminal and loose elements for a consideration, ami thus practically secure a license for them to do what the laws positively forbid. Last Wednesday in state convention the democrats of Ohio had a hot time. U. S. Senator Brico's entrance into the hall was greeted by hisses and cheers. Although there was no direct eensuro in tho resolutions passed, the fact that the convention pronounced in favor of tho election of U. S. senator by a vote of the people, was regarded as a disapproval of Briee's course. A vehv destructive wind storm visited portions of Iowa and Minnesota Friday night, sweeping whole towns out of ex istence, crushing people to death in the wreck of their own homes, scarcely a family iu the path of the storm but mourns some of its members dead. Osage, Mason City, Algona and Forest City, Iowa, and Waseca, Lowther, Dodge Center, Austin, Minn., send to the dailies column after column of particu lars from which wo learn that at Leroy a hotel and three stores were destroyed"; at Spring Valley fifty-three houses and a cold storage depot were demolished, fivepersonsl killed and over thirty in jured; at Laird, buildings destroyed, every window broken by hailstones as loge as hens' eggs, while torrents of water rushed down the streets; killed fifty persons near Mason City; in the vicinity of Cylinder and Emmettsburg, fourteen persons xvero kuled: at Bntt the list of killed is thirty-seven with six more fatally injured; in North Cerro Gordo county, four killed, and live fatally wounded; at and near Osage, eleven persons killed. And so on run the fatalities. Tho destruction of prop erty was fearful, footing up into many scores of thousands of dollars. In some places the 6torm had the characteristics of a hurricane, then a cyclone. In some places one building would be demolished completely, while the one next was left unharmed. Some were crushed down as though an immense weight from alwve had fallen upon him. Tariff Reform. Free Trade Sleans More Taxes. Out of our total imports in 1S92 un der protection, 56.80 per cent were free .of duty. A year later, under tho threat of free trade, only 52.60 per cent were free goods, a decrease of 3.70 per cent in,a single year. Thus free trade means more customs duties than protection, because we buy more foreign stuff and -sake less at home. ,- Protection Means Business. During 33 years of protection 1S60 98 the annual value of tho manufac tures in the United States increased by 9,665,000,000. Is not this enormous frowth, with its consequent increase in -the employment of labor, a satisfactory proof that protection is a good thing for the country? Let well alone. rMfe4-j NEW YORKERS .AT SEA. Strange Predicament Confronts the Democratic Convention. IT HAY BE A BEPETTTTON OF 1876. When the Galleries Nominated Seymour For Governor Probable That Hill Will Be Nominated In the Same Way Tam many Delegates Favor William C. Whit ney Judge Gaynor Not a Candidate. Saratoga, Sept. 25. There is not a man versed in the ways of conventions of political parties that ever saw a scene like that which confronts the Democratic convention. The predicament is ex plained in a very few words by Lieuten ant Governor Sheehau. He said: -There is not a man or politician here that knows who the nominee will be until the con vention completes its work. It is any body's or any faction's candidate and tho convention will be a democratic one in every sense of the word." It iB perfectly probable there will be a j repetition of the convention of 1876, when ' 4-Yta rvoltavioc nn.tiitiatr.fi Rfivmnnr for governor, he afterwards declining to run and Robinson being selected as the candidate. The reception that will be accorded to Senator Hill by the conven tion will undoubtedly take on a remark able phase. It is probable he will be nominated by acclamation from the gal leries. That he will decline, however, is almost certain. Senator 11111 Opens Headquarters. Senator Hill arrived late Monday eve ning and opened headquarters at the Grand Union lintel. Said he: "I re ceived word that I was to be the tempo rary chairman cf tho convention. I know nothing about who is the most probable candidate." He was shown the dispatch about th? declination of Mr. Gaynor, and he said laconically: "It seems the proper thing is to refuse to be a candidate." Several Tammany delegates were seen in regard to the placing of Tammany's strength, and every man favors William C. Whitney. When asked as to the "Flower boom' they seemed to 13 unan imous enough, but expressed little hope of his retracting his withdrawal. Tam many delegates will hold a conference and will probably come out as one man for William C. Whitney. It is announced by the Tammany peo ple that Mr. Whitney will be in Sara toga on Wednesday. This is iu itself significant, for Mr. Whitney was not ex pected to be a visitor at the convention. Further, thoo who arrange for the meetings of the convention have decided to wait a whole day before they take up the nominating of candidates, and it is urged this is iu favor of the Whitney boom, because the delay is evidently to let Mr. Whitney's decision be known be fore final action is taken. The Erie county people, who were credited with having a boom for Daniel M. Dockwood, and the Monroe count people, who were credited with n similar move for Frederick Cook fur governor, are rather apathetic. Tho Lockwood boom looks as if it might die, and, indeed, it is said, that Mr. Lockwood may mako a speech nom inating Spencer Clinton of Bulfalo for judge of the court of appeals. This be ing so, would argue that Mr. Lockwood had decided to withdraw. For lieuten ant governor the name most promiuently mentioned is that of Frederick Cook, who, it is said, will accept the place un der Mr. Whitney, but nobody else. For judge of tho court of appeals, Speucer Clinton of Buffalo has the call, but D. Cady Herrick of Albany is mentioned as a very probable candidate to appease the antimachine men. Judge Gaynor Not a Candidate. RiVF.it Head, N. Y., Sept. 25. Judge Gaynor will not lw a candidate for governor of Xew York. He sent a courteous, but positive letter of declin ation to Saratoga submitting that he was grateful to the people for the handsome way they elected him to the supreme court and that he would not consider it decent to so soon appeal to them for their suffrages to gain another position. Denounce Gorman and fillnon. Baltimore, Sept. 25. The Democrats of Carroll county passed resolutions strongly denouncing Gorman and Gib eon, and advocating the election of sena tors by direct vote. Walker Installed as Receiver. New Youk, Sept. 25. Aldaca K. Walker of Chicago, who was appointed some weeks ago receiver of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, as agreed upon by the reorganization committee, was on the appliction of Milbr, Peckham & Dixon formally appointed by Judge Lacombe to take charge of the interests of the company in the southern district of New York J. W. Reinhart's resig nation was also formally accepted. Corrigan Accused of Conspiracy. New York, Sept. 25. The World pub lishes a page story stating that Arch bishop Corrigan is accused in Rome of a conspiracy. The document is said to be signed by some of the leading Catholics of the country. The old charge is brought out to tho effect that the arch bishop through the assistance of Michael Walsh secured the publication of articles in the Catholic press severely reflecting upon Satolli. Prominent Arkansan Shot. Newport. Ark., Sept. 25. Dr. R. P. Wilson, one of the most prominent men iu Arkansas, was shot and almost in stantly killed by Robert Simmons, chief of police of this place. The tragedy is the culmination of an old fued between the two men. When they met a quarrel ensued and pistols were drawn by both men. Twelve Alleged Leaders Indicted. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 25. The grand jury has indicted 12 of the nlleged leaders in the Pratt mines massacre of July 16, when Deputy Sheriff B. W. Pierce and several negro miners were fclaughtered by otrikers. Several Lodges of L'lks Suspended. Reaping, Pa., Sept. 25. As a result of a meeting held here by the grand offi cers of the Elks, Grand Exalted Ruler William H. Friday of Brooklyn issued a proclamation to all ledges in the United States, saying that by the decision of the courts the Jamestown graud lodge ha3 been recognized as tho onlv legal bodv, and that in lb92 all lodges were directed to stop holding secular sessions, picnics etc.. on the Sabbath day after Jan. 1, 1893. Certain lodges having refused to uuej mis oruer, Air. Fuday suspended the charters of several eastern lodges and n.-inifAH TaT.. - cuci, xu. n. seven or more law abiding members of the suspended lodges may reorganize, I however upon proper application. Strikers Fined For Contempt. Bi-TTE,Mon., Sept. 25.-Jndge Kuowles of the United States circuit court here rendered his decision in the case of the M men arrested at Lima, on the Union Pacific, for contempt of court in inter fering with the running of trains on the road during the recent strike.

Garvin, the operator at Silver Bow; W. B. Dye and H. Barton, railroad employes at Lima, and George Boomer an engineer of this city. They received a sentence of 30 days in jail and a fine of $100. Involves a Coastlttttloaal Question. Washington, Sept. 25. Solicitor Reeve, of the treasury, rendered an opinion which involves the constitutional question whether congress has a right to pass a law which impairs the obligation of contracts. At its last session congress passed an act reducing the compensation of surfmen employed at life saving sta tions on the great lakes. The question at issue was whether this redaction ap plied where contracta with surfmen at i the old rate had been entered. The so- j licitor finds that the said act was not in- ' tended to apply to existing contracts with surfmen at lake stations. Cieufuegos lias Faith In Cleveland. San Francisco, Sept 3. Colonel Cienfnegos, the one San Salvadorean ref ugee remaining in the custody of the United States, is confined in the Oak laud jail. He was shown dispatches from Washington that his prospects for release were very poor. He said: "I don't fear that I shall bo sent back to San Salvador. My attorneys and friends assure me that I am sure to win at Washington. I have been informed that President Cleveland will not sign the warrant of extradition." Trainmen Discuss Federation. Baltimore, Sept. 25. Tho Brother hood of Trainmen commenced its session here. A system of federation uniting the organizations of trainmen, engineers, conductors, firemen and telegraph opera tors was discussed by S. E. Wilkinson, grand master of the trainmen, Dolos Everett, thirl graud master, and Alfred E. Brown, who is grand master of the engineers. The sentiment of the train men is for the proposed federation, but no action was taken. Gen. William Slocum Dead. Ashland, Neb., Sept. 2. General William Slocum died Snuday, aged 14. He was inspector general of the Thir teenth army corjis before and during the siege of Vicksburg, and was breveted brigadier general.

Dr. Carver won two of the three matches, each of which was for $200 a side. flURPHY-FLIMMER FIGHT A DRAW. i'llininer Did the Best Fighting, But Blur pliy's Generalship Saved Him. New Orleans, Sept. 25. The first of the series of fights which will form the pugilistic triple event at the Olympic clnb took place Monday night in the presence of about f,000 spectators. Pro fessor John P. Eckhart, the New York referee, -iTc iated as judge. Murphy md Plimmer fought a 25-round battle for a purse of $2,500; $2,000 to the winner and $500 to the loser. The men were in splendid condition and weighed iu ut the stipulated weight 115 pounds. The stake ring was introduced for the first time and eo far as appearances went seemed to be an improvement cu the old style of inclosnre. Professor John Duffy entered the ring, introducing Referee Eckhart, who was well received. Plimmer was seconded by Billy Mc Carthy, Benny Murphy and Al Robby. Murphy was looked after by James Connery. Jake Kilrain and Andy Bowen. Frank Caramback was onk-ial time keejier.

Gilbert, a prominent lawyer and jurist, died suddenly at Longview, Tex. He was attacked with rheumatism of the heart DELICATESSEN! BAUERKRAUT IS A LUXURY, NOT FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. Farmer Who Put Up Six Hundred Barrels Goes Hunting a Market The Stores Make No Sales and Befase to Buy No Work, No Kraut. I have recently been down to West Virginia, where the people are much troubled over the prospect of free iron and free coal, Because these are about the two largest industries in that Dem ocratic state. I find that the very fear of free trade has hurt West Virginia in more ways than one. Even the farmers have felt it. I had a valnablo conversation with one farmer, who has been a lifelong Democrat, which will be of interest to farmers elsewhere. I rlrst met him on the train as ho was returning home after trying to sell his products. My new found friend owns a large farm along the Ohio river and raises cabbages to make kraut. I asked him "where he usually sold it." "My market has always been in Pitts burg, " said the farmer. "I have been in this business for 10 years and sold my kraut every year for $0 a barrel and with no trouble. That paid mo well." "How much did you -got for it this year?" I naturally asked. -Well," he said, "last fall I had a good crop of cabbages and put up 700 barrels of kraut, which I expected would bring me in $4,200. I wrote to the firm in Pittsburg that always bought my kraut for their prices, and they wroto back and said they could not givo me moro than $4 a barrel." "Why, that meant 1,400 less than usual," I said. "Yes. They said they had no confi dence in this government, and things wero pretty quiet in Pittsburg, and they could not do any better. This got me mad !ecause I was a good Democrat and helped elect this government, so I up and wroto them that I didn't have to take their $4 anyhow, but would wait a bit." "Did they havo to como to you for it afterward?" I asked. "Well," said tho cabbage grower, "I waited a bit and looked around, but didn't see any buyers, so I wroto thorn I would take their $4. You bet I hated to havo to come to their terms." "So you sold it, then, for $1,400 less than you usually got?" I asked. "I'm if I did!" ho answered, with a thump of his fist on tho seat in front of him that mado a passenger sit ting on it jump up as if ho had been shot. "No, sir," he continued. "Those fel lows then wero so doggouo mean that they wrote back and told mo they couldn't take it at any price; that tho men who usually bought kraut from them wero out of work and had no money to buy anything. " "That must havo mado you feol mad?" I suggested sympathiziugly. "Mad! Mad wasn't in it. I cursed around so that nobody camo near me for a mouth. I felt they wero just guy ing mo because they knew I was a good Democrat, and I had never had any trouble with them before in all the 10 years wo did business together. You bet I was mad." "What did you do then?" was my next question. "Well, sir, I mado up my mind that they should seo I could sell kraut if they couldn't, and good kraut it was too. I started out then in earnest to hunt a market." "Where did you sell it, after all?" "Well, sir, I havo been hunting a market ever since. I am just come now from Cincinnati after being away two weeks on my last trip, and I'll be if I can find a living soul anywhere who wants to buy one single barrel of kraut or of anything else. " "That seoins too bad. I can hardly believe it, " I said earnestly. "Yes, sir, it's true. I've tried my hardest so as not to let thoso Pittsburg fellows see I was beaten. But every where I went it's the samo answer, 'Men not at work, so no sale for any thing. ' For 10 years I had no trouble, but under this Democratic government Tvhich I helped to elect, I've lost tho tale of 700 barrels of kraut that ought to have brought me $4,200." "What are you going todo about it?" I said, with interest. "Do? Do?" he answered. "There' 8 only one thing to do, and that is to turn these fellows out. I'm a Republican now. No more Democrats for me. I'm for protection. No moro free trade for me. This free trade talk has cost me $4,200, and I'm working hard now for tho Republicans, sir, and we Republic ans expect to carry this state of West Virginia by a majority of 15,000 or 20,- 000, and, by , wo'll do it."

Japan's Naval Commanders Re ceived American Educations. STRIKE COMMISSION WILL MEET. Hearings to Be Besumed In Washington to Listen to Suggestions and Testimony. Pugilist Sullivan Calla at the White House Marines Sick With Fever-Father McSIahon's Services Recognized. Washington, Sept. 25. The naval officers here are taking the greatest in terest in the naval battle between the Japanese and Chinese at Yaln river, one of the most interesting features being the fact that the Japanese vessels are almost all commanded by officers educated at the United States naval academy at An napolis. The admiral commanding Japan's fighting squadron was the second Japa nese cadet graduated from Annapolis, and all the captains commanding Japan's ironclads in the gulf of Pe-Che-Li are from the United States naval academy. "We are proud of our pupils," said an officer, who was superintendent of the naval academy when the greatest num ber of Japanese cadets that were enrolled at the school during any series of years were graduated. "When you remem ber that these lads had first to learn our language sufficiently to be able to study it and that their class standihg was al ways good, I think their cleverness will be considered. Unlike, the Chinese, they are born sailors, and took to seamanship as a seagull takes to the sea. Indeed, they outclassed two-thirds of our west ern born cadets, from states far from the sea, in the readiness with which they acquired the practical knowledge of the sailor. "They possessed two romurkable qual ities. They were all trained swordsmen and the best athletes wo had. A know ledge of the 8 word is a part of every Japanese gentleman's education, which he begins when ho learn to read. "It has sometimes been a trifle embar rassing to meet one of my old pupils who had more naval rank than I had, but still the Annapolis educated naval olli cers have done more than can be told to increase Ainericau influence iu the Orient. Japan educates her military students in France, usually at St. Cyr, but-the sailors she always sends to us. "We have have had 16 at Annapolis and graduated 11. Of the others four had about fiuished the course when two were struck down with typhoid fever and thus failed to graduate. One broke his leg by an ugly fall on the ice, and of the other two, one was recalled by his father's death, and the other by the order of tho emperor was sent to St. Cyr. Of these mentioned, we graduated tho first Japanese pupil in 1872. He is now chief of the naval department of his country. The -econd man is the admiral commanding Japan's boat fleet. He has had the houor of fighting the first battle between modern ironclads." STRIKE COMMISSION WILL MEET. Hearings to Be Resumed In Washington to Listen to Suggestions and Testimony. Washington. Sept. 25. The United States strike commission, appointed by the president to investigate the recent Chicago laoor troubles, adjourned its hearings from Chicago to Washington and tiie commission will meet in this city at the department of labor on Wednesday, Sept. 26, at 11 o'clock a.m., at which time, as announced at the close of the session in Chicago, the com mittee will le ready to receive in writing any suggestions which may ba made relative to the solution of the questions involved in tho latter conference. It will also hear any parties who may de sire to be heard relative to the facts, and the commission may. after a careful ex amination of the testimony which has already been taken, conclude to call further witnesses to supplement that which has been given on either side. Father McSIahon's Services Recognized. Washington, Sept. 25. Archbishop Satolli, on behalf of Pope Leo, has con ferred on the Rev. James McMahon of the Catholic university an appointment as a prelate of the Hoby See with the title of monsignor. A letter accompany ing the note of appointment said that it was in recognition of Father McMahon's services to tho university in which ho has taken much interest and to which he has given a large part of his immense fortune. Sullivan Calls at tho White House. Washington, Sept. 25. John L. Sullivan, while driving about town, dropped in at the White House. The placed was closed for repairs, so the ex pugilist was not admitted, although he explained to the watchman at tho main door that he was much better known than he who occupied the mansion. Blarlnea Sick With Fever. Washington, Sept. 25. The Colum bia, which has been on guard at Blue fields with theJMarblehead for several months, arrived at Port Limon.

There is much to study in the accom panying table. It could bo extended in definitely, but enough has been given to show our marvelous growth in S3 years. Our population has little moro than doubled, yet our wealth has increased more thai, fourfold. Our manufactures have increased more than sixfold, our 1M0. 1690.

C87,19i,17t5 1,714,004,118 foreign trade has about trebled and onr farm values more than doubled. But it is in wages and savings that the greatest advance is shown, and where do we ever see the fruits of protection that wo do not seo increased wages and savnga? In tho last generation tho wages of onr people have increased more than sevenfold and our savings more than twelvefold, and during the same time we havo paid off nearly 2,000,000,000 of national debt. In 1860 our exports amounted to 333,570,057, in 1892 to $1,030,278,148, and yet, enormous as is our foreign trade, it is small indeed compared with our domestic trade, which last year was estimated to be about 60,000,000,000. Now we are asked to givo up this grand home market in the hopes of in creasing our foreign sales by a few mil lions. We are asked to accept half or quarter of these wages. We are asked to draw out these savings and buy the products of other lands. We are asked to sacrifice these manufactures and S anna.to, topoyerlshjinrselves as we.djd just before the era of protection began. If tho McKinley bill is chauged for one with. lower duties, we shall lose more in a decado than we have won in a generation. What a different set of figures the 1900 column would show after seven years of freo trade ! It can not last more than seven years at tho longest RICHARD COBDEN A FALSIFIER. Without Protection England Caaaot Hold Her Own. It is astounding to note how falsified are all the predictions of Richard Cobden and how true, in only 60 years, have been the statements unheeded at the time that the days would come when Englishmen would have to submit to German wages, German hours of labor, German food, or to leave their land of birth and seek for fair remuneration, in lands where protection to native labor was in force, and tho bone, sinew and capital of man was not handicapped by pauper labor. Do not all our ablest statesmen of both political parties, our bankers, our merchants, our manufac turers concur with our landlords and farmers that withont protection, wisely and carefully sustained, England can not hold her own against all "the civi lized world?" Driven out of all "civi lized markets," the search for new mar kets among tho uncivilized millions of Africa, who only uso three yards per annum of calico to cover their loins, will not replace tho loss of our Eu ropean, American, Indian, Chincso and Japanese customers.
