FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1H. 1895.

THE free traders began by throwing the working people out of their jobs. Now the working people are retaliating by throwing the free traders out of their jobs. Turn about is fair play-

THE mention of "Dan" Lamont for the candidacy shows the Democracy to be in a merrier mood than was expected. The preper man for the Republicans to put up against him would be Chauncey M. Depew. Then the country would have a canvass to de1 light the heart of a Gilbert and Sullivan.

THE present year is notable for its enormous apple crop. The United States has produced an aggregate of 00,000,000 barrels, which total is larger by something over 8,000,000 than the estimated number of barrels for the year 1889, when the census authorities made an exhaustive attempt to form a correct idea of the yearly production.

THE tariff will be the great issue next year. It is bound to come to the front. Every monthly statement of receipts and expenditures proves that we must have a tariff for revenue. The result of the recent elections shows that the people want a tariff for protection, a tariff that will guarantee plenty of work at good wages and a lair profit to capital.

THE REPORT FROM ABROAD.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: Travelers returning from their summer outing in Europe report good tfmes beyond the sea. Those who were in position to know how the old world has been faring for several years generally add that times have greatly improved, especially as compared with four or five -years ago.

The explanation is not far to find. Under the tariff of-1890 this country exported many millions of dollars' worth of products and wares in excess of our imports. The balance of "trade was largely in our favor. But three years ago this month a great and general change came. The free trade legislation foreshadowed by the election of Cleveland and a Democratic Congress did not come for some time, and has been in operation "only about one-half the time Mr. Cleveland has been in the Presidential office the second time, but the effect was felt almost immediately,! and worst of all about a year afterJlis election.

It was in 1S93 ?that the snow of winter fell in such copious abur dance, and great drifts barred the doors of in"dustry, but hard times had come long before. November seldom has good •\sleighing, but a killing frost is sure to J,whiten the ground, 1893 was American industry's year of the great frost, and 1893 of the great snow.

But foreign industries did not derive anything like the advantage from our industrial depression that they expected. A country which is not prosperous is a poor market, except for the bare necessaries of life. It is true that under a sensible and patriotic tariff the American people will export much more than they import, but the imports will be mainly in the nature of luxuries. The poor man buys what he cannot do without, but the chief expenses of the rich are for things that do not figure as necessary to comfort.

There is the same broad difference between a people basking in the sunshine of prosperity and a people shiv enng in a snowdrift of adversity.

WHAT WlLili THEY DO? Reports from Washington are to the effect that Secretary Carlisle has thrown up his hands and is willing to admit that the Democratic tariff fails ,'t) produce the necessary amount of revenue to meet the demands of the government, and that be will in his report to Congress ask for such legislation as will increase the government receipts. The reports do not indicate what the secretary wiil recommend, but he wants more money aud will ask a Republican Congress to help him out of the hole in in which he and the country was placed by a Democratic

Congress. The people decided some time ago, Bays the Toledo Jllulc. that there must be something done to increase the reveuue. They know that for the lirst full year of the Urice-tJorman tariff law's operation there was a deficit of 5)sixty-six million dollars. Knowing

this they have, at every opportunity, voted the Republican ticket, feeling confident that the only relief lay in the supremacy of that party. Secretary Carlisle has seen his helplessness, but now is willing to admit it and ask for aid.

It is not known what he will recommend. The President was in favor of the Wilson bill, a measure which would have made a yet more sweeping reduction in the revenues. The question is if Congress should lay a dutj on, say wool and lumber, would Mr. Cleveland turn his back upon the past and sign the bills, or would he stand by his free trade views and veto such measures in spite of the condition of the treasury? President Cleveland should remember, however, that the Congress soon to convene has had its instructions from the people since he had his.

But Mr. Cleveland and his secretary of the Treasury will have an opportunity to show to the country their ability and capacity in extricating the country from the serious condition in which their party has placed it. Can they do it? V/ill they do it? Or will they place obstacles in the way of -its being done by a Republican Congress?

Neiv School House Wanted at Now Market.

The citizens of New Market held a mass meeting at the school house last night for the purpose of petitioning the Township Trustee to erect a new school house. The meeting was presided over by school director Vancleave and Eph Vanscoyoc actedas secretary. Short addresses were made by several and it was shown that the school at present was in a very crowded condition, and with the presetit high school course it is a necessity to have four rooms in order to properly conduct the school. The meeting was unanimously in fayor of asking the Trustee to erect a new building as soon as it could be done. A petition to this effect was numerously signed, and is being circulated for more names.

New Market is a growing place and the citizens take pride in their school, showing a progressive spirit which should be encouraged, and undoubtedly will be looked upon favorably by the township trustee.

A Fiend Murders a Woman and Her Daughter in Texas.

THE TRAGEDY OCCURS AT LAREDO.

Upon the Discovery of His Crlmo, and Fearful of Being Lynched, the Cowardly Murderer Puts a Bullet

Through His Own Hear:.

Laredo, Tex., Nov. 14.—A diabolical murder of a mother and child, it is believed for the purpose of robbery, was revealed Wednesday, followed by the self-destruction of the fiend, when he realized that his crimes had been discovered and lynching awaited him in all probability. It is believed the murdered woman was Mrs. Caroline Menn, of Dallas, Tex. Her child was a girl of about ten years. The murderer is supposed to be William or Sam Kuntz, of Kansas City. Kuntz stated while here that he had been a master mecflanic for railroad, and letters were found in his trunk addressed to William Kuntz, 157 Grand avenue, Kansas City.

Last Monday evening a tall, fine- looking man, accompanied by a woman and pretty girl, registered at the Hotel Hamilton as C. Schuler and family. At three o'clock Tuesday afternoon Schuler, who was really Kuntz, hired a buggy and took the woman and girl to the depot, despite the inclement weather. At five o'clock he returned the vehicle and ate supper at the hotel without exciting any suspicion, retiring afterwards.

The Dead Bodies Found.

During the night a shepherd discovered two bodies lying in the brush in Chacon bottom, just beyond a small reservoir, 2y3 miles from Central City. He noticed trails where the bodies had been dragged through the thorns by the murderer and the prints of the buggy wheels were noticed on the ground. Without touching the bodies he came to the city mid notified the recorder. Officers proceeded at once to the scene of the crime and removed the bodies to the city. They were identified as those of the woman and child who had gone riding with Kuntz. buieule of clio Murderer.

The news of the murders was known all over the city early Wednesday morning and the sequel came at 0 o'clock. The proprietor of the hotel knocked at Kuntz's room and asked him where his family was. Kuntz replied that he had taken them to Aztec, where they had taken the limited train for Mexico. "I think you are mistaken,"said the proprietor, "your family is not in Mexico."

Kuntz shut the door and drawing a revolver shot himself through the heart. On iiis person was found a cigar case containing over $1,600 in bank bills. On the cigar case was stamped Sam Kuntz. It is believed his brother lives in Fort Worth, and he was at once notified of the tragedy. bow They Were Slain.

The wounds on the child's body and the position in which it was found indicated that she died a lingering death, she was cut slightly on the left knee us tliodyb she hud fallen on a sharp stone, and the left side of her head was cut as though by a glancing blow of a club There was another wound on the top or her head, but death had come from a knife wound in the neck, severing the jugular vein and carotid artery. The body was found on its back, the little arms raised as though to ward off the murderous blow.

Mrs. Menu, who was rather stout and about 40 years old, was shot in the breast and probably struck a crushing blow on the head, breaking the skull 'J he fiend, in Jack the liipper style, then used his knife, stabbing his victim once on the tront side of the shoulder, the blow ranging downward, once in-the center of the left breast, twice in [he stomach, once in the abdomen and unce in the right side, between the sixth and seventh ribs. The blood stained murderer then probably killed the child with his dripping knife to make sure there would be no living witness of his deed.

AVas Her Lover.

Kuntz spent most of his time while here in saloons, and no doubt meditated the deed. In the murdered woman's trunk was l'ouud a marriage license bearing the names ot Catherine Menu and Theodore -Menn. Kuntz was once chief engineer of lleiui's brewery, Kansas City.

A dispatch from Fort Worth says that M. A. lierokl, a resident ol that city, is a son of the murdered woman. Jlerold, upon being notified ot the tragedy, told a story which discloses a romance. He says he is the illegitimate son of a German noble, lie took ins father's name His mother came to tiiis country, lie, when man, followed in search of her. They met in St. Louis, she recognizing him by a mark on his ear. She in her later life was not more chaste than in her earlier days, and lie says the name of the suicide is William Kuntz, who was her lover here. When she left, she went to Dallas, thence to Houston, and ahe took with her $2,200. Kuntz, fired by jealousy, followed her. Schilder was one ot Kuntz's assumed names. The child was the daughter of Mrs. Menu's stcp-daugliter. The woman, though 50, looked barely 30, and though stout, still showed remains of great brunette beauty.

•lumped Ills Bund.

Oklahoma City, O. T., Nov. 14.—W. II Carr, ex-deputy United States marshal, lias jumped his $15,000 bond and is said to be in Mexico or South America, lie was charged with murder in assisting Hob and Bill Christian, the outlaws, to escape from jail, Chief of Police .JOHLS being killed at the time.
