LEFT BY THE G. 0. P.'; ' i 1 1 DEFICIT IS ONE OF THE REPUB- \ i LICANS’ LEGACIES. i 1 Treasury Embarrassments Caused by I JS Mortgages of the Reed CongressCalamity Howlers Don’t Know They Are Dead—Prohibitive Duties. t Republican Deficit. When Tanner said "God help the t surplus,” he fastened by confession on the Republican party all the blame for the deficit which Secretary Carlisle finds at the elose of the fiscal year. Treasury embarrassments caused by the mortgages of the Reed Congress ‘ predstined the panic of 1893 and the 1 deficit of 1895. It was an embarrassed treasury which engendered the distrusts of the Government’s ability to continue redemption of currency notes. * It was a McKinley tariff which bam- ‘ pered trade and prevented a norma 1 Increase of customs revenues. l ong . ' before Harrison vacated the White . * House every financier in America per- ' ‘ ceived that trouble was impending and : 1 that the Government must issue bonds ' * or default in its payments. Harrison's | 1 Secretary of Treasury had the bonds ’ ready, and only by sharp practice was ■ able to drag along until the 4th of ‘ March, 1893. Republican extravagance made a de- 1 fieit and a panic, which, by reducing ’ trade and revenue receipts, prevented ’ the immediate success of Democratic 1 efforts to administer the government > economically and honestly. A Democratic tariff is encouraging 1 trade. The Government's receipts are 1 increasing. Wages are rising. Mines ’ and factories are busy. The farmer is : getting better prices. The merchant < is selling more goods. Exports are more active. American securities are attracting purchasers. A Republican administration left financial confusion t and universal gloom. The Democratic 1 administration will leave confidence < in the good faith of the Government, t a balance in the treasury, a prosperous i condition of business, and a Hopeful ; people. 1 If the policy of the Harrison admin- t Istration and the Fifty-first Congress ] had continued to this date, it would ' have increased the national debt by ( hundreds of millions, if it could, in- j deed, have avoided the disgrace of a | , suspension of specie payments. < We are dealing with a Republican . deficit. Under Democratic manage- , meut we shall wipe out and recuperate ‘ from its effects, as we overcame the Republican panic and restored the ac- | tivity of business.—New Democrat, ( Georgetown. O. Prohibitive Duties Yield No Revenue. The New York Press insists that in order to secure more revenues the ' country must return to the McKinley tariff. At the same time that trade- 1 hating organ demands the imposition ' of duties sufficiently high to "keep American markets for our own goods,” ! and asserts that under Democratic rule “our market has been handed over to foreigners.” It does not appear that the Press un- I derstands the real nature of the protec- 1 tiou swindle which ii advocates. For j < in favoring a tariff high enough to shut ! out foreign goods and keep our mar- j kets for ourselves, it loses sight of its claim that a high tariff is necessary in order to raise large revenue. If it is sound public policy to keep out foreign goods by a prohibitive wall, how is it possible to obtain any revenue from . duties on goods? On the other hand, If foreign products come in in spite of duties of from 50 to 120 per cent., how Is the home producer benefited? If foreign goods are sold instead of those manufactured at home, It does not matter that their price may be increased by added customs duties, so long as they take the place of domestic products. The short-sighted manufacturer who wantsprotection so that it will prevent outside competition, will not be I satisfied with anything less than t total exclusion of foreign goods, but if a tariff is constructed on those lines how will it yield large revenues? It must be apparent to every intelligent citizen that the two reasons which the Press gives for returning to McKinleyism directly contradiet each other. A high tariff either excludes foreign goods, in whicn case no revenue is derived, or else it admits them to our markets. It cannot prevent competition and at the same time provide for public expenses. It is either a barrier to commerce or a fraudulent pretense to benefit our home industries, in either case it is an exploded superstition. Abandoning MeKiuleyisin. The Chicago Tribune, one of the leading Republican organs of the West, refuses to join with its high tariff contemporaries in their claim for the restoration of McKinleyism. In a recent editorial that paper shows that it realizes that the drift of public sentiment Is against returning to protection, and advocates an increase in internal revenue taxation to meet any deficit in the public revenues. The Tribune's conversion to sound economic doctrines is further emphasized by its statement that there is no way in which the revenues can be so easily increased as through direct taxes. This change of position on the part of a Republican paper is important as evi deuce that the logic of Democratic good times is convincing the people that any further agitation for high tariffs and trade restrictions would be injurious to the business interests of the country. Newspapers reflect the sentiments of their readers and patrons, and if a promint ut Chicago daily finds it expedient to oppose Republican tariff tinkering. it shows that the business men of that ‘ity are satisfied to let well alone. Os course the narrow partisan

papers, which are paid to spread lies by the monopolists who were benefited by McKinleyism, will continue to publish what their owners dictate. But the independent press is finding that the tide of commercial prosperity is running too strong to cheek it by demands for the high taxes and commerce restriction which caused the panic of 1893-94. It therefore avoids the tariff question or favors tariff reform. In either case these papers furnish proof of the wisdom of the Democratic policy. Splendid Results from “Free Wool.’* The great impulse and quickening which the Wilson "free wool" tariff and lower duties have given to American manufactories of woollen fabrics are daily becoming more and more evident The demand for American raw wools under the new tariff has so increased that the price has risen about two cents per pound. During the eleven months ending with May last 185.231.341 pounds of wool (eleven-twelfths of which were by the Wilson law free of duty) were imported to meet the new and large demand of our expanding Woollen industries. This vast amount exceeded by 136.(100,009 pounds the imports of the corresponding period of the previous year. In nine months ending May last 71.320.453 pounds of clothing wool were imported. The American people will save on their clothing and other woollen goods tens of millions of dollars every year through the operation of the Wilson tariff. Manufacturers are placed by it in the best position they ever occupied. Already labor also has begun to profit by the Wilson tariff, and in forty woollen mills wages have been reported advanced. “Protectionists" are dazed’ and dismayed by these splendid results of free trade in wool. Don’t Know that They Are Dead. The calamity wailers who are trying to convince the American people that the country is suffering from the blight of free trade do not seem to realize th.: their laments fall on closed ears. Their wilful blindness to the wonderful improvement in trade and industry which has followed the adoption of the Wilson tariff resembles the perversity of a miner who had fallen down a shaft. Thinking that the unfortunate man was dead, his comrades placed him in a coffin and started to carry him to the graveyard. On the way the supposed corpse pushed off the coffin lid and, sitting up, asked: "Where am I?" “Whist, ye blackguard." was the reply, “don't you know when you’re dead?" The MeKihleyites who were laid out in 1892 are foolish enough to thiuk that the defeat of the Democrats last fall means the revival of the high tariff corpse. But the elections of 1594 merely showed that the people were disgusted with Democratic delay in abolishing protection, and now that the result of less than a year of tariff reform has been to restore the prosperity which McKinleyism blighted, there will be no more talk from the late lamented. Tariff. Farmers who killed their sheep last year when the protectionists began to cry "ruin" to American wool growing interests probably wish now that they had placed less reliance upon the utterances of the tariff agitators. Mr. E. P. Smith writes to the American Cultivator: "There are the best of reasons for believing that by next winter wool will bring good, profitable prices in this country, and that there will be a greater demand for good sheep and rams than the supply in the country will furnish.” And yet protectionists declared that the removal of the duty on wool meant sure death to American sheep raising!—Philadelphia Record.

Two Hearts that Beat as Two. Foraker took the stump in McKinley’s campaign in 1891, though he prayed every day that McKinley might be defeated. The Governor will make a showing for the party’s sake; but he ill be against Foraker for Senator, and Foraker will be against McKinley for President. The Governor would prefer Brice to Foraker for the firstnamed office, and rather than support McKinley for President Foraker would vote for Wade Hampton of South Carolina, Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentucky. Joe ’Wheeler, the "rebel" cavalry leader of Alabama. Grover Cleveland of Buzzard’s Bay, or the devil.—Cincinnati Enquirer. The People Have Seen Light. This country grew rich under the McKinley law for awhile, and the fact deceived those who knew no better. But th? people sre now beginning in understand that the country increased in wealth not because of protect ion, but in spite of it. They see that the $1,000,000,000 taken annually from the earnings of the people to enrich tin: trusts and favorites was a draft upon the bone and sinew of labor. They understand now that this money serves as a fund by which earners may buy comforts for their families, and thus Increase the volume of business among tradesmen.—Kansas City Times. Responsibilities Not to Be Shirked. The people are delegating too much power to individuals. We are exalting officialism to an undue degree. Citizenship means more than voting and paying taxes. We cannot shirk our responsibilities or unload them upon men chosen to official position.—St. Louis Republic. Just for the Sake of Harmony. Mr. McKinley, it is said, rather favors an early convention next year, but it is also said that Joseph B. Foraker, merely for the sake of harmony, would prefer that the presidential convention be delayed until the senatorial business is disposed of. Joseph is great on harmony at times.—Dayton Times.

TOILS DRAW TIGHTER CHICAGO POLICE THINK THEY WILL CONVICT HOLMES The Modern Bluebeard’s Gauzy Tale Concerning Pitzel—Saya the Latter Committed Suicide—The Mysterious “Mascot” Located in Arkansas. Holmes Tells a Story. 11. H. Holmes tells to the Philadelphia police an entirely new version us his connection with Pitzel, who is supposed to have been murdered for his life insurance. Ho says the two had on foot a plan to defraud the insurance company; that whiie in Philadelphia Pitzel became despondent over financial difficulties, the sickness of his daughter in St. Louis, and other matters, and threatened to commit suicide. Holmes then avers that he jokingly remarked to Pitzel; “Well, your body is as good as any other, but I would not advise you to do anything rash.” On the following day. Sunday. Holmes says he went to the Callowhite street house wheie Pitzel was stopping, and found a note telling him that the suicide had been accomplished. The letter pleaded that Holmes look after Pitzel’s children. and suggested that there would be no difficulty in getting the insurance money from the Fidelity company, now that the dead body of Pitzel could be produced In evidence. Holmes then told of the appearance of the corpse, and said that he sat in the room with the body for over an hour. He finally made up his mind that since Pitze? had taken his life there would be no harm in destroying any evidence of suicide, so that he might be able to get the insurance on Pitzel’s life without any difficulty. Holmes has confessed that he thereupon dragged the dead body to the second floor, laid the corpse on the floor, pried open the mouth of the dead man with a pencil and poured in a quantity of explosive chemicals. He then, he sayt, placed a lighted match to the man’s mouth, when the explosion which so horribly disfigured the corpse followed. To give the more forcible impression that Pitzel came to his death by an accidental explosion Holmes stated to the police that he got a pipe of Pitzel’s, filled it with tobacco, lighted it, then blew out the flame, after

H. N. MUDGETT, ALIAS H. H. HOLMES, AND HIS SUPPOSED VICTIMS

the tobacco had been partly consumed, and placed the pipe beside the dead man’s body. Search in the basement of the Chicago house has revealed almost everything sug gestive of dark crime except a corpse. I Skeletons and bones were there, but these may have been procured from medical colleges or other sources; they furnish no proof of murder. More mysterious vats, I tanks, retorts and kindred devices have [ been unearthed. And most important of all, there has been found in the Arkansas penitentiary a man who is said to have been closely associated with Holmes in his fraudulent life insurance deals and who assisted in the transfer of the Fort Worth, Texas, property of the missing Williams girls. This man is known by the name of Hatch, A. E. Allen. A. E. Bond, Caldwell and “Mascot,” and it is thought was Holmes' confidential agent. He is serving a fifteen-year term for horse-stealing, and be is now 55 years old. He claims to know all about the disap- ' pearance of the Williams girls and the Pitzel children, but refuses to tell until he is pardoned for his present term and relieved of two more indictments for horse-stealing. Holmes not long ngo asserted that the man Hatch took the Pitzel children to Toronto, in the company of Minnie Williams, and that if he could be found he could clear up the mystery of their death. An attorney went from Chicago to Lit tie Rock to treat with the authorities of Arkansas for the release of the old man, and the strongest influence will be used to secure all he knows. One other man now held by the Chicago police is thought to know enough to convict Holmes. This is Pat Quinlan; but in convicting Holmes be will also convict himself, so he has the strongest incentive to keep his mouth shut. On the other hand, Hatch will have the reward of liberty for his disclosures, in case the latter are conclusive. So it is upon him that the police pin their faith. Close of the Harvey-Horr Debate, While it is not likely that the HorrHarvey debate has had the result of converting any oue from his deep-rooted convictions it may, and undoubtedly has, broadened the views of many. The mere fact that Mr. Horr and Mr. Harvey could keep each other so busy in making replies is of some value as an indication that the subject is broad enough to admit of inspection from opposing sides. From the opening of the finance controversy there has been a general feeling that the public would be helped and enlightened by the collection of the arguments on both sides and the arraying of I these arguments one against the other. | Through Mr. Harvey and Mr. Horr each ; faction to the financial question has pre- ; sented its ease, and in such away that the arguments pro and con come into im- : mediate contrast. The rules of debate I forbid a contestant to submit an opinion for which be cannot immediately offer a

logics! explanation, the result being that there is little chance for the slurring as doubtful points and the suppression of adverse facts which are possible in a mere ex parte argument. It is, of course, to be regretted that the debaters buried their arguments in such an enormous mass of verbiage, but the arguments are there and may well repay the digging out. On the whole, a public which has shown a genuine desire to get enlightenment on the financial issue can hardly fail to find some profit in this general stirring up of the fundamental facts. WEATHER AND CROPS Not a State Report Tells of Unfavorable Conditions. The reports as to conditions of crops throughout the country and the general influence of weather on growth, cultivation and harvest are summarized by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as follow’s : Illinois.—Exceedingly favorable week. Severe local storms northwest counties on Friday, damage not irreparable. Corn growing splendidly, roasting ears in early fields. Oats, wheat and rye threshing retarded. Late potatoes, gardens, pastures and second crop clover, millet and fodder crops growing finely. Fruit abundant in central and southern sections. Fall plowing general in same sections. Wisconsin.—Heavy soaking rains have generally benefited corn and potatoes. Pastures again becoming green and milk supply increusing. Threshing and fall plowing now general. Cranberries promise a fair crop. Tobacco growing finely. Michigan.—Very beneficial showers in southern half of State, but not enough rain in northern half. Com and potatoes generally improved, but pastures are still very poor. Oats harvest well along, straw short and yield of grain light. Indiana.—Good growing weather, with several rains. Corn earing and growing fast. Potatoes look well. Pastures recovering. Wheat and rye threshing done. Oats threshing continues. Fall plowing progresses rapidly. South Dakota.—Temperature averaged about normal. Fair to copious, though scattered, night showers benefited all late ctops, but more general rains needed. Fine harvesting w’eather and wheat harvest advanced. Corn growing rapidly ami potatoes and flax improving. Nebraska. —Small grain harvest nearly completed, and some threshing done;

yield very heavy in northwestern section. Corn has continued to suffer from drought in southeastern section, where aliout onehalf crop is now expected. Corn in northern part of State needs rain, but is,not damaged; in southeastern part it continues good. Kansas.—Abundant rains in west half of State, light rains in east half, greatly benefited all crops west, permitting threshing and haying east. Harvest begun in western counties. Much corn dead in Dickinson. Cloud and Washington Countses for want of rain this season. lowa.—Temperature and sunshine about normal. Considerable damage to crops by local wind and hail storms. Oats harvest about completed and threshing in progress with heavy yields. Corn steadily maintaining its lead and promises to break previous records. The ' Gladstone having retired from politics he seems to have taken his majority with him. Arizona conies to the front with a petrified human heart. That's mighty hard to beat, Mrs. Frank Leslie is coming home again. There will be general curiosity to learn his name. Michigan has decided that for judicial purposes an oath administered by teleI hone is binding. That decision seems to be sound. Cincinnati has a woman's street-clean-ing brigade. ’Tis woman who rules the world, and the broom is oftentimes her weapon. Speaking of the silver movement the Chattanooga Times refers to “the sober second thought in Kentucky.” Is there any such thing ? An Aard wolf in the New Y'ork zoological garden’s “happy family" made a meal of three terri — pups the other day. That was indeed Aard. The rubber trust announces that it will materially raise prices Sept. 1. In other words it purposes to substitute an “o” for the “u” in its name. For the first time in five years Kansas and Nebraska have all all the rain they want. This is also the first year that “rainmakers” have kept out of those States. A New York paper demands “some sort of invention which will make shipwrecks safe.” That isn’t a bad idea. But after it is secured we give notice now that we | shall rise and demand an invention to I make railway " recks enjoyable.

I m: City Council of West Indianapolis unanimously passed a resolution offering a reward of SSOO for any information leading to arrest of the murderer of little Ida Gebhardt. David Martin, aged 15. and Al. Ruskin of Greentown, aged 11, were on abed playing with a revolver, when the weapon was discharged, tearing away the jaw of Ruskin. The injury is probably fatal. Walter, the 17-year-old son of A. J. MePike of Paragon, was stealing a ride on an 1. & V. passenger train recently. In jumping from the train, his head struck against a car on the side track and he died from the effects. William Eckerman. the 19-year-old son of Louis Eckerman. of Terre Haute, has been missing for several months, and from information received it is bili.ieil he‘w as drowned in L ike Michigan, while working on a Chicago boat. One fanner in St. Joseph County reports three kinds of potato bugs, the last variety being to al! appearances poison-proof. These, with cabbage worms, grasshoppers, chinch bugs.

ically wondering, “What next?” .1 xmes M. Sankey of Terre Haute, Geo. W. Hall of Raleigh, and Samuel Bowan of South Bend, representing the State Live Stock Sanitary Commission, have just completed an investigation of the extent of the Texas cattle fever in Putnam County. They report that the disease has spread and now appears in four counties—Putnam, Hendricks, Park, and Morgan, and that 250 head of cattle have been quarantined. Fifteen deaths have occurred so far. and every effort is being made to suppress the disease. Dr. F. A. Bolsar of New Castle, State Veterinary, was present during the investigation. A. D. Hensleb anil other farmers of Liberty Township, Howard County, were made tne victims ot the old tin box swindle last week. A man giving his name as John Schmidt, a horse buyer, went to Ilensler several days ago, engaged boarding and Mr. Heusler’s assistance in buying horses, they purchasing a large number ot animals, some being paid for and some not. Schmidt brought with him a small tin box which lie said contained S2.OX) in cash, which he kept at the Hensler home while buying and shipping. The other day Schmidt mysteriously disappeared and has not since been heard of. Tiie defrauded farmers took the tin box to Kokomo, expecting to be made whole out of the $2,000 it was supposed to contain, but when Sheriff Sumption cut it open with a hatchet there was revealed to sight two ordinary Clay bricks, nothing more. One of the lioldest roblieries ever perpetre’- ’ th ■ ,ti - i; f th. couutiy occurred the other nignt w ithin a stone’s throw of the city limits of Union City. Ths residence of David Potter, just nortii-west of the city limits, was the scene. Mr. Potter was aroused about 2 o’clock by a loud crash. He jumped from his bed and was confronted by four men with red handkerchiefs over their faces. Mr. Potter was seized and bound, and his wife and son were similarly treated. Mr. Potter had taken a large quantity of wheat to town the day before, and it is supposed the robbers entered for the purpose of getting the money he received. However, thev found nothing but a certificate of deposit from one of the banks. The robbers left with but a small sum and a gold watch. Mr. Potter was bound with wire and his flesh was cruelly cut. The marauders came in buggies and left in that way. The doors were burst in with fence rails. John Dunn, employed at the Kenneth quarries, took a walk on the Panhandle track, and while in the act of stopping to light a pipe was struck by the Chicage express and instantly killed. Dunn was 43 years old. The accident occurred near Kenneth station, four miles from Logansport. While fishing with a seining party, on the M abash River south of Williamsport, William Keefer fell from a boat and was drowned. It is supposed he became entangled in the seine, as the young man did not rise after sinking. No help could lie rendered him. He was a respected young farmer living near Williamsport.

I Slav? from DiijUimi. l/v-om tte W'l’ic. Jlinn.. "i am now 24 years old, ’ said Edwin Hwamson, of White Rock, Goodhue County Minn., to a Republican representative, “and as you can see I am not very large es etatnre. When I was 11 years old I became afflicted with a sickness wlii< h baffled the skill and knowledge of the physician. I was not taken suddenly ill but on the contrary I ran hardly state the exact time when it began. The first eymptoms were pains in my back and restless nights. The disease did not trouble me much at first, but it seemed to have settled in my body to stay and my bitter experience during the last thirteen years proved that to be the case. I was, of course, a child and never dreamed of the suffering in store for me. 1 complained to my parents and they concluded that in time I would outgrow my trouble,, but when they heard me groaning during my sleep they became thoroughly alarmed. .Medical advice was sought, but to no avail. I grew rapidly worse and was soon unable to move about, and finally became confined continually to my bed. ’The best doctors that could be had were . suited, but did nothing for me. I tried various kinds of extensively advertised patent medicines with but the same result. "For twelve long years 1 was thus a sufferer in constant agony without respite. Abscesses formed on my body in rapid succession, and the world indeed looked v< ry dark to me. About this time when all hope was gone and nothing seemed left but to resign myself to my most bitter fate, my attention was called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Vale People. Like a drowning man grasping it a straw, in sheer desperation I concluded to make one more attempt—not to regain mv health (1 dared not hope so much), but, if'possible, to ease my pain. “1 bought a box of the pills and they seemed to do me good. I felt encouraged and continued their use. After taking six boxes I was up and able to walk around the house. I have not felt so well for thirteen years as during the past year. Only one year have I taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills’ and 1 am able now to do chores and attend to light duties. "Do I hesitate to let you publish w 1 it I have said? No. Why should 1. It is the truth and 1 am only too glad to let other sufferers know my experience, it may help those whose cup of misery is as fuP to-dav as mine was in the past." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. 1 hey build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sal! w cheeks.

Schenectady, N Y. He Had a Snor’ug-Room. “I'm only a smooth-water sailor,” the late millionaire horseman, John A. Morris, used to say. He had bis yacht, the Cora, named for his wife, built for the shallow walers around New Orleans, and found It almost totally unfit for the rougher element here. It cabins were like the rooms in a tons and all its furnishings and equipments were summ tuous. It was slow and rolling, say s a writer In the New York Times, but was good enough to go to the races in. When lu command of the deck Mr. Morris made it a rule to concede the right of way to every craft he met “These people are working,” he would say, “while lam only out for fun. It Is my busim -s to give way to them.” But. with his customary shrewdness, he had another reason, which he never mentioned: "By getting out of the way of these people

I make them my friends. If anything were to happen—if the Cora were to run down a vessel by any chance, these people would not make much of a fuss about it. They all know me and my boat, and never give way, because they know I shall do it” He snored like a bull. On the deck of the yacht he built a snoring room, where he could bellow and snort without disturbing his guests. The boat was stocked with the finest wines and liquors, cordials, etc., but they were for his friends. He never touched them. He was the finest carver I ever knew. He used the most wonderful knife, and never was known to miss a Joint. When the Cora was at New Orleans Mr. Morris turned It over to his young friends. Every day some young lady would reeei ve a note to the ffeet that the yacht was hers the next day, and as many of her friends as she eared to invite.
