The Democratic party declares that the Government is robbing the people annually of $100,000,000. and it declares the robbery mast cease. The Republican party antagonizes the Democratic party on this straight-out issue. 5To Ho!?. James G. Blaine, Paris, France: ear Sir If you don't see what you want, please ask for it. Lafayette Courier. He might ask for more "Little Kock," but does sot hanker after any more 'Kam, Romanism and Rebellion' Tuk indications now are that the Democratic rally fn Indianapolis, J anuaay 11, will be the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in the State. The Democratic press of the State is taking hold of the matter in earnest. Democrats are everywhere arroused. The campaign in Indiana is to be hot from the beginning. A good ready is the demand. Theke are 20,000 miners out of work In the anthracite coal fields of the Lehigh region. They demanded an advance of 3j; cents per ton for mining coaL This was refused by the monopolists. The miners struck, and the monopolists for'.hwith advanced the price of anthracite coal $1.25 a ton, more than thirty-five times the amount demanded by the miners. Sayre, the trick mule, and Robertson, the elephant, can't comprehend how it happened that Edmonds, Hoar, Sherman, Ingalls and the rest of the Republican United States Senators happened to indorse Green Smith as the rightful President of the Indiana Senate. Huston ia in a like quandry, and even General Ben Harrison, who upon the"8unlit hills of duty," where he sweeps the whole field of vision, is also very much perplexed. It is said. The Journal is invited to'quote largely Jrom the utterance of Mr. Lamar, and compare them with the following beautiful expressions of Murat Halstead, who suggested the murder of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Halstead said; l"Our noble army of the Mississipi is bein wasted by the foolish, drunken and stupid Grant." Andstillj fcTlrat Halstead is the most tricar. light In the Republican party. Boy. GEEE.f Smith, President of the Slate Senate, has a right to feel proud of the action of the United States Senate. It indorsed him throughout recognized his right to sign the credentials of Hon. David Turpie, Senator-elect. Old Hoar, Edmunds, Sherman, Ingalls, Plumb and Allison may have no more honesty than Sayre, the trick mule but they have more sense. The United States ßenate not only vindicated Hon. Green Smith, but every other Democratic member of the Legislature, and in doing this, the Republican rapscailians were told that their proceedings were outrageous, revolutionary andshameful. Tnr New i ork Herald finds that as far back as 1552 Mr. John Sherman "puts himself squarely on the ground of Mr. Cleveland's message." He said: these causes is also added the conceded lact that unier existing Jaw we ar9 collecting from the people of the United States as national taxes the um of fifty to one hundred millions of dollars more than is requisite to meet all the proper current expenditures of the government and all our obligations to the public creditors and to comply with tue sinking fund act for the gradual reduction of the public debt. ' The record will be shown that a great many Republicans declared for a reduction of the revenue, as did Mr. Sherman, au 1 now they will be required to face the music. "Woke know tfcst ofor nun is to feed about all they can them and pray for them. COwxitea Mr?. Ida k. Harpsr, ia the Terre Haute Gztte. Cut Mrs. Harper does not tell all that women can d- for men. The women can wash, and m?n3, and darn clothes for men, sing for then, make home a type of heavan. They can epend lots of money men work and earn for them; they can make themselves so Beautiful and attractive, sa adorn the homi. that men would rather be with them than anywhere else in God's uni -.

Thi Sentinel observes that the Democratic State press are publishing short editorials on the condition of the State Treasury, IThe monthly statements of the amount of funds on hand are cloely scanned, and a he gratifying tact fully appears that there Ja abundance of money to run the State Government. The balance on hand at the close of November was $333,113.02, aid Teryfewof the counties settled darlag the month. Large sums will come in this month, Including the insurance tax, ;hich the Auditor pays Into the general fund on the first Tuesday of December. JJelow is an article from the Brazil Democrat, which states the condition of the Treasury for three months past. Uany assertions and a great dl of Xioise have been made by the Kepiolicau press of the State, following in the lead of lhe Indianapolis Journal, about a bankrupt State Treasury as a Democratic legacy left to the people and to the present Jlepublican State Treasurer. The Suite Treasury is cot, by any means, empty, as lhe present Incumbent, Mr. Lemcke, ia imswer to Oovernor Gray'a Inquiry, aald that his predecessor, Mr, Cooper, turned over, to Mm, February last, $30.525.20,

the full amount with which he was charged on the Auditor's books. Again, on the 10th day of September last he made bis official statement to the eSect that there was then on hand $100.804 50. And again, at the close of the fiscal year, October 31, Treasurer Lemcke's official report shows a balance on hand of $373 C Ü 21. The treasurers of the several counties begin this montn making settlements with the State and payirg in Urge sums of State taxes, so that there will be no lack of money to carry on the institutions and pay ail the current expenses of the State. So the Republicans have bean forced o admit that they have talked not wisely.

CHICAGO AND THE REPULBICAN PARTY. At the mention of Chicago as the place where the Republican party will meet in June next, to name candidates for President and Vice-President, what. a train of sad memories must be suggested to Republicans who were old enough to be active participants in political affairs in 1330. General Grant, the great captaia credited with saying the Union, was a candidate for the nomination for President. He had been eight years President. He had just returned from foreign lands, from his voyage around the world. He had been feted and toasted by Kings and Em perors, Lords and Ladies, the poud and the powerful, Ovation followed ovation in rapid succession. Cannon had boomed end flags bad been unfurled in bis honor, and brass bands had played "See, the Conquering Hero Comes." Come he had. He was again on his native heath, and a candidate again for the highest office in the ift of his countrymen. In that august moment Elaine struck him down. How? By asserting that U. S. Grant had turned traitor to his country, and if again made President, he would destroy the Republic and upon its ruins erect an empire and establish a Grant dynasty. Poor General Grant. He had abandoned the Democratic party when his cap of fame was full. Debauched by the corrupt Republican leaders, who wanted to use his ienown they turned him from what Den. Harrison would call "sunlit hills of duty," to kill him m Chicago the slaughter-pen of the world. G rant's fame culminated at Appomattox after that there was nothing fcr Grant. At Chicago he met a prutus in Blaine, and died of his wounds on Mt McGregor. No man who reveres the memory of Grant can vote for Blaine without confessing himself a paltron, nor for any man who stood with Blaine on the occasion when Blaine and his conspirators stabbed Grant to death. At Chicago Blaine and Sherman and Garfield murdered Grant, politically.Jand the wounds they inflicted hurried him to his grave and they accomplished their TFork by attacking Grant's patriotism and by intimations that he was really for treason, so black, that in comparison Arnold's is white as an angel's roba and that is what Grant received as a reward for his abandonment of the Democratic party. But it must be remembered, and it will be remembered, that James A. Garfield be came the beneficiary of Grant's political assassination at Chicago and that with bis nomination began a Republican factional fight unparalleled for its murderous fierceness. In the cam paign of 1880 the Republican party sunk to the lowest depths of corruption and depravity. It triumphed, but its success was the death of Garfield. Poor Garfield, the beneficiary of Grant's political death, and the beneficiary of the crimes of Dorsey, was tested in the Presidential chair to be murdered by a Republican crank who had bf en warmed into life in the fires of Re publican factional hate and as he fired the fatr.l shot, exclaimed: "Arthur is President!" And Arthur became at last the beneficiary of the Chicago fight. Grant, Garfield, Arthur and Guitea are all dead. In 1SS1 Blaine was nominated at Chicago. It is needless to say that his assassination of Grant contributed to his defeat. Republicans remembered his implacable hostility to Grant at Chicago in 1SS0. Brilliant, but corrupt and depraved, thousands of honest Republicans would not vote for him, nor will they vote for any man who encompassed the downfall of Grant at Chicago by charging him with treason to the Republic. The selection of Chicago by the: Republican bosses as the place to told the nominating convention of the Republican party is an omea of disaster to the party an instance in which "comirg events cast their shadows before." GRAND DEMOCRATIC R-T,,LY. Under the auplces of th Hendricks Club, of Indianapolis.it iipsopoaad tu have a grand rally of tb.a Jxdiana Democracy of the State in fan city, on "Wedoesda; lanr-4ry lif 13. la carrying out this lamdable purpose the HendricksClub, of fndiaaapolis.has sent the folio wing circular letter to every Democratic paper in the I- - '.' 15MAKAI0LIS, December 5, -1837. Dxap. Sir: The Hendricks -Club of this ;ity, believing that it is the duty of every ood Democrat to take not only a deep inerest, but also an active part, in the politi1 affairs of the country, and believing urther that the welfare of the country and he continual prosperity of its institutions nail be determined and guided by the rinciples of the Democratic party, In order add to the organized strengen of the rty have determined upon a State rally of the Democracy, particularly the young Democracy, in this city, Wednesday, January 11, 1883, for the purpose of organizing Hendricks Clubs in every county in the State. We earnestly request you to assist cs by the liberal use of your columns in making this meeting a grand success. A large attendance of active workers from every county will inspire much confidence and enthusiasm. Reduced rates will be secured. Prominent Democrats wiil be present to address the Convention. We feel the importance of early organization, as Indiana will be hotly contested. Would te glad to hear from you on the matter. Pleuse address John B. Harker, Secretary, Jno. B. Habkcr, Jas. H. Rick, Secretary. - President. The Hendricks Club, of Indianapolia.now about 400 strong, is In listed to a man In the patriotic endeavor to secure at the earliest day practicable a thorough organization of the Democratic I arty of the State, and it is believed that the contemplated rally, January 11, will r cet with co.dial approval throughout the (-'ate, and that the meeting will b large r d enthusiastic, and in the highest degree 1 entficlal. It z.eed not be dirgulsed that the Bepubcan party, under the auspices of Lincoln Lesgue Clubs, is everywhere perfecting

rmpact organization, and to counteract ( rjeir power and influence, thre should be i Hendricks club whereevcr a Lincoln l eague club ia organized, and if seed be, ia every township In the State. Apathy, supineness in the matter of organization may involve the party In defeat, when by thorough organization victory would be ensured. The time has come for action, and the indications are that the Democratic party will be equal to the emergency. The young Democracy are expected to take a prominent part in the organization movement, and after the meeting, January 11, the delegates will be thoroughly cquiped for the work of organization. It is expected that the IS täte Democratic Central Committee will hold a meeting on the 11th of January for the purpose of consultation, and everything will be done, Including good speakers, to make the meet

ing a success. Every county In the State ' should be represented, and It Is needless to fay, if Democrats respond, the party will receive such an impetus as will be felt throughout the coming campaign. HONEST TAXATION. The President, in the performance of a constitutional duty, informed Congress that the Government is taking from the earnings of the people about $100,000,000 annually, for which it has no legitimate use. It requires so argument to &how that when, by any process whatever, a Government takes from the earnings of the'people more money than is required for an honest and economical administration of the Government, a most odious despotic power is exercised, fruitful of disasters and that is just what the Government of the United States has been doing for years. The President clearly points out the dishonesty of the proceeding, and recommends a reduction of taxation to a point where no more money shall be taken from the earnings of the people than the Govcrnmentneeds for its honest, economical administration. To remedy the great wrong, the President refers to the fact that taxes are now imposed upon what are termed the luxuries and the necessities of life. Suppose, for illustration, we select two ar ticles as representing a luxury and a necessity of life, both taxed for the purpase of revenue, and about which there need be no controversy relating to terms. Sugar is a necessity ; it is taxed to the ex tent of say $01,000,000 a year. Whisky is a luxury; it is taxed tothe extent of say ,000,000 a year. The question arises, shall the? Govern ment maintain the tax on sugar and remove it from whisky, or shall the Gov ernment reduce the tax .on sugar and let the tax on whisky remain as it is? Those who oppose the Prerid ant's policy demand that whisky shall be free, and that sugar shall be'taxed. The Indianapolis Journal and the Repub lican party .demand taxed sugar and free whisky. Free trade in whisky is the Rspublicsa battle cry. "We submit that honest taxation de mands that the people shall have cheaper sugar. It is one of the great necessities of life whisky is a luxury. Tho38 who want it can well afford to pay the tax, or if they Bhouid conclude to let it severely alone, no harm can come of the resolution. Let it be remembered that the Republican party is committed to the policy of taxed sugar and free trade In whisky. WAR TAXES. Th "cival war" is over. It left a legacy of debt, of widows and orphans of mained, crippled and otherwise disabled soldiers, pensioners upon the bounty of the Union they save J. The interest on th9 debt is, in round numbers, say, $50,000,000 a year the pension debt Is, say, $75,000,000 total $125,000,000. The internal revenue tax it is said, was a war measure, and there are those who declare, since the war is over, the tax ought to be abolished. The war ia over, but it entailed debts which must be paid. How shall the money be raised? Necessarily by taxation. As matters now 8tand, ihe Government by excessive taxation is able ta meet all -1.1 .5 - 1 . I A I 1 L . ODHgaiioas, luciuuiug iuvefv.iE vu tii niidebt and pensions, and h.fe W" ,, about $100.000.000 a jear The propositon ia. M of P TT taxation must be redated, Ti i-eyenue from whisky, beer and 0l.CCO ia8t yeaPf m round numbers T'. $118.000.000, say $70,000,000 from whisky, $23,000.000 from tobacco and $20,. 000,000 from beer, or within, say, $7,000,000 of the interest on the war debt and the amount req aired for pensions. It t; fceld that whisky, tobaoco and beer are luxuries, and as compared with certala essentials of life they are luxuries. Te the articles, of sugar, rice; these are essentials, Compare them with whisky, sal( and necessities beer and tobacco, and the latter will be pronounced luxuries. It must be borne in mind that Tdt. Cleveland's policy in raising revenue Is to retain the tax on whisky, beer and tobacco and reduce the tax on sugar, salt and rice. This policy is antagonized by the Republican press, and the Republican party. The Republican party demands that the tax on whisky, beer and tobacco bhall be abolished, and that the tax on sugar, salt and rice shall be maintained. In a broader sense, Mr. Cleveland's policy is to relieve the necessities of life of burdensome taxation, while the tax on luxuries 8b all be maintained. We have shown that the tax on whisky, tobacco and beer comes within $7,000.000 of meeting the necessary war expenses of the Government, or the expenses entailed by the war. If the Republican party succeeds, the tax on whisky, tobacco and beer will be abolished and the burdens of taxation maintained on the necessities of life. The issue is a square one, and will be from this time forward, discussed through out the land.

TRAINING CHILDREN

Mrs. Henry Ward Bescher Offers 8onflPrxotictl Hints to Mothers. Tei chin j Children to bi Ussfal Ire Boyi More Difficult to Guide than Girls? The Y&lce cf Lessons in Early Life Duties Fitted for Bjys and Girls. Out Door Sports and Pleasures Children In Contact With the World-Wise Words For Parent. (Copyrighted, 1587.) In the training of children, a subject upon which I have been asked by many to write, I cannot suggest anything better than that mothers should teach their children to be useful, and begin the lessons early from the first step out of babyhood. Parents would more readily accept this suggestion if they would give it an honest examination. Unfortunately, except among the poor, whose poverty compels them to practice it, this is a doctrine that receives of late but little attention, and is in great danger of becoming obsolete. Mothers who must be chisfly responsiblescout at the idea. The excuse is advanced that usefulness with girls is possible, but that to teach boys to be of service is an absurd and hopeless task. It is said that boys are troublesome, restless, and awkward, and more given over to mischief and play than work. We are asked: "Would you have us teach boys, as they grow older, to run on errands", up stairs and down, at the risk of overturning everytbirg with which they came in contact? Would you try to teach them how to dust a room, to help set the table, etc?" Certainly! Why not? Is any mother willing to believe that they cannot teach to boys what can be taught to girls? Surely each one, boy or girl, can be very early tuoght to be useful, and can be si gently and skilfully guided that they will find it all "as good as play" to be able to help their mother and others, indoors and out, and with such teaching they learn to help themselves. In cities, and in families depending on hired help, it may not be so easy. Children are too imitative to be with servants where work is being done, unless the mother is with them, for what they learn cf a practical nature should be taught by her, and not caught up by seeing servants do it. Wealth is oy no means to be despised, and the rest and ease it may bring is pleasant to the weary; but hen it frees from all care or responsibility, so ;that the mother finds no necessity, or, indeed, "opportunity, to teach her little ones the first steps toward useful habit which they may Eorely need in laterarsye, then it ceases to be a blessing and becomes a curse. Many who begin life poor and reach wealth thioagh years of hard labor forget how much ot true, Bolid pleasure there was, after all, in this successful struggle fcr well-earned prosperity. As the necessity for close application relaxes, and they begin to feel the enervating effects of abundance, they forget all the pleasure, and, remembering only the hardships, shrink from teaching their children what seems like work, and thus cheat them of the strength and independence for which no wealth can compensate. Uut if boys are taught to do girls' work, should not girls be made to reciprocate the favor, and take their turns ia doing boys' work? What mother would like to see her girls do this? But why not? Who can object to it? Certainly not the girls themselves. Isn't it just what many young ladies are seeking to do now, and many young men "children of a larger growth" striving to prevent? If not unnaturally biassed by fashion or conventionalities, it would be difficult to find any who would not gladly do the many little .hirjgs they can do with their brothers, and In the free air and glad sunshine do their work. Whatever Is proper for boys to do, many girls often think "such fun" if they can occasionally share with tbem. We refer now to country girls. God help thoie girls whose home is in the city, and, although but just stepping out of babyhood, have been taught that work of any kind must be necessarily lacking in style and refine nient! How few, then, are the real pleasures the young can firrd in the opsnair! Nothing that they are allowed to have can equal the enjoyments which our country damsels, with their larger inheritance and more abundant real blessings possess, and nothing is more pleasant to them than any outdoor enjoyment ßui to their age and But it U VoTjpd that such work must max. O"'. .,? rnmninff. and hovJ j"h. . .'Pniiirh. noisv Doys are bad enongh ; would you have QUI gUU beCOme like them?" is it the outdoor work that makes them to? Is it sot rather the overt! 3w of animal spirits, more energetic and dominant in boys than in girls, perhaps, that finds no escape but by boisterous and noisy actions? This may not be agreeable to the old and staid, but is certainly less annoying outdoors than in the house. It promotes health, and is only what we all did, or wanted to do. in our young days. L9t our American boys and girls have fall swing, ts far" ÄS at all consistent; age will soon tame the wild spirits, or restrain a too exuberant overllow, bat nolhidZ Will keep tbem'so within bounds as pleasant labor some parts of each day. Children are, to be sure, liable to come in contact with coarse, rude naturesrt either boys nor girlsjBhould be exposed to inch inflosnoe If it can be prevented but that evil is found everywhere; as often in the house as in the field; we must go out of this worid to insure safety from such contact. If not inherent in a child's own nature, the Influence tending toward evil will not gain a strong foothold, the dross will be thrown off, and the purer nature riBe uninjured. It has also been argued against this that country girls are seldom ladylike or g-aca-ful, and that laboring with their brothers will make them still less so. If this objection Is valid, then the brothers must be seperated from the sisters, for if being with them outdoors has such injurious effects, the same element will follow them into the house. But we t'llnk this is a false conclusion. We have found 4 lady-like, intelligent, pure-minded girls in the country as in the city, and often far superior. It Is quite a noticeable fact that those who live nearest the city, or cfren visit the city, too often acquire artifical habits affectation, coquetry, loud speech, and fondness lor dress, which tempts them beyond their Income. Thla is seldom seen in genuine country life. We do not believe any kind of labor, under any conditions, will make a girl less modest or lady-like, We emphatically believe that every girl should know how to do with her own hands everything the has strength to do. until she thoroughly com prehends and undersunas 1U AUOU BUU secures and establiahes a vigor and capacity for many duties utterly unlike, to be sare, any that it now appears at all Ukely she in vr he railed noon to perform, but which, by some unforeseen change in her circumstances, may fall to her lot In after w An not mean that boys' work should be the habitual employment for girls any n-.nv hinthit rtova ahould b9 set to house hold duties for steady employment, but

that both should have the actual knowledge necestary to every variety of work. The heavier, coarser labor appropriately belongs to men and boys, and only for girls to do enough ofj t to learn how to master it In an emergency, should such demands come to them later on In life. Love or will, or both united, with the assistance of her girlhood training and knowledge, w'll enable a woman to do the hardest work w feile the neceB&ity lasts. It is because such calls may come to every one boy or girl, man or woman, at any time and In the most unexpected mat ner that teaching very little children to be helpful and useful is so earnestly advocated, to learn how, as far as possible, to do all kinds of work, so that in latter years, when some startling, extreme need may come upon them, to do it well and thorooghly.But the unatural strain, which in critical cases may compel a woman to do work which only men can do uninjured, if of long duration, la too severe, is not eafe, and only to be undertaken through absolute necessity. Women are not so endowed as to do the sterner work for which man is fitted. We do not mean to say that they are not equal, . but only relavent The question of equality their own works must answer. Woman has greater, tenderer, dearer duties, demanding a nature distinct from that which preseuesman for his rougher, harder, more harended and more public, but not more noble, work, and each by working in sympathy together can uphold and strengthen the other. Women have cleared off the timber from their land, built their houses, laid their walls, ploughed their fields wiih their own hands from choice. If they take pleasure in It, none need object But when they leave youth behind, their own bodies will bear witness against such continued, unnatural labor. Still it is a great blessing for the young to be bo equipped that they ran protect themselves against a time when it is possible that all they hold dear may depend on their having such knowledge carefully put awsy for sudden needs. Not for regular employment Bhouid this interCharge of emploA -nt be inculcated, but that every mem b r f the family should be so instructed i tz there may never be a temporary v: .cincy about the house that t.me one. boy or girl, man or woman, shall not be able and willing to step in and fill satisfactorily. It may te argued that many things familiar to country girls are not necessary to the life of the city-bred girl. The harnessing or driving of a horse is cited as an example. Suppose a young lady were driving (a desirable accomplishment for any girl in city or country), and the harness breaks or becomes unfastened, ought she not for her on safety to know how to repair the mischief? Every girl should learn eariy how each part ot the harness is adjusted, else the pleasure and independence of being able to drive when older will be attended with much risk, if not with fatal consequences. The duty of teaching children to be useful and handy in everything cannot be too fitroDgly impressed upon the minds of parents. And let tbee lessons begin whn the mind is young and ready to receive. Early life is the time when children will best secure knowledge, and then they may be prepared to use it when needed with confidence and self-control. Even if never needed in after life, the knowledge will not injure any one. Mrs. Hksry Ward Beecher.

Tbe Northwestern Miller's ICeport. Minneapolis, December 7. The Northwestern Miller says: "A very low stage of water prevailed last week, and the mills failed to make a very good showing. The flour output ior tbe week was 102,300 barrels, averaging 15,385 daily, against 114,300 tbe previous week, and 119 900 for the corresponding time in 18SG. Some of the mills which have lately been idle, making repairs, are Btarting up again, and, with tbe power unimproved, the water is being divided up, eo that it does very little good to . any one. There were fifteen mills in operation to-day. One- of these has put in steam,, and is now grinding with the sama. This makes eight mills that are being driven by steam power, and they, of coursa, are getting out the bulk of the Hour produced. The Westside Water Power Company has not enforced the eighteen hour etause found in most leases, and there are doubts about its beirjg attempted. Some tali is indulge! In abcut a water pool, but nothing of a tangible nature has come of it. For a few day 8 previous toyesterday'abreak in wheat the Kastern demand forfisus became quite animated, and though millers advanced prices considerably, a veritable boom in four seemed aboat to be realized. The tumble in wheat, how ever, has since caused buyers to hesitate, and a quieter market is expected. Millers are pretty firm in their views, and are in clined, with the flour output largely di minished, to maintain prices at the ad vance of a f ew days past. Little flour is being sold for export. The direct exports ot Hour for the week were 37,7o0 barrels. acalnst 42.150 barrels for the crecedinz week. Receipts for week ending December Cih: Wheat, 1,345,680 buBhels; shipments. 3f.l,200; flour, 107,&00 barrels; mill stuff, 3 317 tons. Wb't in store Minneapolis, G,2,21G; SL.

While Mr, John Wolf was sitting at home wilh his two sisters they were alarmed by the sound of heavy strokes on tbe front door. The door soon gave way and Mr. Wolf sprang to the door of the Bitting room, locked it and braced himself against it, just as it was also assailed in the same manner. One of his sisters ran for the loaded double barreled thot gun and placed it in her brother's hands just as the door yielded and revealed two masked men, the foremost or. wnom leTeled a revolver at Mr. Wolf. The revolwranu shot eun were discharged simultaneously. The robber's aim missed and shattered a glass on the table, Mr. Wolf's shot took efiect aBd the remaining robber seized his wounded comrade and dragged him out. Mr. Wolfs second barrel missed lire. He then bolted and barricaded the door, unable to call help ana airaia io leave the house. Altera nornoie nigm he went out in the morning and found the dead man not twenty yards away. In the afternoon the coroaer removed tne mass: and fnnnd a voune man supposed to be a canal boatman. A sharp butcher knife was in bis possession, no clew is louna to nis companion. Murder and robbery were undoubtedly intended. Newspaper Han Assaulted. KAnsas Cut, December 12. Dr. Morrison Munford, editor ot the Kansas City Times, was assaulted here this afternoon by Ed. Corrigan, the horseman. The difficulty occurred about 2:30 o'clock on the iiiriT nf the building at the corner of MtaorttiTt avpnue änd Main street Ac cording to the statement of several eye witnesses, Dr. Munford was walking up the stairs when Comgan approached him from the rear and seizing his right arm, Unit him a powerful blow In the eye.
