Packaro. The Republican Party antl the Tariff. It is well to remember that the extreme high tariff views advocated by Blaine, Kelxey, McKinley and others of that ilk, Wt a radical departure from early republican teachings. The old republican doctrine was "moderate protection," i. e., a tariff high enough to equalize any differences that might exist between the cost of labor in the United States and competing countries, hut not high enough to enable American manufacturers, by organizing combinations, to extort excessive profits from the people. This was the republican position as defined by Grant, Gahfifid, Aktiiik, Folg er, Bkistow, McCcli.och and niany other distinguished leaders of the party before it fell completely under the control of monopoly. Clou. Grant favored putting fine wools and all raw materials not produced in this country on the free list. lie Eiade this recommendation in his annual message as president in 1S74, when there was a deficit instead of a surplus, and the necessities of the government called for an increase in taxes of some kind. Here is what he said : I would su rest to congress the propriety of readjusting tue tariff so as to increase the revenue and at the frame time decrease the number f articles upon which the duties are levied. Those articles which enfer into our rnanufa?tnres and are not produced at home, it seems to me, sbould Le entered free. Those articles of manufacture vilücb. we produce a constituent part of, hut do not produce the whole, that part which we do not produce should be entered free also. I will instance fine wools, dyes, etc. lhese articles must be imported to form a part of the manufacture of the hierher crades of woolen goods. Ciiemicals used as dyes, compounded iu medicines, and used in vurious ways in manufactures come under this class. The" introduction free of d'Jty of such wool as we do not produce would stimulate the manufacture of poods requiring the use of those we do produce, and, therefore, would be a beneiit to Home production. There are many articles entering into home manufacture which we do not produce ourselves, the tariS upon which increases die cost of producing the manufactured article. The conditions now are vastly different from what they were then. Every reason which then existed for putting wool and other raw materials on the free list has become intensified by the lapse of time. The iolly of high wool duties has leen demonstrated by experience. The necessity of enlarging the markets of our manufacturers is imminent. There Ls'a monstrous surplus in the treasury which threatens dire disaster to the business interests of the country. All the internal taxes have been repealed excepting those on liquor and tobacco, harmful luxuries which are the most proper subjects of taxation that could be found. And yet the advocates of a scheme of tariff reduction which is in line with the above recommendations of Grant and those cf Garfield and of Arthur, and which leaves a higher average of protection than was provided by the 3Iorrill tarilfbill (a war measure), are denounced by the republican press (with a few exceptions), and by the republican leaders as "British free traders" and as enemies to American industry. Truly the republican party has fallen Upon evil days. It has become a mere instrument of monopoly, and its restoration to power would be a diro calamity to the country. Randall's Defeat. The constructive defeat of Mr. Randall by the administration democrats and the friends of tariff reform in Pennsylvania is a cause for rejoicing in the party, particularly in the "West. For years Mr. Randall has stood between the party and the fulfillment of its pledges to the people. Fcr years the democracy has been reproached by the tariff reform element in all other parties because, while declaring in its platform against the iniquities of the protective system, a leader in its councils, highly honored in its committees, has steadfastly stood in the way of the carrying out of the principles always maintained in tho national platform. And bo long as Randall haäbeen permitted to defeat every measure looking to the accomplishment of the chief aim of the democratic party, the sneers . of its opponents havo not been without a certain element of justice. But a chango has come and the end of the Randall dominance is at hand. The leaders of the party have the courage of their convictions. The president and his friends have determined to removthc reproach, and they intend that the word "democrat' shall mean the same everywhere; that tho democratic party shall stand for the same principles in Pennsylvania as in Texas; in Maine as in Indiana. The platform adopted at JIarri.burg Wednesday means that the democratic party elands for reform; it is not a mere vote-irettiiig agency; it has principles which it asks all people to indorse, but it will not sacrifice one tithe of those principles for the sake of getting votes in Penn eylvania or anywhere eLsc. Conceding Mr. Randall's ability, the democratic party notifies birn that it canuot indorse his principles. The ideas of the democratic party and Mr. Randall arc directly opposite, and tho party proposes to uphold its views whether Mr. Randall is euitod or not. It has served notice cr. him that his services are not wanted except in the line of the party's declared policy. Mr. Randall's defeat is complete, and it is a most excellent tiling for the democracy. To-day, in every Hale in tli3 union, the democratic party stands for tariff reform. There is no hed-rimr. no quibbling, no iuliL daiiiitxc -a iUi Ltxblical doctrines in 1

any quarter. As unitedly and unqualifiedly opposing the1 present robber tariff and the trusts and monopolies which it fosters, tho democratic party can consistently ask the suffrages of a taxburdened, monopoly-ridden people. And having shown its sincerity and' earnestness by casting Mr. Randall overboard, there is r.o doubt that it 'will get them. The Republican Nomination.' The republican situation has been greatly simplified during the past fortnight. The confusion audameertainty created by the whilom jostling and pulling and hauling of the "favorite sons" have subsided, and the tendencies of republican opinion have become pretty well defined. As one after another of the so-called looms for statesmen of local prominence vanishes, it is seen that the oM division in the republican ranks remains. The issue at Chicago next month, as at Chicago four years ago, will be Elalneism. Mr. P.laink, in his own proper person, or by substitute, as he served in the union army, will embody the affirmative of this issue. The negative will be represented by Walter Q. Gresiiam, about whom all the elements opposed to Mr. Blaine are already centered. After tho favorite son nonsense has been played out which, from present indication?, will not require more thau a couple of ballots the race will be narrowed down to the real contestants, who will be Mr. Blaine (perhaps by proxy) and Judge Gresham. The IIakklsons, the Shermans, the Ingallsks, the Risks, the Hawleys, the Algers, the Phklpses will be allowed to disport themselves in the arena only while the opposing factions are skirmishing for position and forming their lines. Then w ill come the tug of war. The engagement once fairly begun w ill be short, sharp and decisive.. Quarter will neither be asked nor ghen. The result will either be the overwhelming and final overthrow of Blaineism or its absolute triumph. Mr. Blaine's forces are compact, well organized, thoroughly trained and disciplined, abundantly supplied with the sinews of war, and in every way well equipped for the fray. Jmhre Grtcsiiam's following is a heterogeneous collection, including free traders, protectionists, mugwumps, stalwarts and pretty much all the sore-Leads, left-overs, and back numbers of the g. o. p. It is numerically stronger thau the Blaine faction, but it lacks cohesion, organization, leadership. It is a mob against regulars, and if it prevails it will be by sheer brute force of numbers. It may be that the columns of Blaine will be found marshaled under the standard of Chafncey Defew. But Pkpew spells Blaineism and Gresfiam spells the other thing, and the result will mean the one or the other, as Gresiiam does or docs not prevail. The Chief Justiceship. The New York Prat, a strong republican journal, says "it is neither wise nor expedient for the senate to delay the confirmation of Melville W. Fuller as chief-justice of the United States. The appointment," it adds, "is an unexceptionable one in every respect, and every patriotic citizen, even if he be a member of the U. S. senate, should rejoice that so good a selection has been maele, and tlo his utmost to consummate it as soon as possible." This is very sensible and very patriotic talk and it should be heeded by the Privs partisans in the senate. The "hangingup'' of Mr. Feller's nomination is just what The Sentinel pronounced it a few days ago "an indecent partisan outrage." Mr. Feller is either a fit man for chief justice or he is not. If he is, he should be confirmeel without further delay. If he is not, he should be rejected, so that President Cleveland can make another nomination before the senate adjourns. This partisan juggling with the highest political office in the government is disgraceful, and. we are not surprised that decent republican papers like the Press are beginning to protest against it. The Convention Orators. Mr. Cleveland's name w ill be presented to the St. Louis convention by Daniel Lock wood of Buffalo. Mr. Lockwood presented Mr. Cleveland for mayor of Buffalo, for governor of New York and for president of the United States in 1SS4. His selection for this duty again is a favorable omen. It will be a labor of love with him, for he is sincerely attached to Mr. Cleveland, and feels a natural pride in the part he has tu'.er. ?r promoting the fortunes of that illustrious man. Gov. Gray's name will be presented by Senator Yookiiees, and we may confidently expect one of the senator's finest efforts upon this occasion. In the republican convention John SttEEMAN will be placed in nomination by Ben Betterworth or Senator Hoar, Judge Gkesiiam by Leonard Swett of Illinois, who presented Mr. Lincoln's name at Chicago in 18GQ; Gen. Harrison by our Uncle Dick Thompson, and Mr. Allison by ex-Congressman Hepburn of Iowa, 3Ir. Blaine's name will not be formally presented at all, but it will be heard in the proceedings. The Iiatest Abont Blaine. The New York World announces with the emphasis of double leads that it has "private information of the most trustworthy character that Mr. Blaine will not le the nominee of his party for president." The convention may nominate him, it says, but he will not accept. "The event will prove that he was sincere in declaring that he was not in tho race.'' The H orld has a good reputation for "truth and veracity," and is understood to enjoy confidential relations with Mr. Blaine, through its correspondent, Mr. Thomas C. Crawford, now in Europe. We therefore attac h a good deal of weight to its statement of Sunday. On our own account we venture tho prediction that if Mr. Elaine is not the nominee, it will either be "Mr. Chauncey M. Defew of the'New York Central railroad, or Mr. Walter Q. Gresiiam, tho favorite stepson of Illinois. "What is to becomo of the democrat who believes in protection?" asks the New York Trihmtc. It isn't a hard conundrum, because the democrat who believes in protection doesn't exist. He may call himself a democrat or even think himself one, but-Jie isn't, A real democrat believes that the taxing ptower can only be legitimately exercised for public purposes, and believing that he can't bo a protectionist. As to what will becouio of tho inau who

rrrn claims to be a democrat and at the sam time advocates protection his destiny is certain. Unless he reforms he will land in the republican party ßooner or later, and better sooner than, later. And, by the waj can the Tn'&u a tell what is to Income of the republican who doesn't believe in protection? ' Tic is a good deal more numerous than the queer kind of democrat the Z'muuc speaks of, and his fate is therefore of more importance. According to the Philadelphia Prets the preferences of the delegates to the Chicago convention are as follows: Blaine Ö77, Sherman 2-6, GrxsuAM 74, Ailison S Harrison SO, Algek 2(3, Risk 22, P.'iEi.rvs IS, Defew 10. It will require only 411 votes to nominate, or 34 more than the Press credits Mr. Blaine with. The real choice of the Depcw and Phelps delegates is notoriously Blaine, and adding them to the number who are outspoken for Blaine leaves him but six short of a majority. Tho Prc., which is an avowed Blaine organ, declares that its estimate of his strength is a very conservative one. It would appear from this exhibit that Mr. Blaine can have the nomination on the first ballot if he wants it and very few people now doubt that , he wants it, and wants it badly. t ; Stewart, the bonanza king, who sits in the senate for the rotten-borough of Nevada, has made a vicious attack in that body upon President Cleveland for his vetoes. Stevart says the president acts upon the assumption that it is his duty to nullify every law for which he would not have voted as a mctulxr of congress. Now the president's assumption really is that it is his duty to veto every measure which his conscience does not, approve, and a very sound assumption it is, too. Of course his vetoes dem't please Stewart, nor any of the other boodle statesmen who are forever scheming against the public treasury. But they please the people, and the people will take pains to say so in unmistakable language next November. Tue latest ticket proposed for the republicans is Defew and Alger, or in other words Boodle and Boodle. Defew is a millionaire himself and is backed by the Yanderbilt millions. Alger is several times a millionaire, having leen made such by the lumber duty laid "for the benefit of the laboring men." With, such a ticket money would flow freely in the doubtful states, and all the political tramps and dead-beats in the land would be in clover until after the election. But it w ould not be elected. The presidency and vice-presidency are not going to bo knocked down to the highest bidders this year.

Mr. Zimmerman, our candidate for congress in the Tenth district, will have some fun in the canvass with his competitor, Congressman Owen, over the latter's bill to prevent trusts. Mr. Owen is w hat might be called a slick citizen, lie thought it would be popular to attack the trusts, and seemed to think that his constituents would not have sense enough to reason that it is only through the iniquitous tariff which Mr. Owen, with his party, supports, that trusts are jossible. Mr. Owen underestimates the intelligence of his constituents, and this is an affront which they ought to and will resent at the polls. The tlemocrats of Indiana mean "business" this year. Any man or set of men w ho interpose petty personal prejudices between the people's will and complete party success, will do so to their own everlasting political destruction. There are occasionally times when men can "kick" with comparative safety. This year is not one of the times. The great rank and file of the democratic party of Indiana are in dead earnest, and the man who sets up his individual like or dislike against the party will as expressed in convention, will thereafter be convenient material for a political wake. The democrats of Illinois have made a strong nomination for governor, although at this distance it appears that either Stevenson or Sparks would have been an equally wise selection. John M. Palmer, although over seventy, is in the full vigor of his physical and intellectual powers. He is a brave, honest and able man, with not a trace of the demagogue in his composition. He was a gallant soldier, and made a splendid governor. He ought to be elected, and we think he will be. The fiasco of the Harrison movement seems to be complete. From present indications the favorite son will not receive half a dozen votes in the convention from outside of Indiana, and the Indiana delegation itself will desert him after one or two ballots. Foor Benjamin! How sadly have you been imposed upon by those artful, designing men who have made you believe that you were presidential timber! 'The tariff question," says the New York Tribune "must be settled, and so settled that it shall not again be disturbed by either party for years." Yery good; but it will never be settled until it it Bottled right. And it will never be settled right until the tariff is reduced to a revenue basis, and ceases to be an instrumentality for oppressing the millions ia the interest of the few. The nomination by acclamation of Mr. Byncm by the Satimlay convention was creditable alike to its members and to tho gentleman who received the honor. His speech on the occasion was timely aad profitable. He returns to Washington with "well done, thou faithful servant," making music in his ears. Dudley, of two-dollar bill notoriety, says he will guarantee to carry Indiana for Harrison if he is the nominee, and that he will not co near" the state. But boodle won't carry Indiana this year, Mr. Dudley, for Harrison or anybody eke. We advise all young democrats to join democratic clubs in their respective localities. The campaign club is as necessary to jx successful canvass as an intelligent engineer corps is to an army. What C leveland Represents. Anderson Democrat. Tfi's democratic administration has been faithful, honest and economic. President Cleveland represents these three quftliticationi. The people will re-elect him. i 1 Unnecessary Trouble.

The Physician and Family flucti l.iicour. ngexl 1jr tho Symptoms The drneral Pastes a Yery Fair Day Ills Condition at Midnight, Washington, May 2S. There was a general feeling of relief in General Sheridan's household this morning when the physicians issued their bulletin that there had been a sliaht but distinct improvement in all bis symptoms. The night was an anxious one. The distinguished patient seemed to grow weaker and weaker and the chances of his recovery less and less as the hour9 dragged 6lowly along. Indeed, he was to low in the early hours of the morning that Lis faithful attendants w ell nigh abandoned hope. Even the members of his 6ta!)', who have been in constant nttendancc'tince bis first attack last Monday, and who have nil along contended that the general would pull through, seemed dcspondent and discouraged and answered inquiries as to the general's chances with a dubious shake of the Lead. The history of the cne shows that the most dangerous time for the general is between the hours of 2 and 6 in the morning, and this morning was no exception to the rule. All the physicans and the nurse were with him during that, period, and the discoumging news that came from the bedside from tirre to time filled the anxious watchers with grave fears. Mrs. Sheridan bore up bravely under the trying ordeal, aud though unable to obey the doctor's advice to take some sleep, showed rare confidence and composure. The children did not realize the gravity of the situation, and they slept calmly through the hours which some feared might be their father's last They know that there is something wrong in the house, but so far have been kept in iguorance of the true täte of the eas-e. They wander about the house at will, but are not allowed to enter the sick chamber. They appear to be interested in the constant stream of carriages which roll up to the door, aail watch the occupants as they alight and re-enter their carriages. They are sometimes seen pushing aside the curtains in the parlor windows, but their favorite points of observation are the windows in the room on the third floor directly over the one in which their afflicted father is lyinp. The appearance of these children at the windows was one of the most pathetic features of the situation to the visitors who called while the general was reported to be slowly sinkinp. representatives of the press remained in the vicinity of the house all niht aud received information from the inside every halt hour. The usual answers to inquiries at the door was that there was "no material chance in thp general's condition." Toward mornirip this report was varied to "I am sorry to say that the general is no better," or "the peneral is not quite so well," This was the situation at S a. m., at which time people began to arrive in numbers to inquire alter the general's condition. At that hour there hud been a slight improvement since daybreak, but the iaauuer of those who gave out the information was not calculated to the caller much encouragement. Many prominent officials called in persoa and others sent their servants for news. The bulletin was delayed about an hour beyond the usual time by the absence of Dr. Matthews, who left the house about 7:30 o'clock and did not return until 9. He had been with the rjeueral all night and went home merely to get his breakfast, and a breath of fresh nir. A consultation was held immediately upon his return and all the physicians agreed that the general's symptoms at that hour showed a slight improvement. Thi news dispelled for a time the loom which hun over the household during the niirht, ani bright glances of hope were exchanged among the friends assembled ia the library. . Cob Kellogg, one of the general's aides, was particularly encouraged. He went across the street to his residence and informed his wife, and on his return said to a reporter: "The general is improving slowly, and we are now encouraged once more. The general is a most remarkable man and seems to have au inexhaustible supply of strength. He had a very bad iiteht indeed, but rallied again this morning when we began to fear he could not do so." Col. Blunt, another aide, was somewhat conservative. He appeared on the front porch for a few moments and said that the general seemed to be a httle better this morning. The bulletin issued at 2:30 p. m. said: Gen. Sheridan has retained all the improvement noted in the previous bulletin anJ, in addition, his wind has grown markedly clearer. H. M. O Rf.illv, 11. t Yakiiow, W. Matth k ws, Charles 11. JJyrne. All the members of the cabinet, except Sec'y Kndieott, who is out of the city, called at the house during the forenoon. The president sent a messenger to the house twice during the d;;y and expressed an carutst desire to be promptly advised of any change in the general's condition. He also sent a beautiful basket of flowers for Mrs. Sheridan. Another handsome basket of flowers was sent to the house with the compliments of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of boston, the members of which organization arc now on a visit to this city. Many telegrams of condolence were received during the day. The following: bulletin prepared at 8:30 p. in. and issued at J):) p. in., says: üen. Hherldan has paod a most comfortable day. He dozed at intervals and about 5 p. in. had a quiet sleep of nearly an hour's duration from which he awoke feel injj refreshed and cheerful, lie has !cpt occasionally since. His min i is perfectly clear. 11c is stronger. His pulse hacainen in loree and regularity and at no time haa exceeded llo. The respiration shows great improvement and the acratiou of blood is better. The oedema of the leirs has entirely disappeared. He takes sufficient food, and his tongue, previously much coated, is now clear. His secret ions are normal. lie hays lie feels yplendiilly. Signed Eohekt M. O'Iieillv, W. Matth kits, V. liYRNK, II. C Yakkow. Midnight There is little to add to the 8:30 o'clock statement. Gen. Sheridan's favorable condition continues, lie sleeps easily and restfully, wakes occasionally and makes some rational remarks and goe to sleep again. A more hopeful tone prevaes the Sheridan mansion to-nightand the attendants and physicians all appear much relieved at the strength and vitality shown by xhi stricken soldier and the determination exhibited by him to fight off the uttack. The weather, wbjeli has been warm and close all day, has changed, and this evening a cool southerly brte::e enters the sick chamber. The general has had more sleep during the evening than at any time since the attack first begun, and it is said to be easy and regular and not due to the uc of narcotics. His respiration has improved, and even in slumber is quite natural. lie is weak and has not left his bed during the day, but watches close eerythin that takes place around him. aud is conscious and rational except immediately after oxvgeu is administered. His mind is clear and bright, but this may be due in part to the O.xvgcn, which possesses cxhiliaruting qualities. Milk, beef tea and chicken broth are still given him for nourishment. About 11 o'clock tonight the general awoke and more oxygen was administered. While the general's condition is improved somewhat the chances are all still against recovery, and this bu-t i3 fully uppreciated. It is impossible to tell when a change may occur, and as several days elapsed between thfe early atttcks ot heart failure, there is constant apprehension of its recurrence. The disappearance of the ccdima in the legs has been quite market!, and has given rise to a fear that it may have been hi part canscd by the fluid which produces the swelling having gone to other aed more vital VarU of the body.

2 :.'0 a. m. Gen. Sheridan has been sleeping quietly for about two hours. There is no change ia Lis condition. Every one in the house has retired except Dr. O'lleilly and two watchers down stairs. SHERJDAN'S LONGEST SPEECH. Remarks of th General at a Keunlon of Veterans Two Years Ago. Cwton (Ia.) Special to Chicago Times. Gen. fheridan's attendance at the reunion of the veterans of southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri in this city two years ego made the occasion memorable. There were at least tea thousand veterans present in addition to thousands of other persons from all parts of the country, and as Gen. Sheridan reviewed the magnificent procession of veterans and citizens from the balcony of the Summit house, the ovation he received wanned the grand old soldier's heart, and he was frank and outspoken in his appreciation. After the parade the veterans returned to Camp Sheridan for dinner, and in the afternoon Gen. Sheridan visited the camp. As the general recognized many of the old solders of Iiis eojnmand, and recalled many incidents and memories of the war, the enthusiasm increased. Finally the veterans began to call on the general to speak. He was disposed to decline, but at last he took the platform and made a speech which went direct to every old soldier's heart. It was wholly impromptu and characteristic. Fortunately a first-class stenographer was present, and thus probably the longest public speech ever delivered by Phil Sheridan was taken verbatim: "Comsades: I came here to-day to see you and talk with you and shake hands with you, while Col. Carr und others, you know, came here to make eloquent addresses for you to listen to. I think he has been too eulogistic of me in Lis remarks. It is true that I fought in almost everybody's army, from Pea TJdge to Appomattox, and although I foucht with cavalry and infantry and on every line of operation, and always had to change and take new men on new lines. I was very successful. I went through all tne grades they had in the volunteer service, and then I commenced and went through all the grades in the regular service, and the date of every commission that I have is the date of a battle. Now I want to say to you, comrades, this, that I am indebted to the private in the ranks forall this credit that has come fc me. Applause, long and continued. lie was the man who did the lighting, and the man who carried the musket is the greatest hero of the war, in my opinion. I was nothing but an agent I knew how to take care ot men. I knew what a soldier was worth, and I knew how to study the country so as to put him in right. I knew how to put him in a battle when one occurred, but I was simply the agent to take care of bim, and he did the work. Now, comrades, these are common-sense things, and I can't s;iy them in very flowery language; but they are. true, nevertheless, and they are truet not of me alone, but of everybody e!.-c. It is to the common soldier that we are indebted to any credit that came to us. Now, I am glad to see you here to-day, gentlemen, and I am glad to be with yoii on this occasion. There are many men here to-day who served in the field with me, and it is a great pleasure to me to lind them out, and they have been very kindly in their remarks to me. While they were with nie I certainly did all I could for them. I often laid awake planning for their welfare, and I never killed a man unnecessarily. You may kill as many men as you choose if you give them an equivalent for the loss. Men do not like to be killed for nothing; they ilo not like to have their heads rammed against a stone wall unless for some good results. Those are the points I made during the war. Whenever I took men into a battle I gave them victory as the result of the engagement, and that was always satisfactory." Itlaiiie's House Robbed. Aegvsta, Me., May 23. During a conversation with one of Mr. Blaine's personal friends last Saturday he gave to a reporter a piece of news which has never been made public "Did you know," remarked the gentleman, "that Mr. Blaine's house was broken into some time ago, while and his family were absent, and all his political and business correspondence and private papers, involving financial operations, which were in his library, were overhauled and a portion of them abstracted? Well such is the tact. The matter has always been kept a secret in the hope that the thief might be discovered; but he never has been, at least I never heard he was. I don't think that anybody in particular was ever suspected of being the thief. The supposition is that the robbery was perpetrnted in the expectation of obtaining something among Mr. Blaine's private papers which might be used to his political injury if ever wanted. I never learned the character of the papers stolen. When the robbery M as discovered thetioor of the library Avas found to be litered with letters and papers which had evidently been carefully examined. Every drawer was found to have been ransacked and its contents either disturbed or dumped upon the floor." . Horrible Uutchery. ror.TSMOCTH, N. II., May 28. Two young men on their way to work here this morning, discovered the body of Henry Whitehousc, aged twenty-two, an employe of the electric light works, lying on Noble's island shore near the blacksmith shop. The body was terribly disfigured, the throat was cut from ear to car and the head contained ten or twelve wounds inflicted with some blunt instrument. A machinist's hammer was found near the body. Whitehouse had been paying attention to a young lady in Kittery, and left her house shortly alter 11 o'clock last night and was due at the elec tric station at 12. It is supposed that Whitehouse was killed on the highway near the railroad track ami dragged to the shore. A trail of blood leading from the track was discernible. Sup't Palmer of the electric light company, when showed the hammer, exclaimed, "My God, that settles it in my mind." Ten minutes later the sheriff arrested James Palmer, n former employe of the company, and lodged him in jail on suspicion of being tne murderer. On Wednesday Whitehouse in company with Hierin" Coflin and Sup't Palmer searched Palmers house for some tools. Palmer, it is said, swore to be revenged. Dodging the Owen Law. Cincinnati, O., May 23. A new feature in the matter of the Owen law, which was designed to close saloons on Sunday, has been developed. It is, apparently, to adopt the plan successfully followed by the theatres when they w ere being punished for keeping open on Sunday. They employed a convenient justice of the peace to arrest them and let them oil' with a trivial line, aud thus escaped the severer penalty. To-dav a number of saloonkeepers nave had themselves arrested in the same way and brought before Esquire Moorman, who will begin the hearings to-morrow.
