THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 188a

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

TOLD IN MANY COMMUNICATIONS. Jt ?few Declaration of Independence liar, rlson'e Inconsistency on the Tariff Question A Gross Injustice A Good Sag (est Ion Congratulations Galore. To the Editor Sir: Ohio and many other states have gone to the demnition bow -WOW6 and therefore something must be done. I have therefore resolved myeel! into a committee of three, and whereased. wherefored and resolved, and finally adopted the following declaration of independence for our party (the republicans) : When in the course of human events it becomes necewsary for one party to disEOlve the political bonds which have connected them with the common people and to appnme amon the powers of the earth the separate and hipher station to which the laws of monopoly and of monopoly's god (high tariff), entitle them, a pretended respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they Bhould declare the causes w hich impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to l elf-evident: That all men are not created equal ; that the republican party id endowed by its bosses with certain inalienable rights; that among thete are life, monopoly and the pursuit of office; that to secure these rights, returning boards are instituted among men, deriving; their unjust powers from the consent of a few political knaves; that when any party threatens to become destructive of these ends, it is the wish of the monopolist to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new party, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their continuance in ßffice. s Prudence, indeed, w ill dictate that parties Ion? established should not be changed for light and transient causes, and 1 all experience hath shown that the people re more disputed to suffer while evils are ufferable th.m to right themselves by abolishing the" party to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of reforms and democratic victories, pursuing Invariably the same object, evinces a deeien to reduce them under absolute reform it "is their right, it is their duty to throw off feuch a party and to provide new mfhods for their future continuance in office. Surh has been the patient sufferings of our party, and such is now the necessity which "constrains them to alter their former systems of tactics. The history of the present democratic party is a history of repeated reforms and economizing?, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute reform over the?1 states. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world: Tbey have refused their assent to laws the most iniquitous and unnecessary for the public good. They have forbidden their crn2reprnen to vote for measures of immediate and pressing importance to the monopolist, unless suspended in their operation, till the masses of the people would be benefited; and when so sus- ? ended tbey have become "dead letters." hey have refused to pass other laws for the accomodation of a few monopolists, unless those monopolists would relinquish the right of reducing the wages of their lalorers a right inestimable to them and formidable to honest men only. They have called together the people to conventions at places unusual and uncomfortable (to us) and distant from the usual place of getting our hired repeaters, for the f-ole purpose of nominating honest men nd trying to beat our party. Thev have dissolved parties of "bulldozers' repeatedly for opposing with cowardly measures our invasions on the rights of the ballot-box. They have refused for a long time after snch dissolution to allow other wich mobs to come into the country, wherebv our party is unable to pet votes enough, have returned to the people and preached prohibition to some, free whisky to others, used Dorsey's "soap," the party remaining in the meanwhile exposed to all the dangers of democratic doctrine from without, and mugwumpery within. They have endeavored to increase the population of these states for that purpose, i promoting the laws for the naturalization ' of foreigners, trying to pa-s others to encourage their migration hither, and lowering the conditions of new appropriations of lands. They have obstructed the administration of justice (?) by refusing their assent to laws for establishing returning boards. Thev have made officers dependent on the people's will alone lor the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. They have attempted to cut down the number of offices and to send out . rwarms of our officers to either work or starve. Tbey don't want us in times of peace to keep standing armies among the people, without their (the people's) consent. They have affected to render the military dependent on, and inferior to the civil power. They have combined with others (the pecple) to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our 4grit" and unacknowledged by our leaders, giving their approval to their wants in the legislative department; for punishing us (the troops) for any murders which they committed on the peaceable inhabitants of the state because they would not support our party; for increasing our trade with all parts of the world; for cutting down the taxes without our consent; for depriving us, in s few cases, of the benefits of a trial by a bribed jury ; for arresting us to be tried for swindling the government; for taking away the colored vote, abolishing our most sumptuary laws and altering, fundamentally, the powers of the bondholders ; for retiring our legislatures and electing them themselves with enough majority in both houses to legislate in the interest of the people. They have excited the people to action by declaring us a corrupt party and prosecuting our thieves. They have added to our public lands, improved our coast, increased the population of our towns and prolonged the lives of our people. They are this time preparing to turn loose democratic orators all over this land to complete the work of reform, honesty and death, (to monopoly), already begun with circumtsances of unanimity scarcely paralleled in the palmiest days of democracy and totally unbearable by our party. They have urged our fellow-citizens, the mugwumps, convinced by democratic doctrine, to bear arms against their former party, to be themselves the means of convincing their friends and brethren and do all in their power in that direction. They have excited domestic discord among us and endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our cities the merciless Dutch and Irish, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all monopolies, high taxes and sumptuary laws. In every etaze of these reforms we have yelled "bloody shirt" in our most stentorian voices, and used Dorsey's "6oap'' in the most brazen manner. Our repeated yel.s have been answered only by repeated victories, and our "soap'' Is nearly exiatdL A jjartv whoso character is

thus defined by every act which may define, an honest party is unfit to be the ruler of an oppressed people. Nor Lave we been wanting in attention. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their congressmen to tamper with the tariff. We have reminded them of our organization and administration since. AVe have appealed to their weak leaders and their selt-interesK and we have conjured them by the ties of our common interests to disavow the reforms which would inevitably interrupt their connection with the bloated bondholder. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of injustice and monopoly. We wmst, therefore, nequiesce in the necessity which demands our separation ami hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, tools in war, in peace dupes. We, therefore, the representatives of the republican party in trcneral caucus assembled, appealing to Jim I. Illaine for tho rectitude of our intentions, in tho namo and hy the authority of the leaders of our party, solemnly publish and declare that the republican is the only lnal party, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the common people, and that all political connection between them and the prohibitionists is and oup:ht to be totally dissolved, and as the only legal partv we have full power to kill the "negroes, ' cuss the Dntch, bulldoze the whites, contract the currency, establish returning boards, foster monopolies, protect starroute thieves, use Dorsey's "soap," raise the tariff on the necessities of the laloring man and lower it on the luxuries, reduce wares, and do all other acts and things which a legal party may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the I, army, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred postollices. IIob Watkixs. cottsburg, Ind., Nov. 14. CONSISTENCY A JEWEL

Why Should the I.onl lie Tlmnked For What the. Protective Tariff Ioes? To the Kditor Sir: Heretofore I have always regarded President Harrison as a consistent protectionist. Indeed, one could not come to any other conclusion, judging by his utterances on various occasions. I have tried to make it a rule to be charitable to those who differed with me in their beliefs, more so if they were thoroughly consistent at all times. And while I regarded Mr. Harrison as an ignoramus in the matter of political economy (he having admitted this also in several of his speeches). I still admired him for his consistency. For this very reason I upheld his appointment of Kotiert I. Porter as superintendent of the census, he being an arch-high protectionist, who will do his utmost to prove, by figures (which never lie, you know),that what this country wants is protection and lots of it. In appointing this man, Mr. Harrison has simplv shown his consistency. Whether Mr. Harrison honestly and truly believes in the principles of protection is not for me to judge or to say. Since reading his thanksgiving proclamation, however, I have had my faith in his honesty of belief in that direction badly shaken, for inconsistency comes to the surface in the message. Rotore the election we were told that the source of our prosperity was the protective tariff and now after "the election is over and speech-making is done" we are told that we should give thanks to Divine Providence who hath prosjered us. Ist fall the people were told to worship the protective tariff fetich, for without it there would bo no wages at all to speak of, and now it is "Ciod who has vouchsafed to them that labor a recompense for their toil." To-day the farmers are called upon "to be mindful of their dependence on the bounty of divine Providence," while a year ago the bounty of Providence would have availed them nothing had not the tariff provided them with a home market, and on the home market they must depend. It is well to be thankful, if one has something to be thankful for, say, for instance, steady employment at living wages, but the people want to know to whom to give thanks. Now, it is either the Almightv God or the protective tariff; for (and f say it reverently) an Almighty who must be assisted by a protective tariff to help Him, can't be much of a Supreme Being. Let us choose between the Lord and Baal. If the Creator of heaven and earth is the "author of our many blessings," let us give thanks to Him, but if it is the taritl then let us build temples and altars in his honor or to the discoverer of the same, and worship him with thanksgivings and praver. Moreover, the message is not a complete one in itself and should be recalled and amended, as it makes no provisions for those who have not been so prosperous. But, perhaps, Mr. Harrison is reasonable and does not expect those who have missed the blessings, of which he speaks, to bo thankful, or perhaps he has overlooked them entirely. At any rate the message is addressed to "a highly-favored people," and asks that "the people of our country meaning, no doubt, all the people cease from cares and labors, etc." But what about those who have been ceasing from toil (if not from care) both voluntarily on account of starvation wages and involuntarily on account of the closing of mills, etc? Are they not also a part of the people ? To whom shall they ascribe their condition? Theirs is, indeed, a strange case. Kvidently the Divine Frovidence "is a respecter of persons," and has passed them by, or the protective tariff does not fit their case. If they are not thankful on Thanksgiving day, let us not call them ungrateful wretches, who "if they are not satisfied with this country, should go back to free-trade-ridden Europeyabut in the kindness of our hearts let us &ay "Father who art in heaven, or protective tariff who art on earth, forgive them, for they know not whom to be thankful to, even were it possible for them to bo thankful." And while the "favored people" are thanking the Lord, or the protective tariff, as the case may be, "for each reunited home circle," let those who have been compelled to leave their families and seek for an opportunity to labor, be thankful at least that this is a free country, where no one is bound to work for another, unless he so chooses, no one can compel him, no! if the "recompense" is not enough to decently support life, he is at perfect liberty to heek work in some other locality and find it if he can. Ciias. II. Krai se. Indianapolis, Nov. 12. A PLAIN LETTER TO HAYSEED. Some Home Troth Thrust at Ulm From an Ex-Protect ionlst. My old noosiFR Friends I must thank you for a copy of The Sentinel of the 30th ult., containing on article signed by Gillett & Hall, on the condition of the farmer at the present time. It is to be hoped that it has made some impression on your clouded mind. Dear Hayseed, we have often discussed this matter, and although your slowness of comprehension has discouraged me at times, I have never despaired of your ultimate conversion. When w ill you realize that you are gradually placing yourself and future generations in a condition of abjec t poverty by giving your support to a party out of whose long continuance in power has grown a state of aCairs which is a menace to the masses and whose return to power is due to the willful blindness of men of your calling and the money-bags of the monoDolistic vamDiro I the child of the a.

o. p.), who is sucking your life's blood .while fanning your inactive brain into a state of confident repose beneath the wing of the goddess, protection? Meanwhile, you can find no explanation for the fact that your condition becomes more discouraging every year. Your crops barely fetch the cost of sowing and reaping; you find yourself unable to meet the interest on your mortgage held by the same individual who finds it convenient to whisper in your ear that a reduction of the tariff would make matters worse and bring desolation on the land. Could it make matters an v worse for you? Awaken, m v old friend ! l)o some thinking for yourself. Let me ask you a few questions, which you may answer at your leisure. In what respect are vou benefited by protection? Is any product of your farm protected in any way, shape or form, excepting of courFP, the fleece clipped from a Fcore of the "pet lambs" of the protectionist? Are you aware that wool represents but 4 per cent, of the farm products of the country? Is not the polling price of your entire grain crop regulated by the price which the surplus over the country's requirements will bring in competition with the products of the slaves of Russia, the pauper labor of Europe- and the coolies of India? It is an indisputable fact that the tarifl enables the home manufacturer to hold his product up to the cost of the imported article with the duty of '20 to (0 percent, added. Why are you as a consumer forced to pay this tax of from 20 per cent, to CO pt r cent, on every article you or your family use. from an iron spoon to an overcoat, whether manufactured in this country or imported, while your products, except a handful of wool, must be marketed in competition with the pauper labor of Europe and Asia? Would it not be to your interest to advocate a reduction of the tariff in view of the fact that you are paying the premium which the manufacturer imposes under tho protection atlorded him, while you are receiving no protection whatever on any commodity you have to sell, except the much talked of wool? Would it not bo to your interest to do all in your power to check the unnecessary and dangerous accumulation of an enormous amount of money in the treasury which ought to bo in circulation among the people, instead of being a temptation to unscrupulous legislators and officials to become extravagant? Very truly yours, Ex-Protectionist. Philadelphia, Nov. f. SCHOOL BOOKS.

The New and the o:d Compared Some linunmarft of Long Ago. To the Editor Sir: It is for the press that we look nowadays to right all our wrongs. As r!ack, the novelist, says: "The penny press of England to-day has more power than parliament." The look controversy here has been a long ami exhaustive one. But it is now settling, I think. The teachers who ojposed the introduction of the new books are finding that, on ue, they are about as good as the old, despite what may have been said to tho contrary. Indeed, some of the teachers give the renders and primary geography as much merit, and the arithmetic just a little more than the old. There is considerable criticism of the complete geography more, I think, on account of a fi-w minor errors which can bo easily corrected, than anything else. The finest lwk ever written and printed contained errors that both writer and printer corrected in a second edition. In past years I had considerable exnori'-nct' as a teacher, and now have a scholar at home old enough to take up this complete geography. On what examination I have made 1 find this book good enough just as it is, for scholars of a certain age. But we certainly need another of about the same size, more perfect as to questions and w hat is called descriptive geography, to come between the primary, as we have it now, and the complete, for children, say of between eleven and fourteen. This complete geography is too much of the nature of a physical geography, and a little hard for children just passing out of the primary. We have no Indianagrammar as yet. Now, why, when we get one, should it not be of a more simple character than those we have had in pat years? What is the use of having a text book so exhaustive as to bo always learning, and never learned? And that is what is the matter with the grammars. Dyrine tho short time that so many of our girls and boys have to attend school nothing should be put before them but what will bo of practical use in their work, as they go out into the world. A lot of fine technical terms should not be drilled into their heads to the loss of time, perhaps, that should bo spent otherwise that will be forgotten almost as soon as learned. I believe in simplifying the grammar greatly. Why divide and sub-divide ami re-subdivide adjective, conjunction and other parts of speech until the scholar gets thoroughly at sea on the genealogical tree of parts and cannot finally tell root from branch or leaf? Some of the finest grammarians I ever knew belong to the generation just one decade back of me and now passing awiy. Their source of knowledge in that line was Clarke, Green and White, and many others of that kind counted now as nothing. Pinneo was jut passing out as I came on the stage. Dear old Pinneo, incomplete as they now say you were, how 1 longed for you in later years when trying to make a" distracted "scholar understand something you never even hinted was worthy of knowing. But old ways and old styles of teaching are also passiug away. And in some of the new we are not the gainers. Ida SiiEri.ER, P. M. Raleigh, Ind., Nov. 15. HARD TIMES AND WORSE A-COM1NG. A Farmer denounce the High Protective i'olicy of the Itepttblit-aii I'nrty. To the Editor Sir : The Buiall farmers and laboring men of this section have never seen harder times than during the past summer, and the outlook continues dark. Trivate enterprise has come to a dead standstill and tramps are being turned out by the thousands. Many of the laboring men who yelled so lustily for "Harrison and high protection' are terribly disgusted, and openly declare that they will not vote the republican ticket again. One of their strongest men said to me the other day that "he now believed that this high tariff business was an infernal humbug and nothing in it for the laboring man, and that he w ould vote for absolute free trade first." Although that I am fully aware that the majority of the leaders of the democrat party do not favor free trade, yet I firmly believe, and have for several years, that the adoption of absolute free trade is the only true solution of this vexed question. Then raise the revenue, to run the general government, by an income tax on heavy incomes. As it is, we say to the world, "Why don't you come and buy our producta, and gi vca good price for them ;" while at the same time our doors are sealed to what they have to sell. Americans grumble because foreigners won't trade with them. Adopt this only and just measure and our trade with foreign nations would become immense. Small industries which have been dead for years would spring up all over the country. Then, prosperity would spread her Children Cry for

golden wings over a happy and prosperous people, and, in five years, not a poor, ragged imp of a tramp could be found in the land. James Voorhees, Patton, Ind., Nov. 14. A GROSS IMPOSITION.

Railway ws Agents Discriminate Atalnit The Sentinel'' and Its Patrons. To the Editor Sir: Your paper is worth a nickel any time ; no good democrat, or sensible man of any persuasion, will for a moment doubt that. The fact that you oiler it to the public for 3 cents illustrates your benevolent zeal for public morals and pure politics rather than any just standard of quid pro quo. What I am kicking: against in that the representatives of that little monopoly through whose aqeney your papers reach the travelins: public should conspire to defeat your benevolent designs by demanding 06 per '.ent. more for a paper than the price you fix. The newslioy on the I. & V. train, going to Vincennes this morning demanded 5 cents for The Sentinel, and would sell for no less. Is this your price? If it is, I would cheerfully pay it and feel that I had the full worth of my money. Hut I strongly suspect that the real object of such demand is to force purchasers to take 6ome other paper in its stead. I have so often noted a seeming disposition on the part of these agents to prefer a sale of republican literature that in the interests of my party I feel that I ought to protest. I simply call attention to this ami if this demand was all right no harm is done, but it looks unfair to you and to the public on the face of it. J. C. R. Worthington, Ind., Nov. 13. The Sentinel has done everything in its power to secure fair treatment for itself and its friends on tho railway trains but with very little success. Editor. WORDS OF CONGRATULATION. A Lady Itejoea In the Recent Democratic Victory in OMi. To the Editor .Sir; Here's my hand, and a great big one, to The Sentinel with the warmest congratulations in sending greetings to our sister state Ohio. Our "grand macot" has won a victory worthy of great praise, one that we are justly proud of a victory that could hardly be expected from a state that had given such a largu majority for Foraker in the past. But the democracy has been constantly keeping the "tariff reform" and plain truth of the democratic platform before the people until they have become fully convinced of their wrong. Ohio has proven that the majority of republicans are as much dissatisfied with the present administration as the democrats are. We have the laugh on the republicans around hero. They had been so full of confidence in their popular leader that they thought nothing could defeat them. They are now told that it will take more than four acres to burv the camels (Campbell) and a whoso brass -band to play the good old tune, "The Campbells are coming" from O-hi-O. Don't forget to keep the victory before the readers of Tin: Sentinel until they will ail bo up and doing, until old Indiana rolls up the largest majoritv that was ever polled. Mrs. W. II. L. Grecnsburg, Nov. 14. A Oool nstieMioTi. To the Editor Sir: Would it not be a good idea to nrge throueh the column of The Sentinel the propriety and the good efleetfor the democrats in eru'h county throughout this state to meet at their respective county seats on Jan. 8 next, and celebrate Jackson's day in an appropriate manner, and .to that end, ask the assistance of our' täte central .committee and the Hendricks club of Indianapolis to procure speakers when asked lor? llopiug to hear your opinion ou this natter, I remain yonrs respectfully. E. F. llUDGES. Lebanon, Ind., Nov. 14. lie MUcs 'Ih Sentinel." To the Editor Sir: The Sentinel is a jplendi i paper. I like it so much I would not do without it I can say I would not give it for any oiher paper in these United States. I look forward every week to greet the coming of The Sentinel. Wm. K. Hays. Otwell, Ind., Nov. 14. TWO MODEL PRISONS. Judge Jordan Talks of the Stnte Prison O d Men nt School. Judge Lewis Jordan has visited both of the state prisons this month, and a Sentinel reporter asked him in regard to their condition. Ho said: "Indiana may well be proud of the humane government and good management of her two prisons. A prison is not a cheerful place to visit, but it was pleasant to see the kind treatment of tho prisoners and to note that every nook and corner of these large institutions was clean and in perfect order. The southern prison has been rejuvenated under the supervision of Warden Patten, and when the improve merits now being made are completed those who visited the prison a few years ago would scarcely know the place. The chapel has seating capacity for all the prisoners, and is a very bright and cheerful room, It has been completed since Warden Patten assumed control, and a large choir has been organized, which leads the singing to the accompaniment of the organ and stringed instruments, choir and band being composed of prisoners. "The night school at the northern prison impressed me very much. It is attended by forty-five prisoners, all tho room will accommodate. Some of the pupils are sixty years old, but they are as eager to learn their lessons as any ambitious schoolboy. About one-third were colored, and the teacher informed me that they made as rapid progress as the whites a fact which is also true of the colored boys at the reform school. This school from one point of view was a sad sight, and from another a cheerful one. Hero were old men just learning to spell, read, write and 'cipher' like school-boys. Late in life they were learning the lessons that should have been learned in boyhood. Put it was a good sign and a cheerful sight to see their earnest efforts to atone for the neglect of their earlv days. "I had not time to make a study of the decorations in many of the cells. It is a mistaken view to consider all men ia prison as very bad. The hearts of many can be read in the cell decorations, and a casual examination convinced me that there is hope for a better life in the inmates of thoso cells. "The prison congress which meets at Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, will consider questions relating to the proper management of prisoners, and the delegates from Indiana can make a good report of both our state prisons. Warden Murdock is on tho program for a paper on life-prisoners, and The Sentinel should procure a copy and publish it." The Royal Itoad. N. Y. Weokly.l Struggling Author "Why, De Poesy, how prosperous yon look! Was your last book of poems a success?" Pe Poesy "No-o, can't ssy that it was." "Published a popular novel, perhaps?" "No." "Ah, tbea yoa have written a play. I hare always held that play-writine, while not the biehest form of art, wns nevertheless" "I have written no play." "You haven't? Where did these fine clothes come from? Hew did you pay fur that bandtome turnout?" "I have abandoned literature, and am peddling clams." Pitcher's Castoria.

DELIA PARK ELL IN WANT.

HER HOME IS TO BE SOLD FOR TAXES AM to the Irish Cause, to Her Ron, Bad Investments and Whulns'e Generosity Have raten Up Her Entate Assist, ance Must Com at Ooce. Bordentown, X. J., Nov. 16. While Charles Stewart Parnell is fighting Ireland's enemies in England, his aged and infirm mother is fighting starvation in 'ew Jersey. The misfortunes that have followed Mrs. Delia Parnell for many years have culminated at last in this that she is alone, penniless and actually destitute of the necessities of life. She now has little more than a roof to shelter her. Unless something is done for her relief she will not have that two weeks hence. Mrs. Parcel, lives alone at Ironsides, the estate of her father, Commodore Stewart. Since the death of her daughter, Fanny, there have been very few visitors at Ironsides. She has no close acquaintances in Bordentown. Her nearest friends are Mrs. S. F. Carslake and her daughter. Miss Anna Carslake, of 140 W. State-st., Trenton. Miss Carslake was a school mate and life long friend of Fanny Parnell. Mrs. Parnell's pride was so strong that she would not let even these friends know anything of her necessities although she was face to face with want. On Monday she wrote to Mrs. Carslake warmly urging her to come tolronsidts at once. Mrs. Carslake and her daughter came over on Tuesday. They were so amazed and distressed by what they saw that they determined to make the facts known and appeal to the friends of the Irish cause for assistance. This is what they found out: Of all the great ost.ite which Mrs. Parnell inherited from her father many years ago, there is nothing left now but Ironsides, which is a farm of SO) acres here, and some property on S. Tenth-st., Philade'phia. All the rest of Mrs. Parnell's personal means have been swallowed up In unlucky investments and by injudicious generosity. Ironsides is incumbered with a mortgage of $8,000. The Philadelphia property is in litigation. The taxes on Ironsides and the interest on the mortgage are long overdue, and unless .?." is raised within two weeks the aged woman will lose even the roof over her head. . Mr. Parnell, of course, knows nothing of his mother's situation, Mie will not permit him to know it. She thinks he has about all the cares he can stand now. Her friends believe that even if he did know it he could do very little to help her. The information they have of him is that the enormous expense of the London Times trial and the parliamentary work have loft Mr. Parnell almost as poor as his mother. They have reports of the rigid economies he is said to be practicing in const. cjuence. Dr. Mozurt Jenkins of Trenton was called to the resilience of Mrs. Delia Parin 11 to-day for the purpose of treating thnt lady. He told a reporter that he found her verging on complete collapse. She is suil'cring from congestion of the brain and heart. When he called she wns about to dine on vegetables without either broad or coii'ee. There is nothing upon which to food the live stock. Kd wards Ixjaven, the Iri-h servant, had sold some wood with which to buy food for over Sunday. ATTEMPT TO MURDSd SHORT. The Iiih N.it'onalint Found on the Street Ita!!y Hurt. New Yohk. Nov. 1. Richard J. Short, the Irish nationalist who hrcame engaged in a murderous assault on Capt. Phelan of Kansas City in the office of O'Donovan IJossa a few years r.eo, was found injured to-niijht, lying on the sidewalk in front of 22 Duane-st. He had numerous contusions on the head and face and bled freely, lie was either unable to say how he came by bis injuries or was not disposed to do so. Policeman Ilanley, who found the man, took him to the precinct station, where his wound was dressed. Subsequently be was taken to an hospital (the same Phelan occupied), where he is now confined. His injuries are not considered serious. It is said that Short met his injuries in an encounter with some Irishmen in or near Sweeny's hotel. Humor has it that his attack was due to his recent testimony given against O'Donovan Possain the proceedings in which I Jossa was a complainant against Patrick Sarslield C'assidy.
