KOKOMO, Feb. 2t. Special. In surrendering himself to Sheriff Simmons of this place at Chicago this morning Cal Armstrong, the defaulting deputy treasurer of Tipton county and a fugitive from justice. conducted himself with the same luxurious magnificence that marked his looting of tho treasury of $43.0uO or his placing the price of a new court house on the result of a horse rac It had. too, all th sang froid that characterized his walking out of Jail in this city two weeks ago after receiving a sentence of three1 years In the penitentiary. He did not walk up to the police station or trust himself to the rude touch of ar.y Chicago minion of the law. He dimply sent a teh-gram to the Howard county sheriff hifnrniir.fr him that he would be at the Palmer house at a certain hour this iiKirui'ig and stating that he would do himself the. ho p. or of jurrendcrlnt; at that time. He kept his appointment, the sherirr finding him a distinguished guest of the big hostelry. He h:id not taken this Mcp without advice. A week ago he wrote John W. Kern of India napolls, his chief counsel, under cover of a friend, asking what to do. The. lawyer told him that he was a fool Tor running away from so light a sentence and would be a bigger fool if he tried to escape serv ing it. On this counsel tha young man pjndered for a week, acting upon It yesterday. He was taken nt once p Michigan City, where he will beffin time on h.i.-t sentence. He has been near Chicago ever since his escape, making little or no attempt to conceal himself. If Armstrong hd not voluntarity surrendered today he would have been arrested within a few hours, his whereabouts having been discovered through his sweetheart. Miss Mae Sheller.herj; of this city, who last Friday joined him in Chicago. She. it is said, advised him to Rive himself up, as hi capture would only be a question of time. It seems that when Cal escaped from 3-iil he went to tho house of friends but a. short distance away and remained there fully twelve hours. When ready to have he was disguised in female clothing and wert to Chieag . cherishing th hoH that certain of his erstwhile friends would advance him nugh money t-- get him to Mexico. He found very hevor, that those who had aided jjim to blow his money on the race tracks were anything but friends in adversity, and finding himself destitute he soon concluded to take the advice f others and rcveixe his punishment. His father, who wa treasurer, is now perving a one year term for the same crime. KOKOMO. Feh. 2t', Special.

Tell City Is a manufacturing city of 2,5X inhabitants, having thirty different manufacturing establishments with an estimated annual output of from $5,'V),0'0 to $700(00, all of which have ben in full operation during th year lsn.T anil f-inc. Many of them are doing a larger business than during the previous year. There is not an idle muri in this city. Only on of the number of factories in thi city can Ik cl.-tssej as among those favored by a proieetlve tariff and since the 1st day of last Lecenirr It has been working night and day. The principal reason assigned for our prosperity is the fact that our traute in with the South and Southwest. ,-i section of the country not favored by a prote Me tariff and heme not tnaterlajly a fleeted by the lat crisis, which derm 'fistratej that free trade ;? the boon of business stability and gmoi a I progress. rklnKni'n'a Iteplj. Since experience baa demonstrated that proieetlve tariffs do not raise or een maintain waes. therefore we can only be helped by llghtprins: our burd'iis on tfi cst of artb len of consumption, hence Wvj uro for a taiii'C for rcenu'j only.

However, if the protective )Hdby"iMust be adhered to. then we ask that foreign labor of any kind be also prohibited from entering this country, we will then be in a position to secure our Just tdiare of the benefits of such ' protective tariff, namely, if protection must 15 nvaintained. let it be 'against the' foreign laborer as well as the oreign product--Agriculturist Reply. Weknow of but one kind of tax that will do Justice to us, and that Is an internal tax on articles of luxury and on incomes, all other forms have always borne and always will bear, heaviest on the farmer. Let our representatives and senator in congress stand by the, Chicago platform and make up the deficiency by taxing incomes. Mrrrhnntu' Iteply. Any tax that will lighten the burden on consumption will benefit us. While in a business point of view we live from the profits on the sale of goods, this is regulated by a certain per cent, which is added to their cost, hence It will make no difference which way the wind blows, excepting that cheaper gds will induce. greater consumption and hence produce larger business. Approved. Here follow the signatures of somewhat over two hundred voters.
