OrnVMWA. In., March y.l One of the most cc.hl-hltKxlcd murders that ever occurred in this section was committed yesterday morning nt llitoinan, result ing in the death of Mrs, Harry Smith, of Httoitiaii, mid the probable fatal wounding of nor baby and her sister, thonifo of tho dastardly wretch who coin rutted the awful crime. The tor riblo t raged j was ooiumlttod at inte rna . i mining town of iOO population. located in Monroe county, five miles southwest of Alhln and about thirty miles from this city. Lewis Frazter. the murderer, lived in larbondalo. another mining town fdtu.iHNl in Maluiska county, tive miles from Hiteiuan. It seems that Mrs. Fra'ter had left her husband because of his continued ill-treatment of her, and had gonu to live with her sister, Mrs smith, at Hitemaii, whose husband is employed hi the mines at that place Yesterday morning alout 10 o'clock, while Mr. .Smith was at work in the ni'tie, I'nizier went to Iliteman and called at Smith's house. He asked for his wife, and tried to get her to go home with him, which she refused to do A scene ensued. Frazier drew a lcnlfe nnd stabbed his wife, Mrs. Smith and nUo her little baby, which she was holding in her arms Mrs. Smith died within a few hours, and Mrs. lrazier and the baby are botlT dangerously wounded. Immediately after committing the ternblc crime, Frazier left the house going south through the timber for a mile or so then turned west. The news of "the terrible irngedy spread rapidly, and in a very few minutes large numbers of infilriatetl citizens gathered and started in the pursuit of the murderer. Tho greatest excitement prevailed. The people fairly went wild. Inashort time the party was formed and the maddened mob started on it-s mission Frazier was found at Cumminys' crossing, near the Cedar mines, about two miles wet of Albia, on the Chicago. Rurlington & Quncy railroad. Deputy Sheriff .lou Lewis, who was also m pursuit of the murderer, took charge of him and put him in his bugy for the purpose uf taking him to Albn With the assistance of a few of th cooler men the ollieor endeavored to get the prisoner away to n place of saft ty The evoked mob only crew more furious, and seizing the frightened and cowering murderer, they took him away from the oh'rand carried him buck tc Ilttoman to the house where the terrible enme was committed. A rope was secured and placed around his neck, and he was hung to a tree near where one of the victims of his murderous lenifo was lying dead and tho other two in a dying condition. Th" body was left hanging to the tree. A terrible crime had been terribly avenged and the infuriated mob became calm dispersing une after another to their homes. Deputy Sheriff Lewis took charge of the remains, and the coroner was sent for It was one of the most monstrous und eold-bloodel murders ever committed in Iowa, and the anger of the people of Iliteman knew no bounds. Iluslness was entirely suspended and work was stopped for the day. BECOMING INTERESTING.

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. rh New AiliiiliiUtrntliin ltimllt'ii.-iril by l(epuliliiii .MUtiiuuiti-ciiieiil. The condition of tho treasury when Mr. Cleveland resumed oft Ice- is in striking contrast with what it was when ho entered upon the presidency

eight years ago. Tho so-called treas- j tiry surplus was then beginning to as-; sume large proportions, and it grew j Lt.iftflll,. ,,nttl 'ri .imri.,,,t In ..........u a tb $1011.000.000 (.ohi reserve for tho re - demption of notes, and S3O.O00.0OO of ' fractional and minor coin, and a num- , ber of other items which have since been absorbed into the general cash ' account, became Si 0.000,000 in .July, . ISst), and 5110,000,000 in April, lSSi 1 This groat amount has since been so effectually wiped out that, in spite of j various changes of bookkeeping with ; n view to increasing the apparent lial- j .nice it has recently been a question whether the treasury could keep up the appearance of any surplus at nil in excess of the 8100,000,000 reserve. 1 For the tirst fiscal year which closed , a few mouth? after Mr. Cleveland en- j tered oflico, tho receipts of the govern- i ment were more than fMO.coa.ooo in excess of its ordinary expenditures, and throughout his term of ofllce the management of a redundant revenue was among its serious problems. All this has been changed under the inliucnuc ui i ne mcreusiiig seme ui jmuii . . .i... . . . . j ,. i lie expenditures, until tno treasury surplus has disappeared and the revenues baroty sutlielent for the current needs, and the requirements of the sinkingfund law are ignored. The change in tho money circulation of the country has been quite as great as in the condition of the treasury. The expansion of more than S300,000.000, which has occurred during the eight years is fully accounted for by the increased issue of silver paper; the outstanding silver certificates being greater in amount by more than "-00,-000,01)0 than in March, 1S5.", and more than Sli),000.000 of the new treasury notes having been issued under the Sherman law. There can be no question as to the significance of these changes in financial conditions and no room for doubt as to the duty whlnh they impose. Tho reale of public expenditure which has wiped out the great treasury surplus of a few years ago must be reduced and the silver legislation which is draining the government of its gold , and undermining its power to preserve the interchangeability of its currency Issues must be repealed. The conditions that confront the new administration differ widely from those of eight years ago, and yet the main source of danger nnd difiieulty is one that then existed and was clearly rec ognized by Mr. Cleveland. Silver purchase legislation had already become a source of anxiety and financial disturbance, and Mr. Cleveland applied himself from the day of his election to the task of averting its dangers. The , expedients which he adopted, ann s others that have since been tried, are now well nigh exhausted, and nothing remains, if the worst of the threatened results are to bu escaped, except tho prompt repeal of the silver law. There is as yet little definite knowl edge of the intentions of the new ad ministration in regard to financial policy, and assumptions on the subject are unwarranted. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle have properly rof rained from committing themselves in advance, and kept themselves free to act as the case may require when they aa Mime responsibility. Temporary malt;shifts are not now to be considered. 1 he prosperity of the country for the i next four years i epends on the prompt avowal of a policy that will ensure financial .stability and confidence, ami the new administration must meet the .luunu m, , Ke . i Commercial llulletin.

Its first duty I to the country, to the party and to itself is to make public at thc earliest1 moment a truthful statement of thc 1 condition of the treasury. Upon that condition at tho present juncture al- ' most everything depends, the need of 1 an extraordinary session of congress, j the opportunity for a reduction of tariff I taxation, the several currency questlon. the necessity for a new draft i upon the national credit, lleforc this question the matter of appointments , to office drops relatively into insignificance. The former is imperative; the ' latter can wait The business of the country is concerned in nn exact knowl-' " I edge of the treasury situation and of the steps taken to meet it; the preferences of localities on to persons are concerned in thc appointments. The administration taust and will meet the greater and more pressing problem first The dispatch of Col. A. K. McClure to the Philadelphia Times unquestionably anticipates in a general way thc specific statement which Secretary Carlisle must soon issue to the country. It points to a deficit In tho treasury, so considerable that on the last full day of his term Secretary Foster refused because there was no money on I

hand to pay it It asserts that the , motion, and for his tirst duty is asgold reserve of glOO.OOO.OOO hns been signed a vacation trip to Knrope at invaded and Is now short by seven or government expense to pay the salaries eight millions of dollars, and thus ex- of the Rehring sea commissioners.

Were the United States nn individual, the excuse might hold good; but we are bound to assume that the national credit will bo respected and that it can bo impaired in no other way insidiously and effectively as by a suppression of tho facts.

It Is very evident that one of the enrliest acts of the ndmip'.stration must be tK issue of bonds. The last administration, uuder an cc unity press ing necessity; chose to neglect this duty rather than f'tee the censure ! which hUch a confession of mismanagement,, or worse, would evoke.

INSTABILITY.

I'rntirtlnn it nil lltitlno I'liri-rtulnt jr An llliutriltliin nr Mi Truth. One who has not studied tho subject can hardly realize tho diillcultles in tho way of transacting business in the United States contingent on the complications and obscurities which have characterized our tariff policy for the last quarter of a century, and many of which have been intentionally created with a view of indirectly restricting foreign commerce, or, what is the sumo thing, obtaining higher taxes, to a greater degree than public opinion would have sanctioned if attempted directly. Consider the situation of the Rrltlsh and American business man under the fiscal policy of their respective countries. Thu former goes to his business of any description every morning without a thought that anything of disturbance is likely to come to his industrial or commercial interests from parliamentary legislation, for the tax system of Great llritain the best in tho world is so'simplo ami so well adapted to every fiscal exigency that any radical modification of it is hardly within the bounds of possibility. To every American business man, on the other hand, the session of the federal congress has become a period of apprehension of the enactment of laws affecting his interests, and only thosu familiar with the situation can have 11113 correct idea of the number of persons who annually gather at Washington, and the amount of 11101103' expended to effect oi defeat changes in national fiscal legislation. A question which ina3' here suggest itself is; WI13' not, then, accept tho present tariff, and why not advocate a policy that will involve further continued and radical disturbances? A sullleient answer to it is that the existing tariff is in a condition of unstable equilibrium, as ever3' tariff necessarily must bo that Is founded, as is now the case, on the claims of private interest rather than on considerations of public welfare, and that the element of stabilit3' cannot possibly inhere in it if thc government is to remaiu free and democratic. What an illustration of the truth of this is to be found in the fact that since tho enactment of the McKinley tariff, or within the last two .years, there have been 100,1125 cases of dispute between merchants and treasury ofllcialsaocompanietl b3 formal protest or appeals respecting the construction or meaning of the law or the evidence of fraud! It is true that ver3 man3 of these are settled by a single court decision; but every one of them nevertheless represents worry, the emplo3Mnent of legal counsel, a large expenditure of time and nione3'on the partof the merchant Under the tariff in force in 1M)0, a committee of the United States senate reported that "the calendar of customs suits in the district courts of Now York had grown so large that there is no reasonable pnospect of disposing of them in this generation." Such a state of things, which is equivalent to a denial of justice to tho merchants, does not exist in any other commercial country, and its continuance in the United States is an outrage and a rellcction on its civilization. David A. Wells, in February Forum. THE QUESTION. Why rroterllnn" Uns Not llotn Overthrown. The questions involved are rcall3" simple ones; but the3 have heretofore been studied mainly by two classes those interested so to manipulate protection ns to profit b3 it and theorists interested more in pliilosopli3' than in practical results. As between interested classes and philosophers thc result of the discussion of thc economic question is inevitable. The interested classes get the practical solution thc3' want, and the philosophers the consolation of being certain that they are themselves in the right each getting what he vahies most Of the results of a struggle intelligently carried on between those interested in getting profits out of the tariff and the masses of the people most directly interested, the world has .seen but one experience. That was during the corn law discussion ii Kngland. As a result, the starving laborers finally forced free trade from their tory landlords. Tho only other case in which at a time when a government was practically tho protective polic3. it citizens have had sufficient intelligence to discuss the question, is that of the United States at present Tho result under universal suffrage must depend upon what thc masses of the voters, now aroused, shall conclude are their interests. In no other cases than that just noted, have they possessed at once suflicient intelligence and information to have made their opinion worth consulting. In the face of thc organized support of "protection" b3- those who have procured it for their own benefit, it is rather a wonder that the cause of free trade has of late made such substantial advances. Recalling our own late history, the words of Adam Smith lire even more suggestive than when they were uttered: "Were the otllccrs of the army to oppose with the same zeal and unanimity 11113 reduction In the number of forces, with which master manufacturers set themselves against every new law that is likely to Increase the number of their rivals in the home market; we're the former to animate their soldiers In the same maimer as tho latter inllamc their workmen to attack with violence and outrage the proposersof nu.ysuch regulation, to attempt to reduce 4I10 arin3 would bo as dangerous us it has now become to reduce in any respect the monopoly which our manufacturers have obtained against us." Tho fact that protection has been nnd remains the economic creed of the world proves no more as to its soundness than did the fact that, for unnumbered ages, monarchy had been the prevailing form of government, prove anything for or against popular government So far as concerns prcccdunt, in the only instance in which an intelligent people have settled this question, they havo settled it in favor of free trade. So far as an example should

guide, we havo to chooie Itetween that people, like ourselves In blood und in liberty, who nt the end of a tlious'Mid years of national lifo, revolutionized its policy in free trade, and the paternal institution of "protection" which we borrowed from the aristocracy that ruled alike our anil their uncestors before popular freedom hud raised its hind on ollher side of the water.

Tim Trtut I'tttn l' I'rloe of (Ham llottlf. Under the heading "Glass llrignnds Again," the National Glass llutlget of February IS, gives tho details of tho recentadvance of pricesand the methods of procedure prevalent in highly protected industries. Patrick Gleason, in Ids palmiest days as mayor of Long island City in open defiance of law and public opinion, was never more autocratic in disregarding tho rights of the people than are six or eight glass trusts that are organized regardless of anti-trust laws, anil operated with supreme indifference to tho welfare of tho people which has given them nearly 100 per cent protection. Just read this: "The Western Flint Hottle association met on Wednesday in its rooms in tho Iron exchange. An unusual interest had been taken in this meeting, us the question of advancing the prices was to brough up. F11II3' sr per cent of the association's capacity was represented. The meeting began carh and continued until late in the evening. "The advisability of advancing tha price had been discussed at three former meetings. So 11 to make it possible to make the change, a two weeks' shutdown was ordered last December. This was expected to so exhaust the stock in hand that a move in this direction could easiVy be made. The temporary stoppage decreased the stock about U00 cars and accomplished just what was wanted. Tho demand was reported good, but the profits of the past .year were not .satisfactory to thu manufacturers. An advance of ft per cent was unanimously voted upon. This step has only been made possible after months of work to bring about the proper conditions. The members of the association control 90 per cent of tho prescription bottles made, so they have no fear of rates being out Tho trade in this class of goods differs from other glass made, as the demand varies little throughout the year. It is confined to a class of customers that indirectly concerns the people, as tho dealing is done almost entirely with druggists A systematic plan of advancing prices will be likely begun, us it has been claimed for some time littlo could be made on the present rates, and that tlu'3 could lie advanced a good deal before any protest could be made." Snch organizations should receive an application of Congressman Harter's remedy for lawless trusts that is, have all duties abolished on competing goods. Rusiness would then be conducted in tiic good, old-fashioned competitive way, and prices, wages, and protection would again assume their normal conditions. A NICE SCHEME. Aflcr Cotnprlllnri Coniiiiiirr to l'ay th Tnx linporlf r l'ropine to Mukn tlmCovrrniui'iit Itrliiml It. The dut3 on silk ribbons is not much higher than thc dut3 on hat trimmings. Some time ago Mr. Wanamakor and other importers tried to get silk ribbons throuh tho custom house at tho lower rate of duty 03 calling them hat trimmings. The customs officers ruled against them. They paid the higher duties under protest; added it, of course, to the price at which they sold the ribbons, and thus made themselves whole out of tho pockets of their customers. Rut they saw a tkly speculative profit to bo made l3 bringing suits against the government to recover again the difference between the higher and lower rates of ilttty. The secretary of the treasury now proposes to compromise a number of these suits, and to P113 to these Importers the sum of IH.OOO.OOO out of his permanent appropriation. 1 The tiling is an injustice and a fraud on the people of the country who must furnish thc (.'1,000,000 in the form of taxes. The importers have already had their money back; it is not right that the3 should get back an3 part of it again. It is not right that the secretary, without the authorit3 of congress, should hand over to them 000,000 of the public money. Congress can stop this thing. Hy a simple amendment to an appropriation bill it ma3 forbid thc scrota to pay any money in compromise of suit against the government or its agents except b3 express authority of an act of congress.

On thd other hand it is clears shown that the followers of McKinloj' are In error as to this point Rut if tho removal of tho du t3 would not cause the importation of largo quantities of this coal, wiry did the advocates of a high tariff so vigorous oppose a movement to put coal tin the free list?

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD Which lluusekocpera Should rurttritly Cmililir. A serious danger menace.! tho health of tho people of this country in tho numerous alum baking powders that uro now being urged upon the public. There is no question as to tho detrimental effects of these powders upon the 3'stcin. IC very Hoard of Health, every physician, will tell you of tho unwholesomu qualities they add to tho food. Some countries have absolutely prohilh itcd tho Ktilu of bread containing uliim. Even small doses of nliini, given to children, have produced fatal results, while oases of heartburn, indigestion, griping constipation, dyspepsia, and various kindred gastric troubles from irritation of tho mucous meuibrniuv caused b3 the continuous use of food prepared with tho alum or aluin-pho.sphato powders, aro fumiliar in tho practico of ever3 plrysiciun. It is not possible that any prudent housewife, 11113 loving mother, will knowingly nso an article of food that will injure thu health of her household, or perhaps cause tho death of her children. How shall the dangerous alum powders bo distinguished? And how shall thc danger to health from their use bo avoided? Generall.y, alum powders may he known from the price nt which they am sold, or from tho fact that they are accompanied b3 a gift, or are disposed of under some scheme. Tho alum powder costs but a few cents a pound to make, and is often sold at 'JO or t!5 cents a pound. If some present is given with it, tho price raa3 bo 30, 40 or 50 cents a pound. It is impossible to name all tho alum powde-s in tho market, but any baking powder sold at a low price, or advertised as costing only half as much as cream of tartar powders, or accompanied b3 a present, or disposed of under aii3 scheme, is of this class, detrimental to health, and to be avoided. Rut tho oas3, safe, and certain protection of our bread, biscuit and cake from all danger of unwholesoinene.ss is in thc use of tho Royal Raking Powtler onl3. This powder is mentioned because of tho innumerable reports in its favor b3 high medical authorities, by the U. S. Government, and 113 the official chemists and Hoards of Health, which leave no doubt as to its entire freedom from alum, lime and ammonia, its absolute purit3 and wliolesomeness. While its use is thus a safeguard against the poisonous alum powders il is satlsfactoty' at the same time to know that it makes the whitest, lightest, sweetest and most delicious food, which will keep moist and fresh longer, and that can bo eaten with immunity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and also that owing to its greater strength it is mora economical than others. These facts should incline consumers to turn a deaf ear to all importunities to buy the inferior powders. If a grocer urges tho sale of the cheap, impure, alum brands, it should bo borno in mind that it is because hu can make more profit on them. Tho wise housekeeper will decline in all cases to take them. Take no chances through unino a doubt'
