The republican party platform pledges the party that no part of this robber system shall be touched, if it can prevent it. In the Solomon islands, says arecent writer in the Westminster Review, the king periodically selects several hundred healthy, meaty men and women to be, from time to time, butcheredand roasted for his table. These victims feel it to be their duty to submit, if indeed they do not feell it to be an honor, to be thus chosen to die for the king, and patiently wait their turn to be slaughtered and eaten. When interrogated they were sur- prised that the propriety of the practice should be questioned. The farmers of the west are equally meek, reverential and submissive toward the beneticiaries of tne tariff system. They are selected to bear the bur- dens because they will patiently submit to be taxed. They are like the Solomon islanders who answered But Cleveland wants the reyenue reduced on all we wear, To lighten allthe burdens of the poor man ev- erywhere.

TAX ON SISAL. flow Farmers Are Robbed to Fatten a Combine of Twine Spinners. Every farmer who raises small grain is compelled to pay about 45 cents peracre under the present tariff for binding twine.

This tax every farmer that cuts and binds grain has to pay on his binding twine directly to the half dozen twine twisting establishments in this coun- try. There is not a pound of binding twine imported. The $15 a ton on sisal is collected by the government. This is added to the cost of the raw material by the manufacturer, to- gether with the 35 per cent duty on twine, which costs the manufacturer nothing. Having a complete mo- nopoly of the business, the manu- facturer charges as much profit above the 36 per cent as his greed may suggest. The charges are extortion- ate, and are kept up by the aid of the tariff. Nobody is benefited one dollar by the 35 per cent tax on twine except the manufacturer, but it is an unjust and oppressive burden upon the farmer. The straw of small grain is generally heavy on the rich western lands, whatever the grain crop may be, and it will take about three pounds of twine peracre to tie it in bundles. The twine re- tails at 15 cents per pound, which makes 45 cents per acre for binding twine, 35 per cent of which goes to the twine monopoly by the aid of the tariff.

Harrisonville, Mo., Aug. 28.—The Cass county circuit court convened yesterday for the purpose of trying Charles N. Tabor for murder in the first degree, for killing Maj. C. C. Dawson at Pleasant Hill, Mo., in August, 1887. The Hon. A. P. Camings, of Kansas City, is sitting special judge. Tabor was tried at the November term, 1887, and found guilty of murder in the first degree. The case was appealed to the su- preme court, reversed and sent back for a new trial. Tabor was convicted of burglary at Nevada, Mo., in August, 1886, and was sentenced to the penitentiary for three years. In February. 1887, he escaped from the penitentiary by putting on citizen's clothes and assuming to be one of the hands hauling coal at that time. He came to Pleasant Hill on August 14, 1887, and met Maj. Dawson in one of the saloons. They played pool for the drinks, and Dawson called on Tabor to pay for the drinks, he having won the game. Ta- bor re Dawson told him he would arrest him unless he did. Tabor and Daw- son went out of the back door of the saloon together towards Dawson's boarding-house. When they had gone about fifty yards from the saloon Tabor shot Dawson twice. Bost Cough Syrup. Tastes good. Use in tine, Sold by druggists.

Law. w men abou who is s t $200,000 a ye traordinary — experi sporting friends in Sarato Almost everybody in New Yor! ows that Mr. Law. although interested in extensive business enterprises, has a great liking for the society of horse men, pugilists and gentlemen who havea knack of turning cards to their own advantage. At irregular periods of the year he gives some of them an opportunity for entertain- ment of the costliest kind to him. He has just closed a prolonged ses- sion with them, and in certain circles he is the only subject of importance under discussion. Last year’s per- formances, in which a diamond necklace worth $20,000 was involved, and which ended in a tight among a few of his admirers, made him much talked of here. This year his arrival was promptly telegraphed to New York and several of the men who knew when to ap- proach him hurried to Saratoga. He was welcomed by Col. Thomas Ochiltree, who has a wonderful eye over him, and who acted as_ his escort. It is reported that for these services the fiery-headed ex-Congress- man from Texas received the magnificent sum of $10,000. Col. Ochiltree had been betting rather freely upon the results of the races and was somewhat impecunious when Mr. Law arrived. The colonel explained the condition of his finan- cial affairs and Mr. Law drew forth his check-book and made the colonel happy. He stopped at the Grand Union hotel and soon became promi- nent for the magnificent manner with which he entertained his friends. One of his acts of generosity was the presentation of diamond rings to a dozen or more of his companions. On Saturday afternoon while in the bar-room of the hotel he ordered from Jacob Dreiscer, jeweler, of 112 Broadway, New York. and who has a branch store here,a tray of diamond rings to be brought to hin, and seating himself with all the dignity of a king upon his throne, with his friends about him, he fitted upon a finger of each, calling them to him singally, aring. The value of the rings, as furnished by Mr. Dreiscer, and the names of those who received them are as follows:\Bill Tracy,$1,250; Joe Coburn, $1,250; Jerry Dunn, $850; Dan Murphy, $550; Joe San- ders, $450; Jack Hallock, $650; Pat Sheedy, $1,500; Pat Duffy, $1,500; Capt. Frank McCue, $1,000. Other purchases of diamonds were made for gifts to other friends, the whole value amounting to about $14,000. Besides these presents Mr. Law made large gifts of money to several friends, the amounts reaching in several instances to $1,000. He left here this morning in charge of a man who had come for him. A Chinese meal “of a finer sori” is like their plays in being long drawn out. A first-class spread at a Chi- nese restaurant in New York costs $50, but as it includes about forty courses and takes two days to get through with, and is set for a dozen people. the tariff is reasonably low. Some one makes a note of the fact that the smallest member of the supreme court of the United States is the new chief justice, who is but five feet six inches tall and weighs only 125 pounds. Associate Justice Gray is the largest, measuring siX feet five inches in height and tipping the beam at nearly 300 pounds. Symptoms of Catarrh.

Yesterday there came to their home a midget boy baby perfectly formed and apparently healthy, whose weight will not exceed sixteen ounces. The body can be covered with a pint cup. and its fingers and toes resemble those of a pretty little wax doll. If babies are ever pretty at birth, the diminutive youngster may be called handsome. Its cheeks, not larger than a silver quarter, are plump and perfect, while its nasal protuberance resembles a pea. When first presented to its mamma the youngster was snugly nestled on a downy pillow and opened its dia- mond-like eyes with intuitive curios- ity. Of all the babies in Laredo street to-day not one has so many admirers as this little midget. The voyage from maiden fair to womanhood is often attended with many perils. Mothers should insist upon their daughters being prepared with eyery means of safety.

This guarantee has been faithfully carried out by the manufacturers for many years. ‘A Wild Young 3 Chicago, Aug. 2¢ .—A young man sprang from a seat in the Dearborn street railway station at. 10 o'clock last night, uttered a wild shriek and jumped through the window, carry- ing away the sash, covering the walk with broken glass, cutting his face frightfully, and sprinkling blood over the frightened spectators. He struggled to his feet and darted across the alley. Officers Buckley and Duffy gave chase and overhauled the fugitive on state street. He sprang like atiger at Officer Duffy, bit him savagely on the right hand, tore a generous chunk from the blue coat’s pantaloons, and with hercule- an strength was about to overcome Duffy and Buckley when other of ficers arrived. It required the com- bined efforts of six officers to secure and land him in the patrol wagon. He gave the name of Louis Bock, said he resided in Portland, Minn., and that he was a farmer. Inquiry will be made in the morning as to his sanity.

II-t yr Washington, Aug. 2.—Mr. Rea- gan introduced a bill in the senate to-day to permit the importation of jute bagging free of duty andit was referred to the committee on fin He spoke of the trust which had creased the price of jute bagging and said that the cotton planters were discussing the question as to whether they would not withhold their cotton from market until that oppression passed away. This trust struck at one of the great interests of the country, an interest which had no protection and which had to com- pete in the markets of the world with cotton from other countries. Congress had the power to protect that great industry against such great wrong by taking the duty off jute and he trusted that the commit- tee on finance would take the matter into consideration and give the relief needed. “Do you think, my young friend, that cheaper whiskey would have a desirable effect?” “Yes, sir; I think that any kind of whiskey has a desirable effect.” races maceration: pa nvr -reamennc an ren es Si AN
