The bluff won't work. In a fight between the oyster po- lice sloop Addie Shelton and the dredging boat Park in the Ches speake one negro was shot. A movement is on foot in New York to have a monster delegation sent to Washington to urge the passage of the new tariff bill. The trustees of Wabash College at Crawfordeville, Ind., have added a literary-philosophical course to the curriculum of that institution. Dan Handrick of Ardmore, I. T., was terribly burned about the face by the explosion of a bottle of “soap duid” he had bought from a strang- er. The passing of the Wilson tariff ‘pill and repeal of the federal election law, would have been a nice treat to hand to the people for a Christmas gift. The wreck of a freight train on the Chesapeake and Ohio South- western near Louisville caused the death of three men and seriously in- jured three others. The Louisiana sugar growers are not pleased with the new tariff bill which gradually does away with the bounty heretofore paid them by the government. _ One aa OR "The New York papers are abusing Mr. Bland roundly for defeating the This is a sure signal the bill was not a good one and it ought to have been down ed. It is an undisputed fact that the manufacturers had full charge and -arranged the McKinley tariff to their liking. But no such charge has been made in the arrangement of the Wilson bill. John Temple Graves, the Georgia ‘orator and humanitarian, advocates asa solution of the negro problem the creation of a separate State for them and its regulation by the Gov- ernment. —$<———_—_—= Hon.

The McKinley tariff is still in full force and effect, and according to republican doctrine this state of af- fairs should not exist. { ' The president has luid before: Dave Bohanan, who killed Ben) Congress the entire correspondence | Foreman at South McAlester, I T,| ‘on Hawaim affairs.

The business interests must not be allowed to suffer by long discus | |sion on the tariff bill. If the bill is to pass the quicker it is done the better for all concerned. Long dis cussions willenlighten no one. The people have demanded repeal of the McKinley bill and it is time their wishes were being obeyed. The bill should pass without opposition from democrats. While it may not agree with the refined tastes of some people, Judge Ryland’s suggestion to the Johnson county grand jury that the legisla- ture establish the whipping post for minor offenses is a good one. If these young converts to sin and vice were publicly thrashed it would not only save the state and counties a deal of costs but in many cases would deter the victims from a term in the penitentiary. The sixteenth annual session of the Southwest Missouri district teach- ers’ association will be held at Clin ton, Mo., December 27th, 28th and 29th. For the best school exhibit a premium of $10 will be given. For the second best exhibit, $5. The program is quite lengthy and the proceedings promise to be of inter- est to teachers who attend. The railroads have reduced the rates to one fare for the round trip. Also the hotels have made a liberal discount to teachers attending the association. Congressman DeArmond kas cre ated a good big row in Washington City, and has brought the wrath of the people of that city on his head by introducing a bill in congress to discontinue the practice of make ap- propriations to run the city govern- ment. Heretofore, when the citizens of Washington wanted money to de- fray the expenses of the municipal government, have just put their hands into the National treasury and extracted what they wanted. Mr. DeArmond is of the opinion that this practice is not right and the people of Washington have the same right to pay the running ex- penses of their city government as other communities and they should doit Itisaspecie of legal plun- dering that should never have been inaugurated and the stand that Mr. DeArmond has taken against the continuation of the misuse of the people's money will receive the plaudits of the country. THE HAWAIIAN MESSAGE. President Cleveland transmitted to Congress his message on the Hawaiian situation Monday. As ex- pected, it was a clear, concise and forceful presentation of the affairs of that Island from the time the plot was concocted to overthrow the queen, aided and abetted by the United States minister, Stevens, who used the power of the United States naval forces to oyer-awe the queen's adherents, down to the in structions of Secretary Gresham to Minister Willis, about which there has been so much speculation. Pres ident Cleveland shows by undisput ed evidence that the power of the United States government was used to overthrow the existing form of government of a friendly power. A great wrong of a strong nation over a weaker one and the President wanted to restore the conditions prior to the time of this interference. He points out very plainly that the form of government offered no ex- cuse for such treacherous acts of this government against it. At no time did PresidentCleveland and his secre- tary of state contemplate using arm- ed force to restore the former con- ditions of affairs. This they recognized was a power vested alone in congress. In this respect they acted entirely different from the Harrison administration. The whole matter is now before congress and they can take such steps as their wisdom dictates. But it is to be hoped that a democratic congress will sustain a democratic president in righting a great wrong and doing exact justice to weaker nation. ‘night. | A flood of communications bas jaud Currency Committee suggesting j measures for the fiuaucial relief of | the country Martin Palmer, who fatally wound ed Jawes Elam, on Saturday, was by an officer who attempted to ar rest him Jobn Simpkius of Shamokin, Pa., was stricken deaf aud dumb in the recovered both senses and again lost them. —_—_—_—_ rigbt.

Anu Important Suit Before the Missouri Supreme Court. Jefferson City, Mo. Dee. 16.—A most important case iz regard tothe powers of counties under been brought to the supreme court from organization has It is s suit instituted against the county collector by the Missouri Pacific railroad to prevent the former from collecting a town- ship tax of 60 cents on the $100 val- uation from the railroad company. The constitution of the state lim- cents on the il visions of au act of the legislature towusbips in counties under town- ship organization may incroase this i levy to 60 cents. Inu a case from Macon county the United states supreme court recent- ly held that such levies were legal. The importence of the matter is that if countics under township organize. tion can exceed constitutional limit which controls other counties evade the constitution is for every county to adopt township organization, and the | then have the legislature remove all restrictions, aud there is no limit to the amount of taxes that may be im- posed.
