Dick Dalton has imformed the publie that he will not use his office as a stepping stone to another. ft he should decide to enter a race for another he will resign that which he now holds. The democratic congressmen from New York, are opposing the income tux measure and refuse to be boun: by caucus. It is claimed the bill will carry by alarge majority with- out their aid. Congressman DeArmond, member of the judiciary committee cast his vote in committee in favor of repre- sentative Bailey's resolution question mg Secretary Carlisle's right to issue bonds other than for the pur- pose of redemption. Mre. Lease has turned her tongue loose against Governor Lewelling, and the populist administration of Kansas in general, and there will be music in the air. The old girl has put on the war paint and proposes €o tell all she knows of the por ulist feaders in Kansas. We hope she will complete the job in one volume and then give the country a rest. from a Missouri standpoint it is a case of dog eat dog. The Philadelphia Times is of the apinion when the farmer comes to compare his gains from the compen watory balance of the McKinley tariff that he will have a time of it recon- ciling differences. The Times make the startling statement that farm values in the state of Pennsylvania alone have depreciated in value $57 Q00,000 dnring the past ten years under the greatest protective syste ever known. ; —————E_ Col. Thcs. Moonlight of Leaven- worth Kansas, is to be minister to Bolivia. His name was sent to the senate Monday, and there is no doubt but he will be confirmed. He is one of the best known democrats in Kansas, and during Cleveland’s first term was appointed Gov. of Wyoming. The place pays a salary of $5,000 a year with $1,500 a year for clerk hire: The nomination of Col. Moonlicht disposes of C. H. J. Taylor, the colored politician of Wyandotte, Kansas, who was reject- ed by the senate some time age. Taylor claims the president will yet take care of him and he will get a position equally as good Congressman Hall’s remark, thes if he were legal adviser of all the consolidated wealth of the country he would advise its owners to advo- cate the income tax, was a hint which they would do well to ponder. If the class which monopolizes so much of the government's care and protection is not to bear its share of the burden the less fortunate will want to know the reason why. George Gould seems to wish to pre vent any troublesome questions of ‘this sort, as he has arnounced him- aelf in favor of the measure. If his fellow-millionaires are wise they will fall into line behind him.—Post Dispateh. B “TLER WEEKLY TIMES | | meb. | We have earned this money |} LET THE FIGHT STOP. The Republic is giving a demo- cratic Senate and a | president some wholesome advice. | While they are wrangliug over the | appointing prerogative of a few pal try offices, the democratic party. \their maker and master, ia drifting Ito the demuition bow-wows. The | Republic wants them to “get togeth jer” to settle their differences, what jever they may be, and labor togethe for the good of the country and | party. This is excellent advice. The | time bas come when every democrat democratic ic paper in the land should raise its officers high iu command fall out and quarrel, the army isin a position to be whipped by a much weaker foe Without discussing the merit« |of the cause of either side we think concessions should be made by both and differences, if not amicably set tled, at least abridged so as uot te |injure the party The democratic party, if Congres+ fulfills its pledges to the people and gives them tariff reform, to whic! consummation every indication now points, hasa very flatteriug prospret for a long lease of power. This prospect must not be endangered by discord among the leaders. If the President needs to be disciplined by the Senate or if obstreperous sena- tors need to be punished by the President, a more propitious time should be taken for either operation Now let this unseemly quarrel end. It has gone too far already The friends of R. B. Beck, the present efficient assistant Labor Commissioner, are talking his name for Railroad Commissioner. Mr. Beck for years has been an active party worker in the Southwest, is a courtecus, gentleman and would make an excellent official of the people to look after their inter- ests in dealing with the railroads of the state. The Bolivar Herald says of Mr. Beck: ‘He has served several terms as chairman of the Democratic county executive committee, and has been a member of various district commit tees. In conventions he has proved himself one among the most ener- getic and adroit workers in the state. He has loyally supported his friends in their political aspirations and has assisted many to official position. He is a Democrat whose loyalty to the party has never been questioned, and whose ability and zeal are uni versally recognized. In a party and personal sense he is worthy of pro motion and his nomination will assure the state a competent, faith ful, and energetic official. ———EE There seems to be no rest for the Kansas farmers. At Severance, in that State, a few days ago two young men of pleasing address, claiming to represent the Union Grocery Com- pany, of Chicago, went among the farmers taking orders for groceries, which they sold at fabulously low prices, but explained to their cus tomers that to insure the delivery of the goods they would have to collect from $5 to $20 inadvance. This amout varied according to the gul libility of the victim. After work ing the game to the amount of $250 or $300, they left on a night train, failing te even settle their board or livery bills. Not long since a patent right man sold to a prominent farm er named John McKay the right to sell a hog waterer for the sum of $700. It appears useless for news papers to warn farmers to look out for swindlers. They will continue to bite, and bite hard, at every swindle that turns up within their reach.—Clinton Democrat. clever Her Arm Broken: Mrs. C. A. Boyd, whose home is at the corner of Third and Lincoln streets, met with a singular accident atan early hour Sunday morning while walking in her sleep. At4o'clockin the moning Mr. Boyd was awakened by moans in the yard, and missing his wife at once hastened out to her assistance. He found her lying upon the damp ground in a speil of somnambulism, moaning and talking incoherently. She was found with her right arm was broken just below the shoulder. Naturally Mrs. Boyd can remem- ber none of the circumstances of her accident. When first awakened she did not know where she was or how she happened togbe there.—Clinton voice for peace and harmony.

Ave. and iith St. Washington. D. C, Jan. 29 —The ery has been raised with great effect tnat the Post Office Department has uot been responsive to Democratic jSentiment. A few figures on that point may be interesting Up to January 26, 1886, Mr. Vilas, then Postmaster General, had appointed 946 Presidential Postwasters. Ou be same date in 1890 Wanamaker 1,379 j9 » the aame day of this year Bissell jLad appointed 1,238 Postmasters. This shows that the record of Bis sell has been a good deal better than that of Vilas aud lacks but little of being equal to that of Wanamaker. So far as the fourth class Post- masters are concerned the record of the present administration is unpre- cedented. During the first 16 months of the first Cleveland administration there were appointed 20,881, During the first 16 months of the Harrison administrat‘on there were 24,645. During the 11 months of the present administration, under the able and efficient management of Fourth As- stant Postmaster General Maxweil, there have been appointed 21,323. The Republicans are bragging a good deal on Clarkson's ability as a headsmmin, Adlai E Stevenson was made Vice President of the United States because the Democrats ap- preciated his ability in changing Postmasters tu suit the Democratic party's political complexion. Clark- soa beut Stevenson, but Maarwell bas beaten Clarkson. Up to January 26, 1890, Clarkson had appointed 19,- 711 fourth-class Postmasters and during the corresponding period Maxwell bad appointed 20,483. This shows that Maxwell has beaten Clark- son nearly 2,000, yet Maxwell has not made much noise. Maxwell has not been splurging, but he has kept up steady work. Clarkson tried to make a record by appointing more fourth class Postmasters in one day than anybody else did in the same length of time Maxwell, however, by steady application to business, bas beaten Clarkson 1,772 in the same length of time. The fact is, very few Republican Postmasters now remamn in the had appointed Postmasters. SURPRISING FIGURES. | LA GRIPPE BOOK FREE. February—Be | Sent Post-Paid During Quick and Get One.

Waynesville, Mo., Jan. 28.—John Robinson yesterday shot and mort ally wounded James Vaughan and shot William Bates in the thigh Vaughan met Robinson in the street to settle an old grudge. Ouly a few words passed when Robinsou drew his pistol aud commenced firing, shooting Vaughan in the jaw, and a stray bullet hit Bates, who was only a spectator. The bullet which enter ed Vaughan’s jaw ranged upward and probably entered the base of the brain. After the shooting Robinson mounted his horse and went home, and has not been arrested. Sensation ma Pen. Columbus, O, Jan. 28.—There was a sensation in the big dining room at Ohio penitentiary to-day when Conviet John Conroy rose m the presence of the 1,900 prisoners seated at breakfast and announced his intention of taking bis own life. Conroy slashed the tide Benson, Mo., Jan. 29.—Charles fourth-class offices throughout the South and West. Mr. Maxwell has not bothered himself very much with the Eastern States, because they have an idea that they like civil ser- vice reform and continuity in office in the Eastern States. In the South and West,where they like to have the political complexions of their Post- masters changed with the complex- ion of the administration, Maxwell has been acting, as will be seen from the figures given. With this showing it is difficult to see how the Senators and Represen- tatives from the South or West can have any real grievance against the Post Office Department, but that is the department they have been both- ering and complaining of with most vehemence. It will only require a casual investigation of the figures that have been given to the Domo- crata of the South and West to con- vince them that as far as the turning out of Republicans and the putting in of Democrats is concerned the Senators and Represertatives from the States of the South and West have no cause for grievance against the administration. Anmiral Benham Brings Him to Time in Short Order. London, Jan. 30.—Dispatches re- ceived here from Rio de Janeiro, and others, say that at 10 o'clock this morning, Admiral Da Gama having opened fire on one of the American ships, a sharp engagement followed with the result that Admi- ral Da Gama surrendered.

He is now under arrest. The wife had an arm anda leg burned off and the child was al- most consumed. It seems that they were thrown on the bed, whieh was then saturated with coal oil and set on fire. Excitement runs high and summary means may be employed by the citizens. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends romperonal enjoyment when rightly The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the n of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pwre liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers SSiccaaaently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

Ouce he detiber ately sawed a finger off in the prison shops so he might not be compelied to work. Conroy is serving a five years’ sentence for having burglars’ tools in his possession. Painter Hanged Twice Chicago, Ill., Jan. 26.—George H. Painter was hanged at 8:04 o'clock this morving for the murder of Alice C. Martin. The rope broke at the first attempt aud the doomed man was picked up limp. Auother rope was secured and he was hanged a second time. The rope used was the same that was used in hanging the Anarchists. The scene was a trying one to the people who were present. The jai physian said the second hang” ing was unnecessary, as Painter's neck was broken by the first drop. Painter smoked a cigar on his way to the scaffold and tried to re- tain his composuore. After prayer by the Rev. Moordyke, he stepped forward and in a faltering voice said: “Men have sought death because they thought there was an advance ment in future life. Today I hate to die. Idont want to die IfI killed Alice Martin, the woman I dearly loved, I pray this minute, my last on earth, that the eternal God will put me into eternal hell. Gen- | tlemen, if there is a man among you who is an American in his soul, I say see that the murderer of Alice Mar- tin is found.
