The general is good in figures, but somehow he faila this time to give estimates of majorities. -The tariff b:ll increases silks from $46.96 to $53.41, and on wool and woolens from $47 62 to $86.54. The people who buy the goods pay the difference. Russell Sage, the great New York financier and many times a million- aire, celebrated his 81st birthday Friday. He still enjoys the best of health, and goes to his office regu- larly every day. John A. Knott, president of the organization of democratic editors of Missouri, bas issued a call for a meeting of the executive ccmmittee at the Midland hotel, Kansas City, the 18th inst. Since the passage of the tariff bill prosperity has struck tha luw- ber trust and prices of yellow pine lumber has gone up $1.50 on the 1,000 feet. Who foots the bill? The fellow that builds the house. The farmer, when he cors‘ders the case, bas little room to congratulate himself over the advance in the price of hie wheat. When he eomes to buy his sugar, shoes and other sup. plies for his family he will find the advance in his wheat has all been swallowed by the trusts. —_ Samuel, David and Robt. John- son, brothers, and Wm. Strickland were arrested Friday near Hatfield, charged with counterfeiting. The Johnsons are sons of a preacher and allare promioent farmers. Robt. Johnson made a full confession and volunteered to turn state’s evidence. ny Congressman Burke, of Texas, predicts that the tariff bill will de- feat the republicans in the next con- gressional election and that the national ticket in 1900 will be headed by Bryan, of Nebraska, for president and Hogg, of Texas, for vice presi- dent. That ticket would read all right. We have heard W. W. Graves spoken of as a suitable candidate for Circuit Judge on the democratic ticket next year. But we notice that the Democrat mentions both Smith and Francisco for the same place. Ex-Gov. T. T. Crittenden Comes Home Ardent for Silver. | Kansas City Times, 8th. | Ex-Governor T. T. Crittenden. | who for four years has represented the United States government at the City of Mexico, as eonsul general, and who was recently succeeded by iMr. Barlow of St. Louis, reached | home yesterday morning, accompa |nied by Mra. Crittendes, and regis- | tered at the Midland. | Governor Crittenden returns to Missouri lookiog younger than woen |he left; he elso returns a thorough | free rilver man. “Silver is a great success in Mex- ico,” said he yesterday, ‘and despite the low price of silver at the present time, Mexico is very prosperous. Down there they sell everything out ofthe country at gold prices and raise every thing with silver as the money. Ycu never eea gold io circulation there and yet the country is prospering. I believe ia silver as a money metal. Free silver in this country would make the United States much more prosp2rous than itis now. This country will never prosper as it should until silver is restored to its old position, just where it was before there was ever a law passed against it. “As for the new tariff bill,” he continued, ‘it is an outrage azainst the people. It will almost entirely shut off commerce between this country and Mexico. Everything tbat Mexico sends to the United States is taxed todeath The peo- ple of Mexico look upon the bill with the greatest suspicion: many of them regard it es directly aimed at Mexico, and it will drive almest all of their trade to Europe. The Mex- icans believe in trading with people who do not discriminate against them. They prefer to trade with England, France and Germany— particularly England—rather than with the United States. If. how- ever, the laws were favorable, the United States would get almost the entire trade of Mexico—-at least 90 per cent of it. “If I had my way there would not be a custom house on the Rio Grande. The best thing that this country could do would be to admit absolutely free of duty all that Mex- ico bas to send us; or if not this, to at least establieh reciprocal relations and admit free what Mexico has to send us on condition that that coun- try would admit free what we haye to send it.

The dealers are indignant over the in crease, and declare that they will submit to it only so long as it will be required for making arrangements to butcher their own meat.

Not much is being said publicly, but managers of Texas lines are discussing the matter with much interest. Two Texas reads, one leading to Galveston and one to New Orleans, will fight, and are sa curing a unanimity of solid front of opposition to the commission’s pro- posed reductious. It is believed the railways ean win their case and that the muiter may as well ba fought out cone time as another. Nineteen Skeletons Exhumed. Valley, Neb, Aug. 8.—A grading company at werk near here exhumed niveteen human skeletons yesterday All the bodies were evidently buried with their clothes on and without coffics. Five were women. The bodies had probably been in the ground fifteen or twenty years, but no rerident of the locality can recall any burying ground being located here, nor does rumor relate anything in the past that will account for the presence of the skeletons. The bodies were covered with only a few feet of earth avd were placed close together in a long trench. M'KENNA’ SPRINGS A COUP. Stops Pay of Democratic Deputy Marshals Who Will Not Vacate. Washington, D C, Aug. 10.—At- torney general McKenna has map- ped out a course of procedure which seta at naught the decision of a fed- eral judge, and at the same time makes happy all the newly appoint ed republican United States mar- shals throughout the country. Some time ago Judge Jackson of West Virg‘nia rendered a decision in the case of John K. Thompson. then just appointed United States mar- shal for West Virginia. He held that the deputy United States mar shale who keld cflice by virtue of appointment under Thompson's democratic predecessor were under civil service rule and could not be removed except for cause. Thompeoa appealed to Attorney General McKenna. who came promptly to his rescue. To day he authorized the chief clerk of the de- partment of justice to withhold the salaries of all deputy United States marshals in West Virginia who held over from the last administration. They will not be paid, and the de- partment cf justice is of the opinion that the democratic deputies will get mad and resign. This plan is to be followed in all the states where like conditions prevail. Attorney General McKenna helds tbat deputy marshals go out of of- fice when the mau who appointed them goes out. This opinion will make clear sailing for the marshals of the western district of Missouri when appointed, and for Billy Sterne of Kansas, who will assume his office in the fall Under this ruling they can name all their depu- ties who want to serve under a re- publican administration.

Regent with the Premiership ad in- terim. Santa Agueda is between San Se- bastain, the summer residence of the Spanish court, and Victoria, the cap ital of the province of Alva, about thirty miles south of Billio. The Premier weat there last Thursday to take a three weeks course of the bathe, after which he intended to return to San Sebastain to meet the United States Minister, Woodford, when that gentleman should be oftic ially received by the Queen regent. The assassin narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the waiters and attendants who rushed forward. Detectives and civil guards immedi ately secured him. He was very pele trembled violently, and evident- ly feared that be would be killed on the spot. He will first be arraigned before the local magistrates of Ver gara The murderer declares that he killed Senor Canovos “in accomp!ish ment of a just vengeance,’ and ‘hat the deed is the outcome of a vast ararchist conspiracy. He is believed to have arrived at Santa Agueda the same day as the Premier, and he war frequently seen lurking in the pas- sage of the bathing establishment in @ suspicious manner. The greatest excitement and indig- nation prevails among all classes. Allthe members of the diplomatic corps have expressed their sympathy with the government Many sena- tors, deputies and generals,while ex- pressing their grief and indignation have offered to render to the govern- ment all the assistance in their power It was rumored that the assassin was one of the pardoned Barcelona anarchists but this is not confirmed. MANY THINK. Strikers Epjoined from Everything Else —Operators Feel Elated. New York, Aug. 7.—Coal mine operators here are informed that the strike agitation in West Virginia has been effectually stopped. Judge John Jay Jackson's blanket injunc- tion went into force last night, the operators yesterday having filed a bond of $5,000 to cover the costs. The injunction remains in full force until September 20, when arguments will be heard on both sides. If necessary, uuder conditions, the employes, of the Baltimore & QO: io can be used as ceputies against the strikers, as the road is in a fed- eral receivership. By the injioction Debs and bis asscciates are enjoined fron speak ing about tbe subject of strikes in and about Monongah mines They are not permitted to intercept miners on their way to and frcm work; they cannot speak on any of the public highways leading to the mines; lastly they are ordered to hold uo public or private meetiogs whatsoever in the neighborhocd of the mines in question Three injunctions almost as sweep- ing have been granted in the Pitts- burg district. New Yors, Aug. 6.—Aimos: the firat New York paper to condemn the Judge Jacksou injunction on the strikers is the Evening Post, the leading financial and corpora tion organ and usually the lest to giye strikers any sort of encourage ment. It says: : “Debs is not a person whose out | erys generally excite commisseration, | but if the press report of the nature of the injunction granted by Judge Jackson is correct, the striking | miners are hardly getting fir treat ment. As Debs say-, he nas been enjoined cff the face of the eartb.” While the earth bas recovered from worse calamities than that, it must be remembered that our constitution | i i guarantees certain rights to all citi-| zens. A msn may be an extremely fool- ish or mischievous agitatcr, but eo! long as he refrains from violenos | | iH and from inciting others to violence, it has not been the policy of cam- mon law to interfere with him An injusction not to interfere ‘by word or deed’ with the affairs of a coal ecmpany or av individual is not; reconciled with the right of free! speech Oathe right Gov.

If the trust which for eo many years has had its hands upon the threat of the state is not broken up, it will be because the laws of the state egainst combines are inadequate, and if this is found to be the case the next legislature will be called upon to pass laws which will reach.
