OUR Edinburgh correspondent this
week sent us an account of the cap
ture of Irwin g. Porter, the Columbi-
ana child murderer, in that town. We
had already in type an account of the
affair from an exchange, which is the
reason for omitting that of our cor
respondent.

TariH Logic,

There Is nothing connected with
American politics which seems so total.
ly to blind the reason of its advocates
as protective tariff. They appear to
be unconscious OF the force OF logic, and
strangely incapablcof drawing the plain
est conclusions from the plaiuest facts.
They proclaim the baldest absurdilie
with the confident air of one who an.
nounces selr-evident proposition.
The editor of the zanesville 1deocate,
who modestly styles himself 40 sound
political economist" says;
s.In no article that we ever penned
upon the subject OF protection Of Amer.
ican industry did we ever leave ont the
consideration that in the success Of the
Home Manufactures we also secured the
success of tho Farmer.
.Wheneyer we read Of protection to
the manufacturer. characterized as rob
5ing the farmer, we put down NE authol
/ of such an assertion As an fgnUsanaus ol
q demagogue" s'st
In the very same editorial from which
the foregoing is clipped, we find the fol
lowing. which furnishes the editor q tex'
| for his tariff sermon: !. (
Recently carload OF corn was ship
ped to Philadelphia from the interior o
Iowa, uia The Philadelphia and Erit
Railroad and its connections, and con
signed to Messrs. Stanffer ,i& Seyffert
commission merchants The freight
charges commissions, and other expen
ses, amounted to $3.50 10, leaving de
6cit of S10 to the shippers, ia additio,
to The value Of the corn at the point q

That we now have high protective
tariff neither the editor of the Aduocdt,
nor any one else will deny. Why tber
| is not s.the success of the farmer secur
ed2" We have the tariff which 'secnre'
the success !" but is it success to pa,
more for shipping corn than the corr
will sell for after it is shippeds Wha
| is the sense in telling that Iowa farme
that he is making money after he ha
4 lost his car load of corn and ten dollar
besides? You may preach high tariff t.
that man till the crack O. doom, and b.
Il
will not believe his success has heen Sc

i Furthermore, as direct consequence
of the high tariff, it costs that farme
from ten to twenty-five per cent more t

A Career of Crime Extending
Over Twenty YeaTs-.Slx Victims
- an Aged POisOuer.

o. an Aged POisoner.
DAYTON, May l5.-The talk in regard
to the supposed poisoning affair at Ger
mantown had the effect of causing the
authorities to take hold of the matter,
and an investigation was ordered which
was held before Squire Frank in Ger
msntown to-day. The testimony in the
case points strongly to Mike Earhart
and his aged mother, both of whom
we're required to give bail in the sum OF
81 900 for their further appearance.
Mrs. Earthart, from the talk in the
neighborhood, must be very devil, far
surprising the worst crimes ever attrib-
uted to Lucretia Borgia. She is charg-
ed with having poisoned during the past
twenty years her father, two of her chill
dren, her sons wife and two Of his chill
dren, and burning her urcle's barn about
five years ago. She is about seventy
years of age, wrinkled, gray and ugly,
and utterly refuses to be interviewed by
any interpreter The bodies of hel
supposed victims will all be disirterred
next week, and further horrible devel
opments in confirmation Of the dark
hints thrown out against her will be
awaited with almost impatience. Ger.
mantovn is stirred to its deepest deptbs
by the events.

The Kansas Butchery.-8 More
Bodies Discovered.

Boudinot, who mas just returned from
the scene Of the Bender murders, re-
ports three more graves discovered yes.
terday. sa0yer three thousand people
were on the ground, and special train
had just arrived with seven cars filled
with people. There was intense excite.
ment all over the country, and a firm
determination to ferret out the parties
engaged in the murders.
1t is understood large rewards viii be
offered by the county and State for the
arrest of the assassins. Nearly all the
bodies of the dead were indecently mu.
tilated. 1t is considered certain thai
the little girl was thrown alive into the
grave of her father, as no marks of VIC.
lence were found on her body.
