TIE TRIBUTE OF AN OLD ASSOCIATE.

SIR: The death of Mr. Bayard Taylor makes still

him every day, apparently full of health and
strength. showing undated capacity for literary
work and with as great passion for it as ever.
Nobody who witnessed the brilliant scene at Del

him adieu, but will find a new and sad
illustration in this melancholy intelligence of
the transitory nature of earthly honoTs. The
lights are hardly extinguished. the flowers are
scarcely faded, the sounds OF music have but just
died away, we can almost feel the farewell pressure
Of his hand-and get all Is over. the prospect of
new honors which was before him has faded and

1 STUNNING REPORT.

STUNNING REPORT.
Does the Chamber Of Commerce need any
more convincing report than that furnished
by the GLOBE this morning? Two instances
are given where farmers ground their wheat
and sold their flour. One sold thirty six
bushels of wheat, ground int, flour, for
twenty dollars and fifty cents more than the
Washburn wheat ring would pay for the
wheat. This shows profit of .1yyy-seyen
cents per bushel on that wheat
Another realized on forty bushels twenty
one dollars more than was paid blythe mil1ers'
ring. This was profit of fifty cents per
bushel. That is the way the ring are taking
advantage of the farmers.
No wonder the organs shout that Wash
burn is not a member of the association. he
is part owner Of the largest mills in Mime
apolis, and is represented in the ring by his
partners. He receives his share of every
dollar stolen Of the farmers by the ring.

A TELEGRAM from Los Angeles, California,
states that the Southern Pacific railroad peo-
pie are actively interested in the annexation
Of northern Mexico, and attention is called
to Gov. stanford's speech of two years since,
declaring the intention of his corporation to
extend their operations into Mexico. There
IS a large amount of Eastern capital interest
ed In Sonora and Lower California. Recent
arrivals from Tucson and the districts south
speak of great mining activity, and also Of.
a growing belief that there must be move
ment at an early day south to the line of
Mazatlan, east therefrom to Nuev Leon.
and thence south to Matamoras. tt has
been an open secret ever since the subject of
a Southern Pacific railroad was bruited.
that one result of it's completion would be
the annexation of the northern states of
Mexico, SO rich in auriferous deposits. Such
an addition to our territory would be of
great value, and would render the Southern

of the executive and his servants. They
should have the power to enforce q reduc-
tion of the expenditures of the administra-
ton. They can gain that power by hard,
persistent work for the next four weeks in
every Congressional district in the country.
They ought to have the power to check the
financial lunacy of the secretary of the treas
ury, and give to the currency issues
of the government. their full value in the
money marts of the nation. They can have
that power if they go to work at once and
keep at work until the polls close on the
evening of the 5th of November. They
ought to have the power to work a
thorough reform in the civil service, and to
regulate matters in the interests Of the peo-
pie in spite of the efforts of the corrupt gang
of Office holding sharks who now manage
our affairs. They can grasp that power only
by unceasing, Whole-souled work. They
ought to be able to place the stamp of disap-
proval upon the consummated fraud by
which a man never elected has been placed
in the executive Office, and punish the cor
rupt aud venal tools who did the bidding of
the monstrous villains who. directed them,
not forgetting to properly meet out retribu-
tion to the principals in the transaction.
They can attain to this power by work, and
by work alone. They will have to meet a
well disciplined army, desperate in the con-
sciousness Of having reached the last ditch
where they must die. But they must re-
member that it is battle between honesty
and dishonesty, economy and corruption,
true democracy and despotism. They must
not relax their vigilance. They must organ
ize and work. Only by the most Herculean
labors can the Augean stables be thoroughly
cleansed. It is task of the utmost import
ance-a sacred duty from which none must
finch. The results will be a full recompense
for the labor, and Democrats must neither
grow weary nor hesitate. Organize and

ANOTHER CLERGYMAN FALLEN.

Disgusting Criminal Conduct Alleged
4Oninst an Old Minister of Easte,,,
Kentucky.
Venceburg (Ky.) Correspondence Cincinnati
Gazette.l
For months past it has been rumored that
Rev. William B. Broadwell has been addict
ed to irregularities unbecoming civilized
man, much less a teacher of the holy word.
His acquaintance were slow to accept such
charges, as Mr.. B. has been known in this
community for more than thirty years as an
earnest worker in all moral causes, enthusi-
astic in Sunday schools, and gifted in song
and prayer. To see this venerable looking
person, SO years old, a gray-headed veteran,
arrested by officers of the law, and then tried
before the county judge for crime, shocks
beyond expression the better sense of the
community. 1t was struggle, indeed, to
accept the situation. But truth demands an
exposure of the facts, a task perform with
profound sorrow, especially in regard to his
aged wife and to his children and grand
children.
AS presented in court the circumstances
were as follows: The accused, William 3.
Broadweu, is merchant tailor by trade, and
occupies rear room on Main street, this
city. He also kept small shop for the sale
of apples and confectionery, which school
children frequented. Young girls testified
that in this retired place they met their ruin.
The accused received the testimony with
scorn and defiance, but Judge Fryor held
him in bonds of $500 for trial at the criminal
court. Broadwell claims to be the owner of
500 acres of land in this (Lewis) county and
house and lots in Dover, Mason county,
where his wife resides. But, with this rea
estate to back him, no friends appeared as
surety, and to Jail he was committed.
It was well he did go into durance vile.
Our prison is very strong, and the fathers
and brothers of the children were ready to
take the law into their own hands. The
most determined set of men I ever saw were
in readiness to administer tar and feathers
citizens maintained the peace, be it said to
their credit, and our officials were firm in
maintaining order.
This unfortunate man is a native of New
York. He migrated to Maysville in 1910.
His religious work then was with the Pres
byterians, under Rev. DR.. Grundy. After
ward he accepted position as Baptist
minister, and labored with that denomina-
ton until of late years he has co-operated
with, and preached for the Christian church.
He is superintendent of Sunday school
here, and to all outward appearance he was a
jealous and earnest minister of the latter
denomination, both here and in Dover, Ky.
The officers of his church here had formu-
lated charges which would have tested Mr..
Broadwell's standing at an early day. He
has, of course, many sympathizers, who be-
ieve it is impossible he could have offended
as charged, and who allege his age and fixed
Christian character as absolutely warranKsaag
his innocence. It is hoped that investigation
may show that they are right.
