ST. LOUIS, November 5.-Thomas J.
Gallagher. the we'll known sporting
editor of the Globe-Democrat, who
has been working up the May Church
i'll case continuously for many months
past, finally located the girl yesterday
III an insane asylum, three miles from
Indianapolis, where she had been
working in d laundry since September
4th, under the name of Jennie Lock
wood. Gallagher had long interview
with her last night, but did not learn
why she left home nor whether she
will return. Her leaving home, how
ever, was voluntary act. She went
alone, and all the theories about elope-
ment, marriage, or her being in any
way connected with any gentleman,
were all wrong. Colonel Churchill,
the girls father, left for Indianapolis
Saturday, and further developments
will follow his seeing her.
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of May Churchill, daughter
of the wealthy st. Louis merchant,
has been solved by the complete iden-
tification of the missing girl in this
city. After fruitless search of nearly
two months by detectives all over the
land, DR., Fletcher, of the Insane Asy-
lum, was struck with the description
of the missing girl to the remarkable
closeness to which it answered the
appearance of domestic in the laun-
dry department, and at once notified
the authorities. who, in company with
Thomas J. Gallagher, of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, called at the asylum
and identiged the girl. She gives no
reason for her sudden disappearance.
She left the city last night in company
with her father, to pay brief visit to
her neither, but declares she can make
her own living, and informed Doctor
Fletcher thatshe would report for duty
Wednesday.

A Chepopa, Kansas, dispatch of Oc-

murders committed by the notorious
Bender family, near Cherrydale, Kan,
is again the theater of interest and ex-
element. For long time past the
farm occupied by the Tenders has
been owned and run by J. q. Murphy.
About ten days ago, Murphy, while
plowing, unearthed sealed tin can,
which, on being opened, was found to
contain lot of green backs, silver and
gold, amounting in all to over $50, 600.
1t is supposed that the money is the

In order to collect $1s6. 6.522, ,O64 by
tariff tax in 1880 for the benefit of the
Federal treasury, the people paid
bounty to the favored and privileged
manufacturing mOnopolists of over
$500, ,000, 600, to say nothing of the in
creased profit paid to the wholesale
and retail dealers who pay the increas-
ed price paid to the manufacturer in
consequence of the tariff tax on i'm
ported goods. This bounty is levied
upon the industry of the country, and
goes directly into the Golfers of the
favored monopolists. This whole tar
iff system is q cunningly devised
scheme for compelling the poor pro-
ducing people to pay the taxes which
the rich owe to the Government for
the protection afforded them. The
constitution undoubtedly vests in Con-
gress the authority to impose tariff du-
ties on foreign imports for the purpose
of raising revenue to pay the indebt-
edness and meet the current expenses
Ol luO 0OVcEnnlcAC, Jul W lCFy uutAcc
for the purpose of compelling the peo-
pie to contribute bounties to the priv
ileged monopolists, is most manifestly
unjust, and for which no warrant can
be found in the constitution. Yet the
Republican leaders have built their
political fabric upon the doctrine that
the main object of tariff should be
to protect the manufacturing indus
tries of the land, which is in effect
declaring that the people should be
taxed to pay bounties to the monopo-
lists. The Democratic doctrine is that
Congress has no authority to tax the
people In any way except for the pur-
pose of raising necessary revenue for
the support of Government, and in
the framing of tariff laws that object
should be kept constantly in view.
The people are likely to be brought
face with this great subject in the near
future. It cannot be lodged much
longer.

IN 1866 we carried IS per cent. of
both our exports and imports in our
own vessels; but in 1880 we carried
hardly II per cent. of them, and du-
ring that year we paid foreign vessels
about $l25, 200, 900 for the same carry
ing. 1t is said that not bushel of our
wheat export was carried i'll our own
vessels last year. In 1855 We built 3Sl
vessels, mostly for the foreign trade,
and in 1880 only %, which are mostly
for our coasting trade.

Changed His Opinion.

The Cincinnati News Journal says:
Mr.. Justice Harlan appears to have
changed bis views as to the limits of
Federal authority. In 1866 General
Harlan was citizen of Fran kfort, KY,
where, Immediately after Johnson's
veto of the Freedman's Bureau meas
ure, a mass meeting was held and res
olutions adopted. The Yeoman says
General Harlan drafted the resolutions
and made speech in their support.
The fourth resolution reads as follows:
RESOLVED, That each State has
the exclusive right to fix and regulate
by law the political and civil status of
its citizens, and any attempt of the
Federal Government to interfere with
this right of the States, by special leg
islation in favor of or against any
class, race, or nationality in the States,
respectively, is the exercise of power
without constitutional warrant, and
dangerous to the liberties OF the peo-
ple.'
"This view of the matter does not
fit in very smoothly with the Justices
dissent from the recent opinion on the
civil rights act."

THE following significant verses are
said to have appeared originally in the

WHY build we railroads throughout all the land?
Whv clear our rivers out flom source to strand?
WHY dig canals from central lake to shore,
And send our sur,,lus there? TO ship it o'erp
Then. vhy obstruct our commerce on the scar
wbv close our toll. gates, channels God made
free?
Gods laws of commerce know no other bound
Than human wants, where'er those wants are
found;
And human wants in evory cline demand
.,he products of the world from sea and land,
Why labor hard to mako or clear track,
And then obstruct cargo coming backf
Ali why spend billions to make commerce
cheap.
And then dam up the channels If the deep?

Our tariff makes a large class rich.
| So they can live in ease.
| And feeds ten thousand men VINO lIcn
To gather public Jees.

We think will give us peace;
It's rather hard for you out West,'
| But favors many East.
And peace. you know is what we need,
| And that we must maintain.
Although it mukes our pockets bleed
And thousands may be slain.
| Protection is of course a sham
| Except for men of wealth..
But we must rule as best we can,
And lahore good fer health,
The rich, you know, we hace to buy.
The poor we hold by force;
And this explains the reason why
We take this tariff course.
But do not let the people know
The simple should not know it
For thus it's been, aud qoiU be so;
| And hence, unwise to show it.

SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. 3l.-A fire
broke out in Garnet, Stubbs & Co.'S
warehouse at 1890 this afternoon. In
the building were stored 5000 bales OF
cotton, all of which were destroyed.
The fire spread to buildings on Joach-
i'm, Farm, Mill, Iadian and River Sts.,
and was checked when it reached West
Broad street and Indian street. The
Electric Light Works and Tynan's
iron foundry were among the principal
places burned. The rice mills, stores
and other property on the north side
of River street were saved. The most
of the houses destroyed were wooden
structures, occupied by poor people. 1t
