THE mAHoxEY MURDER.

The jury in the Mahoney murder
case found . verdict of murder in
the second degree. It may bs q
matter Of regret to many that the
author Of this brutal and cowardly
piece of work was not so convicted
BY the jury that he could be hung
for his crime. The killing Of Mrs.
Maheney by her husband was prob
ABLY the most fendish murder ever
committed in Nevada. Mshoney
dragged his wife from the house.

kicked her in the ribs. jumped on
her chest and wound up the scene
by MASKING her head in with rocks.
He acted like q man who was bent
On exterminating some noxious an
imal. There were eleven wounds
on the woman's face, and scores Of
bruises on her body. photographs
of the murdered woman's face were
exhibited to the jurors and they
sickened at the sight of them.
Clearly the wretch deserves hang
ing. if q man ever did and if a soft
hearted board of pardons do moi
sometime interfere he will proba-
bly, spend the balance Of his &C.
cursed existance in the State Prison
This il the first instance in many
years where one Of these wife beat
ing scamps has come anywhere
near getting his just deserts. Had
Mrs. Mahoney lived, her husband
would have been tried for assault
and battery and the jury woulo
have disagreed.

The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-02-07

The siIliest bosh in behalf of free-trade is the
borrowed slush in the REFLECTOR. The compiler
of that papers chaffy tariff articles himself knows
about as much about the science of political econ
omy as little school boy, and he vainly imagines
that egotism and blow will pass for good sense in
this acknowledgements.
What the Gazette lacks in courtesy
and sense, it makes up in personal
abuse. The REFLECTOR S editorial page
is the work of its editor, and it has its
first editorial to steal. Can the Gazette
say as much? Moreover, the REFLEC-
TOR has challenged the Gazette to a dis
cussion of the tariff question and it
handles the challenge in the above man.
ner. 1t is welcome to all the respect
and confidence its blaekguardism brings
it. Has the Gazette sense enough to
write logical argument in favor of
protection, and manhood enough to be
courteous?

ton, and completely refutes the charges
of the republican press that the demo-
cratic party was committed to absolute
free trade. The reduction is no lower
than was recommended by republican
Commission, but republican Congress
was afraid to make more than five per
cent. reduction.
The bill commits the democratic par
tya systematic reduction of the tariff
until a just and reasonable basis is
reached. The issue is fairly joined
Will the republican party oppose the
bill ? When it is perfected and put up
Oh its passage the question will be an
swered. Our anti-monopoly Congress,

Policy Prohibitionists.

What are the earnest, conscientious
who believe in prohibi-
ton first, last and all the time, going to
do with these unfaithful advocates of
the principle, who are, at times when
there is no conflict with the republican
party, so anxious to advance the cause"
that they even open themselves to the
charge of being visionary fanatics!
Surely, and in all honesty, a man who
declares in favor of prohibition should
be true to the principle when it is weak
and its future uncertain, as well as
when it shall have grown to lusty
manhood.
To succeed, prohibition must be voted
for, and it is certainly disappointment
to those who are ''almost persuaded"
to become converts to the principle, to
see such champions asALBERT GRIFFIN
switch from the track as soon as the
critical moment arrives. 1t takes crltl-
cal moments to test a mans principle
and purpose, and Mr.. GRIFFIN has failed
to safely pass the crisis. He says,
speaking of the National Prohibition
ticket:
Nobody pretends to believe that the
independent prohibition candidate Will
carry a single State. Everywhere, the
real issue will be between the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, and the
prohibitionist who refuses to vote fol
the Republican ticket increases the
chances of a Democratic victory"
Mr.. GRIFFIN says in so many words
that he will sacrifice his prohibition
principles to the success of the Repub-
lican party. In other words, this high
minded gentleman sacrifices his mora
convictions to political policies. If, as
he says, lit is those who remain IL
not those who leave-a party, who
''shape its policies for good or evil, >

Contract Labor.

1t is the boast of the protectionists
that high tariff protects and dignifies
American labor. The Western protec-
zionist cares nothing for the manufac-
turer; it is the laborer for whom he is
willing to burden himself with high
taxes.
Therefore, to be logical, if protection
doesn't protect the laboring classes,
then our Western protectionist should
naturally adopt the democratic doctrine
of tariff for revenue only"
The laborers in the protected indus
tries of the country are asking each 9TH
CT where and in what way they are pro-
tected by high tariff. To-day, hun
dreds of them are idle, and hundreds of
others are given the option of working
for reduced wages or quitting altogeth-
er. Added to this condition of things,
is the knowledge of the fact that man.
ufacturers and other employers are i'm
porting contract labor from the pau
per classes of Europe. Is it any Won
der that the laborer is growing very
suspicious of the oft repeated declara-
ton that a high tariff protects him?
1t is logical, it is right, that the labor
ing classes should 60 before Congress
and ask for protection against the sell
fshness of the men who are protected,
but who give their workmen no benefit
of the system. On this point the Phil
adelphia Record says:
Resolutions of conventions and asso-
Citations of workmen, as well as discus
sions in the newspapers, indicate plain
Iy enough that the public interest in the
question of imported labor is increas-
ing. In certain branches of industry
wOrkingmen experience the fact that
they are constantly exposed to under
bidding in wages by fresh importations
of cheap labor from Italy and Hungary,
and their appeals, to congress and state
legislatures for protection are becoming
louder. There is no disputing that
these demands have much justice, as
long as the pretension is maintained
that it is the duty of the state to pro-
tect the products of labor from foreign
competition. Workingmen can have
their share in the pretended benefits of
the tariff system only when they are pro-
tected against importatiOns of cheap for
eign labor. What good to them are
high taxes on the commodities which
they consume when cheap importations
of foreign labor reduce their wages to a
standard that barely enables them to
keep body and soul together? Is it not
easier for workingmen to compete with
foreign labor on its own ground than to
have it brought face to face with them
in conflict in American mines and fac
tories? These are questions which work
ingmen in various forms and with In
creasing persistency are putting to pro-
teetionist legislators and statesmen
who profess so lively a solicitude fol
their interests.

The REFLECTOR can blow off any number oil
sophomore sentences about free trade-a subject
about which it knows little or nothing of its own
knowledge-but it is too cowardly to say Yes Or
No as to whether it is in favor Of raising the tarlt
on wool, ''or not" Cheek and windy pretension
count for nothing in the face of a square backout.
The self-important REFLECTOR is afraid to say yes
or no, when asked a fair questiOn.-Gazette.
The REFLECTOR has no hesitancy IN
saving that it is in favor of not raising
the tariff on wool. Is that statement
plain enough? AndnOw will the Gazette
please explain why a. Republican Con-
press reduced the tariff on the raw ma
terial and maintained the high duties
on manufactured wool? Of what bene-
fit is the republican party to the Yves
tern wool grower when it thus so fla
gravity legislates against him and In IA
vor of the Eastern manufacturer? Has
the Gazette any courage? Has 1t any
convictions, and sense enough tc
logically uphold them? If it has, il
will accept the REFLECToR's repeated
challenge to discuss the tariff question
And if we know nothing about it, its
victory will be easy. 1t can rest as
sured that intelligent readers will moi
mistake its personal abuse for argu
ment. A paper gains no respect, NJ
strength when it stoops to billingsgate
In its advocacy of "a tariff for revenue
only" the REFLECTOR believes that il
knows what it is talking about. 1t doe:
not propose to dodge the question, anc
it will not favor the protection of few
wool growers at the expense of the mil
lions who are not wool growers. "Pro
lection to none, equality to ALL" is the
REFLECTOR doctrine. Let the Gazett
assail it in gentlemanly manner. LIE
it place itself on the side of monopOliet
and corporate oppression. Let it b
manly, and if it is to oppose the inter
ests of the masses, it should do it fairl.
and honestly. Let the Gazette come t
the front with its courage and idea
of political economy. Will it do it?
