a COSTLY FAILURE.

The attempt Of the holders of
large quantities OF whisky for two years
70 dodge their taxes is q notable failure.

making spirits and putting them in q
government warehouse for two years be-
fore paying tax on them, proceeded TO
I'LL the warehouses IN addition 70 over
stocking the market. This course event
tually got them into trouble. Then they
went to Washington and made the most
importunate complaint which has been
heard in recent years. Bold as the
Legislators have been in defying public
opinion, they did not dare
give the distiIlers what they
wanted. The appointed day came and
the distiilers paid up. Notwithstanding
they had prophesied that the bottom
would at once fall out of the whole IN
dustriAl situation. Failing in a second
attempt TO capture the committee or

THE BOOMERS.

They Are Bounced from the OkIaho-
I ma Country by Gen. Hatch.
b. CALDWELL, Kas., Aug. 7.-Yesterday
Gen. Hatch, in company with adjutant
Finley and Inspector Greene of the In
terior department, visited Payne's camp
at Reck Falls, and after reading the
presidents proclamation to him and his
assembled followers, directed them to
leave the territory before this morning
or they would be elected. This took
place In q small board shanty occupied
by the Oklahoma Chief newspaper.
Payne at first attempted TO discuss the
legal aspects OF the case, but soon be-
came angry and very abusive in his lam
guage.. A large crowd assembled from
the tents and shanties along the river
and the officers again admonlshed them
to leave and not return. The only reply
was . torrent of abusive epitheIs that
cannot be published. The officers then
returned to camp ten miles distant.
Early this morning two squadrons of

of an Indian agent, Rogers, arrested the

distant. The printing Office and other
buildings, including two boarding
houses, q drug store, cigar store and
restaurant, and some cheap dwellings
were then burned to the ground, and the

WORK NECESSARY.

A strong effort is being made to d.
vide the Republican party In this state,
which every true Republican should re-
solve shall not succeed. There were
some sixty votes in the state convention
which were opposed to the recognition
OF the prohibition law In the platform.
This small minority, finding they could
not run the convention of nearly four
hundred to suit them, are now
making an effort to re-elect
Governor Click. The very foundation
stone Of RepublicanIsm Is that the ma
jority shall rule. And yet this small
minority, while protesting to be Rspub-
licans and so soon as they find tn
cannot control party action, holt, and use
their every effort for the success OF the
Democratic party. This minority is now
being csjoled and applauded by the Dem
ocrats. They are called manly aud in
dependent. They are lauded TO
the skies. and the Democrats have
succeeded in getting them to call a con-
vention on the same day the Demo
cratic convention, that they may swal
low them as the snake swallows the
toad. The intention is by this means tc
defeat the Republican ticket. This fac
ton are the willing tools of the Demo
cratic politicians. They are willing Il
do the bidding of the Demo
Gratis for the mere purpose O
gratifying their spleen. The Repub
licans should use more than ordinar,

The Morning Star. the organ of the
Irish Roman Catholics in Louisiana,
has this to say of the political prospects
of that state.
"The drift of opinion In this state
seems rather toward Blaine. The sugar
and rice interests feel much safer in

cratic and naturally lean toward higher
tariff policy. That such q parish IS

the general detestation of ring rule as

The latest issue Of "PoJr's Railroad
Manual" presents some rather startling
figures showing the magnitude of the
railroad business IN this country. So
are many of the totals that
they are almost bewildering. At the
close of the fiscal year 1888 there were
IN the United States 120,552 miles OF
railroad. The share capital aggregated

The gross earnings of all railroads for

this would be- done, and as he is a strong

rha southern Erposltion.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Aug. 6.-COlonel
Bennett q. Young. president of the en-
terprise, announced to-day that the
Southern exposition will be formally
opened August 10 by Governor Knott.
This is the largest enterprise ever organ
lied and maintained by individual
effort. The Cappa and Gilmore
bands, OF New York, furnish the
music. The art gallery will
comprise the choicest selection of Amer
lean pictures ever selected. The live
stock exhibit will eclipse anything the
world ever saw. London's great stock
show led anything of the kind previous
" made, but the Louisville southern eX-
position will hereafter head the list OF
stock exhibits. One million dollars
worth of horses will stand in line less
than an eighth of q mile long. James
Paine, of London, furnishes fireworks.
There is to be a great competitive
military drill and other features OF no
less merit.
