Congressman Findlay, of Baltimore, has
incurred the dspleasure of nearly every Dem
ocrat in Maryland by his vote to strike out
the enacting clause of the Morrison tariff bill
He has written letter to n political club of
which he is a member, explaining his views
upon the tariff. He declares himself opposed
to free trade, but thinks the present tariff has
many unwise and injurious restrictions which
ought to be abolished. Believing this he is
hardly consistent in voting with the protec-
ZIONIST Republicans to prevent the Morrison
bill from being considered. If it had been
allowed to come before the House it would
have been open to amendments and Mr. Find
lay could then have voted rs hc pleased with
out offence to his constituents. By ranging
himself on the side of the Republicans to
choke off a measure intended to relieve the
burden of taxation upon the people he has
forfeited all claims to the respect of Demo
Gratis.

Our Next CONGRESSMAN.

Buckner, who has been in Congress
for twelve years, will not GO back
again without a struggle. AS long as
he was in the old St. Charles district
terms seemed as certain as if he had
a pocket borough. He has moved to
Audrain. and the boundaries have
beeen changed. Champ Clark, of
Pike. and Peers, of Warren, are
strong men and active politicians.
Each will get his own county, and
Peers will probably carry Lincoln, in
which he was born. St. Charles wishes
to put Theodore McDearmon On the
bench of the Court of Appeals, and
this affords opportunity for o trade.
st. Charles will give a Congressional
delegation to secure the Warren jul
diclal delegation. Audrain will, of
course, be for Buckner, and SO will
all the other counties as a second
choice. AS between the candidates
who develop at the opening of the
Convention, Montgomery and Frank
lin counties will be able to make a
speedy decision if their delegations
act together. -Globe-D Democrat.
Champ Clark, Of Pike, will not be
a candidate. Judge Elijah Robinson
of that county, is being strongly
urged by his many friends all over
the district to become a candidate.
II he consents to run, the man who
beats Judge Robinson will be next
congressman from this district.

at the College last Friday evening to
hear Miss Helen Potter, the aistin-
guished elocutionist, in one Of her

much was expected from the lady,
the expectations of the audience were
more than realized. Her queenly

won her hearers from the start. Her

FAIR WARNING.
Given BY the Grand Jury TO Cheap
Gamblers.

Given by the Grand Jury to Cheap
Gamblers.
Young men who throw dice for cigars,
play cards; boys or churches who get
up %ratles, etc, should read the follow
ing:
To the Honorable Elijah Robinson, Judge
of Circuit Court, Audrain County:
Your grand jury beg leave to report to
your honor that it has finished its labors
for this term of court, and after a care
full investigation finds that Audrain
County is unusually f ee from any of the
higher grades of offense, or such offenses
as are wrong in themselves below the
grade of felonies. But we find especially
one vice which we deem it advisable to
call attention to, and recommend to future
grand juries to give the matter rigid in
vestigation, and after indictments have
been found, the prosecuting attorney to
prosecute vigorously. 1t is the vice of
petty gambling. Section l560 of the re-
vised statutes provides: ''If any person
shall play at any game whatsoever for
money, property, or gain with cards,
dice, or any other device which may be
adapted to or used in playing any game
of chance, or in which chance is a ma
terial element, or shall bet or wager on
the hands or cards, or sides of such, as
do players aforesaid; every such person
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
punishment by Imprisonment in the
county Jail, not exceeding n year, or
fine, not exceeding one thousand dollars,
or both such fine and imprisonment"
We find the statute being violated almost
every day, and by parties almost innu-
merable, by parties engaged in rattle and
throwing dice for cigars and such kindred
practice, but, in almost every instance, on
investigation, has led US to believe that
the parties who have violated the above
statute have either done it innocently or
in ignorance of the law, and while ignor-
we do not desire to make a
scape-goat of any one or more
persons while so many are engaged in
similar practices. We do claim it advi-
sable, however, to call the attention of
the people generally to this petty vice so
that they may act accordingly, and that
by this jury giving public notice, future
grand juries will not be situated as this
one is, and all who violate the law in the
future may do so with the full knowl-
edge of its existence and expectation of
being punished as the law directs for
such violation.

TO MURDER
Miss Fannie Murphy, a Beautiful
Young Lady Well Known
of Meyieo.

Lady well kn0Wn
of Mexico.
Fort WORTH, TEX, February 1.-THE
particulars of a very diabolical affair, in
volving an attempt on the life Of a beauti-
full and accomplished young lady, have
Just come to light. Miss Fannie Muir
ply , the intended victim, is the daughte
of Rev. J. d. Murphy, pastor of the Bap-
fist church, and is also a teacher in the
Texas Wesleyan College. The morning of
Tuesday, JAN, %, she found on her desk
a note warning her not to eat anything
sent to her that afternoon. A box of fine
French candies was left at her door for
her. On opening the box she found q
slip of paper containing the genuine sig
nature of a particular gentleman friend.
She turned the box oyer to Prof. White,
principal, and he last Saturday pro-
nounced a fine powder contained in some
of the packages TO be arsenic. DR.. MUIR
ply was then told of the matter by his
daughter, who had up to this time kept
the matter quiet in order to not annoy
him unnecessarily. He in turn handed
the box to Wells, the druggist, and he
this evening confirmed Prof. Whites re-
port. The matter had been kept very
quiet, but then leaked out. The city is
greatly excited over the matter. Miss
Murphy has for some time past been the
recipient of anonymous notes warning her
| mt tn onnaar in tho nnaro (NhinnaS ~
Normandy, which will be presented mex
week for a charitable object. The house
has also been watched and the blinds
turned at unseemly hours. There is lit
tie clew to the perpetrators of the at
tempted crime. The young man who's,
name was on the slip in the box know.

was given on a note of warning sent Mis-!
l Murphy a few hours previous to the re
ception of the poisoned candy have with
drawn their consent to publication. The,

and Miss Murphy, he having about

name was in the box of candy, to-nigh
d denied the signature, saying it was neve
e shown him until last night. There ar
9 those who say this is a scheme on tn
part of the friends of the young lady
excite public sympathy. A few days wi
\ bring everything to light, as a committe
= of Baptist church members have deter
J, mined to sift the thing to the bottom.
It Miss Fannie Murphy, the lady referre
to, is well known in Mexico. Her fathe
for several years was pastor of the Bal
o. fist church of this city, and his daughtt
had a host of loving, admiring friend
= She is a beautiful young lady, with
most amiable disposition. 1t is sincerel
