The coach which left Helena for Ben
ton the 9th inst. was stopped about noon
in the canyon within two miles of Mart
Mitchell's by two mounted men. No de-
tails of the occurrence are at hand, but it
is understood that the passengers-C. w.
Cooper, F. T. Bradley, and C. E. Dudley
were ranged along in line and search
ed, losing thereby every dollar they had
with them. The driver, Tom Ha1tigan
was not molested. The mails were also
searched, it is reported. The treasure
box was broken open but it contained
nothing. The robbery took place after
the Helena.bound coach passed up, and
the news was brought to Silver City by a
stock-tender, whence it was telephoned
in to Helena. It is consequently meager
in detail. Officers Steele and Conrad left
at once for the scene Of the robbery.-ln-

Revenue RefOPmers.

The Washington Post of May 9th pub
fishes series of interviews with Carlisle,
Morrison, Hurd. Sunset Cox, Dorsheimer,
Slocum, Hewitt, Cassidy, Buckner, Low
ering, Holman, Watson, Thockmorton,
Mills, and other prominent revenue-re-
form congressman, insisting that it is the
duty Of the democratic national conven-
ton at Chicago to make clear and un-
equivocal declaration in favor Of tariff re-
form. The sentiment of the party is
overwhelmingly in favor of tariff for
revenue and the convention should SO
declare. II insist" said Hurd, ''that the
convention shall not only give voice to
the principles aimed at in the Morrison
bill, but it shall formally and empnati-
callY indorse the course pursued by the
supporters of that bill. want it clearly
defined whether it is posi- BILE to be both
democratic and protectionist. The decla-
ration of the convention will be SO clear
and bold that there will be nothing left
for democrats to do but indorse it or get
out of the party"
Mr.. Dorsheimer said: "New York
democrats are practically united in favor
of tariff for revenue only, and we are
not looking for any innovation; we don't
expect to be startled by any novel utter
ance from assembled delegates at Chica-
go. So far as 1 have observed the zeal of
revenue reformers in the house of repre-
sentatives has been itensified by the de-
feat of the Morrison bill. We take our
appeal to Chicago in full confidence that
the democrats who tried to reduce the
war tariff taxes will be sustained
the platform will fully meet our wishes
as regards the chief issue Of the cam
paign."
Mr.. Morrison said: Cali Illinois dem
ocrats are with me in desiring to reduce
tariff taxes; we all favor the central idea
of the old tariff plank, revenue tariff.
We care very little what words are en-
ployed to express the idea, SO that it is
stated clearly. Whether the convention
vention declares for tariff only for reve-
nue., as in 1876, or tariff for revenue only,
as in 1880, or adopt some other phrase Is
of little moment. We only ask and we
fully expect that the democratic doctrine
of tariff for revenue shall be put to the
front.
