A Mysterious Attack

PTrsBURG, Nov. 2s.-This morning,
about l O'Clock, Sam Britain, who had
been accustomed of late to sleep in the
Office of his son, a well known coal opera
tor, was awakened from his sleep by a
strange man near his bedside, who had a
revolver pointed at the old gentleman's
head. Britain asked what was wanted.
when the other fired, the bullet striking
Britain on the forehead but glanced and
produced but a slight wound. The two
men grappled with each other, when an
other shot was fired striking Britain on
the right arm. He fell and became insen-
sible, but was aroused later by a fire burn
ing him. He discovered the bed in
flames and managed to throw the bed
clothes out OF the window. This morn
ing, when the office was opened, he was
found lying on the floor in a pool of blood
and unconscious. The affair is shrouded
in mystery, no cause being known why
such assault should have been made.
Britain is 10 years old.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2s.- Only init
mate friends of the family we're admitted
to the parlor this afternoon, and tonight
the house was closed entirely to callers.
This evening kilograms were sent by Mrs.
Hendricks and Hon. Oscar Hord, Hen
bricks law partner. and chairman of the
committee on arrangements, to President
Cleveland, saying that while they would
be gratiied at his attendance, his failure
to come in the present condition of affairs
would not be considered at all disrespect-
full. The understanding here is that
President Cleveland, thus relieved of EN-
barrassment of staying away, will not
come.
DR.. Thompson, who attended Mr.. Hen
bricks, makes a formal denial this eve
ming that the vice president had only an
acute pain in the stomach and was bled to
death through the stupidity of his phys
ician.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-A consider
able number of senators, representatives
and public officials as well as many dis
tinguished citizens of Washington, have
called on the president to-day to g him
to reconsider his determination to attend
the funeral of the vice president. Their
argument was not that there would be
more than ordinary danger involved in
the proposed journey, but that the emer
gency is such that it is his duty to the
country to avoid every possible risk of ac-
cident to his life and health until congress
meets and the presidential succession is
provided for. Large numbers OF tele-
grams to the same effect have been pour
ing in upon the president to-day from
leading men in all sections of the country,
including one from Hon. Sam'l J. Tilden
and a number from distinguished friends
of the late vice president at indianapolis.
At a late hourthis afternoon the follow
ing was received from Hon. Mr.. Hord,
Mr.. Hendricks law partner and friend:
"ISDIANAPoLIs, Nov. 2s.- To the
Rresidnt-Mrs. Hendricks requests me to
thank you for your message Of sympathy
and also Miss Cleveland for her kind and
beautiful letter. She requests me to say
that your presence at the funeral of her
husband would be very grateful to her
feelings, but that she fully appreciates the
weighty public reasons that exist at this
time against your coming West, and begs
that you will be governed entirely by your
sense of public duty.
lSignedl 20. b. HoRD."
1t is understood the president has not
yet concluded to abandon the trip, al.
though he said to a caller to-day hat the
matter was being presented to him il
such a way and from such sources a,
might induce him, as a question of duty.

The Orangeburg Is. CO. Times and
Democrat utters the following sensible
words, TO which we invite the atten-
ton of all thoughtful people, espe-
cially newspaper men: ''Not week
passes but we could publish some hor-
rible story of crime and cruelty, but
out of the mass of matter at our dis
posal we prefer to omit all such, as
far as possible, and select something
else for our readers. No good is to
be accomplished by dishing up the
details of dark and devilish deeds,
and the fact that such is devoured so
voraciously should make the papers
pause. Perhaps their pandering to .
morbid taste tends mora to increasing
crime than anything else"

The impetus given to all forms of
labor by the threatened war between
England and Russia has in nowise
put q stop TO the progress ofagrarian
ideas In Great Britain. It has been
evident for some years that an agra
rian revolution, whether pacific or
hostile, was an immediate possibility
in England. The incomes of the
landed gentry have sunk with omin-
Gus rapidity, and even at curtailed
rents farmers cannot be found to till
the soil. Estates brought under the
hammer do not fetch third, and Of
ten not a fifth of the price set upon
them ten years ago. Indeed, the
plutocrats who used to snatch at the
chance of acquiring social Importance
through ownership of land now hold
scrupulously aloof from that species
of investment and much prefer the
acquisition of cattle ranches in Amer
lea. That Englishmen would demand
even more heroic treatment for their
land grievances than have been ap-
piled to Ireland can be readily be-
heved. The misfortunes which assail
Ireland have made the Englishman a
| philosopher. He is beginning to
trace cause and effect. When he sees
in a country so densely populated-as
England such vast areas of the ma
tional sod withdrawn from cultivation
to make parks and pleasure grounds
for arissocratic, sportsmen, the
thought occurs chat the cause of the
Irish is not so bad a one, after all,
and that the evils of which they com
plain assail his own threshold and
hearthstone. Rejecting, he recalls
wrongsso fragrant and so CALLING that
he is surprised that he has had the
patience to bear them. Through his
dull and cheerless brain these ideas
are working steadily if slowly, and
he sees in the minds of his fellows
I thoughts familiar to his own. Stel
by step he rises to the dignity of his
town rights, while the spirit of dis
content burns far and wide among
the people. 1t is not pleasant pros
pect thus opened for the landed arts
tocracy, and we may take for granted
that the. look upon the agrarian move
ment as fatal mine charged will
ruin and destruction and which vii
one day explode, carrying untolc
calamities in its train.

midas Value to England.

1t is certain that England win never
let go her hold on India as long as
she is able to FIRE gun. England
has received from India riches so
great that the amount would hardly
be acceptedas correct if it were made
known, but great as is the wealth she
has received she is promised far great
er in the near future. India is rapidly
becoming wonderful wheat growing
country. In few years she viii be
able to supply the English markets
with wheat. England depends largely
upon this country for her wheat now,
but she is gradually ceasing to look
for her wheat in this direction. Mr..
Thomas Fl. Dudley, who was United
States Consul at Liverpool during
Grants administration, says that in
1879 the wheat exported from India
amounted to 1,056, 720 cwt.; in 1881,
7,444, 375 cwts.; in 1882, 1901, OO5
cwts., while in 1883 it amounted to
over "A, 600, 900 of bushels of wheat,
more than half the quarter supplied
from the United States to England in
that year. Of this amount so export
ed from India, England took in 1883
20, 998, ITO bushels, other European
countries taking the balance.
In quality and yield Of -four this
India wheat is equal to the
best grown in the United States
British India, with a population o.
more than 253, 600, 900, has only about
10, 900 miles of railroad. There are
four districts three times as large al
the State of New York that have MOI
a mile of railroad in them. But THU
will soon all be changed. England
is taking steps to build railroads.
Labor can be had there for 10 cents
a day, making the cost Of cultivation
in India less than it can be reduced
to here by the best machinery.

The Effect Of the Whisky Tax.

It is claimed that the whisky tax
has been beneficial in that it has di-
minished the consumption of that
beverage and consequently aided the
cause of temperance. If this is SO,
it is the only case on record present
ing the anomaly of high taxation be-
ing a blessing. Statistics are repre-
scented as showing that ffty-fve NIL
lions of American people consumed
absolutely less quantity of spiritons
liquors for drink in 1884 than the
thirty-one millions of population con-
sumed in 1860.
This showing, however, is fallacious
as an indication of the effect of the
whisky tax in diminishing the amount
of liquor consumed, and as promoter
of temperance. The use of beer may
properly be credited with the COM
parative decline in the consumption
of whisky.
That beverage came into general
use about the time of the war, and
has increased so enormously that by
adding the percentage of alcohol that
beer contains to that of whisky and
other strong drinks, it will be found
chat the American people are taking
vastly more alcoholic stimulants than
they did before the whisky tax was
imposed. Whether getting fuddled
on beer is less injurious than getting
in the same condition on whisky, is
another question.

In noticing the retirement of Capt.
F. Y. Dabney from the position of
Chief Engineer and Superintendent
of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific Railroad, which took place on
the LIST inst, the Advance, published
at Arcadia, has this to say of that
able official and accomplished gentle
man:
"Capt. Dabney has filed his place
with marked ability during his term,
doing credit to both himself and the
Company. We were informed some
time since by a competent railroad
man that the Erlanger Syndicate saw
ed many thousand dollars by the good
judgment of Capt. Dabney, in locat-
ing the road-bed of the v, S. and P.
r. R., as his survey required much
less work than any previous survey
made by more noted engineers; in
fact, the gentleman referred to, said
if the Syndicate were to retire Capt.
Dabney on a pension of $1,000 per
annum for fifty years that they would
still he ahead of previous surveys and
estimates, in the cost of building the
road. Capt Dabney has won many
friends throughout this section, who
will regret that his Ill health has
caused his retirement from duty
With him, he takes the best wishes
of the Advance, who viii be glad,
soon to record his complete restora-
ton to health. This country cannot
afford to lose as able man from any
calling, and if there were a few con-
scious men like Capt. Dabney to en-.
gineer the work on the levees along
the rivers there would be less public
money squandered and some protec-
ton offered the people for the money
spent"

The Spanish government is great
ly troubled by the spread of
Republican sentiment throughout
Spain. Republican literature, which
seeks to excite the people against all
dynastic rulershlp by pointing to the
greater freedom and higher average
of prosperity enjoyed by the French,
the Swiss, and above all by the Amer
leans, is scattered abroad with a lib
eral hand. Every public calamity is
utilized to point the moral that the
people would be abundantly able to
relieve their own distress if it were
not for the sums wrung from them
in taxes to support the grandeur of
royalty. The royal bounty given to
the sufferers by the late earthquakes
is spoken of as but 1.-THE of what
belonged to the people anyway, and
the pending epidemic of cholera is
referred to as a quite avoidable
scourgeh the people had not been too
far impoverished by kingly exactions
to establish proper sanitary precau-
tons. It is said and believed that
this literature emanates chiefly from
London.
