A Protest from the New Orleans
Produce Exchange.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 2l-The pro-
dude exchange this evening adopted
resolutions to the effect that they learn
with astonishment Gnd alarm that the
collector Of the port of New York has
recommended to the secretary Of the
treasury to permit the introduction Of
broken rice at 20 per cent. ad valorem,
as follows:
Resolved, That as represent tatives
of the producers and dealers in do
mestic rice in the State Of Louisiana,
we protest against such evasion Of ex.
listing tariff laws.
Resolved, That we declare broken
rice as imported to be pure
unmanufactured rice, protected by
a specific rate Of duty. The
whole Of foreign rice imported could
be easily broken in pounding to clear
it, II admitted almost free Of duty.
Resolved, That we respectfully urge
the secretary Of the treasury to pro-
tect the producer and revenues Of the
treasury of the government from such
construction of existing laws.
The sugar exchange also adopted a
series of resolutions on the same sub
ject, including the following:
Resolved, That we consider such con
struction Of the tariff to be a violation
of its intent and are persuaded that
such decision would conduce to The
abandonment of rice cultivation on thu
American continent.
Resolved, That the decision already
made by Mr.. Fairchild, acting secre
tary of the treasury, be formally pre-
sented to Mr.. Manning, with our re-
commendation that it be adopted By
him and made final as to the matter il
controversy.

Butte City Inter-Mountain.
Yesterday a Chinese store-keeper
who kept silk handkerchiefs for sale
was induced to sell one for 80 cents

"How much did you make on this

made.
"Oh, 80 cents" he replied.
"But how can you make 80 cents
when that is all you get for itp"
"Oh, me steal um," cody said the

A Drunken Woman DecapItates a
Female RelatiVs. M
louisville, Sept. 2l.-A horrible
tragedy occurred last evening at Silver
creek, a mining village eight miles
east of the city. Patrick O'Neill and
his wife, Sarah, lived with an old wo-
man named Betty Keefe. The man,
and wife had constant quarrels and
Mrs. O'Neill blamed the old woman
who was her husbands aunt for being
the instigator of the domestic
troubles. Yesterday was an occasion
of general carousal and disturbance
at Silver Creek, and in the evening the
bulk of its people were drawn to one
end of the village by a row. Old Mrs,
Keefe was In bed and Mrs. O'Neill
taking advantage of the opportunity
dragged the old woman to the floor
and severed her head from her body
with an axe. Mrs. O'Neill was drunk
at the time and when arrested did not
deny the crime. She was lodged in
iail here.

THE voters should carefully weigh
all the information they can get on the
subject and then decide for themselves
for, or against the shops. If they
know certain leading citizens have
personal motives in advocating or op-
posing the shops, they should bear
that fact in mind.
We give this advice because it has
been publicly limited, that this journal
is not expressing its own opinion on
the subject, but has in some way been
influenced. We state most posi-
lively and frankly that those,
who have circulated such asser-
tions are wholly mistaken, but
we are willing for the voters to
take into their consideration the ques-
tion of motives.
We regret it exceedingly if the loca-
tion Of the shops here will injure Mr..
Spengler's sawmill aid factory inter-
ests, and we don't blame him for op-
posing them, if he entertains that
opinion. Nor do we blame any citi-
zen, if he thinks his private interests
would suffer. Nor do we blame
any citizen if he is opposing
the shops as an attorney for fee, but
we dc object to these people calling
into question the motives of this
journal, which has always used its
best judgment to promote the public
good.
The voters must now decide the
question for themselves, bearing in
mind, that the anti-shop people may
have personal motives, as well as other
people.
Before the election we shall give our
reasons why we think there is much
less risk in voing for the shops
than against them, and we have o
motive bat the public good.

The English Press on the Situation
in RoumeIia.
LONDON, Sept. 2l-The Standard
commenting on the rising in Eastern
Roumelia, says: "We cannot believe
the powers interested were ignorant of
what was coming. If they were the
gravest trouble may arise. England
has only the faintest interest, while
Austria and Germany are bound to
cooperate in keeping the Berlin treaty
intact. and 1t remains to be seen how
it will affect Russia. If the treaty
powers are acting in concert, the Sultan
is helpless"

THE LAW INDICATED.

The Supreme Court last Monday
delivered its decision in the case
OF Thomas J. Ford ct ais, and sus
tanned the lower court OIL every
point OF the many exceptions tax
en-, thus affirming the verdict of the
jury. The public have awaited
with great anxiety the final decree
i'll this important case, as they con
sidered that upon il, to Il very large
extent. depended the future pros
pelity of u city.
The crime with which the prison
ers were charged was one Of ex
traordinary atrocity and committed
in apparent defiance of the law and
wanton disregard Of public senti
rnent. Indeed, it attracted atten
ton throughout the country, and
the trial was one OF the most noted
ever had III this city. 1t required
the utmost vigilance to secure a
fair trial Of the case, and a verdict
could only be secured on the second
trial. The two judges OF the Crimi
nal Court sat en- banc during the til
ais and were very careful in al
their rulings.
Ii, after all the etfolts that were
made, the law conld not be vindica
ted, the majority of our citizens
would have concluded that a resort
to other methods would be imperi
lively necessary to protect the com
munity. 1t was not a question Of
Furnishing individuals, but of vindi
eating society and maintaining the
reputation of the State. 1t was not
a question as to whether the right
men were most severely punished
thereby, but whether, under our
criminal court system, any one
could be punished who had a back
ing of political influence. That
point beng we'll settled. it will
have a salu1ary effect, and, we hope,
pave the way to a better state CT

From information, obtained from
exchanges, throughout tue State Of
Louisiana, it is safe to infer that
the agricultural yield, the present
summer and approaching autumn,
will be ample and remunerative.
Irish potatoes and onions are
yielding finely and have, so far,
been bringing fair prices to the
grower. Fruit will be probably
more abundant than it has been
for many years, and although it is
not expected to bring much reve
nue., yet it enters largely into the
daily food OF the people during it's
continuance aud thereby diminish

Rice is growing nicely ; and pres

will be continued, from the water
in the river, until that cereal will
be matured.

Mr.. James Brannan, Second avenue

tors in this city, and n of them finally
assured me | was not long for this world.
and advised me to write - my friends
about it. I next went to DIR. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said. he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA. and I have now
been entirely we'll for several weeks, and
never felt better in my life, though I am
still taking his PERUNA. / will take il

Mr.. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes
II have suffered intensely from piles and
chronic diarrhea. l was treated by five
of the best physicians and surgeons in
the city Of Pittsburgh. and with all grew
constantly worse. Finally three Of them
said my only hope was an operation.

ately to DR.. Hartman, who has entirely
cured me with PERUNA. / have been at

the continued illness OF First Assis

ment between two prominent Dem
ocrdtic sojourners in the public
room OF their hotel lastweek.. Don
N. Dickinson, the Michigan member
OF the DemocraticN National Commit
tee, ran agiust John II. Ober!y,
chairman OF the Illinois Democrat
ic State Committee.
"How 10 you pronounce the
name OF the man who goes to Rus
sia", inquired Mr.. Ooerly sarcastic
ally, ''Lathrop or Lothrop q
Mr.. Dickinson did not reply.
'Ihey say he hadn't voted "a Dem
ocratic ticket in five years"-lhls
from Mr.. Oceriy again.
"Iou will learn more Of Mich
gan e and how to pronounce
their names If you live longer,
was Mr. Dickinson's quiet reply.
"Y a-a 81 ;drawled Oberly, shut
who are the Democratic Senators
from Michigan, any Way :"
Thirty thousand Democratic
majority in Republican Michigan is
our Senator and our ''God bless
you to the President -" said Mr.
Dickinson warmly. "When we
have an election ia Michigan our
committeeman are found in the
State and in Washington. When
an election is to be held in Mich

Mr.. OterIy walked away and has
not inquired further concerning the
pronunciation Of tue Russian Min

So Tong ago as the memory Of
most Democrats now living extends
the Cry of their party when out OF

its practice, when in power, has for
the most part been in the line of its
professions. Now it has been dis
covered, by Mr.. Mannlngand others
high in authority. and will continue
to be discovered the more they 10
vestigate the matter, that the work
ing force of some of the depart

and that much money has al
been expended ever since
