Debt in Nrex.co.

from me Ae1o l0Fh 1FtOWNes .r.
Getting into debt in Mexico is a serious
business. II a debtor is unable to pay on the
day his debt is due ne is arrested and chained
20 post for five days. Then an officer looks
at him TO see if this punishment has enabled
him TO pay the debt. OF course II hasn't, and
SO the debtors labor is sold 10 the government
for 10 cents a day until the obligation
IS discharged. The government sends
a silver mine, aud he does not see the
light again until his debt is discharged. All
this is harsh enough. but there are compensa-
ttOns II a debtor should provoke his creditor
To Eight duel amt should Kill him. he would
not be considered guilty Of murder, and
would escape any punishment for the deed.

The Hotel Register is keeping up
sharp fight against the custom Of feeling
walters. 1t seems 10 be almost hope
cessful in the future, for many people of
moderate means now avoid the best hotels

1t is not uncommon for the papers in
various localities where a selection for an
important Office has been made to say
something very complimentary about one
or more of the unsuccessful applicants
FOR the office. 1t is generally said that
the services Of these disappointed Office
seekers to the party are fully understood,
and that, doubtless, in due time they Will
be suitably rewarded.
1t would really he an excellent thing
for the people Of every community if the
idea could be got rid of that particular
men have claims on the Offices on account
of political services. As general rule
those who push themselves to the front,
and pretend that they have claims on this
or that office because they have devoted
some little attention to local politics, are
wholly unfit to serve the people in any
capacity. In many instances the services
of which they make such a parade were
not valuable from any point OF view, and
in other instances they were rendered not
from patriotic motives, or for the purpose
of helping the party to victory, but for a
purely selfish object.
If man is good citizen and a sincere
believer in the principles of his party he
does what he can to promote his party's
success without any hope or expectation
of reward. He does not pretend that the
party owes him something for doing what
his duty and inclination led him to do.
He may accept an office but he does not
accept il because he thinks that he should
be paid for party services.
The offices belong to the people, and no
man has any claim on any one of them
They ought to be filled by those who are
best fitted to administer them. While q
few would like to see personal friends or
relatives favored the people generally
want good service. All of the important
| offices ought, Of course, to be filled by
those in sympathy with the party in
/ power, because without harmonious ac-
ton it is impossible to carry out reforms,
and administer the government as il
should be administered. Whenever 1t
can be done without violating any law
the minor places should be given TO those
who are in sympathy with the ruling
party.
But this, however, has nothing 70 do
with what we condemn, viz, that because
man has been active at political meet
ings, has stood around the polls and
worked for his party ticket, and has done
his share of treating voters he should be
given an office simply because he has
done these things whether he is fitted to
discharge its duties or not.

THE NATIONAL WOOL GROWERS.
They Meet in National Convention at s
Louis.

They Meet in National Convention at st.
Louis.
The annual convention of the National
Wool Growers association met at st. Louis.
1t was presided over by the president, Hon.
Columbus Delano, of Ohio. Speeches were
made by Jerome Hill, president of the Cot
ton Exchange; Geo. W. Allen, acting may
or of the city; Gen. w. T. Sherman and
President Delano. The secretary's report
was read and adopted. Officers for the en-
suing year were elected by acclamation, as
follows: Columbus Delano, president; Al
bert Chapman, secretary; G. H. Bell, treas
urer.
The following executive committee was
also elected: l. H. Pray, of New York; E.
Bronson, of Kansas; A. Sims, of Texas.
Colonel Coleman, commissioner OF agri-
culture, who was present, was called on for
speech, and responded by saying that the
department O. agriculture would use every
honorable means to encourage the enter.
prise of the wool growers OF the country.
An Investigation had already been made
by the department on various subjects in
connection with wool growing and the re-
ports should soon be published. Efforts
will also be made to eradicate the various
diseases which are so destructive to sheep
Several resolutions were offered and re-
ferred to the committee on resOlunOns
Chapman, of Vermont, Wallace, of Mis-
souri,, Congressman Converse, of Ohio, and
others were in favor of a protective tariff
for wool. Vernon, of Texas. said the Unit
ed States could grow better wool than
Northern Australia, and would soon COM
pete with Southern Australia.
Resolutions were adopted demanding the
restoration of the wool tariff of 1867. They
recite that since the alteration in the i'm
port during 1883, 500, ,OOO,O 600 has been lost
to the wool-growers of America in lower
prices alone, saying nothing of the depre-
citation in the value of focks. These fig
ures are based on q comparison with the
prices of 1882 It is set forth that if the
tariff is not restored, the sheep husbandry
of the country must be abandoned.
A confederation among the American
producers is recommended to educate the
people to the necessity of preserving suit
able state of legislation. The association
declares it will support such men es are in
favor of protection to the wool interests.
The executive COMMITTEES has been ordered
to meet at Washington at the next session
of Congress.

THRILLING TRIP.
A Train in Charge of q Madman Arrives In
Chicago.

Train in Charge of Madman Arrives in
Chicago.
Passenger train No. 6, on the Wabash, St..
Louis & Pacific railway, arrived at Chicago
an hour and half late, in charge of mad
man. Out of the twelve or fifteen men, Of
fcers and citizens, who finally secured him.
one officer is dead, shot through the body,
another probably fatally wounded, several
citizens injured. and the lunatic himself
lies in the county hospital mortally
wounded, with three bullets in him.
Shortly before noon to-day the station
policeman at the Wabash depot on Polk
street, received the following dispatch:
CHENoA, ILL., June 6.

Jacksonville and Peoria were ali afraid to take
him. Please send ten or twelve policemen out
on No. to take him when we arrive in Chicago
They had better come In citizens clothes. They
will have to look sharp or some one will get hurt
tSigned] PUTNAM, Conductor.
No. 6, which left Kansas City last night,
was due here at ESQ p. m. There was diff
Guilty in starting out No. 1, as directed in
train at the depot. Officers Casey, Ryan,
Murphy, Rowan, Walsh, Stremming,
Dohney, Barrett and keenan,, in uniform,
and Smith, Terry, Amstein, O'Brien and
Laughlin, in citizens clothes, under the
command of Lieutenant Lough, made up
the equad which arrived at the depot ten
minutes before the train was due. The
train being delayed, as was subsequently
learned by Intellectual efforts to capture the
lunatic, the police were forced to wait more
than an hour. After considerable anxious
speculation as to the condition of things on
board No. 6, the off GERS were finally ary-
thing but reassured by q dispatch from >
suburban station, warning them that the
maniac Was wen armed and would resist
desperately. A little later No. appeared
in sight, and the police, separating so as to
form two squads, awaited her arrival on
either side of the track. As the train ap-
preached the whistle sounded . number Of
warning notesi in quick succession. People
hanged half way out of the car windows
and were seen to be ges;iculating wildly TO
the crowd. Before the train had come to .
standstill dozen passengers jumped to the
ground and fed, looking back with blaHch-
ed faces.
Oficer Barrett was the first to observe the
lunatic. Barrett was standing near the
rear end of the smoking car. The madman
with leveled retolver glared at him from
the front platform of the chair car, the
length of one car distant. Barrett turned
half round and stopped instantly, but too
late. A ball from the lunstic's revolver
struck him in the side and in five minutes
he was dead.
One look at the lunatic was enough to
satisfy one that while his ammunition
lasted he would not be taken alive. Seeing
this the oficers. after removing their
wounded comrade, began fnsilade through
the windows of the smoking car, where the
msdmaD had taken refuge. After . min

ute or two he plunged out on the platform,
fired couple of shots into the crowd. leap
ed from the t-ain and dashed down Fourth
avenue.
Officer Laughlin started in hot pursuit
and at him the luustic fired the last shot
in his weapon, but without effect. The,
maniSc stopped and then awaited Laugh
Inns coming with cleaning eyes and froth-
ing mouth. They clinched. The oficsr
tripped his prisoner and they both fell, the
maniac meanwhile beating Laughlin un-.
mercifully on the head with his revolver.
The officer was III citizens clothes and was
set upon and terribly pounded by an ex-
cited colOred man who mistook him for
the plis ,ner.
Che rest of the squad arrived shortly.
The maniac was secured and taken first to-
a cell and then to the hospital to have his
wounds dressed. When he realized that
further resistance was useless the prisoner
grew calm. and said quite nationally that
his Dame was Louis Reume. that he was 33-
years old, and was en- route to his home in
Detroit from Denver.
The trainmen of No. tell thrilling
story of the trip from Kansas City. When,
the man boarded the train at that place, he
remarked that people were after him to
lynch him and that if left alone he would
modest no one. At Ell Paso, ILL.,, he became
violent. and with revolver in hand, order
ed the trainmen to cease making some
changes in the makeup of the train.
The passengers all left the chair car,
which the madman made his headquarters,
and were locked into the others. No one
dared approach the lunatic, and after he
had exchanged shots with the city marshal,
he ordered the train to proceed, and from.
there to Chicago his will was the only law
obeyed.
Since his wounds have been dressed
Reume has become somewhat more COM
municative. He says he is French Cana
dian by birth and fresco painter by trade,
and has q wife and three children in De-
troit. He wrote q white sombrero, and ss.
he ran down Fourth avenue was thought by
the residents to be cowboy on Q spree. As
the train on which he arrived was passing
slowly through the outskirts of the city q
man by the name of Spruck jumped aboard
the platform where the maniac stood.
Reume Immediately blszed away with his
revolver, q ball just grazing Spi iuck's chin
and taking button from his coat. Spruck
stepped off and waited for another train.
In the fight at the depot the maniac re-
loaded ss fsst as his weapon vas emptied,
and altogether more than 150 shots were
fred.

recognition. The greatest excitements pre-
vail in the settlements of the Gila. No
Indians have been killed or captured since
the outbreak. Gen. Cook is on his way to
relieve Gen. Bradley of the command OF
the soldiers. Miners and ranchmen are
coming in from all directions. Much dis.
satisfaction is expressed concerning the &C.
ton of the troops. Reports from Lake
Valley, N. NJ, state that band of about
forty indians came in sight of that settle
ment. The cit zens armed themselves and
went out to hold them in check. The In
dians finally moved off before any action
was had.
The report has reached Silver City N NJ,
that small detachment of the Tenth Cav
airy encountered Chief Geronimo and hie
band of Apaches near that place. The In.
dians were endeavoring to escape to Mex
leo.
The hostiles were driven back with the
loss of four killed, and twice as many
wounded. Two soldiers were killed and
eight wounded. Owing to the email num-
Der of troops, the Indians were not pur-
sued. The detachment is trying to eff ct
q junction with two companies of the
Fourth Cavalry, when at active pursuit
will be made.
The Apaches have been Joined by num-
Der of Utes and Nsvsjoes. The band is
composed of nearly 200 warriors. The In
dians retreated towards Deamon creek,
where the women numbering nearly 100,
had preceded them.
A special to Denver paper from Silver
City says the Apaches are making bloody
trail through that section. It is now
thought three or four different bands are
depredating and numbering in as many
sections of the territory. The hostiles ap-
parently number about three hundred.
Four chiefs are with them; Geronimo,
Naha, Nateteha and chihuahua. The
corp: es OF Mexican and his wife and three
children were found five miles from there
Another Mexican is known to have been
killed in the same vicinity, and his COM
panion badly wounded. It is reported that

The Indians trail was followed from there
to the Pecos Atlas foot hills. The Indi-
ans approached within four miles of
Fort Bayard Three troops of cavalry
are now in pursuit. 1t is reported that the
Indians are doubling back on the old trail
in the direction of Bear creek. This band
numbers about eighty. Another band on
