Hill, Secretary Of the American Shippinp
and Industrial League with ii Taylor G tuse

most significant reasons should elicit clos
reflection in connection with the cords o.
certain legislation in Washington dnrin.; TIL.
past two sessions npoa this exact question
in which buth Senator Gray and the Hon.
Charles b. lore took we.l ii ud and or
posed action.
Mr.. Hill says ia his letter: Is is not a
want of demand for trade, for that demand
exists. 1t is the neces' ty for shipsrstenance
by patronage Of shtpl- rs on the home az
well as United 5 ates exporters, tnat is es-

BY cheap transportation and cheap transpnr
tation cannot be effected rxcrpt by mileage
bounty. Call it snhvcution, subsidy, pos
tai pay, or any Of other terms in the English
language such are the cause aud result"
The above are not alone the sentiments
clearly expressed over and over again by Mr..
Lore in the recent Congressional debate up
On the $780, 600 Postal appropriation, but
they are almost that geutlcman's woids. All
this is only too well known and remembered
| simultaneously with the fact Of the Hon.
George Gray's persistent opposition to a sub

Ecsry Ecening, in endorsing Senator Gray's
action, telmed it "subs dy.''

pattison and the Coal Monopoly.

II
Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania has
doughty heart to essay such fearful oaSte
as that one with coal monopolists. 1t is true
he is backed by the decisions of the Supreme
Court of his own State and those OF the
Supreme Court of the State of Ohio he
stands firmly on moral grounds, on justice
and right but we fear there is still very little
possibility of success though the chief magi-
strate of the Commonwealth is himself the
standard bearer Of the people.
The war is one of tie Cyolops. TIE arena
is that of the whole country from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, the whole nation is breath
lessly watching the strife. The cause is tb'
glorious one of Liberty from asinister thrall-
dom that pinches the already poverty strick-
en- homes of the masses and makes them th'
abode of squalor and misery. On one sid
of the arena watching this fight of the giants
are ranged the representatives OF sordid
monopoly their callous features showing
slight alarm that the first citizen of the great
State of Pennsylvania should be found op-
posed to them. They cbuckle in supposed
security entrenched as they are in cheUauT
dc friss of moneybags and antique charter,
and glover in disdain at the thousands and
thousands of citizens ranged in overwhelm-
ing crowds intently watching every move
ment of their enemies.
The Importance Of this battle is not limit
ed to its own individual issue. Its results
will permeate not only the coal monopoly
question or the State of Pennsylvania but It's
rulings will affect the status of all monopo
lies throughout the Republic.
1t is to be regretted that the recent at
tempt by certain patriotic gentlemen in Con
,press to compel members of that body t.
give up the paid service of monopoies while
holding congressional service as representa-
tves of the people was unsuccessful. Had
this measure passed the noble work of the va.
liant governor of Pennsylvania would moi
now be found SO fficult ofaccomplishment
Any measure of success is however ques'
tionable when the Senators in Congress ano
Acknowledgement of States are the paid sell
wants of those monopolies.
In Delaware, for instance Senator Gray il

1t has been stated that that road holds {

An ANONYMOUS document addressed

An anonymous document addressed to
the senate and house of representatives
is being industrieusly circulated in Wash
ington just now, says the New York Star
1t is called memorial" and the burden
of its argument is that the federal govern
ment ought to pay all the repudlated
debts OF the states. The proposition is
advanced that national honor demands
this action; that national credit necessi-
tates it. A narrowing picture is drawn of
the United States begging from door to
door in time of need, and being repulsed
with obIiguy by the money centers of the
world unless those debts are rehabilitsted.
The confectioners of this balmy document
adopt remarkable line of reasoning
They insist that because $77, 000, 900 are TO
be appropriated in aid of education and
$3.50, 900, 900 for the navy and coast de
lenses. TO say nothing of $500, 000, 900 or
$500, 900, 900 for pensions and innumera-
BILE other millions for more or less legiti>
mate purposes. it follows shat the coun-
try might as well pay the 100000 900
which twelve of the thirty-eight states of
the union have refused to pay. And the
country is warned that, unless these re-
pudiated millions are at once recognized
and discharged by the general govern
ment, financial dishonor and material
disaster will be our portion for evermore.
After ALL it is not so certain that congress
has not just as much right to pay the re
pudiated debts of the states as to donate
$77, 900, 900 toward the support of state
schools.

OR-Atrocious Affair All Round.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 2a-Last Saturday
the wife of Jacob freimuth, homesteader
in Seward county, was cruelty murdered
and outraged by Fritz Rupin, a half-witted
German, who was dragged to death later.
Rupin had for some time been enjoying the
hospitality of Freimuths He was homeless
and without friends, and they had taken
him in until he could find work. On the day
mentioned, during the temporary absence
of Mr. Freimuth, Rupin overpowered his
ben factors wife and brutally outraged her
person Not content with this, he bound
the lady hand and foot and cut her throat
from ear to ear The brute then secured an old
rusty hoe, and while the wo nan wasyet
wrilhing in the death struggle he disen-
boweled her with the blunt instrument
Mrs Frelmuth was enceinte, and when dis
covered sie unborn bale lay few feet from
the boiy of the mother cut In two
Mr. freimuth returned Sunday, and when
he discovered the mutiiated body
of his wife be became raw
ing maniac A neighbor in that
sparse!y settled region happened to be pass
ing that way shortly after II O'Clock, and
found him wild with frenzy, Tut dared not
approach for fear Of his personal safety.
He rode rapidly to settlement some eight
miles distant and told the terrible tala A
party was at once organized and they re-
turned to the scene of ths outrage and found
Freimuth weltering in his own blood. He
had killed himself with a shotgun. A
grave was dug AMI the remains OF the
unfortunate people were buried
The posse then set out to scour the
country for the murderer, and found
him secreted in a small ravine several miles
away from the scene of his crime, near the
Cimarron river Some speculation was in
dulged in as to the proper method o. Riding
the world of him, but not much time was
consumed in celebrating. A fractions and
spirited horse was secured and saddled One
end of the long lariat was then
fastened around kupins neck and the
other extremity was attached to the
pommel Of the saddle The horse was
then started, and amid the shouting OF the
men and crack of the revolvers and rifles
the frightened animal tore madly away
After a run of nearly five miles the beast
fell exhausted, and the liieless body of the
murderer was loosened as soon as the men
came up. The lariat had drawn so tight
that his head was almost severed from his
tody. The features showed that he had
died terrific death The body was left
lying on the prairie uncovered
