New YORK, Oct 25.--At the ma
tional convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers to-
day the discussion of ways and
means for reducing the assessment
in the insurance association was car
ried on with the result of discover
ing general belief that the benefits
were too large. Now brother los
ing limb or arm, his sight or hear
ing, receives $4,000 and in case of
his death his representative gets that
amount. The assessmen IS have ag-
gregated in the past year $50 per
capita and the men say this is more
than they can afford. The eonven-
ton goes on.

Strange Condition of Affairs

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--The ac-
counts of the marshals and district
attorneys sent to the first comptrol-
ler's office, show a strange condition
of affairs in the Southern district of
Alabama. The fees of the United
States commissioners, district attor-
neys, etc, for the prosecution Of ne
groes for cutting timber from the
government land and other offenses
against the statutes amounted to
about 1925, 900, and there is no APP
parent good resulting from the pros
ecutions. The offenders are seldom
convicted and still more seldom pun
ished. The treasury officials think
the deprcdations are encouraged for
the sake Of the fees they afford the
prosecutors A letter to this effect
was written Co Land Commissioner
Sparks by Deputy First Comptroller
Garrison, and the land office and
Commissioner Sparks has assured
the treasury officials of his determi-
nation to prevent sham prosecutions.

Senator Sherman I'm PhiIn-
delphia.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2T.-Senatol
John Sherman addressed large
audience at he Academy of Music
tonight under the auspices of the
Young Republican Club. He said
"There are at this moment two great
controlling facts IN American poll
tics. One is the imminent danger
| that now threatens the overthrow OF
the economic and industrial policy
built up by the republican party,
and second, the complete success of
what is known rs the Mississippi
plan, by which more than one mil
lion of the legal voters of this coun-
try have been deprived of all the
rights conferred upon them by the
constitution and the law, especially
the right to vote"
Referring to internal revenue tax
alton, Mr.. Sherman said "Whenev-
er there is public demand and q
public necessity for relieving those
taxes, am willing to join my demo
cratic friends in repeating them. If
the people of this country can get
along without any system of internal
taxation, l will be very willing to
admit it, but the reason why these
taxes are maintained is very plain.
First, as to these taxes on whiskey,
tobacco and beer, the people who
consume those articles feel so good
that they do not care anything at all
about the taxation. Then, another
reasonN is that they are so easily col
lected. 1t costs very little to collect
them, and the extent Of the con-
sumption of those articles brings to
the government q large revenue. If
the people who consume those arti-
Giles do not wish to pay taxes on
them to the national government, all
they have to do is to let whiskey,
tobacco and beer alonen
Mr.. Sherman then proceeded to
discuss the tariff and defended the
protective policy of the republican
party. He then referred TO the solid
South, which he termed 'the great.
nightmare of American politics ~
to the election for President in 1876,
justifying the action of the Lonisi-
ana and South Carolina returning
boards, declaring that one million of
black voters were DISTINGUISHED in
the Southern States, and that thirty
congressional districts in the South,
containing majority of black voters
were represented by Congressman
who did not represent those constit-
uencies. He stated that the basis
upon which the democratic party
rested was the fulcrum of the solid
South and the free-trade city of New
York and that the negroes of the
South were in condition Of semi
servitude, compelled to work for IS
cents day in competition with the
white labor of the North, from which
condition the success of the republi-
can party could alone rescue them.

T6 prove that the fools are not, all dead

asgetting any cattlemen To- put their
