MASKED ROBBERS
At BelIeviIIe, HI.-A Farmer and
Hired Man Robbed.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, September 16.-A
daring robbery was committed ear y
yesterday morning near Centerville
station, Ill, the victims being 10, eph
Bluff, a well known farmer, and his
employee. named PALMER. About 8
o'clock in the morning they started
from the house to the barn, on Bluffs
farm, to hi CHI a team to a wagon of
cabbage, which they were to bring to
this city. As they approached the
stables four masked men sprsng out
from their place Of concealment aud
presented revolveis at their heads, at
the same time cautioniDg them to
make no resistance. The robbers then
ordered them to reveal the hiding
place OF their money. The fir ghtened
victims did 81, and the robbaIs, after
gagping them, led them back TO the
house. On entering Bluff was taken
TO a bureau in n room where he had
hidden $50. This the robbers took and
then proceeded with Palmer to the lat
ter's room, where they secured $35.
They then left the house, after warn
ing Bluff and PALMER not to attempt
to pursue them, as they would be
killed. The Ia ter were too badly
frightened to do anything and the
masked desperadces escaped. Bluff
went Immediately to B~elleville, ILL.,,
where he informed the authorities of
the robbery. The description which
he gave of the robbers tallies exactly
with that given by Mr.. Furber OF the
men who relieved him about a month
ago of $500 in almost precisely the
same manner. 1t is thought thai
both crimes were committed by the
same men,

The more the game seems to tend in

nopolitsn which we have pub

matter than she has bsen given credit
for. She has taken posse ssion OF an
island in the Egean sea over which
Turkey has claims, and Turkey is de-

is diplomacy again. II England is

Russia, that asks the question-why ?
Turkey owes Russia vast sums for in

resrs. When Russia wants to inlu-
ence Turkey that country is frightened
by almost threatening demands to pay
up. Such demands have been re-
ported since the Bulgarian trouble be-

demands made by it on the English
Foreign Office are just like the Ru san

GENEROsITY no THE SOUTH.


Because the Blair bill distributes
more money in the South than the
North, the Republicans use their sup
port Of this cas- as evidence OF
their liberality and generosity toward
the South but the truth Is If the whole
seventy millions provided for in the
Blair bill should be distributed in the
Southern States it would not equal the
appropriations which the North has
received by many millions of dollars.
Spc6ord'S american Almanac show VS.
that while the Southern States have
received only 1885, 51 acres to aid in
building railroads, the Northern
States have received 32,4SS, SO6-or
2~0,l23,455 acres more than the South.
For like purposes one nominally
Southern corporation hes received
9,520,000 acres, where Northern col
porstions have had 1876, BAL ,000-or
100, ~ 900 acres more than the South.
The North has got 4,405, 9S6 acres for
canals; the South has got more for
such works. For rivers, harbors, ca
male, roads, railroads and internal inn
provements generally in the North, the
Federal government has contributed
$59,66l ,0l0; for like purposes in the
South, only 500, 259, 473- or $S7,4O1, 537
less. No government bonds have
been issued 10 any Southern railroad,
while to Northern railroads the gov
eminent has issued its bonds to the
enormous amount Of S7S, 926, 1872. Our
gull and sea coast is at least as extern
sive as that OF the Northern States, yet
for the various lighthouses, navy
yards, Notifications, etc, constructed
in the two sections Qncludjng ar
senals and Hospitality, the North has
received in cash from the Treasury
$136, IA, SIS, and the South but $72,-
554, 906 OR $64,2l9,6l2 less. Turning
to the special matter in which "men-
delaney" is alleged against the South,
If it ask or accept the appro.
pria,ions Of the Blair school bill,
We find that the Southern States
have received but 6,434,446 acres of
the public lands for their free schools,
while for their schools the Northern
States have got 70,2l3,534 acres-or
63,779,0SS ares more than the South
ern States! In fact, the North has al
ready received eleven times more for free
school purposes alone from The Federal
government than The South. The Blair
bill is a dead issue in the future as
there will be no surplus in the Treas
ury to appropriate to educational pur-
poses. But while the Republicans are
haunting the South with their liberal
ity toward the mendicants II is proper
to show what the government has
done for the North.

Thousand.


INDIANAPOLIS, IND, September 10
The National Assembly of Miners and
Mine Workers began session here to.
day. The session was spent in l~ietening
to reports and redistricting the coun-
try. Master Workman Bailey deliv-
cred an address in which he detailed
the history of the organization, its
growth and purposes. 1t is intended
to unite In one organization the
miners of the country, and the
membership is stated as being
about $4,000. The control is
vested in district assemblies,
subordinate to the National Assembly,
and the whole to the general govern
ment of the Knights Of Labor. II is
expected TO ultimately increase the
membership to 100000. Among other
matters to be considered il a plan for
securing to miners a proportiCnate
share OF the advance in the price OF
Anthracite coal, which the public is
compelled to pay every year on the
approach of cold weather.

this afternoon in the presence of
about sixty persons, who paid $40
each to see the mill. Twenty-.wo
rounds were fought in one hour and
thirty minutee, the fight being awarded
to Carroll, who mausged to get in the
last blow. At the flush they looked
like a couple of fighting cocks alter a
hard battle, houndering around the
ring, neither having strength enough
to make a square hit. The fight took
place in a ring formed of the three
sides of a room, with a rope stretched
across the fourth tide, giving the men
about twenty-eight feet of leewsy to
fight in.

OPP

The trouble about Bulgaria hes
brought about some change in the at.
titude OF Austria. 1t was moving IN
connection with Germany and Russia,
but it has discovered that its own pos
sessions will be in danger If Russia is
to be master and occupant OF Bulgaria.
We find now, therefore, assurances
given by the powers, including Russia,
that there shall be no military occupa-
ton Of Bulgaria. The assurance is a
solemn farce. With Russia debating
who shall hold Office in Bulgaria, and
with Russian officers in the Bulgarian
army, Russia has that country in its
own hands, and will send its military
there when a pretense offers for 80
doing. This will keep Austria on the
watch, and Turkey is looking hard in
the same direction. Parleyings are
now going on, but there appears little
chance of any effective check being
put to Ru'sii. The English are NOR
tilted at the advances Russia is max
ing in the Balkans, but PROCESSES that
it is no affair Of theirs. An English
journal now before us says: 1.-THE
interests OF this country in the Balkan
Peninsula are not nearly 80 vi
tai as they were, and we
shall not now, as we orcs
might have done, head a European
coalition against the Gar. II Russia
is to be opposed, Germany and Austria
must lesd the way, 1t is far more
necessary to them than to us that
Russia lhould be kept from the power
OF controlling the waterway from the
Black sea 10 the Mediterranean, aud
il Austria likes to sit quietly by while
Russia, n step at a time, embraces
all the Balkan States in her iron grt sp,
that is not our affair. We shall GER
tainly not pick the chestnuts out Of
the fire for her" There is a regular
"bout face" shown in these express
sions, but our EnGlish contemporary
goes on to gay; "The duty Of resisting
Russia in Europe rests upon Germany
and Austria. We shall have to deal
with her, sooner or later, in Asia, but
in Europe II Interests are not para
noun. Our presence in Egypt
gives US, pra tically control OF the
Sltz canal, while we now have
an alternative route to the L st via
TIE Ca allan p ci6c railway, and the
possession OF Malta, Cyprus and Glib.
raliar, in the Mediterranean, gives us a
pos lion upon that route to India and
Australia which Russia will not be
able TO asaSil for many years, il the
power is ever acquired" Uniortu-
nately FOR this rot very courageous

from a French paper, states that "the

ticn Of Bulgaria ! object to your mi j.
