Speaker Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-There is but
ore opinion entertained by the Democratic
members Of Congress now in The city who
are friends Of Speaker Carlisle-that his
reelection to the Speaksrship is matter Of
fact, and none will admit that there is any
obstacle raised by the proposed contest Of
the Speakers opponent in the late Congres-
sional race. The Speakers Kentucky adj
mirers insist that the light vote cast for
him for Congress at the recent election did
not indicate any waning Of his popularity
at home. Some OF them are already de-
claring that IL Mr.. Carlisle Is not reelected

1he California Seuatorvhip,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1&-The Ercnin0
Star has the following: Senator Hearst,
Of California, telegraphs to a friend in this
city that the Democrats have II majority
OH joint ballot in the Legislature of that
State. Administration agreement was made
by person who was in position to know
the facts among the Democratic leaders to
the effect that If Hearst could make the

WHOLESALE MURDER.

Young Fellow Betrays WIFE ana Auf.
ders HALF . Dogen Of the Family and
Then Fires the HOUSE.
WHITE RIvhR, Ont. Nov. 17.-Fof some
weeks past largo number OF employees
have been engaged here in preparing the
railroad track for winter. Among this
force was ono Richard K. OBrien, hand
some young fellow about thirty years OF
age. He met Charles Williams. country
st0rekeeper, and they became intimate
friends Living In the same family with
Mr.. and Mrs Charles Williams were the
father and mother Of the husband, as well
rs three small children Of the wife. For the
last SIX weeks Williams has suspected his
wife of infidelity aud laid q trap to catch
her. Taking train Sunday for Chapleau,
Ont, he left word that he would be absent
over night, but instead OF going to his desti.
nation, he took the return train from way
station, and SO arrived home in the night
Going to his house he found his wife Ia
company with OBrien. He struck at the
latter with heavy stick. OBrien quickly
recovered himself, drew his revolver and
shot Williams dead. The noise attracted
the other occupants of the house. OBrien
shot the father, as he was entering the
room, partially dressed. Having no more
cartridges, as the old lady put in
an appearance and screamed, the
murderer seized heavy chair and
struck her cruel blow, which laid her
senseless before him. 10 conclude the
work he beat her until her head was re-
duced to pulp with heavy stick Of stove
wood. Two of the three children were
then disposed Of with the same club. A
little boy, the youngest. only eighteen
months Old, was spared, as he could bear
no evidence against the murderer. The
wretch then stabbed his paramOur four times
about the region of the heart, and
left her for dead. He then fired
the house and left hurriedly. Attracted
by the flames. the neighbors came to the
relief, and succeeded in removing the
bodies of the killed and Mrs. Williams and
the infant from the burning building. Mrs.
Williams lived long enough to make q
statement of the affair to the authorities,
then expired. The officers of the law were
quickly i'm search of the assassin, and he
was arrested about twenty-five miles from
the scene of tie tragedy. He denied the
crime. He claims to be able to prove an
abb. There are, however, many circum-
stances against him. and it Is more than
probable that he will be lynched.

THE BUTCHERS STRIKE.

The Men DtSS3tSneO WIN the OOuultiOnS,
and Another General Strike Probable.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE butchers former
" employed by Nelson Morris notified him
this morning that they were not quite
ready to go to work. They said that they
did not like the plan proposed under which
they are requested to work, which is to
pay them SO much per hour. Some Of
Swift's men also refused to go back and
retired for consideration.
The contract which the ock-yards
packers are requiring for the ex-strikers
to sign is leading to fresh complications,
and possibly another general strike.
Many of the men who are not yet
employed say that they will never
sign any such agreement. The more
radical of the strikers are in
favor of renewing the fight, claiming that
Powderly ordered the men back upon the
supposition that no conditions would be
imposed.

All. and Dend Issues.

Inhis sombre and funeral oratory in
regard to the Democratic graveyard,
the Republican candidate unwittingly
drew picture that should be whole
some lesson to the party which has
put Alfred forward as its chosen lead
er. ALI. spoke at length of the dead
issues which the Democratic party
had laid to rest in this graveyard, and
he spent much time in reading their
names from the headstones, for the
benefit of his audience. But what
Alfred supposed to be a reproach to
the Democratic party is really a virtue.
Unlike the Republican party, it keeps
a graveyard, and whenever political
question becomes dead issue it lays
it forever in the tomb. The Republi-
can party has no graveyard, and it
never buries its dead. 1t keeps its UNI
confined carcasses above the earth to
tester in the sun, to poison the atmos-
phere and breed pestilence and death
in the political world. Not satisfied
with the stencil of its own carrion, it
is continually prowling in the Demo
cratic graveyard to dig up the crum-
bling bones Of past issues. Ifitis true,
as the Republican candidate declares,
that secession was q Democratic issue,
and that its corpse lies buried in this
graveyard, why should Mr.. Taylor
seek to dig up its bones and rattle
them before his Republican audience?
The Republican party not only refuses
to bury its own dead, but it will not
allow anyone else's dead to rest in
peace. When the Southern Confed.
eracy went down and secession was
laid to rest in its bloody shroud, the
people OF the South turned their faces
in another direction and have labored
with resolute endeayor to build up the
waste places and contribute their full
share to the honor and glory OF the
country. 1t is the Republican party
and Republican leaders like ALI Tay
lor who persist in the effort to make
secession living issue of to-day, ant
point to its grave in orderto taunt the
living and insult the memory OF The
dead. The Republican party would
be in much better business if it would
/ purchase a few square miles OF terri
tory in which to lay its own dead is
sues to rest, instead Of wandering il
the Democratic cemetery and giving
itself bad Reconsideration.

The platform Of the Michigan De-
mocracy has the true ring when it de-
nounces the "robbed tariff" That is
exactly whats high protective tariff is,
and the U,S.supremeCourt has so held.
In case reported in Goth Wallace,
page 657, Justice Miller, Republican
uses the following language:
"To lay with one hand the power Of
the Government on the property Of
the citizen, and with the other to be.
stow itupon favored individuals to aid
private enterprises and build private
fortunes, is none the less robbery he
cause it is done under the forms o.
law and is called taxation"

The Public Domain.

From 1862 to 1871 the Republican
party donated to railroads and other
corporations 100000 acres of pub
lie land. 1t was given away without
money and without price. This inn
mense body of land at $3.50 an acre
would be worth seven hundred and
forty millions of dollars, or nearly ten
times the amount proposed to be ex-
pended by the provision Of theBlair Bill
The last Congress, under the lead OF
the Democrats, rested millions OF acres
OF unearned lands from these corpora
tions, and they are restored to the
public domain. When Bob Taylor
and other Democrats propose to sell
some of these lands and apply the
proceeds to educating the poor chill
dren OF the country, the Republican
organs set up prolonged howl. We
presume they want public lands re-
served for grinding railroad monopo-
lies" and alien corporations.
