On the presentation Of their grievances q stern

Of Gould and Hoxle. Premiums were offered

10 feet square and has large number

MURDERED by A MOB.
A Tragedy at Anthony, Kansas--Two
brothers shot 10 Pieces.

About two months ago fight occurred In
Danyle, near Anthony, Kansas, between two
brothers named Weaver and man named
Adel. The latter was fatally wounded, and
the Weaver boys we're hurried away to avoid
mob violence. Recently they returned for tri-
al, but their case was continued for term
with bail OF $4,000 each. At 1 o'clock on the
morning OF the 10Th a mob Of about forty
armed men surrounded the shcriif's residence
in Anthony, where the prisoners were under
guard. The guard hearing them rushed the
prisoners out Of the back door, and into the
basement Of the new school building. The
sheriff was taken prisoner by the mob and
guarded. The deputies finding IL useless to
resist surrendered. The Weaver brothers de-
Tended themselves with reyolyers which they
had taken from one of the deputies. They
were finally overpowerel by the mob and dis
armed. Ropes were placed around their necks
and preparations made to hang them, but Alc
trample Of approaching feet frightened tho
mob, so they fired fifteen or twenty shots into
each man, literally shooting them to pieces.
Mounting their horses they rode rapidly away.
The mother of the boys and wife Of one Of
them witnessed the entire tragedy.

The President and Tariff.

President Cleveland has been under
stood to be opposed to employing the pat
ronage of the government to influence
legislation. But it appears that he has
adopted different policy in regard to the
tariff bill now pending in Congress. The
tree trade democrats, finding that the bill
was likely to be defeated in the House.
have solicited his interposition to save it,
and he is now using his influence to bring
the democratic members of that body into
line IN support of the measure. 1t is
thought in Washington that this change of
front is in large measure due to the Ill
ness of Mr.. Manning. who had been intlu.
enced in no small degree by Mr.. Randall
and for the past year had kept the Presi-
dent friendly to the Randall wing of the
party.
His plan is said simply to be to refuse
tariff democrats any of the benefits of
federal patronage. Each member will be
informed by the President that he consid.
ers it necessary to make free trade the
watchword of the party, and that any
votes against the Morrison bill will be re-
garded as votes to break up the democrat
ic party, and that the sooner tariff demo-
Gratis leave the party and betake them
selves into the republican party the better
for all concerned, Laboring men who
are in favor of protection to american in
dustries will probably take notice OF the
Presidents position in this matter, which
is of great importance to them, and cast
their influence in future against the free
trade democracy.

Business.

Business begins to increase with the
coming of warm weather. The last week
has been a reminder to all that the cold
season is past and the season of activity
begun. Were it not for labor difficulties
there would be better outlook than At
present. In the wheat and corn centres
there was some rise in those articles last
week. but it is not believed this can be
maintained, as the stock of last years
yield left over is large and the prospect
for the new crop is good. Oats fell, cot
ton remains unchanged; the exports of
cotton are still large and in March were
80 per cent larger than last year. The
production of iron is at the rate of
5.453, 084 tons yearly. and there is some
reason to doubt whether the demand JUS
titles so great production, about
forty per cent. larger than that
of April l, 1885, and % per cent.
larger than that of January this year.
The price of pig is barely sustained, and
bar and nails do not advance, but orders
for steel rails already booked for this
year are said to be about 100000 tons,
and S35 is by many works no longer &C.
cepted.
1t is significant that easy money and a
small expansion of loans did not lift the
stock market last week. nor did all the
strikes and labor troubles much depress
it. Apparently the fact that people dare
not put money into industrial enterprises,
and cannot get any interest to speak of
for it on stock collateral. leads many to
buy securities as about the only way to
use money. Between country and city in
this State, trade IS small on account of
bad travelling. But farmers are getting
ready for sowing and planting. and put
off business away from home until more
convenient opportunity.
