For the last seven years a band OF
horse thieves and torgers has been
operating in Howell, Texas, Shannon,
Oregon and Douglas counties, which
has carried away hundreds of horses
and mules and perpetrated other crimes
with IMMUNITY. Detectives had failed
to make an arrest, when about two
months ago j. w. Deboard, q promi-
nent citizen Of Willow Springs, Mo-,
took upon himself the task Of bringing
the band to justice. By rendering some
of the supposed leaders services he
soon gained their confidence, and about
two weeks ago was elected secretary
of the club and handled all their cor
respondence, aud thus learned all the
secrets of the band. Having completed
all his plans for their arrest, he went
to Mountain Grove, No., and swore
out warrants for thirty-four horse
thieves and two forgers. The last two
have been arrested and the officers are
searching for the others who live in
places far from public roads.

The New Orleans Picayune says
of, however, it be thought necessary
not merely TO Outvote the south, but
permanently to disable its people by
placing their public elections under
federal supervision vested with power
to superintend, determine and declare
in all matters of detail in their cleo
tons, then the consequences will be
direful indeed and would result in
placing every southern seat in congress
at the dictation of federal control.
These are possibilities that must be
considered" To which the New FORK
Herald replies:-"That ia a bugaboo,
an old woman's tale, a nightmare.
There isn't Ii scintilla of truth In it.
You forget that the sovereign in THU
country is the people. The sovereign

the politician who has such a crlck in
his neck that he can see nothing but
battle fields and sectional hatreds will
in a few years be so c~ouspicously unique
that he can make his t)rtune in a dine

that while the New York Herald is un.

very little about the sentiments which

special committee on immigration
abuses, and his excellent work In that
and other positions gave him a national
reputation. Clear headed, fearless and
honest, he could scarcely be spared. If
such men a thus be driven from the

THEY DARE NOT BETRAY THEIR
TRUST.

Senator Allison was interviewed at
Dubuque, Iowa, last Monday, as to the
attitude of the republican party on the
tariff question. He said:-
"The republican party tavors the gem
eral revision plan proposed by the SEN
ate substitute. 1t there is any probable
ity that the house will agree to the main
features of the senate substitute, or if
there is a probability of a final agree
ment during the session, then no doubt
the senate will proceed at once to its
consideration aud press it to compile
ton as rapidly as possible" In reply
to a question whether the senate bill
would pass the house, he said:-"This
no one knows. The principles upon
which it is to be constructed being
agreed on, the details become . matter
OF adjustment and compromise. No
tariff bill can pass the house during a
short session that does not meet the
approval of its reco gnlzed leaders. A
minority of the democrats might favor
the senate bill, and with the republic
cans constitute a majority of the house,
yet without the consent of the speaker,
the majority of the ways aud means
committee and the majority of the party
In power in the house, they could not
get the question before the house. If
the republicans have a majority in the
next house, which seems probable, they
will pass the bill next winter. The re-
publicans recognize the necessity for q
reduction in revenue, and also. the
necessity of tariff revision. II they
have both houses the tariff will be re-
vised and the revenue reduced practi-
oally upon the general plan proposed in
the senate substitute"
There is very different
tone about this from the pre-
vailing republican sentiment of the
past campaign, as there seems to be on
various points, but the chances OF any
thing like concessions for compromise
on the part OF the republicans are not
good. They sold their principles in the
canvass for the fat of the manufacturers
with which to carry on the canvass, and
they dare not betray their bargain. No
matter how much OF a robbery q pro-
tective tariff tax may be it will not be
cut down by the republican party to
just proportions. The people may
groan and sweat, but they will get no
relief. The moAopolies are on top.

Private Dalzell:-The only fruit the

republican Offices. This, 1 contend, is
all right. We give the democratic
comrade the right hand of fellowship,
but would no more vote for him than
he would for US. We do not name
politics in the post, for we are a non.
partisan organization, owned and oper.
ated by the republican party alone.
We do not make stump speeches in the
post room, or fly the bloody 81 irt
there, but we keep up a devil of a think
ing. This is all right. I find no fault
with it. If l thought the democratic
party could use the G. A. r. l would
never wear the badge again-never
1t has but two duties to perform,
namely, to perpetuate the power of the
republican party and divide the treas
ury surplus among its members. This

This is why l have agitated it for 3S
years This is why l will agitate it ill
I die. The republican party has no
other use for the q. A. r. but to keep
1t in power, and the G. A. r. has no
other use for the republican party but
to get money in bounty and pensions.

paid for, were not delivered. Says the
