the Lives OF Two Strikers.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 29.-The Daily Ne,rs
special from Galesburg, ILL.,, says: "The
only thing talked OF here today is the
killing OF Herbert Newell and the danger
Gus wounding OF George Cable, both
strikers, by Albert w. Hedberg, one OF
the new Burlington firemen. The shoot
ing occurred last night close TO Iledbergs
home. IIedberg is in the county Jail, to
guard which extra precautions have been
taken. Large timbers brace the outside
doors, and the guards are furnished with
Winchester rifles. While the strikers say
they intend to let the law take its course,
there is yet deep undercurrent OF feeling
that may produce violence. Hedberg is
twenty-five years of age and is related
TO q number OF the leading Swedish
families of Galcsburg. lilo says he was
on the way home when he noticed
Newell and Cable coming toward
him. As they passed, Hedberg says,
Newell caught him around the body
with one arm and around the neck
with the other, twisting his head to one
side, while Cable struck him On the right
temple. His left arm was bound fast, but
his right was free, and with this he drew
his revolver and fired twice. The first ball
entered Newell's side, ranged up through
the heart and came out on the right side Of
the neck. Newell released his hold and
fell dead in the gutter. The next shot was
directed at Gable and struck him in the
middle of the forehead, the ball passing
around close 10 the skull and issuing from
behind the right car. The shooting hap
pened beneath an electric light, but there
was only one eyewitness, the wife OF one
Of the new engineers, who partly corrob-
crates llcdberg's story, but not altogether
There is considerable testimony against
Hedberg 10 be developed. 1t will be
sworn that while in a pool-room short
time before the shooting, he made threat
that he would shoot any man who followed
him, whether a striker or not. II Is al
legged that Newell and Cable were on their
way TO Alderman Rickson's house TO ask
/ him TO come 10 caucus, and that they
did not follow Hedberg. They were seen
going toward Hedbcrg's house previous 10
the shooting. Newell, the man who was
killed outright, was one OF the oldest en-.

| Quincy road.

and with very little alteration in her rig
ging.
II is inevitable, though, that some
changes,will be made. Many clamor for
the relaxing OF the rule in regard to popu-
lar amusements. The strong point with
these is that Methodist practice along. this
line is not in harmony with its precepts,
and that to retain disciplinary rule which
is so often disregarded is bad policy,
especially since, while IL remains, 1t
places Methodism at disadvantage
with other denominations. Requests for
changes in the itinernt system of the
church are very numerous, among those
which are not unlikely TO prevail being
the demand for the extension OF the pas
toral limit, either iniormly, or so us to
meet special cases and provision by which
presiding elders, instead of being appointed
us now by the bishops shall be elected by
their brethren. Possibly, too, in the
same connection something may be done
by the way of comforting moro
power upon the bishops cabinet, or
which the presiding elders form the COM
ponent parts. This with view TO ~.
ducing the power OF the bishops in the
stationing oil ministers, Another matter
TO be considered, and which will probably
be decided in the affirmative, is that OF
extending the power Of the laity by giving
them representatives in the annual con-
ference. Another question will be
that Of union with other Meth
odist churches. There may be no
definite proposition for such union, but
the matter will come up In some FORM and
healthy growth Of sentiment will be in
Dictated. The conference will also COM
plete arrangements for gathering in this
country in 1901 OF representatives OF all
the Methodist churches in the world, Il
similar body TO the famous Ecumenical
conference which met in 1881 in London.

PRESIDENT GARFIELD was pretty good republican-probably as gcoi as General Harrison oI Leader Blaine-yet he was in favor of stepping in the direction of free trade" On April 1, 1870, General Gar field said: Duties should be so high that our manufacturers can fairly compete with the foreign product, but not so high as to enable them to drive out the foreign pro duct, enjoy Q monopoly of the trade, and regulate the prices as they please. This is my doctrine of protection. If congress pursues this line of policy steadily we shall, year by year, approach more nearly to the basis of free trade, because we shall be more nearly able to compete with other nations on equal terms. I am for pro- tection which leads to ultimate free trade We should like to hear General Harrison'r estimate of President Garfeld's republ.- caniSm

THE OLD ROMANS LETI'rf:

It was hardly necessary for Allen C.. Th-rinan to write letter of acceptance. His utternuces Cn ;Ie public platform had already stated his position with refer once to the tariff, and nothing that could be embodied in a letter could make his views more explicit. The fact, therefore, that he has deemed 1t expedient to make public his formal acceptance of the nomi- nation rendered hi,n at St Louis may be regarded as a perfnnctory concession to the custom that has ohtained in politics. The letter is brief but comprehensive idea of what is needed st this time for ths general benefit of tue country. It depre- cates emphatically the policy that would tax people far in excess of the needs of tae government, piling up an idle surplus ill the treasury and talk ing from the channels of trade millions of dollars to stimulate extravaganza and cor rlption in governmental expenditures His contrast of the relative policies actuating the parties IS particularly happy, and ex- presses i'll age sentence the whole gist of the great issue that divides them in the present campaign. We seek to re- duce taxes upon the necessaries Of life our opponents seek to increase them. /" he says; and from this he argues the superiority of the democratic position and the higher claim the party makes for the support of sensible men. TAe republican bugaboo that the democratic policy Of tariff reform as exemplifed in the Mills bill is hurtful to labor is neatly and effectively dissected by showing that the tax left by the Mills bill Is far in excess of the difference between American and European wages and is con sequently sufficiently protective for all pur- poses of labor. The profits of protection do not go to labor, but into the pockets of the manufacturers, who, in the words of Deacon Foster, "get the sole benefit. or at least the most directly important benefits ot the tariff laws" Hence the absurdity of the claim that the Mills bill, or lower taxes as proposed by the democratic policy, will work injury to the interests of the wage-earners

MT Thurman's letter will add to his fame as statesman. It is direct, forclole and convincing, expressing great economic truths in language that may be easily dn- derstood by the simplest minds. No man can rise from it's perusal without admit ting the strength and the expediency of the democratic policy, and the virihty of intellect which the Old Roman will bring to the settlement of economic and govern mental problems that may come within his province to decide. With such a master mind to assist by counsel and wis dom President CIereland's adniinistrati )n for the next four years will be marked, in increased degree if possible, by the Sin i tegrity, good sense. manly courage and ex- a!tel patriotism" that haze won the admira- ton of Judge Thurman and other loyal Anericans.

WHY WAGES COUP.

The best witnesses to the causes that put up wages are those who have to do directly with them. The men who pay wages and the men who earn them are the best judges as to the conditions that affect them The theorists who tell us that a high tariff makes high wages are not sus- tained when they appeal to these men.
 Governor Hill punctured their claim very neatly last week when he appealed, through the bureau of labor statistics of New York, to the manufacturers and toilers of the state. Of 1,311 employers who answered the question, ''To what do you attribute the increase of wages in the past five years ?" 964, or over 60 per cent, said "to the organization of labor," while only six claimed that the tariff was the cause. Of 558 labor unions that answered, 800 at tributed theincrease solely to organization.
 These men know very we'll that the tariff has nothing to do with wages. They know that employers are not running their concerns for philanthropic purposes They are not paying higher wages than they are compelled to, and they never will. American laborowes it's proud positio
