Our esteemed contemporary. the
Evening Express, objects to our CHASING
the New York Herald, Times, Evening
Post, Horper's Weekly and Puck as Re-
publican journals. 1t says that they
supported Cleveland in 1884. That is
true, just as it is true of the Boston Her.
aid and numberless other Republican
newspapers. The Times remained Re
publican on all issues except the Presi-
dency, as did the Post ard Harper's
Weekly. All three of them supported
Ira Davenport for Governor against
David B. Hill. They support Cleveland
because they believe he is the best man
for the place. We will add, for the in.
formation of our contemporary, that that
is the reason why the vast majority OF
the American people will support him.
The Herald was Republican journal DUR
ing and after the war, and it did not sup
port Tllden in 1876, or We are greatly
mistaken. At that time it had developed
into an independent attitude and was a
free lance, position it maintained till
Cleveland ran in 1884. 1t supported him
because he was the best man, and is
doing it again for the same reason. As
to the position of Puck it was substan-
TALLY the same as that OF the Herald.
The significant thing is that these jour-
nals-leaving Puck out of the count
were for years the brains and inspiration
of the Republican party.

ham Daily Post, a journal which is pub
lished in the center of the iron manufac-
lures of England, in its issue of July
2Sth, delivered itself to the following
purport:
English traders will learn with good
deal of amusement that in the Presiden-
tial election campaign in America the
great cry which the Republicans are
using against Mr.. Cleveland is that he is
deliberately betraying the interests OF
American trade for the benefit Of English
manufacturers. 1t is scarcely necessary
to say that from an English point of
view the Mills Tariff bill by no means
bears that aspect. On the whole, its
operation will probably be distinctly to
our disadvantage. Only in few trivial
instances the bill reduces the tariff on
articles imported from England. The
main object of the measure is by tighten
ing and in some instances removing the
duties on raw material to lessen the cost
of the production of American manufac-
lures, and of course every step in that
direction will make the United States a
more dangerous competitor of England
in all neutral markets.
1t is perfectly clear, therefore, that il
the policy of Mr.. Cleveland, as embodied
in the Mills Tariff bill, and as set forth
in the now historic declaration to Con-
gress, has been received with marked
satisfaction in England, that satisfaction
was the rebuff which it administered tc
the factious cry for protection in Eng
land. When Mr.. Cleveland's manifesto
was made public the Fair Trade agitation
in England, just then at considerable
height, went out like a snuffed candle
That was the reason, and the only rea
son, for the delight with which thai
manifesto was received in England.
If purely selfish considerations had
been allowed to sway English opinion
we do not doubt that the feeling among
clear-sighted English traders would have
been rather for the rejection than for the
acceptance of the Mills Tariff bill. /
English opinion is running in favor o
Mr.. Cleveland's candidature it is not be
cause any hopes are entertained of ma
terial benefit to our trade to be derived
from his continuance in Office, but be
cause he leads the party which is, at any
rate for the time, the party of purity.
Where the utterances of the English
newspapers have not been Of the Smalley
stool pigeon order, the benefits to Ameri
can industries, in the extension of ou
foreign trade, have been clearly an(
forcibly set forth.
AS we have said at the outset of thi
article, the farce OF the present campaign
| is the attempt to get up raw-head ane
bloody bones English free trade scare
with "fe, fl, fo, fun, smell the blood o
an Englishman," as the refrain OF th'
prosy song, It won't work,

The "old Roman" has announced his
intention to speak at public meeting in
New York during the coming campaign.
We have also his promise to come out to
the Golden State and make a few
speeches here. Allen G. Thurman has
the faculty of making the best balanced
and most thoughtful speeches of any
of our public men, in this respect re-
markably resembling the late Thomas A.
Hendricks. His visit to the Coast will
arouse unbounded enthusiasm. His de-
votion to the rights of the masses and
his splendid anti Chinese record having
made him hosts of friends even outside
of his own party.

GHLEBOUN GONFESSES
To the Scheme to Blow Up
Gary, GrinneII and BOufield.
THE WHOLE PLOT LAID BARE
And FIendish Dynamite conspir-
acy Appears to have been on Foot.
He will Confirm his Story
in Open Court To-day.

CHICAGO, July l9.-Frank Chleboun
the brown-haired, blue-eyed, sweet,
voiced fiend, who, with John Hronek
and Frank Chepak, schemed to murerd
Judge Gary, Judge Grinnell and In,
spector Bonfeld, has made full and
complete confession. Chleboun was not
locked up at the Armory yesterday, as
were the other two, and when Chepak
was taken to the Central Station and
Hronek to jail, Chleboun was sent to an
outlying police station. He was not
subjected, as were the others, to the Or
deal Of having his picture taken for the
rogues' gallery.
Last night Inspector Bonfeld, accom-
panied by two OF his Bohemian secret
service operatives, clad in workinpmen's
suits with soft black hats and blue fan-
mel shirts, visited the innocent looking
prisoner. The preceding day he had in
timated that he was ready to tell what
he knew and last evening the Inspector
went to hear his story. Through the in
terpreters Chleboun went into the whole
story from his first meeting with Hronek
and Chepak. His confession was that
Hronek had unfolded his plans for
revenge and had told OF bomb which
he (Hronek) had invented. 1t was
small, and was TO be loaded with dyna-
mite and glass. 1t was denied by Chile
boun that the plot was to murder the
judges and inspector. That is We heard
OF no such definite scheme. We were
talked OF, as was Capt. Schask, and he
understood he was TO pay more atten-
ton to the Captain than any one else.
There was no concerted plan OF action,
but it was agreed that when all prepara-
tions were made, he and two others were
to be informed by Hronek at the door
just what they were to do in the way OF
avenging the dead martyrs.
The men were supplied with bombs
and dynamite. He had the stuff in
his house for almost week and grew SO
afraid that it would, be discovered that
he made away with it by throwing it in
privy vault. This was the substance
Of the confession that Inspector Bon
field received. By his confession it is
understood Chleboun has virtually Sc
cured immunity from prosecution. He
is in reality much less guilty than either
Hronek or Chepak. He will give his
testimony in open court, where it will
corroborate the other evidence. Two
other men are still at large, but may be
arrested nj any time.

GANG OF YOUNG THIEVES
Uuearthed In CInelnnatI-Bold Robborles
Committed by Them.

CINCINNATI, o., July l0.-Yesterday
three boys not over thirteen years old,
were arrested near the Exposition build
ings, where they had been observed at
tempting to pick pockets Of strangers.
Late last evening they made a confess
sion, and by their own statements
showed that they were members of a
regularly organized band of young
thieves. The gang was composed OF
Bundy Wainwright, the leader, Llnsey
Murphy, Walter Harris, Willie Mad
ders and the prisoners. Their ages
range from twelve to eighteen years.
Dixon, one OF the prisoners, stated that
the gang had been picking pockets and
tapping tills all over the city. Several
days ago they made round and tapped
the till OF the drug store at the corner
OF Clark and Baymiller streets. From
there they went to Freeman, near Oehler
station, where they tapped the till OF
grocery. From this point they went
to the saloon at the corner OF Richmond
and Baymiller streets, and relieved the
till OF its contents. From here they
worked northward, the next place being
the saloon at franklin avenue and Lib
erty street. Here they succeeded in get
ting several dollars in change.
The gang, according to. the prisoners
even went so far as to organ
ize raid on the Second National Bank,
at Ninth and Main streets. 1t was ar
ranged that three Of the gang should
visit the place about closing time, and
while two OF them started sham fight,
the third was TO Chamber over the iron
railing or get through door and grab |
q bundle OF money. The boys visited
the place twice, but each time a blue
coat happened to be in the neighbor-
hood. After this attempt, Wainwright,
Maddcrs and Harris went to
Tenn, where they are at
present.
The case is one Of the most peculiar
brought to the attention OF the police

WHAT NEW YORKERS THINK
utthe Alleged Conspiracy Cases a gains
brotherhood Mon.

Aboutthe Alleged Conspiracy Cases Against
brotherhood Men.
New YoRK, July 19.-The World says:
There is only one feeling among the
members Of the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers in this neighborhood
in regard to the alleged dynamite con-
spiracy among members Of the Brother
hood in Chicago. They are not willing
to accept the fact that either Hoge or
Murphy, or any OF the Brotherhood
officers, are guilty, and many men claim
that the charges have been manufactured
by Pinkerton men TO divert public SYM
pathy from the Brotherhood.
1.-THE sentiment is universal, ," said H.
Ross, an ex-officer OF Division l05, OF
this city, "thatil the men are guilty they
should be punished TO the full extent OF
the law, but we do not take any stock in
the dynamite story, and believe that it
has been concocted by the company and
detectives to cast odium on the Brother
hood. With regard to the sal-soda and
emery circular, we do not believe it was
ever issued by Hoge. For the simple
reason that any man OF ordinary intel
ligence must have known that he was
rendering himself liable to the con-
spiracy laws. II such q circular was
ever issued, it was done by o man OF
small intelligence without the knowl-
edge OF any committee or the officers OF
the Brotherhood. The so-cailed confes-
sions are evidently part OF the scheme.
However, II these alleged crimes are
proved to be true, the Brotherhood,
through its proper officers, will see that
the parties are properly punished"
George w. Van Tassel, an officer OF
Division l45, OF this city, and holding a
position OF trust on the New York Cen
tral, with which road he has been since
1868, said:
"The Brotherhood discountenanCes all
violence, and II the men in Chicago are
proved guilty OF the crimes with which
they are charged, believe they should
be severely punished. It seems strange
TO me, however, that the company has
so recently received both Hoge and
Murphy to represent the two Brother
hoods Il they were the conspirators the
company claims them to be. From what
l know OF our men, / know they con.
demn violence Of every kind. II they
have grievances which the companies
refuse to hear or mend, they strikei but

Columns, July ia. W. Walton,
John Temple Graves and G. II. Miller,
special committee representing the
North Georgia and Alabama Exposition,
which is to be held the first week in Oc-
tober, called on Judge Thurman yester-
day afternoon to extend him an earnest
invitation. us the Democratic candidate
for Vice President, to attend the Expo
sition. Mr.. Graves, who is editor of the
Rome (Ga.) Tribune, acted us spokesman
and presented the formal address from
the Exposition Commissioners and tho
people OF Georgia and Alabama, urging
his presence, which was supplemented
by the warmest and most cordial invita-
ton on the part OF the committee. The
address set forth in brief that the Expo
sition would be held in the industrial
and geographical center OF the South,
and II the Vice Presidential candidate
contemplated visit South during the
campaign this was the pointto which he
should come, as the people engaged in
industrial pursuits were somewhat dis
satisfied over the Free Trade principles
rs presented by the present administra-
ton, and for this reason the committee
thought visit from Thurman would be
most timely and polite.
Judge Thurman, in replying to the
address, informed the committee that
they might over.estimate what he might
have to say, in case OF visit, or the in
fluencc which he might be able to exert;
that he was in the nature OF conscript,
and had, rs it were, been drafted into
the service when he was nominated,
though there were many who claimed
he was old and broken down, that he
had found that when he got at it he ire-
quently had great deal to say. He in
formed the committee that he would
very much like to attend the exposition,
but he feared that his duties at Wash
ington at that time, when lie expected
to make an argument before the SUI
preme Court in the telephone case,
would interfere. The committee re-
minded Judge Thurman that the expo
sition would extend over period Cf
about two weeks, and that he could
probably find time to attend both and
select his own date for the exposition.
With this explanation the committee
received considerable encouragement
from the ce.Presidential candidate,
and feel confident that they will be able
to secure his presence on some day OF
the exposition. After the formalities Of
the occasion a social lunch was served
and much complimentary talk INDUCED
in. A little sally by Mr.. Greaves was
greatly enjoyed in remark to Mrs.
Thurman that the Democracy OF the
country now had 4 sweetheart in Wash
ington in Mrs. Cleveland and they were
anxious to have her there as mother.

GROSSLY INCOMPETENT.
Investigation of the Iowa State Railroad
Commissioners.

Investigation OF the Iowa state Railroad
Commissioners.
DEsNIoINEs, IA, July l9.-Some sur
prising disclosures are resulting from the
course OF the attorneys for the Rock
Island and Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern roads, taking testimony to
learn how competent the State Railroad
Commissioners are to fix the rates.
Their examination OF Mr.. Ainsworth,
the Secretary OF the Board, developed
many extraordinary facts us to the care
less and hasty manner in which the
commissioners had been accustomed to
act. Judge Withrow, OF Chicago,
general solicitor for the Rock Island,
conducted the inquiry. The secretary
admitted that in one instance he changed
the official schedule after it had come
from their State printer, and he claimed
he did so ut the request OF one commits
sioncr, not by direction OF the three.
An examination OF his officials rec
ords also showed that it was common
for official action to be taken by direction
Of one, the Secretary following the di-
rection Of one to-day and another to-
morrow. So far rs the records were
concerned, there was nothing TO show
that in the case of several proceedings,
there had been any consultation or
united action by the board ordering it.
Business seemed to have been trans
acted in a haphazzard way, as any COM
missioner happened TO desire. Judge
Withrow said that the object OF this
investigation was to see how competent
these commissioners were who had un-
dertaken to manage several million dol
lars worth OF railroad property, and he
proposed to submit their competency to
the test OF an expert examination and
then prove to the courts that they did
not know how 10 make reasonable
schedule of rates.
There was an amusing passage when
Judge Withrow asked the secretary:
sis there anything to show what the
Board does from day to day"
"There is a diary for that"
The diary was handed to the attorney
who made an examination. He con-
vulsed the audience by reading: "Ed is
here" under one date; "Ed is not here,"
under another; "Ed is ut work, " under
another, etc.
"Who is Ed, Mr.. Ainsworth?"
"Ed is the son OF my predecessor and
ex-head clerk OF the commission"
"And do you call these entries in re-
gard to Ed the records OF the proceed
ings Of this great Board?"
The attorneys for the commissioners
have been quite discomftted by the re-
suit Of the Investigation so far.

POLITICS IN NEW YORK CITY.
Rumors of Large sized Bolt from the
County Democracy.

1
NHw York, July 10-In local politics
there is a strong undertow, which is
destined to drown a great many Of the
more ambitious small swimmers before
the harvest moon is on the wane and be-
fore the good people OF the different dis
tricts thoroughly ::reaIize what is going
forward. At the present moment the
extra session at Albany and the organiZa-
ton OF the Democatic State Committee
have absorbed largo share OF the popu-
lar attention, but few Of the wise men
who have greater regard for local than
for either State or National issues have
been watching with keen eyes the
maneuvres OF the Democratic leaders
with a view TO discovering what they
were after and how the local Democrat
cat was going to jump. Observant local
politicians have come to the conclusion
that Henry d. Purroy is going TO bolt
from the county Democracy. Indeed it
is commonly stated that Purroy is going
to stay in the county Democracy only u
few days longer and that then he will
boldly and ostentatiOusly severe his COLI
necti0n with that wing Of the party. 1t
is stated that lie will take with him, be-
sides his own district, those led by
Charles Reilly, Commissioner Of Jurors,
Andy White and Fatty Walsh. This
means bitter antagonism OF ex-Mayor
Grace's candidaturc for any Office to
which that gentleman may aspire.

Tho Alleged DynnmIters Held In Bail.
Three not Allowed Liberty.
After an earnest address by each Of the
two lawyers for the defense in the Bur
lington dynamite cases to-day, Commits
sioner Hoyne said: "The prosecution
has presented a good probable case
against the prisoners, and 1 should not
be performing my duty unless I referred
the charges against all the prisoners to
the grand Jury. 1t is for the grand jury
to pass upon the mems guilt or inno-
cence." The Court ordered that the
amount OF bail should remain as al
ready fixed-S5,0O0 apiece. Efforts to
exempt Engineer Cooling from being
held over were Intellectual, as were also
attempts to have his bail reduced. The
argument Of the defense was that there
had been practically no evidence against
Cooling. Among the spectators who
witnessed the conclusion OF the trial
was Assistant Postmaster General Ste
venson.
The three prisoners, Broderick, Bauer
ism and Cooling, were not allowed their
liberty on bail. All three were rear
rested before moving step. State war
rants were used, the charge being bring
ing dynamite into the State Of Illinois
contrary 10 the law.
