in such a manner that he could neither
stand nor. lie down. In that position he
kept them for IS hours. One of the men
was tied to a stanchion for four days with
out food. During this time his scant ra-
tions were placed within his sight but not
within his reach. When the Hecla reached
Acapulco the men were weak from ill
treatment and Insufficient food. The bru-
tai captain, with the aid of Mexican troops,
cast them into dungeon and kept them
there until the vessel was ready to sail.
The men appealed to the United States
Consul at Acapulco but were unable to ob-
tain any assistance from that quarter. The
case will come up in court to-day.

Having been asked to explain the
origin Of the name Tpyecanoe as .p-
piled to the Harrisons. William II.
and Benjsmin. we make the following
explanation with pleasure: During
the political canvass Of 1910 the So
briquet Tppeca.oe was conferred up
on General William Henry Harrison.
(who in that campaign We. elected
President Of the United States) on
account Of the victory gained by him
over the Indians in the battle of the
9TH Of November, 1911, (afterward
called the battle of Tippecanoe) at
the junction Of the Tippecanoe and
Wabash river. In 1901 Gen. W. II.
Harrison became Governor Of In
diana which then included vast area
of territory. He was also eJ-oficio
Superintendent of Indian affairs.
The Indians became dissatisfied and
Tecumseh, the famous Chief. chal-
lenged the young Governor at Vim
cennes for battle. There were at
that time scalps of white women and
children flying on string at his wig
wan door The defiance was accept
ed. Harrison took the field in per-
son, and the famous battle of Tippe-
canoe, which immOrtalized his name,
followed.
The New York police, Oct. %, OBJ
tanned 257 warrants for parties who have
illegally registered. These will be used in
the sixth precinct, where it is said there
are a number of colonizers, on election
day. The colonizers will have TO swear in
their vote and then they will be arrested.
-Couriers from Tabora bring direct
news from the Stanley expedition, por-
ton of which was met at the end of No
vember, 1887, by Arabs trading about Lake
Victoria Nyanza. These Arabs met STAN
ley's rear guard at a point west of Albert
Nyanza and southeast of Sanga. The
Arabs did not see Stanley. The detach-
ment seen consisted of 80 men. They
stated that Stanley was two days ahead.

What Democracy wants.

By crying free trade. the Republi- cans hoped to create . stampede, and as in 1880, carry the election in panic.
 Instead, they find that the purpos- es of the Democratic party ares em- bodied in a careful drawn bill, bill which Democrats are able and will ing to defend; bill such as Grant and Garfield and Arthur urged Con- gress to pass, and which can be un- derstocn even by men little informed concerning pablic affairs.
 The Republicans have no bill, but they have q platform, drawn to an- tagonize the democratic measure on every issue.
 That platform discards the idea of taxation for revenue anal demands such rate as will destroy revenue and check imports.
 Instead of lowering the tariff and removing it's irregularities and inc qualities, they propose to advance taxation and preserve every pro- tectiye feature by giving the people free whisky.
 On these issues, thus presented the Democrats have opened their can yass. The Mills bill is discussed, explained and dissected; it's purport is clearly declared and the orator, show at what points and to what eX- tent it is repugnant to the Republi- can platform.
 The Democrats favor a tariff aver ageing forty per cent. The Republicans demand prohibi- tory duties.
 The Democrats ask for free impor- tations of necessaries of life, in order to limit the powers of trusts,
 The republicans insist on increas- ing duties, thus checking imports and extending the power of the trusts. | The Democrats put wool on the free list In order to encourage an eX- , port trade in woolen manufactur- es.
 The Republicans denounce free raw materials. Democrats demand reduced tar if on clothing. : The Republlcans oif"r free wnis- ky.
 These are the issaes presented by the Republican platform. They are plain, direct and specific. Lou. isvilIe Couricr-J ournal.

 In the last ten years eleven men were killed in and near Prescott and e .ch killing is ,raceable directly to whiskev. Each of the trials cost the county considerable sum; some of them q very large sum. So not on ly have eleven men, some of them o'!r best citizens, lost their lives. The whole county has been taxed to pay the cost of these prosecutions We frequently hear it said that pro hibtion will kill the town, and in or der to set this question at rest we went to each of the merchants in town, except few who have com menced business since prohibition went into effect, and one who was not in town. and propounded to them this question, What effect has prohibition had on your busi- ness?" Below will be found the an- swers of each, to-wit:
 $. B. Gee & Bro. It has not hurt us.
 R. l.. Hinton: My business is better, notwithstanding before we had prohibition got large trade which was prejudiced against the other drug stores fer selling liquor.
 Guy Nelson, mayor: It has ruin ed the mayors business. have on ly about } cases per querter before me as mayor.
 Foster X Logan Hardware Co. :- Has not injured us. Our business Is better.
 Hatley X Christopher: Has helped us. We forgot it.
 John NJ. Milburu: Drug business is better.
 ! Brooks. Blake X Co.,: Cash sales st least twice as large.
 J. 0. Howell Benefited by it.
 N. C. Cassidy: Not helped us.
 Johnson & Generelly: Don't think it has hurt us, Our trade is larger.
 Denman X Bro. Done us no good.
 W. B. Waller. My trade has in- creased.
 Hugh Honcrief: Financially bus mess not as good. B. l.. IIarwood: Think it has been an advantage.
 Some of the merchants stated to us that parties from distance who bring cotton here say they prefer to come here now, as they can bring their families to town and not be afraid of their being insulted by drunken men.
