The strongest argument against federal
aid to schools in the ex-slave States Is adj
duced by their own best men. They say
the gods help those who help themselves.
They fear the effect of dependence on pa
ternal government. Tney fear that after
seventy-seven millions have been expended
a CRY will 90 up for more-that a prece-
dent will be established that will destroy
self-reliance. The argument is the same
that many a fond father has felt the force
of when, after expanding his fortune in
order to educate his sons, he has found
that he has united them for the battle of
life and made them weaklings and depend.

The First rarin sAirmish

WAsHINGToE, January 19.-The first
skirmish of the opposing lines on the sub
ject of revenue reform took place to day IN
Ways and Means Committee, resulting in
q slight victory for the tariff reformer-.
Chairman Mills, who has been ipdiiposed
for s day or two, was unable to attend, and
Mr.. Mcmillan, OF Tennessee, presided. A
formal motion made by him to refer to
appropriate sub committees the various
bills referred to the committee that have
been received from the Public Printer was
adopted. Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, then
moved to take up and consider his bill
repeating the tobacco tax. Some discus
sion ensued from which ii appeared that
the Democratic majority was averse to con-
sideriDg any specified tax reductio bill at
this time, preferrlng to taFe up that class
of bills in connection with the general
tariff reduction bill which it is the inten-
ton of the committee to present to the
House. Finally Mr.. Breckenridge, of
Arkansas, moved to defer the considera-
ton of Mr.. McKinley's bill until the
general subject of revenue reduction, is
taken up by the committee and this mo-
ton prevailed by strict party vote OF five
to four. The subject is expected to come
up again, at the meeting Of the committee
next Tuesday.

Recalling One or the Most AtFOciOus Muir
ders Ever Committed I'm Missouri.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, January 19.-Specisl.l
The trial of Cora E. Lee, indicted for the
murder of Mrs. Sarah Z. Graham, Septem
Der 90, 1886, was BEGUN in the Circuit Court
to day before Judge Bland, of Rolla. The
defendant and her sister, Emm Lee, were
in court, but Mrs. Molloy was absent. The
testimony heard was on the disappearance
of Mrs. Graham and the movements before
and after the disappearance OF Graham and
Cora Lee. The men who found the body
on ths Molloy farm were examined, and
the court then adjourned until tomorrow.
The testimony to-day was not at all
interesting. Not for several days
are sensational disclosures expected.
Crest interest, however is taken in the
PROCEEDINGS. The murder of Mrs. Graham
was an atrocious one-so atrocious' in fact,
that the people in whose locality 1t oc-
Cured arose in their wrath one night and
lynched Graham, concerning whose guilt
there never was particle OF doubt. AS to
Mrs, Emma Molloy and Cora Lee, there was
always some doubt as to the part they
took, if any, in the tragedy. The chances
are, Judging from the course the case has
taken in the courts, that Mrs. Afolloy was
guiltless of any completely in the crime,
although it is hard to conceive how she
could have remained in Ignorance OF its
commission.
Asso Cora Lees part, opinio differ, but
il is certain that she was the accessory alter
the fact, end % rhsps before the fact. The
parties hailed from Indiana, where Graham
had served term in the penitentiary al
Michigan City. Mrs. Molloy, who was a

Grahom alter his release, and Cora Lee was

two were criminally intimate. Graham,
if be sVer did have any regard for Mrs.
Molloy, as Mrs. Graham and scandal-mon-
gering neighbors would have it, shifted
his affections from the mistress to the maid.
Mrs Graham made her husband much
trouble over his scandalous conduct and
he readily conceded with Mrs. Molloy's
plans which contemplated moving from
Elgia TO a farm belonging to her near
Springfield, Mo.

rHEeREATFRENCH ANNIVERSARY

THE GREAT FRENCH ANNIVERSARY.
France proposes to celebrate in the year
1889 the centennial anniversary of an event
in her history of such far-reaching conse-
quences that, Notwithstanding hundred
years are gone since it transpired, we
doubt very much if its full significance is
half comprehended. The revolution which
the French people propose to celebrate
began in 1889, five years subsequent to the
close of the American revolutionary war.
1t was in 1889 that the people of Paris
stormed and demolished the bastile, and
who four years later was beheaded. Much
has been written about the French revolu-
ton now to be celebrated by an interna-
tion al industrial exhibition. France is
to celebrate her emancipation from kingly
rule, from despotism and degradation that
had existed for thousand years, and
finally produced a reaction that shook
every throne in Europe, bat out Of which
q Republic was born to live a brief period.

the Republic resppesred and still lives. To
celebrate the resolution of 1889 speaks
well for France, speaks well for the patriot
&c, hberty-loving sentiments of the French
people. Men are often heard deplorinl

OF inevitable poverty as long as those
privileges existed We have seen a sim
liar result in this country in the last TWEEN
iy'hve years. Every possible monopoly
in every species of trade has been created
by law until the Government itself was,
during Republican administration, domi.
mated and overshadowed by the vast DO wer
of accumulated wealth.
The time has come for monopolies to
stand aside. The demand Is that they shall
no longer dominate the Government. The
many are no longer to be taxed that they
may increase their riches. Laws, under
which the people have been robbed, are to
disappear. Honest methods of Govern
ment are to be reinstated. The demand is
for an era Of honesty, which is sure to be
inaugarated If Grover Cleveland is re-

BUSY BEE KEEPERS.

In ter esting Subject Considered at the An
nuaI Session of the Association.
The eighth annual meeting of the Indi-
ana Bee Keepers Association began yes
terday afternoon in the Agricultural
Rooms at the Capitol. The President, Mr..
Frank L. Dougherty, of Indianapolis, was
absent, on account of sickness, and the
meeting was called to order by DIR. Collins,
Of Mattsville, Hamilton County, Only
small number OF the Members wers pres
emit, but q larger attendance Is expected
to- day, when the bulk Of the WORK will be
done. On account of the absence
of the presiding officer and the
small attendance, she convention re-
solved itself into an experience
meeting. Many of those present related
interesting facts, soNe OF which provoked
much discussion, and the afternoon was
profitsbly taken up in this manner.
Among the prominent beekeepers from
abroad present was Mr.. Muth, of Cincin-
natl, who made some interesting remarks,
and to-day others are expected. Several
improved implements for modern bee cul-
ture were on exhibition, and plants were
also exhibited. r. S. Russell,
of townsville, exhibited a stalk
of the Simpson honey plant, and

GOVERNOR HILL, of New York, has acted
wisely In removing from Friday the
stigma of 'rhangman's day." The fool
idea that Friday is an unlucky day, or that
murderers should be hanged on Fridays,
has disgraced our civilization long enough
and Governor Hill by ordering mis-
creant to be HING on Monday is a move in
the right direction. Judges throughout

GEMS IN VERSE.
An OId-FashiOned Girl.

The Century,
Oldiashioned? Yes, must confess
The antique pattern of her dress,
The ancient frills aud furbelows,
The faded ribbons and the bows
Why she should show those shrunken charms
That wrinkled neck, those tawny arms,
lean not guess; her russell gown
Round her spare form hangs loosely down:
Her voice is thin and cracked; her eyes
And smile have lost their witchery.
By those faint jests, that tagging wit,
By each attenuated curl,
Sne surely is, must admit,
An odd, old-fashioned girl.
It's long, long since she had beau,
And now with those who sit a-rOW
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something OF the old-time grace.
She yearns to join the merry waltz,
And slyly shifts her smelling salts,
All. many an angel in disguise
May walk before our human eyes
Where'er the fever-smitten lie
In grimy haunts of poverty.
Along the dark and squalid street,
Mid drum ken tests OF boor and churlt
She gees with swift and pitying feet
This same old-fashioned girl.
