Is With the Administration.

In an interview Henry George said: Mr..
Cleveland has set his face clearly in the d.
rection of free trade. The length or number
of the steps is not of so much Importance as
that a step has been taken President Clcvc-
land is even now in advance of his party, and
has made the issue. 1t cannot be lodged or
evadcd. l am with the administration and
opposed to a third party presidential candi-
date as long as the the administration ANA
the Democratic party tend toward freedom.
l have a strong belief that President Clcyc-
land is far more radical than his party, or
even his message, and that he will at the OPP
perfume moment take a stride that will make
his last advance look insignificant.

wise Decision.

Owing to the alarming increase Of
the attacks Of robbers upon mai.
trains in sparsedy settled regions in tho far
west, and the almost constant peril in which
the lives Of postal employees arc placed by
these %marauders, the postoficc department
has determined to arm, at the expense Of the
government, every postal employee on these
exposed railroad routes with weapons Of the
most effective kind. They will be supplied
with an abundance Of ammunition aud every
convenience necessary for prompt work, and
will thus be prepared to successfully defend
Themselves and mails from attacks of these
'road agents" however skillfully planned or
unexpectedly made. This action has been
taken at the earnest solicitation Of General
Superintendent Nash, Of the railway mail
service, who has already taken steps to carry
the order into immediate effect. 1t is said
that many Of the western railroads have de-
cidcd to arm their trainmcn, and 1t is expect
ed that with arms in the hands Of trainmen,
express messengers always armrd) and postal
employees train robbcries in the far west will
be less frequent in the future.

Winter Cholera.

Atchison, Kansas, has been afflicted with n
disease called winter cholera for many weeks,
and it is assuming an alarming phase. Drug
gists and doctors report four hundred and
fifty cases Of the disease, which is still spread
ing, with an epidemic tendency. So far 1t
has baflied the best skilled physicians. 1t is
attributed to the tearing up of the streets and
sewers, which have been replaced by new i'm
provcmcnts. Deaths from this source have
not been reported, but the citizens are much
worked up, fearing the worst may follow.

A Lively Senation i'm Des Mofnes.
There was a lively sensation in prohibition
circles at Des Moincs Sunday night re-
sulting in the arrest Of some Of the
principal ssearchcrs" on charges Of
bribery. A few days ago officers seized the
stock of Mccormick u Co., Wholesale liquor
dealers on a charge Of violating their permits.
The officers who made the charge were Com
stables Pierce, Potts and Hamilton, the trio
who have had most to do with searching ga
looms and enforcing prohibition. 1t is report
ed they went to the dealers and offered, for
consideration, to refuse tss prosecute. The
liquor men concluded to set a trap for them,
and somadc an appointment for Monday even
ing, taking with them a nunsbcro Of msrkedbills.
The constablcs walked into the trap and took
the Doodle, but had hardly left the house be-
fore warrants were sworn ut for their arrest.
Potts and Hamilton were soon arrested and
officers were after Pierce, who is
the leader of the gang. There is much cx-
element over these arrests, as temperance
people have been scandalizcd for q long time
by the way these fellows have been enforcing
the law for revenue only. The stock Of liq-
uors belonging to Mccormick g. Co. has been
released and it is pr~obablc.that the other deal
crs will fare the same way.

Reduction ofsugar Duty.

Proposed Reduction of Sugar Duty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Thc Louisiana rep
rcscntativcs in the house met today to deter
mine If possible what course they should take
in regard to the proposed reduction of the du-
ty ON sugar. They discussed tho subject for
some time wishout coming to any agreement
except upon the proposition that the sugar
duty will most certainly be reduced at this
session of congress. To this conclusion they
had all come by different ways, butthcy could
not agree npon Il policy to he followed in view
of the fact which all saw so plainly. Two Of
them announced that they proposed to act
with the revenue reformers solely because
the revenue rcformcrs proposed a reduction
of only 90 per cent, while the Republicans
propose a reduction Of SO per cent. The
other members commended that MS revenue re-
formers could not guarantee only 90 per cent,
would be taken off the best thing for the
Louisiana men to do was to hold themselves
aloof from cntangling alliances, SO US to make
their combination on the floor after the tariff
bill was reported. They are all very gloomy
over the prospect. Twenty per cent. is Ger
tain to come off the sugar duty. This, they
feel, would cripple the sugar industry of Lou
isiana, but a reduction of SO per cent. is prob
able and this would ruin 1t. They get no
comfort out of the Republican promises of
compensatory bountics. They doubt whether
they could be gotten into the bill. They
doubt whether the president would sign a bill
containing such q provision.

Evansville, Ind, Special: A report has
reached this city Of most dastardly outrage
by "White Caps" committed Friday night
near Marango, Crawford county. In that 10
c.lity reside Thomas Williams and wife, D
were subjected last year to great indtgnihes.
II is said, at the hands Of the 'White Caps.'
At the time Williams claimed to have recog-
nixed among his assailants . prominent young
man. Thomas Courtney, son OF one OF the
leading physicians Of the county. He imme
diately sought the arrest Of young Courtney.
who fearing trouble, left for parts unknown.
Nothing further was heard Of the young man
until recently, when he was located At Fort
Scott, Kan, and arrested, and, under . requi-
sitlon from Gov. Gray, he is now being
brought back. This news cnraged the young
mans friends, and they wreaked vengeance
on Williams. The reports say they went to
his house Friday night, and being refused adj
mittance, broke down the door. Williams
fired into the crowd, wounding q couple OF
men. The moi then tied Mrs. Williams to .
bed, and took her husband into the yard and
tied him to a tree. Upon Williams refusal
to make a sworn statement generating young
Courtney Of future charges, they logged him
until he became unconscious and then LETT.
Their victim was later found in q dying con-
dition. The circumstances Is said to have
aroused the entire section Of country, where
a very strong feeling has sprung up against
the repeated outrages Of the s'Whitc Caps.'
1t will certainly aggravatc the feeling against
young Courtney, who was expected to arrive
at Leavcnworth in charge Of the sheriff.
