Mr.. BLAINE's latest speech is hot shot in
the Cleveland camp. He points out tkat if
the trusts" concerning which there is so
much talk, are the result of the protection
system then Mr.. Cleveland is inconsistent
in his dead silence concerning the great
sugar trust and the tariff on sugar. If,
says Mr.. Blaine, the Presidents message is
true, then he himself is responsible for
levying the S58,OO0,OO0 of duties last year
on sugar, " to be paid out of the pockets of
the consumers" The orator further
charged, and the shot goes to the center,
that when the Mills bill was under con-
sderation the sugar trust people appeared
before the committee and advocated tariff
policy that would net the trust Sc, 900. 900.
The responsibility therefore, for any ad-
vance in sugar rests with Mr.. Cleveland
and the WAYS and Means Committee. An
other home thrust was, that about all the
great trusts are fsthered and officered by
Democrats, and that the chief of all is
purely Democratic-the whisky trust
After the war closed the Democracy, nota-
bly, at the South, demanded the destruction
of the internal revenue system and the
taxes on whisky and tobacco, denouncing
them as war taxes and incompatible with
peaceful conditions. But the free traders
soon saw that to abandon that system would
put the Government to sole reliance upon
customs duties for its revenue, whereupon
they whipped around and now occupy
ground Numerically opposed to their
former position, and hence the whisky
ring, backed by the Democracy, to-day
asserts that it has the power to dominate in
the politics of the party, and to dictate, as
it has done, the policy of the nation.

We call attention to an article in another
column headed Patrick Egan." 1t en-
braces a number of letters by prominent
Irish-Americans, in which they set forth
their reasons why protection =" is the true
policy for America. The letters are direct,
emphatic and admit of no doubt concern
ing the views OF these men who have lived
under both the protective and the free trade

A PRECIOUS YALE FRESHMAN.

Walter Phelps Dodge, n very youth
FIJI Yale freshman of high family, is
the central figure in an extraordinary
episode which has thrown New York
upper tendon into frOth of gossip
and excitement the past few days, and
has brought the boy himself into no
toriety that will cling to him when his
fanciful head is winter and barer than
today. Dodge is the IS year-old son
of Prof. d. Stewart Dodge, and a
grandson of the late William E. Dodge,
and he received his education in Eu-
rope till he entered Yale last fall. He
went to New York for the holidays,
and while staying at the house of his
uncle, George E. Dodge, of Madison
avenue, he met for the first time on
Christmas day Miss Lillian Stokes, the
17-years-Old daughter of Thomas
Stokes, his fathers cousin. The young
woman is the heiress to 5000, 900 but
as yet she is little more than a child
and entirely unused to the world, her
invalid mother, sister of William
Walter Phelps, having died not long
ago. George E. Dodge is the husband
of another sister of Congressman
Phelps, and is therefore the uncle of
both the boy and the girl. There are
many other bonds between the three
families that have been mentioned by
intermarriages as we'll as by business
connections. The relationships of the
Phelpses and Dodges, the Stokeses and
Dodges, and the Stokeses and Phelpses
are hardly to he understood without a
map. Under all these complications
the astOnishment of the various fami-
lies concerned may be imagined upon
the appearance in morning paper
Friday of the announcements of young
Dodge's engagement to Miss Stokes.
And the astOnishment was changed to
Indignation when just as they we're
about to look into the matter, the fol-
lowing advertisement appeared in
three leading Sunday newspapers:
Dodge-Stokes.- on Sat
urday, Dec. 81, 1887, Lily, daughter of
Thomas Stokes, to Walter Phelps
Dodge. No cards.
Immediately upon the appearance of
this surprising paragraph a family
council was convened which was at
tended by all the Stokeses. The
DOdges likewise :counseled together,
and announced that they would ex-
pend $4,000 to find out the author of
the hoax. William Walter Phelps

Perfidy Toward Yaqui Indians.

Strange and startling developments
have attended the past few days in the
Yaqui river campaign, says despatch
from Nogales, Ariz. Yaqui war has
been carried on with the understand
ing that at its close the land of the
Yaqui and Mayo rivers was to be di-
vided in severalty among the Indians,
and by making the Yaquis and Mayos
believe this, the majority surrendered.
1t has now come to light that the
Mexican gun-boat Democratic has Sc
cretly removed at various times over
1900 indians from the river. They
have been taken to the state of Colima,
where they are dying of fever and
other diseases. Chief Cajama, who
was supposed to have been shot accord
ing to military customs of the country,
is said to have been assassinated. He
was taken aboard gun boat at Quay
mas. and at dead of night the vessel
steamed down to the mouth of the
Yaqui river, where he was given a
horse and escort to return to his viii
lage, was thought, but it is charged
that while leading the party one of his
escort rode up behind him and shot
him in the back. After he fell several
other balls were fired into his body.
On what pretense the Indians were
invited aboard the Democratic is not
known. Land grabbers, who are said
to be very near the federal govern
ment, are gradually absorbing all till
able land in the valley. The remain
der of the Yaquis are disaffected, and
two OF three light skirmishes which
have taken place the past month, it is

caused a denial of both the engage
ment and marriage to be sent forth by
the Associated press. Thomas Stokes
also published a card denying the re.
ports in the most emphatic terms, ana
young Dodge himself came out with a
card disclaiming the marriage, and
ending as follows:
And allow me to add that soon
hope to have the pleasure of discover
ing and Furnishing, as he deserves, the
miserable fellow who has taken such a
liberty with my name.
Then the police and the reporters
took it up. 1t was found that lad
employed in a stationery store had
carried the advertisement to the varl-
Gus papers, and he said it had been
given him by a young fellow whom he
did not know. Young Dodge profess
ed the keenest distress, and said he
thought it was the joke of some OF his
college chums who had come on to
New York with him, naming cousin
as the most likely culprit. But some
how the young mans conduct created
mistrust, and he was watched. He
spent New Years night at his uncle's
house, but the next morning before
daylight he disappeared leaving be-
hind him beautifully worded note.
In this he stated that he felt all too
keenly that suspicion had, though un-
Justly, as he termed it, been cast upon
him, and he could not bear to rest I'M
der such an imputatiOn. Therefore,
after sleepless night, he had resolved
to go out from under his uncle's roof
and remain aloof until his vindication
should be established. In his room,
however, were found bits of charred
paper in his handwriting which his
uncle put together and translated as
follows:
Dodge.-Entered into rest January
l, 1888. Lillian, daughter of Thomas
Stokes and the beloved wife of Walter
Phelps Dodge. The friends and rela-
tives are invited to attend the funeral
at the residence of her late grandfather,
Frederick III. COssitt, corner of Madison
avenue and Thirty fourth street. Please
omit flowers.
Whatever object the youth had in
this, it served to confirm suspicion,
and when on Monday he telegraphed
from Belvidere, N. j., the home of
William Walter Phelps, demanding
that tAle of the StOkeses meet him at
the Buckingham hotel Monday even
ing, detectives were sent to welcome
him. He had a lawyer with him who
was to serve suits for defamation of
character, but the lad who had taken
his advertisement was there and iden-
tilted him at once. Prof. Dodge, who
had been telegraphed for the day be-
fore, now appeared and confronted
Walter. There was scene, but the
young man remained obdurate till
about midnight, when he had to choose
between going to prison and an open
confession, and wisely accepted the
alternative. A confession was accord
ingly drawn up and signed and APP
peared in the New York morning pa
pers. What object the young man had
can only be conjectured, but the i'm
preston seems to be that he intended
to frighten the girl into a marriage and
thus get control of her money.

Striking Aspects of the Old Year.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
If one were called upon to give the
feature of the year, it would be enough
to note the tendency of corporations
and mOneyed men to combine for con-
certed action, which has challenged
also the organization of popular de-
lenses Thus the policy of the whisky
associations to unite their forces for
certain ends in certain states has con-
solidated the prohibitionists as they
have never been before. The gauge of
battle has been followed from state to
state, the advantage upon the whole
being on the side of the few.
While the year furnished long list
of defalcations and breaches of trusts,
perhaps above the average, the wheels
of justice have turned with notable
rigor when all the circumstances are
considered. The conviction of several
of the Chicago boodlers, the breaking
up of the jury fixing ring at San Fran
cisco, the imprisonment of Harper, the
Cincinnati bank wrecker, and even the
progress made in the Sharp case at
New York, his conviction and disgrace
from which new trial will not free
him in public estimation, may all be
noted as evidences of the course of
justice. At Chicago, San Francisco
and New York, the prosecuting attor-
neys were compelled to face impudent
Opulent politicians, and the political
air of each city has been much purer
in consequence.
The distinguished dead of the year
include Mark Hopkins, Henry Ward
Beecher, Prof. Youmaus, james B.
Eads, John G. SAKE, John II. Raymond,
Ben: Perley Poore, Bishop Harris and
Daniel Manning

But 1t Doesn't Prohibit.
Woodstock Standard

1t is said the prohibitionists of this
state will organize in all the counties
preparatory to the campaign of this
year. The republican party has been
organized in all the counties many
years for prohibition and other useful
things, and through their organization
the state has enjoyed prohibition a
third of century.

novelist, and to Joseph Marryatt, the
author. Mrs. Sumner was born in
Roxbury, Mass, in 1914, and removed
with her parents To Bellows Falls
when she was child.
