The Kansas Local War.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-Mayor Price of Woods dale, Kan, in his statement to Gov. Martin with reference to the Stevens county war, said that when the news of the killing of Sheriff Cross and several of his posse reached Woodsdale it created wild excitement A meeting was held ins the town hall. Every citizen of Woodsdale was present. Many were in favor of arming, proceeding to Hugoton, and killing as many men as pos sible, and then burning the town, in retalia- tion, but wiser counsel prevailed. While the meeting was in session Mrs. Cross, widow of the murdered Sheriff, ereceived a message from a Hugoton lawyer, telling her where the body of her husband could be found Woodsdale people have sent for 100 Winches- ters and a wagon load of ammunition, and have picketed sentinels for several miles around Woodsdale, with instructions to fire upon any Hugoton man who attempts to pass them.

THE ONLY JUsTIFICATION FOR PRO- FICTION. 8

Until the Kelly Mckinley school sue ceeded in capturing the republican party, no such doctrine as ''protection for the sake of protection"-the latest addition to the republican creed-was ever known in the history of the country. Washington knew no such doctrine; nor did Hamilton, or Madison, or Adams, or Clay, or Web ster, or Harrison, or Lincoln, or Grant, or Garfield, or McCulloch or John Sherman or Arthur. It is distinctly new article of faith--~that is, new in America. And republicans who refuse to vote with their party this fall, should insist-for it is strictly true-that those who remain in leave it, are the heretics.
 The man who dissents from the republi- can party on the tariff point, can find most excellent republican authority for his posi- ton. And this suggests Republican Justification of Protection" It will be found on page 5, volume 1 of the report of the tariff commission of 1882.
 No rates of defensive duties except for the establishment of new industries, which more than eQualiZe the conditions of labor and capital With that of foreign competitors, can be justified. Ex cessive duties, or those above such standard of equalization positively injurious to the inter est they are supposed to benefit"
 That is the only time when excessive duties" can be tolerated-when they are necessary for the establishment of new in dustries. Now it is fact that every duty we have more than covers the difference between the cost of labor here and abroad In 1880, for instance, the duty on pig iron was S7.00 per ton, while the whole wage paid to the man who made ton of iron was 8. So then, by the commission B definition, all our duties are excessive.
 Gan, any of them be justified on the ground that they are necessary to establish new industries Not easily, one would think, when it is remembered that all our industries have been in existence for ' ears, the most important one-the iron industry dating back 230 years. By this republi- cah authority, then, duties should be re- duced to that point when they will equal ize the conditions of labor and capital with those of foreign competitors" This would reduce the tariff to something like 10 per cent. The Mills bill will leave it at 40 per cent.

YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS ovERREAcH.

They Succeeded Remarkably as Horse
 Thieves, but Failed Highwsymen.
 CHICAGO, July 3o.-Edward Brown, aged 16, who came to this city from Texas about two months ago, was arrested charged with horse stealing. His record during his brief residence in Chicago has been a remarkable one. It seems that Brown, in company with another Texas boy named Crane, who has fled the city, deliberately formed partner ship for the purpose of stealing horses. They hired a barn on Warren avenue, bought hay by the ton. oats by the carload, and went into the horse stealing business. Within the past six weeks they have stolen and sold over forty horses and a number of vehicles, most Of them of the most valuable kind, and they would probably have continued their opera tions for some time longer had they not added highway robbery to their programme and stolen the watch of q blacksmith, who put the police on their track

INDIANS WILL NOT SIGN.
Their Reservation and Demur at Being Detained at the Agency-False Hopes.


 Their Reservation and Demur at Being Detained at the Agency-False Hopes. STANDING ROCK AGENCY, D. T., July 30- The Indians at this agency, who have de- cided unanimously not to consent to the opening of the reservation, but who are be- ing held at the agency in the hope that they will change their minds, have put in quiet Sabbath. Many of the young bucks have &t for their farms, but they will be brought bdck for another conference. In the council the Indians spoke strongly against the policy of the commission in keeping them here after they have rendered their decision. They say that they will not sign if kept here for six months. The commissioners are still hopeful that they may induce some of them to sign, but there is small foundation for their hopes. Sitting Bull has not returned, and will not unless forced. The meetings of to-day or Tuesday will doubtless be the last at this agency, and the commissioners will leave for Pine Ridge or Cheyenne in few days An attempt will be made to force the Indians to sign either yes or no, but the In dians are suspicious and will not touch the paper. They cannot read, and fear that a trick is about to be played on them.

The republican platform of 1884 said: ''The democratic party has failed com pletely to relieve the people of the burden of unnecessary taxation by a wise reduction of the surplus. The republican party pledges itself to correct the inequalities of the tariff and to reduce the surplus" By its opposition to the Mills bill, and its ''protection" platform the republican party puts itself on record as opposed to any honest movement to relieve the people of the burden of unnecessary taxation.
