Hard Work Necessary.

The Republican danger lies in placing
too much confidence in the manifest drift
of events, and failing to put forth those
strong and unremitting efforts which are
essential to make the result sure and the
victory splendid. There is no disputing
the fact that the situation looks very
bright. 1t is possible to carry every
northern state for Harrison and Morton
and the policy Of protection, and to make
some inroads in the south, in the con.
gressional districts, if not among the
electors. But these are results which
will not fall into our hands, but must be
seized with strenuous exertion.-Bostor

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu.
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the "blanket-
sheet style of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry

Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense 70
present it in concise form. The result of such a
condition of affairs is that THE DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced SO phenomenal a Jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the cheap paper should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced cotemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price.
"The difference of revenue between the two

cent, and the higherpriced "blanket-sheet, !" the
latter throws away in useless and unasked for
size, that not only is of no worth to the reader,
but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
to CLEAN what is of real news interest from a mass
Of verbiage and worthless application.
1t IS because It's managers have been wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements of the best American journalism of to-
day that THE DAILY News is the best and most
popular general family newspaper published in

What Free Trade pia for England.

The free trade attorneys claim as the
chief merit of proposed tariff reduction
that it will reduce prices. And in this they
r at least partially correct. The recent
experience of England under the fiscal
policy low advocated for this country
shows that cheaper wheat from India,
cheaper meat from America, cheaper wool
from Australia and South America, have
made Improbable lands at home; that
values of English farms have fallen of
40 to 10 per sent, while each year large
tracts are withdrawn from tillage.-New

Tariff and the Labor Troubles.

Some Democratic newspapers and polit-
ical agitators who talk at random and
merely for effect, without ~endeavoring to
s~ubstantiate their statements, have as
serted that the protective system of this
country was the primary cause of strikes
and labor troubles. They declare that
with free trade these disturbances will
cease. Why is 1t, then, that the card
room hands of an English firm have
threatened to strike unless their wages
are advanced 10 per cent, thereby throw
ing $4,000 people out Of employment

vile, Having Been in Jail
There.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-The man who as
sisted the murderer of Millionaire Smell
by standing watch outside while the
residence was being robbed is behind
prison bars. The arrest was made to-
day, land the police have already secured
full confession from the prisoner. 1t
confirms beyond doubt the statement
that the murderer is young William B.
Tascott, the son of Col. j. B. Tascott,
the wealthy manufacturer. The man
arrested to-day made Tascott's acquaint-
ance this winter in the Garden City
billiard hall, on West Madison street,
and for several weeks they have been
together every day. The morning
that Mr.. SnelPs house was to be robbed
he and Tascott went to the house to-
gether. TascOtt went inside, leaving
his comrade on the sidewalk. After the
murder was committed, TascOtt hur-
ried out, grasped his companion by
the arm, and together they went to Tas-
colts lodgings on West Madison street,
where they remained several hours.
TascOtt told all. and the other was so
Mortified and so afraid that he would be
charged with the murder itself, that he
refralned from giving information to the
police. He made sworn statement to-
day, and satisfied the police that he was
telling the truth. The police refused to
reveal the name of the prisoner.

A Born Criminal.

CHICAGO. Feb. 1S.-Tascott seems to
bea born criminal. When very small
boy he exhibited marked ability as a
thief. A boyhood friend of his, talking
about him, to-day said: ''Tascott used
to steal things out of stores and sell
them to make pocket money. He was
bright young fellow; wonderfully smart
in every way. He used to 60 to Lyon &
Healy's and steal flute OF a fife, or
some such thing and it. He attended
the Brown school when / first knew him.
He did not like his step-mether; said
she never spoke kind word to him in
her life, and that his home was hateful.
Sometimes he ran away from home. He
was always talking of going away per-
manently. About four years ago he did
go away. / saw no more of him until
about three months ago. He told me
that he had knocked around good deal
and finally got a position in railroad
office in Jacksonville, Fla. He said he
had made up his mind to be crook,
having been driven from home and be-
ing without honest means of support"
A curious assertion is made this even
ing by persons who should he in posi-
ton to know. 1t is that young Tascott
was not, after ALL the son of Col. Tas-
colt. The story is that the colonel
adopted the murderer when the latter
was babe of three months.

Immediately on being received. The
detectives exchanged significant glances
and 1T was plain from their manner that
the news was in line with one of their
principal theories as to the direction of
the flight of the murderer. This much
was later virtually admitted by Detec-
tive Elliott, who said TascOtt was known
to have previously been in California
and to have expressed more than once a
marked inclination to return there at
the first opportunity. Detective Elliott
showed dispatch just received from
the warden of the Kentucky peniten-
tiary, where TaScOtt had been incarcer-
ated, stating that the fugitive's body
was peculiarly marked, affOrding GER
tain means of Identification. The
young fellow has scar on the right
hip, where he was shot when attempt
ing to escape from Frankfort prison.
There were also scars, some, perhaps.
yet unhealed, ON the right leg and on
the knees and on both elbows, the re-
suit of having to wear ball and chain.
The detective was anxious the informa-
ton should be spread, especially to Cal

cott's upper front teeth exhibit gold

tending along the edge. The filling
seems to be from the interior, but shows

A JACK IN THE BOX.
The Troublesome Chinese Question
Bobs Up Again.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.--The senate
committee on foreign relations heard ar
guments to-day from the Pacific coast
delegation in congress i'll favor of fur
ther legislation to restrict the immigra-
Jion Of Chinese. Senator Stewart ex-
planned the provisions of the bill re-
Gently introduced by him amending the
Chinese restriction act. He said that
under the present law Chinese enter
this country i'll large numbers through
British and Mexican ports. Frequently,
when the collector of the port refused
to allow Chtnamen to land, they would
apply for writS OF habeas corpus, which
strung up in the United States
courts an immense amount of
business, to the detriment of
other matters pending before them.
These applications, he said, were gen
orally successful and the Cinnamon
gained entrance. He thought the courts
should be relieved OF these Chinese
cases, and that the secretary of the
treasury should,as proposed by the bill,
be given enlarged powers in prescribing
rules and regulations regarding certifi-
Gates granted to the Chinese. The prac-
tical administration of the existing
restriction laws was exceedingly diff
cult and in attempting to evade their
provisions the Chinese would invent all
manner of schemes. He held that the
various provisions in the bill would in
yolve no violation of the existing treaty.
Representative Morrow, of California,
said the restriction act was not very
effective in its administration. 1t was
the duty of the Pacific coast delegation
in congress to take action looking to
some radical Improvements in the ex-
listing treaties. When the China
man was refused admission at one
port, he always found some other
loop hole by which to enter. He hoped
for speedy settlement of the matter,
so that people fran the eastern part of
the United States, desiring to emigrate,
would not be deferred by apprehen-
sions of future trouble in regard to the
Chinese. Other gentlemen present
spoke in similar strain. Senator Sher-
man suggested that the members of the
Pacific delegation meet and formulate
a bill which will correct all the evils
complained of, and which will not vio-
late any of the provisions of the existing
treaty with the Chinese nation. Con-
siderable discussion followed among
the members of the committee and the
gentlemen present in regard to the de-
fects of past legislation ON the subject,
and the probable effectiveness of that
proposed, after which the committe ad-

FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.
Terrible Work bY an Insane Man
in Iowa.

BURLINGTON, To-, Feb. 1S.-In Jack
son township, near this city, Adam
Writ, between sixty and seventy years
old. has been living with his son, Will
lam Writ, but not in the most happy
manner. Yesterday the old man at
tackled his daughter-in-law with a corn
knife and cut her in terrible manner,
though she managed to escape from
him and make her way to where her
husband was at work, mile away.
Then old man Writ attempted to
murder his two little granddaughter,
aged six and four years. but they elnded
him and hid in the bushes. Writ then
set fire to the house in which were two
more of his grandchildren, aged four
weeks and two years, and the house
and contents, including the two chill
dren, were burned. Writ proceeded to
the hay NOW and hanged himself.
When Mrs. William Writ reached her
husband and apprised him of what had
occurred, he carried the bleeding
woman to house in the neighborhood
and hurried to his home, only to find it
pile of ruins. The two eldest children
were found in the brush by neighbors
who had been attracted by the fire.
The old man is believed to have been
insane. 1t is understood that old man
Writ has wife living from whom he
has been divorced.
