OId.Time Scotch Horrors.

in the reign of James ]. of Scotland
there was born in East Lothia, vii
lage n few miles from Edinburgh, Saw
ney Beane, the son of poor but hard
working people. Evincing from boy
hood a hatred of all labor, and dis
playing eve kind of vicious quality,
he ut an early age abandone his home
and fed to Galloway. He was accom-
panied by a fit companion for his
crimes in the person of young woman,
a native of the same village. The
home OF this pair was in a cave of about
a mile in length and of considerable
breadth. the mouth Of which was
washed by the sea, the tide sometimes
penetrating the cave distance OF 2OO
wards. The ctims were waylaid under
cover of night on their way from coun-
try fairs, or, in the case of isolated
travellers across the country, We're
openly attacked in daylight. The
same soul sickenng mutilation was in
flicted in each case; the abdoms was
cut open and the entrails dragged out
and the body carried to the cave. 10
prevent detection they murdered every
traveller they robb d, and for years
they continued their horrible calling.
In this manner, the chronicler tells us,
they liv, d unit they had eight sons
and six daughters, eighteen grandsons
and fourteen granddaughters-all the
offspring of incest. After long career
of murder the gang were captured by
King James, who. reused to action by
the long immunity of the criminals
from detection, headed a body OF
troops and succeeded with bloodhounds
in unearthing from the cave the whole
v lie tribe, to whom was meted out
death agreeable to the lie they haa
led. The men, says the historian, had
their entrails thrown into the nre, IN II
hands and legs were severed If m thelr
bodies. and they were permitted 10

A HA NDSOME TRIBUTE TO
HARRISON.

WHEN Gen. Harrison was nominated
at Chicago, his Indiana friends said he
would grow daily in popularity; and
their statement IS abundantly verified
by the developments of the campaign.
Judge, the comic illustrated paper, says
in an editorial on this subject: ''If any
body knows OF any wiser, ADLER or more
judicious speeches than those Of Gen.
Harrison during this campaign he had
better find out the author Of them and
go to work and manufacture some him
SELF The General has spoken openly and
frankly on every topic belonging to the
campaign, and has not said word
which he or his party, dying or living,
would wish to blot. This is a great
compliment; ard it shows, if there
were. no other evidence, that the Repub-
lican standard-bearer is great man.
His Judgment is as great as his ability,
and the ability has never been called in
question. There is a new Lincoln in that
strong, just, able, fearless, discreet Indi-
and man, and if Democratic jingolsni
brings about a new crisis he will be Just
the president for the situation.

THE ISSUE BRIEFLY STATED.

The New York World admits that tie
republicans have increased the free li.st
from S59, 900 in 1886 to 1921, O0O,-
900 (says Rufus Fleming in the Cincin-
natl TILnes-Star). But it says that "tks
enlargement is almost wholly due to the
free-listing Of articles not produced in
TINS country" like tea, coffee, spices, etc.
Well, these are very important articles
for both the poor and the rich. are they
not? They enter into universal corsnmp-
ton. A duty Oh tea or coffee could be
nothing but a revenue tariff, and the
nearest approach to a direct AK possible
in custom duties, without any copper
sating benefit, for there is no home com
petition with the foreign producer. We
have here very clear illustration of the
democratic policy. 1t is the English
policy-practical free trade Revenue for
the government should be raised, say
these economists, by duties upon such
products of other countries as are not
produced in this country. This elimi1l-
ates altogether the protective principle.
1t denies protection to our industries,
abandons the working millions to a
struggle on even terms with foreign IA.
Dor. Republicans, on the other hand,
hold the doctrine that everything not
raised or made in the United States
should be free of duty and that in pro.
viding revenue for the government duties
should be so laid as to encourage home
industry, diversity employment and pro-
mote the interests of labor. The contest
this year is between these two policies.
