The DudIev Mater

INDIANAPOLIS, December 8.-The federal
building was again crowded with whisper
ing witnesses, summoned to test fly before
the grand jury. The jury reached the Dud-
ley case and several witnesses were before
It. They remained in the room an unusual
~ long time. Editor Morse, of the Senti-
mel, who Is believed to be an important wit
ness IN the Dudley case. as the alleged Dud-
ley letter passed from his custody into the
keeping of the federal authorities, was con
spicuous about the ante-rOOm OF the federal
court. 1t is understood that he has been
summoned as a witness, and Will probably
be called before the jury the first witness.
The Evening News says of the Dudley case;
"a telegram from Washington shows Col
onel Dudley to be in a frame of mind over
the block of FIVE business, and the antici-
pated investigation by the federal grand
jury IN this city, and he is quoted as saying
with reference to the famous letter: When
that letter first came out I said it was a for
gerry, as published, and don't propose to
make any further statements out of court
Colonel Dudley also said that if he had any
business in Indiana he should not hesitate
to come to this state, and he intimated that
Marshal Hawkins would be given an oppOr-
tunity to place HIM under arrest within 2
few daVs.

American Federation Of labor.

PIrrsBURG, Pa, December 6.-The third
annual convention OF the American Fedora
ton Of Labor to be held at st. Louis next
week promises to be one Of the most i'm
portant labor meetings held this year. Es-
pecial interest attaches to the convention.
as the federation has made such rapid strides
within a comparatively recent time. Two
years ago, with but a few members. it was
alluded to as the infant rival of the Knights
Of Labor. To-day it has 625,O0O members,
and it is thought nearly 100, 600 more viii be
added at the coming convention by the ad-
mission of all the organized miners. 1t was
learned to-day that an important resolution
regarding assessments Is likely to be passed.
This will provide that each member be as
ssssed so cents per week, which would in q
short time amount to a large fund. it IS
proposed that a law be passed that If q
trades union is in trouble and needs assist
ance that the general head OF the federation
be appealed to and this fund DO drawn upon
10 help such unions.

A wichita Real Estate Deal.

WICHITA, KAN, December 11.-General
surprise was caused by the arrest by detec-
tivss Of Real Estate Agent A. Pervett. who
has hitherto been highly respected. It is
charged that PerVett, finding Colonel j. r.
Taylor, Of this city, possessed Of land in
Missouri which he wished to trade for Wien
Tia property, stated that he had worked mp a
deal for the land IN question. but that his
associate would not deal with COloEeI TaY-
ior. To facilitate matters the latter gave
Pervest warranty deed to the Missouri
land It is now alleged that Psrvett went to
Missouri and made q transfer Of the prop
srty TO his wife, thereby sWiudling Colonel
Taylor out Of $500.

BLOODY BEVIER.
Governor AEorshOuse on the Ground-EIe
Calls Out s. Militia Force From
kansas Cily-Thsy are
cola Timers %
A serions Fire Thoughts By Some &C. Have
Been the Work or One or the
Other Class OF Armed
Men

MAoOEs NO., December 1I.-Saturday
night a serious fire occurred at Beyier
which is said by cool citizens to have been
accidental, while others charge it upon one
or the other of the armed factions. Tie
fire destroyed a wooden row with most of
the contents. The postOffice building was
burned but everything was saved out Of It.
Governor AIOrehouse reached here Sun
day and with many others went TO Bevier.
The governor at ones commenced thor
Ough investigation of the condition of affairs
at Bevier. He visited all Of the different
factions. The unemployed miners, the
SWedes, the citizens, the railroad employees
and the coal operators.
The governor treated all sides alike, and
in making his investigation hs found the
most peculiar state Of affairs he had ever
known. Both sides well armed with nipple
ments Of war, and both sides asking for
state protection, and the citizens and the
coal operators all wanting the militia called
out. The governor Gays he thinks either
side of the two standing armies was willing
to surrender without further trouble, but
either would not give up first. Governor
MOrehOuse ordered the militia to BeVier.
which is portion of the Third regiment of
Kansas City, under command of Colonel
Milton Moore. The militia arrived at Be
Vler Monday afternoon. The governor aud
adjutant general believe the Bevier troubles
are getting under far way of a settlement,
and think within n few weeks there viii be
NJ more serious trouble existing there.
The buildings burned Saturday night were
the ones that were shot full of holes by the
SWedes on the night Of the last riot. The
streets at Bevier to-day was full of people,
many of them being visitors to see where
the fire was Saturday night and also to see
Governor MOrshOuse. The town had on
gloomy appearance. They all wanted pro
lection, as all sides seemed to think they
were in terrible danger, which was the
truth.
The disarming of both sides at Bevier
seems to be a hard thing to do. General
Jamison says the only way it can be done Is
for the governor to declare the town under
m 9rtial law. It has been suggested that the
sheriff could keep the peace with a posse of
100 men Of tbs guard, but he says there is
no use to talk about this, as he can't get the
men to go there and stay, and they would
amount to nothing If al outbreak occurred.
There are two armed bodies of men. and if
any one on either side fires of his gun,
whether accidentally or not, it is a war sig
nal and the war begins.
The Third regiment of Kansas City, re-
ported to be ordered to Bsvier, are old
timers and ready to march when called
uDOn.

arHE rARIFF Is A rAx ..


The above was what Mr.. Cleveland
and the democratic party said, all
through the late canvass. If there was
anything settled by the election it was
that the above statement was not true.
The republicans all over the country
took the opposite ground, that is that In
the main the tsriff was not a tax on tn
consumer. This was true in Kansas,
with perhaps q single exception. One
of the republican speakers in this state
declared that the tariff was a tax In.
some indefinite way. It was a blum
der and a mistake, and had ib been be.
heved by the people, Cleveland would.
have been elected. Even Kansas might
have given him its vete. The people did
not believe it and voted for Harrison.
That the tariff laws need remOdeling is
conceded by every one. But they are
60 be remOdeled by those who believe
In protection, and not by those who be-
heve In a tariff for revenue only. This
is what the late election means and this
is conceded by intelligent democrats as
veil as by republicans.-F. p. Baker

WEEPING AMONG THE CLERKS.

The Employees in the Revenue Collector.
Once at Cincinnati Given n surprise.
CINCINNATI, o., December 8.-There was
weeping and wailing and crashing of teeth
among the employees of Revenue Collector
Bishops Office when the vouchers for last
months salaries were handed out The
boys, who had been patiently awaiting their
salaries in anticipation Of the gloriou' slices
which would be set aside for Christmas
money, we're shocked on receiving their
vouchers. 1t appears that many of the men
had failed to pay their political assessments
and the sums had been advanced by Mr..
Bishop. Again, bills against the "bOys"
had been presented by their creditors to the
collector. who, DESTROYS to leave the Office
without a cloud, and to have his men do
likewise, had deducted these amounts from
the salaries of the men. The delinquents OF
the DuckWorth club were also required to
pay up, some of them two years dues. The
employees visions Of Christmas happiness
have materially diminished in consequence
of this spasm of equity on the part Of MIR.
Bishop, toward whom they entertain par
ticulariy hard feelings because OF the time
selected to square up things.

Dunla Trade Reviez

New YORK, December 7.-R. C. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade say: Re
ports of the condition of business note a
confident feeling as to the future but many
causes in different sections produce a slack
ening for the present. Much uneasiness
Is felt in portions Of the south, and coIIec-
tions are not above par, while failures in
some southern districts are many. Memphis
reports 90 per cent more than last year.
Open and mild weather in the northwest
causes uneasiness IN some trades, particu-
larly in clothing and boots and shoes, at
Kansas City and Milwaukee, and a lack Of
snow delays logging in Wisconsin.
The money markets are nowhere dis
turbed, but and s per cent is paid at many
western and southern eenters, and per
cent per month at Salt Lake. The treasury
report shows that the currency In circula-
ton, though SOL, zoo, 600 less than November
/, was about S37, SCI, 900 larger on December
/, than year ago. During the past week
the treasury has taken in S34, OOO, eco more
than it has paid out Imports for i've weeks
at New York have been only SO per cent
smaller, and exports from New York only
% per cent smaller than last year; yet ex-
ports of wheat from Atlantic ports were
only 299. $50 bushels, against 3, l7O. T63 bush
SIS, 2S7 barrels, against 1S7, $685. with an in
crease Of /, 345, 600 bushels in corn. Wheat
closes higher than a week ago; corn = cent
lower pork Is 80 cents lower and hogs 20
cents per hundred pounds. Oil has risen 2
cents; coffee q cents and bids have declined
= cent. The coal market Is reported active,
prices % to 80 cents below the schedule.
Wool has advanced, the finer grades more
than cent since the middle of November
The average Of 1O6 qualities is 2A8 cents,
ageinst a cents November Is; o cents Oc-
tOber 10; pa cents December I, 1856. The
belief that the crop and the stock on hand
have been below the estimates grows preva-
lent.
The iron market is dull and waiting, with
prices a shade weaker at Pittsburg. 1t is
now reported that steel rails have been sold
for $50 at the mill, but SIS at Pittsburg is
said to be the bottom at present. Nails are
dull at $3.50, but bar iron Is frmer. The
stock market has been depressed. On Wed
nesday the average of lowest sales for sixty
active stocks was but $58.63 per share
against S60.29 December aud $500 Sep
TENDER so. Want Of confidence in arrange
ments OF railroad managers prevail and for
eign holders appear to be selling gradually.
The business failures number sos as c3u-
pared with 232 last week and 296 the week
previous. For the cOrresp OndinR week last
year the number was 254.

Cured bat an outbreak is liable to occur
any minute A gentleman Who passed
through Bevier after the riots states that the
report that some ], 800 OF 1900 shots were
fred is not exaggerated. as is evidenced by
the bullet perforated buildings in the vicin-
ity of the depot. Dozens Of windows were
shattered and the front Of the postohios
building was riddled with lead The front
Of the building in which tbs SWedes sought
refuge was fsarfully torn and riddled, and
the wonder Is that but one man was shot
In fact that portion Of Bevier near the de-
pot resembled a battle ground, and hun
drsds OF cartridges were picked up in the
street. II Is now positively asserted that the
fire On the engine house roof was not TIE
work OF incendiaries, but caught from a 10
connective spark.

WASHINGTON, D. O., December 8.-The
secretary of the interior, sitting with the
attorney general, heard the argument of the
counsel on the part of the railroad company,
in the case Of the United States against the
st. Louis and San Francisco Railway com
pany. The case came up upon the citation
of the railroad company to show cause why
patents to about SO, 900 acres of land on the
line of this road between Springfield, Mo-,
and the western boundary of the state, al
legged to have been enormously issued about
twenty years ago, should not be cancelled.
The government claims that these lands
were reserved to the United States by the
act of June 10, 1852, and consequently did
not pass to the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road company (Of which the st. Louis and
San Francisco is the successOr) under
its grant of July q, 1866. Vice president
John O'Day, of the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco road, appeared as counsel for his COM
pany. 1t Is stated that the lands in cOntro-
versy have long since passed out of the
hands of the railroad company to settlers,
who have, in many cases, sold them to 9th
ers. Mr.. O'Day maintained that the origi-
al grant, and the latter the patents from
the government, constituted an absolute and
incOntestible title and that a recent decis-
ion of a United States court In a similar
case established his position.

Wit sHoULD BE DONE.

Now that it is an accomplished fact
that sugar can probably be made OF
sorghum, the next question to be set
tied Is, how to utilize this fact for the
best interests OF the state. It costs q
good deal OF money to put In a plant,
and from the shOrtness Of the time, in
which sorghum has to be woI ked up, the
machinery lies idle about thres-fOurths
OF the year. During that time the in
terest on the cost OF the plant goes on.
On account OF this sugar cannot be
made as cheap as it could be If the ma
chinery could be kept at work the year
round. How to remedy this is the ques-
ton. It is certain that money canDot
BE raised to put in a plant IN every neigh
borhood. Cannot a remedy for this be
brought about by establishing mills to
grind the cane and make mOlasEes IN
every place where cane can be bought TO
keep them running through the cane
season. Then let this molasses be
shipped to The mills already established
and in this manner these could be kept
running through the year. We do not
