4 Gigantic Scheme for Robbery.

Salt is a necessity. It is universally
used. Not only necessary to man, but
to many beasts as we'll. The farmer
must have large quantities for his
domestic animals ard for curing pur-
poses in addition to the ordinary culina-
ry use. Salt IS protected" by high
tariff. This is alleged to be for the
ben.fi Of labor, bat labor only gets %
per cent of the total prod which is
furnished by nature free OF charge.
And now a salt trust is being organized
in this country to extort unreasonable
prices from the people for sr article
they cannot do without.
a salt trust has already been organ
izsd in England and has raised prices
inordinately. The American agents for
this trust are Thurber. Wyisnd & Co.
The head of this firm Fl. K. Thurber is
the man who circulated 5 100000 Re
publican campaign tracts, including
forged extracts from the London Times,
to save the tariff He is an extensive
importer. This firm is at the head OF
the trust being organized in this coun-
thy. Next to it is Levi =. Morton.
Vice President-elect on the monopoly
t. riff ticket
The proposition is to put a part OF
the trust stock In the hands of the Eng.
l!sh salt trust. The inteation is to ad p
vance the price far beyond the English
extortion plus the tariff. The stock
given the English trust is compensation

SENATOR EDMCNDs, OF Vermont.
speaking in approval of the senate tariff
bill on Monday, showed conclusiveiy
that he is welded to the interes; OF the
monopolisis and that he proposes TO
stand in line with the gilt-edged Iegis-
Iators who favor unnecessary and un-
j1st taxation.
He bad the impotence 20 say that the
American wo: kingmsn, # he behdred
himself. could live in luxury, and N fact
be drew a remarkably pleasant picture
OF the condition OF the wage worker Of
this country.
OF course Senator Edmunds said
nothing about the fact that since The
Oh of November hundreds OF work
shops throughout the country have
closed for an indehnite period. nor did
he say anything about the reduction in
wages that has been made by some OF
the very protected manufacturers who
used the Republican pay envelopes TO
intimidate their men just before the
late election. Senator Edmunds has a
convenient memory.
There is a vast difference, indeed,
between the actual life of the Ameri-
can worSingman and his condition as
depicted In the oratoricsl chrome of
the senator from Vermont. Senator
Edmunds resembles Jerome OF Prague
in personal assearance but not in de yo-
tiou 10 the truth.

No news has been received at the
navy department in regard to the United
States steamers Gslens and Ysutic
since their departure from New York
and zone is expected for several days
yet. II is the impression of many naval
officers that the steamer II .ytisn Re-
public will have been surrendered and
be on her way to New York before the
Galena and Ysntic arrive at Port au
Prince, ara in that case. the matter of
indemnity will then be the only thing to
be settled. The United States Steamer
Richmond will be ready for sea to-day,
and the United States steamer Ossipee
a. Norfolk by the first of the month.
The Intention was 10 send these vessels
to Hsyti as soon as they could be pre-.
pared, but. from present indications, IL
is not regarded as at all probable thai
either of them will go there.

Fatal Fight With Negroes.

WEST POINT, Miss. December IL
News reached here this morning of a
horrible tragedy enacted at the quiet
little village of WAhalak, forty miles
south OF this city, on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad last night, where five men
were killed outright and six wounded,
three mortally. by volley OF lead from
the hands of desperate mob OF blood
thirsty negroes. The only particulars
to be had are as follows Some two
mon hs ago a white farmer living a few
miles from the almost desolate village
lost his house, together with eight or
ten bales of cotton, 10y fire which was
at once directed - one or two negroes
living in the vicinity. with whom the
farmer had had some trouble.
The officers 10 the meantime had been
searching for evidence against negroes.
Y esterday morning, sufficient evidence
having been secured, the white man
swore out a warrant for the negro's ar-
rest and Constable seth Cobb went TO
the negro's house to execute It when
he was attacked by number of negroes
and beaten. He then Summoned a
possee OF twelve men and went yesfer-
day evening to arrest the negro.
The woods in the vicinity were scour-
ed but without result. Not a trace OF
him could be found, and it was decided
by the posse to act in q body and sur
round his premises.
They had proceeded only a few miles
! in the direction of the negro's house
when ,rom an ambush came a deadly
volley. Fifty we'll armed negroes COM
posed the mob. After every white man
bad fallen 10 the ground :he negroes
dispersed
The news spread rapidly and the
negroes were strongly reinforced.
Wshalak telegraphed along the line for
help and Meridian responded with
about seventy.dve well-armed men.
They were Joined at every station, and,
reaching Wshalak, marched immediate
ly to the scene of bloodshed. The ne
groes were barricaded, and refused to
surrender or give up the dead whites
AT noon the forcss were supposed to be
about equal. and what the result is no
one here knows.
This afternoon, news was received
that the belligerent negroes have re-
treated 20 the swamps and are stubborn,

MIL Blaine be Premier

There is quite furry in leading Re-
publican circles over the premature an
nouncrment that Blaine had been
invited by Harrison to the Premiership
of the new administration. and that the
proffer had been accepted. The cir
cumstantial statement of the New Y Ork
Press. in which Elkins is a controlling
spirit il not an owner, and the recent
VISIT OF the younger Harrison TO ElkiDs
in New York. compelled the leaders for
The first time to squarely face the pro-
babilisy of Bla:ne's selection as
Premier.
The first and most important response
To the suggestion of B:aine as Premier.
came from the New York Union
League Cub. At a large meeting held
on Friday evening last, resolutions we're
unanimously adopted striking out frUm
the shoulder against Blaine and Platt
as Cabinet expectants. They call
upon the new President to select lis
own Cabinet regardless OF all At
temprs at dictation from any quarter"
and denounce ''the studied efforts that
are being made with undisguised i'm
pertinenca, to force bis hand and to put
opon him clamerous applicants for
places IN his Cabinet upon the ground
of alleged partisan services or pecuniary
contributions or local control"
That the selection of Blame as Pre-
mier OF The new administration would
start Harrison with general distrust
among business circles as well as among
a large portion Of the best elements of
earnest Republicans, is fact that no
intelligent observer Of the situation can
overlook or DISPUTE. In this State it
would speedily precipitate a conflict OF
grave proportions, and all the combined
forbearance and skill of leaders could
not avert it. 1t IL the only serious
mensnce TO Quay's mastery not only in
Penbsylvania but in the nation as the
accepted leader, ana 1t Is to day the most
serious nenance 20 the success OF the
Harrison administration.
1t is idle to assume that Blaine could
be Premier and not control the favors
or the new administration. He is over
loaded with active, ambitious friends
who have long services TO present for re-
ward, and he has q multitude of enc
mics TO punish. All the other competi-
tors OF Harrison combined have not so
many friends TO make claims upon them
or so many enemies TO invite resent
ment as has Blaine, and he must sub
stsntialIy rule in the Cabinet or create
the widest and keenest disappoint-
ments. II be fails to rule, he would of
necessity soon retire, and the breach
between Blaine and Harrison would be
only more intense than i. Blaine had
not been appointed.
The Blaine problem is the most seri-
Gus one that the rew President must
solve in advance Of his entrance upon
his high Office. and his solution OF it will
do much TO inspire confidence or arouse
disirust In lis administration. Tue
bold admonition OF the New York Un-
ion League clearly expresses the s-nti-
merits of the great mass OF the Repub-
lican people on the Cabin ct, and there
is safety TO Harrison only in obeying it.
II be shall obev it. Blaine cannot be

Aquarianism In Politics.

The Voice, the aole and genial organ
or the Prohibitiouists, rejoices over an
increase OF 100 600 in the acQusrian
vote OF the country within four yesry.
From 150 600 rha vote has increased to
q little over $50 600. The party has
gained about 67 per cent, and, reckon
ing by percentage of growth, this is
quite encouraging. But as the Prnhi-
bitten vote is only about one fiftIeth of
the total vote Of the country ir will be o
long time before the party will be likely
to attain majority, even at this rate
OF growth.
In Pennsylvania the party appears to
be at a standstill. This largely IL not
wholly due to the popular approval OF
the High License law. The law is re-
garded with so much favor that very
few of It's enemies have obtained seats
10 the State Legislature. 1t is probable
that there will not be in the next L-gis
lature a bakers dozen OF distinctive
ProhioitioDists. Yet for the sake OF
this small faction it is proposed to put a
prohibitory constitutional amendment
TO popular vote in Pennsylvania.
The defeat of such an amendment
| might be nationally expected from the
numerical weakness of the faction ad-
| vocaiiBg IL, and from the success of the
High License policy. But should the
amendment be carried by reason OF a
transient emotional wave. as has been
the case in few other States, the High
License system would be destroyed,
while the Prohibition substitute would
inevitably prove failure. The result
would be free and unlicensed liquor
traffic throughout the Common wealth.
II is doubtful whether any Pennsyl-
vania Legislature would pass the laws
necessary TO enforce q prohibitory
amendment and even If adopted II
might remain mere empty proclama.

enforce Prohibition in any city or large
