THE RUIN NOT AT HAED.

It is now going on two months since the Mills bill passed the house, and yet the ruin predicted by the republicans has not fallen on the country. Reports from the mercantile agencies and commercial centers show that business generally is in hcalhy condition and the sunshine of prosperity is over the land. Wool is going up in price, the albeit it has been placed on the free list by ''southern brigadiers." " That the business pulse is beating strong and healthy is shown by the New York Tribune, that lusty protection organ whose bellows worked so vigorously against the wicked Mills bill. The Tribune says: The sum- mer months have missed their customary commercial Hull this year and an commonly large or steady business is noted in most lines of business"
 This Is too devilish bad; the country is real mean that it don't go to the "dem- hilton bowwows" because republican scare crows cackle their silly cry of free trade at the Mills bill and the democratic policy of free trade. Somehow the country failed to go out of business in 1884 when the ring ruled republican party was turned adrift; in spite of all the gloomy prophe- cieS and dire predictions it has persistentIy remained at the old stand And it will be found at the old stand after next Noyem- Der when the people are going once again to place the honest and courageous Grover Cleveland at the helm.
 The country prospers; it is safe in the hands of the democratic party.

HARRISON makes touching picture when he demands high taxes to keep up wages. In 1877 he thought dollar day was very good pay for workingmen. Truly, they be different times when the votes of workingmen count.

THE RED BANDAUA

We believe ir thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the qemand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our laud No The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman 61 Gray, Baus, and Wilcox X White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Gail and examine stock

Too Much Rain in Arkansas.

New ORLEANS, La, September RE
ports received from various parts of Arkan-
sas all complain of having too much rain.
Cotton fields which two weeks ago gave
promise of fair harvest are now impass-
able on account of mud and water. Picking,
which was about to be begun, has been in
definitely postponed. The half grown bolls
are nearly all rotting and shedding. Cater
pillars have made their appearance in Chico
county and are eating very fast in localities.
From along the lower river reports are re-
ceived that on some low lands cotton is
shedding rapidly. In many fields the sprouts
of balls are as numerous as blossoms in
June.
A special from Vicksburg says: For seve-
raj days past heavy incessant rains have
prevailed throughout the whole of the agri-
cultural sections. Around Vicksburg the
damage is heavy. The recent storms did
great damage, and following on top of that
came excessive rains. They about completed
the damage. Considerable cotton is lost in
such weather. The damage from the falling
of in the crop occas;oned by the storms Is
variously estimated at from 25 to 80 per
cent.

Anarchists Wave Red Flag and Ge,
Themselves Into Trouble at q Labor
Meeting.
CLEVELAND, O., September 3.-An i'm.
mense blood red flag was carried through
the leading streets of Cleveland to-day, and
behind it were scores of anarchists: To-
the men who followed it are in
80 called, and 1000 men formed in
line and with music and waving
emblems paraded the downtown thorough
fares and then withdrew to garden in the
suburbs. The anarchists were in the pro-
cession, and, declaring themselves to be
carpenters, they were permitted to retain
the place they had quietly slipped into. At
the garden they unfurled their
flag and refused to acknowledge
the stars and stripes. The committee in
charge induced them finally to put their
flag away. When the committeeman turned
their backs, however. the anarchists seized
their emblem of blood and waved it aloft
triumphantly. Immediately they we're at
tackled by hundred honest workmen.
The flag was trampled under foot and the
anarchists one after another went to ground
in the fight that continued for at least ten
minutes. All the anarchists but five escaped
the three detectives who were present,
ing and lame and will hardly appear
in public for some time to come. The names
of those arrested are: Ben Hill, carpenter;
Emil Schilling, machinist; and Godfrey
Stermeyea, Charles Lubelin and Gustave
Buetner, carpenters. They were locked up
at the Forest street police station charged
with riot.

A Woman Knocked Down by an On.
known Man and Murdered.
LONDON. September la strangely hor-
rible murder took place at White chapel
yesterday morning. The victim was q
woman who at 3 o'clock was knocked down
by some man unknown and attacked with q
knife. She attempted to escape, and ran a
hundred yards, her cries for help
being heard by several persons in
adjoining houses, but no attention
was paid to her cries. When found at day.
break she was lying dead in another street
several hundred feet from the scsne of the
attack. Her head was nearly severed from
her body, which was literally cut to pieces,
one cash reaching from the plevis to the
breast bone. The strangest part of the af-
fair is. this is the third murder of the kind
which has been done lately. Inthe last one,
two weeks ago, the victim was stabbed
thirty nine times. In the case before
it, some months ago, the victim was
stabbed with stick, which was
forced through the body. AL three victims
have been of the lowest class. All three
murders have taken place in the same dis
trict at about the same hour and have been
characterized by the same inhuman and
ghostlike brutality. The people have con-
cluded that the same man did all three mur-
ders, and that most dangerous kind of a
lunatic is at large. The excitement is in
tense over the matter, and the women in
White Chapel are afraid to stir out of doors
after dark.

The Ute and Pluto War.

DENVER, CoLo., September 3.-Reporte
have been received of a fight in Utah be-
tween the Utes and Piutes. The most trust
worthy information at present is in the fol-
lowing letter received by George w. Brook.
''Mrs. Cunningham surprised us last night
by coming with the mail carrier. in the
buck board from Paradox Valley. She was
frightened by the Indians. Two of the
Pittsburg Cattle company's cowboys had
been hunting horses and had them in corral
about four miles from the company's camp.
As they were saddling their horses an Indian
ran up to them and cried out ''Go white man
Indian heap fight" The Utes beat the Pi-
utes. The boys half scared to death, rode
as hard as they could IN to camp. As soon
as Mira Cunningham saw them she knew
something was wrong. She told them to sad
die up the horse for her and take her to
Paradox. While the boys we're saddling the
horse they heard the Indians whoop and
they saw one dead Indian and several woun-
ded ones as they came out. The indians
were still fighting when they came away"

Robert Garrett's Condition

New YORK, September 1.-The Tribune
this morning prints the following as the
statement of one who knows Robert Gar
rett's condition. Mr.. Garrett is very sick
man, and don't think he will ever recover.
His mind is entirely gone. His speech is
failing him and when he becomes violent,
he cannot say a word, but makes
a peculiar noise with his throat.
He is frequently crying and
yelling, and when night comes his noise and
yells are something frightful. He will stare
around him and with his eyes bulging out
and crouching with terror he will call for
his assistants to come and take the men
away that are trying to kill him. The win
dows have been guarded with heavy iron
gratings to prevent him from jumping out.
He is constantly watched by three men in
the day and three at night. He does not eat
at the same table with his wife and father
in-law, who are here with him. He is fed
on milk almost constantly. His meals are
served to him in his room. When he has a
quiet spell his attendants take him for short
walks in the grounds.

it Unfounded.
WAsAnoToS, d. G., September 1.-No in
formation has been received at the state de-
partment concerning the rejection Of the
Uh1neee treaty cabled last night from Lon-
Ion. In absence of official report on the
sublece from the American minister in
China, the secretary Of state declines to be
lntervlewed IN regard to the matter.
Cahfornia representatives in the house
we're all much interested in the news pub
!lshed this morning to the effect that the
chinese government had refused to ratify
the new treaty with the United States. Mr..
Morrow said that the senate amend
ment to the treaty submitted by
the president was vital; without It the
treaty would be ineffective. It was this
amendment which had caused the rejection
Yet it was inserted to meet the decision of
the supreme co2rt and the amendment vas
IN the very language of that part of tho de-
cision which pointed out the stipulation
necessary to exclude the Chinese from the
United States, that no persons should be
permitted to enter the United States with
out the ce:tifcation provided for in tie
treaty. 1t had been the purpose of congress
70 prevent ''prior residents" from returning
to the United States for otherwise all China
might come in under the claim of prior res
idence, which it would be impos-
sible to disprove. Mr.. Morrow added that
It the news OF the rejection of the treaty
should be confirmed the California men,
bers would ask congress to pass bill re-
Quiring the president to give six months
notice to the chinese government that there
after no Chinese, except diplomatic corps
and other officers of the Chinese govern
ment, will be permitted to enter the United
States. Such notice would amount to re-
vocation and an abrogatiOn of all previous
rights of China to enter the United States.

A Kentucky Killing

OwENsBoRo, KY. August 3i.-News of
what seems to have been cowardly murder,
committed at West Louisville, about ten
miles from this city, at o'clock this after
noon, has just reached here. William
Murphy, one of the best farmers Of the
county, was shot down in apparent cold
blood by James Har0esty, a principal mer-
chant of the village. A few minutes before
the killing occurred, Murphy entered store
next door to Hardesty's place, and while he
was talking to the proprietor Hardesty came
to the door and said pleasantly to Murphy
that he would like to "see him minute"
when he was at leisure. Murphy Immediate
ly stepped into Hardesty's store, and in lesa
than minute later pistol shot was
heard.
Those near the place ran in and found
Murphy lying on his face, already dead.
A bullet hole was found in his
right temple. Hardesty was sit
ting on stool behind his coun-
ter coolly surveying his victims prostrato
form. When questioned about the affair,
he quietly admitted the killing, but steadily
refused to give any reason for it whatever.
Esquire Blandford, acting coroner, imme-
diately summoned jury, and verdict in
in accordance with the facts was returned.
Hardesty was arrested and kept under
guard. He will be brought here for trial to-
day. Nothing whatever could be learned
that would give a clew to the cause of the
killing. Both the men stood extremely high
in the community, and had always been the
best of friends. Murphy was about 80 yeaIs
old, wealthy, and had wife and five chill
dren. No arms of any sort we're found on
bachelor. The greatest excitement exists in
regard to the killing, though public senti-
ment withholds itself until the circumstances
can be sifted to the bottom.

Lincoln Kicks Against the DiscriminA alton
In Railroad Tranic.
WAsHNGroN, d. c., September 3.-Last
spring the board of trade of Lincoln. Neb..
through some individual shipper at the same
place, began proceedings before the inter-
state commissioners against the various
railroads engaged in trans continental traffic
through that city, complaining that they
were unjuetly Disseminated against in favor
of Omaha and other Missouri river points
in the charges made for transportation of
property from the Pacific coast. They also
complained that the railroad violated the
long and short haul clause of the fourth sec
ton act to regulate commerce in charging
higher rates to Lincoln than they charge to
Omaha. The cases were six in number and
the commission went to Lincoln for the pur-
pose of hearing them.
It was found that the charges made for
the transportation of merchandise from the
Pacific coast points were slightly greater to
Lincoln than to Omaha, but it was also
found that the distance to Omaha by the
Union Pacific, which has the most direct
route, was less to Lincoln. A rate was,
however. made to both towns by the Bur-
llngton Missouri River railroad, which
was considerably longer than that by the
Union Pacific. and that, over this longer
route, trains would pass through Lincoln
before reaching Omaha, by that route,
therefore, the strict rules of the ''long and
short haul clause we're not observed.
The railroad companies defended their
charges as being just and reasonable, in
sisting that the distance to Omaha being
shortest by the most direct route, that the
lowest rates were properly made to the
nearest city. The cases were elaborately
presented and argued, but before the de-
cision was made the railroad companies
modified their tariff sheet so as to give Lin
coin the same rates as had been made to
Omaha. This change removed the cause of
complaint and the parties complaining we're
given leave to withdraw their petitions.

butt of q whip before he succeeded in reach
ing his wife. Freeing himself he fired
