PENSION VETOE,S.

Republican Congressman and Republican
papers have a great deal to say about the
pension vetoes of the President. Their idea
OF reducing the surplus" is to give every
body who applies a pension, and in the effort
in this direction Congressman insist that the
living and the dead, those who are already
pensioned and those who are not, shall be
the recipients Of the governments bounty,
AS an illustration Of the hap.hazard, un-
business-like way Congress has of doing
things we publish the following;
To the House of Representatives;
! return without approval House bill
number ninety-five hundred and twenty,
entitled "An act for the relief of Mary Fitz-
morris"
1t is proposed by this bill to pension the
beneficiary named therein as the widow of
Edmund FitZmorris under the provisions
and limitations of the general pension laws,
The name ofthe beneficiary is already upon
the pension roll, and she is now entitled To
receive precisely the sum as a pensioner
which is allowed her under this bill.
AS her application to the pension bureau
was lately quite fayorahly acted upon it is
supposed this special bill for her relief was
passed by the Congress in ignorance of that
fact GROVER CLEVELAND

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Iudge Will
son says: II believe Republican folly
elected Cleveland in Chicago five months
in advance of the popular balloting.
The strongest Republican was Blaine.
Next to him was Gresham, man of the
people. and for whom tens OF thousands
of independent thinking men would
have cheerfully voted. Gen. Harrison
is an aristOcrat. and not a man who can
add in any way to the ordinary strength
of his party. 1t seems to me that the
whole question resolves itself into this:
The Republican candidate fifty repre-
sents a party of monopoly and trusts:
Capital is always organized, and
a contest to-day as it will be in Novem-
under the lash of wealth and greed be
organized in time to meet the shock?
In my Judgment the masses are already
alive to the dangers of Republican
ascendency, and they will be ready to
stand shoulder to shoulder when the
tug Of war comes. 1t will take
time and persistent effort to get
our yeOmanry aroused to aggressive
action, but as the issues are placed be-
fore them they will rally to the standard
of revenue reform and give the party
of monopoly and capital its final blow
in such an irresistible manner as to
paraiyZe the arm of capital for many
years to come and compel it to respect
the rights of the masses hereafter.
Harrison is not strong nominee, and
he stands upon platform which is even
weaker than himSelf."

REDFIELD, June 29.-The nomination
of S. FL. Cranmer by the Prohibition
party, assembled here, is an event of
the greatest possible significance. The
assembly met under call designating
it the Prohibition n convention for South
Dakota, but it speedily resolved itself
into territorial convention. Owing to
lack of publication hardly dozen coun-
ties were represented, but there is no
reason to suppose that the faithful
throughout the territory will not rally
to the support of the nominee, inasmuch
as he personally cuts no figure in the
campaign. AT the evening session Wal
ter L. Mills, national organizer for the
party, addressed the convention and an
audience which packed the court house.

talker, with many of the elements of a
successful stumper. He presented in

At the close of the meeting $500 was
subscribed toward a campaign fund
and placed at the disposal of the terri
torial committee elected at the after
noon session. This county and Beadle
led off with 500 apiece. A5vigorous
campaign will be inaugurated at once.
A conservative estimate cannot place
the number of votes they will poll at
less than 10000. In 1886 the Demo
Gratis reduced the Republican majority
from $4,000 to $4,000. The Prohibition
vote will be taken almost to a man
from this column. If the Democrats
will do a little of the work accomplished
in the last campaign, their candidate is
elected. and if he Isn't elected, some
one will be to blame.

Marlborough was very attentive to his

will be remembered that Aylesford and

about $1,000 assets and about

The Bohemian flats added another
case to Its long list last night. Shortly
after 10 o'clock the policeman on that
beat was startled by a report from a.
revolver, which came from low, ,dingy,
one-story house, between the fooG
of Chestnut street and the unfin-
ished uptown bridge. The house is
occupied by an Italian family named LID
Porte. The officer rushed to the scene.
and after pushing in the door beheld
the almost lifeless form of Angel La
Porte. young man about twenty-five
years old, and the son of the occupant.
The central patrol wagon was sum-
mOned and arrived on the ground JUST
about the time
THAT LA PORTE DIED.
Lieut.. Murphy telephoned for Drg
Spencer, who, after making an investi4
cation of the case, discovered that al
ball from a 42-caliber revolver hadi
entered the mans groin on the left sidei
and came out through the small of the,
back, penetrating the vitals. The bodvt
was taken to the morgue.
The entire family speak nothing buts
Italian, and it was with difficulty THAI
any account of the shooting could be-
obtained. 1t is claimed that friend,
whose name could not be learned, and
LaPorte were both infatuated with
A YOUNG ITALIAN GIRL,
who was the subject of their cOnversa-
tion before the shooting occurred. La
Porte advised his friend not to go with
her any longer, and the friend told La
Porte that if he caught him with her he
would be shot. At the same time he
pulled revolver and fired, the bali
taking effect as above stated.
The man Immediately fled from
the house, and escaped arrest
by the officers. His description
could not be given, and who he is is
still mystery. 1t is also claimed that
the shooting was an accident, and the
revolver went off while the friend was
earelessly handling it. A number of
the police officials are investigating the
affair and making an attempt to secure
the murderer, but nothing was discov-
cred up to late hour last night. The
coroner will hold an inquest to-day.
Two men have been arrested and
locked up in the central station. They
were witnesses of the deed, and one Of
them handed the murderer the revolver
he used.

Gresham; but after | saw the protec-

such candidate as the party of protec-
tion and monopoly should have. He is
as pronounced prOtectiOniSt as Blaine;
therefore has no sympathy with our
farmers and others in non-protected in
dustries. He voted against the anti
Chinese legislation, and in favor of adj
mitting Chinese labor. whice shows he
has no sympathy with our American
mechanics and wOrkingmen. In short,
he is a born aristocrat and all that
that implies. Wait until you
hear from the Pacific coast.
1t is also charged that
he was member of the Know Nothing

His military record did not nominate
him. If that Influenced the convention

WAsEcA, Minn., June 29.-A man
claiming to be a Methodist minister.
Rev. E. E. Thompson by name, claim
ing to have come from the South, ar
rived in Janesville, this county, recently,
and represented to the people there that
he was the owner of 600 acres of land
near Cleveland, which is small inland
town some miles north of Janesville;
that he had purchased the land three
years ago and that it had greatly
increased In value since his
purchase, and that he was
up here for the purpose
of fencing and erecting dwelling
thereon and otherwise improving it. He
made trips to Winona, as he claimed,
proposed improvements. During his
stay at GAINESVILLE he preached several
times in the Methodist Episcopal
church, and by being fine talker and
with his seeming piety, he made good
impression ON the regular minister and
devOut church members. While at
GAINESVILLE he met the presiding elder
of the church, who lives at Mankato,
and who also became impressed with
the fellow. A few days ago he went to
Mankato and called on the presiding
elder and got him to go with him to the
First National bank, and there identify
him so that he could get a New York
draft, which he had for $4,000, cashed.
With the elders Identification he
received on said draft $4,000 cash
and a deposit check for $4,000.
Since receiving the money nothing has
been heard from Thompson, and on in
vestigation it was learned that the draft
was fraud. Later developments show
him to have been the owner of no land
anywhere in this vicinity. Search will
hp mada for him
