TRAIN ROBBERS FOMED.

1t is refreshing to hear Of "A little
grit shown by train hands when
robbers make felonious assault on
their train. On Saturday gang of
rufiians attacked a Union Pacific
train as it lay at a water tank not
far from Rawlins, Wyoming. The
engineer and fireman were attend
ing to their duties when three men
rushed up, and covering them with
rcvOlvcrs, ordered them to throw up
their arms. The robbers had the
drop on them and they could only
comply. But the front brakeman
showed fight. He smashed one
robbcr i'm the face with Il lump of
coal, and graphing him the two
had desperate struggle. This dis
concerted the outlaws and they
turned and ran, but the brakeman
was shot in the arm and hip. This
brave defense of the cOmpany's
should be generously
rewarded, because such II show Of
resistance rs this on every occasion
would discourage the business Of
train robbery. Large possess started
n pursuit of the flceting robbers.

WHERE IS the INCONSISTENCY

A city subscriber writes Us as fol
lows: 81 do not see the consistency
of your flying the Harrison and Nor
ton flag at your mast head, while
you are constantly lighting the
policy Of protection. During the
present campaign the lines are
drawn taut, aud those who cannot
stay within the protection line are
no supporters of the republican
nominees
We print the above because many
republicans In this city and county
are as badly mixed in their ideas as
the writer of the above. The repub-
lican senators are now engaged on IA
tariff bin to take the place of the
Mills bill, which in its revision of
existing import duties, according to
newspaper reports, makes heavier
reduction than that of the Texas
statesman. Are these august law

Msn are not individuals TO the belle, but

the case may be; as for their beating
hearts, their longing souls, she does not

is the offer Of their devotion-their scRlps

tho world NAV see and count. Shc is,
according 10 HarpcT's Bt-ar, by no means

termination for conquest an motion. She
does not think of Others. There are girls
who love physical exercise fof itself; they
will ride over rough country. they will
row against the tide, they will shoot and
piGy tennis in the torrid zone,
they will skate and toboggan, they
will walk before break last, aud swim
for the mere love OF it, not to show pret

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
A Very Rapid Increase Under Dccreas-

The assumed rapid decrease Of the public

How then, they ask, can tho United
States diminish its debt so rapidlyl
Tho prosperity Of the people during all
these years has been unabated. In fact the
country has never seen such an era Of gen.
eral prosperity. The two conditions appear
10 be contradictory.

promoted health and happiness. The pro-
prietors Of Warmers sale cure have given
