GRITTY TAX-COLLECTOR.
He Has Fight With Bandits, and Knocks
tho Life Ont of Than.

NoaALEs, A. T., May "A desperate at.
tempt was made yesterday by band Of
highwaymen to murder and rob the tax
collector Of Madgalna District, Sonora,
Mexico. The attempted robbery took place
near the town of Santa Anna, a thickly
settled portion Of the district, and where
the collector would be liable to collect a
large amount Of money. While he was
passing along country road
the robbers fired upon him from
ambush, and, thinking that he and his
servants would both be killed or seriously
wounded the first volley, they rushed upon
him; but it so happened that their shots
did not prove effective, and when the col.
lector saw them, both he and the servant
opened fire with Winchesters. At the first
shot the collector killed one of the high.
waymen, and the others fed in dismay.
The collector is half-breed American.
He thinks one or two of the robbers were
wounded. The dead robber was recognized
as worthless loafer, who lived in the
vicinity,

WASHINGTON, May 29.-General Sheridan
has improved in very marked and unex-

tendants are much encouraged. The doc.

cover, but they think he may. There is, of
course, in all minds, the uncertainty of
another attack Of heart failure and the
fear that he has not yot gained sufficient
strength to enable him to Withstand one.

They would all vote for DIR. Pierces Favorite

An Interview With Col. r. c. Inger-
soil.
Boston Investigator,

soil.
Boston Investigator.
The following extracts from the New
York Truth Seeker, gives the opinioni
Of Col. Ingersoll, concerning the stage
pulpit and schools:
Question.-What is your opinion OF
"Christian charity" and the "Father.
hood Of God" as an economic policy fol
abolishing poverty and misery?
Answer.-Of course, the world is not
to be civilized and clothed and fed
through charity. Ordinary charity ere.
ates more than it alleviates. The great
est possible charity Is the greatest pos
sible justice. When proper wages are
paid, when everyone is as willing to
willing to get 1t for less, the world will
be fed and clothed.
l believe in helping people to help
themselves. believe that corporations
and successful men, and superior men,
intellectually, should do all within
their power to keep from robbing their
fellOw-men. The superior men should
protect the inferior. The powerful
should be the shield of the weak. To-
day 1t Ia, for the most part, exactly the
other way. The failures among men be-
come the food Of success.
The world is to grow better and better
through intelligence, through a devlop-
ment of the brain, through taking ad-
vantage OF the forces Of nature, through
science, through chemistry, and through
the arts. Religion can DO nothing ex-
cept to SOW the seeds OF discord between
men and nations. Commerce, manufac-
tues. and the arts, tend to peace and
the we'll being of the world. What is
known as religion-that is to say, a
system by which this world Is wasted in
preparation for another-a system In
which the duties Of man are greater to
God than to his fellow-men-a system
that denies the liberty of thought and
expression-tends only to discord and
retrogression.
or course, know that religious peo-
pie cling to the Bible on account of the
good that is In it, and in spite OF the
bad; and ! know that Free Thinkers
throw away the Bible on account of the
bad that is In it. in spite OF the good. l
hope the time will come when that book
will be treated like other books, and
will be judged upon Its merits, apart
from the fiction of inspiration. The
church has no right to speak of charity,
because Ii is an object of charity itself. |
1t gives nothing; all it can do is to re-
oeive. At best, it is only respectable |
beggar. l never cared to hear one who |
receives aims pay a tribute to charity. |
The one who gives aims should paw this |
tribute. The amount of money expend- |
upon churches, and priests, and all the |
of superstition, is more |
shan enough to drive the wolves from |
the doors of the world.
