Democratic Consistencies

The follow ing are few OF the incon-
sistencies found in the arguments ad-
vanced by our Democratic friends:
Our manufacturers are monopolists and
thieves; they make all the money and
rob the farmer and wage-earner
Our manufacturers caDnot compete
with foreigners, because they must pay
too much for raw materials farm pro.
Ducts and wages.
Our poor workingmen are living 10 how.
els and starving to death because the
robber manufacturer does not pay them
enough wages.
The war was failure; Lincoln and
Grant were butchers.
The war was success; Lincoln and
Grant are the greatest and best men that
ever lived.
Of course our Democratic friends do not
use all these assertions at one time or one
place, but are discreet enough to apply
them in manner that is calculated to
make votes. - Santa Barbara Cal.

Free Trade vs.. Nickel Manufacture.
The following article, taken from The
Patent and Court Record, published at
Washington, D. c., paper purely non
political in its character, will show any
candid, fair-minded man the importance
of protecting both the raw materials and
the labor used in our manufactures:
Eight years ago large part of the
nickel used in this country was made at
Ph9nixville, Pa, by Joseph Wharton.
The duty at that time was 81 q pound,
and Mr.. Wharton could produce it at So
a pound, ard sell it for 81 pound.
Nickel was put en- the free list, and as
Germany could manufacture it at So a
pound, Mr.. Wharton hsd to shut down.
Nickel Immediately rose to 81 pound,
the price it had heen before the dsty was
taken of, and as it continued at that fig
ure, Mr.. Wharton again commenced man
ufacturing. Nickel at once dropped down
to the price shat be could not reach, and
again be had to close down. This little
game would have continued indefinitely,
probably, if Mr.. Wharton had continued,
but as he was bound to1ose, hs withdrew.
What are the results? Nickel costs as
much as it did before the duty was taken
of, Mr.. Wharson's works are closed, and
bis 500 workmen forced to seek other en-
ploymsnt. Ph@nixville no longer -four

A FAIR RUNAWAY CAPTURED.
An Arkansas Girl Who rs Bound to Have a
Finished Education.

TExARKANA, Ark, July 11-Miss frankie,
daughter Of Squire Linn Whitehead, the
wealthy planter, desiring to change her coy
home among the moaning of the pines for col
lege life. Wednesday, without the consent of
her parents, made the purchase Of half dozen
mammoth travelling trunks, filing them
with silks, lawns, fine muslins, shoes,
and other lady's wearing apparel, selected
from one of the best stocks of goods in one of
the extensive dealers in ladies' dress goods in
the city, had the Same charged to her father,
and directed that her purchases be shipped to
her address at one OF the leading ladies' semi
naries north The father was duly notified of
the purchases made by his fair daughter, who
had already boarded north-bound train and
was rapidly speeding away to join the Vassars.
The father, not being pleased with
the extensive purchases at his eX-
pense and the loss of the winsome
girl, wired for her to be arrested and sent one
of the statesmen of the house from which the
goods were purchased after her. Mr.. Sander
son, the gentleman sent in her pursuit returned
yesterday morning, accompanied by the beau
tiful Miss frankie. She was turned over to
the kind care and keeping of her father, who
has promised that his petand idol shall be per-
mitted to go to school to her hearts content.
She takes her arrest good naturedly, and with
bushing smiles asserts that she's bound to
have o finished education.

"SIGN OR DIE"
James Miller Murdered at Harrodsburg by
Judge PulIiam.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 9.-The case of
Judge A. NJ. P1lliam, who on Friday killed
James Miller, wealthy farmer at Hardns-
burg, Ky, came up before the county magis-
trate this morning at that place. Judge Pull
liam waived an examination and went to jail
without bail. 1t has been discovered since
the killing that when Pulliam and Miller went
together into Pulliam's office, Pulliam sub
mitted to Miller for signature a statement that
Miller had been crinlinally intimate With Mrs.
Pulliam, and that in consideration of that fact
he would pay Pulliam 5000. The statement
was in ink, in Pulliams writing. Below, in
pencil. and leaving a space for the signature,
were the words in the same handwriting: 81
will give you Eve minutes to consider. You
may sign or die"
This paper was found under Miller's spec
tacles, on Pulliam's table, Just after the shoot
ing. The feeling is very bitter against Pull
liam, and there is some talk of violence, Pull
liam's past record is bad. He was a saloon
keeper at Cloyerport, number OF years ago,
and his place was the resort Of women Of ques-
tionable repute. Later he became acquainted
with Miss Mollie Miller daughter Of wealthy
merchant and relative of the murdered man.
She was infatuated with Pullam and married
him in spite of her fathers objections. Twice
they have been separated on account Of Pull
lian's alleged infdelity, Pulliam's election
as county judge was due to the reaction against
the badly enforced local option law. Els only
competitor was a local optionist

Bill Anderson, q negro, twenty-five years of

Macon county, was awakened by screams COM
ing from room occupied by his two daueh-
tiers, one nine and one twelve years Of age. lie
quickly started towards the room and negro
dashed past him and disappeared. The elder
daughter of Knowles, on going to the room to
retire, had discovered the negro, Bill Ander-
son, lying on the bed with her younger sister,
where he had been for some time.
Her screams frightened him, and he ran.
He was finally captured, and carried to Tus-
keegee, the county seat, on Monday, and
lodged in Jail. Threats of lynching were loud,
but it was thought nothing serious was going
to result from it, Today however, mob be-
gan to form with the avowed purpose of lynch
ing the prisoner, and 50 evident was il that
the local military would DO insufficient to pro-
tect him, that Sheriff Pinckard hurried him
off to the train, and brought him here tonight,
where he is now confined. Although fully
identified by both of the daughters of Knowles,
the negro stoutly declares his innocence and
claims he was not in the vicinity at the time.
The chain of circumstantial evidence wound
around him is so strong as to preclude the pos
Sibility,of an acQuittal.
