WHY Ben nutler onnosss Free Wool

Gen. Butler gives his reason for oppos-
ing free wool rs follows: 81 oppose free
wool now, because if we admit it to the
free Est we can't keep our granger friends
next year from taking off the tariff on the
manufactured goods. Our tariff system
has been carefully adjusted by long effort
and the greatest care. We can't afford

rst. THE DAILY NEWS
Is a dailv naner for busy people.

OF all mankind the people of Chicago and the busy north
west are the busiest. And yet perhaps no equal number OF Peo-
pie are to be found who appreciate SO keen}y the necessity OF an
intelligent knowledge OF the worlds daily doings. They recog-
nize that they, more than anyone else, are the worlds providers
in many of the most important necessaries of life. How I'M
portant, then, that they should have their daily intelligence OF
every event, the world over, which by any possibility can affect
their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher
interests of life where can be found a like number of people
more keenly appreciatiye of all that contributes to progress in
art, literature, science, religion, politics, and the thousand and
one things which make up modern civilization.
And yet, strange to say, right here in this great, busy north
west, in its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the
creation and development of that most cunbrous, unserviceable,
time-detroying thing, the " blanketsheet" newspaper. With the
blindness of very faulty this monsuosty of journalism, this breeder
of mental dyspepsia, has steadfasly imposed its mountain of I'M
threshed straw to the demand of the people for the winnowed grain
of fact. 1t was out of the very incongruousness of such a condition
of things that THE DAILY News had its birth. People wanted the
News,-all the news-but they demanded it apart from the over
towering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. 1t is because
THE DAILY NEWS satisfactorily meets that demand that its cireula-
ton is over I" ambition a-week."
R. M. LAWRENCE, WiIiamsvile, ILL.,, says: "The tbig daily is
too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read every
thing printed in the sblanketsheets,' but one having anything
else to do doesn't have time to hunt through the ~long-drawn
twaddle for a few grains of d~igestible food"

of young men, all OF them bright

A Mob Repu1sed.

A mar named Halves killed his
wife and two beautiful children at
Birmingham, Alabama, the other
day, in order to marry another
woman. He was jailed and on
Saturday night a mob attempted to
take him out. The Sheriff had
been warned that the attempt
would be made and he stationed
armed men at the Jail. When the
mob came, the Sheriff appealed to
it to withdraw, saying that blood
shed would follow if he was not
obeyed. The mob advanced and
the Sheriff ordered his men to fire.
With the first volley seven of the
attacking party fell dead and over
thirty were wounded. The great
est excitement prevails in Birm.
ingham. One Of the men killed
was the postmaster of the town.

THE principal sluggers are so
agreed in their desire to fight
nay, their extreme anxiety-that
one fails to see the necessity of
their continuous and most yocif-
erous argument" Yet there will
be voluminous correspondence be-
tween them for the next six
months, all to the same effect, and
diplomacy enough to run several
large governments. 1t is a compli-
ment to them that each has a
wholesome fear of any and all the
others; and yet each pretends to
the most intense scorn of every
thing of that kind. If there were
asset of Queensberry rules to con-
troll the siuggers' mouths it would
be a good thing; but then the slug
gers wouldn't be half so happy.

THE WHITE CAPS OF ONO,

The atrocities by the White Caps
of Ohio have included the whipping
of women as we'll as men.
The public reads oftheir v~illainy
without any violent agitation. Ii
has been going on for months, but
melody but the victims looks upon
il as Il very serious matter. One
of these victims is dead aud another
has gone crazy. Now the White
Caps, indignant at the criticism
which has been visited upon them
which they think delicate erea~
tures!l must not be tolerated.
threaten to burn a town; and any
individual criticism which GENES
to their ears is quickly followed by
the posting of the usual notice on
the authors door. Why is there
so little said about these outrages?
They are worse than the ku-klux-
ing about which there was SO much
excitement several years ago, for
the victims are white women and
white men. Is it because Ohio is
a Republican State? Are not these
outrages as bad as if they happen
ed in Il Democratic State, and
might they not be used for political
capital if it is decided to put them
down and put their authors in the
penitentiary? is there no law in
in the White Cap district? If
there are legal authorities are
they afraid of the ignorant, brutal
scoundrels? Has Governor Fora
ker nothing to say in the premises?
What Il shame it is-what n
heartless, merciless, lmpudent,
shame Poor old Ohio!

likely be present. As yet, no steps
have been taken by any of the gen.

morning, a reporter for this paper
learned that two-thirds of the
horses on the ground at our last
fair were brought here by the State
association. Mr.. Carter said that
many of the would not have
filled had it not been for the addi-
ton of the Missouri horses. He is
decidedly in favor of securing the
meeting for next year. Mr.. Car
ter was unable to say hat the State
horsemen had been the direct
cause of the local association max

thought the fair much benefited

Mr.. c. F. Clark is In favor Of
bringing the meeting here for an
