Col Leavenworth and staff examined the equipments and accoutre- ments and expressed great satisfaction at the excellent showing. Both Captains Wolff and Burpee were especially common ded by Col Leavenworth, and take it all in all the two local companies may feel proud of last nights inspection.
 Col Leavenworth and staff with Lieut. Col Doherty and the captains and lieu tenants of both companies sat down to an elegant repast in the Fremont house after the inspection.
 Considerable dissatisfaction was express ed by the men of both companies for being compelled to pack their overcoats in their knapsacks. It does not add to the dressy appearance of the men and spells many of the knapsacks for further use. Even Colonel Leavenworth did not approve of the idea.
 First Sergeant NJ. J. Jordan of Go G re- sumed his old position last night for the first time in two months. MT Jordan has been in Europe for a short time and was the center of attraction last night as he re- counted his various exploits while a visitor to his native isle.
 A critical audience occupied the gallery and floor of the armOry and watched with pleasure the movements of the soldiers.
 The swords for the officers of Go G were worn for the first time.

Where Did They all Come From?

From every corner of the city, and all the surrounding country furnished it's quota We had rushes and rushing busi- ness, but ever since we became the cloth ing kings did we have the steady flow of trade that we had last week. We are in doubt as to what cause to attribute it ? Was it because hundreds of strangers were in town, or was it because it's the proper season? Or perhaps it is the fame of thes Ten Per Gent One Price Clothing Co.,. The people are being more educated to buy an article at it's actual value. To do this you must get it of the manufac- turer who make it. We are the fathers of the clothing we sell. We save you 80 per cent other clothiers expect of you as their profits. We stand as the guarantee to you that the article purchased is up to every representation. We are direct man ufacturers, and we sell all our fine cloth ing just ten per cent above the cost to manufacture. Give us call.

 Can't be Beat.
 The New York Sun of Sunday publishes the following
 John McSheehy, of Huntington, Conn, and Lucy A. Todd, of Griswold, Conn, were married at the City hall, yesterday, by Alderman Rinckhoff. Lucy was widow and posted. She said to the clerk who was making up the record ''Now, don't let this get in the papers. John is a Catholic and I am Yankee, and his folks are just dead set against our getting married"
 Mrs McSheehy, if she has legal right to the name, is the same woman who was ar rested in Shelton in August, 1887, for bigamy. This charge did not hold, but she was sent to the Bridgeport jail for forni- cation, and remained there two mt nths. From that time uutil last April McSheehy and the fair Todd were not heard from. | Then thev returned to Shelton and moved Mrs Todd's household effects to a house about mile from the village where they have been living together. Last week they took it into their heads to get married again for some reason, and went to New York for that purpose.
 The record claims that she was born in the town of Woodbury, February 22, 1S4o. In the year 1861 she married one of the Smith family by the name of Henry, whose l months afterwards sought out another Smith and married him. But the tribe of Smiths proved so uncongenial she con cluded after short time to seek another husband and captured one Alvah Leach with whom she lived short number oi years and then deserted him. He is stil living. In 1863 she again married mar named Todd, and after about years ex periepce she toddled away with another fellow and matters went on so harmonious ly for a while that they deemed it unneces- certificate and fee. In two or three months she found another more to her liking anc ThomasI bowman walked intothe oftvspreat matrimonial net, she representing that sh' was widow and had been disconsolate il the loss of but one husband. With Low man she resided about two years and tn sequel is as herein before given.

A Needed Rxposure.

An investigation of the system under
which the convict camps Of Arkansas are
conducted has unfolded chapter Of hor-
rors, The exposure was made in the case
of Coal Hill camp. Here lI9 men were
found Their only shelter was a building
81 feet long, and in this the men were hud-
died like sheep black and white, sick and
we'll sleeping side 10y side on straw which
is seldom changed, and which was reeking
with filth and vermn. Their clothes are
never changed, aud their only covering at
night was a single tiimsy blanket given to
each man. The stencil arising from this
building was sickening
There have been several changes in war
dens during the past six months. One of
them often whipped 70 men in single
night, giving them each from 30 to 100
lashes This brute had beaten several men
to death. Another warden whipped man
to death for some trivial offense, A later
warden lashed sick man until he died.
Scores of men were found whose backs
were covered with scars from the beatings
they had received. Men were forced to
work until they fell and we're then whip
ped for falling,
If men had bad luck in the mines and
came up without having done their stint,
through no fault of their own, they were
whipped. If sick man and well man
were coupled together and their work fell
short, both were whipped Many of the
prisoners became downhearted when they
could not get out their coal, and then they
were whipped until their spirit was utterly
broken. Seventy graves in a marsh hole
tell the story of these horrible cruelties A
storm Of Indignation has arisen in the state,
and the penitentiary commissioners have
been urgently called upon to right these
terrible wrongs No one had imagined
that such outrages were possible under the
system which has been so long in operation
unmatched. The lesson in Arkansas is one
by which other states may profit.

The True RepubIicnn policy.

There seems to be a strengthening con-
viction among Republicans at Washington
that the true policy for the party to adopt
is to prepare a tariff bill of its own-a sim
pie and consistent measure, upon which the
Republican members can agree with prac-
teal unanimity. We are glad to see a crys-
tallization of Republican sentiment upon
this point. There are two aspects in which
tariff measures in the present Congress
must be viewed, the fiscal and the political
They must be considered in their bearing
upon the government revenues and upon
the great industries of the country, and al
so III their bearing upon politics The Dem
ocratc leaders have little serious expecta-
tion of effecting any tariff legislation The
Mills bill is piece of patchwork, cut and
shaped in accord with recognized political
exigencies, and designed rather to catch
votes than to embody any well. defined prin-
ciple When it comes before the House, the
cutting and trimming process which was
continued in the proceedings of the commit
tee will be carried forward upon more ex-
tended scale, clause being inserted here
or stricken out there, whenever a doubtful
vote can be thus won To frame anv kind
of bill that will pass the House is the real
purpose of the Democrats They are pos
turing for effect upon the public They are
manpuvring for position in the presidential
campaign Their chief desire is to put the
Republican party in the attitude of an OBJ
structionist, and to represent it as resisting
every proposition to revise the tariff or to
reduce the revenue. So eager are they to
use this strategy that many of the Demo-
cratic papers are rather prematurely dis
closing the plan of campaign by accusing
the Republicans of obstruction, even before
the Mills bill has emerged from the commit
tee.
There is no reason why the Republican
party should accommodate its adversaries
by adopting a merely passive policy, upon
which hostile and misleading interpreta-
ton can be placed The party should have
a positive platform, not one of negations
The Mills bill should be antagonized by a
measure more in harmony with the best
Republican sentiment than the Randall bill
1t is not a question simply whether tariff
bill framed by the Republicans could be en-
acted into law-although there would be as
good a chance of this as that the Mills bill
should become law. The point is to make
the Republican policy in the maintenance
of the protective system absolutely definite
and Ineligible, so that when the people
turn from the crudities and absurdities of
the Mills bill and ask what is the Republi-
can alternative, they may be pointed to a
bill which expresses the Republican posi-
tion, not in the generalities of platform
resolutions, which are capable of diverse
interpretations, but in an explicit and sym
metrical tariff bill, demonstrating Republi-
can capacity TO deal with the existing prob
lens without injuring the industries whose
magnificent development is the basis of our
national prosperity. Journal.
