An account OF an alleged poisoning OF a

The story shows that Bueno has already pois.

Municipal Judge OF Lencoes and OF other
persons the following exploits achieved 10y
him against tho poor Indians;

A letter Issued from Rome Against
tho Irish Plan of Campaign.

tho lftSh Plan Ot Campaign.
Tho statement that tho Pope has suo1 a
decree condemning the plan OF campaign in
Ireland is confirmed. a Papal letter says he
does 80 because he is convinced that the plan
OF campaign is illegal. lie says lac is also
convinced that the land courts will reduce all
unfair rents. Another circumstance that
Influenced him, he says, is the fact that funds
aie eXtorted from cOntrb butors TO tho plan
The Pops condemns boycotting as n practi e
contrary TO justice and charity
The Dublin Freenldt'S Journal urges the
people 20 exercise calmueSs and PATIENCE, AMI
TO receive the Papal decree with profound
respect and loyalty TO Rome 10 declares
that boycotting Is rare. Tho Nationa lists
have determined TO continue the plan OF cam
paign in spite of the Papal decree. II IL as
serted that the movement will not suffer
much from tho necessary detection OF the
priests, who will undoubtedly continue TO
sympathize with tho people, and that
the vaCaficies eau easily bo filled
with laymen. Tho matter has caused
an extremely bitter feeling among
the Nationalists Mr. Dillon I'm n speech nj
HerbeItstOwn, Ireland, pointed out the
justice Of the plan OF campaign, the results OF
which, he said fully Justified the wisdom
OF the League In recommending &C. The
whole ground for the Nationalist policy was
the fact that an Irish tenant could not make
IA contract with his landlord; that freedom
Of contract did not exist He denied en-
phaticaliy that tile plan OF campaign funds
were obtained by force and Intimidation.
A despatch from Rome 10 the London Times
says "The Papnl letter has already been
sent 10 the Irish Bishops and will be pub
lished soon The Pope forbids Catholics
TO adopt the plan Of campaign or 30 en-
gage in boycotting and enioins obedience Co

Here is wbatthe Huntington Id
Uerttser has to say about our ticket,
selected at the Primary election.
esThere was a good turnout of the
Democrats throughout the county,
upwards of two thousand votes be-
ing polled. The ticket nominatedis
thought to bea very strong one, aud
strong hopes are entertained of
electing it. Warren G. WhaIey, one
of the nominees for the House of
Delegates, is a newspaper man. lie
is capable and popular, aud ought
to be elected if the people of Mason
know how to appreciate good
man. The chief contest was over
the nominations for Sheriff and
Prosecuting Attorney. All the cam
didates for these offices were good
men and were strongly bacisc,l, but
Hanly and Spencer won by good
maiorities. Mr. Hanly has served
one term as sheriff, and made a
good record. Mr.. Spencer is a
young lawyer of fine attainmcnts,
decided talent, and is destined to
make his mark at the bar. The
Democrats of Mason are to be con-
graduated upon the excellence OF
their ticket, and they should make
u great effort to elect it.

The Republican press continues
to howl ''free-trade'' at the Demo
Gratis who favor reduction of the
surplus. 1t is n willful, deliberate
and intentional falsebco1. Every
man of intelligence in their old,
corrupt party knows that the ut
most enunciations on that subject
from any authoritative source 20 no
farther than to demand tariff for
revenue only, and the Mills bill,
oyer which these malignant haters
of popular rights have shrieked
themselves hoarse, is mere skim
ming, and goes no deeper than is
necessary to avoid the evils result
ing from an excess in the Treasury.
The failure to reduce this excess
will seriously endanger the business
of the country and demoralize the
government, by keeping out of its
legitimate channels the money need
ed by the people in trade, and lay
ing it up to excite the cupidity of
"log-rollers" and lobbyists. The re-
duction of seven per cent. from a
tariff of more than forty seven, as
proposed by the Mills bill, is GER
tainly far different proposition
from free trade. The high tariffites
would do well to avoid raising an is
sue out of their false clamoring
which might torment them in earn
est.-hdndiCltd Gazette.

A eight for Illinois.

The nomination of General John
NJ. Palmer as the Democratic candi-
date for Governor in Illinois means
that there is to be heroic fight for
the State in the coming contest.
General Palmer was one of the
most gallant and distinguished OF
volunteer Generals during the war,
and in 1868 he was nominated and
elected Governor by the Republi-
cans. In 1872 he revolted against
the rule of Grant and supported
Greeley for President. He has
since been an independent and
generally supporting the Demo
cratic candidates in State and
national contests, and he is in a
position to make determined
battle for Cleveland and himself
If the Republicans shall adopt
the high monopoly tariff views pro
claimed by Blaine with Blaine as
their candidate, the chances will be
quite even for the success OF Cleve-
land and Palmer in Illinois, Party
discipline has held the Republicans
of that State from breaking party
lines against the oppression of our
industries by needless taxes; but
the issue is now directly before the
people and Illinois is more than
likely to vote for tax reduction re-
gardless Of party interests.

The Republican obstructionists
should ponder we'll these words OF
the Chicago Tribune, the leading
Republican paper of the West:
The Republican minority, by per-
sisting longer in an obstructionist
policy, will simply play into the
hands of the Democrats and enable
Mills and his accociates to claim
that they alone actually made an
attempt in Congress to reform and
lower the tariff. The record would
then stand thus: Both parties pIedg-
ed themselves to reform the tariff.
but one only made any attempt to
redeem it's promise. The Demo
Gratis could claim at least that they
prepared and introduced bill
which contained many meritorious
provisions, and which as whole
might have been amended and put
in proper form. In contrast with
this the Republicans could present
no definite plan nor affirmative ac-
ton looking to an actual reform of
the taritf-nothing in fact but the
record of an obstructionist, dog-in-
the-manger policy. This will not
do.

The taxes upon raw materials of
whatever kind are impositions that
cannot be justified. Whatever in
creases the price of crude commodi-

and the skilled laborer he EMPLOYS

one and the work and wages of the
other. These taxes are in direct
conflict with the protective theory
OF what advantage to the industrial
growth of Philadelphia are the tariff
duties on coal, lumber, iron, ore,
copper, jute, wool and sugar? They
are detriment and drawback.
1t is protectionism run mad to tax
these things. 1t is Republication
run mad that seeks to Justify such
taxation. And it needs but little
Republican assistance to wipe these
taxes out of existence.
