The Wife of Banker Rawson Murderously
Assaults Her Husbands Attorney in the
Court Room.
CHICAGO, June 1.-While the docket was
being called in Judge Jamieson's court
shortly after ten o'clock this morning Mrs.
NJ. l.. Rawson was impatiently waiting for
the divorce case of her husband, Banker
Rawson, to be called. Colonel II. c. Whit
ney, her husbands attorney, was sitting
at q table writing, when the court
was suddenly startled to hear q
pistol shot and Colonel Whitney at
once disappear under the table. The
shot was followed by four more IN
rapid succession, and Mrs. Rawson was
seen pursuing Whitney with Smith q
Wes,on IS caliber revolver. Mrs. Rawson
succeeded in emptyng her revolver at
Whitney before she could be captured.
Two of the balls hit the lawyer, one
taking effect below the groin and the
other in the left leg The wound near the
right groin will probably be fatal.
Judge Jameson at once ordered Mrs Raw
sons arrest and she was Immediately
taken to jail. When the officers arrived at
the Jail with their prisoner, Mrs Rawson
had every appearance of being an insane
woman. Her eyes were red and blood
shot and she complained of being cold and
faint. AS soon as the search had been
completed she became more composed.

Grover Cleveland's Cntirlng vigilance

Grover Cleveland's CntirIng Vigilance,
Courage and Firmness.
Senator John James ingalls,, who is
not friendly to the President, has ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Cleveland
is more phenomenal than Napoleon.
The vitriolic Senator from Kansas
did not mean to be complimentary.
But he was so in spite of himself. For
those qualities of the great French
soldier and law-giver, in which Mr..
Cleveland resembled him. were his
good qualities. Grover Cleveland
possesses much of the keenness of
vision, the untiring vigilance, the
courage and iirmness, and not little
of the audacity in great things, that
made Napoleon Bonaparte the great
est soldier in history.
As a power in the worlds affairs
there was no accounting for Napoleon,
and there is no accounting for Grover
Cleveland. Both will take places in
history among phenomena Both rose
suddenly from obscurity, and when so
elevated both displayed remarkable
powers of leadership. 1t is hard to
estimate public men with accuracy
during their lifetime, but it is safe to
say that Grover Cleveland will take
rank as one of the most remark able
men the United States has produced. In
1880 the country had never even heard
the name of the man whom four years
later it elected to the highest position
in the world. Called to the head OF
the Nation without the slightest eX-
perience in National politics; never,
it is said, having set foot in
the capital of his country until he
went there for his Inauguration.
he at once mastered the multifari-
Gus affairs of the Government with a
thoroughness and detail which, per-
haps, no President before him ever
quite equaled. 1t was thus that Ma
poleon mastered the affairs of the
army and then the affairs of France.
Not only this, but President Cleveland
at once displayed a large, broad-mind-
ed. comprehensive grasp of the great
questions of the time. He saw the
way the country should go, and with
cautious yet resolute hand he turned
it in that direction. First assuring
himself that he was right. he has not
failed in the quality of courage which
Napoleon had. and which so few
political leaders of our times possess
the courage to Ego ahead. "
The election of 1884, and the result
ing administration of Grover Cleye

"chestnuts." The country has beer

The Ludicrous InconsIstency of Ohlo's

There ought always to be an appeal
open from the John Sherman engaged
in frantic pursuit of the Presidency
to the John Sherman unvexed by tho
buzzing of the Presidential bee in his
bonnet The "favorite SON. of Ohio,
for whom that State exhibits such ar
dent and uncomfortable affection ey-
cry four years, has always a cool and
often clear head, and is at times hap
py in showing the absurdity of unmean-
ing and misleading epithets and cam
paign cries.
Thus, in 1867, when advocating
reduction of the tariff, Congressman
Sherman said it was " simply an abb
surdity to talk about a free-trade tar
if and to talk about a protective
tariff is unnecessary because the wit
of man could not possibly frame a
tariff that would produce $40, 900. 900
in gold without amply protecting our
domestic industry" A year later the
same Sherman found Unnecessary again
| to rebuke the reckless and demagogic
howl of :" free trade when nothing
was under consideration except mod
crate reduction of high tariff He
said
In considering so complicated subject as
| tariff nothing can be more deceptive than tho
application OF such general phrases as PRO
tective tariff" "a revenue tariff" "a free-trade
tariff" Every law imposing duty on imported
| goods is necessarily a restraint on trade. 1t i'm
poses burden upon the purchase and sale OF
| imported goods and tends to prevent every i'm
| portation. The expression "a free-trade tariff
| involves absurdity.
Certainly. But If the term ga free
trade tariff was an absurdity in 1868
| Sherman's recent sally, in which he
hurled the epithet ''free trade" at the
authors of scheme to reduce the tariff
from AZ to an average of Sc per cent,
should have been greeted with roars of
laughter, If SO per cent. tariff is not
highly protective, what is it? 1t is
higher than the Clay tariff of 1912.
We have Sherman's word for it that it
| is Sc per cent. above any thing that
can possibly be styled free trade"
moreover, Hc utCLdlSo IhdG bIO WIZ "a
| man could not frame a tariff that
would produce 140 millions of revenue
without amply protecting domestic in

scheme" Such a performance as this

FARMERS AND TAXATION
How the War Tariff "Protects" the Ag-
ricuItural Class.

The farmer Is told that the tariff pro-
tects him by bringing foreign laborers
over here to work in our protected
mines and factories, thus increasing
the home consumption of farm produce
and creating a better home market for
it. But in spite of the vast increase of
our population by immigration in the
last ten years, the farmer is painfully
conscious of the fact that he is getting
less for his beef, less for his pork and
less for his grain than he got ten years
ago. While his unmarketable surplus
is increasing every year, the tariff
forces him to pay out of his reduced
income more for his transportation
and more for all the necessaries he has
to buy. 1t forces him to buy in a mo-
nopoly market and sell in free-trade
market in competition with the pauper
labor produce of India and Russia. 1t
forces him to furnish the great bulk of
our exports, to bear the whole burden
of our foreign trade, to pay the cost of
It's transportation both ways to foreign
ship-owners. 1t aims to increase that
cost by shutting out importations so
that our exports will have to pay the
cost of the ship voyage both ways.
In addition to all this, whenever
foreign governments begin to retail
late by placing protective duties on
what we sell to them it is the farmers
produce that suffers again, because
there is nothing else on which they
can retaliate. Enormous import du-
ties are paid on all the flour meat and
livestock we send to the West Indies.
France and Germany levy import du-
ties to protect their farmers from
ruinous competition with American
brcadstuffs, pork and bacon, and now
our Consul at Stockholm writes that
the Swedish Parliament has decided to
impose a duty of "a cents per kilo-
gram on pork and g. 75 cents on bacon.
Thus does the farmer have to bear
the brunt of our trade obstruction pol
icy, both rs to its direct and indirect
effects. Free-tradc England, the bcte
noir of our protectionist orators, is the
only foreign Government that gives
him show. She buys our cotton,
grain and meat. carries our produce
and finds her profit in vast foreign
trade of which our tariff and naviga-
ton laws have given her almost a mo-
nopoly. Our war tariff period has been
the period of England's greatest trade
expansion and greatest increase in
wealth.
Facts like these are so apparent that
the farmers of the Northwest will nc
longer blindly follow the lead of tho
millionaire monopolists and trust
barons of the East in their support OF
the war tariff. The demand for re-
vision can no longer be howled down
by the cry that any reduction of du-
ties which average forty-seven per
cent. means "frec trade" ahd the
prostration of all our industries. The
party that goes into the next election
on any such platform forcdOoms itself
TO overwhelming defeat in spite of al,
the corruption funds the robber trusts
can pour into the contest.-St L0uI,
