SOCIALISM AND PROTECTION.
Judge Grinnell Thinks the Former Is Encour.
aged and Fostered by the Latter.

CHICAGO, March ia large audience at
the Kenwood Club tonight listened to a
paper ON Socialism in America" by Judge
Grinnell, who was States attorney in the
Anarchist trial There was frequent ap-
plause. Judge Grinnell said: THE eager
desire of party leaders to obtain and re-
tain Office keeps Socialism and its attend
ant evils alive. In Chicago anarchism is
exaggerated out of all proportion to its
power, for no good purpose, and some men,
bers of both political parties seem inclined
to act so as to catch this element. In my
opinion, the talk about the Anarchists dur
ing this last winter has been willful,
wicked exaggeration of their power, an in
jury to the fair name of Chicago. a serious
detriment to its business interests, and
/ confidently believe the purpose of such
exaggeratiOn was purely political. Anarchy
as an organization is dead in America. Its
advocates have resolved themselves back
into their former state or parentage,
namely socialism. The Yankee law
with the same ease brush aside socialism.
That is here, not TO be snuffed out. 1t can
only be evaded by returning to the funda-
mental principles of our government,
eschewing paternalism and class legisia-
tion. My conscientious, firm conviction is
that protection, so-called, is wrong in prin-
clple fosters and encourages socialism, is,
in fact, socialism, and that with its abso-
Lutte abolishment and return to tariff for
revenue the Socialist will die and his per-
nicious doctrines disappear"

THE MUD RUN DISASTER.
The Case of Engineer Cook in the Hands of the

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, March 15.-Judge
Drehr this morning charged the juror in

Judge dwels on the several charges of the
Indictment and on the duties, rules and
regulations governing the employees of the
railroad company. He said that if the de-
fendant was in any way contributory to
the accident, either through default or
neglect in obeying orders, or in assuming
that the responsibility devolved upon an
other. he was guilty as charged in the in

The Failure Of the Columbus Convention o
Serious Blow to Pittsburg Interests.
PITrsBURG, March 15.-The failure of the
miners and the operators to agree upon a
scale of wages, at the Columbus conven-
ton, and the dissolving of the interstate
agreement, are regarded as constituting
one of the most serious blows that the coal
trade in Pittsburg has received for several
years. The operators from this region who
attended the convention returned home to-
day. They say that the failure to agree
upon a price means that each operator,
means cutting the price of coal, mining
prices and possibly strikes. The question
also comes up as to how it will affect the
different associations of the operators and
there are already rulnors of these also be-
ing dissolved. The operators say that the
breaking of the interstate agreement
was not only due to the Indiana and II
Gnois operators, but to the rivalry between
the Progressive Union of Miners and the
Knights of Labor. 1t is claimed that the
Progressive Union officials would not have
placed on record q reduction of ages as
their first official action, as that would
give the Knights of Labor an opportunity
to sa v to the members that no good comes
from their Joining the Progressive Union:
The outlook for continuance of mining at
the Monongahela works is bleak The
river operators are also debating making a
reduction in wages. Some of the operators
talk of shutting down their works on April
/, unless it is agreed to accept u two-and-
One-half-cent rate, instead of cents-tbe
rate for which they are now working.

Ex-A.derman Kerr Acquitted.

NEW YORK, March 15.-Judge Daniels
charge to the Kerr inry might be. consid-
cred strong one. The question, he said,
for the jury to decide was. dld the Broad
way Railroad Company raise the money
for legitimate uses in its business, or was
the money raised to corrupt the Board of
Aldermen, and if the latter was the case,
what part, if any, did the defendant play
in its When Judge Daniels concluded his
charge, the jury retired. The Judge, in the
meantime. placed Kerr in the custody of
his counsel. an action SAID to be without n
precedent in such cases. The jury returned
with a verdict of not guilty at few min
utes past o'clock. They had been out
since o'clock, and meanwhile had enjoyed
hearty lunch in the courthouse. When
the jurors had answered their names and
the foreman announced that they found
Kerr not guilty, there was wild scene.
Hats flew mp and there were cheers in the
room. Judge Daniels was much angered.
He directed the court officers to arrest any
one participating in the riotous proceed
ings. Mr.. Kerr's brothers and friends were
seized upon. The judge lectured them and
told them to come around at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
tomorrow and receive their punishment.
Mr.. Kerr's counsel Colonel Ingersoll,
pleaded for them, but in vain.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Any casual OBJ
server could have seen the effects of the
Senate's adjournment yesterday over Sun
day had he been at the White House to-
day. The Office-seekers have confined
themselves as largely as possible to the
Capitol when the Senate was in session,
but to-day they went direct to the Presi-
dent and gave him a hearty benefit. The
room adjoining the private Office of Presi-
dent Harrison, from Q to o'clock, was oc-
cupied by from twenty TO forty men. Int
vulgar parlance of the street, this was
a great "heel-cooling" day, and the
eager seekers after place under Uncle
Sam were there, but they were all in good
humor. They-waited patiently each his
turn, and after q hearty welcome by the
President and hearing of the statements
of their various cases, they wended their
way. The President gave all to understand
that he would confer with the heads of de-
partments as to the appointment of all of
fcers who come under the executive de-
partments and that applications should be
made to the Cabinet officers for all except
strictly presidential appointments. 1t is
expected a large number of appointments
will so to the Senate when it meets on Mon
day. The Public Printer. the Commissioner
OF Pensions, and the various assistant sec
retaries not yet named are expected to be
nominated on Monday. or very soon there
after.

PIGGoTTIsnI ON TRIAL.

The Voters of the Kensington District Ex-
press Their Views at the BaIiot-Box.
LONDON, March 15.-The election which
took place in the Kensington district, to-
day, to fill the seat made vacant by the en-
forced resignation of the Tory embezzler,
Robert Gent-Davis, has been attended by
greater excitement among the electors than
has characterized any previous bye elec-
ton in many years. The campaign has
been fought entirely upon national issues,
and the result, which will not be definitely
known before midnight, if, indeed, it can
be announced so early, will afford to the
country absolute certain proof of the popu-
lar feeling, and indicate, as nearly as can
be ascertained. the effect which "Piggott-

had upon the minds of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Beaufoy, the Liberal
eGaIndddate who was also the

of 3, 222 to 2,792, has a slight advantage in
the fact that he is large local employer

other consideration, is relied upon to carry
him through and add another seat to the

the Gladstonians within the past year.

CURING HYDROPHOBIA.
The Treatment Successfully Pursued in the
Case of q Boy Who Was in Bad Condition.

WOOSTER, o., March ia remarkable
recovery from an attack of the greatly
dreaded hydrophobia has just transpired in
this county. The afflicted person is an
eleven-year-old son of Jacob Barkly. we'll
to-dO farmer, who resides ten miles north
east of here. Eight years ago the boy, then
about two and half years of age, was Bit
ten on the upper lip by the family dog. The
dog appeared to be all right at that time,
but later on manifested signs of
madness, and was killed. Nothing Sc
rious was thought of the boys in
jury, and the wound soon healed. Six
weeks ago young Barkly came home from
school and complained of feeling unwell. A
physician was called in, and the boys all
ment was supposed to be muscular rheuma-
tism, as his entire muscular system ap-
peared to be partly paralyzed. His condi-
tiOn became worse, and other physicians
were called in for consultation. The pa
tlent became subject to parOxysms, during
which he would growl and bark like dog
and attempt to snap at and bite persons
around him. The paroxysms began by the
boys painting and sticking out his tongue
His eyes would become CLASSY, and he
would remain in this state for about twen-
paralytic condition. While in paroxysm
he was possessed of great strength and
was bound to his bed, two men

A consultation was held and the ailment
pronounced hydrophobia. The attending
physicians looked upon rabic poison as q
self-limiting infection, and set about to
bring the case over the active period of the
poison. Large doses of aconite were given
to blunt the sensory nerves of the throat and
9sophagus; hydrate of chloral to obviate
restlessness and produce sleep, and salicyi-

if it depended upon ferment forits action.

Troops Sent tn the Bolivian Frontier-Para
quay Also Involved.


PANAMA, March 4.-The Nacion, of Buenos
Ayres, recently said: Brazilian war prep
arations are reduced to the dispatch of
two battalions by the transport Madeira to
the frontier, where they will await devel-
opments. The gunboats will also go to
Matto Crosse, and of these two will be the
Camocin and Bahia. These preparations,
it is claimed in Rio, are due to the fact that
at Bahia Negra, Brazil and Paraguay form
their boundary line. and that this bay is
only little to the northward of Puerto Pa
checo, where the differences arose which
have not yet terminated between Paraguay
and Bolivia. The total Brazilian force in
Matto Crosse, and spread between Cuyaba
COrumba. on the Paraguayan frontier, and
Matto Crosse, at 800 miles from the capital,
was 500 men. With these reinforcements
they will number some 1900"
The DeTecho, of Mendoza, Argentine Re-
public, said: Already 500 men have left
Rio JaneirO for the Bolivian frontier. and
they are armed for at least a campaign of
one month. We hardly know how to ac-
count for this, but we do know that Para
quay and Bolivia are not on the warmest
terms, and we know that the Brazilian
troops will proceed directly to the scene of
the recent disputes between the authorities
and military forces of those two republics.
1t would be too venturesome, however, to
suppose that this movement of troops is
completely foreign to the Puerto Pacheco
question. This, also, to q certain extent
explains the attitude assumed by Para quay,
which certainly is in some manner con-
nected with Puerto Pacheco and its sur
roundings"
Under another heading the same paper
said: kilograms from Brazil generally
confirm the statement that the empire is
hurrying forward its war preparations.
What has so far occurred can be convened
in a few words. Two battalions have gone
to the frontier in the transport Madeira
and three gun-boats will at once leave for
Matte Crosse. In Rio it is asserted that
this force will proceed to Bahia Negra,
of Puerto Pacheco. and that this step is
taken in order to guard the frontier

clare that there is no possibility of trouble
occurring. aud aseT that all rumors which

was that the weavers return to work un-
