as, with one exception, the races were
three-quarters OF IL mile and return, leav-
ing the oarsmen in fair view for nearly the
whole course; and, in addition, the weather
was delightful for aquatic sport. In the
Junior singles race Shea, of the Crescent
club, won in II :4:1s, with Lowell (Nautilus)
second. Lowell was the favorite in the bet
ting owing to his magnificent performance
in the trial heat on Friday. Charges were
made that he sold the race and the associa-
ton will make a thorough investigation of
them.
The race for junior doubles was won by
the st. Paul club, with the Minnesota team
second, time, l0::6S4. The Atalantas

tered a protest which was entertained

A rather unusual case of a p~oliceman's
sagacity is told by a gentleman of CEN
trail Missouri. Some years ago Col. Will
lam Y. Switzler, of Columbia, in COM
pany with an old gentleman of Howard
county and a st, Louis physician, were
in this city together witnessing some ex-
hibition. During the performance a lady
spectator exclaimed: I'm robbedl' To
prevent the thief from dropping the
purse into another's pocket, Col. Switz-
Ter exclaimed: Hold your pocketsl' A
policeman standing neal by immediate
ly and theoretically ordered all the men
in the immediate locality to stand in a
line. Walking around the line twice,
he began at the gentleman from Howard
and said: "You are a carpenter to the
next, You are a literary man." coming
to the next he said: "You are the thief"
and, searching him, found the pocket
book. Asked by one of the gentlemen
how he could designate a mans calling,
the officer said: ''The doctor there has
caustic on his fingers; the carpenter has
cuts on his hands; the literary mar has
ink on his fingers; the thief has hands
which show no evidence of good work
of any kind."-St. Louis Republic.

New York, Nov. 2s.-The National
City Bank Of Brooklyn was defrauded of
$3.50 Yesterday by means of a false tele-
phone message and a forged check. The
message informed the bank that Clapp
Bros, of 979 Fulton street, had sent a
district messenger boy to get a check for
$3.50 cashed and that 1t was all right.
When the boy presented the check it was
paid without question. The check had
been given to the boy by a man who stood
in the doorway of Clapp & Bros store.
The man telephoned the bank from the
telephone station neal the store. When
the boy came back with the money the
man took it and walked away. The mes
senger, thinking it odd that the man had
not entered the store, went inside and
asked if the firm had sent the check.
This revealed the swindle, and an attempt
was made to catch the thief. but he had
escaped. Inquiry at the bank revealed
the fact that $3.50 more had recently been
paid out on checks purporting to be
signed by Clapp Bros, making the total
loss 81. 200

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Nov. 2S. Can't.
Lathrop of this city, internal revenue col
lector for the northern district of Iowa,
has issued ifty-six iDjunctions against
persons charged with selling liquor with
ont a license. In about half the cases the
individuals charged have already been
brought before Capt. Hobbs or a commits
sioner elsewhere in the district for pre-
liminary examination, or the case has
been dismissed on the offenders paying
the license, together with a penalty Of 100
per cent and costs. For the short time
Capt. Lathrop has been in office the num-
Der of cases is unusually large. He al
lows no deputy to enter a prosecution,
and if it is found to warrant an action
and not to indicate a technical violation
he enters the action. Most of these fifty
six cases come from Sioux City and vicin-
lty, where one Of Capt. Lathrop's recent
ly appointed deputies is waging a vigor-
u campaign against the bo~ot-leggers
and the holes in the wall.

THE most interesting point IN the adj
mission Of the four new States, Is that
between the two sections Of Dakota
lies an Indian reservation one hundred
miles wide.
That territory. rich in all the features
that tempt settlers, is held by the Sioux
Indians. the most powerful Of all the
tfil es. and It will De a question before
Congress how TO pay out the claim Of
the Sioux Nation and open the country
f. ,sttlers. The settlers cause is the
,peculators excuse, and 1t remains for
The lobby OK Congress to take hold OF
the question before the patriots on the
AAor OF Congress can be persuaded TO
$50 the Justice Of opening up that Indian
bad land that cuts the two sections OF
Dakota in twain.
Where the Indians will 80 to Is a
.acondary consideration. One theory
Is TO put all the Indian scalp hunters 10
work ON farms and teach the Little
Indians TO 20 TO school aud learn to
shoot and tell the truth-but they must
,hoot the Winchester rifle and revolver
Ike the civilized pale face cowboy and
rot the bow and arrow of the savage
and they must also learn that civil'za-
ton means speculation in lndiSn lands
without any stock TO the Indian.

The TINS is a Democratic paper. and
will not agree 10 4 compromise between
the fundamental principle Of taxes to
support government aud the opposing
idea Of taxes to support monopoly.
The people Of this country have pre-
scented to them two antagonistic ideas ;
one isa government for tho people and
by the people with taxes to support
government. and the other is the idea
OF high protective taxes, which means
a surplus Of hundred millions year
and no way tospend it except on bogus
pensions. which in few years must
expire by limitation, since 1t Is a fact
not TO be denied that Corporal Tanners
pensioners, widows of bummeis with
cases made cut by shark pension law
yers, must all be gone.
The people Of this free country are
.otitled to have the necessary articles
OF life OF the same prices as the people
of other countries get them, instead Of
being forced to pay 70 per cent. and
100 hundred per cent tribute to the
monopoly ring that is allowed to con-
troll the market.
Further than this: The mechanics
and workers Of America are entitled to
have raw materials from the supply Of
the whole world free, as workers ID
other countries get them in order that
they can compete in the markets OF the
world. But as it is now our artisans must
liza narrowed down to a home market
controlled by the few monopolists.
We bring the question home with
the citation of the fact that IN Canada
the citizen gets his apparel from bis
cocks and his shoes mp to the hat for
one. half what the citizen Of the States
NAYS. and il applies to ali grades OF
goods worn by the rich man or the
poor man. Let the people ask the
radical party the meaning OF tins
wrong, until Mr. President Harrison
aad his party are COMPOUNDED.
But we cannot bring the Republican
marty down 10 hard pan ard force them
to a confession of judgment. # certain
Democratic leaders and would-be Dem
ocratic organs dodge the issue ard
truckle 10 the enemies Of our free IN
