THE "TiMESu AND BONFlELD

CHICAGO, Jan 17.-The Times tomorrow
will say: Within the past week it has
been promised on behalf of Mayor Roche
that he would dismiss from Office for cor
ruption and dishonesty Inspector F. Bon
field and Captain Setback, the two police
officers SO widely known through their
connection with the Haymarket riot and
hanging of anarchists. This announce
ment is made in reply to proposition sent
in this afternoon from Mayor Roche to
j. j. West, proprietor of the Times,
asking that all evidence against the
police officers be submitted to three
well known citizens named, the purpose
stated by the mayor being to determine
whether the Times demand for the imme-
date suspension OF accused should be ac-
coded to pending a trial Of the matter in
court The Times answer to be published
tomorrow, is that sufficient proof against
the police officials was some days ago sub
mitted to the mayors intimate associates
and representatives and that the Times
was thereupou repeatedly assured of the
discharge of Bontield and Setback forth
with.
Having gone to such length in public
interest the Times will not now be in
weighed in tsuch subterfuge. which may
injure the defense of the 100000 of libel
suits and other legal proceedings against
the paper. That evidence, the Times says,
should not be furnished to anybody not
empowered by law to punish crime. This
is a course not, however, without its ex-
traordinary disclosures. Mr. Roche's reply
closing to continue to present to the pub
lie additional evidence rejecting upon the
integrity, not only of the officials men,
toned, but of others"

TARIFF eAeiIE MEETING.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE American
Protective tariff league dined at Delmon-
ico's this evening. There were present S25
members and guests. President T. II.
Hamilton welcomed the guests and stated
that there are now 900 members of the
league who have contributed over 5000
to further its purposes; 150, 600, GOO pages Of
tariff statements and arguments had been
sent out to the states and territories.
Hon. j. +. Hanson, of Georgia, speaking
20 the toast of 1.-TWO SOuths' and having
referred to the recent campaign said: IF
the results of that campaign as they indi-
cate public Judgment and public will,
amount to anything the Republican party
up the internal revenue system by the
roots and secure the permanancy Of
the American policy of protection.
Whatever may be the sentiment
OF the southern people with reference
to the question of protection, they are
overwhelmingly opposed to internal feder-
al taxation and will cooperate in any
moment for its repeal. That the south
proposed to destroy the protective system
no man of candor and intelligence
will deny. In view of this purpose
the man or party who will save the
political south from itself and save the
country from the political south will best
promote the interests of the south and the
country. If the cause of protection fails in
this country it will fail at the hands of
the solid south. If the white south loses
control of her local affairs it will be by
reason of her folly in using her abnormal
political power for the purpose of check
ing American progress through the dis
truction of the American system"
When Hon. Warner Miller was intro
duced and illusions were made to cab
nOSitiOn far r ba Naw York Statesman
there was volley of cheers and applause
Mr.. Miller spoke on the influence Of tariff
on commerce and shipping and undertook
to show by facts and figures that the pros
perity of the country was due solely to
high tariff.

UNRESTRAINED LAWLESSNESS.
A Terrible State of Affairs Reported in
Kemper County, Mississippi.

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 1.-THE following
letter will appear in the NewMississippian
a copy of which was handed tonight to q
correspondent Of the Associated Press:
SHAGULAK, Miss. Jan. II.
Editor New Mississippian
Dear Sir-I sent you a telegram this
morning giving a short account of what is
going on in the northern part of KempeI
and southern part of Noxubee. had pre-
viously written the governor on the
same subject. | am not a sensational
ist, but when a mob composed of
the most depraved part Of our community
can rob and plumber defenceless women
and children and drive them from their
homes, carrying on their barbarous work
for more than three weeks without check
or hindrance. it is time some one takes
the initiative and appeal to those who are
high in authority and have been intrust-
ed with our lives.
Crimes have been committed that the
outside world have not dreamed of.
Brutes, feeling no restraint of law or
honor have endeavored to see how deep
they could steep themselves in infafly.
AS / telegraphed you today. over forty
families, by actual count, bave been driven
from their homes. Many of these fami-
lies, by years of industry and economy,
have paid for lands and had stock and
supplies sufficient TO make crops. These
people have committed no crime unless,
indeed, it is crime to be born black
No charge been made against them.
Three families, who sent to me yesterday
for protection have been notified to leave
within i've days. One woman had child
eleved days old, and another child about
three weeks old. Their limit will expire
tomorrow, They are now rushing through
mud and rain hauling their corn meal and
bedding and household furniture to save
them from the vandals.
1t is time the press of the state should be
aroused. We have been commonly negli-
gent in permitting these outrages TO go on
almost at our doors without giving any
notice to the outside world. am per-
haps, not competent to judge, but it does
seem that the governor of the state ought
10 place these people back on their farms
and protect them there in the enjoyment of
the fruits of their labor and comforts
of their homes if it should take the militia
of the state to do ii.
Make what use you please of this letter.
If it will serve even in a slight degree to
draw attention of lovers of law and fair
play it viii have served good purpose
Respectfully,
,. L.. CHAMBERLAIN.
Governor Lowrey is making diligent in
quiry into the facts and will take all
necessary measures to suppress lawless-
ness.

SRERlDAN,S MEMOIRS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lex Govern or
Curtin. of Pennsylvania, has written a
letter to Mrs. Sheridan concerning the
personal memoirs of the general, in which
he says: at is a book which ought to be
in the hands, not only of every surviving
soldier of the war of rebellion on both
sides, but of every American who loves his
his country and is proud of her heroes. 1t
is clear, simple and graphic narrative of
the events Of the generals life. modest in
its.relation of personal details and gener-
Gus in its recognition of the merits and
achievements of his companions in arms:
is perfect illustration of the mind and
character of the gallant and genial hero
whom all honored and loved. Every page
is of absorbing interest and in my opinion
it is destined to take its place among those
fortunate books that mankind delight to
read and cherish. 1t is, besides, most
valuable as an authentic record of histori-
cal events of vast Importance.

AN oLD-TIME POSTMASTER.

WEsTCHEsTFR. n. Y, Jan. IA petit
ton is being circulated among the resi-
dents of Yerkton asking the president to
retire Postmaster Lewis Purdy from
active service and grant him liberal pen

Purdy is said to be the oldest postmaster
in the United States both in years and SER
vice, having been appointed postmaster at

rison in 1871. Mr. Purdy is
now 93 years of age and re-

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
To the Editor OF the EAGLE.


Alas! frequently nothing. Not the
smallest, feeblest ray of intelligence or
meaning. One would suppose that some
Wichita streets were named to confuse
people who read. In addition to thesim-
provements already suggested by some of
your correspondents there is one l have
not seen mentioned and that is the geo.
graphical outrages which the fathers per-
petrated when they christened some of
the streets east of Main and north OF
Douglas avenues. For instance, a
pedestrian going east, we will say,
on Second street comes to Wa
bash. What is more natural than for him
to expect that if the geographical nomen-
clature is continued that the next street
east will be Indiana. But in spite of the
experience of all persons who have crossed
the Wabash going east, our Wichita
pedestrian is astonished to find that he
goes Immediately from Wabash to Ohio.
and then continuing eastward, from Ohio
he passes next into Indiana. Still con-
tinuing eastward he comes to New York
and east of New York he discovers Penn
sylvania. By this time our pedestrian, if
a stranger, will have his idea of direction
pretty badly muddled. That is if he de-
ponds on street names to direct him. In
view of the chaotic disorder in which
many of them now stand it might truly
be said, BLESSED are they who cannot

MANY CALLERS.
Politicians Pay Their Respects to the
President-Elect.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. E.-(Ieneral Harri-
son had an unusually large number of
callers today, both from out of town and
at home. Among his morning callers was
Hon. H. w Stone, the messenger from the
electoral college of Minnesota, Ell route to
Washington with the official presidential
vote of that state He brought a con-
gratulatory memorial from his colleagues
to the president-elect and resumed his
journey this afternoon.
Geo. Short and O. p. McIlraith. two
railroad men from Cleveland, O., also called
this morning and had brief interview. To
the reporters they let it be known that
they were friends of Governor Foraker
and opposed TO the Hon. s. T. Everett. of
Cleveland, becoming a member of Presi-
dent Harrison's cabinet, as that gentle
man was closely identified with the Sher-
man element IN Ohio They intimated
that they said this much TO the president
elect.
Mr. Everett was chairman of the elector-
al delegation that called on General Har-
rison, Tuesday last, but it is asserted
strongly by gentlemen in a position to
know that neither MIR. Everett or frieuds
are making any effort for a cabinet place
The visit of Messrs. Short and NcIlraith
was. therefore, matter of surprise when
they made public their mission.
A prominent southern visitor was Capt
+. w Ward, of North Carolina. a son of
General ". L. Ward, who for time COM
manded the division TO which General
Harrison's brigade was attached. Captain
Ward is anti-Mahone and came as the rep
resentative of North Carolina Republicans
to tell the presi0eut-elect that his people
preferred EX-Congressman Dochery to
General Malone
Hon. j. w. Dwight, of Dryden, y. Y.
one of the delegates TO Chicago, called on
his way from Dakota, where he has large
ranch interests, and he, like all the other
visitors from Dakota, is anxious for the
early admission of the territory as two
states. 1t is understood Mr.. Dwight nut
In a word favoring ex-senator Platt.
General Harrison's mail seems TO steadily
increase the nearer the 4th of March ap-
proaches. Calendars by the score have ar
rived from all parts of the country, but
the bulk of his mail consists of applications
for office. AT first endorsement and ap-
pllcations Were chiefly confined to cabinet
places and the higher grades of offices. but
now ne is being flooded with hundreds of
letters asking for petty clerkships, and is
even petltloned for janitorships and watch
men. For the benefit of those making or
about 10 make such applications, it might
be OF interest TO state that these petitions
are premature. General Harrison has no
time now to peruse them, and prob
ably not one in a hundred reach
his eye: They are simply endorsed
and fled away for reference
when the general gets settled down at
Washington and reaches the respective
cases. Not one of them will be passed
