THE Prohibition vote defeated Gov
ernor Foraker and caused the election
of Democratic majority in the General
Assembly. The Dow law may not be
repeated, but the effect of Democratic
success is already seen iu Cincinnati and
some other cities where, since election,
the Sunday closing law has been openly
defied. The restrictive laws will uOt en-
force themselves, and the new admiuis-
tration will not aid in enforcing them.
The result will be great increase in
drunkenness and disorder during the
next two years, That is what the Pro-
hibitionists of Ohio will have to show as
the effect of their Temperance" politics.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

/ New 1Ork PreSS.
A recent issue of the american Econ
omiSt contains an interesting letter on
the benefit of making the tin plate duty
higher so as to create the industry in
this country. We extract the following
sentences:
suppose the manufacture of plate
under protective duty should prove to be
profitable, is it reasonable to suppose
that Others would not stand ready to
embark in it also? And hence compe-
tition is sure to bring prices down.
"Tin-plate of the market is represent
ed to contain only about per cent. of
tin and 81 per cent. of iron. 1t is iron
plate, with the thinnest coating of tin
on the surface. We are sending every
year $20,000,000 out of the country to
purchase tin we might and ought to
make here at home. Have we not
mountains iron? Then why import it
in this way?
'As to tin, should we find it impracti-
bable at first from our own mines, we
might import from other countries as
England does.
"Tin has now come to be an article of
great Importance, and we are dependent
on England for supply. Should a lit
tie unpleasantness arise between Amer
lea and England, would it be at all credit
able to us as nation to be dependent
on her for onr supply of TIM"
We could easily import tin ore from
Durango, Mexico, as it is duty free. The

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE
Is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflammatory rhuematism
is confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is
reached that fine preventive. Hosteter's
Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of
rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary
suffering is avoided. Nervine, anodynes
and sedatives, while having none but
specific effect, are yet very desirable at
times. Yet can they produce no lasting
effect upon rheumatism, because they
have no power to eliminate from the
blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at
the outset disease which, if allowed to
gain headway, it is next to impossible to
dislodge or to do more than relieve
rheumatism, it should be remembered, is
disease with fatal tendency from its
proneness to attack the heart. A resort
to the Bitters should, therefore, be
prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney complaint,
malaria and nervousness are relieved
by it. II 7-4t.

GOOD NEws.-We want every mother
to know that Group can be prevented
True Group never appears without a
warning. The first symptom is hoarse-
ness; then the child appears to have taken
a cold, or cold may have accompanied
the hoarseness from the start After that
apeculiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by the Group. The time to
act is when the child first becomes hoarse;
few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy would prevent the attack. Even af-
ter the rough cough has appeared, the
disease may be prevented by using this
remedy as directed. The only safe way
is to keep soc bottle of the Remedy in

TAXES. AND WARTAXES AT

| TAXES, AND WAR TAXES AT THAT
The Presidential year silenced the
parrot which daily chartered "The tariff
is tax" but spared the Albany Aryus
which still has energy to repeat the psit.
taceous cry. The Argus learns from the
report of United States Treasurer Hus-
ton that the surplus was increased in the
last fiscal year by $S8,000,000, though
S17,000,000 was spent for premiums on
bonds, and all this it gleefully halls as
taxes. The late elections have had re-
viving effect on the Argus. Let no one
be surprised if the parrot itself shall
soon creep out from some corner, and,
arrayed in new plumage, utter once
more its favorite note, 1.-The tariff is a
tax.-Syracatse Journal.
Yes, the surplus for the fiscal year
was S90, 100000, and the total surplus in
the Treasury was increased by that
amount, and, what is more to the point,
it was all taxes, internal revenue taxes,
ssar taxes. Tie intcrnel-ravenue- re-
ceipts were S130,994,434 or 100000
more in round numbers than the annual
surplus, and $685., ,959 more than these
taxes amounted to in the previous fiscal
year.
This rate of increase bids fair to be
doubled this year if the internal revenue
taxes continue on the present basis, for
the first three months of the present fis-
cal year shows an increase of $3,470,S07
or at the rate of sl3,983,28S year, in
the receipts.
These war taxes tax the large agricul-
tural industries of corn and tobacco
The taxes on alcohol used in the arts
and on tobacco should be repealed with
out delay. They were put on for war pur-
poses, ,and they are burdens on industries.
They should go.-N. Y. Press.

who identified the corpse found in the
sewer as that of CrOnin was recalled.
He reiterated bis testimony and went
into minute details. Two or three un-
Irish-looking persons who assembled to
the grand jury star chamber succeeded
in keeping their identity and relations
to the case secret. The rumOr spread
that one OF them was aScotland yard de-
tective, but the report lacked cOntirma-

by detectives and questioned as to
whether he had noticed any suspicious

date. Cummings consulted his diary
and replied that he made note of

OF Burke was then shown Cummings,
and he at once recOgnizedin the photo

for ''spotter.' Burke bought his ticket
for Liverpool from Calder's Steamship

he did he did not want the ticket.
Burke also requested the ticket agency

There are so many circumstances lndl-

with the Cronin murder that no one
doubts that he will be extradited.
Judge Balm has as much as intimated
that he will allow no technical point OF
law to stand between Burke and JUS
tice. Assistant States Attorney Baker

necessary documents, and the case will
be presumed next Tuesday, and continue

WAS HERMAN MURDERED?
The Finding Of q Skull Suggests
CHASTITY Possibilities.

Special to the Globe
RoYALToN, June 2s.-Last November
two hunters, w. w. and F. M. Ward,
while hunting in the town of Parker,
this county, got lost in the woods. They
came upon deserted logging camp in
the heart of the forest, and here they
decided to seek shelter for the night.
Imagine their surprise, when on enter
ing the hut, almost the first thing that
greeted their eyes was human skull.
One of the men picked it up, thinking it
was cup or basin of some kind. The
men remained in the camp all night,
and in the morning notified several res
idents of the town of their CHASTITY find.
On July 8, eight years ago, a German
named Herman, "a resident of the town of
Parker, very mysteriously disappeared.
He was seen in Little Falls that day.
He had several hundred dollars on his
person. He bought suit of clothes of
one of the merchants and started for
home, but he never reached home, and
has not been heard of since. His dis
appearance caused quite sensation at

South Dakota Liquor Dealers Will
Fight Against Prohibition.

Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, Dak.. June 2S.-The liquor
dealers of South Dakota have perfected
an active organization to operate against
the adoption of the prohibition clause
of the Sioux Falls constitution at the
October election. The organization en-
trusts it's management to an executive
committee, and this committee has been
in session in Yankton during the pres
ent week and will meet again in few
days at Aberdeen. An active contest
will be made, and as the prohibiti0nists
are also engaged in an active canvass it
is certain that the sentiments of every
one will be expressed at the Falls on
election day. Surface indications are
that the prohibition side is numerically
the stronger of the two, and these indi-
cations stimulate the opponents of pro-
hibition to the most vigorous efforts in
behalf of their side of the issue. The
fact that from 1880 to 1885 SIX of the
seven states voting on the subject
adopted prohibition, while from 1885 to
1889, of nine states voting upon the
question all gave majorities against por-
hibition, gives the Canning, S. D., con-
fiict added interest.

of helpless men and women, the terror

patients were roughly and brutally
treated. What reply DR.. Bowers may

one in the court room, excepting two
persons. approached the judge, took

the police headquarters where he
found Chief Speers and told
him what he had seen. Chief SpeerS
himself went to arrest Cooney, but he

BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.
Lena Webber Cannot Survive Her
Injuries.

LA CROSSE. Wis, June 2s.-Thus far
the police have been unsuccessful in
their efforts to establish the identity of
the murderous burglar who entered the
house of John Webber yesterday morn
ing and so horribly cut Lena, one of his
daughters. Of the number of persons
who were arrested ON suspicion, ten
have been held for examination, which
will be held tomorrow. Among those
arrested is one rough-looking fell
low, on whom were found blood
stained knife and handkerchief which
had the appearance of being used in
wiping the bloody blade. Doctors are
examining the blood stains. and the
police are making thorough investiga-
ton. The injured girl still fingers be-
tween life and death, and the doctors
state that her death is only a question
of few hours. The excitement is as
great as yesterday, and lynching is
freely talked of on all sides.
