The Senate Tariff bill says lead ores
nav be admitted from Mexico and other
foreign countries at thirty dollars per ton
duty. Is this not high treason Where
are the Nevada protectionists who were
frightened into conniption fits over a $50
rate in the Mills billi The Mills bill
fixed the duty on lead and lead ores at
$40. That was called rank free trade in
these parts last Fall, and the Democratic
party was accused Of plotting to give the
whole United States away to England.
IL is all wrong for the Democratic House
to attempt to do anything, but it is all
right for the Republican Senate to do the
identical same thing. What knavery
and inconsistency is all this, anyhow!
1t is cause for wonder il there can ever
be again in this country, decency in poll.
tics and the treatment of public ques-
tions. We seriously doubt IL. Reckless
misrepresentation and downright lying
have come to be the chief weapons OF the
Republican leaders Of both high and low
degree.
As a matter Of fact, there should be
no reduction in the duty on lead by either
House or party. The lead OF this eoun-
try is produced in the interior OF the
continent. II costs SIS per ton to get
over unrestrained railroads to market,
whereas, Spanish lead may reach our sea-
board in ballast at S. per ton. These
conditions make the l~ead.producing in
dustry as one especially deserving the
fostering care Of the Government-more
SO than any Of the pampered and highly
favored industries of the East. Under
no circumstances should a pound Of lead
be permitted to enter our ports without
the payment Of $40 per ton for the priv
ilege. The proposed reduction by the
Senate to $50 will destroy all low grade
silver-lead mining in this country. The
measure should never pass in that shape.

Special Dispatch to the Ledger.

Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
PITTsFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 3d.
Sheriff Windmiller and Thomas
Grimes arrived here from Mexico
yesterday with the negro boy,
Marshall Williams, alias Delphy,
who committed the outrage on the
ten-year-old school girl, Oracle
Grimes, near Nebo, this county,
last Friday afternoon. The negro
was at once taken to Jail and this
morning was brought face to face
with his victim, who fully recog-
nized him as the person who as
saulted her. The little girl was
barely able to travel from her home
to this place, from the effects OF
her injuries and severe fright. She
was carried in her fathers arms to
the Jail and her identification OF
the negro was positive. The ac-
cused still stoutly denies the crime,
but the girls quick recognition OF
him set all doubts aside. There
is loud and strong talk of lynching
the boy and threats from groups OF
excited men on all corners a be
heard. Several good and determin.
ed citizens of the vicinity of Nebo
came to this place with the girl
last night and Immediately upon
his identity being made clear they
returned hastily to their homes, NO
doubt to organize a mob to take
him. The citizens of this town,
also, are greatly excited and the
sheriff fears trouble tonight. The
people of this part of Illinois
"don't like a niger nohow," and
Williams stands a slim chance OF
saving his neck. The town Of
Nebo will not tolerate a negro in it,
and if the prisoner had been
brought through there, he would
have been lynched.
An examination of the girl by
physicians shows that the brute
accomplished his purpose.

The total coal consumption of
the world is said to amount to
upwards of 100000 hundred
weight per hour. OF this quantity
about 40,0O0 hundred weight are
required per hour in order to heat
the boilers for stationary and
marine engines, locomotives, etc.
The production of pig iron absorbs
100000 hundred weight and that of
other metal 80, 600 hundred weight
per hour. The average hourly
consumption of household coal is
reckoned at 100000 hundred
weight, but the total production is
estimated at 100000 hundred
weight TO 100000 hundred
weight per diem, so there is q con-
siderable margin.
