Canning Facto ry Destroyed.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TYLER, April About IL O'Clock last
night the main building of the Tyler
Canning company caught fire from an un
known cduse and burned down. This was
the largest and most completely equipped
establishment of its kind south of St.
Louis. Total loss is $4,000, with
insurance amounting to $4,000.
A house of canned goods which
stood near to and north of the main
building was saved by the efforts of the
fire company and citizens. Four box cars
belonging to the Cotton Belt, which were
standing on a side track opposite the fac.
tory, were burned, and the telegraph and
telephones wires burned down for a con-
siderable distance.

The Steamer Nanticoke.

CHICAGO, April 3.-News was received in
this city this morning of the arrival at
Key West of the steamer Nauticoke and
her departure for Ruatsn. All on board
we're we'll. The Nanticoke is the steamer
which was supposed to have been in col
lision with the Haytiau guuboat Conserva
off Norfolk, Va, one day last week. I'm
til the receipt of this news neither of these
vessels had been heard of since that time,
and the amount and character of the
wreckage found floating in the vicinity
led to the supposition that both vessels
had gone down.

a Foreigner Who Says He Was Hired
to Murder q Woman.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April A special from
Newark, o., says the conduct of two men
excited the suspicion of Officer Henry
Lauffer last night, and he took them in
charge. They were both foreigners and
unable to speak word of English. The
Off ser, who is German, addressed them
in that language, and from one, who was
also a German, he learned their names
we're John Schmidt and VIM. Michaelow
sky. The latter Is a Bohemian, and ap-
peared as though he was haunted by the
thought of some terrible crime. When
ques toned he partially admitted he and
his companion had been guilty of crime,
but seemed fearful of the consequences if
he confessed.
The officer told him he would have no
peace of mind until he made known the
trouble, if wrong had been done. After
considerable hesitancy the man Schmidt
unloosened himself and told the police
man he and his companion had two
months ago been hired to murder woman
in the city of New York, and for doing the
Job had received the sum of $50. She was
widow by the name of LAWN, and
resided on Forty-f treet, but what
number they could not give. The deed
had been accomplished he said by the ad-
ministration of poison furnished by the
person employing them to do the work.
The name of this person was not given.
So i'm pressed was the officer with the
truthfulness of the story that he detained
the supposed murderers here, and has tel
egraphed to the authorities In New York
to learn the facts. The men will be held
here until word has been received.

The Tribune suggests that it would
be well to bond the city in the sum OF
$4,000 to be used for the purpose of
encouraging manufacturing enter
prises. A great deal of talk passes
current about towns growing and
prospering by granting and offering
encouragement to the establishment of
factories. Some of this talk is sound
and some of it is not. There are
many enterprises having in themselves
the elements Of success, which it would
pay the people of a town to assist.
But there are also numerous other
proposed ventures which would prove
dead losses to the communities taking
stock in them, and these ought to be
carefully avoided. Citizens of a town
who Dlindly vote to invest their money
in speculation, without first knowing
what that speculation is, are foolish
in the extreme. If any party has a
feasible scheme for starting in this
city, an enterprise. which by the in
yestment of the necessary capital, will
prove successful and profitable, the
money can doubtless be raised with,
ont bonding the city.

The Revolt from High Tariff.
The Madison Democrat


The argument of Mr. Cleveland for
free raw material is not overborne.
Corruption defeated HIM, but his
manly stand has given an impetus to
tariff reform. Gov. Ames, of Mass
achusetts, the republican governor,
has just signed petition demanding
free coal, free iron ore and reduction
of the duties on pig and scrap iron
and steel
The second thought of the country
is coming to perceive how wise and
sagacious Mr.. Cleveland was. They
are coming to understand how shame
fully he was belied and misrepre-
scented by high tariff men. He was an
honest protectionist. He saw that in
order To protect our workingmen in
the most eflectual manner there was
need of large addition to the free
list of things that were the raw ma
terial of our manufacturers. The
Philadelphia Times in commenting on
this subject says: " Free raw materials
have become an essential element OF
protection to American labor, and if
we would maintain the true protective
policy of protecting the wages of
American workingmen, we must en-
large our free list to embrace wool,
hemp, coal with Canada, with greatly
cheapened chemicals and dyestutfs,
with salt and lumber added to the free
list, to overthrow monopoly combines
and aid labor by cheapened necessa-
rieS of life. Iron ore is chiefly labor.
and whether it should be free is simply
question whether our general indus
tries would be benefited or crippled
thereby: but all doubts should be re-
solved in favor of free raw materials
for our important Industries. The
necessity has become 50 great for an
advance in free raw materials for the
maintenance of protection to Amer
lean labor, that no party can stand
against it. The cry of free trade has
lost its effect, and intelligent men of
all parties now understand that free
raw materials, with protection TO our
products to the difference in wages of
labor here and abroad, is now the only
true standard of protection to Amer
lean workingmen. Any other basis of
tariff taxes must be either for the de-
struction of our industries, or for the
special protection of monopoly trusts,
which cheaper wages and increase the
cost of the necesSaries of life. Let
all be honest in the advocacy of pro-
lection and the protection of labor
will be invincible; but if protection
shall be prostituted to greed and op-
preston, it must prove its own most
dangerous foe" This is practically
the doctrine that Mr.. Cleveland taught
Moderate, conservative, bu' bold
enough to demand what was AZ essen
tial reform, his opinions were ruth
lessly rejected; and now the very doc
trines that he proclaimed are becoming
the creed of the manufacturers of New
England; and their movement is so
united, that even the governor of the
state of Massachusetts,, republican
and protectionist, and the protection
list senator from New Hampshire
hasten to put themselves into the free
raw material procession.
