THE position Of the republican party
on the tariff is correctly stated by the
president in his message, as follows:
"The preparation for new schedule OF
custom duties is matter of great deli
cacy because Of its effect upon the bust
ness Of the country, and Of great diff
Guilty by reason Of the wide divergence
of opinion as to the objects that may be
promoted by such Legislation. Some
disturbance of business may perhaps re-
suit from consideration of this subject
by Congress, but this temporary i'll eff
feet will be reduced to a minimum by
prompt action and assurance which the
country enjoys that any necessary chan
ges will be soon made as not to impair
the just and reasonable protection OF our
home and industries. The capabilities of
the law should be adjusted but the pro-
tective principle should be maintained
and fairly applied to the products of our
farms as well as our shops. These du-
ties necessarily have relation to other
things besides the public revenues. We
cannot limit their effects by fixing our
eyes on the public treasury alone. They
have direct relation to home produc-
ton, to work, to wages and to CONNER
cial independence OF our country, and
the wise and patriotic legislator should
enlarge the field of his vision to include
all Of these. The necessary reduction IN
our public revenues can, I am sure, be
made without making the smaller bur
den more onerous than the larger by
reason of the disabilities and limitations
which the process OF reduction puts up
on both capital and labor. The free list
can very safely be extended by placing
thereon articles that do not offer injuri-
GUS competition to such domestic pro-
ducts as our home labor can supply.
The removal Of the internal tax upon to-
bacco would relieve an important agri-
cultural product from burden which
was imposed only because our revenue
from customs duties was insufficient for
the public needs. If safe provision
against fraud can be devised the removal
of the tax upon spirits used in the arts
and in manufactures would also offer an
objectional method OF reducing the sur
plus"

The freight took out car OF hogs
Sunday.
Daniel Haley, who resides half way be-
tween here and Genesee on that road, on
last Sunday morning, while engaged in
removing the top covering to one Of his
hay stacks, climbed to the top OF the
stack to remove the peak in order to
make fresh cut into the stack when he
slipped and must have fallen with IN
equal force upon his left leg, for the fall
shivered the bone just above the ankle
shin bone, for particles Of the bone we're
forced through his pants and boot leg
Drs. WilseY and Cox were called and at
ter an examination found a compound
comminuted fracture and the two sur
geons had to resort to making an incis-
ion on the outside OF the leg in order to
reach and remove the small particles OF
bone.

WHAT is the average man to think
about the silver question when there ex-
lists such difference of opinion among
statesmen and fnanciers of both parties
on this important question: One thlnS
is certain to the mind of every dlslnter-
estsd citizen, namely: The question
shouId be discussed and acted upon, not
because it will favor or prejudice the IN
terests OF certain localities or individuals
but having in view the best interests OF
the government and the placing OF us
money on real and solid basis. Un-
der the present system the silver dollar
is actually worth rs cents, therefore, II
has about 8 of real and ! of fiat value
while gold is worth 100 cents, less cost
Of coinage. By having two metal stand
ards of money an equiibrity is obtained
which checks the fluctuations in the
vslue and hence, avoids scarcity OF
money. That the unlimited or compuI-
cory coinage of silver dollars is not de-
manded by the people is evident from
the fact that nearly five times the num-
Der of dollars are lying in the treasury
vaults than have been put in Circulation
notwithstanding the endeavors made to
do go. Secretary Window submits the
following plan for utilizing silver for

Race Origin.

NJ. de Quatrefages, the French sthnol-
ogist, has published his conclusions with
regard to the origin and distribution Of
the human race. He says all mankind
came from central mass in northern
Asia, and there were three fundamental
types, black, white and yellow. These
three types scattered over the world.
They intermingled, and in time formed
seventy-two distinct races, now repre-
scented on the globe. The American In
dian came from the blending Of the
white and yellow races with "looal
uuaternary race" All this is sufficiently
hazy to be scientific, but it does not 90
count for the American Indian And,
besides, how did the three different col
ored races-white, black and yellow
happen to spring from the same placer

Rich American Women.

Mr.. w. E Curtis contributes to the
October Cosmopolitan magazine a list of
American women whose wealth in their
own right foots up into the millions
He startles US in the outset by telling US
there are In the United States today two
dozen women who have more money
than any of the crowned heads Of
Europe, except Queen Victoria, the rich
est one. There are half a dozen of our
Aladies who are as rich as even Queen
Victoria herself. American women are
all queens, as has been remarked several
hundred times
The wealthy women Mr.. Curtis names
are variously distributed among the nor
thern cities. It is noticeable that mono
come from any place south of Baltimore.
The richest woman in the world Is the
widow of w. H Vanderbilt. It Is Of
course impossible to know just how
much any rich person is worth. and the
wealth Of all who have any considerable
property is grossly exaggerated in popu-
lar report 1t is, however, probably safe
to say that Mrs Vanderbilt would "out
up" for not less than s35, 100000.
The next richest woman in America is
Mrs, Marshall o. Roberts, also Of New
York, who is estimated" to be worth
S20,000,000 Not tsw of the rich wo-
men named are descendants Of old New
York families, who became rich through
the, "unearned increment" Of the rise in
real estate. The deed which the original
Dutch settlers obtained from the In
dams ceding to the whites the whole OF
Manhattan island, on which New York
now stands, has turned up among some
ancient papers in family descended from
some of these shrewd Dutchmen- From
this deed it appears that the price origin
ally paid for the whole ground was $24.
There are numerous American single
women among those mentioned, and it ia
rather surprising that several Of them
have kept both their wealth and their
single blessedness to the age Of 85 or DO.
The richest single women in the Union
are Miss Mary Garrett, Of Baltimore.
and Miss Jennie Flood, of San Francisco
They are worth each from Ssteen TO
twenty millions. None Of the women
earned their millions themselves, unless
those who, when young girls, married
aged men, may be said to have done So
It is to be remarked, though, several Of
the elderly women helped their husbands
not a little while they were "getting a
start" Jay Gould's daughter Helen will
inherit many millions, and already has
several in her own right, left to her BY
her mother. Mrs. Leland Stanford, OF
California, has the most magnificent
collection of diamonds Of any private in
dividual in the world, her jewels being
valued at over two million dollarR

Mr.. Charles Hall, a member Of the
British parliament, is on his way to
America to attend the maritime confer
ence at Washington. In a farewell
speech Mr.. Hall said that for the first
time in history England, the mistress Of
the seas, was sending delegation to a
maritime conference abroad. This fact
showed the great Importance Of the mat
tiers to be discussed at the Washington
conference. Mr.. Hall might also have
added that It showed the interdepend-
ence Of nations on one another. Let us

How many rich and idle women are
there that spend their time as the wife
of Robert Ray Hamilton spends hers,
since she has been in prison? She smokes
cigarettes and reads Ouida's novels. I'm
fortunately occupations like these meas
ure the value of the time of too many
women who are released from working
for their living. So far as doing the
world any good is concerned there are
quite too many Eva Hamiltons among
those whose wealth and leisure give
them power to do the most good.

An Italian paper, The Diritto, has also
something to say about the international
American congress. One remark shows
the uneasiness in Europe on its account,
as follows: 1.-THE congress indicates the
possibility of two dangers-the hege-
mony Of the Anglo-Saxon race over the
Latin race and a coalition Of the
American states against the products
of Europe. 1t cannot be said that civil
cation has reached its highest outcome
when the harmony and prosperity of one
set of nations is considered to mean the
injury of another set

Press. A letter from ]. @ A. Campbell, editor
of the Bellefontaine CO., Republican,, which
was received to-day, inquired after the relia-
bility of one C. II. Warner, who had sent
him a proposition for advertising, TO be
paid for by check on demand. Mr.
Campbell was suspicious, and de-
sired information. The advertising matter
offered was in the shape of reading notices TO
the effect that Wood Thornburg Il Co. import
ers of London, New York AMI San Francisco,
had purchased large stocks in fine plush, silk
and hosiery at great sacrifice in London and
would sell it in limited quantities TO individ-
uals in this country at prices away below actual
cost. No goods would be sent c. o. D., but
the cash must accompany the order. All orders
must be sent to C. II. Warner, Union block,

promptly.

FIRED THROUGH THE WINDOW.
An Old Lady Murdered and a Young Girl
Probably EataIly Iniured.


LANSING, Mich, Jan. IA horrible murder
was committed last night in Delphi township,
about seven miles from this city, Christian
Stochal, Polander, resides on a small farm
near Holt with his family. consisting OF his
wife, aged Sixty-three years, his son Fred, aged
twenty, and Minnie Fats, his thirteen-year-
old granddaughter. Stochal went TO bed about
So'clock last night in the only room in the
cabin. Minnie retired a short time later 70
another bed and her grandmother was disrob-
ing when shotgun was discharged just out
side the east window of the cabin. The shot
crashed through the glass and struck Mrs.
Stockal over the heart. Minnie sprang up in
bed at the sound of the shot and the gun was
discharged second time, the load striking the
child In the breast Minnie sprang up a ladder
in the corner of the room to the loft above and
her grandmother was attempting TO follow her
when a third load OF shot struck the old woman
IN the back and she fell down the ladder TO the
floor, dead.
AS StOckal sprang out Of bed. dazed with
sleep. fourth shot struck him IN the head
though but few of the shot hit him. Stockal
crawled out of bed and seeing the murderer
standing several rods from the house, slipped
off IN another direction and barefooted and
clad only IN shirt and drawers, ran through a
tamarack swamp IN the intense darkness TO the
house OF Cornelius Driscoll, half mile west.
Deputy Sheriff and Cook Coroner Bennett of
Lansing were telegraphed to from Holt and
went to StOckars place at o'clock this morn
ing. 1t required very little time to convince
them who the murderer was, almost beyond
the possibility OF a doubt. August Tanto,
nineteen years DID, who is acquainted with the
Stockals yesterday borrowed a Winchester
repeating rifle. Young TantO filled the
chamber of the gun with cartridges
loaded with bird shot and went 10
StOckaPs. where he remained from TO o clock
In the afternoon. He then left, saying he was
going to Charles Crantz's house, but instead
the officers found that he had hid behind
haystack ten rods from the cabin 10 which he
had afterward returned by a circuitOus route,
as shown by the tracks. Outside the window
were found two empty shells and one loaded.
which correspondent exactly with shells Tanto
had secured.
After the shooting Tanto had gone to Holt
station, three miles away, and bought a ticket
to Mason, going south on the $3.50 Michigan
Central passenger tram. He has not yet been
apprehended. Fred Stochal came to Lansing
Friday and has since been staying with friends
here. He was arrested to-day and is detained
on suspicion of being connected with Tanto in
volving the crime. Minnie is in precarious
condition, but may recover. Mr.. Stochal is
not seriously injured.

CLINTON, Jan. 27.-[Special Perhaps the
most enjoyable social event in the history of
odd fellowship in Clinton occurred Friday
night, the occasion being the dedication of the
elegant new |. o. o. F. hall on High-st Visit
ing members from the Newport Dana, Perry
vile and Terre Haute lodges swelled the num-
Der In attendance to 400. Grand Secy B.
F. Foster OF indianapolis was the speaker of
the occasion, and it is needless to say that the
venerable gentleman gave very entertaining
talk on the social benefits of odd fellowship.
Following the address of Mr.. Foster, Atty. j.
A Wiltermood in a laconic speech, presented
the Amant lodge, l. o. O. F., with fine
handicapped ballot-stand-a gift from the
Rebekah degree of the order. The exercises
concluded with a brief recital of the history of
Amant lodge by W. Frank Wells, who, in an
interesting manner, followed the history of the
lodge from its organization in Clinton up to the
present time. 4 banquet was given, under the
auspices of the ladies of the Rebekah lodge, and
to say that it was a complete collection OF the
most palatable viands and bivalves, would be
but mild expression of the fact From the
supper about sixty dollars was realized and the
order has just cause to feel jubilant over the
financial and social success of the affair.
Phenix-like, Amant lodge has risen from the
ashes of the recent conhagration, and its mem
bers now look forward to a bright and prosper
Gus future for the order.
