THE BENDERS
Not the Benders, as Was Pre-
dicted by the BazO0 in the
First Place.

1t is altogether probable that the
two women alleged to be Mrs. John
and Kate Bender, who are now con.
fined in the Lsbette county, Kansas.
Jail awaiting trial for the murder o,
DR.. York, will be liberated in a few
days. The story of their capture last

Since that time he has been quietly
at work collecting proof which will
establish the fact that the women are

1874 these two women were in Michi.
gan. The crimes with which the
Blenders are charged were all commit.
ted during these years.
On being acquainted of this fact the
prosecuting attorney of Labeite
county, Mr.. Morrison. wrote to Mr..
James, telling him that if he cou.d
prove these facts by afidsyits he
would discharge the prisoners. Mr..
James will go to Oswego next week
With his affidavits.
In this connection it should be
stated that Mr.. Morrison, the prose
cutting attorney of Labette county,
has never had any confidence in Mrs.
McCann, who caused the two women
to be arrested, and has never believed
them to be the Blenders. At the pre-
llminary trial twenty eight witnesses
were examined, fourteen of whom
testified positively that they were iu-
timately acquainted with Mrs. John
and Kate Bender and that the parties |,
under arrest were net the Blenders.
Of the others examined, three TESTIFIED |
point blank that the two women were
Mrs. John and Kate Bender. OF the
remaining witnesses some testified
hat one of the women was Mrs. John
Bender, but the other was not Kate
Bender, while others identified Mrs.
Davis as Kate, but did not think The
Did woman was Mrs. John Bender.

The Tariff Discussion Begun.

On Monday the House of Representatives
began the consideration of the Mckinley tar.
i'll BILL
An amendment offered by Mr.. Brecken-
ridge providing for free raw materials for
manufacturers who export their product was
voted down, by Iii to SO. Another amend
ment was offered by Mr.. Anderson (Republi-
CAM of Kensas. 1t provided that when any
article is controlled by any trust or combina-
ton the President may suspend the collection
of duties on such article. Ali of of the Dem
ocrats voted for this amendment but only
Mr.. Anderson and another Republican voted
with them. The amendment was carried by
vote of 81 to 76. The Republican protect
ionists were evidently afraid to trust Presi-
dent Harrison with any discretionary power
to tighten the burdens ofthe people or check
monopolies and trusts.
Mr.. Bland wanted foreign goods exchang-
ed for farmers products admitted free of duty,
but the Republican majority would not
adopt the amendment.
are turning to the Senate, and as gag law
does not yet prevail there, it is probable that
much time will be consumed in discussion
before an agreement ir reached. Some of
the Senators, it is said, think the bill should
not be passed, being under the impression
that the tariff issue, if left undecided will aid
the Republicans in coming elections. In
this they may be mistaken.
Representative Ben Butterworth, Republi.
can, of Ohio, must have made his fellow Re-
publicans vince, on Tuesday, when he point.
ed out some of the glazing inconsistencies
and wrongs which the Mckinley tariff would
intiict, If it became law. He proclaimed
himself protectionist. but he wanted to
know why the profits of certain classes are to
be increased. He told of protected indus
try which had paid $60,0OO,OO0 on capital
of 81 $4,000. He could name manufactur-
ers whose profits had exceeded those of all
the farmers in any State of the Union. He
said that this bill proposed to shut the farm
ers out of the markets of Canada, where they
sold $217. 100000 worth of products, that the
$l7OOO,OOO they spent in Canada might be
reserved to them. He said it was proposed
by this bill to tax every family in the country
to raise $5O,0O0,0O0 to build up the tin-plate
industry, which, if it could be built up at all,
would want no more protection than it has
now. Mr.. Burrows, he said, had excused the
tax because it amounted to but a fraction of
a cent on small bit of tin. Would the gen.
tleman tolerate feas because they were
small He favored proper protection, but
these men held the world in their grip.

MENIENTO TO


Mrs. ELLEN LILLY, who died May I'd, 1890.
Her busy hands are folded,
Her work on earth Is done;
Her useful life is ended
The heavenly crown is won.
Her sad and lonely household
Will miss her loving hand,
And st. Francis choir
Without her aid must stand.
And now the violet opened,
And the trees in beauty wave;
How sad for us to hnger
Near dear Ellen's grave.
And whilst the birds are singing,
And flowers deck the sod,
We trust she is resting
In the paradise of God.
And since thou could no longer stay
To cheer US with thy love;
hope we all shall meet
In that bright home above.
HER FRIEND, 8. T. WELSH.
