A Female Bull Fighter,

The heroine of the hour just now in
Lisbon is Il German girl, Fraulein
Johanna Maestrick, Fraplein Maestrick
was born near Berlin, but went with her
parents as a child to Portugal. When
she was II IN impresario, struck with
her size and beauty, offered to train her
as a female bull fighter. The agent
sent his pupil, who is not yet go, to
compete at the show of female beauty
which took place at Lisbon, where she
carried off the first prize. The adver-
tisement proved an excellent one, for ever
since the impresario has been bombarded
with letters from persons of all classes,
wishing to know when the beautiful
"torera" is to make her debut.
She has not yet appeared in an arena,
but last week she came out In q trial
fight at Oporto. A huge crowd collected
to see the unusual sight, The young
lady quickly laid two bulls in the sand,
and rode off followed by u band of music,
amid thunders of applause. Crowds OF
people collected before the windows Of
the hotel at which the ''torera'' was
staying, and far into the night she wal
obliged to appear On the balcony in
response to their calls for her.-Londo1

A. w. X. says, in the Leader, the re-
port of the republican meeting is untrue
and that there are no dlssensions among
the colored voters. In another place j.
&. jackson is quoted as saying at the
same meeting: "We must say that
Henry Courtney, ia colored voter, is one
OF the 'Nothings.' A man who will vote
the democratic ticket while claiming to
be Il republican is n mere m~ugwump.'
The report is absolutely true with the
M exception, that the names Of some OF
the speakers were misspelled. 1t is a
good sign to see men begin to think for
themselves as Mr.. Courtney does.

THE Leader yesterday devoted Il half
column to a s~ensless TRADE against r. G..
Dun's report of the commercial condition
of the country, and pretends that the
Mckinley bill is the greatest blessing
ever conferred on man.-Read this ex-
tract froln the..Butte Miner: tom Reed
is a fraud and Mckinley is a fraud, and
the Mckinley bill is the greatest outrage
ever perpetrated on the people of the
United States. l have voted The republi-
can ticket VII my life, but tell you the
man who made up the new tariff blii and
the men who have voted for it are frauds,
and / don't care who knows that l say it,"
Rather emphatic, these words are.
They might be considered exaggerated if
they came from a democrat, but they
didn't. The man who uttered them yester-
day, during an interview with a Herald
man, was not only lot a democrat, nor
ever a mugwump, but an out-and-out re-
publican. He wasn't a little man, either,
whose opinions are not worth consider
ing. On the contrary, he was one Of the
very best known merchants of Boston,
none other than Mr.. Joseph A. Brown, of
the wholesale importing house of Brown,
Darrell Il Co. If the Eeader will take
the trouble to Interview the clothing and
dry goods dealers of Great F.ls it will
q arm something of interest to every Der-
son IN town. The dealers are now SELL
ing at retail for the ans Wholesale prices
that they must pay when their present
stocks are exhausted, and the only reason
for not raising prices now Is that the
houses are keeping them down as
an advertisement. On some articles the
price has been raised so per cent within
ten days. On clothing, cotton hosiery,
| plush cloaks and ladies dress goods it
would be a simple matter of business to
raise the prices to correspond with the
increased duty as scheduled in the Nc
Klnley bill. Marshall Field d Co., one
of the largest wholesale and retail houses
of Chicago, have announced a raise of rs
per cent on all cotton hosiery and some
other articles. The prices on many arti-
Giles of apparel worn by the middle and
poorer classes will be advanced from 20
to 40 per cent before January first, and
for this outrage the republican party
must answer.

MOLINE, ILL.,, Oct. s.--The marriage of
Miss Anna Deere, daughter of Charles
Deere, the head of Deere Il Co., one of
the largest manufacturing houses in the
west, and granddaughter of John Deere,
the pioneer pillow manufacturer Of the
west, to William Dwight Wiman, son of
Erastus Wiman, of 81. George, Staten
Island, the well known millionaire. MIR.
Deere's bridal gift to his daughter will
be gilt edged securities to the value of
$1,0O0,O0O.
How many more millions Mr.. Deere
has is not stated, but this immense for
tune was made on highly protected bind
ers and plows. How many thousands of
farmer have contributed to this $1,000
900? Where is the justice in taxing every
farmer in the United States to help Mr..
Deere buy this wedding present? This is
one effect of the high tariff.

EVERY man or woman who now goes
to the dry goods store, the hardware store
or the clothing store to purchase the or
binary necessaries of life will have cause
to regret the passage of the Mckinley
bill and the supremacy of the republican
party in congress. There is an advance
OF from 10 to 25 per cent in many lines Of
goods and the consumer must foot the
bill. The increase in price goes to the
manufacturer and non other, and as a
consequence they will be able to yield up
more 'fat" to Quay and Clarkson's com
mlttees.

ONE Of the men who occupy stolen
seats in the United States senate, misrepre-
senting Montana, and who broke into that
body by the aid of Jack, Hall, Blake and
other conspirators, will deliver a har-
angue to the people of Great Falls this
evening. His name is Sanders, and
while the people of Montana have four
or five times refused to send himto Wash
ington, he at last succeeded in getting
there, a good deal after the fashion of
the burglar, who goes through a residence
or bank. People in Washington point
out Sanders and Little Tommy Power as
the fraudulent senators from Montana.

WE record in our tele. raphic columns
today the sudden death Of Gen. W. W.
Belknap, who was at the head of the war
department during President Grants ad-
ministration and under whom, as is we'll
known, n of the most corrupt rings
ever known in this country existed. The
dealing in post-traderships under Bel
KNAPP extended even into the territory of
Montana and Orville Grant was here in
person to see that the rule of addition,
division and silence'' was strictly car
ried out. Fort Belknap was named after
the deceased.

FARMERS AND M'EINLEI.

This country hts no more deserving
class than the farmers. They rise early
and toll ate. In many instances they
lead lives of self-denial only to advance
the interests of the wealthy manufact-
urer. For them there is no protection
worth speaking of. They are to be
content with the home market, and with
this feeble sophistry they have allowed
themselves to be gulled from year to
year. Facts are all against this specious
home market argument. In 1860 we sold
80 per cent of our farm products at home:
in 1870, 50 per cent, and in 1880 only 10
per cent. How is that for II home mar
ket, with an increasing tariff all the
time? In 1860 we We're compelled to
send only 10 per cent abroad; in
1870, 20 per cent, and in 1880, 30 per
cent. We already make more goods
than our people will use at present
prices, while we yearly export increas
ing quantities of our grains and meats.
One machine operative will manufacture
for five, but he can eat only for himself,
In 1860, under n revenue tariff, we en-
ported 1895, 100000, and in 1870, after IL
years of protective tariff, there was only
$491 100000, and in 1880, our export,
amounted to $3.50, 0 100000. The ratio OF
home consumption, therefore, did not in.
crease. 1t actually became less, and q
larger percentage of our agriculture
products sought a foreign market. In
stead, then, of u farmers securing Il
home market, they are every year be
coming more dependent on London and
Liverpool. The eastern market nevel
has paid and never will pay the Ameri
can farmer more for his grain than he
gets in Liverpool.
The very manufacturer whom the
farmer is taxed to protect against Euro
pean labor is selling farm implements
from one-half to one-third cheaper to the
foreigner than to the home farmer. Oi
the Advance pillow, the home price is $IS
the foreign price is SO. A hay teddel
costs the American $45, his competitor
$50. For a mower our farmers pay dowr
$50, the outsider is given it for $50. The
horse rake that represents an outlay ir
this country of $25, can be had elsewhere
for SIT. The Cumming feed-cutter il
cheap to an American at 500, the riva
grudges $50. Two dollars anu half rep

wheel hoe c~ultivator rake and pillow. Tht
list might be greatly extended, but the
proof is sufficient.

ROLFE'S

Thus far the Leader has only replied to
the attacks of the TRIBUNE. We have
been patient almost beyond endurance,
but we do not belong to that class of re-
publicans who are owned by the First
National bank and Townsite company
and we will not be bullied or inundated.
A republican wishes us to "pitch into"
the mugwump followers of Paris Gibson
who claim to be republicans; who have
held Office as republicans and yet are
secretly working for Paris Gibson and for
a democratic United States senator. We
will not do this until WI have proof. II
there is IL republican so low, so mean, so
destitute of all principle as to adopt a
course like this he may never expect
anything from the republican party here,
after.-Leader

$50 MILES AN HOUR.

Wr. William ID. Marks, who is super
vising engineer of the Edison Electric
Light company in Philadelphia, asserts
that within ten years a train will make
the run from Philadelphia to New York
at the rate of $50 miles an hour, cover
ing the entire distance in 36 minutes. lie
says he can construct a motor that Will
do it, and that such a motor will certain
ly be constructed.
This prophet Of electrical develop
ment says that the road would have to be
of a different style from our present
roads; that 1t would have to be either
straight as the bee flies, or with curves
so slight as not to be Il source of danger;'
it would have to be very substantially
built and entirely free from grades or
crossings; the bridges would be made of
stone; the rails of much greater weight
then those now III use and the ties of
some non-conducting material. Here is
the outline of this novel railroad:
Between Philadelphia and New York
there would be four electric stations, with
enormous dynamos driven by two com
pound co%ndensing engines of 5000 horse
power each. From these stations a tire
inendous amount Of electricity would be
poured into the rails. The trains that
would run over this railroad would be
drawn by 100000 pound motors. This
great weight would be chiefly necessary
to hold the motors to the track. One
man could run a motor instead of the
two now required for u locomotive. The
cars would probably be round and en-
tirely enclosed, and would receive their
supply of air from yentilators much like
those in use on steamships. A train run
ming at the rate Of 100 miles an hour
would, of course, be like Il tornado that
would sweep up everything near its
course. This would make it necessary
to protect passengers at way stations by
having tall shields of solid iron between
the tracks and the platforms, to proven,
them from being sucked in by passing
trains. All buildings near the track
would have to be removed to some dis.
lance for the same reason, Under these
conditions, which could be readily &C
complished by money, there is no reason
why trains should not run from here tC
New York in SO minutes, and carry
heavier loads than now.

INTERESTING TO MINERS.

One of our clothing dealers received
yesterday the following from a wholesale
shoe store of Minneapolis;
MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 10, 1890.
Dear Sir: Yours at hand ordering the
mems Eclipse mining shoes, without
nails and We have put your order in the
factory. Will have them rushed through
for you. But owing to the advance in
leather IN account of the Mckinley tariff
law we ale compelled to advance the
price 20 per cent. Yours, etc.
This will be interesting news for the
miners, who must pay 20 per cent more
for the shoes made especially for their
wear. But of course what is true IN the
case of the miner is true of all others who
wear boots and shoes. The poor men of
country must contribute from Is to
20 per cent to the manufacturer on every
dollar invested in boots and shoes. Great
Is the Mckinley bill.

Mr., John Keown, the worthy post
master at Keown, Allegheny county,
Penn, says: "Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy sells better than any other"
The reason OF this is because it can al
ways be depended upon. Let any one
troubled with a severe cold give it a trial
and they will find that the first dose will
relieve the lungs and make breathing
easier, aud that its continued use will
free the system of all symptoms of the
cold. The prolnptness and certainty of
this remedy in the relief aud cure of
colds, has won for it many sincere friends
and made it very popular. For sale by

The farmer, under the Mckinley bill,
must pay a higher price for nearly every
thing that he buys,'but the price of the
products of his farm is regulated in the
wide markets of the world. This is the
bill that the Leader has the immaculate
gall to commend to the farmer.

Immigration Matters.

The fact has developed regarding the
recent immigration meeting here that
the telegraph invited delegates did
not know until after their arrival here
for what purpose they we're summoned
The kilograms simply invited them tc
come as guests of the board of trade, and
it was only after their arrival in this city
that they were informed of the immigra-
tidu headquarters scheme. 1t was a
pretty "slick' piece of business, but
does not seem likely to be fruitful of the
results hoped for. Since that meeting
the Dallas board has done nothing fur
Their in this matter, except to call a con-
vention of representatives of towns and
counties along the Texas and Pacific west
of Fort Worth to meet in Dallas on the
18th inst, 10 per feet arrangements for
establishing the proposed headquarters
here. Whether or not the call will re-
suit in bringing together sufficient
number of delegates to insure the success
OF the undertaking, can better be told
after the convention meets.

New Opera house.

Some weeks ago it was announced that
extensive Improvements, including an
enlargement of the building and audito-
rum, would be made in the Dallas opera
house. Such, it is understood, was the
intention at the time, but the idea has
been abandoned, and the building will
be left as it is. There has been some
talk, in quiet way, of the building of q
new opera house here. 1t is believed
that the time has come for the erection
of another house, inasmuch as there are
few, if any, cities of the population of
Dallas dependent upon one legitimate
place of amusement. A SECOND house
would doubtless not only pay, but would
be certain to secure all first-class attrac-
tons coming to Texas.
