Two Great Falls Republicans in
Washington to Advise the
Delegation.
Lead Ore Producers Rally in Force
to Keep Up the
Tariff.
The Senate Curtly Declines 70 Accept the
House Substitute Pension Btll-Enor-
NOUS Amounts Involved.

WARRINGTON May 13.-tSpecial. III. r.
Rolfe, OF the Great Falls (Mont.) Leader,
and Will Sands, a banker Of the same town,
are in the city. It is said that they desire
to t,.ke hand in the regulation of Mon
tana affairs, several Offices soon to be filled
in their section of the country being of par
ticular interest to them. They have inter
viewed Sanders and Carter upon the SUBJ
ject and are waiting until Power returns.
The lead men have redoubled their ef-
forts IN lobbying for the schedule as it
stands in the tariff, and all day have been
furnishing Carter and Dubois with facts I
and figures concerning the production Of
the lead mines, ard have been arguing
earnestly with the dozen republicans who
are opposed to the tariff on mixed ores.
Carter says it is quite probable that the
clause will be stricken out of the bill. If
the republican plan Of forcing vote upon
the bill Monday next is adhered to it is
quite possible that lead will never be
reached, as the discussion upon other mat
ters will take up the entire time. In this
case the bill will 20 to a vote without an
opportunity being offered to amend more
than one third of it.
Butterworth's attacks on the copper
schedules in the tariff bill stirred up Repre-
sentative Carter, of Montana. in whose
state SO much copper is mined. He says
that the money made out of copper is by
the telephone and telegraph companies,
who, in conjunction with the mines, are
enabled to get copper wire. Carter may re-
ply to Butterworth in speech he is pre-
pairing.
The Washington delegation will probably
select Representative Wilson as a member
Of the congressional committee. Senator
Allen says that such selection would be
satisfactory to him, and if Squire and Will
son agree it will be settled. It is expected
that Wilson is satisfactory to Squire
and it has been decided by the Washington
delegation that Repr esentative Wilson
name the receiver of the new land Office,
that Senators Allen and Squire will select
one officer each for the new Office at Olym-
pia, neither Of the officers to come from the
city of Olympia. The resignation of Hayden
from sne Seattle land office has brought out
large number of aspirants for the place,
and the senators and representatives are re-
ceiving many letters and telegrams. 1t be-
ing Senator Squire's home it Is very likely
that he will make the selection, and Charles
Ogden is probably booked for the place.
Mr.. Ogden was formerly Washington
newspaper man and was made special
agent OF the general land department some
thing over year ago, with headquarters in

AUSTIN, lex, july Z4.
To The Editor of the Statesman
Knowing that The STATESMAN al
ways takes the pant of law and justice,
and having few minutes to spare, I
thought 1 would address few lines in
the hope that you would publish the
same.
In your issue of July % there is an
account of most brutal murder in
Williamson county not far from the
town OF Hutto. 1 refer to the killing
of the Mexican Vitola Melena, his
wife and 5 year old daughter. Long
years ago 1, in company with others
who have long since crossed the. river
never to return, chased the Cruel
Comanche Indian upon the same
prairies where Hutto is now located,
and upon one occasion that | remem-
Der we'll we came upon the dead
bodies of settler and his wife who
had been murdered by the relentless
foe. we would talk of the terrible
deeds that the savage would do, but
little we thought that over fifty
years would elapse and then sights
worse than those committed by the
savage present themselves, Can such
outrages go unpublished? They should
not. Some people say such outrages
only could occur in Texas, but such is
not the case. Every State in the
Union has had such outrages COM
mitted, but the murderers have al
ways been punished, or great effort
has been made to apprehend them.
Has such been the case in this State?
Has any reward been offered for the
capture and conviction of these blood
thirsty monsters. When we hear OF
such occurrences in Mexico we say,
what cruel and heartless people
those Mexicans are, what will the rel
atives and friends of the dead in this
case say in regard to us. Could any
one expect them to admire the bravery
of the men who were such towards as
to murder an innocent woman and
child? If our State is unable to pun
ish the perpetrators of such outrages
or at least make an effort to do so,
then l for one will say, let the federal
government put its strong arm over
the citizens of the State and its in
huence will be felt Criminals OF all
classes are afraid of Uncle Sans
courts, and the gallows at Fort Smith,
Ark, and Paris, Tex, are evidences Of
how the great crime Of murder is pun
ished. Let Texas go her duty in this
matter and there will be no need OF
Uncle Sans services.
Very respectfully,
AN OLD TEXAN.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-07-31

An unusual settlement of criminal
case was effected June 80 in the superior
court at East Cambridge. l. was the
famous gold brick bunco case which &C.
CURED in Lowell in 1888, by which two
New York swindlers and local accom-
plice euchred Mr.. George f. PenniInan
out of $4,000. The accomplice, named
Chester A. GTinnell, was captured, but
his confederates escaped. Grinnell was
subsequently released on $4,000 bail
which was furnished by Isador J. and
Isaac Klous. When the case was called
in court the defendant failed to put in
an appearance, His EQndsinen were in
dicted by the grand jury in June, and
appeared in court with two certified
checks of so, 900 each, with one of which
they offered to reimburse Mr.. Penniman
and the other they rendered to the court
in settlement of the case against them.
Justice Bishop took the proposition I'M
der consideration and rendered his de-
cision by the following order:
SIN the above action TIE penalty
named in the recognizauca is adjudged
forfeited and judgment entered for $18,.
600, the amount stated III said recog.
nizance. Execution is to be stayed un.
til July 10, 1890, and shall then issue for
said sum, without interest or costs; iro-
vided, however, that an acknowlei.g-
ment for the sum of $4,000, signed by
George z. Penniman for account Of his
claim against Chester A. Grinnell, one
of the defendants, by way Of satisfac-
ton, shall be filed with the clerk of the
court in this cause before said day; exc
cution shall issue for the sum of $4,000
only. Boston Journal.

perhaps in Maryland, West Virginia,
South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar
kansas. l do not believe they will at
tempt to enforce it in Tennessee,
Kentucky, Missouri and Texas, be-
cause the negro is not po-
litical factor in those States.
What course is to be pursued by the
people of the states where it is to be
enforced? This is the all important
inquiry-the bayonet of the people of
the North will not do-our friends are
in the North and those who are to re-
deem us from the tolls of this william
ious law are in the North. We must
put down our feet upon all such i'm
polite and reprehen sible methods.
1t will not do. Let all the friendly
relations rs they now exist continue.
Let us appeal to the fairness and JUS
tice and patriotism of our Northern
fellow citizens to relieve us from the
monstrous wrong that the political
charlitans of the Republican party
are fastening upon us. The rule of
the Harrisons Reeds, Quays and
Dudleys will be brief if we act pru-
IDENTIFY and calmly accept the issue.
Make no opposition to the law, let it
work its course. Resort to no device
to defeat it; do no act of violence to
those who enforce it, but patiently
wait and let the Republican party
gorge itself on this Dead Sea fruit.
If this wise and conservative course
is pursued there will be deep cur
rent of sentiment aroused in the
North against this despicable measure.
The gains in Democratic congressman
in the North will more than compen-
safe what the sparty will lose in the
South by the frauds and corrup-
tions that are to be put in
force by the Quays and Dudleys
and their agents made and abetted by
the power of the United States govern
ment, civil and military, welded in
their behalf by Benjamin Harrison.
The next house will be Democratic,
and it will be the last election held
under this law. There are constitu-
tional objections to this bill that will
doubtless be raised in due time. l be-
+ lieve it unconstitutional.

The vexing and much veXed question,
What is the legal definition of bay
window? seems to be drawing toward
solution. How many windows shall
bay window contain" is the point made.
These windows are all built of frame,
and the difficulty with the inspectors is
to keep builders from overstepping their
legal rights and constructing frame
back buildings under the disguise of
ebay windows" The claim is made
that bay window must be all windows
that is. windows on the front and
sides; others think that window on the
front is all that is necessary. The lat
ter view is taken by the builders OF
houses in rows where the bay windows
of adjoining houses are so close as to
prevent the possibility of privacy.
One builder who is building row OF
houses in the upper section of the
city thinks the law is doing him a
wrong by compelling him to put three
windows in his bay windows, which ad-
join each other in pairs, divided by
brick wall. He is not expt cted to put
window in the brick wall, but in the
framework opposite, adding to the ex-
pense of the house and altering the
shape of the room. The main reason
for compelling builders to construct
windows on all sides Of the bay is pre-
vention against fire. This argument is
answered by the builders, who say that
the frame apartments having the least
number Of windows burn the slowest
When windows become broken the
draught is greatly increased, conse-
quently the danger is aggravated. To
the looseness of tie building laws many
of the complications constantly arising
can be attributed. The ordinance Of
1882 to regulate the erection of oriel or
bay windows throws no light whatever
on the subject. While the ordinance
regulates the construction of front bay
windows. not word is said about those
on the rear of buildings. -Philadelphia

Caught Two Sharks.

A party of gentlemen at Glen Cove
went to Matinecock point Tuesday even
ing and drew seine net, catching at the
first haul q large shovel nose shark,
measuring feet inches from tip to tip,
and weighing about $50 pounds. His
sharkship had to be killed before he could
be landed A second haul was made,
when a smaller shark of the same species
was captured. The large shark was
taken to the village and placed on exhi-
bition near Campbell's hotel, where it
was viewed by hundreds Of people dur
ing Wednesday. TWAS pronounced one
of the largest sharks ever captured in
these waters.-Brooklyn Times

Recovering a Diamond Ring.

Tuesday gentleman, stranger in
these parts, had occasion to cross the
Huntington bridge, and was accompan-
led by friend. When midway of the
bridge he pulled large and valuable
diamond ring from the little finger of his
left hand to exhibit to his friend. In
handing the ring over it slipped from his
hand and fell, and striking the floor
bounded into theriver. The friend stood
where the ring fell till its owner went
and secured the services of several men
to dive in after it. He found two who
upon the offer of handsome pay for their
services consented to attempt the rescue.
They went out in boat and after many
attempts secured the ring, which was in
turn handed over to its owner. He paid
the promised sum and went on his way
rejoicing. Courant.

A Strange Potato Growth.

The West Chester, Pa, Local News
reports that Truman Forsythe, of that
village, few days ago found in his eel
lar potato of last years crop that had
two small ones growing inside of it.
There were no sprouts whatever on the
outside. but the potato was burst open
at each end, and there projecting were
the ends of two well formed and healthy
looking young tubers. The larger one was
about the size of a walnut Potatoes
often form on the outside of old ones in
cellars this time of the year, but that the
growth should take place inside is some
thing of a novelty and only one or two
persons to whom the "curio" was shown
could recall having seen the like before.

The Election Bill.

To the Editor of the Statesman:
At no time in the past history oil
this government has any measure so
revolutionary and so antagonistic to
free representative and constitutional
government been seriously considered.
A similar act was brought forward
during the times of carpet bag rule,
when the Republican hold upon the
South began to weaken, but it failed.
1t failed because james G. Blaine,
who was then speaker of the house OF
representatives, saw in the bill the
overthrow of free government and the
commencement of the right of party
despotism. He saw the overthrow of
the constitution and the peril of civil
liberty involved in the adoption OF
such revolutionary measure
The Harrisons, Quays, Dudleys
and Reeds of that day
were defeated of their infamous pur-
pose. Mr.. Blaine recognized Samuel
j. Randall the true expounder of De-
mocracy, and the only great leader
that the Democratic party has had in
congress since the war, and together
they thiottled the viper. The people
of the South owe debt of gratitude
to James G. Blaine. And now when
this political viper again raises its
head James g. Blaine is one of the
first to denounce the measure.
Mr.. Blaine is prominent Republi.
can, but he is an honorable and patri-
otto man. He is our friend now as he
was when the peril was upon us be-
fore. He was then able to save us,
bat now, though in an
Office of great power and honor, he is
powerless to ward off the blow. But
Mr.. Blaine is cur friend and the people
of the South can not do better than
to consider the councils of Mr.
Blaine.
We may assume as fact that the
election bill substantially as passed by
the house will pass the senate, and
will be in force at the election in No
vember. 1t is intended only for use
| in the South. 1t will be put in force

Bullet Proof Armor.

In the early part of May some plate
firing took place on board the English
man-of-war Nettle, which brings up
subject of the greatest Importance
namely, the possibility of making armor
such as will break up the splendid forged
steel proiectiles which have hitherto
held together almost without exception
The result of the Nettle and other recent
tests goes to show that plates are now
made with faces so hard as to defeat
forged steel, and that it appears possible
that steel faced a11nor in the future may
dispose of them in the manner that
Schneider admits such plates defeat in
different projectiles.-New York Tele-

A FEATURE OF THE FORCE BILL:

~ II
Before passing the Infamous meas
ure designed alone for the South, the
equally infamous supporters of the
bill had better take one fact into con-
sideration-a fact they seem to have
overlooked in their insane zeal to pun
ish the South. The circuit judges are
to carry out the law if it is enacted.
It's trainers acted on the general prin-
ciple that all the circuit judges are
Republicans. This is a mistake, as
they may find later on, There is a
"rebeI Southern Democrat, appointed
by President Cleveland, occupying
one of the most important judicial
districts in the Northern States, and
including Ohio and Michigan. This
"reber" is Judge Howell e. Jackson.
Now, if the bill is signed by Harri-
son we Democrats propose and
intend to see that it is ex-
ecuted to the letter, at least in
Ohio and Michigan. Judge Howell
will appoint, on application of course,
the chief ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
They will in turn appoint a small
army OF sub-supervisors, also Demo-
Gratis, to take charge of the polls, and
if there is any sign of Republican re-
sistance they must call for the bayo-
net at the polls.
The State canvassing board Of
Ohio would be composed of two Demo-
Gratis and one Republican to count the
vote of that State. Count in all
Democrats no matter how the ballots
were cast, their certificates being
good, and to be obeyed by the clerk of
the house, even against that of the
governor of the State. Same pro-
gramme as TO Michigan. The Repub-
licans can't object to Democrats ex-
ecuting the law in Ohio and Mich
igan the same way Republicans will
execute it in South Carolina and
Louisiana. By this means we can
offset the counting Of the Senegam-
bian districts in the South for the Re-
publican ticket by the carpet-baggers
and scalawags. We can at least try
to make the sauce OF the pudding go
as far as it will.
