wARLIKE KNIGHTS, INDEED.
The Contest Among the Knights
of Aurora Has But inst Reoun.

OF Aurora Has But just Begun.
The fight in which the order of
Knights of Aurora figures moves right
along without let or hindrance. Now
comes new phase of the squabble.
Rev. l.. e. Powers and his adherents
have countered upon DR.. Rogers and
his son. If the reverend gentleman
and those who are standing by him have
their way and can prove all that they
allege. the doctor will figure as defend
ant in the court instead of the reverend.
DIR. e. s. Talbert, George p. WOolett,
j. +. SchoOiey and others are the COM
plainantS, they representing Mr.. Powers.
In the name of these men charges have
been preferred against DR.. Rogers and
son before County Attorney Jamison,
who promises that the matter will re-
ceive his official attention Friday. The
technical charge is Justification of re-
turns, the penalty for which is fine of
$500. 1t was represented to Mr.. JAM
lSOn, upon the OathS of several record
ers of the Knights of Aurora, that the
four Minneapolis temples, Nos. 542, 527,
$50 and 533, had only d total member

port of 525. The recorders who Swore
to this state of affairs were j. j. WaSku-
witch, the recorder Of Temple No. $50;
J. Frank Schooley, recorder of Temple
No. 527; E. William Clark, recolder of
Temple 542, and Arthur FL. SWEET, of

as against Dr.. Rogers 81. DR.. Rogers
says, in reply to these charges, that the
local recorders kept their records in
such loose and careless way that no
accurate data to go by could be OBJ
tanned. Owing to this state of affairs,
he had been unable to tell what the
membership was from time to another.
He treats the matter lightly.

WHAT 1T SHOWS.

The governor of South Dakota finds
his chances for a second term greatly
reduced by the exploits of which he was
an instigator the past year in the way
of soliciting relief abroad for alleged
sufferers. 1t was insisted that the local
agencies were quite able to obviate suf-
fering by unfortunate individuals with
out allowing the state to have the gen.
eral coloring it would naturally receive
at distance by the appearance of these
relief seekers. Whatever the necessi-
ties involved, there seems no doubt that
good deal of emigration was diverted
by the representations of the governor.
The subject is brought to mind notably
by an account of the splendid exhibit
the state is making at the corn palace
in Sioux City of its productions. Visit
orS express great surprise at the evil
dences of fertility in the luxuriance of
the growth of vegetables, corn, and all
the cereals, grasses and root crops, and
especially at the variety. Neither Iowa
OF Illinois could surpaSS it, and an ex-
hibit in Minnesota would afford no strik-
ing contrast. South Dakota has pro-
uuCou HilC Val itblcS VI ulOSt vi tn0 SIlldlt
fruits, but this exhibit has such an as
sOrtment of apples, grapes, cherries,
plumS and other standard fruits as to
suggest the orchards of the older and
most favored states. There is no short
age in development or flavor. This is
more noticeable from the fact that the
year has been one generally untavora-
bic to fruits, and most productions have
i'll few sections done their best. The
display is particularly opportune for
the reputation of the state as home
for those, who live in the midst of COM
fort and thrift. An easy inference
would be that the people would do a
wise thing to give this governor release
from official duties at the END of his
term, and enable him to inform himself
moIe fully and justly of the resources
and condition of his really attractive
and prosperous state.

HELD UP THE MESSENGER.
Masked Men Rob an Express
Train in Ohio.


CINCINNATI, Oct. 2.-The law-abidlng
and peaceable citizens of one of the
most populous and enlightened portions
of Ohio will be astonished to know that
this morning a daring and successful
express robbery was committed in their
midst, such as would not be regarded
unusual or unlikely in the wilds of
Texas. Between aud 4 o'clock this
morning, just after the north-bound
train Oh the Cincinnati, Sandusky IL
Cleveland road had left Urbana, two
masked robbers entered the Adams tx
press car and with drawn revOlverS
compelled Messenger A. l.. Scudder to
deliver the contents of his safe. The
robbers were able to complete their
work and to safely leave the train with
their booty at Bellfontaine. The partic-
ulars of their method are not divulged
In the brief story received here by the
Adams express officials, nor is it posi-
BILE for some time to tell how much
money was in the safe. The impress
sion here is that the amount was COM
paratiyely small, but it would be posi-
bic for a considerable sum of bank
funds to have been in the booty. The
portion of the country where the rob-
berry occurred is as unlikely to suggest
OuClI VI 40 COulQ NC iOu1Ius IL lS q
rich agricultural region. peopled by in
telligent people with high regard for
uprightness. The robbers evidently
are not natives. Messenger Scudder
was bound in his chair with wash line
the robbers brought with them. One of
them. whom the other called "Jack,"
tried to kill Scudder before leaving the
car. Placing his revolver at his
head, he pulled the trigger, but
the cartridge failed to explode. The
other robber then prevented him from
trying again. When the train pulled
out of West Liberty the two scoundrels
again got aboard. holding the entire
crew at bay. Scudder, who had been
released, opened fire on them with a
pistol from his car door, but was COM
PEELED to retreat. The robbers kept on
board until Bellefotaine was reached,
when they again jumped Off and disap-
peared. The officers at Bellefontaine
are searching for them. Scudder is
about fifty years old, lives in Cincinnati,
and has been on this run since the
Adams company took charge of the ex-
press business on it, about three years
ago. He was previously in the same
company's employ on the Ohio river
lines. He had just received his months
salary, and that was among the booty.

hole in his shirt and some blood stains
on it. While the struggle was going on
in the Jail shot was fired, but it was
probably accidental. Harrington has
been known in this neighborhood prob
ably three years as pettIfogging law
yer. whose principal business was the
promotion of land contests, and thereby
obtaining money from the trouble he
caused among the settlers. The occa-
sion of his being in jail was charge of
perjury preferred against him by set
tier whom he had engaged in contest.
He had been arrested at Paso the pre-
ceding day, and was lodged in a cell
only few minutes before the arrival
of the vigilantes. Some uneasiness was
felt as to his fate until a dispatch was
received last evening stating that he is
IN Tulare City. 1t is probable that after
ne was set at liberty he went to his home
at PaSo.

from that day to this, and that in the
aggregate the tax has been probably in
creased.
In 1867 the first attempt was made to
reduce the tariff to peace basis, but
owing to the opposition of tine monopo-
lists the bill failed. The taxes were
kept up at the war rate.
In 1870 another assault was made in
congress on the war taxes. with the only
result that a few revenue duties were
stricken off to strengthen the protective
duties.
In 1872 the lower house of congress
succeeded in doing something toward
lowering the taxes, but the effort was
blocked by the senate by 10 per cent
horizontal reduction measure in the in
terest of the monopolies. The mo-
nOpoly agents in the senate held that
the 10 per cent reduction proposed by
them would do something to reconcile
the people, and yet not injure the pro-
tected interests.
In 1875 the monopolies again had full
sway in both branches of congress, and
this 10 per cent reduction was repealed
and the old war tax restored.
In 1882 tariff commission, composed
entirely Of protectionists, reported in
favor of revision" but the revision
proposed had an upward tendency in
stead of the downward one that the
people demanded.
In 1888, under pretense of carrying
into effect the report of the tariff COM
mission, the monopoly agents in the
house of congress succeeded in lacking
on a new tariff schedule to the house
bill reducing the internal revenue
taxes, and by a trick pushed
the bogus measure through, thus
largely increasing the protective taxes"
There was a conference between the
two houses similar to the one held on
the MCKINLEY bill. The result of that
conference was to agree to a series of
compromises which in each case raised
the tariff duty higher than it had orig
lnally been proposed. As an illustra-
ton, the house had fixed the tax upon
steel rails at SIS, and the senate at
s15.6S. The conference committee COM
promised by raising it to SIT. Both
houses had agreed to tax of SO cents on
iron ore, but the conference "compro-
missed" it up to IS cents. So the tax on
bar iron was compromises from Sae
UP to 500.
The outrageous compromise" tariff
of 1888 stood for seven years, notwith-
standing the valiant efforts made by
MORRISON, MILLS and CLEVELAND to
loosen its grip on the languishing COM
mercial and agricultural Industries of
this country. 1t averaged about AZ per
cent upon most of the necessaries, and
that seems high enough to have salts
fled the greed of the favored classes.
But it didn't. The MCKINLEY bill has
to be put into operation to revise the
tariff up from Al to GO per cent average
on the neceSsaries of life.
This sort of oppreSsi g revision is
the settled policy of the Republican
party. We are at peace with all the
world, and have been for twenty five
years. Yet the war taxes are con-
stantly increasing.
Where is the oppression to end? How
long is it to be endured?
The voters, and only the voters, can
give satisfactory answer.

REFUSED TO BE RESCUED.
Female Converts to Mormonism
Scorn Good Advice.

Scorn Good Advice.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The authorities
at the Barge Office this morning used an
immense amount of persuasion on the
thirty-two young Mormons that arrived
yesterday OH the steamer Wyoming to
induce them to forego their intention of
becoming proselytes TO the Mormon
faith. The girls were separated from
the other passengers as they landed
and placed in room by themselves.
Theree female missionaries from the
Immigrant girls home went among
them and tried to conyin nee them of the
folly of the course they proposed to fol-
low. 1t is a very hard undertaking.
One of the girls, Karen SylvesterSen
by name, who acted as SpokeS woman
for the party, frankly acknowl-
lodged that they were all willing to be
one of seven or eight wives, and were
fully aware of the principles of Nor
monism. The girls are all young and
some of them remarkably pretty. The
attempt of the missionaries to influence
them proved an utter failure, and as all
that the barge Office authorities can do
is to use persuasion, the entire party
will proceed on their journey to-mor-
row by the Old Dominion line, via New
port News, Va. The party comprises,
all told, 202 souls, of whom thirty-two
are children. Among the lot is a mar
ried EngliShwOman, who left her hus
band i'll England to take up the Mormon
faith. She said she was called and
compelled to go. She refused to tell
her name.

THE TwINEs1AKERs, SERVANT

The MOorhead News, which is Con-
gresham CoMsTocK's home organ. sails
into Senator DAVIS in fine style for his
advocacy Of free binding Irvine, and
abuses the milk and cider Republican
newspapers that applauded his course.
Mr.. CoMsTOCK, through his organ, says
"Ehe advocacy of free binding Irvine,
on the ground that it will result in
cheapening that commodity. which is SO
extensively used in the Northwest, and
will, therefore, be of material benefit to
the farmers, can only be done by sur
rendering the entire principle of pro-
lection, and admitting the arguments of
Democrats and free Traders
That is frank enough for all practical
purposes. 1t is a confession that the
aim of the Republican party is to uphold
the principle of protection at the ex-
pense of every Industrial interest of the
Northwest. But here is another clip
ping from the same source, which drives
the protection nail home:
eff it is a good thing to have free
binding Irvine, it will be good thing to
have free clothing, free hardware, aud a
long list of manufactured articles that
are extensively used in the Northwest {"
And it is upon this theory that Mr..
CoMsToCK's home organ reasons out
that the binding Irvine tax must be
maintained, because if the protection
bars are let down in one place they will
have to be let down in others. 1t is
necessary to keep the tax on binding
Irvine, according to Mr.. CoMsTocK's
logic, in order that the tax shall be
kept on clothing and hardware and a
long list of other articles extensively
used in the Northwest.
''By their own words shall they be
convicted" MI. CoMsToCK's defense
of his vote in favor of the MCKINLEY
bill, with the binding Irvine tax IN
cluded, is an admission that he was
ready and willing to sacrifice every
Northwestern interest in order to pre-
serve the principle of protection. 1t
would be a very queer thing if the farm
ers of the Fifth district, who are suffer
ing from tax oppression, should be con
vinced of Mr.. CoMsTocK's logic.
Mr.. CoMsToCK is better representa-
the Fifth district farmers. The farm
ers of the Fifth district want cheaper
binding Irvine, cheaper clothing, and
cheaper hardware. The Eastern manu-
factyrers want the prices kept up. That
is the issue between the farmers and
the trusts.
And yet Mr.. COMSToCK votes wit h
the trusts and against his own constitu-
ency, and the only explanation he has
to make is that he wants to preserve
the principle of protection.
Hereafter, when Mr.. CoMsTocK wants
to go back to congress. let him look to
the trusts whom he serves so we'll to
supply him with the votes. And as for
the farmers of the Fifth district who
want cheap Irvine, cheap clothing. and
cheap hardware, let them elect a repre-
sentative who is in sympathy with
them, and who will defend their inter-
ests in the halls of congress.
