dogs in England should be muzzled, in
consequence of many outbreaks of rab-

the decrease is still going on What is
more to the point, nine of the IA bid dogs
seized since the order was issued we're

That woman, in spite of the theory
to the contrary, can hold her tongue is
illustrated by the strange case of Mrs.
Merrifield, who died a few days ago at
Americus, Ga. She had not spoken a
word for over thirty years. In 1860 her
husband snappishly told her to stop her
talk, and added that the sound of her
voice was hateful to him. She answered
that he should never hear it again, and
he never did. The woman kept her
word. Neither he nor any one else ever
beard her speak from that moment
She went along in the usual perform
ance OF her duties, but no one ever
dhaar word fall from her lips.

edge that tho ghost.dancers had com.

was brought TO Indian Agent Royet
by VIM. McGaa, formerly an Indian
scout and now a wealthy ranchman
living in the vicinity of Buffalo Gap
McGaa was travelling overland on horse

friendship among the Indians generally,
and Saturday night stayed at one OF the
lodges about midway between this point
and Buffalo Gap. He had placed very
little dependence in the reported scare,
ana therefore felt no fear in
lying down and going to sleep
in . tepee full of bronzed-f faced
Indians Notwithstanding ho noticed
that they were all fully armed. A little
curiosity, however, prompted him to
feign sleep and keep his ears open dur,
ing the early. psSrt Of the night. Tic
result was that he secured information
az startling as 1t was valuable, and that
removes every vestige of doubt as to the
blood thirsty villainy which has taken
possession of tho ghost dancers. After
he had been in bed some little time,
couple hours or moro, one Of the redskins
bent over him to discover whether he
was asleep. To all appearances he was.
Then he heard them get up and begin
whispered consultation. For the first
time in his life McGaa says he al.
most doubted his own ears. The
Indians with whom he had lain down to
sleep with feeling of utmost secur.
ity we're deliberately plotting to
lead General Brooke and his soldiers
into an ambush and shoot them. Their
plan, as McGaa heard from their own
lips, is to continue the ghost dance un.
hl the troops try to stop it. The place
selected to carry out their murderous de.
sign is place sixteen miles and half
north OF here, and more advantageous
locality for such devilish deed proba'
bly, does not exist any where else on the
face of the entire continent. General
Brooke has ordered large body OF

The Prosec iting Witness and Another

The town of Rivas, in Nicaragua, was
the scene of terrible tragedy almost
unparalleled in criminal history.
Tomas Martinez was arraigned for

charges were read and the accused called
upon to plead, he stepped four
PAGES to the front and, putting
his hand into his inner
breast pocket, exclaimed: "Gcntlc.

to the floor, being shot through tho

rio Rojas, an old gentleman, father-in-
law of the first victim, bravely closed
with the prisoner, who did not hesitate
to draw the trigger, and the ball passed
through Senior Rojas' mouth, coming
out on the back of his neck. Senor Ro-
jas is in precarious condition, but tho
physician attending him says he will
probably recover After shooting Senior
Rojas, the prisoner made a dash for
liberty and escaped to the country, but

The Mckinley bill has drawn its first
blood from labor A Buffalo, N. Y,
manufacturer who uses q certain
English stuff in his business, has re-
Gently been compelled to pay nine cents
q yard more for it than formerly, owing
to the higher duties under the McKin-
ley bill.
The New York merchant from whom
ne buys the cloth expressed surprise
at the promptness with which the Buff
falo manufacturer agreed to the higher
price.
To this the Buffalo man replied as
follows: You were somewhat surprised
that we could afford to pay the addi-
tional nine cents yard for cloth, but
prepared our work people for it, and
to-day, by making q cut equal
to 10 per cent. in their wages all around,
have covered the amount and turned
them all into good, sound Democrats.
That take it, is as good as a Yankee
could do"
The stuff referred to is sold by the
| English manufacturer at 80 cents yard
The present duty is ITO per cent ad
valorem, bringing the cost up-te- -6S
cents yard, and agents commissions,
etc, to GS cents. The Mckinley bill
makes the duty 40 per cent or AZ cents
yard instead of 3S cents. The manu-.
facturer at Buffalo meets the additional
cost by reducing the wages of his labor
And this is the result of McKinley's
american bill' with protection to
American labor!

"FRIENDlY BARTER"

An Interesting Object Lesson in Foreign
Trade-Large Imports Mean Large Ex-
ports Our Markets Beyond the Sea, and
How Mckinleyism Endangers Them.
The change from the old tariff to the
new developed at the port of New York
an interesting object lesson as illustrat-
ing the nature of trade between foreign
countries During the last week of the
old tariff there was an extraordinary
rush OF goods into New York from
Europe. This, of course, brought an un-
usual number of ships to that port The
reports show that more ships were
entered there during the last week of
the old tariff than in any previous
weeks,
The next week there was an unusual
expectation of our products to European
and other foreign ports The cause Of
this large expectation was given by q
custom house official of the New York
Commercial Bulletin. The following is
the expectation as published in the
Bulletin:
At the custom house inquiry was made in
several depai tmcnis as to the cause of the
large Increase, but no reason could be us
crIbed except TIL the rush OF imports to
this country Incident TO the operation of tho
| new tariff had lrought hither large number
| of vessels, AMI tho competition for return
| cargoes had boon SO great that freight rates
| had been reduced to minimum, thus OF.
| fcrlng to exporters special Inducements to
send our domestic produce earlier than they
| otherwise would have done.
This incident furnishes useful lessons
in foreign trade. 1t shows that such
trade is what Blaine calls friendly
barter" that we trade products for prod
ucts Those ships which came in such
large numbers to New York in order &c
bring in goods before the Mckinley
duties went into effect, did not demand
money in payment for those goods. We
are continually told by the projections
lists that large importation Is dangerous
and to be avoided like smallpox, fol
the reason that when we buy much from
abroad our money flows out Of thu
country" II
