AN INDICTMENT ORDERED.
A Bslligerent Chicago Capitalist Chal-
Ienges a Little Rock Banker


LITTLE Rock, ARK. Oct 1o-The grand
jury has been instructed by the circuit
judge to bring in an indictment against
Capt. Coffee of Chicago for sending a chal-
lenge TO Horace Allis Of this city TO fight a
duel. Allis is president Of the First National
Bank and part owner Of the Capital City
Street Railway of LATHE Rock, and Coffee
Is Chicago capitalist largely
interested in the Little Rock
Electric Railway Company. An epistolary
war sprang up between the two men over
differences growing out OF street railroad
affairs. At last Coffee felt called upon to
demand a retractioD, and he sent letter by
his friend, A. W. Percy. TO Alks, asking
the latter 10 fix time and place where the
difficulties between them could be finally
ended. Percy was authorized to arrange
the details.
Capt. Coffee formerly lived at Little
Rock. and was in the confederate army,
serving most of the time under Gen R. Z.
Lee. He Is about 30 years old, and gener-
ally mild hammered. When asked if he in
tended his letter as a challenge, he re-
spondeds 81 suppose it might be called
a challenge, but that's rather
brutal way of putting it" He in
sisted, however, that Allis had lived
long enough among southern gentlemen
to know what his letter meant, and that his
action in refusing to answer it and turning
it over TO the officers of the law was proof
that he was deficient in honor as well as
other qualities that 20 to make up a gentle

ture of Mr.. Allis. have no fears and will

difficulty at Perkins Junction, In Burke
county, on Monday. The origin of their
quarrel is not known. Joyner was armed
with knife and Gibson used his hammer,
striking his antagonist in the forehead.

thought for number of hours to be diving,
but his physicians met yesterday and by an
operation relieved the pressure on his brain.
Hopes of his recovery are now entertained.
Mr.. Gibson absconded. thinking, as others
did, that Mr.. Joyner was dead. They we're

Hsizht SHES His Castor in the Ring
Great Opposition TO Livingston

/ H6i2ht SHES His Castor in the Ring
Great Opposition TO Livingston
ATLANTA. GA, Oct. 1O-United States
Commissioner Haight this afternoon fur
nished to the press his promised card an
nouncing his candidacy for congress IN
opposition to Livingston and defining his
views on various political issues. He plants
himself sq3arely on the protective plat
form, insisting that the south is more in
need Of the tariff that any section OF the
country. He favors the abolition of the
internal revenue. or, If 1t Is TO be still col
lected. its equal distribution per capita
among the states for educational pur-
poses. To the sub-treasury plan he
is uncompromisingly opposed. He pro-
nOunces it ciass-legislation of the worst
type, expensive, impractical, undemocratic,
unrepublican and unconstitutional, and
saws it VIII increase taxation, the central
izing and paternalizing tendencies of the
federal government, and the power of tire
party having control of the administration.
He claims, however, to be in sympathy
with the farmers, and, like all candidates,
ready to vote for something Uetter." 1t
new laws are needed to regulate elections,
he thinks they should be enforced alike in
all parts OF the country. and without petit
ton. He favors an increase In
the currency, gives his views on
the national banking system, and
in conclusion asks the support of the best
PEOPLE Of the district. with whose best in
terests he claims to feel in harmony. being
himself southerner. Altogether the adj
dress is a simple, straightforward little
document. and unless one of their own
party is put out in opposition to Livingston
will certainly tempt numerous votes from
the maloontents in the democratic ranks
for the dislike manifested against the al
lance boss amounts to passion here Ru-
NOR has it, however, that the meeting,
which convenes in this city tomorrow,
will indorse w. E. H. Searcy
of Griffin. instead of indorsing
Haight, as the Douglasville meeting did. In
that event Searcy will get rousing vote in
Atlanta and other portions of the district.
Only the lifting of democratic standard is
wanted for the anti-Livingston men to rally
to it with a whoop. Searcy is an alliance
man and was formerly a stockholder in the
Alliance Farmer before the Livingston
Macune company set up shop and began
issuing political edlcrs from the back Office
of that organ.

Far up in the corner of my room is n

dwells therein. He has dwelt there
quito u year now, and although many
surreptitious feminine glances of horror
at the wretched housekeeping of some
people steal up to hat corner my happy
spider is never disturbed. 1 think he al
most loves me now; he comes down
oftea, dropping inch by inch, by a thin
golden thread, and he runs rapidly and
twinlding-legged over my table and pa
pers, pausing for moments at n time to
look mt me with bright, unwinking eyes
and m~otiouless body.
Happy, happy fellow! He has his
health, his spirits, and his home with a
tiny sweetheart locked therein, where
no covetous eyes may find her. What
nor could he ask to make him happy?
But one day-ah, mel-some one else
will come into this room with an alert
eye for cobwebs and a strong hand
to remove them, and then-thcn-when
he is homeless and friendless and hope

Evanston Ecglstcr.I
In two respects mr.. Carey's speech
here Monday night showed that he is a
cheap d~emagogue, ready and willing to
resort to any kind Of misrepresentation
to place his opponent in a false light
The first Of these was SIR. Carsys
great splurge over the assertion that Mr..
Baxter was at the head Of a mnnstrous
and infamous trust seeking TO enhance
the price Of beefaud make living more
expensive for the toiling masses. The
second was that Mr.. Baxter after having
received a military education al West
Point which carried with it a pledge to
serve for eight years. took advantage of
the f!st opportunity to resign.
The facts in the case are these The
Western Union Beef company is not a
trust 10 any sense of the word. It is
merely an organization Of stockmcn il
different sections Of the country who to-
gether " about lj0, 900 head Of cattle
and whose yearly beef product would not
supply the Chicago market for one day,
let alone corner it. The object OF the
company is merely to take advantage OF
the law Of average and decrease the ratio
oflcss by distributing it over a greater
area. Governor Warren was the Wyo
ming manager Of the company until he
was superseded by Governor Baxter
As regards Mr.. Careys statement that
Mr. Bavtcr RESIGNED his commission NJ

ONLYA BRAND NEEDED.

Don't forget that a vote for tho leRis-
lAtive ticket is a vote for j. M. Carey
tor United States senator" reiterates the
Sun in its issue Of yesterday.
This apparently should fill the full
measure of popular expectation il regard
to the legislative ticket. The Sun has
thrown aside any pretense hat the pri-
mary consideration in the election of the
legislators should be the good of the peo-
pie. When it isn't Carey they are howl
ing for it is Warren and in those two
men seem to be represented the sum to-
tai Of everything the people have any
right to ask for. Give Carey any politi-
cal plum he reaches for and show Warren
the same consideration and what more
can the taxpayers ask2 Isn't It a glorious
privilege to be allowed to vote for j. NJ.
Carey and F. L. Warren? Shouldn't
the people be entirely satisfied If they are
permitted to exalt these two Republican
deIties and then stand at a distance and
admire their handiwork? Is it not enough
that the e two men should condescend to
accept the suffraRes from the horny hands
of the w~orkingmen and ranchmen
Of the state2 Why should
the people or their representa-
tives be allowed to call into question any
of the public acts Of these two men?
These, in effect, axe the sort of arguments
hat have been in vogue in Wyoming for
many years past, but this is an off year
when ~bulldozing tactics will not be toll
Grated.
The people are now demanding a rigid
accounting. They will no longer blindly
accept the Republican candidates on
faith. They insist that they shall be
measured by precisely the same standards
as other men are guaged. Their record
in the past will be taken as the criterion
to guage their promises for the future.
The people are not lightly trusting the
destinies of the new state to men who
have proven recreant to the trust In the
past. They want a legislature which is
more concerned about the financial future
Of Wyoming than 1t is about the political
elevation OF ]. NJ. Carey or any other
man.
A vote Tor the Republican Legislative
ticket is a vote for j.. NJ. Carey for United
States senator. says the San. Then the
~hole legislative ticket was cut ard dried,
as The LEADER charged. There were
only two things necessary, How will
you run before the people2" and ''Will
you vote for j. NJ. Carey for United States
SENATOR" No consideration of fitness,
no consideration ofthe delicate Legislative
duties they have 70 perform on behalf of
the people-nothing but a Carey brand
TO mark them and they are turned loose
to demand the SURFACES of the people.
Perhaps this will prove the only recon
mendation required, but we have too
much confidence in the good sense of the
people of Wyoming to believe that it will

Mr.. Young actually said Fix il up

who, with all his readiness as a public de
BATE, could pick no flaw 10 the expires
sion, could distnrt it in no way, and
could put upon the remark no other CON
stIuctioa than that placed upon it bv the

Young was willing TO swear to the abso-
lutte fact devoid Of any legal yerbiage or

WARRENS EFT PIN

The political sensation of Yesterday was
the publication in TnE LEADER of an
article showing that during the time +. Il.
Warren held or controlled the territorial
tressurershIp and acted as governor, he
secured in the way OF contingent salary,
fees and interest, money to the amount
Of siO4. Gi4. 50. This was paying, if not
dearly, at least pretty well for the whistle.
There was one particular part of the arti-
Gle which created widespread comment
and that was the reference to the fact
that the average balance maintained in
the territorial treasury during the over
eight years that it was in Warren's hands
was about SIS, sos. DC" In the treas
urer's report the people were hoodwinked
and congratulated ia the same breath.
The OVERLOOKING treasury was shown to in.
dictate the prosperity OF the territory and
the tax levy was annually made to main
tain the balance at the high water murk.
In other words. in addition to rcaping
enormous profits the people were unneces-

flowing treasury, the benefit of which ac-
crued to the treasurer AID not to the tax
payer.
1t will not do for the Republican press
to meet charges Of this sort with abuse of
those who make them. The Republican
paper at Laramie naturally waits until it
receives instructions from Cheyenne be-
tore it even aIludes to the subject. When
the cue is sent out IRON here the flood
gates of abuse will probably be opened. but
they will avail nothing. \ great deal has
been said about what Warren has lone
for Cheyenne and It is refreshing to have
a few lines about what Wyoming has done
for Warren. When the balance is struck
Warren will be found to be largely the
debtor

ANY one that studies the Republican
tariff bill cannot fail to be impressed by
the steady uniformity with which the
heavier duties are imposed upon the low
est priced articles, says the Chicago H,r-
aid This means, necessarily, that SO
far as prices are to be advanced by limit
ing compelitio n-and this is the primary
purpose Of the tarif-the effect IS felt
most kcenly by the poorer consumers.
Dress goods that COST ten cents a yard are
now taxed IS per cent; those costing
twcniy.six cents a yard are taxed IS per
cent, The former tax is to be advanced
to no per cent, the latter to only % per
cent. AS the foreign price advances the
duty becomes less so that the very high
cost goods will pay about the same rate
Of duty as under the present tariir. there
fore the great increase Of duty will come
from the pocksls Of the poorest women
orthc country to benefit, perhaps, six or
eight American m anuiacturors. Cotton
hosiery is another example. The present
duty is uniformly 80 per cent. Under
the Mckinley bill goods costing sixty.two
cents pay ITO per cent duty; goods cost
ing 81 Il pay only - per cent. These
are examples Of class distinction in the
present Republican policy. No one sup
poses that the Republican leaders have
any prejudice against the poor, as such,
but the men who claim the fayors Of con-
gross demand the privilege of taxing the
poor more heavily than the rich because
there is more money in it, and they get
their demand,
