A remarkable reunion was held in
Kansas City Tuesday. The reunion
was made up of four survivors of the
celebrated shorty miners" whose dread,
full sufferings have.been told over and
over again and which never grows
stale. How they crossed the waste of
mountain and plain which then ex,
listed between Salt Lake and the
Pacific coast; how they suffered. No

pen can trace it. Thirty-seven PEG.

her two young children started
to reach California from
Salt Lake BY It, the ,, u most oft , ,.., di;
to turn back they found vast noun
tains to scale and sandy deserts to
cross. For fifty-two days they had
nothing whatever to eat except their
cattle, which were eaten even to the
hides for days they had no water !;
ragged, footsore, weary, they plodded
on. Their wagons and three dead
were left behind /; some went insane
and some persisted afrer reaching
water and food, so reduced were they.
The story is an awful one and its
horrors will never all be known. ALI
through it, the little woman, Drawer
than all the men, cheered them on,
encouraged then, never lost hope for
an instant and at last when they
reached the land of plenty, hers was
the first voice to lift up rejoicings.
HerOines in song and story have
shone conspicuous, but surely this one
brave woman deserves a place in his
tory. By contrast with the sufferings
Of that dreadful journey, the traveller
Of to-day has exchanged paradise for
purgatory, and surely the survivors

must have felt the gain of forty years
n a manner which was as impressive
Is it was strange and curious. |

AN ELECTRIC FENCE.
How One Recently Put Up In New Mexic<
Did Its Work.

Heu One Recently Put Up In New Mexico
Did Its Work.
Last week the finishing work was
done on the new thirty-m'le electric
fence just put up by the United States
Electric Fence Company, under con-
tract with the Tx ranch management
The engine was turned loose and the
current was turned on for the entire
line, and since then and from this on
she huns in beautiful shape - she
stands a system OF practical fencing
neither surpassed nor equaled by any
other. 1t extends from a point about
Two miles out to point away out in
Carson County, beyond the Southern
Kansas road. and to say that the
management which grasped at once its
utility and had it built-to say that
this management and the people
who have inspected it are pleased
would be a mild expression. 1t is
simply one of the wonders of science,
and is a monument to its inventor.
On Saturday party had a demonstra-
ton of its effectiveness On one side
of the fence stood some dozen or fifteen
steers, on the other stood one alone.
He undertook to break through and 60
over to the majority. He had no idea
he was tackling buzz saw when he
struck that smooth wire fence. Well,
S.., 40 Junipcu IIhe ne was nit at once
by forty million hornets, and with his
tail coiled over his back he wheeled
and only struck the ground in high
places. Then the fifteen made a dash
to join and follow him. One by one
they rubbed that electric fence, and as
fast as they did they jumped, bawled.
kicked, wheeled and sailed off as
though they had urgent business at
north pole, and only had a few hours
in which to make il. That electric
fence is stunner-it is the eighth and
greatest wonder o; the world. Not
one of these cattle was hurt. but not
one OF them will 60 near that fence

| The republicans of Ohio are max
ing mistake in seeking by arbitrary
and lawless means to retain power
where the people have decreed that
they shall relinquish it. They pro

small advantage in the state senate
by depriving that body of its constitu.
tIonal right of judgment in matters

of many illustrations of the present

The action of the Republican ma.
jority in Congress in unseating reg
ularly elected Democratic members
is spectacle for gods and men. A
Republican contestant was given
his seat the other day, when he had
been beaten by majority OF $4,000,
the only reason assingned for such
action being that the defeated can
didate ought to have received more
votes. 1t is now seriously proposed
by the Committee on Elections to
seat minority candidate from
South Carolina on the ground that
the election laws of that State are
not in harmony with the State con
stitution. In other words; the COM
mite declares that the laws of South
Carolina are not sufficiently consti-
tutional to elect a majority candi-
date, but are constitutional enough

Specimen Tariff Rates.

On blankets, flannels and hats the
Mckinley bill increases the tariff
tax from 60 per cent. TO 40 per
cent. that is to say, blanket cost
ing abroad 81 costs s1.66 at present
after getting through the custom
house, but under the Mckinley bill
it will cost $40. This would not
be so bad if the prevention of for
eign competition did not enable the
American manufacturer to put his
81 blanket up to $500. That is
what he wants high tariff for, and
that is what he will do. So of other
things. The increase of duty marks
the proposed increase of price of
the home made article. COMPETE
ton here will ultimately, it is said
bring the tariff made price DOWN
Perhaps it might after ten years,
but for the trusts and combines
formed to prevent competition and
advance prices. How high are
prices to go? To the top of the tar
lift wall. Blankets of the 81 grade
will be put up to $40 not higher,
because if put higher the foreign
blanket would come over the 10
per cent. wall. Each class of arti-
Giles has its own wall. On women's
dress goods the Mckinley bill raises
the tariff rate to lob per cent. on
worsted knit goods to l47 per cent.
on yarns to 100 per cent. on tin
plate to "A per cent. on common
window glass to 1875 per cent. on
penknives to 75 per cent on cotton
ties to 120 per cent on shawls to 90
per cent. and on pearl buttons the
increase is from 100 to 1853 per cent
For example, cheap buttons costing
abroad IA cents per gross are add
vanced to Sc cents per gross, while
the kind costing 50 cents per gross
is advanced to s1.3O per gross.
Cheap hats are to pay duty of
ITO per cent. or more than double.
Carpets are advanced to go per
cent. Castor oil, happily, is reduced
from 220 per cent. to 125 per cent.

another Democrat legally elected,

Farmers, you were promised bet
ter times and higher markets if
Harrison was elected. Have you
got them? Are cattle and farm
products generally bringing higher
prices than they did two years ago?
If not, you were deceived by the
Republican. leaders, and never ought
to trust them again. Gen. Golf
promised you fifty cents per pound
for your wool if Harrison was elect
ed. Harrison was elected and wool
is no higher than it was two years
ago. Remember the fancy pictures
of future prosperity that weare.held
up to your gaze by Republican ora
tors two years ago and contrast it
with the actual facts within your own
experience since Harrison's election.
and then, if you want to do so, go
and vote the Republican ticket this
fall, but don't delude yourself and
try to delude your neighbor into
thinking that in that way you will
ever get good times. You may
make good times for the milIionaires
and monopolists, but you are voting
to keep yourself in poverty and
your children in want. Good times
will never come to the masses until
every man reaps the benefit of his
own labor, and he can't do that un-
der a governmental policy that
taxes the many for the benefit of
the few.
