Harrison Now in His Debt.

Hartford Times.
Wanamaker obtained his appointment
of postmaster general, as the country
well knows. by his services in the
campaign" He was known as Phila-
delphia business man who had amaSSed
a fortune in trade. When leaving that
field and entering the political arena, so
far at least as to raise gigantic eorrup-
ton fund for Harrison's election, the
latter Individual felt himself under OBJ
legations to the rich tradesman, and he
rewarded him by making him postmas-
ter general-a cabinet position. Wanna
maker now goes so far as to present to
"Mrs. Harrison" $4,000 seaside cot
tage-and the gift is unhesitatingIy
accepted. 1t was not gift which the
president should have regarded under
the circumstances as complimentary
one.

ALOTTERY DEFEAT.

If the anti-lottery organ in NewOrleans
is good authority, decided and possibly
decisive victory was won the past week
in a special election to the senate. 1t was
to fill vacancy in the Feliclana par
ishes, and the anti-lOttery candidate was
elected by 1000 or more majority. A
vote or two in the senate will determine
the result, and it Is claimed that this
election makes that body lnvincible to
the assaults of the lottery. 1t is even
asserted that the negroes left their work
in the field and voted with their white
friends, evidently not with WARMoTH,
PINCHBACK and the other Republican
leaders who issued circulars IN favor of
the lottery side. The legislature of that
state has but few more days to sit,
and it is probable that the lottery case
will be settled this week. If it is de-
feated, there is no other chance that
seems so hopeful as the Dakota they so
nearly captured last winter.

The Purchasing Agent of the Un-

OMAHA, Neb., June 23.-The general
attorney of tine Union Pacific road has
filed petition in the United States cir
cult court instituting suit against G. Fl.
McKibben, late general purchasing
agent of the road, for $50, 900. that being
the sum he is charged with having stolen
during his official career. This money
was obtained by McKibben, it is alleged,
through fraudulent purchases of lum-

issued against all of McKibben's prop

.Jere Murphy. who used to rep

Jere Murphy, who used to represent
an Iowa district in congress and sat on
the Democratic side of the house, was
in town couple of weeks ago and
shook hands until he was tired, says
the New York Star. Half dozen years
years ago he was one OF the popular
men of Washington. He is always full
of good stories, and knows more about
the politics of the Northwest than
dozen ordinary men.
"Why, we Democrats in Iowa are full
of life and activity" said he. Eve are
all ready for another victory. Nobody
believed last fall that we could elect a
Democratic governor, but he sits in Des
Moines to-day. and if we had known
our real strength we could have had a
Democrat in Allison's place in the sep
ate. too. We really didn't know how
to carry at least five congressional dis
now. The tariff fight has completely
demoralized the Republicans out
there. and they don't know which
way to turn. The Iowa farmers
and workers at last realize the
fact that their only hope in the fight for
cheaper goods and lower taxes lies with
the Democrats. The new Democratic
administration of Gov. Boies is greatly
liked all over the state. He is con-
sentative man, of sound Judgment, and
is very careful of state interests. He
has made himself very popular with Re
pubiicans, and could be reelected to-
morrow by a bigger majority than he
had last fall. He will be great help
to the Democrats in the pending fight
for the control of the state. and we are
going to pull through. We ought to
have, and we are going to have, Dem
ocratic senator to succeed James F. Will
son at Washington just as soon as his
term expires. 1t is too bad that we
didn't beat Allison, but we didn't know
how strong we we're till we saw the re-
turns come in after election. You can
be sure we know now, though, and we
are getting together and organizing a
strong front. Mr.. Wilson will be lost
in the shuttle"

The Mckinley bill increases the tariff;
it follows then, unless some tall lying

must increase wages, for it is written
that tariffs are for labor. not for capital.
Should the bill become law it will be
protected industries to demand higher
wages. Here is chance for an object

The eleventh census was discredited

plenty of people in this country who
lost all confidence in the census Office,
and thenceforth no credit was given it
for accuracy OF fairness. Mr.. Porter is
the creature of the Pittsburg ring, and

of the rapidity with which the English

protection ideas, it would be very con-
fiding man who wo uld put trust in his

it is perfectly right and proper that he

A MILWAUKEE paper compares the
tax rates of that city with Detroit, Min
neapolis and st. Paul, as the Western
cities of the same class. and finds that
the amount raised by taxation is nearly
the same in all, but the rate per cent is
2.26 in Milwaukee to LAB in Detroit, 1.80
in st. Paul and 2 IN Minneapolis.
Detroit raises about the same amount as
Milwaukee and claims to have as much to
pay taxes on. 1t is probable that there
is very little difference in the real bur-
den of taxation In the four cities. The
point made by the Milwaukee paper is
that it's assessment should be raised in
order to reduce the rate of taxation.

Many of the enumerators in several of

with their census questions, and in Ne
braska they have been trying to obtain
list of the officers of all the state farm
ers' alliances. AS the information was
Invariably refused, it is said that Por-
ter, the superintendent of the census,
applied to the Nebraska alliances de-
handing lists of officers that would
have comprised over 1000 names. The
census act defining the work of the
present census never authorized the
taking Of any such information, aud it
was solicited for political purposes only.
The farmers alliances, composed of in
telligent and Independent farmers,
threaten to make trouble for the party
of protection, and Porter thinks it
would not be bad idea to know the
namOS of its leaders.

ways, while a hilarious urchin on one
side holds up the placard, Endorse
prohibition and die," and on the other
the similar proclamation is, Endorse
prohibition or die" The polite expe-
dent would be that of the Louisiana
Democrats, who made no platform, but
put up candidates on both sides of the
lottery issue. This would avoid split,
perhaps, and afford solution of the
defeat that seems inevitable.
