"A colored man named Henry Calling,
an escaped lunatic from the Colored In
sane Asylum of North Carolina, went to
the residence of alady, residing in Isle
of Wight county, a short distance from
the station, and under threats of muir
dering her with large butcher knife
which he had in his hand, demanded
twenty dollars. The lady told the negro
that she did not have the money in the
house, but If satisfactory she would give
him an order for the amount wanted on
her lawyer at Windsor, q station on the
Norfolk and Western railroad. This
was satisfactory to the lunatic and going
to the lady's stable he took one OF her
hest horses and drove Off rapidly to
Windsor.
In the meantime messenger had
been sent to Windsor to notify the au-
thorities what had occurred, and re-
uuesting the arrest of the negro. When
the negro reached Windsor on horse
hack he had his butcher knife strapped
TO his wrist and arm. and when the cum
stable of Northampton county and the

and once in the chest. The negro then
1eaped on his horse and drove oil at Il

were fired at him, each ball lodging in
his back. After Il chase the lunatic
was finally captured, and although he
had nine balls in his body, it required
four men to hold him while he was
made secure with Il rope. The negro
is said to be in very critical condition.

THE New York Tribune brings for
ward a simple but forcible argument
III favor of the Mckinley bill. The
business of the country wants the agi-
tation Of the tariff to cease. Business
men may differ on tariff politics, but
they do not differ as to the desirable
ity Of settling the question. If the
present congress passes the Mckinley
bill. there will be no more tariff legiS-
lation for ten years, provided the Re
publican party remains inpower. The
election Of Democratic house will be
followed by a speedy renewal of tariff
agitation and the continuance of bus
mess uncertainty There can be no
stronger argument than this for in
fuencing practical business men to
favor the passage of the Mckinley
BILL and to secure in November the
election of Republican house.

for it the 5 cents bushel more on
wheat in the Mckinley bill relieves
this wheat in it's best market-the
mining regions of the interior--of the
competition of Canadian wheat. This
is still more true of the most valua-
Bile crop grown by the Oregon farmer,
prunes, which has had a duty of 1
cent a pound and is given one OF 2
cents pound in the tariff passed by
the house. This is new crop, in
Oregon, and under it's cultivation in
the valley of the Columbia the large
farms of the early settlers are being
cut into small ten-acre fruit patches,
on which clear profit of $500 and
$500 a year per acre is not infrequent.

How the Oregon Farmers Reasoned.

Oregon is a farmer state, and the
Mckinley bill is farmers tariff. In
twenty years, under a high duty on
wool, the number of sheep in Oregon
has advanced from 318,123 in 1870
to 1929, $50. Even in the last ten
years thenumber of sheep has almost
trebled, having only been LOSS, 162
in 1880. The wool clip of the state
this spring is at least 100000
pounds, and every farmer in Oregon
has noted the advance in wool quota
tions since the report OF the McKin-
ley bill. Oregon, with 100000
bushels of wheat last year, is one of
the leading spring wheat states, and

The Case Fairly Stated.

Mr.. Constable, representing the New
York importers who oppose the Nc
Kinley bill. said to the Senate COM
nittee: 1--WE protest also because
the bill is an example of the worst
kind of class legislation. in that it dis
eliminates against the importer and
in favor of the domestic manufact-
urer.n The issue could not be more
fairly stated, and the statement is
acceptable to heprotectionists. The
entire purpose of protective tariff leg
islationis to urageimportations
and to encourage domestic manufact-
ures. The tariff gives employment to
American capital and American la
Dor. It tends to keep American mon
ey at home instead of being paid out
in Europe for foreign kickshaws or
even for articles of necessity and COM
fort which can be produced just as
well at home.
During theyear 1889 there wereim-
ported into the United States pro-
ducts and manufactures amounting
to 1925, 100000 in value. To pay
for all this stuff good money, or pro-
perty that would have brought mon
ey, was shipped abroad. In some
cases, perhaps, we did worse-shipped
bonds abroad to pay for what we
bought-that is, went in debt for that
portion of our purchase. A system
that will keep our money, or any part
of it, at home adds to public and prl-
waite prosperity. increases alike the
profits of capital and the wages of
labor, and is a constant public bene-
faction. That is the protective sys-

The Democracy finds it difficult to
conclude who is the autocrat at the
head of the Republican party: wheth-
er it is Tom Reed or Matt Quay; and
they take turns at charging the one
and then the other with running the
Republican party. But, in the mean
while, the fact remains that the grand
old party is well conducted and is
getting there" as the saying is.

BUFFALO TO GREAT FALLS,


Colonel p. p. Shelby Speaks of the Great
Northern Route for Freight.
Col. F. p. Shelby is being received in
town with the old-tme regard which is
felt for the first general manager of the
Montana Central and the organizer of the
extensive business 1t has enjoyed since he
took hold of it.
Col. Shelby, who is assistant traffic
manager of the Great Northern system,
was asked by a TRIBUNE reporter
if business was still improving. at isl
he replied, "the traffic over the Great
Northern line with all Montana points
shows a gratifying increase. 1t is more
than double what it was a year ago with
Great Falls"
"What facilities will the Northern
steamship line afford our merchantsP I
understand that navigation is now open.'
Eyes, navigation is now open. The
steamers of the Northern steamship line
leave Buffalo daily. The time from Buff
falO to Superior is about three days, or
from New York about six days. The av.
erage lake and rail time is as good If not
better than the all rail time. The steam
ers of this line are constructed OF, steel
and are the swiftest on the lakes"
"Have the rates been establishedY"
"Yes, they are as follows: From New
York to Superior for the six classes: 66,
53, AZ, 33, % and "a cents. From Boston
to Great Falls they are something less,
being e9, 80, 40, 80, ~ and "a cents.
These are subject to the official classifica-
ton" The rates from Superior are same
as from St. Paul. The rates on wool will
be published in a few days.
what are your imp ressions this time
of Montana, Colonel?"
montana is growing all the time in
public estimation in the east. 1t could
not be otherwise. The progress you are
making in mining, IN the settlement of
public lands, in the establishment OF new
towns and in all the elements of wealth
are seen and discerned in the east both
by capitalists and workingmen. Con-
tinue to make your re~sources-that is the
mines, water. power and agricultural
lands that you possess known and you
will attract still more people from the
west and east. The growth of Great
Falls is astonishing. l believe without
having compared figures, that the freight
traffic has increased here proportionably
more than at any other point on the
Great Northern system"
