Bears and the Tariff.

The following is taken from the
Asheville Democrat: ga letter from
our good friend G. r. Bird. of Ram
seytown, Yancey county, gives us the
account of his fight with a bear re-
Gently, and its result. He and young
frierd named Williams were out in
the mountains looking after cattle, and
had beer discussing the possibility of
meeting bear. While thus talking
and watching the young man called
excitedly, There he is and sure
enough she" was there. Mr.. Bird
brought both his visual orbs and trusty
rifle to bear upon that bear, and he
was living bear no more. The first
crack of that rifle was the crack of
doom for bruin. Mr.. Bird, who is 72
years of age, was so elated at his sue
cess, and wishing to share his pleasure
with his good wife-herself we'll up in
years-he fastened home with some of
the meat and foot. Mr.. B. writes
his wife "was 80 delighted with his
success he could easily count the rivets
in her rev teeth," and "both felt 20
years younger" He is anxious to
know whether Mr.. Ewart had the tar
if taken off bears hides, as this one
was evidently foreigner and had
much wool on it. Mr.. Evart is just
now engaged in permitting Mr.. Craws
ford to take the tariff off his own bare
hide, and may not know what the
Mckinley bill does provide.

WOULD-BE ASSASSINS.
THE REPUBLICANS USING EVERY
MEANS TO DEFEAT BREOKIN-
RIDGE.

A Man Attempts to Shoot Him Through a
Window While He is Making Speech.
The Gun Failed to Fire.
A few days ago Congressman Breck-
inrid; e, of Arkansas, was defrauded of
his seat in the House by Reed &; Co.
His constituents promptly re nomina
ted him and he is making a hot can
vass. The Republicans are trying to
prevent his return to the House by
assassinating him in cold blood.
A special to the Herald from Mer-
rillton, Ark, says an attempt was
made to assassinate ex Congressman G.
4. Breckenridge, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in the second
district. while he was speaking at Cen
tire Ridge on Monday night of last
week.
Centre Ridge is thickly settled
farm community, thirty miles north
east of Merrillton, and is populated
principally by Republicans.
When about half through his
speech, the speaker aud his auditors
were startled by the report of a gun a
short distance from the church where
the meeting was held. Some minutes
later the explosion of a percussion cap
sLartled all those who were at the
window, before which Mr.. Breckin
ridge stood.
Many rushed out of the house, but
the would-be assassin escaped in the
darkness.
MIR. Breckenridge resumed and fin
ished his speech, however.
A short time afterwards, when Mr.
Breckinridge and few friends were
going to the hotel, a man named Nor
man was knocked down with a slung
shot i'll the hands of party who
escaped, as the nj sht was very dark k
and rainy.
Mr.. Breckenridge saw through the
window the head of the party who
attempted to shoot him, but he could
not identify him.
The grand jury is in session and
will investigate the matter
The World also has an account OF
the attempted assassination, in which
its correspondent says, this attempt on
the life of Mr., Breckinridgei is thought
to be the outgrowth of an incendiary
speech made by Powell Clayton at
Pine Bluff recently. Clayton is repor.
ted to have said!
"Breckinridge has usurped the seat
to which John M. Clayton was elected
and he now has the audacity to come
before the people and ask for re.
endorsement. So help me God, it
shall never be given him. He is res
ponsible, directly or indirectly, for
John NJ. Clayton's assassination, and
the State of Arkansas will never be
cleared from the stain of that murder
so long as Breckenridge remains in
Congress.

The Galveston Ne,us has this to say
about the trial of Judge Turner, in
Texas, for the killing of Mr.. B. A.
Davis, young North Carolinian who
went to Texas to teach school and met
his death: "The friends of Judge John
b. Turner will rejoice to hear that he
was acquitted of the charge of the
murder of B. A. Davis at Groveton
last June for the seduction of his
daughter. He was indicted at the
September term of court in this county,
and on change of We. 10 was carried
to Walker county for trial. A large
number attended the trial from this
county, as much interest was mani
tested in Turner's behalf both here and
in Walker county.
He was, very ably defended by the
local bar, assisted by A. T. Mckinney
of Huntsville and S. B. Cooper of
Woodville, both Of whom made very
eloquent and forcible speeches, the
jury several times being brought to
tears. as we'll as large number of the
audience. Ben. Campbell. Earl Ad-
ans and g. G. Clegg prosecuted.
Judge N. G. Kittrell delivered a
very able charge to the jury, who re-
tired and were out only six minutes
when they returned, bringing in ver-
dict of not guilty and showing to the
country that Walker county did not
believe in punisLing man who stood
charged with the murder Of the seducer
of his daughter.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Senator Plumb thinks the people
of the United States ought to have an
inning. 1t will be necessary first to
put the other side out.
1t is said that tickets bearing the
name of Tyre York for Congress in
the eighth district have been printed
and that the Republicans are making
Faucette a tool to defeat Cowles.
DIR. r. M. Norment, of Lumber
ton, has published card in the Robe
somian in which he says he will be a
candidate for Congress against Capt.
S. B. Alexander. DR.. Norment is a
Republican but will run as an Inde-
pendent.
Let Us hope that education, North
aud South, will retire such fire eaters,
such incendiaries, such corrupters of
the ballot, such conscienceiess bullies
and bulldozers as Thomas B. Reed to
private life, and leave the places they
disgrace to be filled, perhaps, by some
educated negro from Mississippi.
Such an exchange would be a great
gain to the country-Courier Journal.
Speaker Reeds ssbusiness" Con-
gress during its first session appropri-
ated no less than s462, ,939, ,956 of the
peoples money, not including the paw
ments to be made under the Disability
pension bill, which will absorb any
where from s35,000,00O, to $6O,OOO,-
900. This is appalling extravaganza,
nothing less. The G. 0. P. is becom-
ing an expensive luxury.-Philadel-
phia Record.
Whether hides shall be taxed or
not now depends solely on the "discre-
ton" of President Harrison. This
makes the conditions of business in the
shoe and leather trade about as relia-
BILE as Summer breeze. There was a
hope that when Congress adjourned
business would be safe from hostile
legislation for while, but the mis-
chiefmaking power has been delegated
to the Executive. The poor old Con-
stitution looks seedy.-Bostou Globe.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the Pension Office needs thor
ough overhauling. The proper way
to reform the abuses which the stall
wart New York Tribune has shown
to thrive under Raum is to replace
him with strong, clean man, without
a suspicion of politics or influence
or anything of the kind about him.
There are plenty such among the ex-
soldiers, and the President could easily
find one entirely acceptable to the
veterans who would soon break the
hold of the attorneys and conduct the
office in the interest Of the pensioners,
for whose benefit it is supposed to exist.

Let's Quit Smoking.
philadelphia Telegraph ]

"Pedro Murios." The young fellow
! with the nicotine complexion behind
the counter showed his arm into the
glass case, drew out handful of ei-
gars, and laid them down before the
customer.
The customer picked out two that
suited him in color, and threw down a
quarter. He lit one and watched the
smoke curling upwards with a source
of satisfaction.
"You'll be paying Is cents straight
for that cigar next week. Why
Because of the new tariff act; that's
why
No class of consumers will feel the
force of the Mckinley tariff act so
sensitively as smokers. The marked
increase in the duties on imported to
bacco, both the raw and manufactured
article, will begin to tell at once. One
of the largest importing houses in the
city, if not the largest, has already ad-
vanced its prices 10 per cent. It HIS
about 100000 bonded cigars stored
away in the custom house, upon which
it will realize between $4,000 and
$4,000 above the regular profit.
That money, will, of course, come out
Of the pocket of the consumer.
The fragrant 10 cent Henry Clay
cigar, which mas been sold single as a
"leader" for the same money it
brought by the hunded, will jump to
$11 or 11.50, and sell in smaller lots
at the rate of two for quarter.
Gracias cost now 10 cents apiece. Un-
der the new tariff they will sell whole
sale at 500 thousand and two for q
quarter.
New goods in Key " est cigars will
go up from $40 to $40 a thousand.
The same rule will apply to all
cheaper cigars, and within a very
short time the quality of goods offered
for nickel, the price to which the
smoking masses limit themselves, will
be considerably inferior to that which
eau be purchased today for 5 cents.
SuIuatra tobacco which is now worked
for wrappers on cigars ranging in cost
from $25 to $50 thousand will ad-
vance in price from s1.60 to $3.50 a
pound, and its fragrance will hereaf
ter be withdrawn from that class of
inveterates who think that 5 cents is
enough to pay for smoke. They
will either have have to content them
selves with the eAmerican-grown arti
Gle or 60 down deeper in their clothes.

From the StatesuiHe Landmark
A few nights ago number of North
Carolina Republicans who had been
to Washington "whooping her up on
the collectorship, were at the Balti-
more & Potomac depot to take the
train for the South when they espied
Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, strolling
around. They walked up to him and
one of them introduced himself and
said he wanted to present his friends,
a party of North Carolina Republi-
cans. They were each introduced.
When Collector Eaves was presented
the wiry Kansan adjusted his glasses
in that nervous way of his, jerked his
head, looked the collector over, and
said. "Ah! yes! heard of you before!'
Then he asked about North Caro-
lima politics we had a hot cam,
paign down here. Not very, he was
told.
"Why. Vance is down there max

He never met his match but once-in

"Well, guess you all would as lief
see him re elected as to see any other
Democrat up here in his place,
wouldn't you?"
They said yes. "But," said Maj.
Rollins, the new collector, "the Farm

adjusted his Eyeglasses nervously and
jerked his head again. "Scare any

that every human body contains certain
amount of arsenic, which Immediately

by the fact that, SO far, / have never

the question of the cause of death in
which certain amount of arsenic was not
found. remember case in which q
man was arrested and accused of having
poisoned another man with strychnine,
in which all the evidence upon which
the prisoner was held to trial was based
on the purchase by him Of thestrychnine,

animation revealed only traces Of arsen-
ical poisoning. Were I a juryman in q
