be taken care of at the poor's houses in the

northern character. The ex- Confederates,

were not in southern poor's houses, but
cheerfully paid their full share of the tax
that is exacted to pension the men who de-
spoiled them.

A LETTER FROM Mr.. CLEvELAND.-TheI
third tariff reform banquet of the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Canton, Ohio,
was given Thursday evening. 1t was a
grand success, being attended by four hum
dred prominent Ohio democrats. EXPIRES
ident Cleveland sent the following letter OF
regret:
81 thank you for the invitation l have
just received to meet with the members OF
the Young Mems Democratic Club at Can
ton to rejoice over'the late democratic vic
tory. am sorry to say that it will be i'm
possible for me to be present on the occa-
sion You contemplate, but l hope that it will
be full of enthusiasm and congratulation.
And yet may not suggest one sober
thought which should constantly be in our
minds? Our late success is, of course, the
triumph of democratic principles, but that
success was made possible by the cooper
alton of many who are not to ba considered
as irrevocably and under all circumstances
members of our party. They trusted us
duu dHlOu IuCmo0ltOo WALL no Al oho Ass'S
struggle because they saw that those with
whom they acted politically were needless Of
the interests of the country and untrue to
the people. We have still to convince
them that democracy means something
more than mere management for party sue
cess and partizan distribution of benefits
after success. This can only be done by in
sisting that in the conduct of our party
principles touching the public welfare shall
be placed above spoils, and this is the sentl-
ment of the masses of the democratic par
ty to-day. They are disintorested and pa
triotic, and they should not be misrepre-
sented by the tricks of those who would moi
scruple to use the party name for selfish
purposes.
do not say that there is danger of this
but am convinced that our duty to thost
who have trusted US consists In pushing OF
continually and vigorously the principles il
the advocacy of which we have triumphed
and thus superseding all that is ignoble
and unworthy. In this way we shall place
our party on solid ground and con firm th'
people in the hope that we strive for thei
welfare, and following this course, we shall
deserve and achieve further success"

to destroy free elections under pretense
of making them free. Then there should
be an interval of two weeks to give the iu-

creates royal succession in the republican

Senator Pugh on the Force Bill

When the Force bill came up in the Sem
ate Thursday Senator Pugb, of Alabama,
addressed the Senate in opposition to it. In
the course of his remarks he said that the
country could not fail to understand the
true character and nature of the proposed
legislation. 1t was never intended to be
put in operation in republican districts. 1t
was founded on one distinct, substantive
proposition, and that was that State cleo
ton officers nigh. be watched. guarded and
overruled because they were democrats, and
because, for that reason alone, it was un.
safe to trust them. Under its operation
there would not be a single district in the
United States from which democrats were
elected to Congress that would not be sub
ject to supervision by partisan republicans.
The whole election machinery of the Uni
ted States would become partisan and neces-
sarily corrupt. The whole conception of
the bill was a transparent and audacious
scheme, having no other end or purpose
than the capture of democratic districts,
and their transfer to the republican party
in Congress to be used in perpetuating it's
supremacy in defiance ofthe will of the peo-
pie.
SOLDIERS PREFERRED TO NEGRO RULE
He declared that the intelligent white
people of the South would prefer the rule
of army officers aud white soldiers to the
intolerable rule of the infamous hordes that
would be turned loose upon them through
the outrageous election machinery provided
in the bill. On his responsibility as man
and as Senator, be expressed his convic
tion that there was not State in the South
in which, as rule, it was not the honest
and earnest desire to have fair and free cleo
tions for members of Congress and for
presidential electors, and that there were
not SO many exceptions to the rulein South.
ern States ard districts as there were il
Northern States and districts.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. THE SAFE COURSE.
II the system of local self-government was
not an esta blshed failure, then it was mani
fest that The intelligent and moral white
people Of the South and the State govern
ments of She South, which were immediate
ly interested and sorely afflicted. by these
miserable race complications, would have
to be allowed TO meet and mitigate the evil
as far as possible. He undertook to say
that the people of the South were better
treated than they would be in the North
under like conditions, and he declared, in
conclusion, that the wisest aud safest course
for both races was to trust to the policy Of
. ,n-interfsrence by the federal government.

RoBBER TANTlA BHEEL.
India's Robin Hood Makes Full Con.
fesslon of Crimes.
Tantia Bheel, the bold Robin Hood OF
the Central provinces in India, who was
recently captured, has just made a full
confession. Fifteen years ago he left
his village and took up the occupation
of cultivator of land. He committed
some minor police offense and was sem
fenced to years imprisonment in the
Nagpore Jail. He was subsequently i'm
prisoned in Jubbulpore Jail, and on his
release settled in Holkar's territory,
but was forced to take refuge in the
Jungle to escape arrest consequent on a
false til charge of robbery. He carried on
prcss and ti3ns for year. and was
Jail, whence he managed rs scaps.S 49, !"
He then formed dacoit band and
commenced robberies on an extensive
scale. His first dacoity was accom-
panied by murder, and his men next
pillaged and burned village. In one
of his raids policeman's nose was cut
off. Subsequently Tantia raided
Pokur, where he cut off the nose
of woman who had helped to
betray him., and he robbed her
daughter-in-law of all her jewels.
At a robbery in the Behut district he
again cut off policeman's nose. For
the last two years, being much harassed
by both the Central Province and Hol-
kar's police, he got tired of his Jungle
wanderings; he was growing old, and
his eyc-sight was failing. On commence
ing his career he could travel sixty
miles on a stretch, but now not more
than twenty. The greater portion OF
his time was spent in Holkar's territory.
He had never killed any body himself,
but had robbed the rich to help the
poor. Last year he distributed 5000
rupees among the poor on the banks OF
the Norbudda. He had frequently pur-
chased bullocks for poor people.
"He was eventually arrested through
the treachery of a Gumpoot Rajpoot TIC
whom he had frequently given large
Sunoa of monav with which the latter
