The Republican Dilemma.

When the friends of the McKin.
ley Tariff bill, led by the Chair.

Committee, have succeeded in re.
moving the obstruction to its pas.
sage, which they find in the Force
bill, their work will have only be.
gun. They will In the 6rst place
encounter Secretary Blaine, with
his host drawn across the path,
denouncing the illiberal measure,
as affording no additional "market
for a single bushel of wheat or a
single barrel Of pork" While re-
.ciprocity is not as Mr.Blain might
put it, the full natural liberty of
friendly barter" which belongs to
to every man and every commu-
nifty, until restrained by some over
ruling public necessity, it is in
consistent with the Mckinley bill
as free trade itself. If President
Harrison shall lend himself to re-
ciprocity, as the Blaine men pro-
claim he will, it will be still worse
for the Mckinley bill.
Again, the Tribune, extreme ad-
yocate of monopoly taxes as it is,
warns the friends of the McKin-
ley iniquity that its rascally
character is fully understood and
appreciated by many unprincipled
Republican Congressmen who
voted for it only to hold the party
together in order to pass the Force
bill. If, however, the Force bill is
to be laid aside, to make way for
the Tariff bill, these patriots will
speak the truth and vote honestly.
They will, according to the anger
ed, and, probably for that reason,
veracious Tribune, strike especially
at the provisions intended to pour
the money of the taxpayers into
the pockets of Boss Quay's particu-
lar friends in Pennsylvania. Inthe
same article I'm which ohr candid
neighbor denounces Quay and the
boodlers for postponing the Force
pill for the Tariff bill, it endeavors
to reconcile the gentlemen interest
ed in the plumber provided by this
measure, by the promise that the
Force bill "carries within itself the
assurance of future tariff bills by
the hundred" In other words, the
Tariff bill is huge swindle for the
benefit of campaign corruptionists,
at the expense of the people of the
country, but the Force bill is a far
greater and more comprehensive
swindle which will enable the
party to count In as many repre-
.'sentatives as it needs and to carry
hundreds Of such bills, to rob in
,dustry and enrich monopoly. Per-
haps the tribune article will
frighten Quay and the tariff bene-
fciaries and perhaps it will not. 1t
may incline enlightened public
opinion to the support of such leg
islation and 1t may not. Its avOwal
of the purposes Of it's party in this
case, will, in our opinion, prove
even more startling to the country
than its late fatrfooted statemen
that Quay bought the electoral
votes of New York IN 1888. And
again, while Quay and the Tribune
are coptendiPg for precedence--the
Pne for the Tariff bill and the other
for the Force bill-public opinion
among all classes and In all
sections, has become so intense and
overwhelming against both, as to

A Dreadful Death.

James Beoard, of Smithfield, ILL.,.
was bitten two years ago by rabid
dog. A maidstone was applied, and
he was pronounced cured. Some days
ago a hound went mad near Cuba,
and ran amuck through the country,
biting stock and other animals.
Before its journey was ended it had
bitten James Beoard and two other
persons The dog passed on and APP
peared at Bushnell, in McDough
county, where it caused much terror.
Beoard and the other two victims
went Immediately to Denver and APP
piled the maidstone. 1t adhered te-
naciously in each case, especially
that of Beoard, to whom several APP
plications were made. The men re-
turned home satisfied that the danger
was passed.
Beoard, however, decided to pro
tect his family against any possible
evil results. and chained himself hand
and foot, so that if he went mad he
could injure no one. His friends were
inclined to ridicule his precautions.
but he remained firm. Shortly after
ward Beoard began to show evidences
of hydrophobia. His friends and
family became alarmed, and in his
last sane moments Beoard begged
that he might be more securely
guarded, so that no harm might come
to his loved ones.
The mans sufferings became terri
BILE. He raved constantly Of the
myriad dogs that were jumping at
him. The sight of water threw the
sufferer into spasms. Then came in
tervals of barking and yelping and
swapping at anythingin sight. Death
relieved Beoard Thursday evening.
The other two men are in an agony
of fear. The authorities have issued
an order that all dogs in the town
ship must be killed.

Removal of the Lee Statue.

The trucks containing the eques-
trian statue of General Robert Z. Lee
were last Thursday removed from the
railway station in Richmond to the
plat where the statue is to be erected.
Shortly after five o'clock the process
sion was formed. with a squad of po-
lice in front. Then came Lee Camp
of Confederate Veterans, followed by
the old veterans organizations. I'm
mediately behind them came four
trucks i'm single file, with men, women
and children Juggling at the ropes.
The line of march was literally pack
ed with people, while the cheering
and waving of flags was continuous.
Here and there grown people would
drop out of the line, and rush would
be made to fill their places. The boys
and some of the girls, however, kept
their places on the ropes to the end.
1t is estimated that there were TWO
thousand grown ladies and girls
whose fair hands held the ropes
Little tots were carried out in the
streets in their mothers arms and
their small hands placed upon the
ropes. All the trucks were hand
somely decorated with pictures of
General Lee and flags of the Southern
States. while here and there q Con
federate battle flag floated to the
breeze.
When the head of the line reached
the monument grounds the brass
band played Dixie" AS each of the
four wagons arrived a scramble took
place among the men and boys to Sc
- ha rnlioc of Ia a
occasion, and the knives of the crowd
made sad havoc with the nearly mile
of rope used. Probably third or
more was hacked up and carried of
by the relic hunters.
1t is estimated that $500 uniformed
military and as many organized Con-
federate veterans will be present at
the unwilling of the Lee monument
i'm Richmond on the Goth inst. The
total number Of visitors on that oc-
casion, it is estimated, will reach %,
600. The Governors of Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina and West
Virginia will attend. 1t is deemed
appropriate that the standard under
which Gen. Lee won fame should be
displayed, therefore many Confeder-
ate camps will carry Confederate
flags. while the stars and stripes will
be borne by all the Southern military
in procession. 1t has been suggested
that on the occasion Of the unwilling
of the statue the bands should play
exclusively the airs popular to the
Southern people during the war, as
it is contended that all of the sur
roundings of the day should harmo-
nize with the period in which Gen.
Lee won his fame.

Charmed by a Snake.

A daughter of Edison Perkins, of
Litchfield, Conn, narrowly escaped
being bitten by poisonous snake on
Thursday. The snake was hicsing
or a flathead adder and was the larg-
est ever seen around there. 1t meas
ured three feet in length and was five
inches around at the largest part.
Miss Perkins was charmed by the rep
tile, which had caught her eye, and
she could move neither hand nor foot.
She went into the woods with her
brother to gather rbutus The broth
er took gun with him and was look
ing out for woodchucks. He wander
ed away from his sister and when he
returned saw the snake, with head
erect, creeping toward his sister and
shot the reptile. Miss Perkins says
she was bending over to pick flowers
and as she tried to rise she saw the
adder gazing at her. She tried to run
away but could not, and she was not
even able to turn her head. AS her
brother came up, she says, she was
growing dizzy.

S200,o00,0OO A YEAR.

A startling statement was made on
the floor of the United States Senate
last Friday during the discussion Of
the pension appropriation bill. Not
satisfied with the enormous and ex-
travagant amount appropriated to
pay pensions, Senator Sherman pro-
posed an amendment increasing the
number of pension agents, his evil
dent intention being to provide a
few more fat places for his friends.
Senator German, member OF the
committee on appropriations, said
that committee believed--in view of the
fact that pensions now amounted to
800, 900, 900 year and that another
hundred millions a year would be
added if pending legislation was en-
acted-economy in the administra
ton of the pension Office should at
least be practiced. From 1891 and
for some years to come, the pensions
would amount to 5000, 100000 a
year. In the interest of the soldiers
Congress might bankrupt the gov
eminent, and probably would, for in
fifteen years there would be more
spent for pensions than it had cost to
put down the rebellion.
Two hundred millions Of dollars a
year for the purchase Of the soldiers
vote
Is it not startling?
An intelligent and conservative
Senator believes that it is not only
possible, but probable, that Congress
will bankrupt the government with
its pension extravaganza!
Is il not alarming?

the tax on tin-plate, thus forcing the
consumers to pay millions additional
for their tinware, not because there
are any tin-plate industries in this

tempting someone to go into the bust
