seem to consider it, but the lowan is Win

bill, which gives the Republicans so much

If the Alliance falls off at lie same rate
the coming year as it has the past twelve
months, it will require a college professor
to figure out its influence on the presiden-
tial election Kansas City Times.
The Mckinley managers in Ohio, having
need of a little money, drew on the manu-

That some provision like the Swiss Re-

The Farmers Alliance in Kentucky has
opened a store in Louisville and taken op-
lions on thirty-fve others throughout the
state, with the avowed intention of revo-
lutionizing the farm supply business. The
economic importance of this enterprise is
not to be lightly estimated. The rock of
failure for such movements heretofore has
usually been wasteful management and the
neglect of the close economics that are en-
forced by competition. If the Alliance can
steer clear of these obstacles, its venture
may attain business success. At all events
the experiment will be instructive and
worth watching Philadelphia Record.

LAREDO, WEBB COUNTY, TEX. Oct. 80
One of the most atrocious double murders
which ever blackened the annals of this
county was committed this morning about
O'Clock.
Yesterday evening United States Deputy
Marshal George Wise was notified by I
party named Francisco Talazar that Fran
cisco Flores, a noted smuggler, would come
up town from the eastern part toward the
river with struggled goods. The marshal
notified friend. The two laid
the schoolhouse plaza, stationing them
selves there about 3 O'Clock. About 4
O'Clock the man whom they wanted came
down a street near Marshal Wise and was
halted. He stopped and laid down his bum
die. The officer stepped up to see what he
had, when Flores stabbed him in the pit
of the stomach. Wise Staggered back and
fired two shots at his murderer, when
his friend, named c. Garcia, ran
up. Wise called out that he was killed and
called upon Garcia to catch his murderer.
Garcia, who was not an officer, ran after
Flores and caught him, when he also re-
ceived his death wound from the deadly
knife, being stabbed about an inch below
the left nipple and falling dead in his
tracks. He never spoke. "
The pistol shots attracted the attention
of people living in the neighborhood, and
they ran out to find one dead man and an
other mortally wounded and fleeing
shadow in the distance. Wise was con-
veyed to his residence where a stricken
wife and two children now watch over the
body of kind and affectlonate husband
ana father. Garcia was carried to the resi-
dence of his family where his
wife and three children now bow
their heads beneath the Christening
rod. Marshal Wise lived until this.
morning about S o'clock He lived to
tell the story of his murder and all the cir
cumStanceS connected Herewith.
The bundle the man laid down contained
about ten gallons OF meScal Flores is
known here as smuggler, and is a natural
lied citizen of the United States. If he can
be apprehended in Mexico, q demand wiz
be made for his extradition. Were
he here tonight no court of
justice would ever pass upon his
guilt or innocence. His body would
surely dangle from a telephone, a telegraph
or an electric light pole before morning
Wise was known as conscientious, hard
working officer and had many friends in this
community. He gave up his life, and an
intimate friend of his, well known in the
community, only in friendship aiding him,
also lost his life while endeavOring to enf
force Uncle Sans laws prohibiting the free
entry of mescal into this country
from Mexico. Ten gallons of that sedUc-
tive liquor, worth probably SIS, cost two
good men their lives, while if the smuggler
had been caught, he would not have been
punished with more than thirty days ins
Jail. Officers here think thatif the anthori-
ties in Mexico can catch him they will turn
him over to the authorities of the state of
Texas.

The enthusiasm of the political con-
testants in Ireland finds vent in street
riots between the contending partisans.
Broken heads and disiigured faces are
marks of honor, as showing that the
man who bears these marks has been
in the heat Of the fight. There is no
principle at stake in the contest, for
both parties are for Ireland and home
rule. 1t is simply an outburst of per-
sonal feeling between the Parnellites
and the McCarthyites-a feeling that
is the survival of the antagonists
made by Parnell's downfall. Such is
the legacy of the late Irish leader to
his country-a legacy of strife and
hate.

IS HE A DEMOCRAT?

Itself being an apologist for Mr.. Cole,
and likely, therefore, to put the best
face upon his conduct, tho Dallas
Times-Herald's account of the incident
OF his resignation from the executive
committee cannot be complained of as
falling short of justice to him. We
quote from that paper:
Mr. Cole said he did not ask any compro-
mise. If there We're those who thought he
was out of his place as member OF the CON-
mittee, they knew their duty. If the sub
treasury was anti-Democratic he was no
Democrat.
If the sub-treasury was anti-Demo-
cratic, Mr.. Cole was no Democrat.
That is his own statement with regard
to himself. The only question to be
considered in this matter, then, is
whether the sub-treasury scheme of
Macune is or is not Democratic prin-
ciple.
The only official declaration made by
the Democratic party in Texas, touch
ing the sub-treasury, has condemned it.
The party has nowhere approved it.
The platform adopted in the San An
tonic convention is the only rule of
guidance the party followers in Texas
have to go by. Ii the official utterance
of the party counts for anything, there
fore, the sub-treasury scheme is anti
Democratic, and Mr.. Cole is, by his
own declaration OF his principles, no
Democrat, and is not the right sort of
a man to be on a Democratic executive
committee.
1t is for the writing of j letter up
holding the action of the Dallas Demo
Gratis in releasing this anti-Democrat
that Mr.. Finley, the chairmen of the
state Democratic executive committee,
has been denounced by some men who
lay violent claim to oelong to that
party. The true Democrats OF the
state will stand by Chairman Finley.
and give the doughfaces to understand
that if they prefer to stay with the Ma
Gune crowd and shout for the sub
treasury, they can do so-but they can't
do that and take part in Democratic
conventions.

FROM the Atlantic stations of the
United States navy to Valparaiso is a
long journey, and the Chilians act as if
the American men-of-war could never
make it, but they will not be long in
finding out how they have erred.
There are few warships in the Pa
cific that may be spared from their
stations in case of need, that could soon
reach the CHILEAN coast, and thirty-fve
or forty days will give time for a

It will not pay Southern farmers
to raise less cotton unless they raise more
of other things to make up for
this. Farmers must have money, but if
they raise plenty of corn, wheat, oats, hay,
horses, mules, hogs, cattle, sheep, chickens,
turkeys, ducks and geese, and also plenty
of vegetables, and sufficient quantity of
fruit for home use, they could get along
with much less money. Cotton will do for
a money crop or surplus crop. but it
should not be allowed to crowd out every
thing else.
