HON. JERRY

He Knows.

Tells II Farmers Alliance Meeting What
He Knows.
EAsToN, Nd, March 5.-The meeting
Of the Talbot, Dorchester and Caroline
branches of the farmers alliance brought
many people to Easton to-day. Hon.
Jerry Simpson of Kansas spoke. He
said the alliance had fought and sue
ceeded in beating Ingalls,, the man who
had kept the republicans in Kansas to-
gether by pleading ~sectionalism. The
district Simpson will represent in the
nett congress has 10000 voters. In the
convention that nominated him
there was no lawyer, only
two men with white collars
and nine with white shirts. Such a
convention in Kansas is close to heaven.
They had broken up the republican
party SO that nothing was left of it
but the bunghole, around which the
barrel could not be built. He said
that there is not gold enough in the
world to fill the teeth of the people,
much less to furnish an adequate circu-
lating medium, which should not be
less than $50 per capita. While it may
much now with a gold dollar as ever,
it cost him, at least, three times
more of his product to get a
dollar than it ever did before.
Last year Kansas corn, which cost 81
cents a bushel to raise, sold for 49,
cents. It was cheaper than coal, al
though the coal miners we're starving
for bread. Simpson advocated govern
ment control of the railroads. He said
the alliance members in the Kansas leg
islature had been offered from $4,000 to
$4,000 apiece to vote for Ingalls,, but
not one could be corrupted.

In Regard to Disarming Indians.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Recently Gen
eral Morgan, commissioner of Indian af.
fairs, was requested by the secretary of
the interior to give an expression of his
views upon the communication of the
governor of South Dakota, urging the
disarming of Indians in that state. In
his reply General Morgan states: To dis.
arm the Indians generally and leave the
whole body of Sioux smarting under the
sense of hopelessness and wrong, would
tend to produce among them a wide
spread feeling of irritation, unrest and
distrust, disastrous not only to the peace
and prosperity Ct the Indians. but liable
in i'self to bring about the very danger
which disarming is intended to prevent.
For, should the arms that they now
possess be forcibly taken from
them there is nothing either in the law
or in the habits of the people surround
ing them to prevent them from arming
themselves anew at the earliest oppor-
tunity by purchasing from the whites all
the arms and ammunition which they
are able to pay for. The prevention of
future trouble lies, it seems to me, first,
in treating them justly and kindly; Sec
ond, in maintaining among them a we'll
disciplined, suitably paid, vigilant Indian
police force, and lastly, in keeping at ex-
posed points a small garrison of,itroops,
sufficient in case of great emergency, of
maintaining order and protecting both
Indians and whites. In view of these
considerations, therefore, I feel n
strained to advise against the general
disarming of Indians.

Two Wheeling Doctors Have a Long
Expected Encounter on
the Streets.
One Shoots the Other. Who Quietly
Walked into a stoSe
and Died.
The Murderer Walked to the Near
est Policeman and Gave
Himself mp.
A Cool, Deliberate Murder.

WHEELING, w. Va, March IA trag-
edy which has been long predicted &C.
CURED on Eleventh street to-day when
DIR. George Baird, one of the oldest ply
sicians of Wheeling, and a man very
prominent in local politics and municipal
government matters, was shot twice and
almost instantly killed by DR.. George I.
Garrison. The latter is a member of the
state board of health. The mRrder was
the outgrowth of a fued of more than a
years standing. Many threats of lynch
ing we're made against the murderer.
The men met at the Second ward market,
and had some words. They separated.
Later DR.. Baird drove past
DR.. Garrison, who was standing
at Market and Eleventh streets. As DR..
Baird passed DR.. Garrison, he said to a
friend: There is going to be trouble"
He then walked up Eleventh street and
stopped DR.. Baird at the corner of an
alley. The two talked for a moment and
DR.. Baird drove on about fifty feet and
alighted to see a patient. AS DR.. CARR
son came up, he had a revolver in his
hand and said: "Take that back, DOCTOR"
DR.. Baird replied; IT don't have to take
it back, you niggarafed." DR.. Garrison
then fired, and as DR.. Baird slowly
turned squarely toward him, Gar
rison fred a second time. The
ball took effect in Baird's left
eye, the first shot having entered
behind the right ear. DR.. Baird walked
into a store, and said DR.. Garrison had
shot him, took off his gloves and was
dead in ten minutes. DR.. Garrison
walked down the street, holding a re-
~volver, until he met a policeman, to
whom he surrendered. The men were
on the best of terms until eighteen
months ago, when Garrison was elected
health officer. Baird performed the
duties of the office, allowing Garrison
to draw the pay, and attend the lectures
in Baltimore. On being elected to the
second term, beating DR.. Baird's son,
there was a falling out, and Garrison
had Baird arrested for violating the
health ordinance. This led to
a personal encounter last
August, when Baird was
knocked down. Since then Garrison
has threatened to kill Baird. DR..
Baird graduated in James G.. Blaine's
class at Washington and Jefferson
college.

LONDON. Oct 6.-Great Britain and
ireland were startled yesterday BY
the utterly unlooked-for announcement
that Charles Stewart Parnell. the noted
Irish leader. had died suddenly Tuesday
night At his home in Brighton. It had
been well known that Mr. Parnell had
not njoyed the best of health for years,
and it had been noticed and widely
commented upon that since the O'Shea
divorce developments became . mat
ter Of public notoriety. and since polit-
ical trouble came upon him. the great
Irish member Of parliament had grown
thinner and had perceptibly aged in
appearance. But nobody expected to
hear of his death, and no inkling Of his
illness had reached the newspapers
Mr. Parnell arrived at his home At
Brighton from Ireland Thursday and
complained Of suffering from chill.
On the Friday following he was unable
TO leave his bed and his regular ply
stefan was summoned.
This consultation of physicians was
resumed on Sunday, when Mr.. Parnell
was found to be in great pain and ap-
parently growing weaker every hour.

Oppo sing Its Country's Interests.

There is not an article of the produc-
ton and manufacture OF foreign coun-
tries on which the Mckinley tariff
would permit Secretary Blaine to re-
move or reduce the duty in exchange for
like favors in treaties of reciprocity.
All that he could do would be to make
the idle menace of restoring the duties
on coffee, tea, sugar and hides against
such countries as will not grant favors
in trade with the United States
delphia Record, August 90.
This is tip to foreigners that Sec
rotary Blaine is playing bluff game
in trying to get from them special favors
for American merchants do not be
alarmed by the Mckinley law" the
Record says to foreign nations. "Mr.
Blaine is only trying to brighten you
into giving us advantages over others in
your markets in return for those you
enjoy in ours. But do not mind him.
We will continue to buy all the goods
you bring us, and will charge you no
duty on them either, no matter how
high your tariff on our products may be.
The retaliatory provision of the Mckin-
ley law is dead letter. So do not let
this shrewd Yankee cajole you into
making any concessions to our mer-
chants"
This is the spirit of the mugmump's
opposition to reciprocity No one
doubts or attempts to deny that our
people would be immensely benefited if
only our products received special ia
vors in foreign markets. But the grant
ing of such favors is what the tariff
''reformer" is determined to forestall if
he can. The success of reciprocity
means the triumph of protection in the
next election. So the ''reformer" does
not hesitate to espouse the cause of the
foreigner against what he knows and
confesses to be the interests of his own
country.
The most diluted patriotism ought to
suggest at least silence on the part of
the American citizen while the recipro-
city negotiations are in progress. even
if he believed all the Record says to be
true. To enter the lists against the
representatives of his own country and
to furnish comfort and counsel to the
foreign diplomats, with view to de-
priving his fellow citizens of any favors
other nations may be disposed to grant
to them, is little short of reasonable.
We know that this course is taken with
desire to help the party of free trade
by rendering nugatory perhaps the
most important features of the McKin-
ley law. But to thus place party above
country and to fight the battle of aliens
is little calculated to win favor with
patriotic citizenA
