THE following from the st. Louis
Republic is very instructive: 1--WE
have reached the critical time
in the Tariff fight that time
Just before a victory, when some
grow weary Of the battle, some grow
laggard from hopelessness, and
some from fickleness. To falter
now is to throw away the advant-
ages gained m the most inspiring
fight in American politics: While
the Tariff has entered largely into
every campaign for the past ten
years, it was never made the great
single issue until the Presidential
campaign of 1883. In that contest
we failed, but failed by 50 small a
margin, and from causes so clearly
seen, that no encouragement came
with defeat. The defeat was the
sure forerunner of the great victo-
ny Of 1890, and of assured success
in 1892, if we are true to principle.
We lost, not by a verdict of the
people on the merits of the issue,
but through the notorious and con-
fessed purchase of votes in two
doubtful States. We were not out
voted by the friends Of protection
at the polls; we were 'Wanamaker-
ed by the Doodle of the monopol-
lists. The privilege of taxing the
people was sold for contributions
to the Republican campaign fund.
For their thousands given to that
fund, the donors were repaid by
the privilege of exacting millions
from the people, through the Nc
Kinley bill. If we submit to that
bill, these exactions become a per-
manent and degrading tribute of
the taxpayers to the monopolists.

The cause of the real grievance
of the farming interest in this
country is that for the last thirty
years it has been bled for the nur-
ture of the manufacturing interest,
and yet nota word do we hear from
the advocates of the Peoples Par
ty nor do they say anything in
their platform of this malignant
sectional policy which has produc-
ed this agricultural depression.
But they can flavor a judicious

that Union soldiers be paid enough
to bring their compensation up to
a gold value, a measure that would
cost the Government of this coun-
try about S1,000,000,000, not to
mention the S200,0O0,0O0 a yeal

If the farmers of the Northwest
can afford this increase in taxation
they certainly have no cause fol
complaint.

SHOOTING AT NAMPA.
4 Race War Results in the Fatal
WOuni.ing Of Chinaman.

The Interstate hotel at Nampa
was the scene of shooting ARRAY
Thursday forenoon which will
likely result in the death of one OF
the celestials employed in the
kitchen of the hotel. Nothing
definite can be learned of the
causes that led up to the shooting,
only that there has been a bad
feeling between the white and
Chinese help employed about the
hotel. The facts in the case ap.
pear to be that about II o'clock,
as Melt. Graham, a young man
who does chores about the premises,
was passing from one room to
another. he was fired upon by
Chinaman through the opening of
an almost closed door. Graham
Immediately returned the fire,
shooting through the door, the ball
taking effect in the Chinaman's
abdomen. This ended hostilities
as the Chinaman was not Gin it"
for another round. Medical aid
was at once secured for the injured
Chinaman, but his case was pro-
nounced hopeless. In the mean
time the other Chinese cook seized
with an appetite for mclean"
mans blood, rushed down to the
China wash house, armed himself
with two six-shooters and started
back to the hotel, but was arrested,
disarmed and jailed by Sheriff
Taylor before he could get in his
work.

HORRORS OF WAR.
The Bloody Revolution in Chilli Still Unabato,

PANAMA, Via New York;, April
13.-Mail advices from africa state
that many refugees are coming
from Iquique. A correspondent
there writes that vagabonds are
robbing, plundering, numbering,
violating women and committing all
classes of atrocities, while incen-
daries are also engaged in distruc-
ton and pillage. The government
of Chilli is reported to be engaged
in establishing an army of 10000
strong at Tarapaca. The distress
along the south coast due to the
revolution is appalling. A cores
pendent at Lima writes that 400
refugees who arrived on the last
steamer were so destitute that they
had to remain on the wharf. The
commandant at Iquique was SELL
ing flour at 20 cents per pound.
The fighting between the govern
ment forces and the rebels near
Iquique resulted in victory for
the latter. About 700 men in all
were killed. A Lima paper pub
lfshed a message from Iquique
received by the English minister,
saying the triumph of the rebels on
the 7th Of March was decisive and
Balmaceda's troops were knocked
to pieces. Hundreds of people
have abandoned the nitrate works
and accompanied by their families,
trudged across the desert to Iqui-
que. The scene is of a nature
which hardly finds an equal in the
history of war. Many died on the
desert, and their bones marked
for many a day the roads to
the now abandoned nitrate fac
tories. The CHILEAN ministers to
and France have been
declared traitors by President
Balmaceda. ..
