MILLS HOLDS HIS TONGUE.

After the Speakership Fight Is Settled He
Will Declare Himself = His Success
Means Slaughter of the Mckinley Bill
The Texan Hopeful.
Congressman Roger @. Mills, the Texas
tariff reformer, as he calls himself, and his
wife, were at the Union station last even
ing going to Washington. John Mcbride,
the Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, was on the same train.
Mr.. Mills said he was not talking about the
Speakership fight, as he bad no desire to
stir up the other candidates He will stay
in Washington until Congress opens, and is
preparing himself for the battle of his life.
81 have always been a worker" he said,
"and have much work to do this summer.
I want to study, for one thing, and second-
well, there is nothing like being on the
ground. Nobody can predict now who
will be elected. The situation is all chaos.
I see that some of the Republicans have
been saying nice things about me. They are
clever fellows, though they differ
from me, but 1 like them.
We often say very sharp things in debate,
don't think political opponents hold much
malice off the floor of the House, or on it,
for that matter am still tariff reformer,
and if am elected Speaker the Mckinley
bill will certainly be slaughtered. The tax
on tin plate, coal and iron will be
pulled down or knocked off, but with Re-
publican Senate and President the tin plate
duty is assured for some time. Why should
we not have reciprocity with England as
well as South America? They buy so times
more from us than the people below the
equator Trade is based on exchange, and
this principle should be recognized. Eng
land buys from us, why shouldn't we pur-
chase from the English?
''As for the new party, the life will be
thrashed out of it in short order. The Re-
pubicans are shrcwd people, and will daily
with it for awhile, but when it comes to
voting, Republicans and Democrats will
vote the party ticket. I have seen third
parties before. But, oh, what whimsical,
wanton blunder the Republicans made in
taking up the force bill. Why, the South
was reso1idifed for the next 20 years, the
very outcome which they were anxious to
prevent"
Mr.. Mills was asked if he still backed
Cleveland With wink of his off eye he re-
piled that he was candidate, and at present
was not expressing any preferences. After
the Speakership is decided he will declare
himself, but he predicted lively battle for
1892. He thinks the Democrats will hold
their own in the House.

WATCHING WITH sHoTGuNs.
Thieves Make the Hens Roost High in Rob-
inson Township.

inson Township.
Thieves have inaugurated reign of
terror in Robinson township that may end
in something serious if depredations are
continued much longer. Locks, bolts and
bars seem insufficient to restrain the
midnight marauders, and watch dogs are
poisoned if they attempt to exercise their
functions. These outrages have been going
on for years, but of late they are more fire.
quent and bold. The thievesd do not seem to be
after money so much as food, and cellars
and hen roosts are most frequently raided,
though several farmers have each lost from
% to 100 bushels of grain. Not long since
j. Brenn's hennery, near Ewing's mill, was
raided and the hens and their broods taken.
One hen, the foster mother of some 20
Pekin ducks, the latter about the size of
quail, were taken. Night before last the
thieves visited the farm of man named
Burns, near the Kansas school house, and
stole large number of tomato plants that
had been set out in field. Heretofore
orchards were robbed in the vicinity, but
last year the thieves got no revenue from
this source.
The last raid has reused the victims to the
necessity of some kind of action, and there
is talk of a combination being made to rid
the locality of some people who have no
visible means of support and who do but
little work. Some of the thieves are
known, but positive evidence so far cannot
be gotten against them aud it is thought if
some prowlers were peppered with shot
that they might subsequently, be traced and
apprehended.
