nANAnA.s FLANK mOYEMENT.

The lumber business of the United
States is destined to be badly mixed up
in little while and all owing to the
Mckinley tariff.
A dispatch from Ottawa reports that
the Canadian government is about to
reimpose the duty on export logs.
That in itself alone would be an impedi-
ment to the lumber business Of the
United States; but the matter does not
end there. BY the terms Of the Nc
Kinley tariff, whatever export duty the
Canadian government imposes on logs,
q corresponding tariff tax, without any
further action by Congress, must at
once be imposed by the authorities Of
the United States on lumber imported
from Canada. II the Canadians lay an
export duty Of one dollar en- logs, then
our own tax on lumber is raised to one
dollar; il the Canadian duty is two dol
lars, up goes our lumber tax two dollars.
II would look from this that the blum
dering Billion Dollar Congress commit
ted the objectionable offense Of putting
A. -Lcla regulation Of the lumber
tariff Of the United States into the
hands Of the privy council at Ottawa.
OF course Congress did this evil thlng
inadvertently, but that IS no excuse for
the lawmakers. Carelessness that de-
strovs and kills is criminal. In this
case it might have been averted II
there had not been a mad overwhelming
desire to compensate the fat fried
tariff barons for their campaign con-
tributlons. No regard for or thought
OF consequences animated the ma
iority. The increase Of lumber taxes
will increase the price Of lumber, which
in turn will restrict its use in all
branches Of building and other indus
tries. This in turn effects invested
capital injuriously and curtails the en-
ployment Of the mechanic in the kind
red trades.
The REGISTER knows that Major
MCKINLEY is up to his ears in HIS can
vass across the river, nevertheless it
would pay him to run over the border to
Ottawa and beseech the queens priVy
council to postpone until after the cleo
ton this export duty. Such club in
the hands of the enemy before election
would do him incalculable harm.

MAY BE MURDER.
A SOUTH SIDE NAN IS BADLY CUT WITH A
KNIIB
A Quarrel Starts in q Saloon, and is Confined
on the Road Bone = Frank Schroeder
Badly Used Up.

About hali-past eleven o'clock Thurs
day night a cutting ARRAY took place on
Market street, near Twenty-third, which
may have fatal termination.
Owing to an effort on the part or those
concerned to keep the matter quiet, IL
was difficult to obtain the particulars.
1t appears that Frank Schroeder and
Edward Ebbert got into quarrel DUR
ing the evening in Capped & Weisgero-
er's saloon, on Market street, and came
to blows. Gilbert started toward home,
Schroeder following shortly after. When
near Twenty-third street the men again
got into a fight. The stories told by the
the two men are widely different. as 10
who was the aggressor. Schroeder states
that he was stopped by several men who
started to quarrel with him, and during
the fight which followed he was cut
with the knife In the hands OF Ebbert.
On the other hand Ebbert states that
he was met by Schroeder, who renewed
the quarrel and struck him. He pulled
out the knife and used it to defend him.
self.
At any rate Schroeder was cut up in
horrible manner. He keeps a grocery
on Twenty-third street, and resides at
2422 Market street. In bis left leg was
an ugly cash six inches in length.
Another dangerous wound was in the
vicinity of his heart. Besides these
wounds there were six or seven others
upon different parts of his body and
left arm. The wounds bled profusely,
and left distinct trail Of blood from
the scene of the assault &c. his home.
When the extent Of his injuries was
made known to his family, DR.. G.
Ackermann was summoned. He sewed
his wounds up and did all that was pos
sible to alleviate his suffering.
Yesterday afternoon Officer Trischler
arrested Edward Gilbert on warrant
charging him with the assault. He was
taken BEFORE Squire Ankle, and after
ward released on $1,000 bail for his ap-
pearance and hearing. Later in the
afternoon, Officer Wilkie met DR.. Ack-
ermann upon the street and was told
that the wounded man was lying in
dangerous condition. Squire Arkle was
apprised of the situation, and he direct
ed the officer to re-arrest Gilbert. He
was taken at his home on the South
Side and confined in jail to await de-
velopments. Last night Schroeder was
lying in precarious condition.

LET ALL GOOD CITIZENS TOE TIKI
SCRATCH.

To-day determines whether or not the
interest on the bridge loan shall be raised
from A. to 6 per cent. The bonds could
not be foated at the old rate, hence
the necessity Of getting permission from
the people to make the new rate.
The voters Of the city have an impera-
tive duty to perform in this matter. To
neglect it might do irreparable damage
to the cause Of public Improvement
Further, it might be the means of sus-
pending travel the entire winter across
the creek at Main street. For 1t is well
known that the present temporary
structure is liable to give way at any
day.
This appeal is made to all citizens,
whether they were for or against the
stone bridge at the outset. The REGIS
TER has no complaint 10 make against
the voters who expressed themselves

their privilege and they expressed it.
They were defeated and the stone
bridge is partially built, probably the
larger half OF the work is done, surely
the more difficult half. The thing is to
complete the remainder as soon as pos
sible and not hamper the city or the
work in useless opposition. This is the
plain duty Of every good citizen. The
same duty would have to be performed
if the situation had been reversed and
an iron bridge was in course Of
erection. Certainly it would have been
the REeIsTER's cheerful duty to advo-
cate it Just as earnestly as it does now.

UNITED STATES sENATORsHIP.

Judge LUCAS has written letter to
the Chsrlestown Advocate denying that
he has authorized anyone to say that he
IS a candidate for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator FAULKER.
In very forcible and characteristic
language he sets at rest all cavil about
his position In that connection. His
letter reads as follows:
RIoN HALL, Sept. 14th, 1891.
My DEAR MoRRow:-I thank you for
calling my attention to certain para
graphs in your exchanges regarding
myself, which seem to have been inspir-
ed by some common and preconcerted
counsel.
The fact that 1 was absent from the
country when the first publication con-
corning my intentions was ''authorltlve-
ly" made, is a sufficient answer to the
charge that I have authorized any one
to speak for me.
In further refutation Of such charge
I would say that since have assumed
the duties Of the high trust conferred
upon me by my fellow citizens, L nave
with scrupulous, almost sacred, care re-
Trained from taking any part IN polltl-
cal discussions or party ORGANIZATIONS.
I shall continue to pursue this course
even unto the end, and after serving
providence permitting the full term
for which l was elected, 1 will endeavor
to return to my constituents the judicial
ermine as white and spotless as when l
first received it from the shoulders OF
my lamented predecessor, the late Judge
Green. Very truly yours,
DANL. B. LUCAS.
