Blains's Letter to Bacyrus.

THE New York Sun OF a recent dade
has leader on Mr.. Blsine's Buoyrus
letter, and says:
This document certainly affords no
evidence OF impairment In the irmness
OF grasp. precision Of touch, or clearness
of sight and statement which in the
past have distinguished Mr.. Blaine's
Intellectual operations. There is, in
deed, q refinement Of precise statement
In this letter which may not commend
1t to unqualified approval in all repub-
lican quarters. Mr.. Blaine writes to
remind Bucyrus and all Ohio that his
famous criticism of the original
Mckinley bill, namely, that it
did not open open market for
another bushel OF wheat or another
pound of pork, was uttered before the
reciprocity provision was attached to
that measure. This is the historical
truth. This concise, dignifed and ex-
ceedingly adroit manifesto OF self-asser-
tion Is not the production of broken
down invalid. 1t marks Mr.. Blaine's re-
entrance In person, and in his old form.
Democrats as well a. republicans, will
be glad that the silence of months is at
an end"
The Sun states the case well. II
does not look as il Mr.. Blaine has closed
his career, indeed he is to-day as he
has been for the past fifteen years the
foremost man on this continent.

TAKEN AFTER HOT FIGHTS.
Sensational Details OF the Arrest of th
Texas Train Robbers.

Sensational Details OF the Arrest of the
Texas Train Robbers.
DEL Rio, Tex, Oct. 27.-Full details
OF the pursuit and capture of the South
ern Pacific trail robbers have just
reached here.
The posse struck the train at place
near Juno Tuesday and pressed on in
hot pursuit They caught sight of the
robbers yesterday at 3 o'clock at dis
tance OF 300 yards in a deep canon on
the Live Oak, near Grierson Springs,
in Crockett county. They were pro-
ceeding ieisurely in the direction of the
Texas Pacific, which road they are
thought to haye again shad designs up-
on. The posse approached unseen to
within 100 yards of the men when the
bBck horse OF the robbers took fright
and made dash, which caused the men
to, look back and discover the pursuers
Captain Jones ordered charge and a
running fight followed. Langsdon soor
weakened and gave up and Tom Fields
soon afterward finding himself hard
pressed, surrendered. Wellington and
Flint ran several miles, when the form
er's horse WAS shot from under him.
Wellington left the animal and ran up
the side OF the mountain, but Captain
Jones was right upon him and cut of
his retreat, whereupon he surrendered.
Flint then ran at full speed q distance
of ten miles, firing back upon his pur-
suers as he went. The fire was re-
turned and he was mortally wounded,
being shot in his left breast. He fell
of his horse and sitting up in the road.
coolly produced a pencil and paper and
wrote will, bequeathing his effects to
his brother. He then pulled a pistol
from his breast and blew his brains out.
Sixty or seventy dollars in gold coin
was found in belt around Flints body.
Lapgsdon had about 5000 in greenbacks
in his vest pocket when seized. A sack
on the pack horse contained s400 in
Mexican silver. Flint's body was car
ried eight miles and was then buried.
The posse arrived at Comstock, this
county, yesterday with the prisoners.

The Kansas Alliance.

SALINA, Kan, October T.-At the
session of the Kansas farmers alliance
it was decided to become part Of the
National Union Company Of New York
by an overwhelming vote. A commit
tee was appointed toinvestigate and re-
conclusions adversely to the propo-
sition. This report was rejected by
the convention and the session was
largely given TO discussion Of the meas.
ure, and finally was disposed of as stated
above. The National Union has o cap
ital stock OF $40, ,00O, 900 and was organ
lied for the purpose of monopolizing
everything In sight. 1t is an outgrowth
OF the Oca'a convention, where the
scheme was sprung. Three months la.
ter a meeting OF capitalists was held in
New York City. the company formed
and $3. 600, 900 stock subscribed. Il is
proposed to consolidate the alliance ex-
change company Of this stste, doing q
business OF S5,000,000 yearly with the
National Union, and establishing CO.
operative store, with local manager,
where the alliance pledges its support.
Goods will be shipped by the National
Union for share OF tho profits. Kan
sas City will be the distributing point,
and all goods will be purchased direct
from the manufacturer.
The insurance feature of the scheme
was then taken up, also cooperative,
and agreed to. All OF the branches OF
insurance will be confirmed, and an In
surance commission will be elected by
the axeclltiye council
To-day marked the defeat of the con.
servative element of the alliance in the
election Of state president. Frank
McGrath, who has held the office oil
state president for the past year, is q
conservative. He does not believe in
the extreme ideas advanced by many OF
the alliance leaders. His faction was
out OF the race from the start. It was
early evident that McGrath himself
could not be elected, and his name was
soon withdrawn. An effort was then
made to elect one OF McGrath's adher.
ents, either w. 81. Utley or p. B. Max.
son, but they were both defeated, aud
w. FL. Biddle, who was the peoples
party candidate for state treasurer last
year, was elected.
Mrs. Fannie B. Vickery was chosen to
succeed herself as vice president. and J.
B. French was elected secretary.

INVITED TO EAT HUMAN FLESH


Shocking story Of Csnnibaiism in the
south Lea Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. October a.
One of the few men ever invited topaz
take OF human flesh at a oannibal feast
Is now in this city. He is Lieut.. B.
Linnemann. His horrible experience
was on the island OF New Britain. He
went to that hitherto explored island as
special agent of the German govern
ment. being empowered to go into the
interior TO settle the boundary disputes
between the New Guinea company and
island claim jumpers. For four years
Linnemann has been in the Papuau Is
lands and the South Seas. Linnemann
penetrated the interior Of the island for
100 miles, finally reaching q place
where natives had never before seen
white man. He felt no fear, as they re-
garded HIM as superior being and
never cook or eat human flesh. Men
and women 60 stark naked. Women
are sold for mere tribe, while homely
or old women can be bought for a plug
OF tobacco.
"When q man has bought a woman"
said Linneman. ''she is his absolutely,
and IL she violates her faith with him
she Is killed and eaten. They will not
kill and eat her at or near our trading
posts, for years ago we began inhicting
severe punishments on them for canni-
balism, but they will lure her away into
the woods and then cut her head off and
then cook her. We never hear OF such
women again. 1t is only for such thinge
that tribes will 80 dispose Of one OF its
members, but tribe preys upon tribe,
steals men and women away from each
other and eats them. The natives
never tell OF cannibal feasts, but when
l went into the interior the natives
were bolder, and on one occasion came
upon party OF natives who had cooked
the body of q young woman. The fires
were burning among the palms an d a
gloomy light was thrown out. The
dead body had been cut in pieces and
tne parts were cooked through and
through. 1t was fearful sight, and as
the natives stood about. each eating his
piece OF human flesh, thought no liv-
ing person had seen or could see more
horrible thing.
Zone OF the satages advanced with a
fleshy piece in his hand, and. as he
came closer, l saw it was the woman's
arm. He rendered it in manner
meant to be hospitaole, and in his ma
tive, language asked me to eat it. l
shrank back in horror, but neither the
native nor the throng of savage men.
women and children around me could
understand my horror. The body, af-
ter it had been cut into pieces. was
cooked with leaves of the tarro and be-
tel-nut tree. These gave the flesh q
spicy favor"

DON'T WANT FREE TRADE.

The ''reformer" cries. ''We don't
want free trade;" ''what we want Is a
tariff for revenue, and the expenses of
the government will still be maintained
by the duties on imports" Well, let
US see. Their leading apostle. Hon
Roger Q. Mills, himself the framer of q
tariff bill, and most promising candi-
date for speaker In the house of repre-
sentatives, has declared throughout
Ohio In favor OF absolute free trade.
In fsct, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the
leading organ In the state Of Ohio. re-
Gently printed q full-length portrait Of
this same apostle advocating free trade.
Moreover, the Enquirer itself no longer
ago than August 19 printed the follow
ing:
It Is q humiliating and disgraceful
confession, base slander, to say that
the American people need any laws to
protect them from competition with any
other nation. Nothing has made Eng
land what she Is but her free trade, her
unfettered commerce. Compare our re-
sources and advantages with hers, and
imagine what our position would be
among the nations II unhampered by
the letters of protection.
Moreover, one Of Ohio's most promi-
nent congressman has said that he
would abolish every custom house In
the land; and that he would rather vote
for the establishment Of an institution
TO spread the cancer, or field to prop
agate cholera, or school In which to
teach vice and crime, than to vote for q
protective tariff Of any kind. But 1t is
not secesssry for US to produce further
testimony to show that "tariff reform"
means free trade, or that the free trade
party are asking for "tariff reform" or
tarif-for-revenue-only for any other pur-
pose than an entering wedge for abso-
lutte free trade.

Kx-CoNGREssMAN PHILLIPS, who is
sktorpey for the Cherokee Indians says
that it viii be year at the leat, and
most likely two years, Ibefore the Cher
ekee strip can be opened for settlement
This of course is based upon the theory
sAst the Cherokees own the land. There
are however, many who believe that it
vss only granted to the Cherokees TO
use esan outlet. and when abandoned
for that purpose 1t reverts to the gov
ernment, so that the Cherokees have
70 right whatever to the soil. If the
htter theory is correct the land may be
epened In less than q year.
