MKLNLEY.

Major Mckinley predicts that the sub
stance of the new tariff law will stand
unrepealed for the next ten years at least,
and the indications increase to corrobor-
ote this.-St. Joseph Herald.
The coke workers of Pennsylvania who
were assured by the McKineyites that
wages would soon be higher are now
kept at the point of the militia bayonet
because they demanded that the bosses
fulfill ther promises.-Omaha World
Herald.
Mr.. Mckinley modestly remarks that
his tariff speaks for itself" 1t does, in
deed, speak for itself, with mute elo-
quence, every time new reduction of
wages is made and every time a work
ingwoman goes to the store with her
scantv earnings,-Dubuque Herald.
The report that comes from Washing
ton today about Major Mckinley be-
longs to the class of rumors that are al.
ways flying about in the mid-term ofany
administration. 1t is not likely that
Major Mckinley has decided as yet to
announce himself as presidential candi
date in case he gets elected governor o
Ohio. He is too sensible man to issu,
any pronunciamento Of the sort.-Nev
York Mail and Express.

A TREAT TONIGHT.
Principals of Emma Abbott's Old
Company at the Grand.

The Columbia, S. c., State in three
quarters column notice of the concert
given by the principals Of the Emma Alb
bott opera company has this to say:
Not since Emma Abbotts visit here
have lovers OF good music had an even
ing so traught with pleasure as was the
entire entertainment last night. There
could be but one opinion-that it was
perfect as measured by the highest stand
ards-that it was lacking only in the one
particulLr-the audience wanted more of
it and was only too sorry when the cur
tain was rung down on the last act.
"The quartette is one of the most fa-
nous now travelling. The solos were all
especially sweet. "The last rose of sum
mer," was rendered by Miss Eva Cum
mings in style which combined deep
feeling, admirable execution, and perfect
command of voice. Signor Michelena
has tenor which is scarcely surpassed
in swectness-in the pathos of music
which is apprcciable in the human voice
only. A soft basso, vet tuneful, sonorous
and in fact powerful, is rarely noted in
higher perfection than in William Brod-
crick. Nine Broderick is an artist of high
order. Her natural gifts are exceptional,
and she has evidently appreciated them
to that extent which induces arduous
culture"
These artists appear at the Grand to.
night and tomorrow night The pro,
gram tonight will consist of the quar-.
tctte act of Martha, grand opera selec
tions and the fourth act of al Trova
tore"

A REPLY TO CHIEF SMITH.
There IL Antag gOnism-EducatiO
al Work Among the CherOkees.

EDITOR THE CITHEN:-My attention
has been called to letter of Chief N. ].
Smith. relative to his "Antagonism to
H. W. Spray"
Many things a person ought and
must ignore, but the publicity sought by
the chief compels me to ask OF you space
to say that the reasons named for IAN.
tagonism" are without foundation, are
absolutely and unqualifedly false. There
is an antagonism, but the cause and
motive is unmentioned.
In the autumn of 1883 Rev. T. c.
Brown, under the auspices of the Society
of Friends, took a contract from the
commissioner ofIndian affairs for the care
support, education and training of twen-
ty Indian girls, and for nine months con-
Quoted the school. In July 1884 Sue
cecded him. In conversation he
spoke freely of the difficulties
he had met and of the factions
then existing among the Chero-
KEGS. In 1884 twenty boys were allowed
i'll the school; in ] S85 new building and
training shop was erected. In 1887 the
number was increased to eighty pupils,
and since there has been an attendance of
from eighty to ninety pupils. All the
children have been taken for whom ac-
commodations could be furnished, al
though not as many as wished to attend.
Twice by government officials, once by
an agent of the Indian Rights association
and frequently by church officials has the
school been thoroughly inspected. All
commend it's work and methods.
Rev. Daniel Dorchester superintendent
of Indian schools, recently spent three
weeks in the school. To none of these
officials did Chief Smith make any proof
Of any lack, failure or wrong in my ad-
mnistration Of he educational interests
of the Indians. The superintendent gave
him ample opportunity to make and
prove any allegations he wished. The
superintendent has authority to dismiss
for cause employees in the school service.
The educational work among the cas-
tern Cherokees is not all desire nor all
hope to make it. Visitors who wish to
examine the work are welcome, and
try to profit by honest criticism, but
much deprecate that hich begets strife
and 1T will. Respectfully.

II was a Scheme to Get a Pile of
Money Out of a Rich New York.
er's Estate.
New YORK. April 6.-lnspector Byrnes
declares today that he arrested five con-
spirators, who are charged with having
plotted to gain possession of the great
estate left by the millionaire leather mer-
chant, Loring A. Robertson. The
method said to have been employed
by the alleged conspirators, was to
foist a fraudulent widow upon the
estate in the person of Cassie Helen
Brooks. The prisoners are the Brooks
woman, Lawyer Byron W. Cohn, James
Daskam, speculator, of Hartford,
Conn; Edward l.. Studwell and Mrs.
West. Cohn, Daskam, and Studwell
were charged with subornating, while
Cassie Brooks was charged with perjury.
Daskam is said to have had talk with
Studwel about finding a woman to
personate the widow of wealthy
man who had recently died. Stud
well, it is said, agreed, and produced
Mrs. West. The two, SO the story runs,
took her to lawyer COINS Office, but de-
cided she was two old S!udwell then
learned Robertson was the dead million
aire, another Stamford man furnished
Brooks woman, she was taken to
COINS Office, and was it is declared,
found by the lawyer to be suitable.
Cohn instructed Cassie Brooks, so it
is said, how to act her part as Helen
Robertson. The lawyer is said to have
told her of many of Robertsons peculiar
tiles, such as abnormal inquisitiveness.
He said the heirs would gladly compro-
mise the case. She was to claim COM
mon law marriage. A week ago Satur-
day Cassie Brooks became frightened
and told her story to the attorney for
the heirs,

INSANE KING OTTO.
Peasants Kept Under Pay to be Shot at for
Amusement.

LONDON, January 25.-The proposed
deposition OF the insane king, Otto, OF
Bavaria, in favor of his uncle and heir,
the regent Lutpold, meets with gen
.eral approval in Germany. otto is
nearly maniac. His favorite amuse-
ment is to stand at window of his cas-
tie prison, under watch OF an attendant
and shoot at peasants. not pleas

SuppoSeS TO be loaded with
ball, but which, OF course, is not. Peas
ants are kept under regular pay to be
shot at. They come within gun shot,

fall, pretending to be killed. This muir
derouS madman is addressed as "Your
Majesty" and has attendants and visit
ors kOwtow to him in the most submls-
sive manner: Luitpold, his uncle, has
proved himself a statesman OF capacity.
Whatever truth there may be in the
reported attachment Of the late Prince
BoudOuin, OF Belgium, for governess,
il Is certain that ever since he learned.
some days ago, that he was the destined
husband OF his cousin, the Princess Glenn
entinc, his ailments which had hardly
attracted attention before. were greatly
aggravated, and he seemed rather To
welcome approaching death. The pop
ular belief that his disease was one OF
the heart, finds corroboration in this.
II the Prince had been permitted
to follow his own inclinatOns
and marry plebean, he
would have been more than ever pop
ular idol, and Belgian royalty, like roy
atty generally, is badly in need OF a
popular idol at this time. But suicides,
sudden deaths and insanity appear to
be no dcterrents in the way Of the
bourbon idea that royalty shal! match
only with members OF royal houses.
