THE Democrrlic party Is in good con-
diii0n The reforms which we're sought
hsvs been accomplished 50 far as the law
making power is able to accomplish
them Excellent candidates have been
put forward for the suffrage Of the
people, and there is nothing for the
people to do now but 20 TO the polls and
make the reforms effective BY
electing the candidates Of the
party which Is favorable to them.
These reforms are not Republican
measures; the Republicans opposed
them. They are not in sympathy with
them now There are no dlssensions in
the Democratic party and It would be
shameful if apathy would allow the
Republicans to gather the fruits Of
Democratic labor. They cannot do thai
fairly or legally II the Democrats will do
their duty.

"Tne Onice is NO Longer Independ.
ent, and I Am"
NEW York, July 30.-Collector Joel
B. Erhardt has rendered his resignation
as collector of the port of New York.
The collector refused ito give any
reason for his action. The resignation
will take effect on Aug. /, the date on
which the eighty or ninety employees
whose services have just been dis
pensed with will also go out.
Colonel Erhardt last night made the
following statement:
81 have resigned because the collector
has been reduced to a position where he
is no longer an independent officer, with
authority commensurate with his re-
sponsibility. l have given bonds for
100000. / have received for the gov
ernment during the twenty months last
past 1922, ,691 1856. 40, and / am all the
time personally responsible for enor-
nous values in money and in merchan-
disc. My duties are necessarily per-
formed through about 800 employees.
/ am not willing to continue to be re-
sponsible for their conduct unless I have
proper authority over them. The re-
cent policy of the treasury department
has been to control the details of the
customs administration of the port of
New York from Washington at the
dictation of private individual having
no official responsibility. The collector
is practically deprived of power and
control, while he is left subject to all
responsibility. The office is no longer
independent, and am, therefore we
have separated"
A dispatch from Cape May announces
that the president has accepted the res
ignation of Collector Erhardt, and has
appointed as his successor ex-senator j.
Sloat Fassett, of Elmira, N. Y.

To Suppress canadian Cinnamon"

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The secretary
of the treasury has written to Special
Agent Moore, at Ogdensburg, N. Y,
commencing his action in arresting three
Chinaman who came to the United
States from Canada, Notwithstanding
the fact that the United States commits,
sioner released the prisoners on the
ground that there was no sufficient proof
that they had ever resided in Canada.
The secretary directs the special agent
to continue making arrests in similar
circumstances, and throw the burden of
proof that they are residents Of Canada
on prisoners. This course, it is thought
at the department, will tend to suppress
smuggling Chinese across the border
from CnnAda.

Pardoned by the President.

CAPE MAY, N. s., July 3O.-President
Harrison has pardoned Captain George
j. Armes. U. S. A., under sentence of
court martial for conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman. The oifense
was committed during the inauguration
of President Harrison. Captain Armes
had some difficulty with the Pennsyl-
vania troops. He afterwards met Gov
ernor Beaver at his hotel and publicly
insulted him. Court martial sentenced
him to dismissal from the service. Presi
dent Harrison commuted the sentence
so far as to require Armes to confine
himself within an area of fifty miles OF
Washington.

DEADLY DUEL IN THE DARK
Two Coiored Farm Hands Engage ir.
q Bloody Battle with Razors.

Bloody Battle with Razors.
BROOKLYN, July 30.-Doud Bouco1
and Thomas Channel, colored farm
hands at Glenhead, L. L., fought due
with razors in their sleeping room in al
old fashioned farmhouse about mid
night. Channel was killed and Boucol
was desperately wounded, and just aliv,
when found in the morning. The TIVE
men occupied room about eight feel
square, and went to bed at the usual
time. Just exactly what happened no
body knows. Boucon's version of tn,
affair is that they quarreled before CO.
ing to bed. Subsequently he was awak.
ened to find Channel sitting on him, and
though it was dark in the room he could
see that Channel was brandishing u
razor.
He grappled with Channel and the
two fell on the floor, Boucon on top,
Both men fought like demons, each re.
ceiving terrible wounds. Boucon re-
members nothing after that except that
he regained his senses sufficiently te
crawl back into bed, where he wa,
found. Boucon has over thirty gashes
on his head and neck, one of them with
in an eighth of an inch of the jugulaI
vein. He also received cash q foot
long across the abdomen, nearly disem.
boweling him.
But Boucon's wounds are nothing
compared to Channels. The dead man
is mangled almost beyond recognition
from the top of his head to his waist.
Everything in the room was covered
with blood, streams of which ran
through the floor to the room below.
Boucon's wounds were dressed, and il
is thought there is chance of his re-
covery. The coroner's jury returned
verdict that Channel was killed in self
defense. Two razors, a big knife and a
club were found in the room where tn.
fight took place.

tanned that the schooner Marguerite,

liquor seized on her is small and the
barrels show signs of having come from
Illinois via Boston to ST. Pierre Ths
