GOT HEAVY DAMAGES.
The Jury Gives w. w. Bishop a
Verdict for $4,000,


The jury in the case of William W,
Bishop against the st. Paul City Rail
way company yesterday gave Bishop
verdict for $4,000. Bishop was OH a
grip car that ran away on the Selby
avenue hill in 1888, and was so injured
that paralysis resulted. he was for
merly prominent business man, but has
been incapacitated by the injuries re-
ceived. He brought an action for S40,-
900 damages. and the cause has thus far
been ably contested. The verdict is
considered big one, and it is probable
that the case will go to the supreme
court. Judge Kelly granted stay of
twenty days to allow counsel to prepare
for arguing the motion for new trial.
The plaintiff is represented by M. d.
Mum and Harry Horn represents the
railroad company.

Prevention

Is better than cure, and people who are sub
ject to rheumatism can prevent attacks by
keeping the blood pure and free from the
acid which causes the disease. This suggests
the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla unquestiona-
bly, the best blood purifier, and which has
been used with great success for this very
purpose by many people.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has also cured innu-
merable cases of rheumatism OF the severest
sort, by its powerful effect in neutralizing
aeidity of the blood, and i'll enabling the kid
neys and liver to properly remove the waste
of the system.

CHANGED HIS TUNE.
Protectionists Now "Point With Pride" to
Cheap sugar.

Protectionists Now "Point With Pride" ia
Cheap sugar.
Last year the Mckinley stumpers and
newspapers declared that they 'de-
spised cheapness." They accepted the
presidents pet phrase that "a cheap
coat means a cheap man" They pro-
claimed that tax-sustained dearness
was necessary to the payment of high
wages to American workmen.
And the American people sat down
on them with the weight of over l, 600. :.
900 majority.
This year. with Mckinley himself at
their head, they have changed their
tune. They point to cheap sugar
made cheap by taking off the tariff tax
as their great achievement And
they parade a carefully selected list Of
other articles which they claim are
cheaper than formerly.
If taxes cheaper articles, why did
they stop at so per cent? Why not
make tariff Of 100 per cent. or higher?
Do they expect the American voter to
believe that, while untaxing sugar has
made it cheaper, taxing still higher
clothing food, fuel, glass; crockery and
other necessaries has likewise made
them cheaper?
The American voter is not such fool
as the McKinleyites take him to be-
If in any case of increased duty tie

then the law has failed of its purpose.

WORK-HOUSE SCENE.

Twenty-Five Female Prisoners Engage in a
Savage Battle--Two Later Scale the
Walls and Escape.
1t has just leaked out that free for
all fight occurred among the female
prisoners at the Claremont work-house,
Pittsburgh, Pa, Saturday night. Two
women in the knitting department had
quarrel, which resulted in an incip-
lent riot, friends of both women inter-
fering and taking opposite sides. For
about half an hour the twenty-five
infnriated prisoners fought each other
fercely, scratching one anothers eyes,
tearing each others clothes nearly off,
and pounding an adversary wherever an
opening occurred. The three matrons
in charge could do nothing with the
women, who acted like wild animals.
Half a dozen male officers of the prison
were finally summoned by matron,
who succeeded in escaping from the
Room, and the belligerants were placed
in dungeons. During the night two of
the worst prisoners, Maude Hutchinson
and Mamie White, escaped from their
cells, their doors being carelessly left
unlocked They sealed twenty-foot
wall to liberty, and have not yet been
apprehended

Protection in Canada.

In the decade 1871 to 1881, the popula-
ton of Canada increased "a, per cent
just before 1881, the Canadian parlia.
ment adopted protective tariff, and
during the ten gears ending 1891 the in,
crease in population was 1l5 per cent,
or less than half the rate OF increase
realized under the previous revenua
tariff. Wherein do these figures sup
port the pretense that protection" so
called, tends to develop a nation? Is
there any evidence in this retrogressive
experiment of the Canadians that high
er duties, with their attendant higher
prices and wages, help to attract settle
ment in new country? The result Of
this artificial interference with the nat.
ural drift of development has been an
alarming relative decadence, aud should
afford our neighbors food for reflection.
If Canadians desire further evidence
that protective duties tend to restrict
the growth of population in young
countries, they may find it in the recent
census returns of the Australias,
which also show that population grows
fastest in the colonies least protected. :

discovery in Indiana of Secret Cave
With an Underground Passage.
A portion of Porter county, Ind,
dreary, uninhabitable, a veritable waste
OF sand land, borders the shores of
Lake Michigan. For several years this
part OF the country has ben invested
with gang of horse thieves,
whose operations have extended to
the adjoining country, where
horses have been stolen in tho
night and hurried to these hills, where
concealment was easy and apprehen-
sion extremely difficult. Here man and
beast would remain in scclusion until
the authorities relaxed their efforts,
when the stolen property would
be taken to Chicago and sold.
Horses stolen in the cities have
been driven to this rendezvous,
and, though the hills have been
searched time and time again, the
adroitness of the thieves always pre-
vented capture. Monday a secret cave,
with an underground passage, was
sound In this groun as hills asa after
months Of vigilant search the rendez-
vous Of the thieves has been unearthed.
Over twenty horses have been stolen
and run into these hills during the past
three months.

bine was powerful enough to secure
the retention in the Mckinley tariff Of
prohibitory duty, thus giving It abso-
Lutte control of the home market.
At the meeting in Philadelphia plans
were discussed by which the combine
could be able to take advantage of any
future boom which may occur in rail-
road building as result of the enor-
nous cereal harvests of the present
year, just as it did in the years 1880 to
1858 and in 1886 and 1887.
In the three years preceding 1880
trade was poor and the increase in rail-
way mileage averaged only s,25s miles
per year. During these three years the
price OF steel rails averaged S4452 per
ton. In 1880 change took place and
boom set in which lasted three years
For these three years the new mileage
built averaged 1859 miles per year.
The combine forcclosed its tariff mort
gage and raised the price Of rails to
$50 04 per ton But in their eagerncss
to get from the railroads all that they
could they overstepped themselves and
in spite OF a tariff Of SIS per ton im-
portations averaged 175,495 tons per
year.
Again in 1888, 1884 and 1885 there was
falling off in railway construction.
the average increase in mileage being
only 1852 and the price of steel rails
fell to an average of s32 80 4 per ton.
In 1886 another boom in railway con-
struction began and continued through
the following year, the average num-
Der of miles built beiag 10, 1856. Again
the rail combine put up prices to an
average for the two years of S35 81. In
1883 there was decrease in railway
construction and prices went down
Now, however, all the Indications
point to another boom, as the following
from the Iron Age shows: "a discus
sion OF the situation with many thought
full and experienced members of the
iron trade leads to the conviction that
notable rise in the price in the leading
lines of iron and steel must be expected.
consideration of the condition of af-
fairs in the rail trade would point to
the conclusion that notable rise in
prices cannot we'll be expected during
the balance of this year, but the antici-
pations of requirements for 1892 may
lead to the beginning of a boom before
the year is closed"
To prepare for this boom the combine
held its meeting to prepare for another
foreclosure of its tariff mortpape max.
ing three in less than twelve years.

delivery at their door will add percept-
IDLY TO the money value of their farms,
and will be worth still more because it
will keep them in touch with markets
and the outside world and rob farm life
