sullivan's Nefarious Business.

Portland Telegram,
The high handed outrage perpetratsd in Seat
tie Thursday is only fitting episode in the
nefarious business In which Sullivan has been
long engaged. A legitimate detective agency
may be a useful and necessary institution in a
large town, but in recent years they have bean
made the instruments OF the most grieyous ont
RACES, both in the Eastern states and in the
Northwest. They have made business OF hir
ing themselves out TO rich and tyrannical cor
poratons, their business being TO overaWe bull
doze, Cypress and murder workingmen who
were striving to obtain their rights. Repeatedly.
Is for example in Albany, n. Y, and later in
Pennsylvania, these gangs OF imported assassius
have shot TO death innocent and inoffensive
men and even women, and turned widows and
orphans out OF their sQualid homes to die of
hunger snd cold at the beheSt of some CORPORA
ton nabob. and when the local police power
was amply able 10 preserve the peace and
protect property. The performances OF the
gang of so-called detectives this summer at
Franklin and Black Diamond was, or was in.
tended 20 be, II occasion required, of this same
character. There is no language adequate To
express the contempt and condemnation that
decent and humane men feel for this sort of
business Il must be readily believed that
man who would engage in it would do anything
that is brutal or criminal for pay. Now this
fellow sullivan, apparently mag ming that for
him and his gang there is no law kidnap two
respectable and prominent citizens OF Seattle,
get them into carriage, there assault, maltreat
and threaten to Kill them, and drive of to a
railroad station with intent TO take them 20 Ia
coma, in another county. Only the lateness of
train and q large rescuing party prevented the
kidnaper from keeping them in custody hours
longer, and possibly subjeeting them to further
lndignities. sullivan aud men like him have
too long made law unto themselves, and IN
der their self-made law and the orders of cor
porations, have committed iutolerable outrages.
II IS tine, alter such an episode as this. for the
law 10 assume its proper supremacy and deal
with him as be deserves. If alleged detective.

are themselves TO violate laws at win, the sooner
sulliyans agency and all Others Ike il is broken

Aepe Up
for years-the offer that's made by
the proprietors of DIR. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. It's addressed to
you, if you have Catarrh. It's a
reward of $500, if they can't cure
you, no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing-an offer
that's made in good faith by re-
sponsible men.
Think what it means! Absolute
confidence in their Remedy, or they
couldn't afford to take the risk. A
long record of perfect and perma-
nent cures of the worst cases-or
they couldn't have faith in it. 1t
means no more catarrh or $500.
If you fail to be cured, you won't
fail to be paid.
But perhaps you won't believe it.
Then there's another reason for try
ing it. Show that you can't be
cured, and you'll get $500. It's a
plain business offer. The makers
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will
pay you that amount if they can't
cure you. They know that they
can-you think that they can't. IF
they're wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid of catarrh.

The California Doodle Litigation.

SAN Francisco, July 23.-In the Taylor case
this morning, Attorney Clunie asked for
weeks postponement, in order 10 give him time
to look up Richard Chute and Henry Wanger-
helm, who were wanted as witnesses, but could
not be found. Stephen T. Gage, who had been
summoned, was also not present, and mis- coun-
sci said he had advised Gage TO pay no attention
to the subpoena, as it had not been properly
served. The court thereupon stated that the
warrant would hold good. Attorney Clunie said
he also desired to have the state librarian and
his assistant in attendance, rs he wished to
show by them that the finance committee of the
combine met in the state library every day. At
torney Campbell objected TO a continuance. and
the court finally adjourned until O'Clock 10
enable plaintiff, if possible, to bring the wit
nesses into court. On reassembling this after
noon, Charles b. Haven, insurance agent and
treasurer of the Pacific Insurance Union, was
called to the stand. He testified that he did not
know of any money being raised
by foreign insurance companies TO influence
legislation. His company paid Il regular assess
ment, as did other companies, toward the
penses OF the union. As treasurer of the union
he had paid the expenses OF attorney who
was in Sacramento during the legislature, but
had paid out no money 10 influence legislation
in favor of the union. Robert Dickson, general
manager of an insurance company, and a mem
Der of the insurance union, was next 20 testify.
He also denied all knowledge of a corruption
fund This comprised all the witnesses in court,
aud after an objection was sustained TO Attorney
Cluuie's request that the books of the insurance
union be brought into court, the latter pressed
his motion for continuance for one week in
order TO hunt up missing witnesses. Taylor was
recalled and questioned regarding his connec-
ton with the California Construction Company
and after some other questions had been
answered, the discussion went over and the case
was continued until Monday.

PARIS, July 23.-Horrible scenes have
been witnessed the past week on and about
the Place de la Roquette, where criminals
are executed by the guillotiue. Crowds of
the lowest of the low have assembled there
every evening and passed the night in the
vicinity, eagerly waiting to witness the
execution of murderer Berland and his ac-
complice, Dore. On Saturday morning a
large crowd gathered about the place in
expectation of seeing the execution, which
was postponed on account of the marriage
OF Executioner Deibleis' son. Since that
time the vicious and their consorts, as
well as certain number of people of the
better class, have gathered each morning
about the prison and the execution place,
singing, shouting fighting and using pro-
fame language.
This morning the crowds were more
riotous and otherwise offensive than
usual, consequently the police were COM
PEELED to charge the grounds, making
many arrests and somewhat clearing the
air OF the neighborhood. The gargottes,
cafes and other public resorts in the neigh
borhood have throughout the week been
doing booming business as a result of
this bloodthirsty expectancy, and when
the police had cleared the streets the Off
GERS had another and quite as lively task
IN clearing out the most disorderly of
these drinking places. Here again many
arrests were made, and hideous, drunken
men and women, yelling and fighting,
were escorted to the police station, soiling
thevery air through which they passed by
the horrible language with which they
profaned it.

THE TACOMA POsTOFFICE.
Congressman Wilson Said the Postm aste
Lacked Executive ABILITY

TACOMA, July 23.-tspecial. Before complet-
ing their inspection of the management of the
Tacoma postoffice, Chief Coast Inspector Seybolt
and Inspector Munroe visited a number OF the
leading merchants and made inquiry regarding
Postmaster Hogue's management OF the Office
They did not learn much that was not of credit
TO the postmaster, but they refused to talk about
their opinions and conclusions. They found the
money order and registered letter DEPARTMENTS
in good shape. The habit of citizens and adver-
tisers in using imperfect and back-number
directories has caused much trouble in the de-
livery OF mail.
Congressman Wilson was here this morning
en- route for Olympia. He says he is reported as
saying that Postmaster Hogue has great
executive ability, when he really did saw that he
believed him to lack executive ability. He con-
suited with Inspector Seybolt here and then
telegraphed to Washington recommending an
additional appropriation OF 5000 for the Taco
ma postoffiee, thus bringing the total appropria-
ton up to sl5,500. He knows of no reason whv
there should be a change in the postmastership,
but believes some changes will be made in the
interior Of the office.

IL IS stated here that the Chilean cruiser

french subjects. Commander Balmaceda, of
the war vessel, said he was trying to engage
Italians to replace the Frenchmen who were
sent ashore.

OF the narrow escape from capture of the tor

quimbo, as word had been received by Balma-

much as possible, and draw them off the coast.

SAN FRANCISCO July 23.-Miguel Tejada who
has acquired celebrity as the commander of the
Itata, arrived here from San Diego yesterday,
accompanied by c. Guzman, prominent mem
Der of the insurgent party. The statement that
the Itata will be released upon bond of SEC. 900
being fled is somewhat premature. The appli
cation for her release has not yet been
made, though some such action will
probably be taken in the immediate
future. Matters would have been arranged
before now but for the fact that some
doubt exists as to the legality of the acceptance
by Judge Ross of the bonds. and his ordering
the vessels release while acting outside of his
own district. When Page & Eels, attorneys for
the congressional party in this city, make their
application. aud the bonds are fixed, the
amount will be forthcoming, as men of stand

made, after which she will return to San Diego

archist Efforts to Be Discouraged.
ROME July 23-In connection with the recep-
tion accorded on Monday to Mgr. Ferrati, the
new papal nuncio at Paris, by President Carnot,
and the nuncio's announcement that he hoped
to draw closer the ties existing between the Vat
lean and France, 1t is learned that prior to his
departure from Rome Ferrati had long confer
ence with the pope and Cardinals Rampolla and
Rotelli. AS a result of these conferences he
must have mapped out line of conduct for ap-
plication in France of the republican policy of
Cardinal Lavigerie. The Vatican is absolutely
decided, in spite OF the threats and persuasions
of the monarchists, to continue the policy of
adhesion to the republic, In order to
restore France to union and to
religious and political pacihcation. The re-
moval of the triple alliance only gives strength
to this evolution, which will mark new de-
parture in the international policy of the Holy
See. The programme of Ferrau will consist:
First in applying this principle to the con-
stitutional right, the party of NJ. Ribot in the
chamber of deputies; second, in prevailing up
on the bishops and clergy to make solemn act
OF adhesion, and thirdly, to constitute vast
Catholic union in the country outside of the
old dynasty parties. The Vatican wishes above
all that the monarchial parties should not med
die in the movement.

Gigantic scheme to Raise the Price or
Workingmen's Bread.
ST. PAUL, July 23-St Paul has been selected
as the headquarters for tho national movement
by the United Farmers Alliance to corner tho
entire wheat crop of the country. At No. 3l7
Wabash street, for several days, large force OF
employees has been engaged in sending out cir
culars with view to having all classes of farm
ers keep back their wheat crop until prices have
been advanced to high point. The plan is TO
write to farmers about the formation of gi-
gantic wheat trust in which the producers shall
be stockholders and by which the speculators
and wheat buyers win be squeezed to the wall.
George NJ. Muller. editor of the State, and q
prominent Alliance man, is at the head of the
movement.
The weat crop OF the United States of 1891 Is
estimated at 600 bushels. The promoters
OF the farmers trust believe that four-ifths OF
this can be held back by the farmers from four
to eight weeks, by which time, it is thought,
prices viii have gone skyward. Circulars have
already been sent to the secretaries of alliances
in all wheat-growing states.

ance, and manager of the reform press bureau.
says the work of sending out circulars designed
TO show the farmers Of the country that IL is to
their advantage to hold back the wheat crop was
actively proceeding in this city, well in ST.
Paul. Aver says that already 100000 of these
nave Oeeu sent Out sEOIu ton
City, and during the next few days average
Of 100000 day viii be mailed until more than
million circulars altogether are issued. The
circular will also be published in about 1900
weekly papers with which the bureau Ia con-
nected. The information that the issuance Of
such a circular by the Alliance men was in con-
temptation became public prematurely about
two weeks ago, when the circular was in course
of preparation and the fact was published in
the newspapers. The final decision to issue the
circular had not at that time been reached, but
it has since been determined upon.
