M'NEIL KNOCKED OUT.
Second Chapter of His Domestic
Troubles.
BEATEN YHIs coLoRED PORTER
A Pair Of Black Fists and Brass
Knucklers Play Havoc-Serious
Sequel Of Spree.

The troubles Of John Mcneil. proprietor of the
Golden state hotel, and his wife, do not appear
TO come singly. Following closely upon the ar
rest of the couple for fighting on Friday night
and MrB. NcNeiTs attempted suicide, came
battle between Mcneil and his eoIored porter,
Charles Reynolds, in which the latter beat his
employer into q state of insensibiiity and cut q
deep cash in his head Mcneil is now confined
to his bed, and for time it was thought that he
would not recover
On Saturday night, though she had recovered
from the effects Of the ten grains OF morphine
which she had taken, Mrs. Mcneil WIS confined
to her room To celebrate the event of her re-
cOyery Mcneil got boiling drunk-so drunk he
could lot attend to his business, and bis eolored
porter assumed charge OF the house. assigning
guests to their rooms and collecting the money
therefor.
Yesterday when Mcneil had sufficiently
sobered up TO walk about and feel disagreeabie,
he accused the porter of not turning in all the
money due the house, and declared that he was
"hoiding OUT a certain sura. Reynolds re-
scented the reflection on his honesty and a hot
dispute followed, then blows came. Mcneil
was knocked halfway down the stairs. The
porter went down after him, pulled him back
up the stairs and continued to beat him.
Mcneil yelled out in fright and his cries
reached his wife, who came TO his assistance.
She sailed into the colored man and, though her
husband once said she could knock out John L.
Sullivan, she was no match for the porter, who
continued to sweep the Office with her husband,
and she also came in. for a few blows from the
two black, brawny fists.
Then, wishing to leave his mark, Reynolds
pulled pair of brass KNOCKERS from his pock-
ct, jerked Mcneil TO his feet and immediately
felIed him to the floor with terrific blow over
the right eye. The weapon cut the flesh to the
bone, infiicting wound that extended through
the eyebrow to the forehead. The blood flowed
freely, and it was thought Mcneil was killed
During the excitement which followed Rey-
nolds fed. no one attempting to detain him.
Dr.. n. e. jacobson was called and dressed the
wounded mans head.
1t is very probable that the charge of fighting
against Mcneil and his wife, which was to have
been heard In the municipal court today, will
again have to be continued, the parties not be-
ing in condition to appear in court.

right in the way. There was also hydrant to

SOME months ago the Milwaukee
Journal while in a Democratic twad-
die mood made the assertion that
this country was indebted to the
Democratic party for the common
school system. The idea was not
original with the Journal as Mr.. Mills,
the Texan envoy to Wisconsin last
fall made thesilly claim in the speech
that he delivered throughout the
state.
The Whitewater Register kept no.
tice standing for weeks Units editorial
columns asking The Journal to
name the time and place when the
Democratic party started the free
schools of this country. But The
Journal did not, as of course it could
not, answer the question put to it
by The Register, and if a little slang

Something About Sugar.

hebSO ySdI WHoA Wv. DOlSS WttS
stumping Iowa, he carried with him
| a bottle of the darkest and worst
looking sample of raw sugar that he
| could obtain. In the course OF his
speeches he would exhibit this bottle,
| and tell his audience that such was
| the sugar that the Republicans pro
posed should be eaten by the com
mon people. They had put that
kind of sugar on the free list but inn
posed duty on refined sugars for the
benefit of the sugar trust.
Since that time the people of Iowa
have had an opportunity to learn by
actual experience the effect of Repub-
lican legislation upon the price of this
important article, which enters SO
universally into daily consumption,
and the cheapness of which is more
important to the poor than to the
rich. They can now buy twenty
pounds Of the best refined sugar for a
dollar, and they will feel little respect
for the demogogue who attempted to
impose upon them by resorting to
falsehood.
In this connection it is we'll to re-
call the action of the Democratic con-
gress, which undertook to enact q
new tariff law in 1883. When the
Mills bill was first submitted that
year it did not abolish any of the
sugar duties, but it made a consider
able reduction on all sugars above
NJ. 13 Dutch standard The COM
mittee's report declared that "this
reduction of rates on all sugars above
No. 13 will render possible the impor-
tation OF foreign refined sugars, SO IS
to prevent exorbitant prices and pro-
tect consumers against combina-
lions" Democratic Newspapers
hailed this announcement with q
flourish Of trumpets. The Mills bill,
they said, would strike great blow
at the sugar trust. Thereupon the
late Mr.. Havemeyer, then the leading
man in the sugar trust, went to Wash
ington and saw the Democratic mem
bers of the committee A Demo-
cratic caucus was held, and the part
OF the bill which was to "prevent ex-
orbitant prices and protect consum-
ers against combinations, was elm
mated to thegreat satisfaction of the
sugar trust. By what charms, what
COMPUTATIONS, and what mighty magic
did Mr.. Havemeyer accomplish this
result? How did he manage to over
come the notorious hostility of Dem
ocrats to trusts? Some light may
be thrown on these questions by re-
calling the facts that Mr.. Havemeyer
was a Democrat, was wealthy, and
gave big sum to the Cleveland cam
paign d.-Mlwaukee Sentinel.
