tween Harrison and Cleveland as presi-
dent for the poor people, hborers and
producersY Can any difference be found
id their financial policies, the main Issue
in which the masses are at present most
interested? This money question must
be embodied In the main plank Of Peo-
ple's party IL we would succeed at the
ballot and gain the relief desired. Many
Issues must not be championed with the
ilFst great battle. Finance, Transports
tlon, land and taxation may suffice with
declaration for just government for the
masses, based upon the golden rule.
Why would not Harrison and Cleveland
make good pair to head the plutocratic
ticket and save them expenses ON the
campaign In 1892. The indications are
in that direction at present Trickery
and Doodle seems to be the principal
stock in trade and the party politicians
side with plutocrats and monopolists on
dead issues, while the principles Of the
people should be the most live issues
which can be thought to be Of advantage
to the great common people.
The average Republicans do plainly
see that some changes are necessary, but
look to their own party for reform. They

principles, yet wish to have them brought
about by the same dishonest leaders and

ed the toiling poor. We know that 1t is

themselves harm, while thinking they

party was in the proper channel and

A BRUTAL MURDER.

An Aged MILK Dealer Found Dead In

wounds on His Body-Two Mon
Arrested ON Suspicion-No Cause
Assigned for the Crime.
HAvERH1LL, Mass, Jan. 23.-Elbridge
B. Reed, amilk dealer residing near Cap
tain's Pond in North Salem, N. H., was
found dead in his barn this morning. 1t
was supposed at first that he had commit
ted suicide or had died from heart failure.
The body was found by Mrs. Reed at about
$3.50. In passing along she stumbled over
something which proved to be the body of
her husband. At first she did not suppose
it was her husband and ran back to the
house to call for him. Getting no response
she hastily entered his room and found the
bed empty. The truth then flashed upon
her and she ran to the house of the near
est neighborhood, William Hazletine, and
gave the alarm. DR.. Presby and the So
!ectmen were sent for. Dr. Presby
found bruises ON the back of the
there was extravasated blood on the chest
and neck. The question of suicide was
discussed, but was dismissed as it was
thought by DR.. Presby and the others
present that it was next to impossible for
the bruises and wounds to be made by the
man himself. The doctor gave it as his
opinion that it was murder of the most
brutal nature. The deceased did not &C.
cupy the same room with his wife that
night and it cannot be definitely determ
ined at what time tho death occurred, but
when examined at Z o'clock there was but
little animal heat in the body. No cause
has been assigned for the murder. The
deceased had no enemies as far as known
and but little money. The select
men said that the coroner's inquest
would probably be held and
that a member of the board would
confer with County Solicitor Emery at
Exeter tonight. The deceased was seven
ty years old and lived with his wife, they
two being the only persons in the house,
which is located in lonely spot Thurs
day night, when Mrs. Reed went to the
barn to milk the COWS, her husband com
planned of not feeling we'll and said he
would go and lie down This was the
last she saw of him alive. Two men have
been arrested on suspicion.

They will allow Valparaiso to be reopened

President Balmaceda promptly resigns,
the whole of the military forces of Chill

1t is added that foreigners living in Chill

YALE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

Annual Dinner of the New York As

M. DepeW Presides and Makes an
Address-Professor Hadley and 9th

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The annual din
ner Of the Yale Alumni assQciatiation WAS
held at Delmonico's tonight. Chauncey
N. Depew presided and made the opening
address. He said the alumni met to ex-
tend their annual greeting to the president
of the university. They greeted old Yale
and welcomed young Yale. 1t was the
popularity of the university that, though
| 1911 years old and the second Oldest college
of the United States, yet in spirit and
progress she was the youngest of all. Her
conservatism preserved all things expert
enoe taught to be good, and she did not
m owe to the right or the left by any sudden
| cyclones of theory. Speaking of college
men generally, Mr.. Depew said their abili
| ty guided the millions-substantial con-
| trolled the transactions of the country.
He illustrated the incredulity of some peo-
pie on this point by an anecdote of
| successful railroad man who went back to
his native heath and as he sat on a keg
in the corner grocery was INTERCEPTED by
the local oracle with els it trew that you
air gettin' salary of more than $10, 900
yeara' The college man said it was.
'tWaal," said the oracle, "that shows what
cheek and circumstance will do for man"
Continuing, Mr.. Depew said that Yale men
from every state and territory furnished
the environment which rubbed off provin-
cialism, destroyed snobbishness and pro-
duced the finest product of the age-the
educated American citizen. He told the
story of his trip abroad last summer. At
the six hundredth anniversary of the
University of Montpelier all the European
universities were represented. A rep
resentative of the United States
applied at the last moment and
asked for a front seat, which was
) granted him. An American present was
much pleased to see the representative of
the American universities SO energetic and
asked what college he graduated from.
sWen, said the Yankee, 81 thought it
i too bad that America should be left out OF
the show, so waded in on the strength of
a diploma from the College of Dentistry Of
New York" Mr.. Depew concluded by con.
graduating Yale on her athletic successes
