Her Corset saved Her.

Los ANGELES, GALA, January r.
Frank II. Vaudeville stole into the
room of Mrs. Millie Shaw, dresSmaker
living in the Roberts block, last night.
When Mrs. Shaw entered half an hour
later he fired three shots at her. Had
it not been for her corset Mrs. Shaw
would have been killed instantly, but
two of the balls struck the corset steels
and glanced off. The other ball missed
her entirely. As soon as the shots were
fired the woman ran down the hall
screaming. When policemen arrived,
Vaudeville had locked himself in the
room. lle would not open the door
and the police finally broke into
il. As soon as the door
gave away Vaudeville placed the pistol
in his mouth and fired, killing himself
instantly. The whole affair was evil
IDENTIFY premed.ated. Vaudeville was
the representative Of john Allison *
Co., advertising agents OF Chicago.
Papers found in his pockets showed that
he had served i'm the regular United
States cavalry. He was about A. years
of age. Vaudeville had been paying
attentions TO Mrs. Shaw for some time
and was acquainted with her in the
east. About month ago he threatened
to shoot her, and she ordered him not
to call ON her in the future. Last eve
ming was the first time she had seen HIN
since then.

Tho City Election,

The city election will soon be upon us
and the SPARKS has already declared for
u straight party ticket. AS they no
doubt are acting by the counsel OF the
gang we suppose they will get together
some dark night in some back room, and
fix up ticket to suit them and endeavor
to make the party support it. The REG
IsTER has no fault to find if they wish it
that way, although we do not believe
there is a citizen OF the town belonging
to either party, but what knows very
well the motive behind it. They know
full we'll that in a contest between the
two parties the Republicans have moth
ing to fear, and it will mean the election
OF an entire Republican council. That
is what they no doubtswish, for the sake
of getting even. The REGISTER has no
candidates except one for Mayor, and his
name is U. H. Vanorsdale. For two terms
the gentleman has filed the office of
Mayor faithfully and well, and his re-
election for the third time to the office
will be compliment that has never been
town. II nominated we do not believe
there is even Democrat in the town
that will run against him. When he
took the office two years ago the city was
in debt nearly 5000 over and above the
levy. That has all been paid and to-day
we are out of debt. our warrants cash,
and over $1,000 in the treasury il taxes
are all paid in. This includes 5000 just
paid for a new boiler to the water works,
which we had to have or close them
down. No suspicion of jobbery has ever
been brought against his administration
except the contemplate one by the
Sparks the other day, which was will
full misinterpretation OF a remark in an
swer to query from Mugwump Cecil to
Mr.. Sanders. For councilmen We only
wish to see the ticket made up from our
best business men, who have the city s in
terest at heart and help to pay the taxes,
but for Mayor we must have Mr.. Van
orsdale.

Reciprocity.

The clatter of some Democratic organs
about Secretary Blaine's efforts for reci-
procity discloses most darkened under
standing. They are continually ques-
tioning whether he really means to stab
the protective policy in vital part, or to
extend, broaden, and immeasurably
strengthen it. They would have less dif-
ficulty, probably, if they would not man
ufacture a suppositious Blame out Of
their own fears and malice, attributing
him purposes Of which there is not a
trace OF evidence. The objects of Mr.
Blaine, or, to speak more correctly, the
objects OF the administration, which acts
harmoniously and as one in these mat
ters, are illustrated in the negotiations
with Brazil and Venszula. The full text
Of the Venezuelan treaty has not been
made public as yet, but it is known that
it does not radically differ from the Bra
LILLIAN treaty. The treaty with Brazil
does not lessen in the slightest degree
the protection for any American indus
try. Any man Of sense might suppose
that it would not, because the treaty
making power includes the majority in
the Senate, and that body passed the
latest tariff act. But it is not ques-
tion OF inference or supposition, but
simply matter OF fact The Secretary
of State might have negotiated a
thousand different kinds OF treaties with
Brazil. But he actually did negotiate
one which, while disturbing in no way
the protective policy, while lessening not
by the thousandth part of hair the de-
fense accorded by law to American in
dustry, does incalculably increase the
prospective and potential market for
American industries. That is sort of
reciprocity which free traders do not ad-
mire. Nothing looks delightful to them
which does not tend to suppress trade in
this country for the benefit Of some for
eign interest. They talk gliby about the
logical meaning of Mr.. Blaine's work
But they take great care not to face the
fact that the work actually done by him
is in absolute and perfect harmony with
the protective policy, and with the latest
manifestation OF that policy, the McKin-
ley tariff bill. That is the thing which
Mr. Blaine does, and the country will
soon cease to caro- what chatterers pre-
tend to believe he meant or means to do.
The thing done is simply this: large
market is opened for important products
OF American industries, and particularly
Of those which are defended by protec-
tive tariffs, without lesssning in any way
the protection which they receive, or at

There has long been a custom
in the Lower House of Congress
to pass an unanimous vote of thanks
to the retiring Speaker. The Re-
publicans have always acted the
gentlemen and voted this mark of
respect to the Democratic Speakers.
Such a resolution was offered in
the House Wednesday, and passed
by strictly party vote. Speaker
Reed did not feel hurt by its fail
ing to pass unanimously, because
he knew the Democrats did not
owe him any thanks, and he did
not expect any gentlemanly action
from such boorish outfit as the
minority have proven themselves
to be during the past session.

One Of the questions evolved in the
discussion on protection and free trade
brings out the fact that 80 per cont. Of
the cost of all manufactured products
goes for labor. Every bale of goods and
every pound of iron that this country
has the capacity to produce, but which
is imported, displaces as to 80 per cont.
Of the value, just that much of American
labor, and the capitalist who pays for it
pays his money to sustain and contribute
wages to pay foreign labor instead Of
giving employment to SO much Ameri-
can labor. There is no getting around
this question Of labor, and free trade
simply means for the workingmen Of
America no work, unless at reduction
of at least one-half Of what they now re-
ceive. Every man who thinks he can get
his clothing little cheaper by having
free trade should remember that he will
have only half as much money to buy
with under free trade conditions-Pw-

In the last bulletin from the New
Mexico agricultural college, which is
now before us, there is a statement in
regard to bed irrigation that should be
remembered, especially by all novices in
irrigation. Bed irrigation is n system
by flooding where the water is allowed
to stand long on tho ground. This is
pronounced primitive mode that not
only damages the crops but kills the
soil where the water is premittsd to
stand too long upon it. Irrigation Of
crops should be done quickly-just as a
shower OF rain does it. A long continu-
GUS standing or flow Of water on land
renders it more porous, excludes the air
and injuriously affects the fertilizing ell
ements it contains, 1t retards the
vigorous growth of the roots Of
plants and the plants themselves
causing them to languish and finally die.

The speech of Speaker Reed when be
declared Congress- adjourned il published
in full in the report Of the closing hours
of Congress on the second page Of the
REGISTER. 1t will bear the closest in
spection from observers Of political
events. 1t shows the broad statesman
ship of a public officer who has fearlesaly
discharged his duty, and conscious Of
this fact, he rises above the petty jeal-
ousies that controlled the minority, and
has only kind words to return for un-
gentlemanly behavior toward him. He
has been abused more than any man who
has previously held that position, but is
liberal minded enough to overlook that,
and confidently await the verdict Of histo-
ry. He is proud Of the loyalty Of his party
friends to him to the last moment of the
session, and proud that together they
have proven to the people that majori-
ty elected by them to rule, can and did
rule. However we may have differed
with Mr.. Reed on some National ques-
lions, no reasonable man can doubt the
sincerity Of his motives, the honesty Of
his convictions, or the courage and for
titude with which he has carried them
out. That his radical ruling on the
quorum question, which excited such
varied comment, is justice and sound
law is evident from the
