The Western Manufacturing COM
pany, of this city, has recognized with
a capital stock of $25, OoO The follow
ing officers were elected: E. J. Brandt,
president and general manager; G. F.
Mannegold, vice-president; F. B. Tut
tie, secretary and treasurer; E. w.
Schultz and the officers consti-
tute the board of directors. Robert
Dent, superintendent. Mr. Dent comes
from Utica, n, Y, and is experienced
in the manufacture of gas fixtures, and
under his able direction class of goods
which can compete with the best will
be turned out. The financial manage
ment rests in the hands of the officers
above-named. The erection of a plant
is contemplated, and in such case, it
would largely increase the manufacture
ing capacity. We understand the COM
pany has commenced shipping its pro-
duct and that the market for the same
will be ample to admit of enlarging the
business so as to employ many hands.
This is certainly to be desired, 'and
present indications point to its realiza-
ton. This will add another important
enterprise to the city's growing list.

FROM 1889 to the present the tar
iff has been an an issue in the poll
tics of the nation. In earlier times
it was discussed as principle Of
government, and was thoroughly
and candidly analysed. Now it is
used as a partisan slogan to divide
the people and manufacture political
capital. The final outcome of the
Mills bill, which, after months of
labor and floods of figures, argu-
ments and oratory, resulted in a
reduction of less than per cent,
fully established the fact that the
partisan cry of tariff reform was a
delusion and snare. The people
want a reduction Of the burdens of
tariff and a return to economical
methods in the administration.
Neither will come through the two
old parties as now managed. When
a change in the tariff is proposed
the fact becomes at once plain to
all that every section of the coun-
try is not only willing but anxious
to have the duty lessened on the
products of all other sections save
it's own. Then begins series of
combinations, concessions and trick
orv that ends usuallv in a failure to
improve former conditions. The
people are weary of such conduct,
and refuse longer to consider the
question of tariff until other and
more important measures, such as
land, transportation and currency,
are disposed of. In this they are
wise, and will receive the hearty
support of thousands who are not
directly connected with the reform
movement. National Economist.

FUSION.

Hands to Defeat the the
Peoples Party.

We re-publish the following dis
patch from Topeka, without COM
ment-it speaks for itself:
Topeka, July 27.-Judge James
Humphrey, of Morris county, for
merly railroad commissioner, who
has been mentioned as a Citizens
candidate for Judge Of the Eighth
district against NJ. B. Nicholson, the
Alliance nominee, is in the city to-
day. Judge Humphrey is Demo
crat, but if he consents to run, HE
WILL BE THE FUSION CANDIDATE OF THE
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC CONvEN-
rIoNs. He is the only available can
didate on such ticket in the dis
trict, and will probably be FORCED
to accept the nomination. Judge
Nicholson is now serving his second
term, and the old-line Democrats,
who have heretofore supported him
to q man, are Disguised with his &C
tion in joining the Alliance q few
weeks before their nominating con-
vention. Judge Humphrey is one
of those Democrats who believe that
the Alliance should be fought to the
death by the old parties. He is not
a bitter partisan, however, and he
HAS THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE REPUB-
LICANS.
The Eighth district is composed
of Geary, Dickinson and Morris
counties, each Of which was carried
by the Peoples party last fall A
combination between Democrats and
Republicans in this district, and in
most of the counties of the Fifth
congressional district, is certainty.
1t is the most peculiar political stu
alton the state has ever known, but
it is the only thing possible under
the circumstances. The People 8
party last fall elected every repre-
sentative in the entire district. Park

Somebody 10 CheateA.

Jaw Gould has been laudsd to the
skies by certain parties, because, it
is said, he is 80 Smart" aud there
are plenty of poor fools who believe
that Gould earned his possessions.
Now the truth is that God and
labor made everything that Jay
Gould claims and uses as his own.
Somebody has been cheated. for it
cannot be that God is 80 partial as
to intend one hundred millions for
Gould, and only extreme poverty
for the people who, it may be said,
are laborers with the divine Being,
in creating and developing wealth.
None of the inventions belonging to
railroads are Gould's, and it is be-
lieved that he never hewed tie,
mined pound Of ore, or cast up a
yard of grade of the roads that be-
long to him. He even hires, his
book-keepers. What then becomes
of his claim p? God and men land
Jay Gould was not one of the men
built the railroads, and Jay Gould
has simply grasped what ought to
belong to the whole people. 1t may
be true that Gould obtained posses
sion of the roads without violating
the letter of any law, (but which
we do not admit) but Gould has
certainly violated every principle OF
honor or honesty, and unmasked
stands at the bar of public opinion,
a gigantic robber, who remorseless-
ly has and continues to plunder the
public, by collecting interest and
paying dividends on watered stock.
Jay Gould may be smart" but
that is more than can be said Of a
people who willingly suffer such
smartness as his

In the present political contest it
is the politician against the people ;
it is trickery, fraud and corruption
against an honest desire to do right.
The politician may control the stu

way for justice aad reform. "The

WE have noticed, lately, in quite
a number of our exchanges an item
stating that the Peoples party was
the first to admit women as dele
gates to a convention. While we
would not detract anything from
the Peoples party, we think this
mistake should be corrected. AT
the Prohibition national convention,
at Indianapolis, in 'SS, large num-
Der of the delegates were women,
and they enjoyed the same privileg
es as did the men.

closed were those of eleven men, one

others in various stages of decay. In
one grave the bones were SO nearly
gone as to preserve'only the outline in
coarse ashes. In another the skull alone
remained, in the jaws of which were
still the well-polished teeth. The skele-
tons were those of men averaging 5
feet 2 inches in height, the tallest being

from 8 to feet below the sur

hard clay. Around them had
been rudely set up fat river stones,

all broad fat stones placed In this
rude incasement their bodies have re-
posed for centuries. There are evil
dences that the men had died in con-
