A NOTED MAN DEAD.
Hon. BENJAMIN HAN Dies ut His Home in
Now York.

AUBURN, N. Y, Sept. 6.-The Hon.
Benjamin Hall died here this morning
after a lingering illness.
He was born in Whitehall, July %,
1914. In 1850, by the appointment Of
President Fillmore, he made compila-
ton and revision of the accumulated
official decisions Of the Attorney-General
OF the United States.
In April, 1861, President Lincoln mp
pointed him chief justice Of Colorado,
a position OF great peril in the days Of
the breaking out OF the rebellion. A
conspiracy was formed to kill him and
other federal officers and secure the
territory for the secessionists. The
scheme failed and nothing went further
to defeat the plans OF the rebels than
a ruling OF Judge Hall, originating with
him, to the effect that in cases OF
armed rebellion against the govern
ment the courts could suspend the
writ OF habeas corpus.

European Peace Assured.

here express confidence that in view of
the entente cordiale ebetweenF France and
Russia, the powers will hesitate to pro-
test against Turkeys concession to
Russia as regards the Datdanelles,
for fear Of raising thorny questions re-

knowledge that the France-Russian en-
tcnte is a counterpoise to the dreibund,
will not be easily intimidated. Thus

There is no doubt but that the ex-
traordinary endeavors which the Amer

Government, is making to increase its
trade with Spanish-American countries,
are meeting with success. The differ

NOT ABSOLUTE FREE TRADE.

know We speak OF England as a free
trade nation. But England levies and
collects every yearslOO, ,OOO,OOOfrom tariff
duties alone. She collected last year
over SlO2OOO,OOO. But she levies her
tariff duties always on the free trade
plan, which you will understand as |
20 on. Her duties are always levied for
revenue alone, only she levies her
duties always on articles she herself
does not produce. She collected last
year on tea, s93,000,0OO dutyi on cof-
Toe. 100000; on tobacco she raised the
enormous sum of S4T 100000. But Eng
land can not raise tea and coffee ii she
wanted TO. Tobacco she does not try
to grow. Great Britain makes it a
crime for anybody in her territory to
grow q single stalk of tobacco. That is
the subject or item on which she gets
her money. Consequently she
does not want her own peo-
Die to raise 1t, for that
would take Just so much out OF her
treasury, don't you know. The protec-
tive plan is Just opposite to that, The
protectionist tells you that duties
Should bo levied on articles that we can
produce ourselves, unless they be lux
uries,-diamonds or something OF that
sort. That mover should you put duty
on necessity Of life, unless on an arti-
Gle that we can produce. Now, don't
YOU see that the two theories are exact

THE SALT TARIFF.


We found salt on the free list in 1891.
Our Democratic friends have put salt
on the free list three times since the
government was formed. 1t was on the
free list when the Protectionists came
into power. In the bill of '6l we levied !
duty on salt Of "a cents barrel. Do
YOU older men reColleet what salt cost.
here when it was on the free list before
1857 know what it cost out where l
live. In Michigan it was s. SO barrel.
1 A voice-"I think we paid as high as
50 25 q barrel."l Probably you paid q
little higher here, for we had been
making little salt in Michigan for
three or four years before the passage
OF that tariff law. Our own State had
put bounty OF so cents on every barrel
produced in our State. When the duty
was levied on salt that bounty law was
repealed. II our Democratic friends
are right, salt ought to have gone right
up 60 cents q barrel anyway. II you
add the tariff to the cost Of the article
salt should have gone up from - 80 to
s. 10; S2 so and 60 cents makes So 10,
don't it? You can add, my Democratic
friend, II you can't do anything else.
Laughter.
But salt didn't go up. It commenced
to 20 down. Salt didn't understand
this free trade theory. 1t didn't know
what was expected Of 1t. Laughter and
applause. Instead Of going higher it
commenced instantly to get lower, and
it has been going down ever since. In
'68 it was down to 81 %; in ~ it was
down to 81 10, and then we reduced the
tariff to thirty-two cents barrel and
that iB what it is now. 1t has remained
the same for nineteen years. In the
State OF Michigan for the last three
years we have sold from three to four
million barrels each year for fifty cents
barrel. And that is barrel and oil -
the whole business. The barrel costs
twenty cents. So, II the theory Of our
Democratic friends is correct, that the
tariff is added to the cost OF the article,
il you add the thirty-two cents tariff to
the cost OF the barrel, wo would have to
give the salt away and pay some fellow
two cents barrel to come and get it.
Laughter and applause. But our
Democratic friends say, "Oh, there is
something funny about salt; that has

CUNNING DEER HUNTERS.
How the south American Indians Provide
Themselves with venisou.

The manner in which the South
American Indians hunt deer in tho
Cordilleras Is very interesting and
somewhat ingenious. They first ascer-
tain the locality in which the animals
| congregate 20 Craze, and then the men.
women and children OF the tribe make
extensive preparations TO hem in tho
herd. In order to cause stampede
they blow horns. yell and make other
bewildering AID outlandish noises. Az
q natural consequence the frightened
deer quit their grazing places. They
form in line in regular marching or
der, the elder males leading the way
followed by the females and young,
while the rear OF the column is brought
up by the young bucks, who act as
protectors to the centers.
The Indians now close in upon them,
seeing which the animals prepare to
do battle for their lives. The hunters
then proceed To prepare the instru-
ments OF destruction, consisting OF
large lances, resinous torches and
nooses fixed TO long poles.
The worst enemy OF the deer is the
jaguar and wildcat, and their animosity
to them is such that they have been
known TO leap over hunter in order
TO attack either OF these feline foes.
The Indians. knowing this, employ it
to great Advantage during these hunts.
The women stuff n number OF jaguar
and cat skins, which are placed In
rnaifinna thn n1nn nj
precipices in full view of the deer, says
the Detroit Free Press. Immediately
the bucks make violent effort TO get
at them in order 10 hurl them into the
abyss beneath, but are thus treated
themselves by the willy hunters, who
pitch them over the cliff. where they
are quickly hamstrung or otherwise
disabled by the women. who are sta
toned below. After the first onslaught
on the stuffed figure the remaining
deer seem to recognize the fact that
they have been tricked and huddle to-
gether. awaiting another attack.
Then the Indians throw lighted
torches among thom and panic en-
sues. They Maks desperate efforts TO
escape, but tho relentless hunters drive
them over the crags until they see that
a sufficient number have been captured
generally four or five hundred.
They do not usually harm the females
and fawns, and also allow few bucks
to escape. Very seldom is doe
killed. and il fawn is captured It is
Immediately liberated The flesh is
eaten by the Indians and also carried
TO the village TO be sold, while the
skins are either purchased by dealers
or made up into various articles by
those who assisted in their capture.
