shooting was done, at Sll 900, in default
OF which they were sent to Jail. 1t was
reported that Smith and Gregory would
give bond to-day and be released. This
report, it is thought, caused the
killing. The mob was composed
OF fifteen or twenty men
and was very quiet and orderly Some
twelve or fifteen shots were fired into
the prisoners, all of whom were in
stantly killed. The mob left no clue to
their identity and it is hardly possible
that their names will ever be known.
There is no excitement over the matter
here in town and business is going on
as if nothing unusual had happened"

WASHINGTON, u. C., Dec. Ex-senator
Plumb, of Kansas, died suddenly about
noon to-day.
Death came from apopIexy, the result
of exhaustion of the brain. 1t was a
clear case OF overwork and inattention

been known for years as the most push
ing, energetic. working member of
the Senate. A year ago he began to
fail His brain became affected, and
throbbing headaches become more and
more frequent. His physicians warned
him that continuance at his labors

their warning. He continued to work

THE FEDERATION OF LABOR.
The National Body Adjourns to Meet at
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
BIRMINunAM, Ala, Dec. l9.-The
American Federation of Labor ad-
journed at , O'Clock this afternoon to
meet next year in Philadelph
At the morning session, W. A.
Carney, yesterday elected second vice
president, rendered his resignation.
1t seems that ne did not get majority
of the whole vote, and the ballot had
been illegal. So to avoid any question
he stepped down and out. Mr.. Carney
was then unanimously reelected. The
bovco,t on Milwaukee beer was raised
and resolution was adopted that the
struggle for an eight-hour day be re-
newed in 1892, and that some affiliated
organization be chosen to make the
fight. After passing resolutions looking
to settlement of the difficulty with the
Knights of Labor the convention non
concurred IN n proposition that the In
ternational [ Mon shall issue a charter
to a local union without first consulting
other affiliated organizations in that To-
cality. The convention then returned
hearty thanks to Birmingham and local
unions and adjourned.

This is reduction on great scale.
The free trader is wrong as usual. Car
pets are not higher IN price. they are
lower, ION account of the tariff"
Some traders, encouraged by the false
hoods OF the Democratic press, which
always works against the interests of the
American purchaser and the American
laborer, by encouraging capital to de-
mand higher prices for the one and pay
lower wages TO the other, while making
an impudent pretense of desire for
freedom of competition have de
manded higher prices for carpets. But
they have been few in number. The
majority of retailers have not asked
higher prices. There has been no cause
for higher prices The item of wool,
which is the chief ingredient of carpet
manufacture, has been made a subject
of inquiry by the American Economist,
and the showing is as follows;
In the first ten months of the new laws
existence, ending July 81. our imports of
carpet wool were 50. l60.2l1 pounds. valued
at SS,46i.3lS, an average OF l0]2 cents a
pound. The duty of - per cent. ad Yalor-
EN- brings the price to the manufacturer
up to l3 81 cents a pound. This is the
average price paid by the carpet manu-
facturer for carpet wool this year.
In the corresponding months of last year,
under the old tariff, imports CT carpet wool
We're ll.0Sl.16S valued at $3.50, 40, or
ii 3-5 cents pound, The old duty of .
cents 4 pound added made the price at the
carpet mill Ii LILO cents a pound. In other
words. the manufacturer is getting Ills
carpet wool cheaper on an average this
year than last.
The evident fact of cheap wool moved
the Dry Goods Economist to say on the
2Sth of last month, Carpets are likely
to be cheaper than ever before" The
Dry Goods Economist is radically free
trade in its editorial opinions, but as a
guide TO merchants it endeavors, and
with success, to be correct in its facts
and figures. At an early date it had
predicted higher prices on account Of
the tariff" but its editorial opinion
was, a. usual, wrong, inst as its market
quotations always are right. Explain
ing the failure Of its prediction, 1t said,
on the day quoted:
Here again we have rather surprising
outcome or what seemed inevitably lis
ing market. due to causes which We have
already explained. to-wit, the lower price

ton. which cuts the profit down to the bare
bones.
But this is just what the protection
ISIS sald WOuld come 10 pass increase
of home manufactures is sure to pro-
duce that eager competition which
cuts down prices to the bare bone" To
the free trader the Mckinley bill
seemed inevitably" to produce :" a ris-
ing market" To the protectionist it
seemed inevitably to produce a de-
crease of prices as soon as its protective
policy had built up new factories. But
it is accomplishing this END more rapid
ly than the most ardent protectionist
dared TO hope.-Neag York Recordsr.

SALT HORSE.
4 Long Island Packer Who Puts Up
'Famiiy Beef


"Family Beef"
The Department of Agriculture an
nounces that inspectors on Long lsla nd
have unearthed an abattoir at Newton
Creek devoted entirely to the slaughter
of broken down, crippled horses. Many
of these horses were diseased and
some had the glanders. Most Of the
meat was corned and put up tor export
as family beef. The secretary of agri
culture wired the inspectors of ports of
shipment 10 stop such exports imme-
diateiy and notify the local boards of
health. One dealer. learning this,
changed his label and undertook to
ship some of the stuff abroad as
horse-meat, under the impression
he could thus evade the bureau
inspectors. Secretary Rusk, however,
did not propose to permit the intent of
the law be thus baked and he is adj
vised that the chief inspector at New
York as siezed the entire lot of sew
enty-fve tierces and turned it over to
the oftal dock. The official record in
the bureau of animal industry shows
that this industry has been carried on
for some time in a secret fashion.
