rHE RAUM ENDORSEMENT.

We condemn the Democratic at
tacks for partisan purposes on the present
administration of the pension oftice.-Hdr-
tiisburg Piouorm.
So, HABBISoN's henchmen, who ran
the Martlnsburg convention, have made
the Republican party Of West Virginia
formally protest against the unearthing
OF fraud and corruption In the pension
department.
This is partisanship run blind and
mad. There was not a delegate
in all that convention who was not
thoroughly convinced, through the plain
proofs produced, aud the cynical ad-
missions forced from RAUM himself,
during the investigation, THAI RAUM
has been, beyond the possibility Of any
doubt, proven guilty Of the charges Of
fraud, corruption and crimnaity
brought against him. He.has confessed
to fraud, to criminal conspiracy TO de-
fame a Congressman who has been &C
/ tive To- prosecuting the investigation,
and TO shielding a gross assault upon a
woman. That he is guilty no man,
who has read the proceedings of the in
vestigation committee, doubts.
But his ''pull" is too strong for the
President, who dare not remove him,
and the West Virginia Republican con-
vention, which was the slave of HAIR
RIsoNS henchmen, has been forced to
pocket its conscience aud uphold
/ him-iorced TO actually indorse
a convicted criminal conspirator,
pension fraud and corruptioniSt, there
by surprising anything in the way OF
reckless, constituencies partisanship
that has yet been called forth by the
political necessities Of the President.

WOOL

We condemn the bill recently passed by

Representatives 10 place wool on the free
list as an unjust and hurtful attack on the
agricultural Industries Of the country

Why not try free wool again, since it
is an indisputed fact that under free
wool we had 5000, 600 more sheepin the
States east Of the Mississippi than we

Why not try free wool again, since it is

DuN,s REVIEW
OF Trade for the Week Just Ended-Fail-
nras Cnmnared.

ures Compared.
NEW YORK, May 6.-R. G. Dun *
Co.'S review OF trade: Business has been
much retarded throughout most OF the
western States by unusual and contln-
ued rains. The movement OF products
is thus delayed, though 1t is believed
temporarily; collections are retarded;
seeding in many quarters is Interrupt
ted, though. in the whole, iairly al
vanced for the season and distribution
of goods is checked A somewhat bet
ter tone appears at the South and bus
mess at the East is fairly active for the
season, although in some lines dull aAd
depressed.
Money is everywhere abundant, In
part because the demand is smaller tnan
usual, but this is in a measure due 10
the unusual conservatism OF the trade,
buyers making many small purchases
instead of larger purchases and waiting
more carefully for actual distribution.
Iron is slightly weaker at Pittsburg
and the glass trade not pushing, but the
hardware trade is exceptionally good.
The demand for coke is shrinking and
prices are cut. There has been large
speculation in tin, but copper seems
scarce for immediate delivery and lead
is strong.
Coal is dull, though firm, but pur-
chaseS of coal properties in Pennsylva-
MIA enlarge the probable competition.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven
days number 200, as compared with to-
tails Of I'll last week and 242 for same
week last wear.

\ Kentucky Killing.

RUssBILvmLE, KY, May GA foul muir
der was committed yesterday near the
village of Middleton, about fourteen miles
from this city. Jim Ford, prominent
farmer, living three miles from the village,
was walking along the country road on ms
way to town. When within a short dis
lance of Middleton ne was met by two ne
groes carrying double-barreled shotguns:
AS soon as they got within few feet OF
him one of them empted both barrels into
him The other negro then walked up
close to the wounded man, who was lying
PROSTATE on the road, and emptied the
other two barrels into him, literally tearing
mis- body TO pieces. They then fled and
have not been heard from. Ford and the
negroes had some trouble in the courts
here a short time ago, and it is supposed
that the killing grew out Of that. A posse
of men are securing the country for the
negroes and if caught they will be lynched.

COLD NERVE.

American consumer against eXtOruOnate
charges for the neCessaries Of life and the
best method of securing 20 the American
farmer market and the best Of all mark
cts for the products of his arduous toll
Nutmsturg Platform.
When one meets such cheerful and
fearless nerve as this it has actually a
refreshing effect.
Are the taxes upon the necesssries Of
life i'm the nature Of a safeguard TO
American LAHORE" Are tsrifI-iostered
monopolIes and trusts formed TO putup
prices sby restricting production, shut
ting down mills and throwing labor
out of employment "sate-
guard 20 labor? Are reductions OF
wages, which have been the rule in the
protected industries since the passing
Of the Mckinley bin, in the nature Of a
safeguard TO American LAHORE" II they
are, then the Republican policy Of pro-
lection is what the Martinsburg con-
vention said IL was.
II high taxes on necessaries. II trusts,
combines and monopolies, outgrowths
of class legislation, formed for no other
purpose than 10 throttle competition and
extort higher prices from the people,
are the only safe defense for the Amer
lean consumer against extortionate
charges for the necessaries OF life. 8"
then the Martinsburg platform spoke
the truth about the Republican policy
Of protection.
One cannot help admiring the rare,
unequalled, al-embraclng nerve Of this
Martinsburg platform.
II the policy Of walling ourselves in
with an almost prohibitory tariff, shut
ting out the rest Of the world, and de-
claring against foreign commerce is
"the best method Of securing to the
American farmer a market, " then the
Republican tariff policy is what this
platform says it is and black is white.
Such rich, double-distilled nerve is
rarely met with even in party whose
sole stock-in-trade is its cheek.

HARRIsoN's FOREIGN POLICY.

The administration OF President Harri-

baton for the vigor, courage and wisdom
it has shown i'm the conduct Of all domestic
aud international affairs. - MdrtmShurg

What international affairs has the ad-
ministratioa conducted with "vigOr,

There was the absurdly mismanaged
affair with poor little Chile with whom
the President tried his best to draw the
United States into a needless war. We
escaped by miracle and now see what
a dunder-head the President was.
There is the Bering Sea controversy, a
piece OF asininity that came perilousIy
near entanrung us with Great Britain.
The President tried to bluff his way
through the muss. and when SALISBURY
would not be bluaed, backed down most
ANONYMOUSLY.
Mr. HARmsoN's foreign policy has
been characterized by a superabund-
ance of dulluess and stupidity.

This is the only section OF the Mar
tinsburg platform which is not dead

the statement made. 1--WE believe" it
saws, "that we can make tin plate. a."
This is quite a retreat from the positive
statement made long ago by McKINLE Y
that we do make tin plate.
Our average yearly imports are $685.
OOO, 900 pounds, and the home product
has not yet got up to per cent. OF the
importations. C. S. Trench & Co., OF
New York, in their tin-plate circular
for May point out that the total Ameri-
can production for the nine months is
less than the American consumption of
foreign tin-plate for three days. The
circular asserts that OF the nineteen
firms named as manufacturing tin-plates
twelve buy imported or domestic black
plates. picked, annealed, and cut to
size. so that the manufacturing" which
they carry on consists merely Of running
them through a timing pot. Only four
make any bright plates, all the others
con6ning themselves TO roofing plates,
the manufacture Of which is not new
industry in America. The circular Of c.
5. TRENCH & Co. says further:
THE price at which the product is otter-
Ell, as far as we can learn, is for lC l4X2O
SIC. per pound for Brights, and s. per box
for roofing, and these prices being ABOVE
the present cost Of import even under the
Mckinley duty, PROBABLY explains why the
article does not yet sell in commercial
quantities. and up TO the present moment
does not play any part in the market"
Practically, we make no tin-plate at
all and there is no prospect at present
that we ever will.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Rain storms with
out parallel in recent years have pre-
vailed throughout the west for the past
few DAYS and the amount OF damage
done is enormous. Traffic on the Rock
Island road between Joliet and the MIS-
sissippi river has been suspended, owing
to the numerous waShouts along that
portion of the line, with the result that
the entire system is practically tied up.
At Joliet. hundreds of families had to
Quit their homes and go TO the oluhs,
fearful that the dam would go out, In
which case the middle Of the city would
be placed under water. The factories
have from one to FIVE feet OF water in
them.
At Aurora, the Flood river is nearly
as high as during the big floods of nine
years ago. A number OF mills have
shut down and several washouts have
occurred on the lines of railway.
In Ottumwa, Iowa, houses have
been flooded, railroad tracks washed
out and a portion of the new bridge
carried away. Parts of the city have
been submerged and the people are
seeking shelter elsewhere. At Lansing,
Mich, brick building collapsed owing
to its being undermined by the rains.

the day before yesterday between a
Government picket guard and a recon
noitering party Of armed herdsmen at
tached to Gen. Guerra's division of in
surgentS. The picket retired in quick
order, and left one dead.
The seizure OF a vessel sailing from
Hamburg lately, with arms for the in
surgents, has caused delay in the OPP
eratons against the Government forces.
Gen. Ybarra, who holds Valencia, has
attempted several sortieS, but his troops
have been driven back into the city
every time. The last reverse which he
met with was on May l. He tried to
send a detachment several miles north
and surprise one of Mora's camps. His
troops were all mounted and numbered
about 400 men. Ybarra was not in COM
mand His cavalry rode straight into
an ambush where they were surrounded
by nearly 700 of the enemy. They cut
their way out but left nearly quarter
of their number behind as killed and
wounded. The retreating cavalry was
not pursued.

New YORK, May 6.-At o'clock this
morning fire was discovered in the i'm
mense slaughter house Of Swartzchild
& Sulzberger, wholesale butchers, at
Forty-ffth street and East River. De-
spite the fremen the flames gained
rapid Roadway until they enveloped the
great three-Story structure, which runs
from Forty-fifth TO Forty-siXth streets,
aud extends to the river. In this build
ing there were large quantities OF in
flammable material which fed the flames
to such an extent that by half-paSt two
o'clock the whole block was in flames.
The belief is general that the fire is
the work Of incendiarieS. The police
have already begun an investigation in
to the circumstances attending the fire,
and il is said are working on the the
DRY that the slaughter house hands who
left work yesterday evening had some
thing 10 do with setting the place on
fire. The flames ragged fercey in the

Bologna.
In the cellar beneath as well as under
the buildings down to the river were

of which was destroyed.
