Drank His Own Poison

It's not often that retributive justice
comes so swiftly to a would-be murderer
as it did to George Penfeld, a miner,
whose body was buried last Wednesday
near Grouse Creek, Idaho. He "dosed
bottle of whiskey with strychnine and
two of his partners drank small quantities
of the poisoned whisky and became sick
As they had long known that Penfeld
was bad man and as they bad heard
that he had recently purchased poison
they accused him OF having tempered
with the liquor and, drawing their re-
volyers, compelled him to drink. He did
not hesitate when the weapons were
leveleJ at his head. and after he had
taken a drink be lett the cabin and en-
deavored TO produce vomiting. Before he
succeeded in doing so the strYchnint COM
menced to work and be died in n,ul-
siOns.
Penfeld had record of having killed
seventeen men aud he frequently told a
story of having followed Mark Twain all
over San Francisco one night dnring the
bonanza days looking for a chance TO
pot" BIN. re claimed that he was
crazed witz hunger at the time.

Mr.. Bla inc Interviewed.

NEW YORK, Oct. l7.-Iu spite of his Sc
clusion at Bar Harbor, Mr. Blaine hal
been following up the present campaign
very carefully. He bases his confidence
as to the result of the election on what hC
has himself seen and reports to him by
the Republican Leaders.
"In the campaign of argument apd dis
cussion snch as this has BEEN" said the
Maine statesman IN an interview, "eyery-
thing is IN our favor, tor we have by far
the better sides Of the great questions be-
fore the people.
Besides this, President Harrison has
given TO the country an able admiuistra-
ton and one that appeals to the people by
whatever standard 1t may be tested. The
administration is IN itself enc of the
greatest arguments for President Halri-
sons reelection.
can that is now needed to insure Re-
publican victory and the continuation of
prosperity throughout the country is for
the Republican voters to cast their bal
lots. With Our tall strength out regard
our success as almost certain.
while there has not Jeen so much ex
element as IN other campaigns, do not
take that as any proof of lack Of interest
in the election. 1t Is the natural result Of
the manner in which the campaign is be-
ing conducted. People are reading more
and thinking more, and not making so
much noise about it,. They are just as
earnest as eyer, as the heavy early regis
tratlOn shows"

An Infamous Proposition.

Every one interested IN the maintenance
OF a sound currency system should direct
the attention of his fellow citizens to thai
section of the Democratic NatiOna
platform in which the repeal of the
prohibitory tax on State bank notes is
recommended.
This is a matter of vital aud supreme
Importance, and to none more than to
the class that depend on their daily
wages for livelihood. o them a dollar
should have but one value-one hundred
cents. Repeal the present tax on State
bank notes and the working mans daily
wages will be paid in money whose value
will change as often as tho weather.
The Democratic party, in its National
platform, accepted and endorsed by
Groyer Cleveland without qualification,
is pledged to the revival of these "wild
cat' banks, and we ask woTkingmen
whether they will give their support at
the ballot box to such an infanoue

Free Traders VS.. American Tin.
The little medal of American tin plate
entitled Harrison, Reid and Protection,
1892" has been largely used for distripu-
ton among school children of the city OF
New York until last week, when the Free
Trade Democratic Board OF Education Of
this city became greatly alarmed lest
some of the Democratic parents of the
children should learn through the little
ones of the benefits of the Protective
policy. Quickly the Police Board ordered
that this distribution, which was strictly
within the law, should be stopped and a
representative of the THE LEAGUE dis
tributing medals, to the school children
after they had left the school room and
were on their way home, was ordered to
stop under penalty OF arrest.
We trust that every Protection news
paper in this country will let its readers
know of this attempt to prevent the dis
tribution of wholesome matter teaching
the principles of Protection. As a result,
however, of the publicity In New York
City, the school children are taking it into
their own hands and every day besiege
THE LEAGUE rooms for quantities of the
in-plate medals for distribution.
We grant that it may not be pleasant
for a Democratic father to have his child
come home singing:
Projections banner guards our land,
From England's greed and panper pay,
And when play Great Britain's hand,
Please take me for BLOOMING JAY,
and asking what it means, but this Is the
very purpose of the distribution. 1t is
our idea that if the children in the home
can bring the subject TO the attention of
parents great good will result The
school children of New York City will re-
ceive these medals, understanding the at
tempt of the Free-Trade oligarchy to
prevent it.-AmeicaR Economist

Virginia state Bonds,

The public is not generally aware CT
the fact, and it is an important fact
which ought to be widely known; that
under the recent settlement of the public
debt, all Glasses OF Virginia State bonds
are exempt from taxation, either State,
county or municipal, thus standing on
the same footing as United States bonds.
The policy Of exempting the securities
of the State from taxation is wise and
judicicus one, since It's tendency is to
keep Virginia money in Virginia, and was
adopted for this reason. Persons with
money to invest and executors, admins
traitors, trustees, and guardians now have
at home a sound and safe security for
funds which might otherwise seek in
vestment beyond our borders. Vast sums
of Virginia money have gone North, South
aud West for profitable investment. thus
lding to the wealth and prosperity of
those communities and because there
were few remuneratiye fields at home in
which it might be employed. This Will
no longer be the case.
The reyiviug enterprise OF our people,
the establishment of new factories, the
mining of our ores, ard the improved
cultivation of our lands will require
capital and enable this capital to be used
to advantage to both lender and borrower
With such fields for investment and the
State securities, our capital will be re-
tanned amongst us and this will quicken
every industry and lead to- new and
general prosperity.-Yost's Weekly.

THE IRISH VOTE.

~ have a word to say about the Irish
vote see il stated that the Democrats
boast of having the mass of them IN
their ranks. This year 1t Is one of the
mysteries of politics that a question
hich interests England so supremely,
which is canvassed almost az much in
London as it IS in New York, should
have the Irish vote on the side of Great
Britain.
"If the Irish vote were solIdly for
protection they could defy all the
Vaccinations of the Democratic party
for free trade great cheers) -and throw
their influence on the side of the home
market OF America against the side Of
the foreign market of England.
Il know this appeal has been frequently
made to the Irish voters, but / make it
with emphasis now, for | am unwilling
to believe that, with light and knowledge
before them, they will deliberately DO on
the side of their former oppressors.
IL think shall rely on my good friend
Egan, the brilliant and successful
Munster to Chill, whom feel especially
glad to meet at Mr. Reid's table this
eyenidg-I think must rely on him to
intercede with his cOuntrymen-hs
countrymen in two senses--not to aid the
Democratic party in lowering the standard
aud the wages of American labor by their
potential votes and their potential num-
bers." Long continued cheering)
When Mr.. Blaine concluded Mr. Reid,
amid applause, called for "three West
chester cheers for Mr. Blaine" They were
given with will.
Some one in the crowd proposed "three
more" and there was a response that made
the enyirons echo with the sound.
Mr., Reid then said: "Fellow citizens, ]
