LOUISVILLE, KY, April 25.-The resi-
dents of the West end of the city are in
a state of excl ement and fear caused
>by the large numbers of incendiary fires
in that vicinity. Fifteen fires, the work
of firebugs, have occurred within few
squares of each other during the past
week. The fire fend paid another visit
to the West end during the night. In
spite of the fact that nearly every resi-
dent of that portion of the city has
constituted himself into vigilance

tion continues. In less than four hours
lumber yard, church, two residences
and three stables were in flames,
though by the efficiency of the fire de-
partlnent all of them were not totally
destroyed. The aggregate loss will
reach $4,000.
Although the police are as vigilant as
possible they do not seem to frighten
the 6rebug by their present methods
and many citizens of the West end are
trying to induce the authorities to put
thirty men in civilians clothing and
having them to lie in wait in some one
of the barns in the worst neighborhood.
The people are becoming desperate and
demand that some step be taken to pro-

The Deadly Parallel.

Wolsey Journal: Senator Kyle, one
of the stockholders of the Aberdeen
Star. in writing to that paper says:
.'The central aim Of the laboring pop
ulation for the future will be to prevent
the granting of franchise by legislation.
Corporations might as we'll now begin
to adjust their sails for the coming
breeze"
The same paper says editorially in
defending the National Union company
in which George G. Crose (another
(stockholder of the paperl is largely in
terested:
"our people must learn that the day
of small business affairs is passing away.
and only by combination can we hope to
succeed"
Thus in one column that paper de-
nounces trusts and stock corporations,
and in another it urges the farmers to
uphold and support one of the worst
trusts in the ecountry-one that has been
investigated by the national reform
press association and pronounced a
swindle by vote OF A to 8.

Dakota Farmer: Dakota Farmer is.
IN receipt of a postal card note from an
old subscriber, badly in arrears on his
subscription account reading as follows:

ed or learned by experience in the work
and perhaps for those who are experienc-
ed. | feel as though the farmers were so

The writer is deserving more of SYM
pathy than abuse. He is doubtless as
discouraged as the publishers of the
Farmer have been during the seasons of
drouth that swept over our entire Cen
trail Dakota. We know something of
his history, however. He came to Da-
kota land crazy, plastered heavy
mortgage on his claims when he proved
up-bought fancy cattle on time at high
rates OF interest before the drop in the
market: invested in numerous farm i'm
plements on the same plan without
providing proper shelter for them,
and there. came on a series of dry
years and short crops, and any
one can tell his present condition. In
stead OF holding himself responsible for
poor judgment in his calculating, he
blames everybody else for his failures.
In looking for cause for his present
condition, he forgets that to the great
est extent his own enthusiasm played
the most important part in his failures.
When he came to Dakota what did he
care for two per cent. a month interest
or 25 cents a bushel freight rate? He
was an "old, experienced farmer" The
fact that he came to Dakota and at
tempted to farm when conditions worse
than the present prevailed, shows con-
clusively that "our experienced far
mer" had faith in his ability to meet
these conditions by most extravagant
methods. Now, flat on his back, he
condemns every one who is not in
the same fix, instead OF making a
manly effort to get on his feet
again. If he has contracted obli-
cations unpaid in the past, future
efforts are not to be made with calcu.
lation to meet them but he is willing te
let his credit remain at low ebb. We
drop the experienced farmer from oul
list and for his encouragement donate
the balance of his subscription money
with the parting advice that for 1892 he
turn over new leaf and raise less hel
and more sheep.

Argus-Leader: Public Opinion
thinks Senator Kyle did well to knock
out the Arizona funding bill by insert
ing "lawful money" instead OF gold.
WHY? 1t killed the bill and so COM
pelled the territory to go on paying 10
per cent. interest on its debt instead OF
s. The Arizonians are thatmuch worse
off and silver money is no better. The
mopeyed men simply refuse to take the
bonds. This is only another pound adj
ded to the overwhelming weight OF evl-
dence that while congress can dlsar'
rance business and discommode people
it cannot improve on nature IN making
them prosperous.

a cApT,ous QUERY ANSWERED

MITCHELL REPUBLICAN,: The far.
,,ars of South Dakota will have a

defined Republican policy and the hum
h,gpery hu of .;reform, y either of the tar
itf Variety or OF the peoples party

evidently was not promulgated at
Chamberlain. The kids were there in
force, but they did not dare enunciate a
nolicy. They were waiting for the
Wall street edict.
1t is the policy which has made OF
this country the grandest. most pros
nerous nation on the face of the globe.
1t is the policy which is embodied in
the Mckinley law, that has within a
wear been most emphatically vindica-
ted in two OF the strongest manufacture
ing states in the union.
tits the policy which is embodied in
the silver law of 1890, which provides
for large increase Of the currency,
without depreciating the value of that
currency.
1t is the policy which is exemplified
in the reciprocity treaties recently
made with countries where surplus
American products of all kinds will find
ready market.
1t is the policy which has enacted the
only antitrust legislation, both national
and state, that was ever put upon the
statute books of any government.
1t is the policy which is embodied in
the interstate commerce law for the
control of railroad corporations, and in
such railroad legislation as the laws oi
Iowa, Illinois and other Republican
states.
1t is the policy which has remembered
the veterans of the late war in man
ner, the generosity of which has no par
allel in the history of the world.
It is the policy which has given te
millions of settlers in the northwes
free homes in the past, and which
today, by the exercise of a broad an6
liberal policy in the Interior depart
ment, is restoring their forfeited home:
to many victim of that element of the
Democratic party which is now assidu
ously courting fellows of the Louck
ilk
Its the policy which. under the skill
full direction of President Harrison ant
Secretary Blaine, has affirmed the abil
ity of the United States to defend will
dignity national rights on sea or land
whether The disputing power were tn
insignificant Chile or the bold and blus
tering Great Britain.
These are the policies which thu
Chamberlain convention enthusiastic
ally endorsed, Unlike the new thirt
party which has in the past two year
promulgated at least three widel
diverging policies each year-vide tn
platforms at Omaha, st. Louis, Ocals
Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Chicago, ct al
the Republican party has a course
action consistent, logical, steadfast an
progressive, and unlike its opponent
does not find it necessary to chase afte
every new vagary to which there ma
be voter or two attached.
