No Pin Holes In the NC
Klnley Bill.
KeIIY's Advice to the Democrats

Let the tariff alone because you can ac-
complish nothing, and fruitless agitation
will disgust the country. Muzzle the
families and the craaks who want to revo-
lutionize the currency, for a financial
panic will not help You in the election
this year. Attend to business practically
such as making appropriation for the
Waterbury post office and such other
needed public improvements with not too
much expenditure of time in craftsmanship,
and the country will then have less fear of
another democratic administration. Raise
no disturbance about persons in the PEN
sion bureau, the census bureau and var
ious other branches of public service. As
for investigation, very good; let the light
shine, but it may be remembered that
when Mr. Springer's committee investi-
gated the electoral fraud of 1877, it found
great deal more than it wanted. and
when Mr. Rosecrans took off the roof of
the treasury, the supposed discrepancy of
two cents in thirty years, did not help
him much; and when the leading grocera
of Waterbury tried to advance the price
of eggs to 800 per doz, and Kelly ham,
mered them down to 800 and they stayed
there, was the time Kelly came out on
top.

BEATRICE. Nep., Feb. 2l,-tSpecial Tele-
xram TO THE BEL sensational attempt
was made last night to burn the photograph
gallery OF A. G. Campbell and but for
peculiar and unlocked for circumstance
would have been successful. That the at
tempted crime was premedltated and born OF
malice Is unquestioned. Tho rear door OF
the building was pried open with some I'M

used for storing picture frames. The lott Is
reached by step ladder kept In the gallery

Mr. Campbell visited the gallery early this
morning by appointment with customer
and found the rooms full OF smoke The IRE
was still smodering and had partly burned
through the ceiling.
Campbell declines to make any accusations
but many citizens arc free in charging the
matter to one or more of the gang of gamblers
OF the city.
The gambling rooms that were raided re-
Gently are on the same floor OF the building
in which Mr.. Campbell lives, aud the parties

stigator of their arrest. The building II was
sought to destroy is in the heart OF the pusi'

dastardly attempts. The greatest indlgna'

Kansas Farmers Systematically Wiping Out
Wolves and Other Narmints.
KANSAS City, Mo-, Feb 90 Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. AT 8 o'clock this morn
ing an enormous wolf hunt started over
Crawford and Bourbon counties in Kansas.
AS a result about30O wolves lie dead tonight.
Both counties, and others adjoining, were
secured by over 5000 mon, women and chill
dren armed in all conceivable ways. Two
thousand jack rabbits were also captured in
the general roundup.
Owing to an error in signaling there was
one break in tho line, which reduced the
number Of captures, but another hunt will
take place next Saturday to finally wind up
the foxes and wolves of southeastern Kansas
There was but one accident, Thomas Per-
kins of Pennington being very seriously Bit
ten by couple of wolves. He will not re-
cover, as he was torn fearfully by the
infuriated animals.
The hunt was divided into four lines each
having more than 1000 men in the line.
Each side was fifty miles long,
the square working 10 the central
round up. Under the plans the lines
began to move toward hollow square at 9
o'clock this morHing The west end north
lines moved about four miles and then
awaited orders while the other lines pushed
in more rapidly on horseback, driving wolves,
foxes and Jack rabbits in front of them.

OMAHA, Neb. Feb. l9.-To the Editor Of

ignorance of newspaper customs. that an ar
tce addressed as the one l referred to,
namely ",ro some high priest of Masonry or
Masonic preacher" was at least meant to be
answered and that the writer really desired
the information he sought so earnestly. l
supposed also that what he desired bv such
an article appearing in print was publicity,if
not he could easily have found some Mason TO
enlghten him by word of mouth. l gratifed
his desire by giving his questions even great
or publicity than he expected. DO you
blame me for thiss Ii you desire to reprint
them in your columns now you are welcome
to do so, as my statements, IL false can easily
be refuted.
doubtless erred In thinking that you were
the writer, but the fact that only an anonv-
nous name was signed led me astray. /
thought and still think, that If the article
was not written by you, it must have con-
tanned sentiments which you endorsed, and
answered the questions without ono PARTICLE
of that unchrstian spirit which now crops
out in your communication to THE BEE. L
may be decidedly ignorant of the relations
between Masonry and religion, as you say,
but am not, | trust, ignorant of my duties
as a Christian, and will refrain from ans wer-
you letter in the spirit in which it was writ
