THE speech of Hon. VIM. L. Wilson
In accepting the craftsmanship Of the
democratic national convention is con
coded by all to be the most striking and
eloquent statement of the effects OF the
tariff presented in many a day. Among
the keynotes which he struck was this:
When you confer on the government
power in dealing out wealth you uncha in
every evil that can prey upon and event
ually destroy free institutions-exoessive
taxation, GLASS taxation, billion-dollar con-
crosses, corrupt civil service. n debauched
ballot boz and purchased elsctions. In
every campaign the privilege of taxing the
people will be bartersd for contributions to
corrupt them at the polls. After every VIC
tory u new Mckinley bill will reply to these
contributions with taxes ruinous to the
people. For every self-governing people
there can be no more momentous question
than the question of taxation. 1t is a
question, Burke has truly said, around
which all the great battles of freedom have
been fought. II is q question out of which
grow all the'issues of government. Until
We settle this questionkwissly, permanently
and justly, we build all other reforms on
foundations Of sand. We and the great
party we represent are to-day for tariff re-
form because it is the only gateway to gen.
uins democratic government.
Nearly q year ago Congressman VIII
son gave one of the most intelligent dis
customs of tho tariff ever heard ir
Helena, and ii is most earnestly hoped
that he will be among the campaign
speakers in Montana this year. He il
regarded rs one Of the best posted stu

Leading Republicans Urging Harrison to
Withdraw to Save the Party.
WASHINGTON, April ia republican
United States senator from the west is au-
thority for the statement that there is a
strong movement now on foot among lead
ing republican party workers all over this
country to ask President Harrison to write
a letter withdrawing az a candidate before
the national convention. This gentleman
says that the sentiment seems to be grow
ing that Harrison cannot be reelected if
renominated,
There is even a greater belief in the re-
markable strength that Blaine would have
at the polls. He is now of the opinion that
there will be SO great demand for Harri
.on to stand aside in the interest of Blains's
candidacy that the present executive will
be patriotic enough to withdraw in the in
terest of party success.
1t is the general belief that Harrison has
no desire to head the party ticket again un
less he is positively assured that he will
have the full party support of all good re-
publicans.

! Our Relations with Chill.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Reports have
been in circulation here to the effect that
it was understood to be the purpose of this
government to gradually cease diplomatic
relations with Chill. The attention of
Assistant Secretary Wharton, of the state
department, was called to the reports and
he said there was no truth in them. He
said that both Minister Egan and Consul
McCreary were granted leaves of absence.
but Egan would leave the secretary Of the
legation at Santiago and Consul McCreary
the vice consul at Valparaiso. No claim
for indemnity on account of the attack on
American sailors has been made on the
Chilian government yet, the question being
reserved for future consideration.

Trial Postponed by Mutual Agreement
No Settlement In Sight.
BUTTE, Mont, April 15.-[Special. The
Davis will case was sat for trial next Mon
day, but is postponed by mutual consent
until the next term of court. A stipulation
was filed to-day, signed by contestants and
proponents, and agreeing to tho postpone
ment of the case on the understanding that
either party can call up by giving the other
side ten days notice. The reasons gwen
for postponement are that the witnesses
from Salt creek, Iowa, cannot leave their
farms just now, and that the principals
themselves are not ready for q new trial.
The case is declared to be no nearer set-
tlement than it was when the jury dis
agreed last fall. Nothing came of the
meeting held in New York. As many as
twenty propositions for settlement have
been made, but each side wants too much
of the dead millionaire's wealth.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The department

Victoria, B. c., as to tho success attending
the fleet of vessels now engaged in hunting
seals in the Pacific. The steamer Mystery,
which was engaged to take off the skins Sc
cured by the vessels now. at sea, has re-
turned, and the total catch to date received
at Victoria is reported to be 1850. This is
regarded as a light catch, and is attributed
in part to bad weather, but mainly to the
fact that seals are reported to be much less
numerous than In former years.

Sensational Disclosures In tho Indictments
of Havachol- Women and Children
Not Exempt From Danger.

PARIS, April t5.--The indictments Of
Kavachol, the anarchist, and five accom-
plices. including Mariette Doubert, mistress
of Dealot ono Of the accomplices, presented
to-day gives the first connected history of
the conspiracy in which the prisoners are
implicated. Tho facts Of the case open in
April. 1891, when DeCamp. an associate or
Chaumartin, was convicted of wounding
policeman in an affray. The plotters met
at Chaumartin's house and arranged the
programme Of revenge The first victim
solicited was Judge Benot who presided at
the trial that resulted in DeCamp's convic-
tion, and Goulot, who prosecuted him. The
indictment details the story of tho steal
ing Of dynamite and the making of bombs
by Ravachol who filled them with mix
ture Of dynamite, grisoutine and iron.
The conspirators also planned to blow mp
the police station at Clchy, March z.
Ravachol, Simon and Beatot went to
the police station, carrying with them
saucepsns loaded with dynamite. They
had number Of fuses ready for nse. When
they arrived at the station they found an
officer standing in tho doorway. His pres
ence foiled the design. The indictment
next details the explosion nt the residencs
Of Judge Benoit in Boulevard st. German,
and how, failing to kill the judge, they
made = second attempt; how Ravachol
and his fellow-conspirators, working BY
receipts they procured from the Interna-
tonal (newspaper) made the bomb. filled ii
with nitro-glycerine. mining powder and
sebastine.
The evidence of woman named Cheva-
lier is embodied in the indictment. She
describes how, upon entering the room in
which the conspirators were at work. she
saw Simon holding vessel as large as the
crown Of hat. while Ravachol was pour
ing drops Of something into the receptacle,
Chaumartin stirring the mixture with q
spoon. Ravaohol, the indictment states,
alone effected the explosion at the residence
of Prosecutor Goulot, in Rue Etichy. He
| placed the explosive compound under the
staircase in the belief that none of the in
mates Of the house could possibly escape
death The Indictment also reveals the
fact that the prisoners engaged in plot to
blow up the palais dc justice at time when
most crowded.
