TURNER'S MURDERoUs RECORD.

Berry Turner is considered one of the
most desperate outlaws that ever disgraced
this country. He comes from the famous
Turner family of Yellow Creek and has a
record for killing rarely equaled. He has
gathered about him a desperate gang of
mOuntaineers and defies the law as much as
he does his enemies. His stronghold is Just
on the Tennessee line. The sheriff Of Clai-
borne county, Tennessee. has notified the
officers here that he VIII furnish posse of
twenty men TO assist in the capture of
Turner and his gang, and an attempt will
probably be made.

Turner They had assisted in his capture
about year and half ago,
when he was lodged in jail here.
Since Turner made his escape
these two men have been endeavoring to
effect his capture. They had gone so far as
to offer a reward Of $500 for Turner's appre-
hension, and the outlaw has doubtless been
awaiting this opportunity for vengeance.

DECIDES THE PARTY POLICY.
BIZ the associated Press.

At the conclusion Of a long debate Mr..
Bryan Of Nebraska offered resolution de-
claring it to be the sense of the democratic
members of the committee that its policy
with regard to tariff legislation in the
Fifty-second congress should be one of re-
vision by separate measures in
stead of general revision of the
whole system. This motion was carried.
The affirmative votes were cast by Messrs
Montgomery. Whiting, ShivelY, Cockran,
Stevens. Bryan and Springer, the new
members Of the committee. The negative
votes were cast by Messrs. McMillin, Turner
and Wilson, who were members Of the
committee in previous congresses The
general policy having been determined
upon, all the members present agreed TO
abide by the conclusion reached. Mr.. Will
son Of West Virginia said later that a ma
jority Of the committee would act In har-
Inony and Mr.. McMillin and Mr.. Turner of
Georgia subsequently, concurred in this
statement.

The suicide Of Hume Webster, the horse
breeder, has been discovered to be due to
worse than monetary troubles. He used
forged signatures on bills amounting TO
over 10000, a bill presented for payment
on Monday with the signature forged lead
ing to the discovery of other forgeries.
The name of an American fnanoier,
long friend of Webster, and
associated with him in the Efnbreville
Freehold Company, had been used on a
spurious paper. Webster's affairs became
so desperate that the frauds he committed,
even il they had net been revealed, would
not suffice to cover his debts

Chancellor Salisbury Dead

WuNIyqreS, DEL, April 6.-Hon. Willard
Salisbury Chancellor of the State Of Della
ware since 1874, and United States Senator
from 1859 to 1871, died at his residence, at
Dover, this morning of apoplexy.
His death was sudden and unexpected, as
he was in his usual apparent health yester-
day and able to be out driving. For many
years past, however, he had been physically
infrm, though his bright intellect remained
undimmed to the last. Chancellor Salisbury
was born in Mispillion Hundred, Kent county,
June 2, 1920 lie was graduated at Dickin.
sou College, and studied law under Chief
Justice Bartol, of Maryland, and Chancellor
Bates, of Delaware.
In 1850 he was appointed attorney general
of Delaware. He was delegate to the
Buchanan convention in 1856. In 1859 he was
elected to the United States Senate, where
he figured prominently during the exciting
period of the civil war. After serving two
terms he wac succeeded in 1871 by his brother
Eli, whose election was the outcome of a
memorable triangular contest between the
Salisbury brothers, Willard, Cove and Eli,
for the United States Senatorship. In 1874
he was appointed by Governor Ponder Chan
cellor of the State, an office which he has
since filed with eminent ability. He leaves
a widow, daughter of ex- Governor Ponder,
and one son, Willard, who is prominent
member of the Wilmington bar.

The Assessment Bill.

Strong opposition has developed against
the assessment bill, but it is all from Balti-
more. \ large delegation of bankers
and lawyers, with Jacob &. Schonlarber,
representing ~ the Knights Of Labor,
went 10 Annapolis on Wednesday to in
duce the Governor to veto the bill. Sc
far as we know, every man was capitalist
except Schoufarber, and he IS y very I'M
certain quantity at any time.
The press of Baltimore is laborins hard
10 defeat the bill, except the Herald,
(Which faVors the measure, and every rich
lawyer and banker of Baltimore has been
interviewed and declared against the bill.
We have not examined the proposed
law closely, but some of the arguments
against it are the results of vivid imagina-
tons. In fact the bill has not been treated
fairly at ALL The endeavor has been to
arouse opposition and to excite the fears of
the popalace that capital will take flight,
no more industries will be established in
the state and those in existence will close
Mp. And all this because 40 effort is
being made to get the wealthy to bear Il
part of the burdens of government that are
now almost wholly borne by those of very
moderate circumstances.
1t is very singular, toe, that the lawyer
and bankers of Baltimore should be wiser
than other men, The assessment bill /:
no doubt imperfect, and contains some in
eonsistencies, but that it should meet th'
almost unanimous Judgment of the Senate
and House, in which were some of thu
brightest minds Of the state, and be sucl
a bill of horrors and iniquities, is beyon'
comprehension.
The bill will not be entirely satisfactoF.
70 the counties 1t exempts the tools o
the mechanic and taxes the implements o
the farmer 1t exempts mortgages, an'
colleges, that are conducted for profit, jus
as any other business is conducted, exempt
a lot of private institutions, alleged to b
charitable, although like colleges are ruI
for dollars and cents. Still the bill is
step forward, and if signed and put il
force it can be amended and improved BY
the next Legislature, if necessary, As tn
assessment will not affect the levy of thi
year, it would have but one years trla
before the meeting of the Legislature, am
it could not in one year produce all tn
evils predicted.

Gov. Browns Vetoes.

Gov. Brown has declared that the ap-
preparation to the Chicago fair shall be
limited to $4,000, and that the $4,000
contingent fund shall remain in the treas
ury. The Governor is lead to this conclu-
sion by the fear that the treasury, in view
of the increased appropriations made by
the Legislature, will rot hold out. He has
also vetoed the free book bills, the State
weather bureau bill, the bill for an insane
asylum on the Eastern Shore, appropriatiug
sos, 900 for the Northern Railway Company
of Cecil county, and other bills carrying
appropriations, and struck some items from
the General Appropriations. The bills
thus vetoed will save 10 the treasury about
four hundred thousand dollars. The Gov
ernor does not declare that these measures
are not meritorious, but vetoed them be-
cause the money to meet the appropriations
had not been provided.

The Masses for Cleveland.

As the time for the Democratic National
Convention draws nearer, the sentiment
among the masses for Cleveland appears to
be growing stronger, and it is general and
widespread. In every section of the eoun'
try and in every state and county the most
outspoken sentiment is largely for Cleve-
land. Indeed, if there is any considerable
interest in any other candidate now 1t Is
dormant, fof the whole drift at present IS
all one way. In New York, where doubts
of Mr.. Cleveland's standing existed, his
friends claim that he is by far the strongest
man with the masses of the party. Al
though Senator Hill has the New York
delegation pledged to him, outside OF his
state his nomination has not been regarded
even as possibility. And even in New
York his strength seems to have consider
ably lessened. 1t is believed, now, that
Senator Hill does not expect more than
complimentary vote, and that his strength
will then be thrown for Cleveland.

throughout the country, and whose name
has been mentioned in connection with the
Presidency, we have never thought serious

Cleveland.
In the summer of 1886, in speaking on
a resolution concerning the treasury sur
plus. Senator German paid high tribute
to President Cleveland and announced
for tariff reduction, the issue which has
given Mr.. Cleveland his great strength
before the people. In that speech, Mr..
German said
Mr.. President, think can safely assert,
without fear of successful contradiction, that
the people of this country are well satisfied
that the President of the United States has,
so far as he has had the power and the oppor-
tunity, redeemed every pledge made by his
party and himself to correct the abuses which
had naturally grown upin the executive branch
of the Government, and he is pursuing a
straightforward and honest course toward in
stituting such other reforms as time and ex-
perence will demonstrate to be for the public
good.
In common with many other Democrats. |
do not hesitate to express my regret that the
Legislative branch of the Government has not
been able to enact such laws that would en-
able.the President and the Secretary OF the
Treasury to comply fully with the demand OF
the people for a reduction of taxation, which
may be said to be the first and the greatest
reform demanded by the people of this coun-
try, without distinction of party, and to which
both parties are pledged III their platforms OF
of 1884.
If the present enthusiasm for Mr.. Cleve'
land continues, no other name will be Sc
rlousIy considered by the Chicago conven,
ton, and he will enter the race with con
tideut party behind him.

The first great force opposed to the pas
sage of the silver bill was in this Congress,
as it had been for three years the present
administration. No stone had been left un-
turned, no effort unemployed to compass the
defeat Of the measure. The national conven-
ton was soon coming on, and decisive
action on the silver question was supposed
to be rather embarrassing, and thing that
it would be better to avoid. The necessity
of vote had to be prevented, if possible,
and so the miserable work had begun. The
Offices had been parcelled out, the party
lash had been cracked and wavering mem
hers had been gained. The work had APP
pareutly been effectively done, and yet there
was always tomorrow. Nobody was de-

Opposed to Military Rule.

When the Indian appropriation. hill came
M in the United States Senate on Wednesday,
the pending question being the motion for the
assignment of army officers as Indian agents
instead of the appointment Of civilians as at
present, Senator German spoke against the
proposed transfer 1t would require, he said (,
a yery extreme case to induce him to vote for
any proposition to substitute army or navy
officers for civilians in civil service. 1t
seemed to him that within the past ten years
there was an organized effort on the part,
probably, of well meaning men, aided by a
powerful press, to teach the American people
| that their form of government was failure.
that there was neither good legislation in
4 Congress nor honesty nor integrity in its
members, and that the executive branches of
| the government we're absolutely devoid of
honesty and integrity. This assault upon the
institutions of the country was followed, nat
urally. by all the machinery OF laws capable
of being devised TO restrict the power Of the
people to control their servants. 1t was fol-
! lowed by assaults on men in executive posi-
tions with the desire and motive to substitute
in their places army and navy officers. The
government of the District of Columbia was
one instance which Mr. German referred to
in illustration of this view; the effort to trans
fer the revenue cutter service to the Navy
Department was another instance, and the
execution of the river and harbor improve
ments by army officers another. He believed
that the proposed assignment OF army officers
to the Indian bureau was only one of those
stems. and he was, therefore, not content with
casting bis vote against it, but desired TO pro-
tast against an innovation which looked away
beyond what those who advocated 1t thought

Some people are too anxious

thinking that cheap one will
dc as well as a good watch, and
that all the difference in watches
is in the price. Maybe it re-
quires a moral effort on your
part to pay us $1,000 for plain
looking, but honest time keeper,

offers you gold watch forS2. so,

when he went up in balloon
and couldn't find the silver
lining of the cloud. 1t happens
that now and then a person
sends off for such gold watch,
gets it, is stuck, and then losses
faith in watches and humanity
for ever and ever and ever.
We think it would pay You TO
call on us and see if we have
what you want, and if we can't
suit you, at all, out of a large
