In another column the Rev. Mr.. Hud-
son of New York returns to his charges
against the Republican party on behalf
of the Prohibition schism. We have
but little interest in answering them, on
this of all days of the year. In common
with some thousands of our citizens we
are awaiting with too much anxiety the
result of to-day's important election to
see, among other things, how much mis-
chief the Prohibitionists have done this
time.
We cannot, however, forbear to notice
how inevitably the Prohibitionist orator
and writer makes the Republican party
the object Of his attack. In a party
numbering some millions Of men and
holding sway in the nation, individual
examples which may be used against
the Republicans are not hard to
find. The Prohibitionist's whole argu-
ment is devoted to setting forth
such isolated examples, passing but
lightly over Democratic misdemeanors.
His policy is destructive, not construc-
tive. He aims to tear down what has
been accomplished in the way of reform.
Undoubtedly he honestly means to build
anew upon the ruins, but it is a hazard
Gus experiment. at the best. He stands,
logically. much on the same plane as the
Anarchist or other enemy Of established
order.
The Republican Is upquestionably, ex-
cept in some few Southern States, the
party of temperance. It's policy is usual
ly to control, check, regulate, sometimes
to prohibit altogether, the liquor traffic.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS logic is not ours, but
that of the Prohibitionists--the third
party men are down upon that party.
This proposition does not need proof and
will not SO long as third party men
prove it themselves, so long as they con-
fine their attacks exclusively to Repub-
licans and Republican measures, and
confine their PROSECUTING efforts to Re-
publican districts.
We think that this exclusive attention
to Republicans paid by the third party
men is, in a sense, complimentary.
Whether consciously or no, they recog-
nize ours as the party most fitted to
attack moral problems, and they seek to
club us into going their way. This is
bad patriotism. BY defeating, or aim
ing to defeat, the best party they put
ill-used power In the hands of the worst.
They endanger the country's industrial
welfare and every interest which they
themselves hold dear to crafty their
spite. They are like the bad boy who
sets his rnotifcr's house afre becatfsc she
won't buy him a shot gun. But still
they are, in the main, well meaning folk
and we shall probably have to bear with
their pe~culiarities.

As I WAS SAYING.

What a blessing it will be when the
black satin bag becomes n thing of the
past with the yellow golden rods painted
on it's side. and its long dangling strings.
What an air of old maidism the bag gives
to the prettiest and dantiest woman. A
little bird told me yesterday a tale of one

night and fled from them by day. He de-
clared he could see the odious simmer OF

DODGE CITY, Kan, Nov. about
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon three
masked men rode slowly into Speare-
vile, little town seventeen miles east
of here, and halted in front of the only
bank in town. Two of them went in
side and, placing a Winchester under
the nose of Cashier Baird, who is a
cripple, compelled him to hand over all
the cash on hand, about $4,000. They
then went out, mounted their horses,
fired several shots in the air and gal
Hoped out of town, going south
Another report sent out by citizen
of Speareville says the robbers took but
81, 700, in their haste overlooking an
other large sum in the vault. 4 confed-
crate held their horses outside, on which
the robbers escaped What was go
ing on was not discovered by citizens
till the men ran out of the bank,
when several citizens who had just
come in from hunting opened fire on the
robbers and about fifteen shots were
exchanged, but no one was hurt. The
men rode south and, according to this
report, were soon overtaken by mount
ed posse, with whom many shots were
exchanged, but the robbers finally got
away.
A reward of $3.50 has been offered by
the owners of the bank for the capture
of the men. The bank is one of severa
banks owned by Soule Sc Muncell
whose financial standing ranks higl

Notwith TIA ding the Presidential Election

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says: Even
in the last week before presidential
election business has continued very
active; indeed the volume is far be-
yond any precedent for a similar Pc
Rod. The coming election has plainly
diminished business in two ways:
multitudes have been deserted from
trade to political activity. and many
more have chosen to postpone trans
actions until the political uncertainty
has been removed. The fact that even
under such circumstances trade has
been of enormous volume shows how
powerful is the impetus toward activ ty
and expansion. The people are clearly
buying more goods than ever before,
and in some branches manufacturers
are realizing sharp advance in prices.
Money is closer at some western points,
but nowhere is stringency seen or APP
prehension as to the immediate future.
Wheat has touched the lowest point
ever known in this market, 7315 cents,
receipts AZ western points being still
enormous, though this week averag-
ing a little less than 1900, 900 BUSH

increased and recovery in price to TAX

BATTLE ON A TRAIN.


A Negro Desperate Kills q Deputy United
States Marshal on Train AID is Killed
BY other Officers.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, Nov. 5.-The half
sleeping passengers in the negro COM
partment of last nights north bound
Santa Fe were suddenly aroused about
IL o'clock by two sharp reports from a
pistol. Strengthening up they found
lying in the aisle a gasping man from
whose head spurted blood and brains.
Standing over him they saw big yell
low negro with smoking revolver
in his hand. Scarcely had they
comprehended what they saw
when the door between the two
compartments flew open and with
drawn revolvers in jumped two men.
The negro Strengthened up and his re-
volver spoke. 1t was answered instant
ly and the negro fell with his feet near
ly touching the head Of the man he had
just wounded mortally. He tried to
rise, but a pistol rang out three times
and the huge form of the negro con-
vulsed and sank back
The actors of this blood curdling scene
were Tom Smith, Dave Booker and In
gram, all deputy United States mar
shals, and a negro who is thought to be
the notorious Commodore Miller" who,
after killing policeman in Dallas, Tex,
gave the officers and bloodhounds a
lively chase for nearly a week. The
marshals boarded the train in this city
and were bound for Ardmore. The
negro got on at Fort Worth and was en-
route to Guthrie, Ok. When ne entered
the train the negro took seAt in the
coach provided for whites and left it re-
1uctantly at the command of the conduc-
tor.
When the marshals boarded the train
they saw man who they suspected of
having whisky with him. The man
seeing the marshals cycling him went
forwardInto the negro compartment.
As soon as the train crossed Red river
bridge Marshal Smith went forward in
tending to search the mans effects for
whisky and to arrest him if any were
found. Just as Smith showed open the
door the negro. without any warning,
pulled his gun AMI tired at the officer
The bullet struck Smith on the head
just above the eye. Just.as he fell the
him in the hands.
| Booker and Ingram, who were in one
of the coaches, ran forward Just as
|
at him. The bullet grazed his neck.
| Booker then fred and the negro fell
with ball in his abdomen. Booker
fired three more shots, each one taking
| effect in the negroes abdomen.
| Smith died just as he had caused
many others to die. He was the leader
of the Woodpecker faction in the race
war which prevailed several years ago
in Washington county, this state. It
| is said of him that in one battle he
killed seven men without removing the
Winchester from his shoulder. Later
he was marshal of Taylor, Tex, where
he is said to have killed two men. He
organized the expedition OF Texas gnar-
shals who went to Wyoming last
| spring to participate in the war between
| the ''rustlers'' and the cattlemen. He,
! like the rest, was arrested and was re-
| leased on his own recognizance only a
! short time ago.
| The dead negro is thought to be
| Commodore Miller" as he corresponds
| to the description of Miller.
