Danger Ahead for Gladstone.

LONDON November 25.-The cabinet has
decided that parliament shall meet Janu-
ary 23d. John Morley, chief secretary for
Ireland, has taken to Dublin a draft of
GladstOne's home rule bill, which will be
submitted to the Irish leaders. 1t isunder-
stood that the measure provided, for the
party in the imperial parliament and for
Strengthening the imperial veto Should
the government majority disappear on the
first division, which appears likely the
case, when the vote is taken on the Uganda

from collapse by unionists, who support
the governments policy so far as Uganda
is concerned. The expected radical deser.

E. H. Miller, of Portland, one of the vic
Tins, says he was enjoying a siesta in the
smoking compartment of the sleeper Wa
dena when the three robbers made their APP
pearance. Dark handkerchiefs with eve
holes were worn over their faces At first
one of them passed Mr.. Miller; he turned
around and requested" him to accom- pany
him. Mr.. Miller did so, and when he had
reached the further end of the car he was
ordered to throw up his hands. Miller
leaned against the corner of the car while
being relieved of his money, watch, scarf
pin and ring. The robbers overcoats were
long enough to conceal their trousers, and
he was too busily engaged in watching the
ends of their guns to take notice of their
footwear. The smallest of the trio of rob
bers was evidently railroad man, Judging
from the manner in which he handled the
bell-cord in giving the engineer the proper
signal to slow up so they could get off the
train. The only shot fred in the car was
when one of the passengers was too slow in
fOrking over his valuables, and as the
bullet went high, he thinks it was fired to
hurry the passengers who were slow in
emptying their pockets. No oOthershOoting
was done except by the robbers after land
ing safely en- terra firma with their oyercoat
pockets full of booty, when they fired a
parting salute.

special 10 Inc tribune.
TACOMA, November 25. - Three men
climbed on the rear platform Of the last
sleeper on the westbound overland train,
about half past 9 o'clock last night while il
was stopped at Hot Springs, held up the
male occupants of the car while the train
was going from that station to the next,
then stopped the train, got off and made
their escape. They got away with about
$1,000 in money and good deal of jewelry.
They fired one shot while in the car and
gave the train a parting salute when it
moved away, but nobody was hurt, though
all the passengers were very badly scared.
The conductor was forward attending to
his usual duties, and the business was all
done without his knowledge or that Of any
of the other trainmen, and it was al over
before any of them suspected what was GO
ing on, except the Pullman conductors and
porters. The robbers were evidently ia
miliar with railroad business, as they
pulled the bell wire and gave the signals so
perfectly that the engineer had no suspi-
cion that they were given by the conductor
himself. The three robbers are described
as young men, apparently 25 to 30 years
old, rather shabbily dressed. Two Of them
had Colts reYolyers, one of which, the pas
sengers say, was an old fashioned single
acting affair, using caps, and the other a
double-action, with side ejeotor. 4ney
stopped the train and got off about mile
east of haywood station.
Among those robbed are: G. W. Wiley,
Pullman conductor, gold watch and lew
elry and $50 in money.
f. @. Taylor, of Pendleton, Or, an open.
faced gold watch, Springfield movement,
with monogram "T. c. T." on the back
He also lost $50 or $40 in cash.
E. H. Miller, of Portland, of Knapp
Burwell & Co., a gold Elgin watch, B. w.
Raymond movement, hunting case, with
his initials on the outside; fourteenth de-
gree masonic gold ring, with his full name
on the inside; pink opal scarfpin aud $40
in cash.
S. J. Freedman, of Portland, a filled case
watch, American make; a diamond locket
with monogram s. j F.. platinum and
gold double chain, cigar cutter with v
shaped knife and picture in the end of it.
and from $75 to 800 in cash.
Samuel Ofner, of No. 1876 Market street,
Chicago, of about 500 in currency, includ-
ing one $50 bill.
II. Guimares, of the Occidental hotel, Sc
attic, $50, all in Canadian bank notes ex-
cept some silver, a receipt for $500 paid on
some lots in Bonners Ferry, and gold
watch, Waltham make.

THE MINNEAPOLIS pLATFoRM

The platform evolved by the National
Republican Convention is us grand a
piece OF mosaic as has ever come from
the tafIy mandatory of the G.. o. p.
1t CLOVIS with unqualified assertions and
its Inconsistencies are so obvious that any
American farmer, who reads it, can and
will see them, and wonder at the bad
philosophy displayed in every article.
They began by reafiirming the doctrine
Of protection, and pointing to the reduc-
ton in prices of necessities, brought
about by the Republican Congress. Then
they point with pride to the success of
the Republican policy of reciprocity, and
direct attention Of Democrats TO it, half
way calling it Democratic doctrine.
Such logic! If reciprocity were Demo-
cratic principle, the Republican party
should not think of parading it as such.
They should deserve no honor for a Dor
rowed doctrine. But the crime is still
worse, from the fact that the policy is
not Democratic, and they wish to put it
off on the Democratic party. The reci-
procity policy is nothing more nor less
than barter, a relic of savagery, and the
Democratic party endorses it no more
than it endorses a high tariff. They re-
affirm their opposition to the combina-
ton of capital in trusts to control the
conditions OF trade. How can condi-
ton be remedied, when the cause of it is
cultivated? The present tariff is the
parent of trusts. Without it they could
not exist. How can it be increased and
trusts annihilated?
They commend the spirit and evidence
of reform in the civil service but they
fail to name any of the evidences wit
messed in Harrison's administration.
The platform is very much like the
mans dog that Caught the coon goin'

Three years ago when the Wheeler
Organization first commenced its reform
movement in this vicinity, the people
were all wide-awake with all eyes direct
ed to the middle man. At that time the
opinion seemed almost,univeisal that the
merchant or middle man, was the source
of all our troubles. Now, after three
years diligent watching the public mind
seems TO have concluded that it was a
mistake, and have now drifted to the
other extreme. Now, the middle man is
great benefactor, ready with open
hands TO supply all our wants and with
credit TO bridge us over all our troubles.
Now, they go witha rush, who shall get
there first to mortgage his horses, cattle,
tobacco, land, anything to get twelve
months credit. Gone now TO the other
extreme. the end whereof is destruction.
The twelve months will find an end only
but too soon and with property and years
