No little excitement was caused on
Wabash passenger train No. As, west
! bound. at West Lebanon, last Saturday
afternoon. Two men badly loaded with
LIQUOR boarded the train at that place for
Marshfeld. Just as the train started
one of the men pulled out revolver
and was fooling with it, when il was
discharged, the ball passing in close
proximity TO the heads of several pas
sengers Many of the passengers were
frightened nearly out of their wits
| thinking the train had been entered by
bold bad robbers and that some Of
them might be killed. Conductor Hurl-
burt rushed ihto the coach after the

was accidental. The pair got off at
acknowledgements and Warren

The Wilson tariff bill does not OF
course meet the desires of everybody
1t is, perhaps, impossible to frame
measure which will wholly satisfy the
many interests. But ii has the merit
OF being a step in the direction of freer
trade 1t gives manufacturers raw ma
terial. II will give them wider markets
J 1t will create a greater demand for Ia
Dor by widening the market for manu-
features. 1t will cheaper the cost Of
manufactures to the consumer. 1t deals
a blow at the sugar trust by making
raw sugar free. and il deals blow 20
government aid Of private industries by
repeating the bounty. Many democrats
would have the bill make still deeper
cuts into the protective duties. Many
would have the free list larger.ZLa-

In our opinion the republican news
papers are not doing their whole duty
They are not as badly frightened as
they might be about democratic wild
cat money" If they don't get worse
scared about that pretty soon some of
| their readers may think they played the
demagogue and hypocrite last fall when
] they were charging the democrats with
! the finances of the country by substitute
4 ing red dog and wildcat" paper for
I gold and silver currency. AS we under
stand IT, the plain duty Of the republican
1 papers is 10 get scared periodically
about financial matters, and now that
/ they can no longer work the rebel debt
/ racket the wildcat business should not
/ be allowed TO die from abandonment or
miserable neglect--Laporte Argus.
