had attempted to destroy. Many and
many a time in battle did Gen Sher-
man carry the earthworlzs of his adve--
sary and instantly make them formid-
able to the men who had just been
threatening him from behind them.
Many a time did he attack the lines he
once had held because the fortunes Of
the day had changed. No greater
proof of the senator's sagacity can be
found than the fact that at different
crises he was for and opposed to the
issue of paper money as legal tender
The situation now is not dissimilar
Il is hardly three years since he intro
duced the silver bill, which bears his
name, which many believe to be the
origin of the evils that threatened the
country to-day. He thought in 1890
that unless this measure was adopted
still more noxious ones would follow.
and this tub to the whale he hoped
might prevent greater disasters.
Others thought the tub far too large
and the disasters were certainly not
averted. But seeing the results Sher-
man is not afraid to reverse his own
act and work for the repeal of his sill
yer bill that bears his name. Charles
Lamb once wrote a farce that was un-
successful. At the first performance
he and his sister sat in the boxes and
applauded as hard as they could until
1t was certain that the piece would be
damned; then they turned about and
Kissed louder than anyone in the house.
The senator rivals Lamb and is hiss
ing his own production; and his pluck
in the matter is as conspicuous as his
sense and his patriotism.
Nevertheless it must be hard to stand
up and point out the bad results of his
own bill 1t is true he has had as hard
lines to encounter before now in his
long career. He must have been a very
magnanimous brother if he did not
sometimes feel when the soldiers were
gathering such a harvest of laurels
that the one at home was thrown too
much into the shade. At one time
when men said sherman" they never
referred to the senator; sherman
meant exclusively the general His
fame far eclipsed that of the politician.
Many of the great civilians of the war
period felt keenly the overshadowing
of their achievements by their country
men in the field. Lincoln and Chase
and Sumner and Stanton all, at times,
showed symptoms of such feeling,
not, perhaps, unnatural, for the labors
in senate and cabinet were as indispen-

FATAL FAMILY FEUD
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY NEAR AN IN
DIANA TOWN.
A Man Murders His Wife, Her Faith
er, Mother and Sister, and COM
pletes His Bloody Work by Conn
mitttnE Suicide.

Seymour, ind, Nov. 27.-As the re-
suit of a terrible tragedy growing out of
family feud five people are dead in
their country home several miles east of
Il is city. -Four years ago Clinton Jor-
dan, then twenty-one years old, married
a daughter of Joshua Foster with whom
he has never lived happily. Last week
they separated aud she returned to the
home of her father. Late last night
jordan met his father-in-law and ac-
companied him home, contrary to the
wishes of the latter, who feared trouble.
jordan promised to behave. but soon
after his arrival at Fosters home, he
began quarrel. Foster then ordered
him out of the house when Jordan fired
at the old man but missed him, the ball
striking Miss Cora Foster, aged seven
teen, in the head, killing her instantly.
His second shot hit Foster in the head
and he fell, but he arose aid ran
quarter of a mile to the home of an
other son-in-law, William Powell, where
he fell and soon died. Jordan then
turned his revolver toward Mrs. Foster,
his mother-in-law, shooting her in the
neck, the ball ranging downward and
causing a wound from which she died.
JOrudn WlIe attempted 10 ueIenu ueF
mother, and he stabbed her repeatedly
In the breast, hands and face, and ended
by shooting her through the head. He
then opened his vest and placing the re-
vOlver against his breast, sent a ball
through his heart. He dropped dead,
falling across the dead body of his wife.
The pistol was placed so close to his
freast that Jordan's clothing caught fire
and was literally burned off of him, the
skin dropping from his body hen it was
lifted, and his corpse presented horrible
sight.

The New TariM Bill

Washington, Nov. 27.-The new Demo-
cratic tariff bill will be laid before the
full membership of the ways AID means
committee to-day. The measure viii be
adopted by a strict party vote. 1t Is
now definitely announced that the in
ternal revenue schedule will be reserved
until later date, as it is not yet COM
pleted. 1t is practically certain, how
ever, that the charges in this feature
of the law will be slight, and that the
increase of the whisky tax, if an increase
at oil, will not exceed 10 cents per gal
lon, deprives the internal revenue sched-
ule of any great public interest In its
general terms the new tariff bill to be
made public to-day may be calaai rad
Ical measure. The free list will be n
surprise to the country. 1t will include
wool, iron ore, coal, cotton ties, copper,
lumber, chocolate, salt, binding twine,
fax, lead ore and many other articles of
less Importance to the commercial inter
ests. The disposition of wool and woolen
goods has been one of the most difficult
problems that the committee had to
solve. After two morths of deliberation
it has been finally decided to adopt rhe
Springer policy of the last congress in
all the material det ills, and the written
report to accompany this portion of the
bill will also be substantially the report
of the last chairman of the ways end
means committee.

years of age, came home late Saturday
afternoon and reported that at the en-

who applied foul smelling handkerchief
to her face, dragged her into a covered
sleigh and drove off. After a drive of
dozen blocks or so, one of the men took
good look at her face, and with an
oath declared that she was not the right
girl. She was then set at liberty with
instructions to run for her life. The
girl was examined by a doctor upon her
return home and was pronounced to have
been chlOroformed. However this may

Viroqua, Wis, Nov. 22-Ex-Secretary
Of Agriculture RuSk died at 8 a. IN.
yesterday. He had been very much bet
ter for the past few days, and his
physicians were confident he would re-
cover. TIE death of Gen. Rusk came
Ike a bolt of lightning from a clear
sky. There vas not the slightest indi-
cation of the approaching end. Col.
Henry Casson, his former private secre-
tary, gave to an assembled crowd of the
generals friends a most positive assur-
NEce. that the crisis was surely past.
Gen. RuSk himself said to his physicians
during the evening: Boys, I'm better"
DIR. Gott end Mrs. Craig, the generals
eldest daughter, remained with him dur
ing the night. He took an unusual
amount of milk and other nourishment
and slept a good portion of the night.
He had talked freely and appeared the
mere reconciled to his condition than at
any time since his sickness. Up to ten
minutes of his dissolution he talked with
his watchers and he appeared to drop
into peaceful sleep. Death came with
out a struggle and with no warning what
ever. Only DR.. Gott and one or two
members of his family were present to
watch the Pickering light go out. Gen.
Rusk's death was due to complication
of disorders, the origin of which dates
back several years.
jeremiah M. Rusk was sixty-three
years of age. He received common
school education, and was engaged in
farming till the outbreak of the civil
war. From 1862 till the close of the
wcr he served with Sherman, attaining
the rank If lieutenant colonel. After
holding a number of public offices in
Wisconsin he was sent to congress in
1870. and served three terms. He de-
cliued the Offices of minister to Paraguay
and Uruguay, and in 1882 was elected
governor of Wisconsin, serving three sue
cessive terms. In 1889 he became sec.
retary of agriculture.
