Bold Train Robbers

kENDALLvILLE, Ind, Sept. 12-An :
other daring and successful train robbery
is on record. The New York express
train on the Lake Shore road, which left
Chicago at 7:45la night, reached sid
ing at Keslar, five miles west of here, at
l O'Clock this morning. Approaching it,
Engineer Knapp noticed red danger
signal light at the switch, and stopped
the train. As be did so, twenty men,
armed with Winchesters, sprang out of
the woods, scattered along the train and
covered the trainmen, while one fired at
the engineer, iniicting a wound in the
shoulder. With everything in hand, the
robbers proceeded to blow open the for
ward express car with dynamite; then,
knocking the express messenger sense
less, exploded five dynamite cartridges in
succession against the safe before 1t
yielded. They helped themselves to its
contents, the whole performance occupy
ing an hour, when without making any
attempt on the other express car, or in
terfering with the passengers. who re-
mained in the cars, panic stricken, they
fired few warning shots and disap
peared in the woods. 1t is rumored the
robbers secured S250.000 In transit from
one OF the Chicago banks to New York.
The rumOr is not yet verified. The train
came on here and the alarm was given,
and the sheriff at once summoned posse
and started in pursuit of the bandits.
Engineer Knapp brought the train
here, but was unable to go farther ON
account of his wound. 1t is believed be
will recover. There were two safes in
the express car, one for through matter.
to which the messenger had no key, and
one for local matter. The robbers COM
PEELED the messenger to open all the
safes, from which several thousand doll
lars in currency were taken. They then
blew open the big safe with dynamite.
In the outer compartment was $3.50, 900
in gold, with which the robbers loaded
themselves, not stopping to open the In
ner compartment, In which was lot
more money. In their haste to get
away the robbers also overlooked two
gold bars. The train is the heaviest for
express on the road, and frequently car
known to the robbers. When they left
the train they went in a southerly direc.
ton. The point at which the robbery
occurred is deep cut in the woods; but
all the country around is thicklY pop
ulated, with little timber, and it is be-
lieved impossible for the robbers to es-
cape. Posses are securing the country
in search of them. The papers carried
off by the robbers consisted mostly of
settlements with agents, receipts for
money, legal papers, etc, done up In
packages about the size and shape of
banknotes, marked 1000, 5000. and so on
to indicate the amount receipted for. etc.
He says only five or six men we're con-
cerned in the robbery. President Newell.
of the Lake Shore, this afternoon offered
reward OF $1,000 for the capture and
conviction of the robbers.

The Evemiasg Telegram gives utter

ing: "There is a new issue before
congress which overshadows all others.
It is the probability of big deficit in
the treasury, which is estimated to
reach $50, 100000 by the end of the
year. This is a new experience in
our national affairs. We have watched
with great deal of interest the eff

at their ridiculous attempts to main

time we were meeting expenses of
even billion-dollar congresses, were
paying of our national debt and pill
ing up surplus in the treasury. Blu:
conditions are changed. For the first
tune in our history we are face to face
with de6cl,. The expenditures Of
the government are more than its re-
ceipts. The Chinese wall of a tariff,
which Mckinley built, has done the
work. 1t cut down the revenues of
the government but didn't cut down
both the people and the government
who are being robbed" High import

ten year-old school boy would ridicule

Mr.. Cleveland Is not carrying out
the spirit Of the Chicago platform, and
some members of his party criticise
him severely for the course he is pur-
SUING. The Democrats who nominated
him at Chicago knew that his Dem
ocracy was simply the thihnest veneer,
and that he was nearly as much of g
Republican in principle as Demo-
crat, and they must have known what
to expect in the event of his election.
He was nominated because he vas the
only prominent member of the party
who had the least chance of success;
but the belief was general that his
policy could be controlled. In this
Democrats were mistaken, and his
strong individuality has asserted itself
in the chair Of the executive. 1t may
be a fact that he is not fully carrying
out the doctrines of the national plat
form; but it was well known that he
was not a bi.metallist or free-trader
when put in nomination, and those
who placed him in power should
patiently bear the consequences.

such filth. If the newspapers would
leave the affair where it properly be-
longs the disgusting details would not
be known outside the courts of justice;
but there is an abnormal appetite to
be satisfied, and our wives and
daughters must read in reputable
public prints stuff that can have no
other effect than that of vitiating their
tastes In literature.

P. Lincoln, have promised to set an
extra force of clerks at work in adJu-

Of course, every one must admit that
the Columbia river is the natural

but it flows to the ocean, and the pro-
ducts of Eastern Oregon should find a
market at tidewater. When the locks
are completed at the Cascades, the pro-

The Grand Army of the Republic
lately in session IN Indianapolis, has
taken notice of Hoke Smith and his
unwarranted attack on the pension
ers. Old soldiers do not want pen
sions granted to any who are not de-
serving the bounty of the government,
and have not been disabled from gain
ing livelihood by wounds or disease;
but they claim that those who spent
years in the service of their country
and suffered disease and wounds for
her preservation are entitled to more
recognition than those who enjoyed
the comforts and Iuxuries of home
during that terrible epoch in our his
tory.
The people are losing interest in the
debates in the senate, and the numer-
GUS Congressional Records sent over
the country containing these speeches
are rarely read. If the silver men in
congress will heed the wishes of their
constituents, they will repeal the sill
er-psrchase clause of the Sherman
act, and then do their fighting for the
white metal. The nation Is becoming
bankrupt at the rate of $780, 900
every day, there are hundreds of thou
sands starving all over the land, and
citizens-taxlpayers-do not want
any more "fddling" in Washington.
Work was the object for which the
special session was called, and it is

never recede from any position they
have gained. By their votes they
have emphatically stated they desire a
more liberal form of government, and
larger powers to the countries COM
posing the empire. This they will ac-
complish at all odds. The house of
lords cannot retard this movement,
and if it has the temerity to attempt
such thing it will be rudely thurst
aside. Cromwell and the revolution
are not forgotten, and it would be well
for the lords spiritual and lords tenn
poral to heed the warning. English
men have defended royalty and nobil-
ity by deeds of the greatest heroism,
and they have also banished and be-
headed kings and degraded mobiles to
the lowest level when necessary for
their freedom. 1t will not do to play
false to the wishes of the people, for
when their tempers are aroused they
are not easily calmed. The future
course of Gladstone is not known. He
may dissolve parliament and go to the
country, or he may still retain the
reins of government, and give some
other test of his popularity with the
electors. But this will make little
difference. Home rule for every MEM
ber of the British empire is decreed,
and this will be inaugurated sooner or
later, if the house of lords has to be
obliterated and even royalty itself
dethrened. The revolution has begun,
and it will succeed In the accomplish
ment of the objects desired.

THE "RoBBER TARIFF"

During the campaign last year the
Democrats never tired of speaking
against what they were pleased to
term the s'robbsr tariff" and promised
the people that the party when once
in power would relieve the public
from this burden. In their platform
they stated as doctrine of Democracy
that tariff for any purpose except
revenue was unconstitutional, and all
such laws would be repealed if the
opportunity presented. Since Oleve-
land was inaugurated SIX months only
have elapsed, and Secretary Carlisle
says the receipts are not sufficient to
pay the expenses Of the government,
and there is daily deficit of $780,
600. Those who listened to Demo
cratic eloquence last year will be anx-
ious to find out in what manner the
tariff laws produce any extravaganza,
when they do not furnish sufficient
revenue for the running expenses of
the administration. 1t is true that
during Republican control of affairs
the receipts were more than enough to
meet the exigencies of the nation, and
they furnished surplus fund TO be
used in public improvements. The
same ,srobber tariff is in operation
now as when Mr.. Harrison was pres
ident-the Mckinley bill has not been
and if, under its provisions
there is not enough money received to
support the government what will it
be when free trade is inaugurated and
nearly all sources of revenue are
stoppedl So far Democracy has not
redeemed single promise, and the
shadow of the Chicago platform has
not only paralyzed the industries of
the land but is sending the nation into
bankruptcy at the rate of over 3d.
0OO, 900 annually.

marter OF ChInsse EXCLUSION.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-The house
committee on foreign affairs met this
morning to consider the Chinese exclu-
sion matter. Chairman McCreary laid
the bill introduced by Everett Of Mass
achusetts, which is understood to be the
administration measure before them, and
suggested that, inasmuch as several had
deemed 1t advisable, it bad better be re-
ferred to subcommittee. After some
discussion this action was decided upon,
and the bill was referred to subcom-
mittee consisting OF Chairman McCresry
and Everett, Pitt and Harmer. The sub :
cominittee will meet Thursday. The
Everett bin simply provides for an exten-
sion of the time of registration one year.
It is probable that the subcommittee will
reduce the time limit to six months, and,
as there Is also some question about what
constitutes a Chinese laborer, that term
will be specifically defined. Other amend
ments will look to the perfection of the
bill and will not affect Its import.

The Bombardment of Rio.

LONDON, Sept. 14-It is now admitted
here the news exclusively cabled by the
Associated Press of the proposed bom-.
bardment Of Rio Janeiro, and the fact
that the forts were in sympathy with the
Insurgents, is correct in every particular.
The attack on the forts began at 9 o'clock,
and the garrison of the largest and
strongest fort at once declared for the
rebels. 1he bombardment of the town
began at II o'clock. The town has a
desolate appearance, only those who can
not get away remaining. all business is
at u standstill. The air is full OF alarm
ing rumors. The admiralty is besieged
with anxious inquiries from people who
have large interests In Rio.
