Conductor ReClprocates the Hospl-
taIIty OF Train Robber.
Conductor Bywater, of the German
Northern road who was on the train
recently held up near Great Falls,
Mont, tells an interesting story of the
robbery and the capture of the last Of
the robbers. When he got out on that
dark night to sec what was the reason
for the train stopping so unexpectedly
he was startled to be ordered to throw
up his hands and to find a man
looking at him from the shadow of
the train along the barrel of a cooked
Winchester, which was pointed di-
rectly at him. lie promptly complied,
of course, as did the brakeman who
was with him, and after standing for
about ten minutes in the frosty night
air Bywater remarked that he wished
the next time the robbers undertook &
job Of this kind they would give him
notice so he could bring his ovcrcoat
with him, whcreupon the robOer
laughed and said he could not give him
an overcoat, but could give him D
drink, and he pulled out flask Of
whisky. ByT-atcr started TO get the
flask, thinking that if he could once
get at close quarters he would be able
to overpower the robbcr, but when he
got within about ten feet of him the
man thought the better of his pro-
posal and ordered him to stay where
he was and tossed the flask toward
him. After taking q drink and pass
ing it to the brakeman he again at
tempted to return the flask to the rob-
Der, but he was too wary and
made him back off, rcmarl1ing
that he didn't care to become
too familiar on short acquaint-
ance. However, Bywater got a
pretty good look at the robber, and
having been appointed q Deputy
United States Marshal for the purpose
he started out for Malta to look him
up and return his hospitable treat
mcnt lie found his man in a saloon,
and sitting down with him he proposed
a game Of cards and passed q pleasant
afternoon in his society, and purchased
liquid refreshmeut on a generous scale
for his friend until the proper moment
arrived, when he displayed a trump
hand with six cartridges in it, and in.
vited his companion to take trip to
the falls with him, and the cowboy,
seeing that his opponent played a
strong hand and had the best of the
game, owned up to being beaten and
| went along.

THE LAST REVOLUTION IN HAWAII.

Mr.. John Laird of Canton, has fur
nished the DEMOCRAT Office with val
liable pamphlet, of date January 81,
1893, giving what purports to be COM
plete history of the revolution in
Hawaii.
Mr.. Laird also furnished us with o 12
page copy of the Hawaiian Gazette of
January 81, 1893, which is full of the
stirring story of the revolution. The
pamphlet, giving graphic account of
the revolution which deposed the
Queen, contains an excellent picture of
the deposed Queen, in full dress, In all
her royal diadems and gew-gaws.
One of the revolutionary speeches,
made just before the Queen was sent to
grass, was by Uorrin A. Thurston, who
is now one of the Advisory Committee
of the new government. 1t Is quite
stirring. We quote:
TT Is an old saying that royal
promise Is made to be broken. Fellow
citizens, remember it. We have not
sought this situation. Last Saturday
the sun rose on a peaceful and smiling
city; today 1t Is otherwise. Whose
fault Is ito Ieen Liliuokalani's. 1t is
not her fault that the streets have not
run red with blood. She has printed a
proclamation expressing her repentance
for what she has doue--and at the
same time,-perhaps sent out by the
same carriers,-her organ prints an
extra with her speech with bltterer
language than that quoted in the Ad-
vertiser. She wants us to sleep on a
slumbering volcano, which will some
morning spew out blood and destroy us
all. The Constitution gives us the right
10 assemble peacefully and express our
grievances We are here doing th It
today without arms. The man who
has not the spirit to rise after the
menance to our liberties has no right
TO keep them. Has the tropic sun
cooled aud thinned our blood, or have
we flowing in our veins the warm, rich
blood which makes men love liberty
and die for il ?"
We have looked in vain for list OF
the killed and wounded in the war of
the revolution, but we cannot ascertain
that one drop of patriotic blood was
spilled.

A BANKER FAILS.
A YOUNGSTOWN BANKER FAILS FOR A
LARGE AMOUNT.

Him, Liable TO be Left Poor Mana
Great Shock to the Business Com.
munity.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., February II "A sen !.
sntion was caused 10 business, financial
and manufacturing circles today by the
failure of Robert T.. Walker, o prominent
banker and capitalist who made ON ass
signment this afternoon to Hal. X. Taylor
a well known attorney, for the benefit OF
his creditors The failure will be wide
spread In its effect, involving Gov. Nc
Kiuley, and tho indications are nov that
eve y dollar of property owned by the
Governor will be swept away, and by
renson OF hie kindness in helping out n
friend In financial dietress he will be COM
PEELED 10 face tho world poor man.
During the past ten years MIR. Walker hns
held prominent position In business
circles, and to those not personally ac'
quaiuted with his affairs, he was rated as
being very wealthy man. He organized
the Homegrown Stamping Company, taxi
ing a large block OF stock, and has been
its president since IL began business. To
day tho Commercial National Bank made
y levy on the plant OF the stamping com p
pRDy to secure a judgment offs ,050. This
was followed By Me-. Walker giving mort.
0ages 90 Governor Mckinley aud Thomas
Guy on farm in Milton township and his
homestead In Poland, elk miles from here.
Seeing that there was no hopes of being
extricated from his financial difficulties,
Mr.. Walkert this afternoon made an as q
sigument to Attorney Hal. X. Taylor for
the benefit OF his creditors.
As near as can be estimated the liabli'
ties will reach 100000, most of II paper
for email amounts held by country banks.
From boyhood Governor Mckinley and
Mr.. Walker have been the closest per-
sonal friends and either never asked a
favor OF the other that was not speedily
granted. In this way, and as u personal
kindness, when Mr., Walker asked the
Governor TO endorse his notes there was
no hesitation in the Governor RfIlxinR his
signature. Without making any investi-
cation to ascertain whether the former
notes had been paid or not, the Governor
continued placing his signature on notes
until the Crash came. In response TO a
message Governor Mckinley came here
today to ascertain the condition of affairs
and 70 learn whether he Is n bankrupt or
not. II is estimated that ne is on the
paper Of Mr., Walker for from $4,000 70

the Governor to take care of IL. Other"

A DISPATCH from Youngstown
states that it was the Youngstown Y tin
factory that carried Walker down. A
dispatch to the World says:
"rhe Youngstown Stamping Com
pany was organized here three years
ago, with capital OF $4,000, and has
been engaged in It's speciality of turning
out stamped goods from tin plate. Last
year the concern imported and used
more than 100000 worth of tin plate
in its several departments, employing
300 operatives, Walker, who was one
of the organizers of the company, was
elected president, and has been the
financial manager of the corporation.
AS a result of his management the
company with capital of $4,000, has
now debts amounting to over 100000"
Now, why did this company import
100000 worth of foreign tin plate, in
stead of patronizing the great tin plate
plants at Piqua and Ellwood, Ind. The
tariff alone on the imported tin was
enough to swamp the concern.

BLEEDING AND BLOOMING KANSAS.


We are in receipt of the last issue Of
the Harper Kansas, Sentinel, edited by
Jonas Cook, brother of Allen Cook of
Canton, 1t contains an interesting,
Tacy editorial on Kansas, that is worth
printing, especially at this time, when
Kansas is again in the throes Of reVOlu.
tiOn:
January 80, 1861, the thirty fourth
child of this great Republic was born
and she was christened "Kansas."
Born, as is all the good and great of
this world, with pain and turmoil, she
hes grown until her parents hardly
know her. Born at time when her
mother was drawing some of her older
daughters across her knee and spank
ing them for attempting to run the
ranch and telling the old woman that
she did not know her business. She
came into this world bowling and
kicking and she has kept it up ever
since. She was born full of life and
energy, and with enough vinegar in her
disposition to keep the flies off, The
grasshopper, the cinch-bug and the
champion liar have, in turn, tried TO
stop her growth but she has ever fol
lowed her motto: "Ad astra per as
pera," and is getting there at Nancy
Hanks gait. Kansas thirty-two years
old! Just think of IL! The broad
plains where but few years ago the
buffalo and the coyote sported in glee,
disturbed by none save the noble red
man, today presents a picture unknown
to the civilized world. Where once the
red man wooed his copper colored
squaw-today the cons and daughters
of the pale face are "spooning' with
each other and committing matrimony
at a rate unparalleled in the history of

THE WALKER FAILURE lNYoUNGsToWN.
Youngstown vIndlcator (Dem).

The financial reVerses which Cover
nor Mckinley has suffered through
doing kindness for friend in this city
are very severe and extensive. They
leave him without much, ii any, wealth
and he will have the sincere sympathy
of everybody. He and Mr.. Walker
were lifelong friends. They had play
ed together in bOyhood days aud
together studied their lessons at
school, warm attachment existing
and following through all these years
Each trusted the other implicitly and
when his friend was in need of financial
aid, to stem over tide, Gov. McKiu-
ley generously came to his assistance.
But Things did not prosper, and kept
going from bad to worse, the Governor
continuing to help his friend until at
last the crash that could not be avertgd
came, and left them both without the
earnings of life time.

QUAY ON ANNEXATION.
He Thinks Uncle Sam Is Adopting New
National Policy.

National Policy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Senator Quay,
who is anxious to leave here for the
south, has decided not to go until the
Hawaiian treaty has been acted on. He
makes no concealmeut Of his friendship
Tor annexation, and says he will do all
he can in its support.
He thinks that the islands are too near
our coasts co be held by foreign power
So are other islands and territories under
foreign rule. Some day a crisis Will
come, either by peaceful methods, as in
the case Of Hawaii, or in the train Of
conquest on land and sea, when all these
outlying territories will come under the
dominion Of the United States.
The annexation Of Hawaii, he thinks,
is the advance movement in "a new line
of national policy to be adopted by this
country. 1t is the Monroe doctrine car
ried to its logical conclusion.

BIG SHOW FOR THE coLoRED MAN
From the Ohio Democrat.

Some idlotic sentimentalsts and
dashety fool negro enthusiasts ara con-
stantly bewalling that the negro is not
given fair show in life and that some
thing more should be done for him. We
don't know what more could be asked
The negro has churches, schools, can
own property and bold office. He has
been in the United States Senate, in the
House of representatives in the State
Legislature and has represented the
magisty of this great government at
foreign courts. He can play craps and
hunt coons. He can have political
cranks to write columns of sentimen-
tai slush about him every day. He
can have smart Yankees to lament his
woes, slander his friends and steal his
money. He can vote the Republican
ticket, be stuffed with Republican
promises and robbed by Republican
taxes. What more could he ask?
