William Gilchrist is again in the hands
of the law. and has rather ii serious
charge booked against him. Sine his
release some months ago, he has worked
quite steadily and faithfully. and 1t was
thought that he might reform. but on
Saturday last he took on one of his old
time ''jags,' and then he fell by the way
side. About o'clock in the evening he
walked into Miles, Streyell X Ulmer's
store. and purchased . cent tin buck
eft of Billy Gearheart. who happened to
be the only person in the building at the
time. Mr.. Ulmer having just stepped
across the street to the oyster supper.
AS Gilchrist started out the case con-
tanning the revolvers attracted his
attention, and he said he wanted
to buy one. Finally he selected
$3.50 colts. and asked Billy to load it
for him. as well as purchasing box of
cartridges. Mr.. Gearheart complied
with both requests. handing Gilchrist
the loaded gun. while he stepped back
to the second counter to wrap up the
cartridges. Gilchrist followed him and
suddenly presenting the revolver at
Billy's head, demanded all of the money
in the house. Gearheart talked with
him. but Gilchrist insisted. and the
clerk was finally persuaded to hand out
the money till Gilchrist looked at the
slo in it, and concluding that it was not
enough to pay him for his trouble, laid
the gun down and walked out. quietly
informing Billy that if he (tlfe clerk
wasn't pretty good fellow he would
kill him and take the money.
Gilchrist was subsequently arrested
and lodged in Jail

that they had a job on their hands.
Conductor Voorhees, pulled up. and

work necessary to clear away the slide,
but the work will be pushed with the
usual rapidity, and will probably be
completed tomorrow or next day.

The story of Sysla and the king is usu.
ally told as good illustration of geo.
metrical progression. Sysla, so the story
goes, was the inventor Of the game of
chess. The king was SO delighted with
the diversion that he promised to grant
any request the inventor might make.
Sysla, who must have been q mathema-
tician as well as a mechanical genius,
only asked that the generous king would
put one grain of wheat on the first
square Of the board and double the
amount upon each successive square up
to and including the sixty-fourth. Luca.

bushels did the modest inventor ask for?

Tariff Anarchists.

We find the following in the columns
of a contemporary, whose name we with
hold out of respect to the memory OF its
former reputation for fairness, trust
worthiness and reliability. In COM
menting upon the wool situation it says:
''The feeling in the tariff question is ap-
preaching a very acute stage, and there
are those who predict not only strikes,
but violence, if it is materially changed
or if the present condition endures for
80 days longer" Evidently the writer
meant ''if it is not materially changed"
ETC., else there is no sense to the phrase.
We can hardly credit this as being the
opinion of staid and heretofore con-
servative publication having it's home in
an intelligent community and catering
to an intelligent, thinking and law abid-
ing constituency. 1t savors too much Of
anarchy, destruction, blood, and all the
terrible things which such men as Gov
ernor Waite and Most talk SO freely of.
Whence is to come this violence? And
why? Why this incendiary talk? Have
the people lost respect for laws and
abandoned their reliance upon the bal
lot? Is partisanship so uncomfortable
that it would do violence because of de-
feat at the polls? Our contemporary has
permitted it's political prejudices to warp
its judgment and sway its reason

And now let me give you = specimen
Of the love Of those sleek republican
politicians for the soldier and his faith
er or mother and his widow and his
orphan. One Charles w. +. Dick.
Chairman Of the Republican State Ex-
ecntive Committee, has entered into
partnership with one Henry d. Phillips,
q pension attorney, of Washington, ID.
C., under which Mr.. Dick agrees to put
the circular of Phillips in the hands of
every soldier, every deceased soldiers
widow or father or mother, and every
deceased soldiers minor child, or guard
ian in the state Of Chic.
In this circular are sixteen questions
with blanks left for answers The an
swers will show the military services
of every soldier who responds, and
what right to pension the other re-
spondents have, If any, and what right
TO pension or an increase Of pension
the soldiers may have.
Five two-cent stamps must accom-
pany each answer.
There are at least 400, 900 men, wom-
en- and children in Ohio to whom these
blanks can and will be sent Suppose
that one-half of them should fill out
the circular, and it is likely that num-
Der will, II they are not warned by
what am now saying, and enclose the
stamps, what will the pension agents
harvest be?
The mere trifle of s20,0 Only s20,-

Henry d. Phillips circular and return

ing the soldier and the widow and the
orphan, but this is the worst of all of
them!
just how the partnership fund is to
be divided l don't know, but it is fair
to suppose it will be divided even.
This will give $4,000 to Politician

who believes in paying pensions to the
undeserving who do not need them, let
him stand up and make himself known.
Why should we democrats be OPP
posed to generous and honest pensions
to the deserving? To the shattered
members of our own household? The
charge that we are is the wilful false
hood of the dispairing demagogue, and
is beneath the contempt of every man
who wore blue.
1t is projected into this campaign by
the same men who said that the cleo
tion of democratic president meant
the payment of the rebel debt; that it
meant the pensioning of the confeder-
ate soldiers; that it meant the re-en-
slavement of the negroes; that it
meant the notification of the XIV and
XIV amendments to the constitution;
that 1t meant the taking away of PEN
sions of all union soldiers, and the inn
mediate destruction of the government
itself
All these things were to come to pass
between the 4th of March, 1885, and the
3rd of March, 1889, while Grover Cleve-
land was president. You know that
not one of them came to pass. You
know that each of them was miser-
able falsehood.
So. too, is the charge in 1893 that q
democratic administration proposes to
deprive the battle-scarred veterans of
their pensions, because it intends to
make the pension roll roll of honor,
and pay honest pensions to the deserv-
ing without asking the politics of the
pensioner.
If there ever is party in this coun-
try, organized to take away the pen
sions of the soldiers, you will see it
enter the field three years from now,
and it will be marshaled by the same
Bourbon republican demagogues, who
to-day are lying about the democratic
administration, in the hope and expec-
tation of seducing democratic soldiers
from their.allegiance.
Let me Say to the old soldiers of all
parties: You have nothing to fear from
the democratic party, founded in the
hearts and consciences of the people,
but keep your eyes upon the Bourbon
republican leaders. They are anxious
to deceive you out of your votes, but
beyond those votes they have no use
for you.
These republican politicians who
have raised this pension outcry, have
no more use for you, after they fool
Won ont of voI1r votes than thev had
for Mcclellan, and Hancock, and
Thomas, and Morgan, and Steadman,
and Corse, and Slocum, and McCook,
and Ewing, and Wiley, and Rice, and
Rosecrans, and all the long roll Of
democratic heroes, whom they reviled
and denounced without limit as trai.
tors, when they were candidates for
public Office on or advocated the sue.
cess of the democratic ticket.

Tarifr Against DIanufacture,.

Mr.. Macbeth, the Pittsburg glass
manufacturer, says that he does not
need and does not ask for protection.
He ships his wares to Europe and can
ship more when the exchanges are made
favorable by the removal of legal re-
strictions.
Several of the Philadelphia manufac-
turers Of woolens are ready to abandon
the protectionists. The difficulties of
getting suitable qualities of wool cause
them more trouble and expense than
they anticipate from a revenue tariff.
The theory of making the agricultural
sections export enough at low prices to
keep up home market at high prices
for manufacturers does not even work
for the supposed benefciaries. The tar
iff hits them, and its general effect is to
restrict markets for everybody. 1t low
ers wages by making employment in
factories uncertain and gathering an
oversupply Of labor in factory towns.
Chairman Wilson and his committee
will take up the tariff at an early day,
and when they take it up they win not
let it 60 until it is revised according to
Larry Meals resolution in the Chicago
convention. st. Louis Republic.
