ANOTHER Populist is elected to the
United States senate, namely, Will
3iam Vincent Allen, of Nebraska. The
Democrats in the legislature gave
him their votes, which were enough
with those of the Populists to elect
him. The Republicans did we'll to
hold to their own candidate, and let
the Democrats take the responsible
ty of his election. Republicans
should keep clear of any fusion with
the party of wild ideas Nothing de-
sirable can come OF any such coali-
tions. Allen has swung the political
circle, if report be true, having voted
successfully for Tilden, Blaine, Gar
field, Harrison and Weaver He
ought to have done the polite thing
and voted for Belva Lockwood.

CLEvELAED is reported to be afraid
of the populists, and we'll he may be.
They will hold the balance of power
in the senate and they are dead set
against some features of the policy
which he expects to make that of his
Administration. They are for free
coinage of silver, and more of it,
every time, and doubtless for state
banks of issue. Will hs give up his
opposition to these heresies? If not
what will he do? If he is to succeed
he will have to rely on Republican
help. 1t would not bestrange if there
should occur break between him
and his party.

The Bill Admitting Utah as a State
Passes the House With
Amendments.

After two days debate, in which
Delegate Pswlins, of Utah, offered
one Of the strongest arguments Of the
session, in it's advocacy, the bill admit
ting Utah into the union OF the states,
passed the lower House of congress
yesterday, without division. The
bill was passed with amendments, the
most important Of which was that
incorporated in the ensb ling act, by
congressman Powers Of Vermont.
prohibiting polygamy forever, aud
another by Mr. Wheeler Of Alabama,
reducing ono-half the land granted to
the State for common school purposes.
Mr. Newlands, Of Nevada, made his
maiden speech, in support Of the bill.
He thought Utah was fully prepared
for Statehood, but he objected to leay-
ing the question of the allotment of
lands in Utah to Bureau officers at
Washington. who did not understand
the conditions there. The United
States, he thought should cooperate
in the reclamation of the arids of that
region.
In defending Utah he said he was
unable to understand why there
should be so much aversion to state
which when the country was in revo-
luton had poured $600,000,O00 into
the Treasury, Mr.. Newlands claimed
that the cause of the present depres-
sion in Utah was the result Of legisla-
tion leveled at her interests. Silver
that enabled the country to resume
special payments had been stricken
down, and now the Democratic tariff
bill proposed to crush Utah's sheep
ra'Jing and borax mines by placing
ytool and borax on tho free list
Mr.. Simpson, of Kansas, favored the
bill in vigorous speech, charging
the opposition with being moved by
narrow and prejudiced sentiments.
The bill was then taken up aud
passed without a division.

JUDGE KING ACQUITTED.

At o'clock this a. m., the jury,
charged to try the case of state VS. J.J,
King, for the killing of Capt. w, j.
Allen in this city, in August last re-
turned into the district court, at
Clarksville, Tex, a verdict of mot
guilty"
1t is unnecessary for us to review
the facts and circumstances of the
killing as both are still fresh in the
minds of the people, from the begin
ming of the controversy between Capt.
Allen and the commissioners court of
Bowie county, to the final killing of
Allen by King, on the streets of this
city, in August of this year.
The trial of King was removed
from Bowie to Red River county, on
change of venue, where it has just
resulted in the above mentioned ver-
dict, of acquittal, after hard fought
legal battle, in the Clarksville District
court.
AS we were not present at the trial
of the case, we can only speak of it, as
the facts Of the trial have been given
to us. The justice of the verdict de-
pends entirely upon the weight of
the testimony and credibility Of wit
nesses. If the evidence of witnesses
who testified to certain threats on the
part of the deceased, before the killing
and a movement on his part, as though
in the act of drawing weapon, at the
time ofkilling, was not. impeached,nor
overcome by prepOndereuce Of ad-
vers testimony then the verdict was,
uuquestionably, in accordance with
the law of self defense.
On the other hand, if this evidence
was either broken down or outweigh
ed by the States witnesses, the Ver-
dict was manifestly unfair and neith-
er in accordance with the law nor the
evidence. The presumption, Of course,
is that the jury found as they con-
ceived, under their oaths as jurors, to
be just and right, both under the law
and evidence.

Sufficiently Correct.

To EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
The article of the Rev. Mr.. Forbes
is to the point. He gives statistics
with sufficient exactness; the only adj
dition that could be desired is that
the statistics of each subdivision be
given separately, specifically including
"all kinds"
Mr.. Forbes grouping Of Episcopal
ians, however, is arbitrary, not being
in accordance with our official reports
or with the reports Of the United
States census office. Our statistics do
not include the members of the Re-
formed Episcopal church any more
than they include the members of one
Of the Baptist bodies.

TARIFF CHANGES.
Revised List of Changes Made in the
Several Schedules.

The past week has been an exceed
ingly busy one for the ways and means
committee of the House. A thorough
review of the schedules in the new
tariff bill has claimed the undivided
attention of its members. Both the
work of review and revision is now
about complete. 1t is thought the
bill will be reported to the House by
Saturday or Monday, without caucus
action, although forty Democrats have
asked for it. Before the committee
adjourned Tuesday the sugar schedule
was reached, and it was left undis-
turbed. The malt schedule was again
changed, increasing it from 25 to 80
per cent ad valorem. The duty on
cut diamonds has been reduced from
10 per cent in the first bill to the pres
ent rate, 10 per cent.
Following changes were made by
the committee in revising the tariff
bill: The schedule of cotton yarns is
raised on an average of per cont. A
new class is created not exceeding IL
cents per pound in value, on which
the rate is 20 per cent. Yarns valued
at IL and not exceeding 20 cents per
pound, are put at 25 per cent. Up to
80 cents per pound, 80 per cent; up to
40 cents per pound, S5 per cent; over
40 cents 35 per cent. All laces and
embroideries of flax, jute, cotton and
other vegetable fibres, Saxony, wilton
and velvet carpets, tapestry, Brussels
treble, ingram and Venetian carpets
and wool Dutch carpets are raised on
an average 3 per cent,
Tin plate is changed from an ad va
loren of 40 to a specific duty Of 1-2
cents per pound. The duty on pearl
buttons is changed from 40 per cent
to Is per cent advalorem. The limit
of value of wearing apparel which can
be brought in free is reduced from
$500 to 1855. A number of changes
are made in the china schedule, but
are more in the nature of readjust-
ment of classifications than changes
of rates. The duties on lead products
are changed from ad valorem TO spe-
cifc duties, and are made one-half of
the rate of the present law. Every
thing relating to the paragraph in
linen laces has been increased from 35
to 40 per cent advalorem. Barley malt
has been increased from 20 to 25 per
cent advalorem. The date when the
bill goes into effect has been changed
from March l to June /.

A Tome that 0ulets the Nerves.

Not all the sedatives and nerve
foods and narcotics, in which this age
of medical discovery is so prolific, can
restore quiet to the nerves permanent
ly, so long as the tranquility of those
sensitive organs are disturbed by ir-
regular digestion. When the food is
not adequately digested and assimilat-
ed, tonic or invigorating effect is not
exerted upon them, they remain weak
and unstrung, aud nightly repose is
dieturbed and fltful. Beginning at
the fountain head, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bltters reforms q disorderod con-
dition of the stomach and promotes
general vigor, in which the nerves
share in common with the rest of the

els and liver, resulting from the use Of

good effect. Malaria, rheumatism and

GREAT RAILROAD NEWS.
The L. s. 8. & G. R'y Co., Recently
Incorporated for $5, 100000 In
cludes the z. c. P. & G, R'v.

In recent issue of the DEMOCRAT
we published, under the head of
"Railway News" an article announc-
ing the filing of articles of incorpora-
tion for the Lake Superior, South
western and Gulf Railway, with
capital stock of $5,OOO,OOO, with the
Secretary of State in the several
States through which the lines of the
great system are to pass. At the
time we produced the articles merely
as an article of general news. But
subsequent developments show that
it bears far more important local
significance, as will be shown by an
article, on this subject, which has just
made its appearance in the Kansas
City Times, announcing the impor-
tant relationship between the new
company and the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf, of which the Texar-
kama and Ft. Smith Railway is an in
termediate division.
The article In question says that in
stead ofpassing throughSpringfeld the
new north and south road is to compre-
hend the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf. The name of the new road is
the Lake Superior, Southwestern &
Gulf Railway, which with a capital
stock Of $5,OO0,OO0 recently filed arti-
cles of incorporation with secretary of
state at Des Moines. The real object
Of the company had been kept secret
pending the complexion of impor-
tant preliminary arrangements, but 1t
came to light last Saturday, The con-
pany proposes to utilize roads already
built from Duluth to st. Paul, to Lyle
MINI, to Abba and Centervllle, Iowa.
Thence connection will be made with
Kansas City, and the X. e., p & G.
line to the south. No state help is
needed for such an undertaking as
this. Some of the richest men and
largest operators III the country are
said to be back of it. When started
it will 60 with a rush, and there will
be no delay or failure until the end is
reached, The forces are gathering
for this enterprise. The first road
started south from Kaasas City was
aimed for the gulf. The last one is
pushing the same way. Prominent
capitalists including j. V. FarweIl and
George W. Cabel. of Chicago, and
General &. M. Dodge, Of New York,
are understood to be interested in the
new company. The new line is ex-
pected to relieve the milling, mining,
grain and lumber business Of the
northwest and trans-Mississippi coun-
try of the arbitrary demands Of the
trunk lines east of Chicago and afford
them direct rail and ocean connection
with the markets of the Old World
without beng compelled as at present
to reach the Atlantic seaboard via
Chicago and New York or Boston.
The lines already built together with
those upon which construction will
soon begin will shorten the distance
to the gulf from 1873 to 150 miles, and
will traverse the most productive por-
tions of the Northwest and South,
penetrating to the northern terminal,
the great wheat and lumber regions of
Minnesota and passing southwark
pierce the inexhaustible corn aud coal
fields of Iowa and Missouri.

ExPoRTIG GOLD.
Over $2,ooO,ooo of the Yellow Met
al Just Sent to Germany.

The subject of gold expectation has
been more than usually interesting
one for severaly days past as the ton
denoy toward an increased gold ship
ment from the United States IS easily
apparent. The expectation figures
from New York, for Tuesday and
Wednesday are given in the follow
ing special from that city:
New YORK, December 18th, Lead
ing banking houses with foreign con-
nections announced this morning that
they would not ship any gold by to-
morrow's steamer, but the conditions
changed during the day, the rate of
exchange on Germany having advanc-
ed to o point where a small profit was
shown on exports of gold to Germany
and before 3 o'clock two houses had
made engagements for the Lain,
which sails tomorrow, aggregatiug
$750,000, which, with 100000 which
went out on Saturday, makes total of
Of $2,200,000 withdrawn for Germany,
all of which comes from bank vaults
and not from the United States sub
Treasury. AS the Lain sails early iu
the morning no more gold can be
shipped tomorrow. 1t is understood
that IN view of possible demands for
gold bars, the Director of the Mint
has been considering the advisabiIity
of making a charge Of bar gold and it
is estimated that even if exporters
could obtain the bars used by ship
pers at Ito per cent premium, the
charge would not Offset the advan-
tage to be gained by forwarding bar
gold instead of gold coin, which is
generally of light weight and trouble
some to handle The assay office
here now hold $4G,OOO,OOO in large
bars and $1O,OOO,OOO in small bars and
coin.
