THE U. OF P. GIANTS TO Be HERE


They Want to Visit Wilmington for an
"Off Day" and Show Warren n Trick or

for the delight of Wilmington pgskin
enthusiasts is that of the visit here Fri
day of representatives of the University of
Pennsylvania foot. ball managers for the

IL does not matter what the weather may
be-rain, snow, or sbine-the old football

SUCCESSFUL TRAIN RosseR.
SIX Masked Men Go Through the Passen-
gets on = Train In tho Indian
TerrltarY

The south bound Missouri, Kansas & Texas
passenger train No. 3, was held up at Pryor
Creek, Indian Territory, at $3.50 o'clock on
the evening of the End, by six men supposed
TO be members Of the notorious Henry Starr
gang. The hold-up took place at the sta.
ton.
When the train stopped the robbers covered
the engineer, fireman, conductor and train
crew with Winches.ers and forced them to
leave the train. They were marched OF some
distance and two men placed to guard them
The other four men turned their attention to
the express car. Here they failed to secure
anything, the piucky messenger refusing to
open his safe. although th-y had Winches
ter at bis head and knife at his throat.
Abandoning the express car, the robbers
went through the passenger coaches. They
stripped the passengers Of everything they
had and secured considerable amount In
money aud yaluables, but just how much can
not now be learned. Among the passengers
on board we're President E. L. Martin, Of the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad, and
party Of the officials, who had Just been
over their llne on q tour Of inspection. Great
excitement prevailed on the train and several
women fsinted but as far as can be learned
no person was In any way injured. Before
the train arrived the robbers had bound and
gagged the station ageLt.
After depositing the money and valuablcs
in sacks the bandits backed out OF the car,
firing about forty pistol shots into the air,
and escaped in the darkness, The amount
of the booty secured by the bandits is un-
known, but Is supposed 10 be considerably
over $4,000.

ANOTHER WHOLESOME LESSON.

When men give up legitimate channels
of trade and go to specializing in futures
they take chances knowingly on getting
squeezed as Cudahy and the other plung-
ers at Chicago did on Tuesday, hence
little sympathy is wasted on them. Ac-
tual values had nothing to do with the
panic that struck wheat and pork on the
Chicago board of trade on the first. This
was shown by the way pork tumbled from
$19 down to 80 barrel. One of two
things is apparent from this; either there
wasn't sane man on the Hoor or there
was no money available, nor credit either.
The latter is the more likely, and it shows
that men who have money are becoming
weary of the speculator and his reckless
methods. But to the main point, it may
be said that the whole cause of the trouble
was first of the month squeeze. The
banks needed their money; they held $2,-
100000 in warehouse certificates. On the
other hand the buyers called for actual
delivery, and between these two forces
maelstrom was created that swept under
half a dozen of the strongest firms. These
events can do no harm to legitimate
trade if their cause and effect nre properly
considered. If anything they ought to
stand as wholesome lessons and have
purifying tendency upon all transactions
in the ordinary channels of business.

A FAIR DEAL WANTED.

The administration is congratulating
itself over the fact that "only los natiofal
banks have failed" since Mr.. Cleveland
assumed control of the government. Npw
If the comptroller of the treasury would
issue bulletin showing how many mills
and factories have closed down, what the
loss is on the average price of wool,
cotton, corn and wheat, and how many
laboring men have been thrown out of
employment during this same period,
perhaps we could get at some right read
able facts for purposes of making COM
parison-and comparison, too, that
ninety mine men out of every 100 would
display deep interest in about this time
of the year. Now that the administration
has seen fit to "chip in" on the bank
failure question, we call upon it to go
farther and give US some information on
these other sub ects. 1t Is hardly fair to
thus discriminate against the farmer and
the manufacturer and the laboring man
in the interest of the national banks, any
how. Come Mr.. Eckles, give us the other
facts. and be fair about it.

is considered that the agent is one of the
best posted and strictest officials in the
service of the treasury department.
Mr.. Hughes has been in office three
years, during which time he collected
$4,000, every cent of which has been
fully accounted for. Illicit distilling
was practically unknown in New Mexico
during his administration, and revenue
matters moved along smoothly and salts
factorily to the government, the mer-
chants and the people. Mr.. Hughes re-
tires with frst-class record as an official
and as man from the office of collector
of internal revenue for the New Mexico

Free Trade and Gold. Bug Program.

Ffee-Tradc and GOld-BuG Program
Reviewing the political changes for a
few years past it is easy to see that the
protectionists have been outwitted by
their enemies. With the overwhelming
election of Cleveland they seem to have
lost all their fighting qualities When the
free-trade, gold-standard Cleveland organs
Immediately after the election started the
hurrah against the Sherman bill, the pro-
tectionists stupidity Joined in the howl.
The latter thought that by charging the
hard times upon silver they would divert
hostility from themselves.
The free-trade managers have been
very shrewd. Had they pressed their
promises for tariff revision Immediately
to the front it was clear that the Protec-
tionists would make an alliance with the
silver states and defeat them. Therefore
they decided to let the tariff question 60
to the rear until they had used the pro-
tectionists to assist them in establishing
the gold standard. This they are doing
very cleverly. AS soon as silver is COM
pletely dethroned, the additional strin-
gency which such insane legislation will
cause will then be vociferously charged
to the continued existence of the
Mckinley tariff. All hands will
charge upon it, just as they are now
doing upon silver. It is calculated very
shrewdly that while the protectionists,
who are now being used in the fight
against silver, may turn and defend the
tariff, their places will be more than sup
piled with the far western friends of sill
yer who angered at the loss of their in
dustry will turn and assist the free trad
ers in destroying the protectionists who
betrayed them.
While there are many protectionist
gold-standard men, they are not the sort
of goldstandard people who control
Cleveland. He is controlled by the Brit
ish contingent. The New York Times lis
the organ of this element. Great Britain
wants free trade with the United States,
and she also wants the gold standard.
She desires to strike down the manufac-
turing industries in the east in order to
occupy this great market. She desires
to establish the gold standard so as to
increase the burden of the bonds which
we owe to her capitalists. The British
policy is Cleveland's policy. The En-
glishmen are very shrewd international
politicians, and tho ability with which
they have almost conquered the United
States compels admiration. = Denver
Times.

rx.coLLrc1oR |. A. HUGHES.

Special Agent D. D. Spaulding, Of The
treasury department, who had supervi-
sion of the turning over of the
Office Of the collector of internal
revenue by ex-Collector L. A. Hughes to
Collector Shannon, stated that the duty
was an easy one in this instance, as all
the affairs of that Office were in first-class
shape and very satisfactory. This is Ger:
tainly very gratifying, especially when it
