TE1E TARIFF m s1's PLACE.

M Il. hNkkRE IN HIS taLAt'iJ.
Senator PETER got the floor from
Senator Stewart and, though his
position of GIG to l or nothing"
cannot be deemed craftsmanship, he
sent one shot into the the Republi-
can position which scattered few
bricks.
"W hat fears,' he asked, "have the
farmers, mechanics and clerks of the
country that manufacturing establish
ments are in danger from the present
administration?'
Senator PETER and his populist
friends have rendered able assis-
tance to the democracy before, in
emancipating the western farmers
from the idea that the prosperity of
the nation was dependent upon a
bunch of protected manufactures.
The republic has not been slow to
point out the errors of the populist
platform, and sees now in the agita.
tion of third party the most dan
gerous impedimcnt to a settlement
of the financial troubles. No demo.
cratic newspaper, however, would
reach the full measure of It's duty if
it did not credit to the peoples
party an important share in the now
accomplished task of burying the
bloody shirt and ending the period
of increasing tariffs.
-Peffer hit the republicans hard
They are getting up new campaign
on the expectation of convincing
enough voters that fear of tariff
changes is the cause Of stringcncy
Garry his questions a little further
Why are the republicans speaking
in favor Of unconditional repeal OF
the Sherman act if the tariff is at
the bottom Of the this summers
scare? Why are the republican
bankers Of New York and Boston
writing all over the country against
silver? Why did not the trouble
begin in the manufacturing dis
tricts?
The stringency is partly due to
the tariff, but not to expected tariff
changes. The Mckinley act has
put US under trade disadvantages,
and it lost us during the years of
short crops in Europe the richest
opportunity to reap profits from
agriculture and trade we have en-
joyed since the Crimean War.
Never mind that now. The
required tariff changes are in pre-
paration. Chairman Wilson and
his committee will have bill
ready before long that will look
to distribution and sale of products
And it will be passed and signed
before the next wheat crop is planted
Currency settlement is on hand this
month. The country may not fully
estimate the relative Importance o1
what has caused the squeeze, but il
has resolved that something il
wrong. Having the opinion o1
every political leader on every side
that the Sherman act is wrong, it Ii
justified in demanding that tht
policy of bullion purchases be sup
planted with a legitimate money
system.

ANOTHER MURDER .
A Night Watch at Mayville,
N. D., Shot by a Gang
HousebreakerS.,
THE MURDERER CAUGHT
The City Filled with Men Who
Want to Lynch the
Perpetrators.


MAYv1LLE, Sept. s. Especial
Telegram. At 1850 a. M, today
the citizens of Mayville were awaken
ed from their slumbers by two dis
tinct pistol shots, followed by the
gurgling sound Of "murder." This
in return was followed by sharp
crack of rifle, then silence prevail
ed. The cause of the disturbance was
soon learned, as lying in a pool of
blood with his brains scattered in
all directions was found the body
Of Evan Paulson, night watchman
of the Mayvllle police force, shot in
two places, and lying by his side
was his faithful dog keeping watch
over him. Great excitement pre-
vailed. Among the first to arrive
on the scene was 0. N. Anderson,
deputy sheriff, Detective George
Kilgore of the Great Northern de-
tective service and Marshal Pete
Grinager of the Mayville police
force. Under the supervision of
Detective Kilgore all armed posse
was organized and sent in all direc-
tons to scour the surrounding
country and advise the farmers
to keep good lookout forstrangers.
They then made careful investi-
cation of the immediate vicinity and
found the cold blooded murderer had
broken into r. L. Kenny q Co.'S
warehouse, and is supposed being
caught in the act Of stealing they
killed the night watch to escape
detection. A cry was here raised
that man had crawled under the
station, and sure enough James
Kelly was pulled out by the angry
citizens and rushed to the jail to
save lynching. This proved to be a
favorable arrest, as later Winches-
ter rifle Of forty-four calibre was
found near his hiding place which
turns out to be the weapon that
killed Evans Paulson. Suspicion
at once was directed now to William
Lowe, employed here as butcher,
and on examining his room some
of the stolen stuff was found, which
implicated him. He was arrested
soon aften and taken to private
room in the Mayville house, where
he confessed being participant IN
the cold blooded and atrocious deed
duplicating by his confession James
Kelly who, Lowe says fired the
rifle shot. The excitement now be-
came intense, and angry and sullen
scowles were pictured on every face.
1t being noised around that the
murderer was captured, it soon
spread to the surrounding country
places, and it being such a cold
blooded deed the city soon became
filled with out side people. 1t is
said an attempt was made to lynch
the murderers but was frustrated by
the cooler heads. Groups of men
are seen congrsgating now on the
different corners and consulting in
low tones and using forcible
language with determined look or
their faces. Sheriff Seaver of Hills
boro is here. The city is filled with
wild rumors, one of which is thai
before the coming morn the VILLAINS
will meet their justice fate. The
A. o. U. w. society has taken
charge of the remains and Paulsor
will be buried under their super
vision.
