Fort SCOTT, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE rssi-
dents Of Bronson and Vicinity, q few miles
west Of this city, sre wrought up over the
faot that q number Of thsir citizens
have been swindled out Of cash, stock and
property to the extent of at least te5, 900 by
three sharpers who profess to be the In
ventors Of q washing compound for which
they claimed wonders, and for which they
were selling state and territorial rights.
Many of those who bought territory refuse
to believe that they have been swindled
and think that they have fortune in
sight, but the more conservative Of the
victims now see that they have been played
by professional swindlers, and that the
territory they have purchased has already
been sold several times before.

In their haste 90 use the Senatorial
sugar nuddIe against the Democrats in
some way the Republican OrgaEs are
falling over themselves and making
rather wild aad contradictory assertions
regarding the sugar schedule Of the
Senate bill and the amount OF protec-
tion il would afford the Trust. Tbs
fact Of the matter is, knowing the aver
age reader will not take the time and
trouble 70 figure out the percentage Of
c6fsbiaed specific and al valorem duties
the organs as rule do not hesitate 70
use any figures that suit their purpose.
They sometimes forget having used
one set Of figures, though, and fatty
eontradict them with another.
For instance, the New York Tribune
declared a couple OF weeks ago in Ian
guaze plain and simple that the sugar
trust did not enjoy as much protection
under the present Mckinley tariff as is
vould uader the Senate bill. The Nc
inlsy tariff gives the trust so per cent
ltecti0n, so the Tribune in effect
ed that the Senate schedule afforded
90 per cent protection 10 the trust,

Mr.. Preston n Candidate.

Hinton igfsbf7dsHt Herald.
Ia our announcement column this
week, will be found the announcement
Of Hon. John A. Preston, of Green
brier. as = candidate for the Con
gressioHal nomination Of the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Preston halls from
our nelghboring county, and is gen
tleman Of ability and fine character.
We have no disposition 10 fight Mr..
Preston, but would rather support him.
At this particular time, We feel that it
is unfortunate that his name should
60 before the people for
this place. Every one knows
the great importance Of experience in
such q fight as will most likely fall to
our lot this fall Every iair-minded
voter will agree with US that sir. Alder
son is q political leader Of experience
and ability. In this matter of expert
euce-knowledge of the people Of the
district-Mr Anderson has decidedly
the advantage over Mr.. Preston, and
would for that, II for no other reason,
be a more suitable nominee. In this
emergency we think Mr.. Anderson
should be nominated. Mr. Alderson's
services ia Congress cannot be well
spared 10 the State.
