tory will not rank him as i great orator.
In his own field Tom Corwiin was superb
but he either lacked the opportunity or
did not make it, to give the world the
best that was In him. S. s. Prentlss was
an oratoricaI meteor. He famed across
the sky and was gone, but he had the di-
vine gift with all the human failings that
attach. In denunciatory power, biting
scorn and whitening contempt, Wendell
Phillips was wonderful and unap-
preached by any man of his time. Henry
Ward Beccher as an orator Of the first
class stands in the fore front of Ameri-
cans and unsurpassed by many Of the an
clients or moderns. He was a master of
emotion. He said grand things and
might have spoken still better, had not
his splendid genius been cramped by his
environment. It is a great pity that
Beecher wasted so much of his life with
in the narrow and narrowing compass of
the pulpit. Talmage? Who ever accused
Talmage of being an orator; certainly
no person able to define the word or to
appreciate the gift? He is spouter, a
word conjuror. The ventriloquist can
Go some surprising things with his mouth
but that does not make him an orator.
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech is gem,
and Abraham Lincoln in that rose to the
front rank of orators. But it was but
one flight, as brilliant as it Was brief, in
dicatlng the grand possibilities that lay
dormant in the man. No land has had
so many great speakers as America, but
it would be sheer vanity for US to claim
to head the list with our array of great
orators"
"Don't you think, Colonel, that the
printing press has lessoned the field for
oratory, or rather the need for it?' was
my next question.
elias the polychromatic printing press
that turns out millions of reproductions
of a splendid painting, limited the num-
Der of,.artists? OF course not; if anything,
the production of the chrome intensifcs
the desire to see the genuine thing. Peo-
pie are still eager to hear and be thrill
ed by the music of the human voice.
They have read the speeches, and they
yearn to see and to hear the mantle
orator. They want to have their emo
ton stirred. to feel the divine flame and
forgetting the sordid earth for the time,
to soar to heights of dazzling splendor
his wings. As to the suggestion that
the printing press exhausts the orators
th emes it but serves to intensity them
and to prepare the people for the proper
reception Of what he has to say. In

Bro. Tathwell, editor of the Boz
der Breeze, published at Amsterdam,
has this to say of two of the demo
cratic candidates:
The writer, while kid lived for
d number of years in the east part
Of the county, and was acquainted
With, or knew of, several of the can
didates who hail from that part Of
the county. Our recollection of
Stewart Atcheson, democratic nomi.
nee for circuit clerk, who at that
time was just entering on manhood,
is most favorable. A cripple, by acci-
dent while wrestling with br other.
he was not able to engage III the
heavy work of the farm, but was
very studious, aud also exceptionally
handy with tools Of all kinds. He
afterwards learned the harness max
ers trade, and engaged III business
/ at Appleton City. That was about
fifteen years ago. We hear that
since that time he has been engaged
in farming, and has held numerous
local offices, and has filed them to
the entire satisfaction of the people
of his township. We are persuaded
that if elected, Mr. Atcheson will
make a thoroughly trustworthy aud
efficient county official.
John Choat who is our present
representative and the democratic
nominee for the next term, is. we
believe, native of the east part Of
this county. His father was al old
settler and farmed in Spruce town
ship. John attended the Butler
Academy at the same time as we did,
took part in our Literary Society,
was once billed to debate with tle
writer at an exhibition, but for some
reason failed to do so He WAS not
at all brilliant in his recitations but
was close student, aud is probably
qualified to fill the position he holds.
He is now druggist and practicing
physician at JohnstowD. Spruce

WAS made by mutual friends last
week. Oy-Itures were made by
some of Stones i,iei.ds under bis in

Shelby, who made haste to say that
be dIi not cane for reconciliation.
Warden }. l. Z C OF the state pen
itentlary, who was one of General
Shelby subordinate officers in the
confederate service, was entrusted
with the task Of bearing the olive
branch from the governor He came
to Kansas City Friday. n. a. Wade
editor of the Butler Democrat had
so arranged his affairs that he was
here at the same time. Mr.. Wade
has been booming General Shelby
for governor aud the enmity between
his friend and the governor has
caused him to grieve more than once.
With MIR. Wade came MIR. Tygard of
Butler, A. II. Waite, of Joplin was
in town and one or two local sup
porters OF the governor were called
in General Shelby was sent for.
When he arrived Warden Pace told
him of his errand. He assured him
that the governor was willing to lot
the question of state rights rest
where it is and bury the animosities
of the past. General Shelby was as
sured that democratic ticket with
his name at the head for governor
would sweep the state at the next
election. He was reminded that in
these days Of trial it is well for all
democrats to dwell peacefully with
one another.
The party fell to slate making and
did not forget to mention Col. Pace
as suitable man for state auditor.
General Shelby, the story goes,
studied for minute, concluded that
there was q scheme behind it and
then broke out, prefacing his remark
with a big round oath.
II am not Governor Stone friend
and don't lend my name or help
to advance anything that Cockrell
wants Then he left the room.

"Stone wanted to use me for cats,
paw He would like to have me to
say l was his friend and talk govern
or to me to get into the good grace
of my friends I'm too old man
to be caught by any su ch bait as
that"
A politician said yesterday that
Stone is figuring to get Francis out
of the way to give him a possible
show for the senatorial honors, or at
least chance to appear as control
ling Missouri Democrats in the next
national convention. The first step
in that direction is to conciliate
Shelby. The news that Col. Pace
was able to carry back to his chief
yesterday morning was far from en-
couraglng.

BANDITS NEAR CHICAGO.
Masked Outlaws Hold Up 4 Freight
Tram and Commit Il Series Of
Desperate Crimes

Chicago, Aug. 25.-When north
bound freight on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul road stopped at
1920 last night at Deer6eld, sub
urban village just over the Lake
county line, two masked men mount
ed the steps of the caboose. The
brakeman were we'll toward the en-.
CINE. which was in charge OF En-
gineer Pritchard, and only Conduc-
tor Sargent and Road Detective Pat.
Owens were in the caboose.
The masked men covered the con
ductor and detective with revolvers.
The detective sprang for his rifle,
but before he could reach it one of
the robbers shot him through the
breast. The conductor then threw
up his hands and the robber who
had done the sh ooting went through
his pockets, taking his watch and a
small amount of money. Afterward
he searched the detectives clothes
for valuables and left the train just
before the brakemen, who had heard
the shot, came running back.
The bandits cut across country to
the Mayfair depot on Holcomb ave,
nue. and there boarded freight
train. There special Officer Patrick
McGrath of the Chicago & North
western road attempted to arrest
them. but was shot three times.
One bullet struck him in the left
arm, another entered his body and
the third struck him near his heart,
but was diverted by a penholder in
his pocket.
PURSUED By A GREAT CROWD.
The bandits then hastened out
Holcumb avenue to Lawrence ave
nue.. On the way they met farmer
in wagon on the way to the city.
1t was but "A moments work to throw
him out and take possession of his
vehicle. With horses to draw them
the thieves made better time and
they were soon on their way through
Lawrence avenue to Milwaukee ave,
nue.
BY this time that part of the
country was in a turmoil. Boys and
men on ponies and horses hastily
saddled were in the chase after the
desperadoes. Out Milwaukee aye
nue. galloped the robbers in the
wagon, while behind them clattereo
the horses of the pursuers. Behind
these again came a patrol wagon al
full speed in which We're four police
men.
The pursued men kept on ou
Maynard load for three miles, whe'
the horses gave out and they took t.
Orchard Place woods on the Des
PLANES river, south of the Higsin:
road, and ran under bridge, wher'
they drove back their pursuers Will

suited the men escaped to the woods
where they were soon surrounded b.

CAPTURED AFTER FIERCE FIGHT.
Three miles from where the farm
or who was named Eggersten was
held up, his team and wagon were
found by the city officers. The wag
on had broken down aud been aban-
donod by the desperadoes. Both of
the horses were completely exhaust
cd. The officers traced the fugitives
to corn field, through. which they
ran and score of policemen took
up the trail.
The desperadoes were finally cap.
tured in the woods in Elk grove
township about noon by FIVE Chicago
policemen. They gave their names
as Will Lake and w. F. Gordon.
The arrest was was preceded by a
veritable battle The robbers were
we'll armed, and when call from
scouting party revealed their where.
a)outs they made determined
stand. Cooking their revolvers the
two men waited until their pursuers
were in veiw and then opened fire
1t was returned by the officers and
volley after volley was exchanged,
apparently with little effect.
1t is probable that the men would
never have been taken alive had it
not been that their supply OF ammu,
nition was short As their. took of
cartridges dwindied away the des
peradoes shot more carefully and
less frequently, but the officers kept
themselves we'll covered until at
last the mems bullets were exhaust
ed. The officers called upon them
to surrender, but without noticing
the command the fugitives turned
and began frantic race for safety.
BOTH DEsPERADoEs YOUNG MEN.
The officers followed, firing as they
ran. The chase continued until LAX g
who was in the lead was struck by
a bullet. Throwing up his hands
he turned partially around and fell
and moment later his companion
dropped, also wounded. The par
suers quickly closed in on tue fallen
men and handcutfed them. Within
few moments the prisoners were
carried toward the railroad station
and were soon brought into the city
and locked in the West Chicago
Avenue police station.
Lake who is "A year old. was shot
in the neck and his recovery is
doubtful. Ee admitted killing the
conductor and policeman, saying
that he did the shooting IN both
cases. The conductors watch and
other stolen yaluables were found
upon the man.
Gordon, who is ~ years old. was
dangerously wounded, although two
bullets had struck him.
The men refused to give n,y iufor
nation regarding their identity. but
their appearance Indicated that bott
were tough characters. The polio,
were inclined to the opinion tha
both had seen railroad severice, bu
this they denied.

DEFER TO THE MAJORITY.

Senator Hoar, in expressing his re-
sentiment aginst the Coxey army" for
endeavoring to dictate legislation diff
ferent from that desired by a majority
of the people, was a trifle inconsistent
in two directions. First, in his past
support of the clamors of the protected
classes for increased duties in their
special interest, second. in his present
endeavors 10 block The way of the VIII
son bill
In his efforts to favor the capitalists
and corporations from session to ses-
sion and particularly in their dictation
Of the Increased duties of the McKin-
ley law, Senator Hoar was not consult
ing the wishes CT the $1,000 900 of people
which he talks about, but the will and
desires and interests of a small minor
ity of the people.
And now. after the majority of the
voters Of the United States have de-
clared their will in the way the Sena-
tor admits is the only legitimate man
ner Of its expression, he and his Re-
publican associates are not conforms
ing to that will but doing their utmost
to prevent its accomplishment Three
several times-the last in most en-
phatic manner-the voice of the people
mas been raised at he polls in demand
of tariff reform, and against the pro-
tective policy and high tariffs of the
Republican party And vet he and that
party are resisting TO the utmost that
which the people have voted for
It may be that what they want does
not commend itself TO the judgment of
the Senator. lie may strongly dissent
from their opinion He may conscien-
tiously believe they are mistaken But
in his criticism of the Coxey movement
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-05-09

he says: certainly no body Of men
less than a majority Of the entire peo-
pie can call upon us TO act otherwise
than in accord with our own judg-
ments." Just So And what greater
evidence could he want, that reform
os the tariff and its arrangemnt on the
line of revenue purposes only is de-
manded by majority of the entire
people, than the House, Senate, and
President chosen by the people to make
these reforms?
On his avn argument. then, Senator
Hoar should bend his own judgment
to conform to the call of the majority
and do his best to forward the measure
framed by the men elected TO do their
bidding. And every time he lifts his
voice or uses his influence to block
the way of this needed legislation. he
acts in direct opposition to the princi-
pie he has himself laid down as a
proper guide to one of the servants of
the people. CoXeyism and Republican,
ism are twigs on the same bush.

WITH OR WITHOUT.

The New York Times, which has been
very much opposed 10 the income tax
proposition. is coming round to the
point of consent in its desire to see the
tariff question settled. It says:
But with or without the income tax
pass the tariff bill. The income tax is
a transitory Populist fancy. 1t will
not continue in force three years The
reform OF the tariff is a work of endur-
ing necessity, OF permanent benefit to
the country. The accomplishment of
that work would more than anything
else that legislation can do, promote
the return Of prosperous times.
We will take ours with if the Times
pleases, and that is the taste of the ma
jority of the Democratic party. 1t is
one of the best favoring elements of
the Wilson bill. Nothing that has been
said against it amounts to a striking
objection. The notifications made in
the original proposition met the argu-
ments raised by many persons and in
its present form it is an equitable and
easy method of raising revenue.
1t is opposed by the wealthy, of
course They escape a great deal of
taxation which they should lawfully
pay by evading the assessment Of per
Isona1 property. And many of them have
amassed their riches by means OF that
taxation of the many for the benefit of
the few which goes by the name of pro-
lection. The great opposition to the
income tax comes from the supporters
of the high tariff theory. There are
some Democrats who do not favor it,
but they are few in comparison TO its
supporters in the party.
The New York World regards the
opposition Of the rich to the payment
of tax which would be so small a
burden that it would be scarcely felt,
as unwise and unfortunate when there
are so many taxpayers who have no
income at all and it says very sensibly:
The rich men of the country are
losing a great opportunity and taking
a wholly needless risk. They are Tefu5-
ing the chance TO disarm the forces of
discomfort. They are deliberately af-
fronting poverty by objecting to pay
their part of the taxes that bear heav-
lily upon the people, though the part
they are asked to bear is SO easy that
the burden would scarcely be felt at
all. They are creating in mems minds
a ranking sense of injustice. They are
playing into the hands of vicious theor-
lists who preach socialism and worse
They are committing a stupendous
blunder.
The tariff bill must be passed with out
much further delay. It must also in
clude the income tax. 1t is encouraging
to see the opponents of the latter will
ing TO yield SO that the main measure
shall prevail and we hope that they
will yet come to the conclusion that
it will be far better with than without
the provision for the income tax.
