An Election shooting serape.

FRESNO, CAL, May 22-During the
Republican primary election yesterday
in Kings county, just over the Fresno
county line, there was a shooting affray
In which James McCaffrey was killed by
j. o. Ryan, and Ryan was in turn shot
in the breast and will hardly recover.
The trouble was on account of Mccall
rey's refusal to let Ryan's boy vote,
claiming that he did not belong to the
district. The particulars of the affair
are meager. 1. is said the shooting was
general, and that at least eight persons
took part In it. Young Ryan, on whose
account the shooting took place, was
shot in the leg a few days ago by man
with whom he had1plcked quarrel.

Little BETTER rhan a sewer.

LONDON, May 23-Truth, in an article
indorsing the Lancet's views on the
Manchester ship canal, makes an un-
measured onslaught upon the work 1t
says: "The canal Is little better than an
open sewer. The water is In filthy con-
dition, receiving, as it does. the sewage
of the city and number of towns, thus
endangerIng the lives OF thousands em-
ployed in its vicinity. Owing to the
filthy state of the canal, the queens voy-
age from liam to Manchester had to be-
abandoned"

TIE FREE SCHOOLS.

A special school meeting will be
held tomorrow afternoon for the pur-
pose of determining "what action the
district will take relative TO reconsid-
ering the vote passed at the last school
meetingfauthoriEing the directors to
build school house and to purchase
land therefor;" also to ascertain what
the district will do towards authoriz.
ing the directors to purchase buildings
and grounds for school purposes, and
to move one or more Of the present
structures to places more convenient
of access to the scholars of the dis
trict." And further, "whether the
district will authorize the directors to
borrow money, not to exceed $4,000, to
pay the expenses to be incurred for
any or ell of the objects stated" =
These matters are of the greatest
Importance, and full representation
Of taxpayers should be present. At
the last meeting the district voted in
favor of erecting school house at q
place of easy access to the residents Of
Thompson's addition; but since that
time the directors have been offered
nearly all the shares of stock of the
Wasco Independent academy as
donation to the district, on the con-
sideration, we understand, that an en-
cumbrance of $2s00 be assumed.
Under these circumstances, it is for
the Taxpayers 70 decide whether the
academy shall be accepted and the
school house now in Gates addition
removed to the site selected near
Thompson addition, or the proffer re-
jected and new edi6ce erected as de-
termined at the annua. nesting.
The grades in our public schools
have been increased to eleven, and
these, with the exception of tuition in
modern languages, will place the sys-
TEN of free education in The Dalles up
to the statutes of what is called the
high school. II the brick building is
secured, the next move will be the in
auguration of the high school system,
and this will be death blow to any
hopes of ever reviving the academy
and making The Dalles the educa-

deputies put the strikers to flight.
Today the situation at Hill Farm
mines, where the company have been
running full force, is decidedly alarm
ing. At 2 o'clock 500 strikers from the
southern end of the region marched to
HilfFarm, and are said to be planning an
attack ON the works. The plants are
guarded by 30 deputies, and conflict
would result seriously. The strikers are
determined to force all the plants to shat
down regardless of the loss of life. Gu
perintendent Kimball, of the Hill Farm
mines, is getting out an injunction to

CLETELAND AND THE SOUTH

The Memphis Appeal-Avala'sche
makes a double-leaded prayer to its
readers that they, all and singular,
shall forever cease from complaint or
abuse of President Cleveland, and shall
Join with it in continued laudation of
his great and glorious policy. For, says
our southern friend and contemporary,
"What is the matter with Grover2
Isn't he all right9 Hasn't he done the
square thing by the southG Isn't Eus-
tbs, .of Louisiana, Ambassador to
Francei Isn't Mckenzie, Of Kentucky,
Minister to Peru2 Isn't Porter, of Ten
nessee, Minister to Chilli ISN'T Oaruth,
of Arkansas, Minister to Portugal2
Isn't Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, in the
Cabinet Isn't Herbert, of Louisiana,
on the supreme ibench2 And hasn't
Grover the Great and Grover the Good
made all these appointments of south
ern meni What more, beloved friends
of the south, do you want2 Isn't this
good showiug9 Let us give thanks +"
Thus, in effect, pleads our esteemed
friend and contemporary.
Not for this world in one entire
chrysolite would we exceed the cour-
tesies of debate says the Inter Ocean.
But we are constrained to say that our
contemporary is talking through its
hat. The southern Democrats are not
complaining Of Cleveland that he has
failed to honor and to reward certain
members of certain "6rst families. "
The southern Democrats-the plain,
tax-paying, ballot-casting part Of them.
we mean-are expressing considerable
want Of affection, oreven of esteem, for
first families" They are of the opin.
ion that 'sfrst families have had their
inning. and that the plain people, who
hitherto have been kept running after
the ball, ought to have chance at the
bat. This is what is the matter in the
south just now, and, in our mind. it is
a very healthy sign that il is what is
the matter.
The rank and file Of the south are
dissatisfied with Cleveland because he
has done nothing that they wanted
him to do. They demanded sfree and
unlimited coinage Of silver" and Mr..
Cleveland has shown himself to be the
EXTREMIST of all gold standard presi-
dents. They demanded the suppress
sion of trusts, and Mr.. Cleveland has
intrigued and bullied and traded most
shamefully for the passage of tariff
bill that is framed for the special BEN
eft of trusts. They inherit the old
love Of tht Monroe doctrine and the
old hatred Of royal governments on
the American continent that gave ro-
nance and sentiment to the old.time
southern flibustering expeditions
against Cuba. Mr.. Cleveland has
been the affectionate champion of the
negro-blooded queen Of Hawaii
These are q few Of the causes that
make Mr.. Cleveland unpopular with
the plain voters Of the south. His ap-
pointment of q dozen, or of q score, of
members of "6rst families" are not
regarded as atonement for his failures.
In point of fact, the president is all
right with the southern oligarchs, and
because he is all right with them he is
out of touch with the southern people.

against the oligarchs.

Sheriff Burdge and Deputy Sheriff

Sunday afternoon for the three men who
robbed the St. Marys postoffice last Fri
day night and secured 81, 100
About o'clock q telegram was received
from st. Marys saying Look out for
three men in a red boat, going down
Kaw river" The telegram gave descrip-
tiOns of the men and said they weres the
postoffice robbers. This telegram was
received by Chief of Police Lindsey and
was turned over to the sheriff
Sheriff Burdge made some hasty in
quiries and learned from Mrs. Fred
Fensky that the men had gone past the
Kansas avenue bridge before dinner.
The officers took the Union Pacific
train to Lawrence. Nobody there had
seen the men or the red boat in question,
but Sheriff Hindman promised to watch
the dam for them. Several Lawrence offic-
ers accompanied Burdge and Wilkerson
back to Lecompton on a hand car. The
man who runs the ferry there had not
seen them, but promised to notify the
sheriff if he saw them. Nothing has
been heard from the three men in the
red boat yet, but it is improbable that
they can ever get past Lawrence.

Rev w. L. Byers of the North Congre-

Interested in the Coxey fever. He has
been preaching a series of sermons on
David and His Times" and his sermon
yesterday morning was directed to dis
cussion Of the ancient commonweal army
and the preseAE Coxey one.
He contrasted the unrest of the pres
emit and the unrest of Israel in Ssups
time, and then likened the struggling
army Of David to Coxey's army. He
found both likeness and differences be-
tween them. Being discontinued, in dis
tress, and longing for better times they
were like the Coxey crowd. Having
loyal patriotism for country. being will
ling to work at whatever came to them,
and being trustful of Goo they were
somewhat unlike the G KEY army.
They came to David drawn by the
twOfold cord of common suffering, and
faith in his leadership. They fought for
nothing for themselves and their only
object seemed to be the perpetuity and
happiness of the nation
In closing, the pastor said: "What we
need in these times of unrest and dlsq ulet
is to hear the voice of the Son of Man
saying, Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden and l will give you
rest When the teachings of Jesus are
lived in the earth, when the armies of
the discontinued aud burdened rally to
him, when wealth and poverty alike
hear the voice of the Nazarene no army
of the commonweal will need to march
in discomfort on Washington and no
shallow leaders will gain notoriety by
leading men to what they know not"

for Populist State Convention.

The sentiment of the members of the
Populist state central committee in ses-
sion here today is somewhat divided as
to the place of holding the state conven-
ton. Salina has heretofore been the
only candidate. but Topeka is this after o.
noon in the lead. The impression seems
to be that either Salina or Topeka will
be named before the committee adjourns
The hotel facilities offer a good argu-
ment for Topeka.
There is no doubt but that a large
convention will be held, the representa-
ton being based on the vote of Secretary
of State Osborn. It will be larger than
that of two years ago and will contain
between 600 and 800 delegates.

CALLS 1T A GANG.
The Breach Between Willis and the Pop

i
uIist Administration.
John F. Willis, the first Populist can
didate for governor, today exposed the
condition of affairs in his party. He
says the machine has got control of the
state alliance and is using all its power
to defeat the wishes of the common
people in the party who are true re-
formers.
Mr.. Willis was in Topeka few hours
today and left this afternoon for tour of
the state of Iowa.
To STATE JOURNAL reporter he said:

down every man who opens his mouth,

s'It was however not very long after
wards, about two weeks ago now, that

in which he informed me that owing
to the depleted condition of the state
alliance treasury he would be compelled
to inform me that my services as organ
izer and lecturer would have to be dis
pensed with.
This was in face of the fact that I
had been wonderfully successful in
building up the alliance, and had taken
the state treasury 81 each in addition to
the ten cents per capita tax which goes
to the national alliance.
Governor Lewelling and the machine
have firm grasp on the throat of the
state alliance and are determined to
grind down every individual who fights
them.

JOE SMITH CASE.
The Defendants' Attorneys Try to Throw
Him Out of Court.

EMPoR1A, April 23.-The First N ational
bank w. A. Randolph, Waldo Worster,
ct al, who were sued for $4,000 DANA
ges by Joe Smith, have answered
through their attorneys L. B. 81 ]. NJ.
Kellogg and Madden Bros.
The answer asks that the case be dis
missed because Smith failed to give bond
for cost and also failed to file a poverty
affidavit.
Smith did make affidavit that by rea-
son of his poverty he could not pay costs,
but he swOre to the fact last October and
did not file his suit until March. Accor-
dinghy the attorneys for the defence
think he might not be pauper now.
On account of Judge Randolph being
a party to the action, the case will prob
ably be sent to Chase county for Judge
Earle to try
