JOHN c. KOCH WlTHDRAWS.

The Republicans of Wisconsin
were surprised Wednesday morn
ing to learn through the Milwau-
kee Sentinel that John C. Koch
withdrew his name as candidate
for Governor. He assigns me
following reasons:
Il reached this decision" he
said, this morning, land though I
did not intend to make it public
for day Or two there is no reason
why it may not be published now.
1t is better, perhaps, that it should
be known at once.
From the first time my name
was mentioned in connection with
the nomination | was confident
that l could be nominated and
elected. | never felt more certain
of that than l did this morning
when l reached the conclusion to
withdraw.
81 suppose I have the same
pride in being honored politically
that other men have, but in my
case I had to weigh my ambitions
against my business interests and
the wishes of my family. There
was another consideration: I
have never been clear in my belief
that it was right for me to resign
the mayoraity to accept another
office. Then | have large business
interests which | cannot afford to
neglect. To have remained in the
field, believed, meant to be away
from my business for at least two
years. I could not afford to do
that because the interests of others,
as we'll as my own interests, would
suffer.
YIELDS TO HIS WIFE'S REQUESTS.
Last, but not least, the mem
bers of my family we're strongly
opposed to my becoming more
engaged in public affairs than I
am now. My wife prefers to rear
our children as those Of private
citizens here in the city where they
were born, and her wishes are
entitled to serious consideration.
IF | felt that my candidacy was
necessary to the success of the
Republican party in Wisconsin
this year | might try to overcome
some of these objections, but do
not feel so. With wise nominations
the party is certain to elect its
ticket by the largest majority If
has had in ten years"

THIRD TERM.

The Madison Democrat has the
following to say about the "third
term" and "roster roosters" of the
present state officers:
The boom the roster roosters
have been attempting to start for
themselves for a third term is
clearly not meeting with great
success. The thing might be fired
with enthusiasm if the attorney
general would have thirty thous-
and copies of his letter to Gen.
Doe printed and bound in
morocco bufing" for free distri-
button. That letter showing how
the law and the public printing
contract might be avoided and the
state plundered Of hundred
thousand dollars more Or less, and
the letter to Gov. Peck, assuring
him that the interests of the people
were perfectly safe, ought to be
printed in sufficient numbers to put
one in every family in the state to
show all the people what model
reformer the attorney general is.
If there is anybody in the state
who does not know who is chiefly
to blame for the shame and dis
grace brought upon the democratic
party in the state by the roster
rottenness such person should
certainly have these two letters Of
the attorney general.

The Tariff Does Rule Wages.

The point SO often disputed by
the Free-Traders that Protective
Tariff does not affect wages, has
been completely annihllated by
the action of Senator Smith OF
New Jersey, who assured the own
ers of the Barbour Flax Mills that
the flax section Of the Tariff should
receive the same Protection as
other textiles. The result was a
resumption Of work at the old rate
of wages, as explained in the fol-
Logging telegram to the New York
Press:
PATERSON, April o.-The strike
at the Barbour flax mills is at an
end. Senator Smith came here
from Washington to-day, and as a
result Of his assurances to the en-
ployers the men were called back
to work. The firm cut wages
fearing the result of a reduction Of
the Tariff on flax.
Senator Smith conferred with
William Barbour and also a com
mittee of the strikers. The con-
ference was short, and at its
conclusion the strike was declared
off.
Senator Smith said he had
looked over the flax Tariff and
could see no reason why it should
not receive the same Protection as
other textiles. He said that if the
firm would pay the hands reason
able amount of wages he would
give his assurance that the other
interests would be looked after Sc
far as the United States Senate was
concerned. Mr.. Barbour at once
replied that the assurance of Mr.
Smith was sufficient for him, and
removed the uncertainty. He said
the proposed 10 per cent reduction
would not be held to, and that the
mills would be thrown open on
Wednesday for work.

The Sugar Trust Scandal.

The charges Of corruption in
the adjustment of the sugar
schedule of the pending tariff bill
are so positive and explicit that
they cannot be dismissed as mere
sensational newspaper gossip. 1t
may be that some of the accused
persons are innocent, and that
others have been influenced by
political rather than pecuniary
considerations; but there is good
reason to believe that systematic
and stupendous wrong has been
perpetrated, that large sums Of
money have been made by specu
lators having advance information
that could have come only from
certain Senators, and that the bill
as it stands is calculated to be
greatly profitable to the Sugar
Trust. It's hardly to be supposed
that this familiar and obnoxious
organization would be thus favored
if it had not in some way specially
commended its interests to the
kindness of the men engaged in
arranging the tariff duties. The
story is that it contributed half a
million dollars to the Democratic
campaign fund in 1892, on an
express promise from the leaders
Of the party that the sugar duty
should be fixed to its satisfaction,
and that said duty has been
manipulated in accordance with
that bargain and in repayment Of
that financial assistance.
This story is SO well supported
by known facts with regard to the
action of the Democratic majority
of the Senate Finance Committee
on the sugar question that the
country will not be satisfied
without thorough investigation
of the matter. The Senators who
are directly implicated in the
alleged abuse of power certainly
can not afford to treat such a
thing with indifference; and those
who are free from suspicion in
the case are equally bound to
insist upon the full and rigid
probing of charges that so
seriously affect the reputation of
the body to which they belong.
If there was no pledge given to
the Sugar Trust in return for its
munihcent campaign contribution,
then the people have a right to
know how the sugar schedule
came to be so arranged as to
guarantee the trust an absolute
and perpetual monopoly, with the
opportunity added to make an
enormous profit by the postpone
ment of the operation of the duty
until next January. 1t will not do
to say that this remarkable advan-
tage is accidental, when so many
other interests are treated with
pronounced hostility. The pref
erence thus shown to the most
grasping and gigantic corporation
in the land will have to be
explained in some way. AS the
affair now stands, the inference OF
conspiracy and corruption is the
only reasonable one; and it is for
the Democratic Senators to show,
if they can, that this idea is
incorrect and uniustihable.

IN TIE TUNNEL.

Without amoment's warning the train
plunged into tunnel.
There is something frightful in this
sudden change from the garish.. light Of,
day to the profound gloom Of Gimme
rian darkness.
The noise of the train that came to the
ear with gentle diffused murmur is
now focused into deafening terrible
roar;hat assails the senses like the mad
dened rush Of John L. Sullivan into the.
field of dramatic art.
The timid traveller, with wide OPEN
eJes straining to pierce the horrible.
gloom, braces himself to meet the shock;
whose coming he feels with that vague,
sense of alarm that is worse than the
absolute foreknowledge of the impend-
Ing danger.
The train plunged on into the dark
ness.
At high noon of the same day Eulet
Meone had welded Glycerine McCurdy'
and tn eblissful pair had started on their
wedding journey.
In one of the crowded cara Of that
train sat Eulet Melone and his lovely
bride.
The many protecting devotion of the
young and tender husband, the seraphic
glow on the cheek Of the gushing artless
bride-these, with the knowledge that
people are rushing bindly into this
kind of thing every day in the year,
moves the thoughtful observer to pen-'
sive reverie.
Were you alarmed, dearest" inquired
Mr.. Malone, after the train had passed
I'M to daylight again.
N not much, Eulet' answered the
blushing bride.
'If,I had not been afraid this tunnel
was short one, Glycerine, I should
have taken advantage of the darkness
and kissed you. my love- he whispered.
Didn't you kiss ME, dear?' exclaimed
the wondering bride. Some one did,,
half dozen times.
He exploded.

THURAlONTL Frederick County, Maryland Thursday Deemb16 1884,

the sayage's shoulders while his right
was bent at the elbow, and the forearm
came under Rainbolt's chin hard up
against the neck.
Ken.on gave one mighty surge and
back went the head Of the copperskinned
gladiator. There was snap and with :
QUO cry or a groan, Rainbolt lay limp
and lifeless in the scouts arms, his neck
broken.
The pioneer had won the battle in an
instant by trick unknown and uusus-
pected by his foe.
With a wild yell Kenton lifted the
limp body of the unfortunate chief and
hurled it into the circle of Indian.
The pioneer followed the body like a
shot from cannon. Down went the
astonished redskins before the blows Of
his hard fists, and with the swiftness of
whig,wind, he broke through the cir
Gle and was dodging away amid the
wigwams.
The savages were quickly in pursuit,
yelling like fends but Kenton was as
fleet of foot as deer, and the darkness
beyond the light of the fires favored
him.
Once savage tried to stop him, but
the desperate scout had caught up a
stone and he beat the redskin down with
it snatching the warriors rife and tom
ahawk.
On be ran. The darkness of the
night covered him, and he was soon in
the depths Of the forest.
The Indians made hot pursuit, but
Kenton was, most expert woodsman,
and as soon as he had gained sufficient
start he set about covering his trail.
This he did so successfully
that he succeeded in reaching
and crossing Buckhorn Creek, from
which he Kept on to the north to the
settlement.
Kenton and GirtY never met after
ward and after this astonishing staying
of Rainbolt and maryelous escape from
the Indian village the pioneer was more
hated and feared than ever by the red
skins.
