Crawford, Neb., is becoming famous
for robberies. On the 9th instant the
b. < NJ. and Elkhorn offices were rob-
bed in broad day light, while the agents
were at dinner, and three days later on
the 18th, at a quarter to o'clock in the
afternoon, the Crawford Banking COM
pany was the scene of similar proceed
ing, resulting in loss of 81 800 of the
funds of that institution. The latter
robbery was effected by the usual
method of holding up the official in
charge with a six shooter, which in this
instance was very gracefully done by a
cowboy, who, after gobbling up the geld,
rode leisurely away. He had rendered
his escape more certain by locking up
the bank official in the vau.t as pre-
cautionary measure before his departure.
The robber is described as follows:
Five feet, eleven inches in height. dark
hair, heavy dark mustache, short beard
dark, soft hat, dark coat, light pants,
high heeled boots, and about 80 years
OF age.

fishes letter from L. K. BRAZIL, Of
Johannesburg, South Africa, written TO
friend in Seattle, under date of Jan.
%, 1894, from which the following is

Ia foreman in a mine. Ny pay is SIS

CLAIMS HELD WITH PENCIL.
The Casper Tribune has the following,
which is applicable to many mining dis
trcts outside of Wyoming There lies
in the capabilities of Wyoming a pos
aible first place among the mineral states
What We do need for the development
Of our resources is new blood and we
have room for an army of capable men.
In the mining industry we want men
that will work. and know how TO devel-
op mining lands. At present the state
is loaded down with fends, men who
endeavor to stake country all out and
not dollar or days work in develop
ment. Cheyenne needs lesson in this
line, many citizens having staked out
numerous claims and done nothing
worthy of the name in the way of show
ing up mineral. What does this hold
| ing claims result in? II keeps out
workingmen who will take hold and
turn the wheels, find the ore and not
guess at it. The majority of the mining
claims held in Laramie county are held
| by men who merely hold their claims
| with a pencil, sit down and wait for a
sucker, and he would be indeed sucker
who would pay the fancy prices asked
for their claims with no development
work done on them. Clean ont the
fields, pull up the stakes when no work
has been done fully up to the require
ments of the law, let new blood come in
and 20 to work and the land boom will
be fully equalled by the mining boom

CHILDISH REASONING.
Faulty Fabrications of the Irratlona
High Tariff Advocates.

Faulty Publications of the Irrational
High Tariff Advocates
1t is childish for the advocates of
high protection to insist that every
thing that is prosperous in this coun-
try comes from the operation of q high
rate of duties, while nothing that is
inimical to the general interest is to be
traced to the same cause. OF course
this is intended for deception, but it
cannot deceive any man with an
ounce of brains in his Uranium. The
rate of wages has been proportionate-
ly to the rest of the world as high
under low tariff here as under a
high tariff. The rate Of wages in
Europe is highest OF all in the coun-
try where the rate of duties is the
lowest. These are facts which alone
upset all pretenses that wages are de-
pendent upon tariffs. We have a dis
tressingly depressed condition for the
wage earners in our country now,
and it is under the highest tariff the
country ever had. Who doubts that if
the condition of affairs We're the re-
verse, and labor were largely called
for, it would be claimed that the tariff
had done it all? There is little en-
ployment, and therefore we are asked
to believe that the existing tariff has
nothing to do with it. This is child
ish reasoning. But if the protec-
zionist is right, that high duties
are justifiable and are necessary
for the prosperity of any indus
try affected by them, then he is
clearly wrong in denying that duties
shall be placed on labor that is intro
duced into the country. Certainly the
American laborer should not be the
only person in the country not permit
ted to share in this asserted blessing.
We can readily see how it is possible to
overstock the labor market, because
all Europe affords an instance of it to-
day, and this is the real cause of the
low wages that generally prevail there.
The advocates of that protection that
puts duties on everything asking for
them, except the imported laborer, are
doing every thing in their power to
bring our country to the same condi-
ton, and are directly responsible for
any Objectionable immigration or sur
plus of labor that the country may
now have The laborer who suffers
from cOmpetltlOn may we'll pear ms
in mind. But ours is q new country,
and it will take many years to bring
us into a condition where there is a
permanent surplus OF labor. We must
rely upon this fact, and not upon the
tariff for upholding the price of labor
here We can bear imported produc-
ton, and meet it by exported produc-
ton, without the laborer or anyone
else suffering, if those people who I'M
dertake to interfere with the natural
laws of trade in order to provide spe-
cial privileges for few rich people
will let us alone. That is the real
philosophy Of the present situation

CHAPTER NV.-CoNTINUED.
Once more at homo, she found her
darling coavolcsrcnt. and-hcr thrilling
story told, with ceTasin reservations
Carolyn Clay bent ell her energy, and
every resource of tonics ard medicines
she brought, to curing her boy. And
two days showed wondrous improve
ment in the yellow, shrunl1en little
form under her care.
Two days more brought great news,
and that sensitive scale, the heart of 4
patient-waiting nation, that went UP
with lightest hope or sank heavy under
doubt and disaster, danced airily under
touch of a great cavalry victory.
Spite of the bitter weather, federal
cavalry had massed above Washington,
had crossed the Potomac, three thou
sand in the saddle, ard silently and
Swiftly forced march, that dropped
man and horse by the way-bore down
upon Stuart's advance. This the fed
eral general knew to be less than one
third his own numbers; and supposing
it entirely unwarned, he hoped to sweep
it aside and ride on gayly to the capture
of the devoted capital.
Advancing securely, though cautious
", the skilled tactician suddenly found
himself opposed by the smaller forces,
intrenched on vantage ground and
ready to join battle.
Furiously the fight had ragged; but at
last the invading force was hurled back,
broken, decimated, but stubbornly con-
testing every foot OF his retreat. This
much only was known at the capital; 1t
was a great, if resultless, victory, but
one bought by the blood of many gal
liant fellow.
And soon in it's train-as in that of
many another of these indecisive killings
came sequele. sad enough to dim the
glory of victory-to shadow, as with a
pail, those stricken homes whose prop
or darling had been yielded as it's price!

They told me at the first stopping
place to inquire for family named
Bristol, and at five o'clock in the after
noon I reached the hamlet and soon
discovered that Mr.. Bristol was a ''jus-
tice of the peace in and for the said
county" Heowas a man about fifty
years Of age, and, though he could
have raked in many a fat fee by en-
couraging his neighbors to go to law,
he did not believe in what he called
''fussing around" We had an instance
of it while sitting on the porch after
supper. A negro came up on the run
and very much excited and said:
"Mars Bristol, can't stand dis yere

me down an walked all ober me!'
"Let's see. Your name is Abraham
