If the Republican party Is to regain
the confidence Of the country in 1896,
SAYS the Huper's Hieekiy, it must have
principles, and if in nOminates man
who is 'siest candidate" its present
hope is more than likely to be turned to
bitter disappointment
The country Is not aroused against
the Democratic party because 1t has de-
creased some tariff duties. The Repub-
lican who deceives himself by thinking
so will remain in darkness of past
out of which the half performance OF
the Democratic party in 1890 and lS'2
showed clearly that the people nave
made up their minds that tariff taxes
shouId be reduced. and that raw ma
terials should toe placed on the free list.
The people Of the United States are not
the feeble minded children that some
Republican politicians have assumed
| them to be. and they are not in the ha-
bit of rebelling against the party which
they have placed in power because II
| keeps the promises on the faith OF
| which it succeeded The country ls
enraged against the Democratic party
because it has not fully carried out It's
! pledges, because it has been dominated
| bv the same influences that have for
wears controlled the Republican party.
| especially in the framing of the Mchln-
| ey act. and because whate yer there has
| been of good intention, sound principle.
| and morality in the Democratic party
has been made of no avail by the cor
ruption, greed, and protectionism which
have been permitted to rule.
What the people of this country want
| is an end of the domination OF trusts
and monopolies that have obtained their
power through protective tariffs. They
| want more rather than less reform Of
the tariff They want less of the COM
munism that employs the taxing power
of the government for the enrichment OF
the sugar trust on the one hand, and
for leyying ON the incomes of the thrifty
on the other They want loss expert
menting with their currency, large
majority of the intelligent and controll-
ing members of the community knows
ing that the tendency OF all this Is to
| drag the United States down to the
financial level of China and the weakest
and most hopeless of the South Ameri-
can countries.

Prepared His Own Execution.

Caddo, Indian Territory, September
25.-Jim Allen, full blooded Choctaw
Indian, about 24 years of age, was shot
to death yesterday at the Pushmataha
court grounds in Jackson.
Allen walked with a steady step from
the jail to the court house, distance Of
30 yards, handcuffed, and knelt down
by his coffin and offered up a prayer
He pulled off his coat and hat, rolled
open the bosom of his shirt and painted
a small heart about the size of a quarter
of dollar over his own neart and ltook
his seat on lemon box. He sat in
that position just 80 minutes. When
the hour arrived, Deputy Sheriff Bob
Jackson shot him through the heart.
In eight minutes life was extinct.
Allen killed Dixton Hewter, a Choc-
taw, who was a witness against Allen on
charge of theft. The murder oc-

The Philadelphia Inquirer in an arti-
Gle on crops and business, is forced to
admit that ga decided improvement Is
shown as compared with the not distant
past. 1t is estimated that so per cent.
of the iron making capacity of the
country is in operation, 90 per cent of
the cotton mills. Manufacturers and
consumers alike have adjusted their af-
fairs to the new tariff, as far as this can
be done, and the unfavorable develop
ments that were feared have not come
to pass. The production of pig iron on
September l is given as Isl, ,113, tons
per week, as against 115, 500 IONS in
August, and the entire output is going
into consumption. In the first half OF
September northern cotton mills have
taken u, 359 bales of cotton, against
7,101 in the same time last year, and
the consumption of southern mills has
been as great as it was. Despite the
check to the dry goods trade, the mills
are well employed. Likewise shoe man
ufacturers are doing a much larger bus
iness than last year, as stocks in dealers
hands everywhere are low, and this in
spite of an advance in the price of leath-
err For this much, at least, let us be
thankful

JUDGE GIBBONS, of Chicago, in a de
cision which ordered a judgment of
custer against the whisky trust, laid
down the principle that corporations
MAY flourish and expand, but compe
tition and individualism must be neith-
er thwarted nor crushed" Should this
doctrine be affirmed by the higher
courts of Illinois and the United States,
as seems probable, it would not only
end the life OF the whisky
trust, but the existence of all the
many other combinations in re-
straint of trade which have derived a
corporate existence from the respective
states.

A PROCLAMATION was issued on Tues
day by superintendent of public instrnc-
tion Schaeffer recommending the OBJ
servance of October 10 as autumn arbor
day and earnestly urging teachers and
superintendents to adopt suitable pro-
gram of exercises, including the plant
of one or more trees. He also recon-
mends that attention be drawn to the
fact that it is best to plant native trees
and that the young people should be
taught that it is better to plant the elm
in damp soil, the white oak and the su-
gar maple in richer, drier soil, than it is
to plant the too short-lived horse chest
nut or the silver maple which is too weak
for its enormous size. When tree plant
ing is impossible Superintendent Schaef-
fer says the observance of the day need
not be ommitted.

IT is many years, says he New York
HeraId. since the business horizon was
free as at present from portentOus
clouds. From the enactment of the
Sherman law in the summer of 1890 and
the Barring panic in the following No
vember until the New tariff became
operative few weeks ago the country
was subjected to an unparalleled series
of disturbing and destructive influences,
but the obnoxious measure which was
undermining the foundations OF the cur
rency was repealed a year ago and the
tariff agitation that Immediately sue
ceeded it has resulted in the new law
With sound currency and a settled ba-
sis for trade and manufactures the way
is prepared for a sound aud lasting re-
vival of prosperity. After the period of
storm and stress through which the peO-
pie have passed it would be absurd to
expect such a revival Immediately. The
country is convalescent, but it needs
time to recover its full strength. That il
is growing stronger day by day, however,
admits of no question, and, as capital
lists and investors and merchants and
manufacturers become convinced of
this fact, progress toward prosperity will
increase in a geometrical ratio.

DecapItated by a Car.

Philadelphia, September 25.-The 3
year-old son of Morris Gleckman, of 626
South Fourth street, was decapitated be-
fore his eyes by a trolley car to night.
The child had just been given few pen
nies to buy cakes with, and girl friend,
he was trudging across the street to a
grocery. The car was coming south
ward when the two were in the middle
of the street. Look out, look out,
shouted Gleckman, who stood on the
sidewalk, and was watching the child
run. The scream of his father fright
ened the little fellow and he became con
fused and stood still. The girl managed
to jump from the track just in time, but
little Abraham was struck, the car
wheels completely severing his head
and both arms from the BODY.

Business Getting Brisk.

Harrisburg Pa, September 25.-In-
dustries are humming again with more
than their old time briskness. In the
iron and steel plants the prospects for
fall work are very promising, the Loch-
iel, Paxton and Central rolling mills be-
ing on double turn. In the Pennsvl-
vania Steel Works, at Steelton, three
furnaces are in blast, with special activ-
ity in the bridge, construction and frog
departments. The American tube and
iron company's Middletown plant was
at work on double turn in nearly every
department.
The last semi monthly pay roll of the
Steelton works footed up SS1, 200, a
large increase over the previous one.
The woolen mills at New Cumberland
are running day and night, and the
wages of its employees have been increas-
ed 10 per cent.

The enormous number ef 5S7 sugar
growers in Louisiana are going to join
the Republican party. They are head
ed by ex Governor Warmoth, which
raises the suspicion that the most of
them are not new converts. This is the
total number of people in the state of
Louisiana engaged in sugar growing.
Last year they received S11, ia 29O in
bounties from the United States treasu-
ry, an average of $19, 1875, &c each. But
for the passage of the hew tariff act they
would have received S23, coo, 900 bounty
this year, or an average of $40, 900
each. These individuals offer to make
Louisiana Republican state if the su-
gar bounty is restored. Not a much
stronger argument than this can be
produced in favor of the new tariff, nor
could there be more scandalous ex-
posure of the corruption of the McKin-
ley tariff.

\ HARRISBURG dispatch: says the
swindling operations of building and

orders for the closing down at once Of
one-half of the refinerieS under its CON
troll, and next week the rest of the re-
fineries will he ordered to shut down.
This action is taken because of the large
amount of refined sugar on hand, and

of the new tariff. This will mean put,
ting 10000 men out of work. Mr..
Havemeyer says the company has been

government station, reports that from nine
to fifteen pounds of increase in the live
weight Of swine are obtained per bushel
of frozen wheat; this being the result of
actual experiments. Under favorable con
ditions in quality and age Of the swine,
with hogs at 5 cents per pound, the frozen
wheat Melted 70 cents per bushel. Actual
experiments show that young pigs thrive
better, and take on more flesh with sweet
than sour milk.
Within the past few years a market for
the hogs of Minnesota and both of the Da-
kotas has sprung up at our very door. We
refer to South st. Paul. At this place over
$2,500.00O have been expended in the CON
sCruction of immense packing houses for
both hogs and cattle, and the stock yards,
also located there.
During the past year more than 100000
hogs have been bought and packed for all
parts of the United States and Europe, and
the number was less thar One-third of the
requirements.
For the year of 1894 100000 hogs will be
needed to keep these immense industries
busy. The market value of hogs at this
place is at all times equal to the Chicago
market, with the freight deducted. With
all of these advantages of food, climate and
market. there is no good reason why the
farmers of the wheat belt should pldd along
in the old rut. The time for emancipation
is at hand. Let the farmer avail himself
OF the opportunity. Diversity in farming
is the key to success.

A Cheap Steak.

I dined at a small family dinner the 9th
er evening, and the hostess let me into a
secret. We were served with a very nice
broiled steak, and she confided to me that
she only paid IL cents a pound for it. I
then learned for the first time about skirt
or flank steaks. They are located in
the hind quarter of the beef, and the
skirt steak is rather better, as it is near
er the sirloin. They may be cooked in
various ways, broiled, stewed or roasted.
Sometimes they are split in half, filed
with chopped, spiced beef, then rolled up
and pot roasted. They are capital to fry
with onions, and SO per cent is saved there
by on the cost of a porterhouse or even a
sirloin steak.-New York Recorder.
