WAsHTNGToS. Oct. 16-Another com
plication has arisen regarding the free
alcohol section of the new tariff law.

preparation, is unable to put the law

secretary's decision, it is contend
ed that alcohol used in the arts.

OF alcohol in medicine and the arts
want to know were they violating the
law IN removing the revenue stamps
from the empty barrel. If they were
not they will have no evidence upon
which to base claims against the gov
eminent for the return of duty paid
since the law went into effect. On the
other hand, as the law now stands.
they are liable to heavy penalties, for
not destroying the stamps when the
barrels are empty.

MoKULUMNE HILL, CAL Oct. 10
George and James Lipp. aged 10 and II
respectively, were horribly mutilated
and proba bly, fatally injured yesterday
by the explosion of a box of giant
powder caps. It was not known how
the accident occurred, but a man
named Gold saw the boys coming
down the road locked arm in
arm, staggering from side to
side and uttering fearful shrieks.
At first he thought they were
drunk, but on their nearer approach
discovered their horrible condition.
The left hand of James was torn to
shreds, necessitating amputation. His
eyesight was destroyed and his head,
face and upper part of his body filed
with fragments of metal from cap
shells and the metal box in which they
were contained. George was mang1ed
about the head. One eye was gone and
he will lose the sight of the other.
The first and second fingers and
the thumb of the left hand were shot
off. James hand was found near the
place, still holding a half burned cigar
cite. It is supposed that the boys
found the box of caps near the road
and while examining the contents a

THE PEOPLES WANTS.
An End of Protection-Fostered Trust,
and Monopoiies.

An End of ProtectiOn-Fostered Trusts
and NIonopoiies.
If the republican party is to regain
the confidence of the country in 1896
it must have principles, and if 1t nomi-
mates a man who is ''jest a candi-
date its present hope is more than
likely to be turned to bitter disappoint-
ment.
The country is not aroused against
the democratic party because it has
decreased some tariff duties. The re-
publican who deceives himself by
thinking so will remain in the dark
ness of a past out of which the half
performar ce of the democratic party
has brought US. The great majorities
for the democratic party in 1890 and
1892 showed clearly that the people
have made up their minds that tariff
taxes should be reduced, and that raw
materials should be 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 habit of rebelling against the
party which they have placed in power
because it keeps the promises on the
faith of which it succeeded. The
country is enraged against the demo-
cratic party because it has not fully
carried out its pledges, because it has
been dominated by the same influences
that have for years controlled the re-
publican party, especially in the franz
ing of the Mckinley act, and because
Whatever there has been of good in
tention. sound principle, and morality
in the democratic party has been made
of no avail by the corruption, 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 OBJ
tanned their power through protective
tariffs. They want more rather than
less reform of the tariff. They want
less of the communism that employs
the taxing power of the government
for the enrichment of the sugar trust
on the one hand, and for 1evying on
the incomes OF the thrifty on the
other. They want less experimenting
with their currency, large majority
