CAUSE OF THE FIRES
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST MINNIE
sofa "TIMBER PIRATES"
In Covering Up Their Stealings They
Are Said to Have Started the
Flames ON a Mission of Death.

ST. CLOUD, Minn., Sept. S.-Are climber
pirates responsible for the fiery calamity
which has befallen the Minnesota pine
lands? There intimations that the
State senatorial committee, which has for
months been investigating the frauds
against the State in the cutting OF pine
from school lands will be able to show
tonishing evidences not only that the tim
ber pirates,'' have appropriated millions of
dollars worth of lumber belonging to the
State, but that in trying to cover up their
stealings they have started fires, which
have resulted in the terrible loss of life
and property in Pine, Calabec, Carlton and
other counties in the pine belt. Members
of the commission have already declared
that they have discovered large frauds
against the State and now 1T is expected
that they will probe into the causes of the
fires which have swept the whole pine
country.
The charge is that the lumbermen have
fired the lands which they have improp-
erly cleared to render measurement of
stumps impossible, and thereby shut off
any suits which the commission might at
tempt to bring against them. In one OF
the chief hotels in st. Cloud a scout en-
ployed by the commission to ferret out
cases of lumber thieving has declared he
had sworn evidences that millions of feet
of lumber had been stolen, and that as
soon as it had been cut the lumbermen
had instructed their employees to burn the
ground over, and to make a good, clean
Job of it. This is a possible explanation of
most of the fires that have swept this re-
gion The lumbermen in cutting timber
leave great piles of .'toppings'' all through
the woods, and, besides that, all the small
er trees and underbrush are left untouched.
A torch thrust here and there into the
piles of ''toppings'' in such a dry season
as this starts a tremendous fire, that burns
over the whole half-cleared area and eats
the stumps from which lumber has been
cut down TO Jumps of charcoal, and when
the gaugers of the commission come to
measure the stumpage on the ravaged
school lands they are left with absolutely
no basis for calculating the amount or
lumber stolen. This is exactly what the
crooked lumbermen want, but in starting
these fires they have made altogether too
clean a job of it, The fires have spread
over one thousand square miles of country.
They have destroyed nobody knows how
many hundreds of human lives, and twenty
million dollars worth OF property; Wheth-
er or not 1t can be proved that these fires
grew out of the little ones kindled by tim

EOPLES' PLAN OF ORGANIZE
TION.

The different propositions of compro-
mise, emanating as they have from
political leaders, have not, it seems,
had any effect on the masses of the
Democratic party of Texas. In other
words, the voters of the party have
not been carried off their feet and
filled with enthusiasm by any of these
propositions of reconciliation.
Under these circumstances ii has
occurred to us that the time will soon
arrive when the people ought to
take the whole matter in their
own hands and leave the politicians
free from the perpleXity and entang-
ling differences of opinions in which
they are cropping. All power, all or
ganization comes from the people. Let
them get together as it seems best to
them in public precinct, ward and
town meetings, or in primary election
conventions antedating the primaries
and determine upon course of policy
and then the county conventions send
delegates to state convention, where
the majority shall rule and make he
nominations. Let these precinct, town
and county conventions settle the test
of Democracy by which a man may be
either allowed or prohibited voice in
the party.
But in every instance let every man
who is allowed to participate prove his
Democracy by endorsing the National
Democratic administration.

THE TERMS OF RECONCILIA
TION.

The regular administration natlonal
platform Democrats of Texas have
done everything in their power to
bring about a reconciliation with their
brothers of the HOgg wing of the
party. They have manifested an earn
est desire for harmony in the party
and cooperation in the next state
election, but they have not dared to
sacrifice principle. They have pro-
posed basis of settlement of the diff
ferences between the two wings in
Texas that would recognize Demo-
cratic principles and keep them in
touch with the Democracy of the
whole country. They have forborne
to allude to technical differences and
proposed measures by which those
who have heretofore differed with
them might consistently work should
or to shoulder with them, ignoring the
differences that heretofore have ex.
listed.
The proposition to be made
by Mr.. Matlock of the Clark
committee to Mr.. Baker of the
Hogg committee is liberal and broad
and based upon the only principles
by which a Democrat in any state
could consistently claim recognition
in any kind of Democratic affiliations
in any other state.
A good test of the fairness of these
propositions would be for a Texas
Democrat of any stripe or color or fac
ton to take these propositions to a
Democratic organization in any other
state and ask whether or not less than
this would entitIe him to recognition
In their state organization. 1t will
not do to ask whether or not these
proportions suit the peculiar politics
of the Baker committee Democrats of
this state. That would be too limited
and pent up as a test, but let true
Democrat ask himself whether or not
the propositions contained in Mr.,
Matlock's letter and the general
agreement he proposed would be re-
auired for his recognition by
any state Democratic organization

THE WILSON BILL PASSED
THE HOUSE.

The Wilson tariff bill has passed
the house by a vote of 200 ayes to 1876
NAYS. Il included the income tax,
While the Wilson bill does not come
up to the demands Of the people, II ls
all that could be obtained in the pres
ent depleted condition of the treasury
and consistent with tho changed
schedule of the manufacturing int er'
ests of the country. 1t was, perhaps,
true that this change should not give
too great wrench to the business OF
the country that had been carried on
so long under high protective tariff,
and while the wedge did not split
the log wide open, it gave
a sufficient gap in it to
insert larger wedge at proper
time.
We have always regarded an in
come tax as impolitic, but its limit is
so large $4,000 that it cannot be re-
garded as oppressive, although it vi
olates the principle of "class legisia-
tom but it became necessity from
the fact that Harrison's administra'
ton left such load of debt and obli-
cations on Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton. The debt was piled up by the
Republicans in order to make it inn
possible to lower the tariff, and the
very men who did it to serve the
wealthy men of the country, have
found that they have created the me-
cessity to levy an income tax, and now
find it as boomerang flying back
upon them. 1t seems kind of prOvi-
Dental compensation in making
the millionaires pay for piling

said, the bill is not all that lie neces-
sary or desirable or that was demand
ed by the people and the Democratic
platform, but il is the very best that
could be obtained under the circum-
stances. The prosperous effect of its
workings will more than ever con
vince the country of the necessity of

or the national Democratic organiza
ton. Ifitisa fact that nothing less
would be satisfactory and he lie really
a Democrat, how is it possible for Mr..
Baker and his party to reject these
overtures of compromise?
Mr.. Baker certainly does not ex-
pect the wing of the party who be-
lieye his platform is pernicious and
obnoxious to the principles of the
national Democracy to surrender to
him and lay down their arms. That
would not be q compromise. That
would be a surrender of national Dem
ocrstic principles and declaration OF
war against Mr. Cleveland's admins.
tration. The fairest, broadcast and
most liberal terms of settlement have
been made by the Matlock committee
at their meeting on Thursday at
Dallas, and if Mr.. Baker and his
people do not accept these terms, then
they will become responsible for all
the disastrous effects upon Texas of a
race by the Populists against a di-
vided Democracy.

TUCSON, Arz, Feb. 2.-Last night
news came in from Mammoth, 60 miles
northeast of here, that the Indians are
on the warpath. Wednesday after
noon Huyalpa Clark, prospector,
while working in the Bunko Hill
district, was attacked by four Indians.
Clark is an old Indian scout and
knows the country and Indians as we'll
as they know themselves. He easily
evaded his assaiants. Clark at
once started for Mammoth,
IL miles away, for reinforcemehts.
coming in he found the camp of Will
liam Emerson, another prospectOr,
looted clear of valuables and food.
Emerson was not found and Clark be-
lieves him killed. He was man so
years old an unmarried. Clark got to
Mammoth at II o'clock He at once
aroused the camp and was soon at the
head of party of men bent on cap
turing the Indians. Yesterday morn
ing a second party followed them
About 20 men are now on the trail of
the Indians and their capture is ex'
pected. Clark is of the opinion that
it is either Kid and his gang or that it
is general outbreak of Appaches
His camp is Is miles from White
mountain reservation. He says the
scene of the supposed killing of Emer-
son is where Kids party killed John
Diehl six years ago. Word was at
once telegraphed by Marshal Meade to
Fort Grant of the affair, with request
that troops be sent there. The request
will doubtless be compiled with. 1t
has been the policy of the government
for the past few years to withdraw
from Arizona military posts and send
soldiers up north. This mistake was
never better instanced than now.
Should the outbreak be general the
Indians can not be reached by soldiers
within "a hours as soon as when Fort
Lowell, near Tucson, was garrisoned.

We are in February at last, and now,

never before. True we are still feeling
the throes of hard times, but We are
almost out of the woods, and any
how we won't make matters better
by sitting down and mopingly fold

prosperous year Austin has ever
known. The city has bought the

BENHAM AND DA CANA.
The American Admiral Wants TO Know What
to Do In an Emergency.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A dispatch
in cipher was received at the navy de-
partment this morning from Admiral
Benham. 1t is thought to be a request
for instructions as to what course to
pursue in view of Da Gama's declara-
tion that he should lombard Rio when
he pleased and without giving notice
to foreign commanders in the Rio bay.
Benham possibly desires to know
whether he is authorized to demand
that Da Cana shall give notice.
This dispatch must have been sent
before the admiral had received the
message sent him yesterday III
which it was said: 1--WE rely upon You
for further exercise of discretion" 1t
was sent, in fact, before the admiral
knew whether his course during the
past week had been approved. 1t will
probably not be thought necessary TO
send any special instructions on the
point raised as it is one that must be
considered before Benham was author
lied to proceed according TO his own
discretion. When he receives the
dispatch sent out yesterday he will
perceive & that he has SUI
ficient authority under that and has
general instructions. International
law does not fix any period before
commencing bombardment when no
tice must be given, but all civilized
nations are agreed that previous no
tice must be given. The time allowed
is usually As hours. The opinion in
the navy department is that Benham
and all other naval commanders will
be united in not allowing lombard.

BUENOS AYREs, Feb. 2.-Dispatches
received here from Rio say that the
Brazilian minister of war has resigned
after a somewhat excited interview
with Peixoto. The cause of the resig

standing out in the cold watching
their home and entire possessions burn
to ashes. Some kindly neighbors
took them in and furnished them with
enough clothing to keep them warm.
Cause of the fire unknown. Every
