FRANKFORT, IND, March l1.-John

ship, was killed last night by Il number
OF members OF the Mulberry detective
Association" This is IN organization
OF farmers OF this county, recently
formed with the purpose OF making
horse stealing and other modes OF
thieving. which have been quite pre-
va!ent lor long time. unpopular.
Yesterday while Warren Thompson
with his family was absent from home
thieves entered the house and made
away with quantity oil meat, flour and
other provisions. John Rodgers was
suspected. Farmer Thompson called
the association together, and it was de-
cided to watch Rodgers house for the
appearance of the thief with his plumber.
Fifteen men accordingly concealed
themselves Mt various places about the
Rodgers premises and at II o'clock
Rodgers made his appearance. It is
asserted that he was loaded with the
stolen property. At any rate an at
tempt was made to arrest him. Rodgers
resisted and drew revolver. The next
instant his body. riddled with bullets,
was writhinG on the ground. He lived
but ten minutes The member OF the
association are very reticent about the
affair and no details can be obtained
other than those given. It is not yet
known what action the officers Of the
law will take.

The Register throws fistful OF lead
into n Charlestown dispatch 20 tho Rich
mond DlsHdtch about Second district
politics and gives it special prominence
on its editorial paGo. Ex-senator Henry
G. Davis is quoted as saying that he
would "spcad considerable money" to
defeat Mr.. William /. Wilson ior Con.
gress, and Senator Camden is said to
have replied that "ior every dollar that
Mr.. Davis put into the Second district
to defeat Mr. Wilson he (Mr. CGmdcn)
would put two dollars into tn &C district
to secure his election"
The heading OF this entertaining pro-
duction Is, "A Battle OF Dollars" The
tino Italian hand OF Mr.. James VI. Ma.
son seems to hGvo lett its impress on
this article. Mir. Mason abhors the
money power"
But why doea tho Register give so
much prominence 10 the prospect OF %
battle OF dollars" in this state between
two eminent Democrats whom their
party has delighted to honor" so to
speak? Is it to encourage Second dis.
trict Democrats 20 hope ior some relief
OF the existing s;rinGcacy?

Tho Lower Level of Wages.

Dun's Rcrier, speaking Of the iron and
steel market, remarks that "thc idle.
ness OF nearly forty per cent OF tho
working force still restricts trade, and
also the fact that employment for
about sixty per cent OF the force has
only been secured by reduction OF
wages for iron workers, furnace men,
miners, coke and coal workers, proba-
bly, exceeding twenty per cent in the
aggregate"
1t is satisfaction to see any degree
OF resumption in the country's activi.
ties, but this feeling is naturally ac-
companled by a regret that such re-
sumption as there is comes with so
great and so general n reduction OF
wages. ltmeans leveling down OF the
high standard OF citizenship which has
been the American pride and boast.
The country is getting ready to meet
the new conditions OF 4 new tariff policy
which invites larger importations. The
wa2e.earncr will not be the only one to
fcei the change. His purchasing power
cannot be impaired without n general
impairment Of the conditions OF pros
pcrity which have made this country
the envy OF the world.

New York, March ll.-Lato yesterday
afternoon 1t was announced that the
Gravcsend town board OF auditors. COM
posing Stryker Van Sycklon, G. c. Over
tsn and James L. Voorhees,, had dis
covered that about 100000 paid to John

not been accounted for. VI tins

mont bonds; $4,000 in sewer bonds
$4,000 was paid Mckane by John

lector to pay town bills; $4,000 from
the board of health ior cleaning the

Sanator Hill, replying to delegation
otbuslness Mon in New York last Satur.
day, said: az am in favor Of a tariff
high enough to enable American manu-
lecturers 10 compete with foreigners as
iAr as the difference in wages is con-
cerned." This ia very good, but it is
not orthodox Democracy in this day.
1t is precisely what the Democratic
party in national convention refused 10
TO declare for.
Tho committee on resolutions laid be-
foro the Democratic national committee
OF 1892 tariff plank recognizing "the
difference. in the cost OF labor here and
Abroad" asserting that sin making re-
ductions in taxes it is not proposed to
injuro any domestic industries, but
rather to promote their healthy
growth" adding that many industries
have come to rely upon legislation Tor
successful continuance, go that any
changes OF law must be at every step
regardful OF the labor ard capital thus
involved. The progress OF reform must
be subject in the execution to this
plain dictate OF justice"
This was the reasonable recommend
alton OF the committee, but the conven-
ton was OF another mind, and the reso-
luton was rejected. In its stead the
convention adopted n resolution declar-
ing cit to be fundamental principle OF
the Democratic party that the govern
mcnt has no constitutional power 10
impose and collect 4 dollar for tax ex-
cept for purposes OF revenue only" It
also denounced protection las fraud"
Senator Hill plants himself on the
tariff plank which his party rejected.
60 does every Democrat who asks any
protection. however little, for any in.
dustry, great or small.
1t is an interesting fact that the tariff
plank rejected by the Chicago conven-
ton figured all through the campaign.
Democratic newspapers and speakers
used the substance OF it to show that
their party would recognize the dilier-
ence between foreign and American
wages, that it did not propose to injure
any domestic industry, that every step
in its legislation would be taken with
regard to the interests OF American
capital and labor.
In parts OF West Virginia the Demo
Gratis made their campaign on the tariff
plank that was voted down in the Chi
cago convention. They found Demo
Gratis ignorant enough to believe that
they were listening to Democratic doc
trine.
This ignorance seems to have been
pardonablc in view OF the fact that in
each house OF Congress are men who
call themselves Democrats and find
fault with their party ior not bnsins its
tariff legislation on the tariff declara-
ton which their party refused to adopt.
For thing that came into tho world
still-born that rejected tariff plank has
run 4 remarkable career. Tho nine
lives OF cat cannot hold candle 10 it.

Ponderous subjects obtain very little
