UNCLE SANS EXPERIENCE
With the "Robber Tariff"

To the Daily IIGBT:
During the years 1891 3 was engaged
in well drilling in southwest Texas.
My employer was doing good business,
the cattle and sheep business was boom
ing and raIchmen were continually open
ing up new ranges, boring for stock water,
etc.
My employer had all the work he could
do, and was making money. By and
bye came the elections of 1892, and many a
conflict of words passed between myself
and my employer who was an out and
out free trader and HOgg Democrat He
could not for the world sea why he should
pay high tariff on his clothing in order
10 support eastern manufacturers, trusts
monopoies, ct al. He was drilling wells
for sheep and cattle men, but could not
understand why they needed or should
have protection. Finally the election
came off and free trade came out trium
plant. But somehow it did not seem to
help the well drilling business any, for
prices soon dropped to bed rock, work got
| scarcer and scarcer, and finally about the
| end of 1893 his machines (he had two of
| them) were laid off entirely and all work
stopped and they are still idle. This is
1 one instance where six men, two ma
| chimes and about dozen horses have
been thrown out OF employment in order,
Il as my employer said, to cheaper his cloth
/ ing. II he is able to buy any clothing at
| all under present circumstances he is
much better off than l.
But, has he been converted?
dare say not, for 1t has been truthful
ly said that there is none so blind as they
who will not see.
I know of several other machines that
are lying idle from the same cause as
above stated, and II you know of any
that is running l would like to see where
ii Is at.
Please fix this up and publish for the
good of west Texas and as guide to free
traders generally to ponder over. Also
hang up my White House slate for March
| 5, 1897.

The Theaters.

This week will be made bright by the
first appearance at the Walnut Street
Theatre of Corinne, the peerless little
burlesquer. well known in Philadelphia,
as that is her new home. Her last APP
pearance in that city was at the Chestnut
Street Opera House, nearly two years ago,
and since that time she has developed
wonderfully in her art, and is to-day,
without question, the brightest star of the
burleeque stage Corinne is not only a
pleasing singer and graceful dancer, but
she is also wonderfully skilled with the
foils, and is the best fencer Ct any woman
now on the stage. Her burlesque is
"Hendrick Hudson" which was present
ed at the Park Theatre few seasons ago,
Fay Templeton appearing in the role now
assumed by Corinne. The mounting of
"Hendrick Hudson" is beyond all
past efforts in the immensely of
the scenic environments and costly ward
robe. Messrs. Gill and Fraser have re-
written the play, and with an idea of
making 1t more popular have introduced
several scenes and localized to the Mid
way Plaisance of the Chicago Worlds
Fair. The scenic artists have been gwen
carte blanche in their preparations, and
have achieved some distinct artistic tri-
umphs in the art of stage painting.
"Hendrick Hudson" is described as
burlesque in the fullest sense of the
word, Astounding in scenes and situations
of the most amusing character.

HOW TO FORCE BUSINESS.

There is but one way of getting
business, and that is by advertis-
ing. No matter what you have
to sell-even if it is an article
that everyone wants-you cannot
expect to do much business with
out letting the people know it.
A merchant may have marked his
stock down to prices that should
compel their sale, and still not be
able to dispose of much of it.
The reason is that buyers are ig-
norant Of the fact.
The best possible manner Of
forcing business is by newspaper
advertising. A properly worded,
catchy adv. will repay its cost
many times over. If this was not
the case, SO many successful mer-
chants would not spend thousands
of dollars annually in the news
papers.
Take a space in THE News for
several months and give the mat
ter proper attention. You will
never regret having made the in
vestment.
If you do not think you are
competent to prepare an adver-
tisement properly, bring us the
facts and we will give you our as
sistance.
Oh ! they are wise no advertise
In winter, spring and fall;
But wiser yet are they, you bet,
Who never let up at all

Wa EN- the proposed investigation of the
methods whereby William ]. Thompson
secured his last election to the New Jer-
sey Legislature was being discussed. the
"Duke" had great deal to say, and hoped
that the inquiry would be made most
searching. BY his own words there Is not
a more yirtuous man in New Jersey than
Thompson nor more popular one, for he
never asked anybody to vote for him.
The investigation of this case has been
postponed long enough and it is hoped
that it will be pushed diligently forward.
1t is a matter of common notoriety that
gross frauds were committed in Camden
county in November in Thompson's in
terest. In fact, Thompson has carried
things there with as high hand as Nc
Kane has exercised in Gravesend, N. Y,
the only difference being that Thompson
didn't defy an injunction of the Supreme
court; but probably he would have done
so if one had been issued against him.

ship feel the effect of a change at the

Ex-CoRoNER John J. Kelley has in
formed the Dispatch that be intends bring
ing libel suits against several newspapers
and persons-THE NEWS and its editor
being among the number. The cause for
this proposed action is the fact that the
papers in question saw fit to criticise and
give publicity to some of his official
actions So far as THE News is concerned
there will be no shrinking from any libel
suit that this fellow may institute. His
lawyer. Judge Noonan, of Bayonne,
would probably hesitate before plunging
into any such case if he were to spend a
day in this neighborhood and ascertain
the real state of affairs. While not having
very much opinion of Kelley, we had sup
posed that he was endowed with fair
amount of common sense, but there is
reason to doubt that. No man in his po-
sition would bring libel suit, much less
even talk about it. Perhaps be thinks
that having secured possession of the bills
that the Board of Freeholders ordered re-
turned to him, that he has made a point
Copies of those bills are in possession of
the proper officers, however, and can be
produced at any moment. The question
of requesting the last Grand Jury to indict
Kelley for perjury was seriously consider
ed and was not carried into effect for rea-
sons that were then thought sufficient.
The evidence is just as strong now as it
was then, and if ex-Coroner Kelley de-
sires investigation before Court he GER
tainly will be accommodated although the
result may not be just what he anticipates
or desires. And there is some possibility
that he will be called to answer whether
he is willing or otherwise. This is not
intended as bluff or with the idea of
having any influence on the proposed
libel suits, as they do not produce any
anxiety on our part.

JUDGE MILLER's opinion in the suit OF
the Board of Freeholders against Justices
Clevenger and Hudson to recover alleged
illegal fees, appears on our local page. AS
it favors both parties it ought to be per-
fectly satisfactory. 1t allows the county to
recover from the Justices what they have
overcharged. but says they do not have to
pay back what they collected for the con-
stables. Hence it will now be necessary
to proceed against each individual officer,
which will be done at once.

of his benefactor. The husband arose to
defend bis property, was attacked by the
darkies, one of whom drove an axe into
the brain of the wife and her innocent
child, A desperate struggle between the
husband and the two men ensued, in
which the former appeared to be endow-
ed with superhuman strength, and he
finally succeeded in killing both of his
assailants.
That this affair resulted in blotting
from the face of the earth two inhuman
monsters is cause of great rejoicing.
Had they escaped they would probably
have been caught. and possibly public
excitement would have led to their lynch
ing, and one more source of shame would
have been added to our states list, already
too long Or, escaping that punishment,
they would have been given that trial by
jury that all are, under the law, accorded,
even if not, in the public mind, entitled
to it. Then would have ensued the laws
delay, the criminals in the meantime
being the occupants of comfortable quar-
tiers and the recipients of good food and
other privileges. Their punishment was
just, and all further annoyance from them
is avoided.
A few more instances of this kind
might prove wholesome even in this state
where the old Jersey justice" appears to
have given way to sentimental system
of dealing with crime. Hanging seems to
be played out" The murders of Mrs.
Miller and Annie Leconey. in Camden
county, are still unavenged. Barclay
Peak cheated the gallows of its just due.
Rockwell. of Toms River. whose crime
was as clear as daylight, was consigned to
comfortable quarters in state prison for a
short term of years. and scores of other
cases might be cited. All of these in
stances cause a natural inquiry whether
our criminal classes are not allowed too
much latitude whether they should not
be more closely guarded and more severe
ly dealt with.
