WHEN THIEVES FALL orr

An interesting case is in progress at
Toledo. which develops the fact that
the \. p. \. of that place have been
furnishing themselves with the latest
improved firearms. 1t results from a
quarrel among the members of this
reasonable organization at that point.
The defendant, G. w Ostrander, says
that he was one of committee of five
appointed TO purchase the arms for the
organization, and that he believes the
suit was instigated by the other MEM
bers of the committee in order to satisfy
personal grudges and get him into
trouble. But he did not propose to bear
the responsibility alone. Far from it..

This revelation is the more interesting
because Toledo is ono Of tho cities in
which the A. z. A. worked the canard
that the catholics were preparing to arise
and murder all the protestants in the
country. A deputy sheriff named Stan
berry was particularly active in circulat-
every catholic church i'm Toledo was
filled with arms and ammunition to be
used for the slaughter ordered in the
forged encyclical letter which we ex-
posed several months ago. The story
caused a great deal of excitement and
was finally settled by an investigating
tour by a number of gentlemen. includ-
ing representatives of the press, who
examined every nook and corner of the
churches and found nothing more dan
gerous than stove wood and coal. The
same scoundrelly falsehood was worked
at Saginaw, Mich, in behalf of a re-
publican candidate for congress. And
now it appears from this quarrel among
the patriots that they are guilty of doing
the very thing that they falsely charged
on their catholic neighbors. More than
likely they were engaged i'm it at the
very time they brought their false ac-
cusation. How comfortable they must
feel in their present situation. How
satisfactory they must find it to be ex-
posed to the contempt and scorn of all
decent people. We wish them joy in
this development of their scheme for
their own political advancement.

This world is slowly washing away,
says the author Of a book recently pub
lished by the French Academy OF Sci
ences. French savants are given to SEN
satiOnalism. However. this theory need
worry no one alive today, as the author
says it will take four and a half millions
OF years to do away with our planet by
this process of washing. The theory is
to the effect that, taking into considera-
ton the wear and tear on the solid land
by ocean washing, river erosion and wind
and weather, to say nothing Of probable
volcanic action, the world will, by the
end Of four and half million years, be
completely washed away, and the ocean
will roll over the present foundations of
our great continents. But does this
Frenchman consider that the land
washed off of our continent or body Of
land will simply cling to another or bank
up into a new continent. The acres of
land that are washed down the Missis-
sippi river stop at it's mouth or in that
vicinity and eventually Louisiana will
grow into a much larger state. The city
of New Orleans stands on made ground.
Cypress logs have been bored through

The employees Of the Trenton potteries
are making things very pleasant for
their employers, who are proposing TO
cut wages about 20 per cent. in order to
bulldoze congress into giving larger pro-
lection to pottery. But the men have re-
taliated by publishing a statement in
which they declare that the manufacture
ers want to bulldoze the senate into per-
hitting them to retain their bounties,
drawn from the American people, which
they have never shared with the men,
and then they will reduce wages just the
same" And further that many of our
men have worked in England and know
that the proposed scale, even without
the 20 per cent conditional reduction,
provides for lower wages in many
branches of work than are paid there"

ure of the tariff fraud in that industry:

Condition of Trade.

With no more definite information
than week ago regarding the outcome
of financial or revenue disputes, per-
haps more people have come to the
belief that the end will answer their
wishes. Certainly rather more are
taking limited risks in business,
especially in stocks. 1t is usually a
good plan for practical men to rely
little on impressions which are assidu-
ously fostered in speculative circles,
where people rarely labor to lift prices
of things they want to buy. A more
substantial basis is the slowly growing
demand for goods caused by gradual
exhaustion of stocks held by dealers,
and this has further enlarged. the
working force in manufactures. The
fall of silver to 27id. and below 60 cts.
here, and after a slight recovery its
renewed weakness, have an unfavorable
influence on some markets. Tie
announcement that import duties are
to be imposed by India, if confirmed,
may increase the difficulty. The
passage of the seignorage bill by the
House late on Thursday has not had
time to produce much effect, but is not
financially reassuring.-R. G. Dun &

miles east of Marshfeld on the North

John Hughes, burly woodsman,
received bullet wound which may end
his life. Hughes, who is quarrelsome
when drinking, was in KohPs saloon,
when a dispute arose between the
proprietor and himself. The two men
were about to come to blows, when a
son of Kohl approached Huges from
the back and shot him, the ball enter
ing near the spine in the small of the
back and passing almost directly
through. Hughes was alive at last
accounts, but his recovery is doubtful.

The Republican Editors of Wisconsin.

Have an increased responsibility
resting upon them during the coming

mentality largely this state must be

We believe that the Republican
editors must take the lead in this battle

Of the victory depends upon their
work. Editors in other states are
organizing and why is it not time for
Wisconsin editors to come together and
adopt some plan to make their work
more serviceable to the party? The

Wisconsin to form an association to the

selves. The Minnesota editors will

Kinley will address them at the time
and if there is not a genuine Republican
revival in every district and hamlet Of
Minnesota as the result of this action
we shall be greatly mistaken. Wisconsin
editors have still bigger fight upon
their hands as Democracy is firmly
intrenched in this state. By all means
Wisconsin editors should be alive to
their opportunities as are their brethren
III other states. They should organize
for more harmonious, systematic and
united work. In union there is strength
