no WHAT ARE WE DRIFTING'

70 WHAT ARE WE DRlFIlNU'
The Washington correspondent OF
the Louisville, KY, Courier-Journal,
writing from that city under date OF
July 80, in speaking of the general
opinion of congressman on the final
action upon the tariff bill, says:
"It is also the opinion of those men
that the house will finally accept the
senate bill with modification of the
sugar schedule, but not to an extent
to deprive the sugar trust OF com"
Portable protection. A large number
of Democrats in both the house and
the senate do not object to this. They
say that as the bill gives the wooden
manufacturers $40, 900 a year and
the iron manufacturers twice that
much they do not see why they
should make fuss about giving the
sugar trust an annual protection of a
subsidy of $l0,OOO,OOO or $l2,OOO,OOO."
From the exaspersting differences
in the ranks of Democratic congress-
men upon the tariff it is impossible to
tell whether this correspondent s in
dulging in grim sarcasm and scorch
ing irony or is really in earnest in at
tributing to these Democrats a will
ingness to indulge the sugar and other
trusts with almost unlimited protec-
ton in subsidies of SO, 900, GOO or $12,-
600, 900 to trust. fit is true, then
the people of this country have lost
their last hops and will have to bear
the heavy burden Of tribute to wealth
for sears to come. If this is true the
burden will have to be horne until
the senate excresence of a
GoImanized Democracy slOughs
off and is eliminated from the senate
and purer, healthier and a more
sturdy and youthful Democracy is
grated into u true representation OF
the party in the senate, until there is
perfect harmony and accord in the
party on the necessity of administer
ing the government for the benefit of
the whole people, and not few
favored trusts.

He Arrests One of His Assailants and
Takes Him to Colorado.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 3.-Adjutant
General Tarsney of Colorado, who has
been here for some days seeking to
encom pass the arrest of one of the
gang who tarred and feathered him,
came near being the victim of an as
sassin's bullet at the Union depot in
this city tonight. 1t was one of the
closing scenes in the dramatic play
growing out of the Colorado tragedy
during the recent strike and the con-
seouent terreting out and the arrest OF
J.R. Wilson, one of the leaders of the
marauders
Several days ago Genera! Tarsne y
located Wilson near Nevada, Mo, and
bv neat bit OF strategy and with the
assistance of Detective Peterson OF
Colorado succeeded in getting him to
Kansas City. Wilson was positively
identified by Tarsney as Geing the
ripgleader of the mob that tarred and
teathered him. Wilson, however, de-
clared that he was innocent. After
some trouble Tarsney secured requi-
sition papers from Governor Stone and
the start for Colorado was arranged
for this evening.
&C. Collins, an ex-deputy under
Wilson in Colorado during the strike
trouble, and who is believed to be the
man who carried the feathers on the
eventful night, came to town yester'
day, and as he afterwards told re-
porter, was bent on liberating Wilson.
Shortly after the departure of the
evening Union Pacific train tonight
Tarsney, Wilson and Peterson were
driven from the Jail to the depot in a
closed carriage preparatory to start.
ing for Colorado. Arriving at the de-
pot, they were met by Collins who at
tempted to draw Wilson
away from Detective Peterson
at the same time placing his hand on
his hip pocket. Peterson pushed Col
Inns aside but the latter renewed his
efforts. Finally Collins turned to-
wards Tarsney and made threaten
ing motion, whereupon Tarsney
reached for his revolver but before
either man could lift q hand Peterson
stepped between them and prevented
what might have been tragedy. A
big crowd collected and great excite
ment prevailed for o WHILE Tarsney
and Peterson finally reached the
Union Pacific train and left for Dem
yer. Collins had bought ticket via
the Santo Fe and left OIL The same
train.

GOV. HOGG INDICr5 CLEVE-

Hogg's speech.

doubtful The proceedings of the

original and solitary line of conduct,

We would have done so, but W n a
sckless disregard of all precet snts

expect anybody to believe his reckless
assertions and groundless diatribes
when he disobeys every claim of legal
precedent and every observance OF u

But let Us admit that his dispatch
Is true and answer the question as to
who is to be the judge of "lncendiary

sneeringly, ".he judge and the

: rthe strikers had used incendi-
airy language, had advised the de-
struction and burning of railroad
property, and the persons who had

under these circumstances Gov. Hogg
sneers at the fact that "the judge and

THE most straining thing on the
muscles is to strike out at empty space
with all ones force-about the same

better and more significant specimen
Of his airy nothings than in his decla
ration that nowhere does it (the law

Therefore, as he emphasizes this fact,
the inevitable conclusion of the sapient
governor would be that there was no
law for the protection of trains, mails,
or interstate commerce. Would that
Governor Hogs language did 10,
