The Contrast.

Among ancient fables is one which
relates how once upon time the frogs
found themselves helplessly frozen in
the,mud in the bottom of the pond. And
they said, one to another, that if they
ever got out of their unfortunate predic-
ament and found themselves once
again enjoying the free air and the sun
shine, they would never any more
croak and delve in the mud and slime,
but they would swim only in pure
water and would sing like nightingales
Anon the south wind come, and the ice
was broken up, and the frogs were re-
leased from their confinement. But
when they came forth they forgot their
resolutions and sought the mud, and
croaked as of yore.
Something analogous to this is the
condition and feeling of the poor de-
luded followers of Coxey and Debs.
The former are now derided and buff
feted, and arrested and confined in jail,
and made to work upon the highways
for their pittance of bread A pitiful
and most humiliating contrast to the
high resolve with which they marched
TO Washington to compel Congress to
grant their demands
The poor Pullman strikers, starving
and in misery, are appealing to the
public for bread to keep them from
perishing of hunger, while the men who
led them to their ruin are revcling i'm
the sunlight of, to them, unwonted
prosperity, and have no helping hand
to extend to the poor deluded beings
whom they have consigned to the bot
tom of the slough of despond.
No doubt these people think now,
that if they escape from their present

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Florie West, the
soubrette of the Corbett Gentleman Jim
company, returned TO New York to-day
in the cabin of the Elbe, from Southamp-

because she would not travel in the second

their names are on the second cabin list
"The sending of the members of the

Virginia was about to assert itself by driv-
ing the unhappy beggars out of its terri

pity for their wretched condition TO hire
two cars from the Chesapeake & Ohio
road, with instructions to take them away.
At least one carload of the wealers have
announced their desire to be taken to In

ance of Democratic Members.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IF the CO ucus
which Mr.. Bynum called for to-day proved
anything on the tariff situation it proved
that Mr.. Cleveland is complete master of
the House. The friends of the administra-
ton state they defeated Mr.. Bynum at
every point, forcing him even to with
draw his motion to call a general party
caucus if the conferees have not agreed
by next Friday. Mr.. Bynum claims that
he has won a substantial victory and points
with pride to the full attendance. He as
serts that the administration evaded a di-
rect vote and sought to becloud the issue
by raising the point OF vote of confidence
in the conferees. He says that unless the
conferees agree within a few days he will
call another caucus. He asserts that the
best evidence of his victory is the assur-
ance given on every hand tonight that
there will be an agreement reported this
week. AS a matter of fact, the situation
stated in last nights interview with Mr..
German still holds good. If the conferees
do not aglee tomorrow the Senate con-
ferees will withdraw and report to the
Senate the impossbility of any final agree,
ment. In that the motion will be
made in the House to concur in the Senate
amendments.

SHOCKING. TRAGEDIES
HENRY RUSSELL KILLS HIS WIFE
AND HIMSELF WITH A RAZOR.
Frank Larrabee Applies the Same
Weapon to the Throat of His Mis-
tres. and Draws 1t Across His own.

CHICAGO, Aug. z. - Henry Russell, col
ored, this afternoon murdered his wife, Car
rie, by cutting her throat with a razor. He
then ended his own life by slashing his
throat. The scene of the tragedy was in
the building in the rear of No. 6 South
Sheldon street. The couple lived on the Sec
ond floor. About o'clock Russell returned
to the house and commenced quarrelng
with his wife. In a short time the woman
was heard screaming, and several men who
went to her assistance were driven out by
Russell, who threatened to kill them If
they came back. The police at the Lake
street station were notified and Sergeant
Ellwood and officer O'Connell were sent to
the house Before they arrived Russell had
cut his wife's throat from ear to ear and
then taking up the dying woman in his
arms, he bore her to the window and
hurled her into the yard. He then stood at
the window with bloody razor In his
hand and looked down upon the apparently
dead form of his wife. Before anyone could
enter the house and seize him, the desper-
ate man drew the bloody razor across his
own throat. The first cash did not seem
to have any effect upon him, and he again
brought the razor into play and sashed and
hacked at himself until he fell dying to the
floor. He expired in a short time. The wo-
man died while being taken to the hospital.
Russell had threatened to kill his wife If
she did not cease quarreling with him.
