THE new TARIFF Law.

The Democratic tariff bill. is now a
aw. By the expiration OF the ten days
limit the new law took effect last mid
night and the Mckinley infamy was
forever wiped off our statute books.
That measure which has had such a
blighting e feet upon the industries aud
labor OF the country is law no more, and
a better measure takes its place. The
closing Of factories, reductions OF
wages, paralysis OF business and
staQnation o! trade, which have
marked tbs period when the
Mckinley measure was in force will
pass away with the expiration Of the
law to which they were attributable.
The cries Of women and children for
bread, tho appeal Of the laboring man
for a chance TO work, the rattle OF mus
kerry as the starving forces Of organ
lied labor are led TO desperation and
disorder, will no more DO heard above
the noise aud tumult Of the world. The
party of the people has repealed the
measure responsible :or so much misery
snd-suFerlng aEs better law mas been
enacted in its place.
The new law is not in all respects just
what It should be. The history Of the
bill and the efforts Of the party to enact
a law which would come fully up to the
Democratic standard are too recent to
have been forgotten. The opposition
which was met in an unexpected quar-
ter was too strong 10 be entirely over
come, but the new law is in all respects
so much to be preferred to the law II
supersedes that the whole country
should rejoice. II is the best law that
could DO passed 1t is a Democratic
measure enacted by the Democrats, who
must bear the blame for its shortcom-
ings and are entitled to the credit for
the wonderful Improvement made upon
the law MCKINLEY gave US.
The law is now in force. In short
time its effect upon the business OF the
country will have become known, aid
il the result is as favorable TO the
Democrats thanks will pour out from the
whole country for having relieved it
from so disastrous a law as the McKin
ley law and having given it such a
SPLENDID substitute.

DINE NOVEL HEROES.
. GANG OF BzswOOD THIEVES Or TENDER
AGE,
Break Open and Rob Panhandle So1 Tar fiilsd
with Merchandise -NOustsviils eating
Scraps-PSlics Notes

Boy thieves seem to be very numerous
in Benwood. It will be remembered
thaesome time ago cave was found on
Kentucky Heights" in the town. con-
tanning a large amount OF stolen prop
erty. Some of the boys were arrested,
and it was thought that the gang had
been broken up. The Developments Of
last Sunday argue differently.
Sunday morning, while some OF the
Renvood police were patroling near the
Riverside iron works they found that
one OF the cars of merchandise on the
tracks above the mill had been ram
sacked. 1t was found that the car had
been broken into. and that things in IL
had been rummsged and scattered about,
and many articles taken. Shoes, tape
lines and iron artichs had been stolen.
1t seemed that the boys had picked over
the goods, and ha0 taken just what
they wanted. II is thought that the
robbery was committed some time! on
Saturday, and II is not known how
much merchandise was taken or its val
ue.
The officers went to work to find the
robbers, and it did not take them long
to discover that il had been perpesrated
by boys Of the town, who averaged in
age from nine years 20 seventeen. The
youthfulness Of the robbers Is the worst
part OF 1t. Three boys Of the town
named, Lewis, Coleman and Myers, were
arrested yesterday and placed in the
lookup. Not one Of the three boys is
fifteen years OF aga. Two more arrest
are to be made this morning, one OF the
boys being not quite nine years OF age.
The hearing Of the youthful robbers
will be held this morning before SdGire
Henry Riddle, of Benwood, and 1t Is
thought that some of them at least will
be given q term in the reform school.
When the officers were making tns
arrests yesterday they found at the
homes of the boys, and hid along
Boggs' run near tho scene Of the thev-
ing, seven pairs OF shoes of the stolen
property and other articles.

Created BY Rev. DR. Eaton's Testimony.
CHICAGO, August 27.-T The Strike
Com missioners devoted large share Of
their session to-day to the examination
OF Manager e. Il. Bryant, OF the bank
at Pullman. Mr.. Bryant appeared with
yard or two Of typewriter statistics,
but at the request OF Commissioner
Herman laid the Statement aside and
answered questions. he was particular
to state that he was not an
enploys of the Pullman Company,
as the bank was owned by the
Pullman Southern Car Company,
but later admitted that the latter CON-
pany is controlled b. the palace car
company Mr.. Bryant said that the
capital stock OF the bank is 500, 900,
and that in July. 1893. the deposits
amounted to about S65s, 200; 2, 425 Of
the depositors st that tine were Pull
man employees, their accounts averaging
S240. In July, 1894, the deposits
amounted to S453, 000, with ouly /, ia
employees accounts. averaging S270. The
witness said that the Pullman workmen
we're paid In checks. That each month
the men were given two checks. ii they
rented company dwellings, one repre-
senting the amount Of rent due and the
other the balance OF wages earned. Mr..
Bryant vas questioned sharply regard
ing the system Of paying, but emphatic
ally stated that there was nothing COM
pulsory about the men paying their
rent.
THE checks are only made for the
convenience OF the men," he said, "gnd
they may or may not indorse the rent
check back to the company, as they
choose"
at is just a sort OF gentle reminder
that the rent Is DUE" suggested Com
missioner Herman.
sit is simply for the mems conven-
ience," the witness persisted,
The bank manager was then rigidly
examined IS TO the methods CT the COM
pany for collecting back rent.
Mr.. Bryant was asked regarding the
case OF Jennie Curtis, a Pullman en-
ploye, who had claimed that she had
been compelled to pay back rent due on
the house which her father had occu-
pied previous to his death. The witness
said the company had not compelled
Miss Curtis to pay the rent, but admit
ted that she had done SO.
Rev. DR.. C. H. Eaton, Of the Church
of Paternity OF New York, surprised
the audience by his testimony. He as
serted that the reports OF suffering at
Pullman had been grossly exaggerated.
be had visited forty houses, he said,
and found no restitution and no dis
tress. The men had told him that they
had no real grievances, he declared,
and had no real cause for striking.
Dr.. Eaton did not believe that COM
pulsory arbitration would prevent
strikes, giving as his reason that one
side of such controversies, the laboring
men, were not responsible, aud that any
agreement that might be reached would
be- liable to violation. The clergyman
said that the proper method Of prevent
ing strikes was to build up and improve
the character OF the workingman. He
had found Pullman, he said, very sat
isfsctory place in that regard, as the
mems characters there were under good
influences.

TIE President accepts the Senate
tarif bill, like the party everywhere
has done, as the best that could be
passed and as Infinitely better, even
with an It's Objectionable features, than
the odious Mckinley law His letter,
defining his position, clearly defines the
position OF tho party. Accepting under
protest the bill which has been forced
upon 10, the Democratic party does not
compromise its prime pies. The fight will
sail 60 on. There will be no sur.
render, nor is tbs present measure one.
It is q step 10 the right direction which
is to bs followed up until a bill is
passed which will em6ody all the
Democratic ideas aud meet the
unanimous approval Of the
party. The people cannot fully ap-
prove this bill aud neither could the
President, but under the circumstances,
considering it a vast Improvement over
existing conditions, he allowed the bill
70 become law, and his course will be
approyed.

Sunday Night.

Sunday night about half-past nine
O'Clock three men held up Clarence
Smith, yeung maa Of Moundsvile,
near the Fair Grounds, and as result
one of the Rssailant, William willis, Of
Clarksburg, is confined 10 his room
with two slabs Inflicted by Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Smita was out buggy riding with
young lady, and when near the end
OF the street leading TO the Fair
Grounds, one of the men grabbed his
horse by the bride, while one OF the
others attempted TO climb into the
buggy. Mr.. Smith reached for his re-
volver, but unfortunately had left it at
homo. The man in the buggy then
called him all the vile names he could
lay his tongue to, and when Smith at
tempted to return TO town prevented
him, and ordered him 20 drive on TO the
Fair grounds. Here Smith called for as
sistsnce, and two of his friends started to
accompany him home. They were
again attacked, aud while the other
two were engaged with two OF the as-
saiants, the other pulled revolver on
Smith, according 10 his story, when he
cut him with knife, which had been
handed him by one of his friends. One
OF the stabs was inflicted in the neck on
the left side, and the other In the left
breast.
The injured man was taken to the
home OF John Roland where DR., S. NJ
Steele attended him. Willis says he is
not badly hurt, and expects to be out
next Saturday. he says be knows moth
ing about the ARRAY, that he was drink
ing on Sunday, and remembers nothing
about insulting Smith, and was not
aware there was any fuss until
after he was cut. The trio came to
Moundsville from Clarksburg, and were
engaged taking care o. the horses on
the Fair Grounds, while one Of them
acted In the capacity of jockey. Mr..
Smith was al his place Of business yes
terday, and so far no complaint has
been made on either side,

The Democratic party is forever and unal-

One Of the most significant signs Of
the times, and 'oue OF the most prom
ising for Democracy, is the unanimity
Of Democratic sentiment concerning
those who sre credited with she defeat
Of the WusOa bin and the adoption Of

the Dsr,y's chosen representatives. have
failed 20 live up 10 the declaration Of

into compromise with protection is
only TOO well known. That there
has been conduct lie the SEN

ashamed can not be denied. But the
united stand taken by the rank and file
OF Democracy throughout the country
in favor OF the Democratic platform
and in denunciation Of those who have
opposed it shows beyond all doubt that
there has been no weakening Of the
party. The frequent resolutions adopt
ed by the Democrats, especially by the
constituents Of those who helped defeat
the Wilson bill show clearly that their
course is not approved, that the cause
Of revenue reform is as dear to the
hearts Of Democracy as ever and that
they will carry on the fzht without one
