ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
The local officers believe they heye
captured the fellows who murdered the
Mexican, Alberto Roland, at Chapman g
ranch on Wednesday night last. This
morning Deputy Constable Wright
brought in from the ranch two men
named Adel Silves and Pablo Rocha,
whom he Is certain are the right men.
The fellows are couple of tough. looking
half-breeds, who came up from Lower
California only q few weeks ago. Both
men were employed on the Chapman
ranch, as we'll as the murdered man. The
idea is that Silvas was the leader in the
murder, he having had some trout BILE
with the dead man over the loan of
dollar. The theory is that the two men
enticed Roland out into the orchard and
struck him over the head with the demi-
john Of wine which he carried, and then
set to on him with their knives. Mr.
Wright, who is forman OF the ranch, has
been working on the evidence, and
thinks he has good case. The men
were arraigned before Justice Merriam
today and entered plea of not guilty.
Their examination was set for Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Radical Changes That Eave Taken Place
In England.

Radical Changes That Eave Taken Place
In England.
Marriage customs have changed ev-
erywhere with the advance Of civiliza-
tion. Anglo-Saxons IL ancient times, it
is said, used to capture their wives by
force from their fathers or their hus-
bands, it did not matter which.
This was before Augustine came to
preach Christianity. Then purchase YVES
more common than capture, although
the latter seems to have been frequent
enough to the reign of Ethelbert to need
regulation by law. By this law man
might run away with a woman, provid-
ed he afterward paid her previous own
er, be he father or husband, 90 shillings
If it was husband who had thus been
deprived of his wife, the woman's cap
tor had not only to pay him the fine,
but also to buy him another wife. In
any case the ctoiep woman belonged to
her captor
If man hsd purchased his bride in
the days of Ethelbert and afterward
concluded he had paid too much for her,
it was lawful for him to return her to
her former owner and claim again the
purchase price, provided that he had
not previously expressed satisfaction by
making the bride a present on the morn
ing after the wedding
The next step was the foster lien, !"
when the bride price was paid on the
day of espousal and was supposed to
compensate the parent for the cost Of
bringing up his daughter. 1t seems,
however, that this soon fell into disre-
pute, AS there was no law against the
.sather's engaging his daughter to nu-
merous suitors, taking from each the
"foster lien," and, of course, cheating
all bat one on the wedding day, which,
at that time, was only the day of be-
trothal, when the suitor gave ''wed"
or pledge for the future performance Of
his contract. If the suitor did not claim
his bride within two years after the
wedding day, he forfeited all right to
her and to'whatever money or goods he
had paid for her If the woman or her
father broke their promises, the father
had to give the suitor four times as
much as the suitor had already paid
him.
AS civilization advanced the bride
price was given to the woman herself
and became her dowry, while nova
days the tables are frequently turned,
and the bride settles the money on her
husband. Kate Fields Washington.

The irresistible logic of events will
compel the early assumption by gov
eminent OF the ownership and con
troll of Interstate railways. What
ever such a step might bring the re-
suits would not be more inimical to
all interests than are the conditions
which today exist.
Whether the situation be viewoc
from the standpoint of the present
owners, of the State, of the genera
public, or the hard-worked and un
der. paid employees, the inevitable
outcome appears the same, railroads
will be the first of the great monopo
lies to fall under government dlrec

The owners of railroad stocks vii
be the first to favor the change if the
present unhappy and discouragine
situation continues. II we may trust
the statements made under oath III
the courts OF the land fully half the
railroads in the country are under
the management and control OF as
precious q lot OF scoundrels as exist
outside of prison walls. They have
robbed not only the public, but the
stockholder has been plnndered and
bondholder's securities rendered
worthless.
The people will not much longer
endure the corrupting influence upon
State legislation of the great railway
corporations. No State is free from
this influence, and the railway man
ayers boldly declare they either must
control the legislatures or be legls
lated into bankruptcy.
The general public will not mncli
longer endure the unfair, unjust dis
examinations made by the railways,

Commission, hampered as 1t is by
The rulings of the courts, seems pow

That the Senate tariff bill does not
meet the just expectation of the peo-
pie of the country, no one doubts, but
that i is great Improvement upon
the Mckinley Bill, seems to be true
from the extract from Chairman
Wilson's speech given below, and the
changes therefore are important, If
not all that were desired:
Take even those portions of the
bill over which this contest between
the two houses has been waged, take
iron ore and coal, upon which we
have confronted, and to certain ex-
tent unsuccessfuuly confronted, the
great railroad syndicates of the coun-
try, yet we have reduced them both
nearly 50 per cent below the Mckinley
bill. Take the sugar schedule, over
which the greatest OF all contests be-
tween the two houses have been
waged. Vicious it may be, burden
some to the people as it may be,
favorable TO the trust as il may be,
it is less vicious, less favorable to the
trust and less burdensome to the peo-
pie than is the Mckinley law under
which this trust has grown 80 great
rs to ove.shadow with Its power the
American people. II for no other
reason, then, those who believe that
when they cannot take the full steI
which they desire, when they cannot
DO that which the people commits
stoned them to do, they must take
the best they can and step as far as
they can, may find some justifica
ton for an unhesitating choice be
tween the two bills"

The tariff question has at last been
disposed of, but in q manner very far
from being satisfactory to the Ameri-
can people An agreement i'll the
matter was reached on last Monday,
by the House deciding to recede from
the disagreement on the part Of the
House to the Senate amendments to
the Wilson Bill. This action OF the
House is justified on the ground that
unless the Senate Bill was adopted
there could be no tariff legislation at
this session of Congress and i'll the
spirit OF the homely adage, DOUBTLESS
that a half loaf is better than none.
No one believes or claims that ii full
fills even in measure the eXpecta-
lions of the American people, but as
the best measure which could be OBJ
tained, the action of the House, un-
der the circumstances, will be ap-
proved by the people. Ii is step
probably in the right direction and
the fight fora better tariff will Doubt
less be renewed and won when the
people have retired to private life, as
they doubtless will, the men who

The Eastern Shore Agricultural
Fair, was greater success this year
financially, than that of any previous
year, as was stated in our last issue.
Then the Fair had not closed and to
some extent the statement was a
mere matter Of opinion. now the re-
suits have been summed up and show
larger receipts than ever before. This
taken into connection with the good
order that prevailed throughout the
Fair, the excellence of the exhibits,
fine weather, magnificent trials Of
speed and the good attendance every
day, enables us to say, that it was &
success not only financially, but il
all other respects and creditable il
all things to the officers who CON
trolled it and contributed by their
efficient labors TO it's success.
