SANDBA66ED
Isaac Johnson, Respected Citi-
zen Sandbagged in Day
Light.

Isaac johnson, one of Redwood's
oldest and most highly respected citi-
zens, was sandbagged in broad day
light last Tuesday, about noon. Mr..
johnson had left his home in the
southwestern corner of the city for the
mill pond for the purpose of cutting a
load of ice.
An hour later he was wandering
about his place unconsciously, and
when taken into the house a huge
swelling was found directly on top of
his head, and DR.. Gibson later pro-
nounced it blow from stick in the
hands of some person, other than Mr..
johnson. Mr.. johnson is in serious
condition at his home.
Yesterday morning he cashed a
check for over 500 at one of the city
banks. He placed the money in his
pocket and when he reached home
about IL o'clock he gave his money to
his wife, who placed it in the usual
receptacle. 1t is thought that he was
sandbagged by some one who saw
him cash the check, and who watched
his movements until he got in the
woods leading to the river, where the
crime was committed.

in bad condition, large ruts here
and there at frequent intervals maxi
ing it very unpleasant passage for

that all of the money for street i'm
provement was expended early in the
year, after filling one or two holes
on Second, Washington and Mill
streets, in improving by-ways that are
not very extensively travelled. While
it is good thing to have good streets
all over the city, the main business
thoroughfares should be kept in the
best of condition.

THE WRONG WOMAN.
Mrs. Kate Zimmerman Knocks
Down a WOuld-Be ASSdildnt.

An attempted assault was made up
on Mrs. Kate Zimmerman, an old
lady of this city, while she was cross
ing the bridge over the Redwood river,
in this city, on Tuesday evening, Nov.
Goth. The old lady had been working
on Ramsey Heights during the after
noon and evening, and it was about
nine o'clock when she left for her
home on Lincoln street. When she
reached the bridge she saw man
coming towards her, but at first
thought she supposed he was merely
one of the many pedestrians which
cross that bridge during the night.
But when the man confronted her he
attempted to seize her, but she tore
herself away, striking him a fearful
blow full in the face just as she made
her final successful attempt at getting
away. The blow knocked the man to
the ground, and while he was picking
himself up Mrs. Zimmerman started
on run to get away from her as
sailant. He followed her, after recov-
ering from the effects of the blow.
She screamed, but the screams brought
her no help, and soon the villain was
close to her, and was about to grasp
her garments, when she wheeled
around, dealt the fellow another ter
rife blow that sent him to the ground.
This last blow was evidently enough
for the pursuer, as Mrs. Zimmerman
was not bothered any more, although
she ran until she was out of breath,
and then turning araund, could see
nothing of the villain that was not
pursuing her.
Mrs. Zimmerman is washerwoman,
who goes about from house to house
washing, and thus gaining an honest
livelihood. She is considered the
most mucular woman in the city, and
those who know her have some pity
for the fellow she struck. What his
motive was is question. Mrs. Tim
norman is past middle age, and the
supposition seems to be that she was
stopped for the purpose of being
robbed Of what little money she had
made during the day. The police
have some suspicious as to who the
fellow was, and are looking for further

it could lean more strongly toward

denim the new tariff law, says the New
York Tribune. When that measure
was pending, some of these journals
declared with great emphasis and
solemnity that the passage of that bill
with the income tax included would
overthrow the Democratic party in
every northern State, and events have
proved that the prediction was perfect
ly accurate. To claim at this late day
that the verdict had no such meaning
or force is to give a tone of banter,
trifing and responsibility to their
previous utterances.
Certain free-trade leaders offer a
much wiser explanation because it is
partially true. The people were in
deed disguised about the action of
Congress fon the tariff, these Demo
Gratis admit, but only because the party
broke all its pledges aud was false to
it's platform, and deliberately sold out
Democratic principles for support in
certain districts or shares in a sugar
speculation. There can be no doubt
that this feeling influenced the action
of many Democrats. In States like
Missouri, where the Democrats are
nearly all infected with the rankest
free-t trade theories, and are as hide
bound and mossbacked in their devo-
ton to ancient plantation notions as if
they still owned slaves and dreaded
the explosive influence Of free manu-
featuring labors among them, the
Democrats abstained from voting, as
Mr.. Mills says, about as largely as in
other States where manufactures
abound. 1t is reasonable to assume
that the same feeling of disgust, be-
cause the party had not only failed to
abolish protection but had actually
sold itself to the stock gamblers and
the trusts, had power with many
Democrats in other States.
Yet it is known to everybody that a
great many Democrats in every State
expressed their disgust with the new
tariff for a different reason-because
it Frustrated their industries. Right
here in Newt York every active man
knows many who voted against the
Democratic party for that reason and
no other. It'll is of no use to deny
what everybody knows. In other
cities and States, where municipal
corruption had no part in the matter,
great armies of Democrats who were
not mossbacked free traders but work.
ingmen in protected establishments
voted straight Republican tickets or
refused 10 vote at all; and precisely
the same testimony on that point
comes from every State in the long
line between Bangor and San Fran
cisco. Men only make themselves
ridiculous who deny things so clearly
within personal knowledge of every
intelligent reader. It is a striking
fact that the percentage of Democrats
who thus abandoned their party was
large in every State, though naturally
larger where manufacturing estab-
lishments were most numerous.
The point is that the Democratic
party has to take its choice between
destruction at the hands of radical
free traders for not going far enough,
or destruction at the hands of work
ingmen for depressing their industries
at all. No doubt, by following Mr..
Mills advice, the party could please
the hidebound Democrats of Missouri
and save many of their votes, but by
that course it would throw away many

When II comes 10 voting at the fall

than usual interest TO consider. They
are not matters of mere party preference,
nor are they in any way, connected with

The time has come for every head of a

the cooperation of state or municipal

Is secured through the franchise of the
people-the votes cast by the bread Win

then, that the initial blunder should not

In speech delivered late in July in
Kansas City, Kansas, by the BOBBY who
rattles around in the Office of governor
of the state, he ranted about his party
being the friend of the working man,
and winds up with the insipid climax:

DEGRADING THE OFFICE.

In all his troubles, the suspicion fire.
quently arises that someone is deviling
poor Governor Waite. His late arrest
appears to have been on a trivial charge.
He is hauled up before commissioner,
and an enormous bail is stuck upon him.
and, naturally, he boiled over and made
ridiculous scene, and said some very
ridiculous th;ngs-among them that he
twas governor of Colorado"
1t Is about time to let up on the old
man. He is human, and ought to have
the respect that age commands, if moth
ing else about him does. 1t is not right
to tease and fret him, and to probably
shorten his life by pulling him this way
and that.
He was not allowed to put his ap-
pointees in office in the first place, and
he had to call out the militia to sustain
himself in his position. And ever
since, there has been spirit in Colorado
to make a fool Of Old Man Waite. 1t is
wrong. The Office of governor, even if
it is filled by an old fool, should be
treated with respect.
But there Is no excuse for the people
who put him there. They have made
the office of governor of Colorado a
joe. They knew that Waite was an
empty blowhard when he was running
for office, and if they have made their
state an object of ridicule all over the
land, they have only themselves TO
blame.
Nothing can be degraded more quickly
than an Office. The office of governor
of Ohio is coveted, not because the
power of that office is in any way more
powerful than the Office of governor of
Kansas, or the governor of Colorado,
but it is because the Office is respected
by the people of Ohio, and they do not
think any man is too good to occupy it.
Like the office of governor of Col
orado, the Office of governor of Kansas
has been degraded. 1t has been occupied
two years by mediocre man, who in
making himself ridiculous, has pulled
the dignity of his office down with him.
The people should hold the office
high. The man who fills it is regarded
as their representative, and they should
fill it with a man who is as able as the
average citizen. And Lewelling is not
as able as the average citizen of Kansas,
or Waite as the average citizen of Col
orado

WE ARE NOW CHANGING.

1t was predicted that upon the passage
of the tariff bill and the adjournment of
congress that the general stagnation of
business which has prevailed for the past
year would give way TO an era Of pros
perity. Able financIers reasoned that
when it was known under what con-
ditions the business of the country was
TO be transacted, the energy and enter
prise of the American people would
overcome all obstacles and general re-
sumption of business would take place.
But as matter of fact there has not
only been dull trade and hard times for
the past year, but there has been such
an enormous shrinkage in values that the
purchasing power Of the people is at
such a low standard that trade and
commerce will continue TO languish for
some time to come. Again this has not
been prosperous crop year throughout
the United States, and our surplus is
light and will be sold at unusually low
prices. In fact there is spirit Of econ
omy on and even those who are able to
command all the necessaries and luxu-
ries are going slow and viii continue to
