u prophecy for tariff reform and

, ed our office more than ever before

The speech made by Gov. Me-
KIEley in New Orleans last Satur
day night must have been a sore
disappointment to the management
OF the sugar boilers campaign, who
were evidently hoping that the
Ohio Napoleon and author of the
tariff bill which gave to the planters
Of Louisiana the sugar bounty
would pledge the Republican party
to restore the bounty in the event
that it was returned to power. But
Mckinley gave no such pledge Cor
two most excellent reasons. the first
/ of which was that he is i'm 40 posi-.
ton to pledge the Republican party
80 any measure. while the second
was that even had be been in such
position it would have been suicidal
on his part TO have done so on the
{ ground that no public measure
which has been enacted in recent
years is more generally condemned
and more loudly complained of
than has been the bounty law.
Reed-vllle was visited with 2
very disastrous fire last Friday
night, thought to be the work of an
incendiary. It began in the stable
belonging to the Lloyd House about
B IL p. NJ. and everything being so
dry and water scarce. 1t was i'm
| possible to check the FIRE feud till
the work Of destruction was com.
| plete. The stable was flied with
hay and burned very rapidly. The
handsome residence Of Mason Wat
son caught from it and was soon
/ consumed. Part Of the contents
were saved in a damaged condition.
The large frame hotel belonging to
Mrs. Lloyd caught and burned 80
last that hardly anything Was saved
and it was by the hardest work
/ that the store Of Mason Watson
was saved. They thought it would
have TO go and carried out every
thing, so that the goods we're badly
damaged. Mr. Watson had $500
insurance all together, but IL will
not cover half his loss, while Mrs.
Lloyd loses everything. her insur.
ance running out not long since.
Her loss is estimated At from a..
800 ~ 200.
