Blown Open.

We learn that one night last week,
during the latter part of it, two safes
were blown open at Ehzabethton by
burglars and robbed OF what money
they contained, about $30-the shoe
factorys safe, and that OF the wooden
mills. 1t was supposed that the par
ties had come to Johnson City. Ac-
cordingly Sheriff Bradley came down
last Sunday and searched the town
thoroughly, but could not find them.
On Monday, in company with Officer
Remine, he arrested, on the outskirts
OF the town, a couple of men and ez.
amined them on all the points neces-
sary, after which they were allowed to
depart in peace, as they were not the
men wanted, The guilty parties are
yet at large.

Erwin and johnson City.

Last Friday Erwin sent her base
ball pets to Johnson City to engage in
game OF ball with the Reds, whose
metal they have before tried. The
Erwin boys have earned for themselves
quite reputation, and it was expected
that a fine game would be the result,
as Johnson City is known to contain
some first class base ball material, but
the large and eager crowd OF both la
dies and gentlemen that had assem-
bled on the grounds to witness the
game went away sorely disappointed,
as both mines utterly failed to do them
selves justice. Erwin can deservedly
boast q some very fine players, but
theie are times when even profession
ais fail to maintain their records. and
to show themselves worthy of well
earned regulations. Erwin failed in
this respect Friday. The same is
equally true Of Johnson City's team.
Both sides played badly; in fact, the
game was rotten, the score standing
at its termination 25 to "a in favor OF
Johnson City. Both sides made ride
ulous errors, but it had to be so they
just couldn't play, and that's the long
and short Of it. OF course few OF
the players on each side did well, but,
rs a general thing, the opposing mines
worked hard enough doing nothing
from two to nearly FIVE o'clock to have
mauled $4,000 rails in the same length
OF time.
The Erwin boys itched all over ard
banted the Reds for another game n
Saturday, which was accepted and
the game played, and it was decided
Improvement on that of Friday. In
the beginning OF this game, as far as
the sixth inning, it looked as If the
Reds were determined to rush through
and wipe the earth up with Erwin
giving them no show at all; but, true
to their metal, Erwin rallied, stood
manfully by her colors and played
ball awhile for all it was worth, being
quick to take advantage in every CASE
afforded by the errors or carelessnesl
Il their opponents. There was SOM
very fne playing done at one stage o
the game by both sides, and, while tht
Reds led Erwin FIVE runs at the con
clusion OF the game, the score stand
ing 16 to II, they had to work to do it
There was considerable contention
Friday (Which is to be regretted OF
the part OF both clubs, but everything
finally ended we'll, and everybod,
seemed perfectly satisfied.
A great drawback to the game il
Johnson City is the manner in which
the outsiders crowd around the box o
home base and use their lungs. Hal
fhe time it is an utter imposslbilit,
for the players to hear the decisions o
the umpire, SO vociterops and lou'
and numerous and continuous d.
these outsiders utter their exclama
tions and uncalled for slang. In trutl
the onlookers crowd too close to tn
players and have too much to say en-
rely. It's a downright nuisance an

OMNIBUS SILENCE.
Republican Platforms and Orators silent rs
to MckinleNIsnl and the Income Tax.

The most remarkable things about
the present republican campaign are
the things not discussed. Not only l.
the hated income tax treated with
silent cont tempt. hut next To nothing
is said about what kind of tariff we
may expect when the republicans
again have full sway. Even Mckinley
is not promising that his 'bravest and
best tariff measure ever passed. as the
New York Tribune fondly styled il.
will be reinforced when the republic
ans are again in power. The most that
he will say is that the country must
have protection" ard will not survive
without il. Harrison and Reed are. If
possible. more unsatisfactory than Me-
kinley upon this point. They contine
their efforts mainly TO the hard
times" that are the result Of demo
cratic rule. neglccting TO state that
these hard times began while republic
an laws were still enforced by repub-
lican officials and that prosperity has
begun to return swiftly as soon as the
McKinley law was abolished.
Thus far only one republican orator
could be inveiglcd into making any
definite statements as regards the pros
poets for future tariff legislation under
republican supremacy. In Illinois SEN
ator Cullom was asked bv Franklin
Mac Vcagh. the democratic candidate
for United States senator, II
the Mckinley law would be re-
enacted if the republicans rcgained
power. The senator hazardcd
the prediction that the Mckinley law
would not be re-cnacted in its entirety.
lie said that after II had been in force
four years il needed revising and that
II the republicans had continued in
power they would undoubtedly have
revised il in accordance with their
policy in the past. The senator did
not explain his Dclphic answer by
stating IL he meant a revision upwards
or one downwards. The policy" Of
republicans. as stated in their plat
forms. is To reform downwards; their
practice has been to reform upwards

RATIFIED WOOL GROWERS.
They Howl and Howl. but Market Reports
Are Against Them.

The Ohio wool grower, met in an
nual convention for the thirtieth time
few days ago. and we do not wonder
that they were filled with impotent
rage as they contemplated the fruit OF
their labors for generation. In 1867
they succeeded in getting monstrous
duties laid for their benefit. only to see
them lowered in lss3 Then they per-
sisted in exacting the uttermost
farthing from Mckinley in 1880, with
the result of stirring up such indigna-
ton against their whole crew that they
are now left without any protection at
all. Meanwhile the price of wool has
been steadily going down year by year
For more than "A year the laws OF trade
have been setting protection on wool
at defiance, and American wool has
been practically on a free trade basis.
'Our property THAT is. the right to
levy taxes)," says Judge Law
renee has been annihilated." This
may be admitted, with rejoicing. But
the real property of wool growers
in the sense Of their actual sheep and
actual wool. as distinguished from
sheep and wool for platform purposes
only. has not been touched by the new
tariff. One audacious man rose To af-
firm as much in the convention. and to
point out that the price Of American
wool was actually advancing, Such
heresy took away the breath of the
wool kings for time. but they soon
recovered ii su Efficiently to villifv the
unhappy farmer who ventured To set
up as "A student of markets, not of max
inns. But. though they howlcd him
down. they cannot howl down market
reports. Here is one sent from Chi
cago. just as the wool growers con
vention was meeting. which speaks Of
the wooden markets as firm" with
4 holders determined not To reduce val

proposition that 1.-THE great medium
