The people have already been
heard on the tariff, the Senate need
devote no further time to listening
to protests and petitions from the
different industries. In 1890 the
Mckinley law was the issue be-
tween the two parties. The Repub-
licans, with the protected manu-
facturers of the country at their
back, defended the law, the Demo-
Gratis, backed by the consumers, at
tackled it. The victory of the Demo
Gratis was most triumphant and Nc
Kinleyism was condemned by over
1 100000 majority Again the Re
publicans appealed to the people IN
1892 and the Mckinley bill was the
issue. Again the people spoke and
again, after the most aggressive
campaign this country had ever
witnessed, Republican protection
was condemned, by even greater
majority than in 1890. And then
the Ways and Means Committee of
the present House spent nearly
five months in listening to the diff
ferent interests of the country, be-
fore framing the tariff bill, in the
majority of instances, it must be
confessed, lending too willing ear
to the Establishments of the pro.
tected industries. Further hear
ing by the Senate finance committee
is unnecessary. Everything was
said to the committee of the House
that would be likely to influence
any Democratic committee, this in
formation is all in the possession of
the Senate Finance Committee.
The people want action rather than
argument. An ascertained evil is
better than "suspensefuI of uncer-
tainty." -Kanawha Gazette.

What Does it Mean!

We find the following special in
the Wheeling Register of Saturday:
CHARLESTON, W. VA, February 8,
Editor X. e. Horner, of the Park
kersburg Sentinel, arrived here this
afternoon and is in conference to-
night with J. e. Chiffon and his
political friends. Mr.. Horner is
here on ivitation of Mr.. Chiffon,
who desires to canvass the Senate
rial situation with the Parkersburg
editor and arrange the prelimina-
ries of the contest for the United
States Senatorship.
Maybe Editor Horner has the
Senatorial situation in his grasp
and will be able to deliver the next
legislature over to whomsoever he
pleases for U. S. Senator, but we
rather think it is only "in his mind. y
Senator Camden had, however, bet
ter keep an eye on Joe Chiffon and
this willy Parkersburg editor.

A partial confirmation of a second
bloody battle between the Turner's and
Nolins OF Harlan county, however, has
been received here.
One more name "a woman) was added
to the list of killed. making four persons
in all. They are Dick Nolin, his brother
John, man named Mullins and Mrs.
Sldmore, a widow, near whose house it
seems the encounter took place.
Mrs. Skidmore was enLeavoring to es-
cape, but was overtaken by a stray
bullet.
Nothing from the Harlan county Off
cia,s has yet been received here
This makes six people who have al
ready been killed since the reouening of
the old Turner Howard feud, from which
sprang the Nolim-Turner shooting of last
week.

LAWS FOR SOLDIERS HOMES.

Proposed Changes in the Management
Causes Much Comment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Certain
changes in the laws governing the man.
agement of the national homes for dis
abled volunteer soldiers, Incorporated in
the sundry civil appropriation for the
next fiscal year, have caused much COM
ment among the veterans.
The board which has been in charge of
the homes is made up of war veterans,
with the exception of the president, chief
justice of the supreme court and secre-
tary of war, who are members ex-officio,
but have not usually taken an active
part in the oversight of the homes, so
that the management has been practical
ly in the hands of the veterans.
There are nearly $4,000 old soldiers in
the seven branches of the homes, the
greatest number in the central establish
mcnt ut Dayton, o. Large sums of
money are handled by the officers, the
appropriation for the next year being
g 300, S75.
In the past the board of managers has
held exclusive control of affairs, but it is
now recommended by the appropriations
committee that the board make an
annual report to the secretary of war to
be submitted by him to congress; that
an inspection of the records, dis
bursements, discipline and manage
ment be made yearly by the inspector
generals department, which is to report
to congress; that the disbursing officers
give bonds approved by the secretary of
war; that their accounts be rendered
monthly TO the war department. for
transmission to the treasury, and that all
laws requiring the board OF managers to
make quarterly visits to the home and
audit the accounts be repealed.
Representative Sayrgs, the chairman
of the appropriations committee, says
that the changes We're not intended to re-
lieve the board of its power.
''The intention was to make the board
account TO the treasury department for
its financial transactions as all other
government officers have to. They are
to be held accountable to the proper de-
partInent for the use of moneys. The
changes We're unanimously approved by
the members of the appropriations COM
mittee without regard toparty, haviugno
object but :: more businesslike system of
management.
Representative Cannon of Illinois. a
prominent member. also said: tThere
was no intention to cripple the managers
of the homes, only to secure more intelli-
gent administration and an oversight of
the accounts of the board by the depart
ment. The old system by which the
board could etp-e its members fees is done
away with The soldiers will be better
off that ever, although the members of
the board may have less fees"

FOUND ON THE PRAIRIE.
The Remains of Annie Cruggle Dis.
covered.

The mystery which has surrounded
| the disappearance of Annie Cruggle, q
sister of Mrs. Eli Gibson of Eaton ave
has been cleared up in the finding of her
remains on the prairie near Calhan a
week ago. A dispatch from Colorado
Springs to the Denver Republican OF
the 10 inst relates the following story:
Coroner NARROW returned today from
| Calhan, where he held an inquest over
the remains OF the girl found on the
prairie several days since. The girls
name was Annie Cruggle. She was 10
years old and came from Pueblo last
spring with the family of her sister
Mrs h. Gibson, to ranch near Calan
In May the girl came to Colorado
| Springs to work in a boarding house
| The last her sister heard from her was
letter dated Colorado Springs. July %
1t is believed the girl left here early in
August and went out to Calhan, where
she procured bottle of strychnine at
the store of II. Bates in town and started
for her sisters ranch and committed
suicide on the way.
The autopsy showed that death had
come as a result of a dose of strychnine.
For some time it is stated the girl had
been disappointed over love affair and
at various times had shown her sister a
bottle of strychnine and threatened to
commit suicide. The body was beyond
recognition as the coyotes had devoured
the flesh from the bones. The empty
bottle was among the bones of the hand
She was identified by her clothes. Her
sister took charge of the remains.
