two sons. the only boys be had,
persisted IN the flames. The house
was large one aud partly built OF
logs, and it was in this part that
the family were sleeping, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wotring occupying lower
room. One OF the daughters found
that there was fire in the house and
she aroused the others and the
hoys. and the daughters ran down
stairs IN the hall. and aroused the
father, who ran across the hall and
opened the door leading into the
kitchen. The door swung from him
and the fire leaped out and filled
the hall in an instant. This cut of
the boys. He then ran aud got
ladder and pushed it into one of
the windows, and the older boy
came out on it, but returned; some
suppose he went back for his broth

fire had filled the room, and after
the building had burned up, the
charred and crisped remains were
taken out Of the debris. The legs
up to the knees and the arms up to
the elbows, and the upper portion of
the head, was burned from the
smaller boy, whilst but little of the
Larger one could be found. Nothing
was saved from the house, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wotring and their four
daughters escaping in their night

being done to assist them, and as

DIES HARD.
The tariff is tax. --JournaI.

The tariff is tax.--JournaT.
The old lady of the Journal is
becoming desperate in seeing her
pet fallacies exploded. She has
always cinimed that the tariff is
not tax and that '.the foreigner
paid the tax" She still clinps to
Der idols and refuses to be com
forted, although the leading Repub b
liean papers have discarded this
parrot talk. For fear it has es-
capped the. old lady's notice, for her
eyesight is growing dim from age
and hunting for protection to
American labor, wc will quote an
extract from an editorial in the
New York Tri6unc, which is the
acknowledged Republican authority
''fhe tax on sugar is eminently
a tax of the poor. The richest
family in New York would con-
sumo but little more sugar for each
person than the family of day
laborer. A duty of two cents per
pound would yield ohly about S7O,-
600, 900 nine tenths of its from the
pockets of working people ut the
rate OF nearly &; for every family"
Now, if the old lady will drop
her knitting long enough to put on
her specs and examine the above
quotation from the Tribune, she
will discover that the Tribune adj
mits, first, that the consumer pays
the tariff taxes, and second, that
the tariff burdens fall with oppres-
sive inequality upon the work,ng
people, which is the Democratic
doctrine. Why, then, does the
Republicans object to a reduction
OF the tariff Because it is in the
interest of the poor and against the
interest Of the rich.
Yes, dear old woman, with all
due respect for old age and second
childhood, the tariff as tax.

A WARRIOR BOLD.

The editorial in the Journal, eff
You see it in the Sun, its so,' is
the silliest thing which has emana-
ted from that source for years, and
ouly illustrates the fact that all the
fools are not dead yet. The ARGUS
admires brave and honorable
man, but has nothing but contempt
for a Thereafter and demngogue.
You can set it down as an UNI
controvertible fact, that the un-
ceasing and unprinciplcd agitator,
the fomenter Of discord between
sections, and the assailant of the
rights of others, If called upon TO
go forth and defend his country,
would be the last one to expose his
precious person to the hazards of
the battle field. Such people are
most arrogant, mischiovous and
selfish in time of peace, aud the
most timid and cowardly in time
of war.

1.-The Republican party never

his tariff speech.

For years the Republicans advo-
Gated High Protective Tariff,
because il was for the benefit of

the Republicans, the Protective
Tariff was for the sole benefit of
American labor. 1t would create
''home markets" and build mp
home Industries. High wages
would be paid American woTkmen.
1t is within the recollection of all
how the Republicans pictured pros

rison was elected. Two dollars and
a half day and beefsteak three
times a day was promised Preston

It was just the opposite. At Iron

During the discussion Of the Will
son Bill. Mr.. Clarke, of Missouri,
said three men had made heroes OF
themselves, Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, Rnynor, Of Maryland, and
Tom johnson, Of Ohio, by total
disregard Of their local interests.
The Republican party sneered at
Mr.. Wilson. They called him
Professor" Wilson. They sneered
and seemed TO have q contempt for
intelligence. Laughter.
They said he was sacrificing him
self. II might BE- but he did not
believe It. The storm that arose
against Sir Robert Peel bad driven
him from place and power, but
Englishmen we're now delighted TO
call him one of their greatest
statesmen. On his tomb they had
written: "Tbe man who gave the
people cheap bread" The coal and
iron combines and the other thiev-
ish trusts might pour enough money
into Mr.. Wilson's district to defeat
him. but If they did the people
would take him up in their arms
and bear him to higher place.
They might destroy Congressman,
but in doing 80 they might make q
President. This compliment to
Mr. Wilson was greeted with thun-
deroas applause.
