A Wealthy Butcher is Jailed for Arson.

GREENsBURG. Pa, Aug. 3l.-Frank
Shearer, one of the wealthiest men in the
county, was arrested this evening eharg-

by Charles Wright, negro, arrested at
GastOnville, Washington county, to-day.

4 year and half ago the slaughter

entailing a loss of 1900; IL head of cattle
persisted in the flames. The house was
rebuilt and six months later was again
burned. Camp was employed, and locat-
ed Henry Manhoff, who was supposed 10
know all about the burning. Manhoff
acknowledged that he knew the details,
that he was party TO the burning, and,
at the request of the detective L. Il. Good,
set day when he would reveal the fact.
Four days before that day Manhof died
in conyulsions in prison here.
That trail gone, suspicion was directed
To the negro Wright. Through young

here tonight. He insisted that he WAS
innocent of the crime charged against
him until the Jewell girl was brought in,
when he asked that he be permitted TO
make a confession to justice. He told
that Frank Shearer had hired him to do
the burning, that he was to receive 50 for
the work, and, on account, h;,d been paid

CHAIRMAN WILSON has again been
renominated for Congress seventh
term if reelected. The contest will he
a notable one and will be followed with
interest throughout the country. All
the power of the National Administra-
ton will be exerted in his favor, and
all the machinery and tactics of the
Democratic party will be unscrupu-
lousy used to force his election. In
framing and passing through the House
the tariff bill that bore his name, Mr..
Wilson ruthlessly betrayed the interests
of the people of his State by placing
coal on the free list, and although the
Senate in revising the bill made foreign
coal dutiable at 40 cents per ton, Mr..
Wilson supported the pop-gun bill
which passed the House, repeating that
clause of the present law and again
placing coal on the free list. His nom-
ination was made the occasion for 4
display of the free trade National Adj
ministration's interest in his political
success, and Col. Oates, just nominated
a. the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Alabama, and Congressman
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, the newly
appointed Minister to Russia, both rep
resentatives of the National Admins
tration, were present to assist in giving
him a good send Off Mr.. Wilson HIM
self made a speech denouncing the
protective duties retained in the new
tariff bill, and giving notice that the
fight will still go on until the ''bllght
of protection is swept away" a square
battle has thus been set between Mr..
Wilson, backed 10y all the influence of
the National Administration on the
one side, and the people of the Second
District of West Virginia, whose vast
mining interests are at stake, on the
other, and the real underlying issue is,
shall the Administration force upon
the people of this district Il so-called
representative who is hostile to their
Interests

THE country is now under the new
tariff bill which pleases no one, and
which the President denounced rs a
bill of ''perfidy and dishOnOr'' and re-
fused to sign. Starting out TO over
throw the Mckinley tariff, for the al
legged reason that it was unconstitu-
tional because il was protective, the
Democrats, in full control of every
branch of the Government, fell out like
thieves by the wayside, and after a
year of wrangling and dickering con-
sImmated a bargain and sale in the
shape of the present bastard bill, Of
which no one is willing 10 admit the
paternity. The old legal phrase, nutii-
as .fiius the child of nobody, applies
to il admirably, even it, putatiye father
Professor Wilson-repudiating il pa
ternity.
But this misbegotten child of iniqui-
~ and corruption is now the law of the
land and what fruits il will bring forth
l. the present anxious concern of the
country. 1t was adopted rs an abso-
lutte necessity to bridge over the war
raging in the Democratic ranks and be-
cause the salvation of that party de
pended upon the passage of some kind
of Il bill. That il has not come TO stay
is made perfectly plain by the deelara-
tions of the President, of Chairman
Wilson, of the Democratic leaders in
both the Senate and the House, of the
leading organs of that party, and by
the introduction, in the closing hours
of Congress, of bills which passed the
House, repeating portions of it.
Bad a. is the law and destructive as
il is of many of our industries, it was
hoped that its adoption would tempo
rarily, at least, put an end TO agitation
and permit, to some extent, an adjust
ment of prices and partial resumption
of business, but with the threat of
renewal of the war and a further reduc
ton of duties at the next session of
Congress, now only three months
away, business cannot adjust itself TO
the uncertain and threatening situa-
ton before the country. II Is sheer
folly To cry peace. peace when there
is no peace, and any revival of our in
dustries, warranted by present de
mands, will only be temporary squirt
To meet the necessities of the hour.
Fixed and permanent business cannot
he hoped for until the country knows
what is before it, until capital is insured
a reasonable reward on its Investment,
until labor knows what price il will
command and has reasonable asSuF-
ance of stability in employment.
Agitation, which breeds uncertainty,
is the bane of all industrial progress,
and as il is evident that no settlement
has been reached and that further tar
iff tinkeripg is contemplated, the
country may rs well accept the fact
that there is to he no further prosperity
during the existence of this Admins
tration, backed up by Congress i'm
sympathy with it. There is but one
remedy. one hope, and that is to elect
a majority of Republicans 10 the next
House, which will stand ~ a break
water against the efforts Of the PFezi-
dent and the Senate TO renew the cru
sade against the industries of the coun-
try. The Democrats have warned Us
against themselves, and with sensible
men " Forewarned is foreaFmed.r
