W. A. CROWLEY DEAD.

News of the death of the well
known railway contractor, W, A.
Crowley, who departed this life at
the Cosmopolitan Hotel, in this city
at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
came as sudden and sorrowful sur
prise to those of our people who
were acquainted with the deceased.
Many knew that he was confined to
his room at the hotel by an attack
Of malarial fever, but only a few in
innate friends were aware of the
dangerous character of his illness.
Mr., Crowley had succeeded in max
ing numerous friends during his
comparatively brief stay in our
midst, by his upright bearing and
honest dealing in all business mat
tiers. The remains were shipped to
Kansas City, Mo-, the former home
Of deceased, yesterday for inter-

John c. Fay, prominent lawyer of

general the world has ever known. 1t

with party of officers at prominent

dinner was progressing in satisfactO-

when suddenly Sheridan, the guest of
honor, arose from his chair, looked
towards the center of the table, raised
his right hand to his temple, gave a
military salute, and resumed his seat.
Everybody present called in chorus
for an explanation of the remarka bic

with a laugh: Il always salute in the

Sheridan and the Mule Driver.

Gen. Cyrus Bussey, late assistant
secretary of the interior, was colonel
of the Third Iowa cavalry, and served
for a time under Sheridan. Gen.
Bussey narrates an incident of the
pugnacious character OF the greal cav
airy general, which occurred long be-
fore he attained eminence as COM
mander of troops in the field. Sheri-
dan was a captain doing duty as a
quartermaster in southwest Missouri
in the early days of the war. A pro-
vision wagon with team of ten mules
was stuck in the mud near Springfield
and the driver began to unreasonably
and numerically belabor the unfort-
unatc mules. Capt. Sheridan, in
fatigue uniform, without any insignia
of his rank, mounted on stout black
horse, was driving along the left OF

These senators misrepresented their
states, the democratic CONSTITUENCIES of

protection and organized fraud. They
have betrayed the country. They have
been false to the duty which they were
instructed to perform
If these false democrats shall be suc-

chargeable to the democratic party of
the nation. 1t will be simply another
republican victory-a victory of the

The people have been betrayed. But
the cause is not lost. The contest will

months ago, when the Maple Leafs af-
fairs were reorganized. Many fat years
of prosperity have not changed Mr..
Egan's easy familiarity. In moments
of leisure he delights to speak of the
time when he picked up knowledge
of railroading in the shops of the Illi-
nois Central railroad at Amboy, Ill.
Throughout the strike Mr. Egan
claimed to be true friend of railroad
workers. and there are but few who
accuse him of having been unfair. He
believed the stand taken by Mr.. Debs
and the American Railway union to be
a menace to the peace of the country
and ruin to railroad property, and en-
tered the fight with the determination
of routing the strikers. But it must
not be supposed that Mr.. Egan is an
enemy of organized labor. On the con-
trary, he has at various times expressed
himself as favoring the maintenance Of
conservative unions.

the road when the blows and curses OF
the driver attracted his attention and
he demanded the reason why the ami
mails were being punished so severely.
The driver gave no reply but lifted
his voice in utterance of oaths and
curses, while he struck one mule a
terrific blow with the heavy butt end
of his whip. Capt. Sheridan shouted
ngain to the driver and received in re-
ply profane threat that if he did not
mind his own business he would get
the same kind of treatment the mule
was getting. Without stopping to
state his rank and demand obedience,
Capt Sheridan slid from his saddle
and grabbed the ruffian by the throat
Although q much shorter man than
the WAGNER, Sheridan was more
athletic and scientific. In a moment
he had the human brute upon his
back in the mud, and then, twisting
the whip from his hand, piled il 1iber-
ally to tho legs and arms of the mule
driver until he howled for mercy.
Sheridan allowed the frightened bully
to arise, and, handing him his whip,
said: Il am Capt Sheridan, quarter
master of this army, and if you don't
get this wagon ont pretty quick 1 viii
thrash you again"
The WAGNER thereupon took hold OF
the wheel and called two other men to
his assistance, and IN less than a minute
the wagon was on its way. In the
meantime, Sheridan, having mounted
his horse, disappeared in the woods

A New Workers Baseball story.

A very fine social seance was broken
up, just as the good stories were being
told, by Serene Payne, of New York.

appeared upon the scene, and said: II

go with me to the baseball grounds
this afternoon, and see the Washington
club get a drubbing from the New
York giants. Our club has suffered by
the loss of old Roger COnnor, the big
first baseman; but it is 4 good enough
club yet to chaw up the Washington
leather chaSers- Why, one day last
May" continued Mr.. Payne, Il saw the
New York nine go to bat and they
batted all around the entire team
twice. Conner made four homo runs in
that game, Ward made seventeen base
hits, the bases stolen aggregated nine
ty-three, and"-herc the entire meet
ing broke up in n chatting row. Payne
was claiming more than any member
of the Ananias society could admit, and
the crowd adjourned to the ball ground
where the New York club received q

while tail-enders of the baseball league

THEY ARE NOT DEMOCRATS.
Why the Tariff Reform Has Not Bee
Brought About.

Why the Tariff Reform Has Not Been
Brought About.
The democratic party is not in power
at the national capital. 1t cannot con-
troll legislation in congress. 1t is help
less to pass an important and vital
measure, which was promised in the
democratic platform of 1892, and which
by an enormous majority the people
demanded at the ballot box.
The plighted faith of the democra tic
party stands unredeemed. 1t has been
powerless to fulfill its pledges. The work
which it was appointed to do-which
declared should be done-has not been
done. One year and four months ago a
democratic president was sworn into
office, and the term of national con-
eress began with nominal democrat
ic ma jority in both the senate and the
house.
There was no such majority. Eight
or nine senators elected as democrats
have acted in alliance with the repub-
licans. They have not cast a demo
cratic vote on the tariff bill. They have
voted just as Mckinley would have
voted had he been in the senate.
1t is an error to say that the demo-
Gratis are in power while faction of
senators classed as such-enOugh in
number to destroy the democratic ma
jority in the senate--are casting re-
publican votes, conspiring with repub-
licau leaders to defeat the democratic
tariff bill and are in open insurrection
against the democratic sentiment of
the country.
The president and the house of rep
resentatives are united in a determine
ton that the demociatic pledges of
1892 shall be kept in good faith with
the people. They have presented a
tariff bill which was the best that
the necessities of the case would au-
thorize-not perfect. but long step
in advance "A measure of practical re-
form.
The senate refused to accept this
measure. Under republican control
by majority composed of the regular
corrupt republican forces and a guer-
rilla contingent of bogus democrats
the democratic tariff bill appears des-
tined to defeat If anything shall be
saved. it viii be merely what the
