POLITICAL DRIFT.

ES-The democratic party is all sugared with the same stick, from the sugar-cured administration down. Philadelphia Press.
 GY"The democratic idea of relieving distress IS to nominate rich men for office on a promise to bleed freely for the benefit of the party.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.
 cY"Under Harrison the treasury had sufficient stock of both gold and sil- yer. Under Cleveland it's stock of sil yer is discredited, and its stock of gold is in constant peril of evaporation.-N. Y. Recorder.
 -The scarcest thing in politics this year is cheering for Cleveland in dem- ocratic conventions. When his name is mentioned, the response is faint and perfunctory, and the subject is changed as soon as possible. Louis Globe Democrat.
 eB- Every republican will hope the story is true that Cleveland hopes to make Gresham the next democratic presidential candidate. There is no more unpopular man in the United States to-day, nor one whom it would be easier to defeat.-Toledo Blade.
 eB Democrats will be glad to know that the veterans of the war are dying rapidly, and we should hear no more of the democratic jest with regard to the long life of pensioners.

 sB-The platform of the national re- publican league, adopted in Denver, is strong and clear-cut enunciation Of republican doctrine. It embraces pro- tection for labor and capital, reef procity, fair wages, opposition to cor poration rule in the nation and Tn the state, gratitude to the union veteran, sound money, with silver on an equal ity with gold, practical civil service re- form, and the assertion of American ideas in American affairs-a creed that will meet the enthusiastic endorse ment of republicans everywbere.-To ledQ Blade.

A BRAINLESS PARTY.

Democrats Lack Even tho Elementary
 Principles of statesmanship.
 It is becoming very evident, if there was ever any doubt about it, that there is not room in the United States for two protectionist parties at the same time. The democratic party must have discovered this before it framed and adopted the Chicago plat form, and by various devices, some of them not particularly reputable, made their opposition to protection win in 1892 No sooner, however, had they undertaken to put their free-trade theories into practice than they found nearly the whole coun- try ar:ayed solidly against them. The very fear of what they might do created paralysis of domestic industry, a withdrawal of capital, and shrinkage in the de- mand for labor, accompanied, neces- sarily, by reduction in wages. Then the democratic party grew frightened at the demon it had involved and fled for refuge to the fortress of protection. But instead of knocking at the gate and demanding entrance, it climbed over the walls and sneaked through the wickets, and even when inside de- nied that it had asked shelter of pro- lection and asserted that it still ad- hered to the banner of what it called tariff reform.

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.
A Reliable Source of Revenue for Govern
 mental Purposes.

"A neiihDis SOuTse OI IAeFcnue TUT uOVeIu- mental Purposes.
 The Canadian parliament has been convulsed with the question of protec- | tive duties, almost equal to that of the ! national congress of the United States. Very truly have the friends of protec- tion in Canada said: Ut should not be forgotten by our electors of Canada that when the liberal party ask them to abandon protection to home indus- tries, they are asking them to do a thing which the people of every other country in the world, with the single exception of Great Britain, have re- fused to do."
 Sir John Mcdonald is quoted as hay ing said, upon a certain occasion: ''The American farmer raises his one hundred bushels of barley and starts for his market and receives one hun dred dollars. The Canadian farmer raises his one hundred bushels of bar ley and starts for the American mar ket and is met by the government of- ficer to whom he must pay fifteen dol lars, before he can put it upon the market, where he receives his one hun dred dollars, so that he returns home with only eighty-fve dollars, having left the other fifteen dollars with the American custom house officers" Pro- tection compels Canada to pay tribute to the United States.
 What is said in the foregoing aptly illustrates the workings and methods of protection throughout the world. The people of the United State are now beginning to realize the truth of this practical method of raising revc- nue, since the whole country has been thrown into panic for nearly two years by the promised change in the bill now before congress.

Making a grand total of.

These figures will in large meas ure explain matters to those who have been skeptical with reference to the use of money in the elections in New York city, by which Tammany con- tinues its power, and all efforts to de- throne it have been futile. In 1892, when so much was expected from the city of New York in sustaining Tam many against the arbitrary candidacy of Grover Cleveland, it was thought that break would be made, but here is seen the silent force which must bind together Tammany and the can didate of the democratic party, no matter what the conditions may be.
 Tammany was not in a condition to repudiate anything. Those who read in the future of democratic campaign funds have only to seek an opportuni- ty to read the full reports made by the committee above referred to, which no doubt will soon appear in book form for the edification of the student of American political conomy.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Facts Brought Out in the Tammany In-
 yestigation.


 During the consideration of the tariff bill in the senate few weeks ago it was charged that the sugar trust had contributed largely to the democratic campaign fund in 1892. Figures have recently been furnished by the New York democratic newspapers, and authenticated by the Lexow commit tee, which warrant the statement that a democratic campaign fund has been usually raised by other methods than tkat of personal contribution. The following figures are authenticated by at least five of the leading New York papers as the sum raised in one year from the following sources:
 From dIsorderly houses. $8 8l2O,000 from saloons. .;.......''.'.'.......... l,s20OOO From gambling houses. es............... l65,000 From merchants and peddlers ........ 50.000 From new members of the police force. 60,00O

WILLIAM EVANS BLOODY WORK

Jealousy the Cause of the Terrible
Tragedy-On Account of His Worthless
ness His Wife Loft Him and Went to
Live with Her Uncle Evans Killed the
Uncle, Fatally Wounded His wife, aud
Then Committed suicide.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8.--Jealousy
caused a sensational triple tragedy in
this city this morning.
William N. Evans Of No. 1854 Willow
street, Frankfort, suburb Of this city,
shot aud killed Louis Hecht at the lat
ter's home, No. 1914 Montgomery ave-
nue.. lie then shot his wife, Eva Evans,
through the neck, fatally wounding her,
and afterward killed himself with the
same revolver.
WAS A WORTHLESS CHARACTER.
Evans, who is said to have been u
shiftless soft of fellow, was employed
at Green IL Bault's dye works, Frank
ford. Because of his worthlessness his
wife left him six weeks ago and went
to live with the family OF her uncle,
Louis Hecht.
AT 2 o'clock this morning Mrs, Evans
was busy preparing breakfast, and her
uncle was sitting at a table in the
kitchen, drinking bottle of soda water.
OPENED A DEADLY FIRE.
Evans, who had been standing about
the neighborhood, late last night gained
entrance to the rear part of the house
by an alley which runs Off Twelfth
street.
AS soon as he entered the kitchen
door he began firing at Hecht and his
wife. The first shot fired struck Hecht
behind the left ear, killing him instantly.
Evans then fired another shot at the
PROSTATE man, after which he turned
the revolver on his wife. The terrified
woman started from the house, and as
she rushed past her crazed husband, he
sent bullet into her neck.
The woman dropped TO the floor, and
as she lay there Evans fired two more
shots at her, both of which went wide
of the mark.
PUT A BULLET THROUGH HIS HEART.
He then went to the middle room in
the second story and placing the reyol
yer to his left breast sent a bullet
through his heart. So close had the re.
volver been held to his breast that his
clothing was burning when he wa;
found by policeman.
Mrs, Evans was taken to the hospital
where the physicians say there is bu
slight hopes of her recovery.
WAS INsANELY JEALOUS.
Hecht and Evans, were each 30 year
of age, and Mrs. Evans, who it is said
was a hard working woman,i three year
younger.
Evans had always been insanely
jealous of his wife, and had threatened
to kill both her and Hecht on seyera
occasions.
The latter was afraid of Evans ant
always slept with big baseball bat a
the head OF his bed, in order to be pre-
pared for sudden attack.

Miss Emma Bates Made an ALLY of an
Opponsnt by Promising to Marry Him
If Elected.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Aug. S.-A
paper published at Forman, N. D.,
brings out romantic incident in con-
nection with the nomination by the
Republican State convention of Miss
Emma F. Bates of Valley City, to be
State superintendent of schools.
Miss Bates had charge of her own
canvass for the nomination and found
formidable opposition in John II. De-
vine and Professor J. II. Holland. She
was able to side-track the latter by
making herself solid with the Young
Men's Republican League.
She then entered into negotiations
with Mr.. Devine, first demanding I'M
conditional surrender. This he refused.
After further negotiations it is said he
agreed to pull off the track providing
she would, if elected State superintend-
emit, make him her deputy and marry
him in the bargain.
After some elaboration she agreed to
do this provided he would stump the
State for her. This was also agreed to-.
AS he is powerful speaker, Miss Bates
is conceded to have made the shrewdest
political deal yet known.
