FATHER AND SON WOUNDED.
Shot by Man Who Had Entered the Room
ofTheir DAUGHTER.

Oh Inolr Oau&nUer.
Pine Bluff, Ark, March 25.-Josh Sea-
man and his son, Isaac Seaman. are at
the point of death at Walnut Lake, Ark,
forty-five miles south of here, due to gun
shot wounds as the result of a battle
which was fought at that village last Sat
urday.
The elder Seaman was shot in his right
side and through the lung, and Nilsson re-
ceived bullet through the right knee
Blood poison has already complicated
the case of the latter, and neither is ex-
pected to live. The cause of the tragedy
dates back eight months. On the night
of July Miss Sadie Seaman. the daugh-
ter and sister of the dying men, who had
been receiving attentions from Isaac
Bangston, returned late from an enter
tainment, which had been given at the
house of neighbor. The young woman
went to her room to retire, and soon af-
ter she entered -Bangston came out of a
Miss Seaman screamed and Bangston
ran down stairs
The parents of the GIRL attracted by
the outcry, saw Bangston hurriedly leave
the house with pistol In his hand. He
made his escape and was not heard of
until last September, when he surrender
ed to the authorities and was indicted
for attempted burglary, assault with in
tent to kill and attempted rape.
The feud between the families and
friends of Seaman and Bangston has
been kept up every since, but there was
no blood shed until Saturday

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

II would willingly defend free trade
with my life" said Mr.. Bryan In his first
speech I'm Congress, and as he Is aow
defending free silver with his tongue
only il Is easy 20 see TO which policy he
is most devoted.
Democratic orators and organs may
eyade the tariff. but the worSingmcn Of
the country cannot. for TO them it pre-
scnts the unavoidable issue of work and
prosperity or idleness and poverty.
While the Popocrat demagogues are
shouting down with the rich" the
Republican party advances with the cry
up with the poor" and proposes the
enactment of measures that will provide
work for the workers and prosperity
for all.
Sam Jones is nothing II not express
sivc. lie declares that he would rather
climb n ladder with an armful of cells
tnan 10 undertake 10 fuse with the mid
dlc-of- hcroad-Populists.
The workingmnn does not want q
cheaper dollar. He wants steady en-
ployment paid for In dollars as good as
gold
The simplest way 20 elect Mckinley 10
60 vote for him, Mr.. Bourkc Cochran OBJ
serves 10 his fellow Democrats. and that
remark contains all the wisdom of all
the ages.
The one question Bryan never answers
Is the simple one, How about free
trader
The Bryan party Is made mp Of all
kinds of factions. led by all sorts OF
cranks, and If IL should get into office IL
couldn't work together.
In dcnouncing wealth the Democratic
organs are consistent with their party,
for II has done everything IL could to
make the people poor and keep them SO.
The Republican pledge 10 promote the
free coinage Of silver by international
agreement offers the only solution Of the
money problem which good business men
can accept. and for that reason even the
Democrats among them are working with
the Republican party this year and viii
vote for Mckinley.
Any Popocrat who believes that Bry-
nm can carry Kentucky when Palmer h a
native and Buckncr native and n resi-
dent of the Blue Grass state, doesn't
know the Kentucky nature.
IL is easy to see from Thomas II.
Reeds speeches down In Maine that he
Is perfectly serene and happy. Hut then
he usually feels that way. He was born
so.
Mr.. Bryan crrs in saying that II Is idle
curiosity that draws people 10 his meet
ings. II Is both interesting and profit

one ounce Of silver. From 1876 TO 1880,
while silver was going down, the aver
$l.49 per bushel. Between 1881 and
1885 the average price of wheat Mt Bonn
bay was S1.1O per bushcl, aad from 1856
10 1890 S1.01 per bushcl, although silver
had been tending upward. From 1891
to 1879 the average price of wheat at
Bombay was % cents per bushel. Had
wheat followed the price of silver IL should
have been only 6S cents per bushel
Cotton exports from India to Europe
have been equally at variance with
the theories advanced by Mr.. Bryan.
In 1874 India exported 1.236,SS2 bales
and in 1875 1,2i1.526 bales. During
the five years following its cotton ex-
port was below 1.O0O.OO0 bales. In
1879 il was only GIL ,45S bales. During
the FIVE years ending with 1895 the cot
ton export from India has been steadily
decreasing In 1891 il was 1.02S.41
bales: i'm 1892. 054. 900 bales: In 1893,
S57 al bales; in 1894, 797, 07O bales: in
1895, 625.000 bales. In contrast with
this the United States exports Of cotton
have been steadily increasing. In 1890
they amounted to 5,O2O0l3 bales; in
1891. 5.S20.7T9 bales in 1892, 5.S01 al
bales: i'm 1893. 4 .431. Do bales: IN 1894,
1897 500 bales in 1895, G.965. 1913 bales.
Thus il will be seen that the India
bugbear has no foundation, but has
been cUnjufrd up for political purposes

The farming industry is unquestiona-

employed in these establishments, who

them with food. II the frcc-trade move
mcnt led by Mr.. Bryan goes on TO its
natural conclusion, whole lines of in
dustry which have survived the Wilson
bill will be ruined and hundreds OF thou
sands OF employees Will bc thrown out

The conclusion ought 10 be plain
90 every thoughtful man engaged Ia ag-
ricultural pursuits. We cannot afford 10
reduce our wage rates 10 those of for
egn countries. We must make for our
selves all articles needed for our ordi-
nary, everyday uses, importing only
such Injuries as foreign countries have
special facilities for producing. Tariff
for revenue only means the ruin of the
farmer, and tariff for protection means

ton. and good home markets for every
thing the farmer has 20 sell.

HOW THEY DID 1T.

The Republican delegates from
the territories are earnestly at
work trying to perform bunco
game on their constituents.
Some time ago the Republican
bosses gave orders that no bills
should be passed through the Con-
gress admitting any of the terri
torres to the union as states.
Speaker Reed and his eastern
lieutenants made no secret Of the
fact that they wanted no more free
coinage senator's from the west, and
that the creation of more new
states would mean more free silver
senators. Reed gave orders to his
committee on territories to report
against Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma to statehood. There is
reason to believe that the delegates
from these three territories thor
oughly understand the Republican
plan and, to a certain extent, ac-
qulsce In it. The action of the
committee, however, in voting un-
favorably on the bill admitting
Arizona was more than the dele
gates expected. What they ex-
pected would be done was to let
the bills sleep IN the committee,
and then they could tell their peo-
pie at home that if the territories
showed Republican majority next
fall the bills admitting them to
statehood would be passed during
the short session Of congress.
After much pleading with Reed,
the delegates from the territories
succeeded in having the committee
on territories reconsider it's action,
that it's action reporting favorably
on the bill admitting Arizona to
statehood. Now the the bills will
slumber in the committee and die
there in course of time. In the
mean time Murphy, Catron and
Flynn, the delegates from Arizona
New Mexico and Oklahoma re-
spectively, intend to inform their
people that the bills could not be
reached during this session but that
if the Republican skies are bright
when the short session convenes
next winter, all three territories
will be admitted.
1t is we'll that the people of these
territories should understand the
situation exactly as it Is. Catron,
Murphy and Flynn have been for
mally notified by the Republica n
leaders that their territories will
not be admitted into the union so
long as the Republican party can
prevent 1T. 1t is only for Republi-
can consumption in Oklahoma New
Mexico and Arizona that the COM
mittee on territories will refuse to
act on the bills instead Of report
ing against them.-St. Louis

MARCUS A. SMITH FOR 1896.

The attitude of the National
administration and that of the
National leaders of the Republican
party oft calls forth the inquiry as
to who is the man in Arizona most
advisable to lead the Democracy at
the approaching fall election. 1t
is an acknowledged fact univers-
ally admitted that the Democracy
of the country through the express
sion of the masses condemn the
financial policy of the Cleveland
administration. When the strug-
Cling masses of the country are
fighting a battle for bread, they
are not to be turned aside from the
struggle by appeals to the preju-
dices of former years. The inter
ests of family and home find the
closest lodgment to the heart of
the peasant in every land, therefore
the masses of the country are
looking to those upon whom they
feel that they can rely in contest
which so vitality affects every family
where there are mouths to feed and
bodies to clothe. The masses
have come to place the financial
question foremost and in front of
every national question now before
the public. Upon that question,
the masses of Arizona feel that
Oaks Murphy has foully deserted
them according to the charge which
Murphy has never dared to deny.
He belongs to that school of pol
iticians which is controlled by the
banking interests Of the country
who do not feel single heart-throb
for the hewers of wood and drawers
of water. The greatest surprise is
that Murphy should have exposed
himself so early in his career, and
so openly sacrificed the chief inter
est of his home people at the com
mand Of Eastern moneyed pluto
Gratis. Oaks Murphy is politically
mere reminiscence, worse than
that, he is political corpse await
ing resuscitation. The Republi-
cans of Arizona dare not nominate
him. We repeat, they dare not do
Fit. They will not do so at their
Approaching convention.
NJ Compare his record with that of
Hon. Marcus A. Smith, when that
gentleman was Arizona's Represen-
tative. Democrats ana Replbli-
cans alike felt pride in their
Representative. His record at all
times proved him to be the fearless
champion of our dearest interests,
and he at all times commanded the
respect of the foremost men of every
state. Every visitor from Arizona
to Washington could find words of
commendation, at all times and
npon every hand for Arizona's
Representative, The whole people
of Arizona regardless Of party
know the real personal worth OF
Mark Smith. With him as the nom
inec of the Democracy next fall the
masses, who have heretofore lost
heart, will re.enlist stundcr his banner
and fight the old battle of victor y.
He never deserted 4 friend. He
never betrayed a1tsust. He never
loFt fight H isa Stranger to
defeat. Among The many he is the
strongest 10 the Democratic ranks.
He mist be the nominee if he will
accept and lead our cause.
