THATDYNIMITEBOMB


No Clue ms to the Perpetrator of the Crime
The President of the Winchester Arms
Company Says No Reward Has Been Of
fered.
The mystery of the dynamite ex-
plosion at Major Albee's house in West
vile on Thursday evening still remains
unsolved. The police had no clue to Of
fer last evening at to the motive of the
perpetrators of the crime. All sorts of
speculations were abroad yesterday but
none of them materialized.
The detectives did not have anything
to divulge as to the cleWs they We're
following.
1t was rumored yesterday morning
that there was good ground to think
the bomb was placed in the position by
a woman. The conductor of one of the
Edgewood avenue cars was quite sure
that he saw a woman on his car that
night that might have committed the
deed. AS the day passed this theory
was exploded. Then came the secret
enemy theory, which in turn vanished.
The police have said that there is not
a sign of a motive in sight, and it has
been almost concluded that the act was
that of a crank
There have been no traces found of
the alleged bomb, only the effects of the
explosion are to be seen.
1t was stated yesterday afternoon
that there had been conference be-
tween President Bennett of the Win
chester Repeating Arms company, the
selectmen and the mayor and that a
reward would be offered for the capture
of the culprit
President Bennett said last night that
no such conference had been held. He
had been in New York all day.

men is being formed to go to the St.
Johns Hermit islands, in the South

slave traders and it is represented
that there are thousands of women

IT is rumored that the war vessel
Texas will be abandoned. 1t is looked
upon as entirely unseaworthy, and it
is said that had the recent trouble in
which it sank into the mud, happened
in deep water, all on board would
have gone down with it. The plans
for this vessel were obtained from
England during Secretary Whitney's
administration over the navy depart
ment and before the vessel was half
completed, it was found that they
were very faulty, and had to be re-
modelled but never could be fixed up
satisfactory. The Texas has cost the
government over 81, 100000 and repre-
sents a tremendous blunder on the
part Of our navy officials who were in
charge when it's plans were adopted.
American engineers have proved more
successful in drawing plans, then
have those which have been obtained
from abroad.

free of mortgages, the Populist wall,
so constantly heard during the recent
campaign, that the farmers were be-
ing ground to pieces by the heel of
the "money power" appears to have
been merely carefully rehearsed
stage shrek. 1t did not come from
the farmers themselves, but from a
noisy crowd of cheap little demago
CUES who always rush into national
campaign, hoping to profit by ex-
plotting the imaginary woes of their
brethren. The American farmers
are neither insolvent nor hypocritical.
They have suffered from hard times
like everybody else, but the notion
that they were either bankrupt or dis
loyal was Populist falsehood which
received its sternest rebuke in those
states where the agricultural vote is
the heaviest"

IT is wonderful how the Bryanites

IT is wonderful how the Bryanites
can divine just what the Republicans
are going to do. For instance they
are telling how it is the intention of
the incoming administration to issue
bonds to the extent of not less than
100000, 900 for the purpose of retir-
ing the greenbacks. Nothing of that
kind has been thought Of. In fact it
would be very strange indeed, if
much thought had been given the
subject of currency reform as yet,
much less deciding upon any of the
details of the matter. To many of
the Popocrat photographers who thus
divine the alleged intentions Of the
new administration, the wish is
father to the thought. They
would like to see some unpopular
move made, in hope that their side
might profit thereby, but they are not
likly to be thus gratified.

WHO ARE THE "JACKALS?"

The LeSueur Sentinel seems to be
la boring under the impression that
the Republicans committed tremen'
dous frauds in the recent election in
this state and are opposed to re-
count because of it. But the Repub.
licans are not opposing a recount
The Sentinel says, going on the
ground that some Republicans have
committed frauds against the people,
sit would be we'll worth twice the
twelve Thousand dollars which this
contest would cost, to have few OF
these jackals brough to time" Has
the Sentinel ever stopped to think
who ''these jackals" are that it wants
brought to time? Has it ever stop
ped to think that on nearly, If not
every election board in the state
which counted the ballots at the
Popocrats had majority of the
judges, and that if any wrong was
done it was committed by it's own
party? Before it sends up such a
howl about "Jackals," it would be
we'll for it to find out what it is
talking about. Now if what the
Popocrats say is true, we will wager
that there was not thought of
fraud in any of it. The ballots were
thrown out through ignorance. But
it is not probable that votes were
thrown out to any great extent. The
ST. Paul Dispatch says that close in
quiries in one of the interior counties
where doubtless as large number Of
ballots were marked wrong for presi-
dental electors as in any county in
the state, developed the fact that
they were all counted for governor
and other candidates where they
were marked correctly for those candi-
dates where they were marked correct
ly for those candidates. They were
thrown out only on the presidential
vote. 1t is not likely that it is any
different in any other counties of the
state. Doubtless there were in
stances where some ballots were
thrown out, but we believe that a re-
count would show that they were not
enough to effect the result.

CONGRESS-.

At noon today the second and last
session Of the 54th. congress convened.
There has been much speculation as
to what it will do in the way of legis-
latiOn, but the general impression is,
that outside of the appropriat bills
there will be little or no legislation
of general nature enacted. What
the Republicans may decide upon in
the way of revenue legislation is as
yet uncertain. There seems to be a
considerable diversity of opinion
among Republican members as to
what shall be done but it is by no
means certain that should they arrive
at an agreement in caucus, they
would be able to carry out their views
in the senate. The feeling seems to
be gaining ground that all revenue
legislation should be left until spring
and an extra session called to pass a
general tariff bill which will meet the
demands Of the country and furnish
sufficient revenue for the government
and it is altogether probable that an
understanding will be reached by
which the Republican members of the
ways and means committee of the
present house, who are all reelected
and will doubtless all be members of
the committee in the next congress,
will proceed to frame a bill which will
be in readiness by she time an extra
session is called in the spring.
Outside of revenue legislation, the
Cuban question doubtless eXcites
more interest than any other matter
likely to come before congress. All
interest, of course, at present, centerS
upon what allusion President Cleve-
land will make to the subject, and it
is thought congress will take some
definite action at an early day. Out
side of these matters there is unfiniSh-
ed business enough on the calendars
of the two houses to keep them busy
until March 4th. The senate has
quite number of important meas
ures before if, but there does not
seem to be much confidence existing
that any of them will become laws,
and the usual time killing method Of
talk in that body is looked for.

salary of S27 per day. To be liberal,
