Capture OF w ebb.

The murderer, Webb, who so brutally
murdered Jim Smith and subsequently,
escaped from Jail at this place last fall
has been captured, and this county will
once more have the opportunity to
show up on the right side of law and
order in his prosecution at the next
term of the Circuit Court.
Webb was captured In company with
two of his brothers near Byhalia, Miss.
a few DAYS since, the trio having stolen
a horse near Arkadelphia, this state
Sheriff Williams met the deputy in
charge of the prisoners at Memphis
last Wednesday, who refused to give
Webb over to bin, preferring not to
break the interesting charm-string till
landed safely at the scene of their late
lawlessness. However, Sheriff Will
Jams kept in sight of his bird. and it
only remains a question of few hours
till Webb is again decorating the in
side of a little iron cage in the county
bastile. Some sensational develop
ments are in store. to crop out at the
proper season in this case.
Since writing the above. Sheriff Will
liams has returned, and says that the
Arkadelphia authorities will hold
Webb and his brothers for trial next
month for horse stealing. and whatever
may be the result at this trial. he will
be turned over to the authorities foI
trial for murder.

state Democratic Platform.

The Democratic party of Arkansas, in
convention assembled, renews its allegi-
ance to the time honored principles Of the
party and declares as follows
We favor bimetalliSm, and to that end
we insist upon the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold, AT the
ratio of 10 to ], as money of fnal feoeIup-
ton. with equal legal tender powers, in
dependent OF the action OF any other ma
ton.
We are opposed to the issue of interest
bearing bonds for amy purpose in tinre of
peace. -
We demand that the government shall
not surrender, but shall always exercise
its lawful option to redeem its obligations
in either geld CT silver as may be most
convenient.
- We demand TIE repeal of the present
laws discrediting the silver money of the
nation andlegalizing private contracts pay
able in gold alone.
We are opposed to the national banking
system, and favor only the money of the
constitution; and we believe that the
power and duty OF the government to fur
nish circulating medium should rot be
delegated to any private corporation
We favor the collection1o f an income ia
as part of the revenue of the general gov

constitutional amendments as may be nec-
essary TO authorize the SAME.
We reaffirm the oft-repeated declara-
ton of the Democratic party In favor of a
tariff for revenue only.
We are in favor of the encouragement
and maintenance of the free common
school system i'll this state.
We endorse the purpose of the ''gOod

Improvement of tie highways.
Railroads are public highways, and
The interest of the people demand con-

OTTAWA IS EXCITED
CANADA,S CAPITAL HAS A LITTLE
CABINET CRISIS OF ITS
OWN.
BOWEL WILL STEP OUT.
HE DECLINES TO TAKE ANY PART
IN THE TUPPER GOVERN
MENT.
MIR. MEREDITH WILL COME IN.
Willing to Accept the Remedial
Programme, Though He Has OPP
posed the Separate Schools.

OTTAWA, Ont, April A.-The excitement
in parliament circles here today was intense.
After propagation last night came dissolu-
ton today. There is, therefore, no longer
any parliament The ministry holds office
and is responsible to his excelency, the gov
ernor general. No appointments can be made
except they are of emergency, and the dis
tribution of patronage must cease. Sir Mac
Kenzie Bowel, the premier, whose resigna-
tion such will be announced soon, has
managed to get over the session and to have
parliament dissolved. Sir Charles Tupper
and his followers are appealing to the pre-
mier to do something to help them and to
accept some Office under the crown that will
show that the breach between them has been
partly healed. Sir Mackenzie refuses to ac-
cept anything and will retire from politics.
AS to who will join Sir Charles Tupper's
cabinet, nothing is yet certain, although
it is taken for granted that Mr.. Meredith,
the chief justice of the court of common
pleas in Ontario, will accept the programme
of remedial legislation, although for many
years he has been the opponent of separate
schools in Ontario and fought his elections
on that cry. Hugh John Macdonald, of
Winnipeg, may also join the Tupper cabi-
net, but Lieut.. Governor Chapleau, of Que
bee, will not do so.

POLITICS DISCUSSED IN NEW YORK
BY HIS GRACE OF ST.
PAUL.
PRINCIPLES ANTI AMERICAN.
ONLY POLITICIANS ARE AFFECTED
BY THE EFFORTS OF
THE ORDER.
AS AN INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN.
Opinions of the Archbishop Given
in That Capacity and Not as
a ChurchmRn.

NEW YORK, April 2s.--Archbishop Ireland,
of st. Paul, who has been in Washington at
tending the conservation of the new bishop of
Sioux Falls, DR.. OGorman, was at the Fifth
Avenue hotel tonight. In an interview he
said that his church duties did not interfere
with his political opinion as an individual
American citizen. Asked to state his prefer
ences in regard to presidential candidate,
the archbishop said: CAS- the summer adj
vances I shall be better prepared to answer
that question.
1.-THE A. P. AS? Well, I have heard a
great deal about them. but have seen very
little of them. The name of the A. P. AS
is not legion. They are not numerous in
America, and whera they are found they
are usually imported Americans. They croak
good deal to make believe that they are
| numerous. Two three frogs in a swamp
may keep a whole household from Sleep
The chief reason of the secrecy they attach
to their meetings and their membership is
that they must hide their fewness of num-
bers. Why, if they counted votes by mill
| ions as their spokesmen say, do they not
come out and support a regular A. P. A.
ticket? This they will never dare do. Their
| usual plan Of campaign is to hitch them
selves to the tail of a. party, or of a man
when they think likely to win, and after
wards to claim the victory as their own. l
have known several cases in the West where
politicians affixed the stigma of the A. P. A.
on tickets which they wished to defeat, and
to which it did not at all belong. good
deal of intriguing goes ON under cover of
this shibboleth. The avowed principles of
A. P. Aism are utterly anti-American and
worthy of our supreme contempt. No man de-
serving of American citizenship, and of the
liberties it ensures, would countenance them
for an instant. The only peril foresee is
that politicians and. leaders of political par
| ties may show cowardice, and thereby bring
ruin to themselves. Believing A. P AS to
be lying around as thick as autumnal leaves
in Vallombrosa, they may be frightened into
speaking and voting SO }as curry favor with
them. In giving the least heed Ito A. p.
Aism, politicians showl their own folly their
lack of principle. and they lose immensely
more when they could gain. Every conces-
| sion to A. P. Aism gives offense to multi
tudes of good citizens who do not say many
loud words, but who do a lot of quiet, solid
| voting"

Tramps Helped Themselves.

MADELIA, Minn., April 24.-Last night
three tramps cut out panel in the rear
door of Keber's clothing store, turned the key
and helped themselves to three complete
suits of clothes, from shoes to neckties and
silk handkerchiefs. The day before they
were in the store begging 15 cents to buy
bread, and evidently they had noticed the
arrangements of the store, for nothing was
disturbed except what they wore away. They
left their old clothes as a memento Of their
call and probably took the $3.50 a. m. train
to the cities to disport themselves in their
new raiment. They took dark clothes with
blue vests, black four-in-hand neckties and
black Fedora hats.

pelling the plaintiff who was minister Of the

in Minneapolis year ago for conduct unbe-
coming minister, but Randall claimed he
had a life estate in the parsonage under the
rules governing the synod. The court holds

AN EVEN $SoO,OOO.
1t Is the Amount Warning Wants
From Westinghouse

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 24.-Richard S. War
ring, of this city, has brought suit against
George Westinghouse Jr. to recover $3.50. 900
damages. The suit is a sequel to the recent
action brought against the defendant by War
ring for the recovery of 10000 shares of
stock of the Standard Underground Cable
company, which came to a sudden termina-
tion. Upon motion of plaintiffs counsel for
a diseontinuance, the defense objected, but
the court ordered the suit discontinued upon
the payment of the costs. Westinghouse
claims the stock was given to him outright
for his aid in putting the company on a good
footing, and that it was worthless. This
afternoon Warning began another action for
$4,000 in addition to the $3.50 0G0, swelling the
total amount claimed to $780, COO. This second
suit is an action in trespass, while the other
was in assumpsit. The allegations are the
same in the first suit.

Grand Forks Bank Failure.

Special to the Globe
GRAND FORKS, N. D., April 24.-The sus-
pension of the Grand Forks National bank
has had absolutely no effect on the other
banking institutions of the city so far as
causing depositors any uneasiness. Examiner
Anheier and John D. Banton, his attorney,
had a conference with the bank officials and a
schedule is being prepared. What the future
of the bank will be is yet matter of doubt,
but the assertion has been made by the Of
ficials that every depositor and stockholder
would receive his money, dollar for dollar.
A receiver will hardly be asked for. The
bank will probably go into liquidation and
retire from business.

scene for court room occurred just after
the sentence had been pronounced on Moh,
when his wife came to where he was sitting

head, probably intended as a blessing which
he would not soon forget. She was shown

MAZEPPA, Minn., April 24.-The old "car-

and now many farmers are mourning for the
shekels practically thrown away. Although
the newspapers warned their readers against
being trapped by the four smooth-tongued
statesmen from Chicago, many failed to heed

goods and today they are swearing ven
