MANTLE HAS THE FLOOR.
He Says the Dingley Bill Was Not Pro
tective.

Washington. April 9.-After being
In retirement for some weeks the tar.
in silver bill was brought forward In
the senate today as a text for a speech
by Mr.. Mantle of Montana. one Of the
five republican senators who voted
against considering the tariff. Mr..
Mantle defended the course. of the sill
yer republican senators, declaring that
the Dingley bill was not framed as a
patriotic measure. The five republican
senators have been denounced rs trail
tors" to their party for failing to vote
for the tariff bill, but Mantle denied
that the Dingley bill was a republican
measure and quoted the statement Of
Mr.. Sherman hal the bill was strictly
non-partisan and was not a republican
measure. If the Dingley bill was a rev.
enue measure as claimed by its friends,
then no manufacturers suffered from
its failure as it was protection, not
In view of these facts, Mr.. Mantle sug-
gested the effort made to read MIN and
his silver associates out of the repub-
lican party had better be reconsidered
by the eastern press. The senator de.
clared himself in favor of protection,
but not sectional protection. 1t was a
principle toe great to be used in behalf
of n special interest or any monopoly.
1t must shield and upbuild the west as
well as east. While, however, he ia,
vored true protection, he favored
equally true bimetallism, the coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio OF
16 to l.. He belived in bimetallism
which does lot wait for the action of
foreign countries. In conclusion. Mr..
Mantle expressed the hope that the
tariff bill would be so remodelled by
the finance committee as to be truly re-
publican. combining tariff and bimet-
allism.
ADVANCE OF FREIGHT RATES.
The new transcontinental freight
rates will go into effect between April
% and May l. the eXac date lot hav-
ing yet been agreed upon. rhe new
rates will be considerably higher than
the old ones. At present the lowest
rate on any commodity from New
York to the Pacific coast is 50 cents
per 100 pounds. BY the new schedule
the lowest rate between the same two
places will be IS cents per 100 pounds.
One Of the duties of James Fuller,
the Transcontinental associations
New York representative, will be to
watch the amount of traffic carried to
the Pacific coast by the steamship
companies. as it is expected that the
advanced all-rail rates will have the
effect Of diverting much business to

Key Vest Fla. April 9.-Four times
within the last four days the Spanish
forces have been defeated by the in
surgents under Maceo in Pinar Del
Rio. and not one word has been al
lowed to go cut in regard TO these en-
gagements by the Spanish authorities.
The most important conflict &C.
CURED yesterday near Majana on the
strong line. Maceo's advance guard,
2 600 strong, attacked the Spanish
column near that place. The Span
iards were routed with a loss of 500
killed and wounded.
Prior to this encounter there were
engagements with Maceo's main army
west of the strong line in which the
Spaniards had the worst of it. 1t is
said in Havana that the Spanish loss
in four engagements was over 1900 in
killed and wounded.
The number Of wounded soldiers ar
irving in Havana proves the truth Of
the rumors. One train from the west
yesterday brought in 400 wounded
men.

about "a week the book was returned to
him, with the following letter:

Moline, ILL.,, April 9.-The discoveries
at the farm of Fred Bastian continue
to be the theme of conversation all
over the county, and the details of a
long series of dastardly crimes, cover
ing a period of several years, and ri
valing the deeds of Holmes. seem about
10 be made known.
The roads leading to the slaughter
ing ground from all directions were
thronged with vehicles of all kinds all
day Sunday, bringing thousands of
curiosity seekers. eager to view the
scene of the murders. An entcrprising
farmer, who claimed to have a lease on
the farm, reaped a harvest of quarters,
which sum he charged for admission to
the premises.
Bastian's farm is situated in the most
Isolated spot in that section-ju just the
place to put people on of the way with
out detection. The house is fully a
half mile from the public road, and is
reached by a circuitous private road,
leading through ravines and woods.
and across a creek. Over this rord and
out on to the main road Bastian car
ried young Kuschmann's body on the
evening of February 90, after murder
ing him on his own premises.
The house is now occupied by a
posse of deputy sherifs, and every
suspicious hummock about the place is
icing investigated.
The body of the second victim, John
Lauderbach, which was discovered last
Wednesday, was found under a pile of
posts and brush, and lightly covered
with earth.
Saturday a skull was found by the
diggers in another place. which is sup
posed to be part of the remains OF Fred
Kreinse. kreinse, after returning in
the spring of 1898 from a visit TO
many, went to work for Bastian. One
day in February, 1894. he disappeared
and was never heafd. OF afterward.
Like the other two victtEbs. Kreinse is
knogn to have a years wages iue him
from Bastian.
1t is also claimed that Hugh McCaf-
frey, Of Reynolds. ILL.,, who was EN-,
ployed for a month about five years
ago, grubbing stumps for B~astian, dis
appeared in a similar manner. His
friends are now positive that he met
a like fate.
How many more victims have been
hidden away from sight by this arch
tiend, Bastian, is a matter-of much con-
lecture. He seems to have had a regu-
lar custom of numbering his help to
avoid paying their wages: but his gen.
eral good reputation and the fact that
all the victims. except the last, were
without influential friends, prevented
investigation up to the present time.
and this might not have been so thor
ough had not the murderer committed
and added to the suspicion.

An American Experiment.
Nevada, Mo.

The American people like to try ex-
periments, to investigate new things.
This characteristic is an important fac
tor in our national progress. We should
never have got beyond where our fathers
were if we hadn't tried new things.
But we don't always confine our taste
for experiment to new things. We like
sometimes to try some Of the old things
our fathers have tried and cast away.
Experience is the best teacher" and
Americans always like the best Of every
thing. This longing for experiment is
the only thing which will explain the
madness of the people in voting for free
trade four years ago. We were prosper
Gus beyond anything the world had ever
known, but we thought we would like
to see what would happen under free
trade

Old Time Thanksgivings.

In 1862 the magistrates at Plymouth, de-
string to show loyalty to England on the
close of the war in England by the battle
of Somerset, placed themselves on record
thus: 1.-THE court desired that u public day
of thanksgiving throughout the colonies
might be observed therein to give thanks
for the great victories granted to the army
in the behalf of the parliament and the
commonwealth of England
In the Plymouth colony Thanksgiving
days were appointed for 1861, 1868 and
1880 and in the Massachusetts, Bay colony
in 1888, 1884, 1887, 1888 and 1889. In New
York the Dutch governors proclaimed
Thanksgiving days in 1914, 1915, 1866 and
1864 and the English governors followed
this precedent in 1760 and 1875. - Ex-

Free Trade In Colleges.

Every year since the triumph Of the
free trade party in 1892 numbers of COL
lege students in all our colleges have
been forced to give up their college
course ON account of "hard times. 1t
would seem as though this personal
knowledge of the evils Of partial free
trade would tend to modify the free
trade doctrines with which so many of
our college professors have striven. with
rather poor success so far, to inoculate
the students. Undoubtedly it has had
effect in the case of all those professors
who are open TO conviction and who are
willing to acknowledge that theories
must rest on facts, not on fancies. 1t
certainly has had effect on the students
and has allayed tendency toward free
trade in more than one college.
