White Caps entered the residence Of

Ind, last week, and. placing a rope
around his neck, dragged him down the
stairs into the street, clothed only in
his night robe. They marched him a
short distance from the house and, ty-
ing him to tree, logged him with
whips and knotted ropes until every
part of his body was covered with
weIts and gashes. All this time the
poor wretch begged and pleaded for
mercy and promised TO do better. His
appeals were not listened 10, and when
he tainted from pain and loss OF blood
his tormentors left him for dead and
quietly disappeared, leaving no trace
Of their whereabouts. Parrish was
found about two hours later In a dy-
ing condition. He regained conscious
ness for short time, but said he was
unable to recognize any OF his tor
mentors. One Of his ears was entirely
severed from his head while dragging
him down the stairway, and was found

Died In Reynolds county. May 18th,
1897, Mary Jane. wife of Henry NJ.
Schrum, aged &C years, Z months and
% days.
Mrs. Schrum had retired in her u.s.
ual health and in short time called
her husband to assist her up. Before
the other members of the family had
realized the fact, her spirit had de-
parted. Heart disease of long standing
caused her sudden death.
Mary Jane Roe was born in Ten
nessee, Sept. 30. 1880. She came to
Iron county IN 1858 and in 1855 was
married to Mr.. Shrum and removed
with him to Reynolds county, where
she has ever since resided. Mrs.
Shrum united with the NJ. Z. Church
40 years ago and has lived consist
ent Christian life, rearing up her
children in the fear of the Lord. She
was the mother of children, 4 OF
whom survive her. j. NJ. Shrum, OF
Goodland, Mrs. Elzaida Middleton,
Mrs. Lizzie Miller aud Lefty, all ol

Impatient Agents of Prosperity.

The American Protective Tariff
League, whose president is the Secre-
tary of the Interior in the Mckinley
Administration, and whose member
ship includes Mayor Strong and other
great men of the Republican party,
has determined to take the work of
tariff making out of the incompetent
hands of Congress and push it through
itself. Feeling" it tells the editors
of Republican newspapers throughout
the country, ''that Congress does not
appreciate the conditions which pre-
vail, we want your assistance to in
augurate postal card campaign, tel
ling United States Senators the wishes
of the people in favor of immediate
tariff legislation" The popular hun
ger for more tariff it explains in this
way:
The entire country, as you know, is
suffering beyond description from the
industrial invasion of goods of other
countries through the Wilson-Gorman
free trade tariff.
Times are growing harder every day,
and with the vast amount of foreign
merchandise coming to this county,
the good effects of protective tariff
are already discounted. We can have
no prosperity until protection is en-
bodied in our laws.
The Protective Tariff League evil
IDENTIFY holds :he same uncomplimenta-
ry opinion of mckinley prosperity"
that is entertained by so many work
iugmen who marched in Mr. Hanna's
procession last year. 1t asserts now
that we can have no prosperity until
protection is embodied in our laws,
but We must remind it that this is not
the theory upon which the late cam
paiga was conducted. We were told
then that the good times would come
on the morning after election and con-
tinue to grow better every day there
after. The League can hardly have
forgotten the banners that used to span
the streets, announcing cheerily that
there remained only -Four days to the
dawn of prosperity" 1t was the de-
feat of Organism" that was to work
the miracle then. Organism has been
defeated, and now it turns out that we
are further from good times than ever.

When the Protective Tariff League
ascribes the prevailing distress to the
industrial invasion of goods of other
countries through the Wilson-Gorman
free trade tariff it forgets the official
statistics which show that the '.invas-
ion'' of goods from abroad has been
less under the present tariff than under
the Mckinley law. 1t is this very fact
that is responsible for the embarrass-
ments of the Treasury. The imports
under the Wilson law have been so
small that the Government has not
been able to collect enough from them
| in duties to make both ends meet. The
/ balance OF exports over imports has
been the largest in our history. When
the League realizes these conditions it
will modify its appeal to Congress.
/ Perhaps it will urge the abandonment
of the agitation for a change in the
tariff, and urge merely the addition of
few simple revenue duties. 1t doubt
| less remembers that the distress in the
Summer of 1894 was ascribed to the
fact that Congress was s'tinkering the
tariff" Why may not the present dis
| tress be due to the fact that Congress
is again doing the same thing? If the
menace of a tariff upheaval were re-
moved, perhaps we might be able to
see some signs OF the prosperity that
Mr.. Mckinley promised us.-N. Y.

Temperance Notes.

[FH 81 kSa auce has made wonder
HHEHAEH full advances within forty
~E4fA years, since an assembly
of Baptist ministers in
holding till late hour,
could not close with prayer because
the brethren had imbibed so much that
no man was willing to take the risk of
kneeling down; since a Methodist
Episcopal Conference rejected a reso-
luton, declaring it to be inconsistent
for minister of the gospel to be en-
gagged in the selling of liquor. These
two denominations now stand well up
to the front in the Temperance move
ment.
The very interesting and effective
argument that has recently been given
to the cause of Prohibition in the new
disclosures of science as to the poison
Gus character and the deleterious ef-
feet of alcohol on the human system,
is calculated to awaken the most pro-
found attention all over the country.
Chicago whIte-ribboners are waging
war against the side doors OF saloons.
The Central w. c. T. T., at its meet
ing in Willard Hall, took the first steps
in a crusade which they declare will
be carried on vigorously, until every
ladies' entrance and family entrance"
to the liquor places Of this city shall
be closed. committee of seven was
appointed to secure the drafting of a
city ordinance on this subject and its
early introduction into the council.
Other cities have such law, and al
though it is admitted that the saloon
power is more dominant than ever in
the municipal affairs of Chicago. it is
safe to predict that the W. c. T. u,
backed by the rising tide of Christian
citizenship, will finally win this fight
for the protection of the girls,
Our evangelist, D. L. Moody, says:
s'It is better to carry temperance pc
tltions to the Almighty, than to the
legislatures, but we know that Broth
er Moody has always remained color
blind to the relation of our Heavenly
Father to the politics of the Republic.
The Old Testament is largely a record
of the manner in which God operated
upon politics among the Hebrews,
choosing their leaders and ordaining
the laws by which the people were
governed. But in the Christian de-
mocracy that has blossomed from the
Bibles open page, God works through
the citizenship of the country, and the
Ten Commandments, aud the Sermon
on the Mount, are voted up, or voted
down on election day.
1t is stated by the Union Signal that
an amendment to the Nicholson law OF
Indiana has been drafted which pro-
vides that the people shall express
their wish in regard to the legalized
sale of Intoxicating liquor by secret
ballot instead of by petition to the
County Commissioners, as the law now
is. The saloon keepers of the State
are concentrating their forces upon its
defeat. Naturally they are averse to
the liquor question being handled di-
rectly by the voters. 1t is much easier
to control the Legislature and even
County Boards, than the people. And
much more dangerous to saloon
interests they realize it would be, if
the wish of all, instead ofhalf the peo-
pie could be expressed by ballot!
