It is amusing to read in such papers as the
Louisville Courier-Journal, the st. Paul
G o b e. the Chicago Chronicle and other So
called Democratic journals, the articles that
now appear, attacking the Republican admin
istration and the Republican party generally.

writers were urging their readers to vote

The mayor Of Pipestone has hit upon
fers to the lady who in the Judgment of a
board of arbiters, comprising the local minis
ters shall have taken the greatest pains in
fixing up her premises and the streets and

gift of town lot. The award will be made
on Thanksgiving eve, and the lot is said
to be worth $780, and eligibly located for resi-

Good gracious; isn't there dissension enough
now among the congregations but that this
mischieyous mayor must chuck in another

will arise when each minister tries to de-
eide which lady in his own congregation is
entitled to that lot. Ten to one the jury hang.

ROW AT A DANCE.
Charles Lawrence Threw IL Brick at
the Revelers.

the Revelers.
Charles Lawrence, locked up at the
central police station on the charge of
disorder1y conduct, gave Sergeant Nc
Carthy an exciting chase to effect his
capture Saturday night The young
man ran out of the stairway leading
to Vega hall on East Seventh street,
between Sibley and Waeouta streets,
shortly before midnight, with a crowd
at his heels crying murder. Sergeant
Mccarthy, thinking a serious crime
might have been committed, started
after Lawrence at O. ten-second gait.
The young man failed to stop when so
ordered, and Sergeant Mccarthy fired
his revolver in the air several times to
brighten him. This had no effect ON the
fleeing man, and Sergeant Mccarthy
began taking longer steps, with the
result that he corralled Lawrence near
Smith park. On returning to the hall
with his prisoner it was learned that
Lawrence had been put out and had
retaliated by throwing a brick through
the open doorway, which struck one OF
company Of dancers, but caused no
serious injury. Lawrence will be ar
raigned in the police court today.

American ship Dirigo, owned by Arthur
Sewall. Of Maine. and commanded by Capt.
Goodwin, is thirty-fve days overdue on her
voyage around the horn. She sailed from
New York 10 days ago. carrying crew Of
forty men. On Jan. % the Dirigo was spoken
off Cape Horn by the British ship Howth.
Signals were exchanged, and the captain of
the Howth determined to beat the American
ship into San Francisco if possible. Two days
later heavy gales sprang up lasting three
days. The Howth arrived in port April 10,
but nothing has been heard of the Dirigo.
The Dirigo Is the first feur-masted steel ship

SPREAD TT ON THICK.

We are in receipt Of a pamphlet con-
tanning the argument presented to the
finance committee of the senate by the
tanners, belt and shoe makers, mainly
in states east of Chicago, against TAX
ing hides from the free and putting
them on the dutiable list. A letter
from one Of the firms calls attention
to it and asks consideration Of it. We
have already expressed our opinion Of
this proposed tax AS Democrats, we
oppose taking anything from the free
list that has once gained freedom there
and returning it to a commercial slave
ry We would increase instead Of de-
crease the free list. But this is not our
funeral. We had that two years ago
and the trumpet Of resurrection has
not yet sounded. The present cere-
monies are those Of the Republican
party. It furnishes the programme,
manages the performance and will sup
ply the corpse. We will indulge our
selves in the privilege ofsefiticising and
commenting, but know very well that
to give either in the nature of advice
would be to waste good counsel We are
convinced that the Republicans are
making very smooth and easy the road
for Democrats to travel to victory, and
at the same time are making swift
and easy descent their path to the
tomb. With this we are content.
AS long as the Republicans are bent
on this course, and no earthly power
can prevent them, we confess that We
are glad to see them spreading pro-
lection on in thick layers. The country
might stand a moderate dose and take
it to save trouble, but such doses as
the Dingley and AIdrich bill adninist-
ers are sure to cause nausea. Besides
these reasons for passing by this argu-
ment of the leather men without going
into it, we cannot see why we should
exert ourselves to get their raw ma
teria1 for them free Of taxation when
they are ali so unanimous that their
product, in all it's various forms, must
be amply protected. We fail to dis
cover anywhere in this pamphlet any
thing to indicate that these gentlemen
look upon a tax on imports Of shoes,
belts, thread and other manufactures
of leather with anything but warm ap-
prevail, or any hint of willingness to
have the tax on them abated or even
partially diminished. We gather that
they regard protection for their pro-
ducts as a commendable and good
thing and a protection to their material
as a very bad thing. The same kind Of
logic that makes us favor low tariff
would, were we Republicans, make us
support this tax on hides, for we can
not for the life Of us see the sense or
honesty Of taxing shoes and freeing the
leather they are made from. We
are indebted to the gentlemen for
their courtesy in sending US their very
able argument, but, under the cir
cumstances stated, we must decline the
request to aid them. We prefer to see
taxation laid on thick and with gener-
GUS hands.

KILLED THE WRONG MAN
Charles Robinson Relates How DOrse
FOulfz Made n Mistake.

Sanitary Officer Frank has under con-
sideration an application for free railroad
pass TO Philadelphia, and, in connec ton
with the case. is told story which has
some bearing on the Dorsey Foultz murder
case. Foultz, as is Well known, is a fugi-
tive from justice. he having killed for
mer friend named Charles Robinson. Now,
the man who comes to the front is named
Charles Robinson, and he is glad he Is
alive. Dorsey Foultz, he says, killed the
wrong Charles Robinson, but so far as he
is concerned he is glad Of it. This man
wants TO go to Philadelphia to get out OF
DOrsey's way and his friends, whom he
thinks wants to kill him.
Telling his story TO Sanitary Officer
Frank. Robinson said FoultZ intended to
kill him because he had been a witness
against Gabriel Walker, who was SEN
fenced for the Illegal selling of liquor. The
murderer thought the other Charles Rob-
inson was the one who had been Witness
and killed him. Since the murder, he says.
Foultz has learned of his mistake, and Rob-
inson says he is continually in fear of his
enenys anger.

Jane Murray, colored, of No. 1893 Spring

and loud and bosterous talking During
the hearing it was stated that the COM

was the Murray woman. Judge kir1haIl
thereupon directed that a similar informa-

NOVEL POINT RAISED.
Objections Made to the Location of 6
School House.

Objections Made to the Location of a
School House.
A novel point has been raised by q citi-
zen of lexington against the location Of q
public school house at the corner of 1st and
Quincy streets. The objection to the loca-
ton of the school is based upon section S9a
Of the Revised Statutes. which provides
that it shall not be lawful to locate any
site for q school house in an orchard or a
garden, nor within 800 yards Of any dwell
ing house, without the consent Of the pro-
prietor of such dwelling.
The attorney for the District, however, in
an opinion to the Commissioners, holds
that this law is not applicable to the pres
ent case, in view of the wording of the ap-
preparation act authorizing the Commits
sioners to erect a school building In the
vicinity of North Capitol and r streets,
and that the word Vicinity" being one of
general significance, the Congress evidently
left the exact location to the discretion of
the Commissioners.
