Mr.. Calhoun, the representative
sent by President Mckinley to Cuba
to investigate the Ruiz affair, is
through with his business on the is
land and will soon be in Washington
ready to make his report to the pres
ident. The official report will only
cover his Investigations on the DIR.
Ruiz case, but it is expected that he
will make an unofficial report on the
conditions of the island and on Wey
ler's methods of warfare, etc. 1t is
understood that he has been making
Investigations of some of the reports
that have reached his ears in regard
to Weyler's cruelties and will report
on them. There has been some talk
that Pres. Mckinley was slow about
doing anything for the Cubans, but it
hardly seems as if this was true. He
believes that he should not take any
step which may bring us into war
with some other power without first
studying the question thoroughly and
understanding all of it's features, and
it was for this reason that he sent Mr.
Calhoun to Cuba to investigate a
charge brought against Spain, which
if true would give this country good
reason for interference to protect the
during the short time he has been in
power, has liberated many American
prisoners on the island and has taken
a stand which has caused the Spanish
government to understand that Amer
leans could not be thrown into pris-
on without cause and their govern
ment stand quietly by and do nothing.

SEARLES CASE DECISION.

The decision of Justice Bradley in
the case of John E. Searles, the sugar
trust magnate, is regarded as excep-
tionally important in its relation to
future question affecting Legislative
corruption.
The case turned upon the question
whether the senate committee was
impertinent in asking Mr.. Searles
how much money the sugar trust ex-
pended in the campaign of 1892, and
whether the company contributed
anything to the Democratic campaign
fund in New York in 1892.
The judge holds that these ques-
tions were impertinent, Mr.. Searles
having previously testified that his
company's contributions were not
made for the purpose of influencing
legislation. This ruling frees Mr..
Sear1es from punishment and from
liability for contempt: and, according
to the Nea0 York Press, it now stands
"as the law of the United States that
a person accused of corruptly pro-
curing legislation from congress can
block all specific inquiry into the ad-
mitted res gestae, the circumstances
surrounding suspected transaction,
by general denial of guilty intent
and direct bribery. We presume that
no one will deny that this state of the
law would be a great misfortune, a
direct incentive to corruption.". .".-Er-

ITS PERFECT WORK.

No portion of Senator Aldrich's
mastery speech introducing the
amended Dingley bill in the Senate
is more notable than that passage in
which he foreshadowed the consum-
mate triumph of protection.
''The legitimate result of protective
tariff he said, sis to give the Amer
can market to American producers.
When this becomes an accomplished
fact, the revenue growing out of pro-
tective duties disappears In the
years to come," he added, ' we must
expect decrease rather than an in
crease in the customs revenue to be
derived under the principal schedules
of the tariff"
This a condition which has always
been generally recognized by protec-
ZIONIST thinkers. Moreover, it is a
subject for fervent congratulation
among them, for it is most conclu-
sive demonstration of the soundness
of their principles,
A protective tariff serves double
purpose. 1t provides reuenue tor the
support of the Government by tax
ing foreign products, and these taxes
on foreign products, by making their
Importation more difficult in some
ways than it otherwise would be, in
volve an important encouragement to
domestic industries, which are there
by shielded in degree from foreign
competition. A protective tariff has
been in operation in this country with
a few Interruptions, for more than a
hundred years. All this time it has
furnished a large income to the ma
tional Treasury, and besides that has
so encouraged American manufactur-
ing that a great many necessary ar
ticles which used to be procured ex-
clusively from Europe are now almost
exclusively supplied from our own
factories.

The Philadelphia Press says: The
business of the country is still slowly
improving in some directions, and it
is likely to grow still better. The
dominating influence is the tariff, and
what, with unavoidable delays and
the irritation caused by people
whose interest is to exaggerate and
emphasize them, the business COM
munity is annoyed to the point of be-
coming very anxious as to the future.
The fact is, things are going forward
as we'll as could have been expected.
The road to prosperity is not macada-
mized, but no new serious obstacles
have been met.

A TERRIBLE MURDER.

A terrible crime was committed in
Montpelier May 80 by which Miss
Anna Wheeler, a young lady living in
that city, was shot and killed by Miss
Mildred Bewster of Huntington Cen
ter. 1t seems that Miss Brewster met
one John Wheeler, while stopping for
a time in Montpelier and became
| enamored of him, and since that time
has been insanely jealous of Miss
Wheeler, who was engaged to Mr..
Wheeler. Although the two were OF
the same name they were not related
at all. 1t does not appear that Mr..
Wheeler showed the Brewster girl in
any way that her affections were re-
turned. One evening recently she
laid in wait near the armory on Col
lege street for Mr.. Wheeler, intending
to kill him, but his brother was with
him at the time so she gave it up.
Saturday morning she rose early and
went to the top of hill little out of
the city and commenced practicing
with revolver; from there she went
to the place where Miss Wheeler was
stopping; after a short conversation
they left the house together and start
ed to go to the home of Mr.. Wheeler.
When in sight of the house Miss
Brewster suddenly pulled 80 calibre
self-cocking revolver from her
pocket and shot Miss Wheeler behind
the right ear; Immediately upon see
ing her drop to the ground she turned
the revolver to her own head and
sent bullet into her brain, falling
beside her victim. The people living
in the vicinity heard the shots and
hurried to the scene. The wounded
girls were taken up and carried to the
Heaton hospital, both in an uncon-
scious condition. Miss Wheeler did
not regain cons ciousness and died at
1:30 p. m.
Miss Wheeler was a girl whose
moral character has always been
above reproach. She has never tried
in any way to injure Miss Brewster
or to cause any feelings of jealousy on
her part.
Miss Brewster was a graduate of
Burlington High School and had
taught few terms of school in Hunt
ington. She was of rather nervous
temperament and was at times very
depressed.
Mr.. Wheeler is a stone.,cutter of
Montpelier and stands well with his
associates He says that he never
kept company with the Brewster girl

People who say there is no pro-
lection sentiment in the south should
come down to Washington and look
the field over for few days. Five
of the thirty southern senator's
Wellington, Elkins, Pritchard, Deboe

tionists. Southern senators have Of
fered about forty amendments includ-
ing the duties on certain articles, and
not all of these amendments come

If the invention of Prof. Albert
Cushing Crehore of Dartmouth Col
lege proves practicable, the use of
telegraphy may be increased to an
extent never imagined. 5000 words
a minute may be transmitted over a
single wire. From thirty to sixty,
under the Morse code, is the average
at present. Among the possibilities
of such system is that few tele-
graph wires might supersede the
mail in the transmission of important
business letters.

An interesting feature of the
Memorial day exercises in Boston
last Monday was the unveiling of a
monument erected to the memory of
Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and ,the
men of the Fifty-fourth Regiment.
This was regiment of colored troops,
and one of the addresses was by Col.
L. W. Higginson, the well-known
writer and himself the colonel of a
regiment of colored troops during
the war. Abraham Lincoln acknowl-
edged, and took pride in the ac-
knowledgment, that to him was due
the introduction of the colored men
in the armies of the North. 1t was a
confirmation of all that had been
said by the abolitionist and the
champion of political equality when
lthe colored troops fought nobly."

The Cheyenne uprising in southern
Montana is a pale reflection of the In
dian troubles that perennially arose
in the days when the buffalo roamed
over the plains and railroads had not
yet gridironed the west as well as the
east. The presence of rowing bands
of Indians with the vaguest ideas of
meum and teum among white pop
ulation with large flocks of sheep and
cattle, and firmly imbued with the
belief that the only good Indians are
underground, was sure to lead
to trouble. To kill a sheep which
does not belong to him is as
little of an offense in the eyes of a
hungry Indian as to kill the Indian is
to the white sheep-owner. Hence the
danger of an Indian war, in which all
the acts of barbarity may not be COM
mitted by red men.

THEOLOGY AZ ssoux FALLS.

makes the surprising statement that

drippings Bro. Tomlinson could have
imbibed ouch information a this, and
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1897-12-30

If he does we sincerely hope he'll not
tell. Yale is accounted a somewhat
liberal on theological matters, so we
judge Bro. Tomlinson when a student
there must have spent the hour of
morning worship in whiting his in
itials on the chapel benches, instead Of
listening to Pres, Porter or good old
DR.. Barber, for both those worthless
would stand aghast at any such teach
ing a. this. What Bro. Tomlinson
meant probably, was that the old FASH
Toned teaching that hell is q place of
material pains and punishment for the
wicked has been abolished. This is
strictly true, but it is not true that the
clearing away OF these medieval mo-
tiOns has abolished or weakened the
Bible doctrine OF hell. No Methodist
minister can be found today who
breaches a hell OF literal fire and brim-
stone as Wesley did in the previous
century, but our Methodist friends a
claim, and rightly so, that the doctrine
Of future r%etribution Is just as faithful
~ and just as scripturally taught from
their pulpits today as ever. However
much the modern i3ea OF ''reforma-
tories" may be extended, human gov
ernments never yet have been able to
get along without jails and peniten-
tiaries, and it is scarcely conceivable
that the Divine Government can do
any better. Editor n. A. Burrell OF
the Washington (Iowa) Press, who has
something of a reputation as q tree
thinker, recently wrote as follows on
the necessity of q hell: There's no
use in denouncing Calvinism for in
sisting on a hell. 1t is a military ne
cessity, and If it didn't exist, our in
stincts Of justice would invent it, and
see to it that IL was used and populated
by the sculch Of humanity" That man
was orthodox and reasonable in the
same breath, and he will carry the
sober judgment of most fair.minded
men with him when he further de-
clares, that bob Ingersoll can deny
and rant all he's q mind to-the race
will have a hell, and, If it were abol-
ished, they would petition for its re-
instatement."
