Says the American Economist /:
'The whole people suffer under
Free Trade, but, of all the people,
those whose capital is their labor
suffer the most. " Mr.. w E. Il. .
Lecky, a pronounced ee-Trader,
and the author of Democracy and
Liberty, - says in that work 'No
fact is more conspicuous in the nine
teen tn century than the strength Of
the reaction that has taken place
against the Free Trade principles.
Nearly everywhere the OLD
Free Trade doctrine is a vanquished
or declining creed. Experience
has been the test, and by that test
Free Trade has proved itself an ut
ter failure. OF course, it is "a van
quished OF a declining creed. La

who would like nothing better than
to see the Republican efforts for
Tariff revision frustrated, are con-
tinuing to whine and growl and
scold because Congress is consistent
and does not abandon Tariff legisla-
ton work for the purpose of taking
up the currency problem. They
maintain that the latter subject is
the one which the people want to
have solved This is an erroneous
opinion, but if these people want to
cling to it there is no law on the

so,-Burlington. Ia, Hawk Eye, y

Focht,s AlIen Pnuper I'm.

HOtut'S AlieH IuupeF Bill
Representative Focht, of Union coun-
ty, is pushing to final passage his bill
providing for the return of paupers and
insane persons, not having a legal set
tlement within this commonwealth, to
any other state or country to which
they may have belonged. Mr.. Focht
is chairman of the special committee
appointed by the Legislature of 1895 to
Investigate the question of alien and
pauper inmates of the state institu-
tions, ard he contends that much of
the expense of these institutions is
caused by the maintenance of alien
paupers.
The governor has just approved a
bill to validate contracts for street i'm
provements and the construction of
sewers that were made under laws and
ordinances declared unconstitutional.
It applies to street paving. macadamiz-
ing and grading, completed or in pro-
cess of completion, and provides the
method of levying assesspents and ap-
pointing viewers.
1t Is probable that the Hamilton road
bill. one of the measures that has
caused more talk during the present
session of the legislature than any
other half dozen bills, Will likely reach
the governor this week 1t was sent
to the senate with a rider, providing
that 1000, 600 should be appropriated
for the Improvement of highways be-
fore the law becomes operative This
amount was cut down by the senate to
$500 600, and II the house coneurs in
the change the bin win be sent to the
governor There cannot be any doubt
that he will approve inasmuch as he
has urged the passage of road bill at
both sessions of the legislature.
Another important measure is almost
sure to reach the governor within the
next few days. / refer to the Stewart
interest bill, which was passed by the
| house several weeks ago and sent to
| the senate. That body has adopted
/ several amendments, and as the bill
stands now It provides for interest on
/ all state deposits at the rate of 2 per
cent, except In the five active depos-
| itories-ln Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
/ Harrisburg which are TO pay 1 per
cent on daily balances and make col
/ lections for the state free Of cost.

The thief works between the hours of
6 and $3.50 IN the evening. choosing mis-
time when he is satisfied that the oc-
cupants OF the house are all either at
supper or c0ngregated in the sitting
room or parlor. Procuring a ladder he
mounts to second story window, en-
ters the bedrooms and within fifteen
minutes has cleaned out the upper story
and gone with his booty.
The first case of the kind reported was
the robbery of the house Of Captain
Charles j. Ball on West Adams street
exclusively reported at the time in The
Herald. where a quantity of valuable
jewelry was secured. This was nearly
three weeks ago and since then the porch
climber has not been idle In several in
stances he has been frightened away
without securing any plunder but On
Wednesday evening got into house on
Grand avenue between Twenty-third
and Twenty fourth streets where he got
away with a fine ladies gold watch.
SO far the police have been unable
to lay hands on the slippery fellow and
Chief Glass is constrained to ask all
residents, especially those in the south
west section, to load up "A shotgun and
lay for the thief. If anyone is caught
going into or leaving house by means
of o ladder a dose of buckshot will enc
his career with small loss TO the COM

statement that he will gladly send the

MoNKEYED WITH A LADDER
An Office Thought He Had Captured
Thief But Got a Black Eye

This is the tale of bold police officer
who was sure that he had made an i'm
portant capture, in fact no less a per-
sonage than Jack the Porch Climber"
who has been operating CT late in the
southwest section of the city. This
clever thief has been giving the police
no end of trouble and every effort has
been made to bring him to book. Sad
to relate the thief is yet at large, but
one of the special officers on the force Is
now wearing blue goggles TO conceal a
damaged optic which he got from the
business end of ladder.
On Wednesday evening the aforesaid
hawkshaw espied ladder leaning
against the side of the residence of John
M. Ermerons at 943 West Washington
street. and with Now have got YOU
expression dashed into the yard and at
tempted to remove the ladder to pre-
vent the escape of the burglar supposed
to be inside the house. Not being skilled
in the moving OF such articles, he made
O. botch of the job, and the ladder fell,
one end taking him in the left eye, lay
ing him out speechless for a second
When he regained his feet an investi-
cation was made, but no burglar was
discovered, as the ladder had merely
been left against the house by some
painters who had been at work the day
previous. Dsfigured and disheartened,
the officer reported at the police station,
but would not tell the story of his acci-
dent, merely saying that he had STUN
bled and fallen on the sidewalk And
that is why Hubbard is now wearing
goggles and feeling blue.

SMOOTH SURE THING MEN
Two Young Fellows Accused of SWind-
ling Il Woman Out Of $40

In the police court yesterday after
noon before Justice Morrison, Charles
Mccormick and George Williams, two
smooth sure-thing men and alleged
bunco steerers, were arraigned on pet
ty larceny charge OF fleeing a Mrs. T..
A. Ladd of $40 while en- route to this
city on December 30 last on board a
Southern Pacific train.
The men were captured by Special
officer Miles Bowler, who has also sworn
to the complaint against them. 1t ap-
pears that the fellows occupied seats
in the car directly in front of Mrs Ladd.
and engaged in conversation loud
enough to be heard by her, one pretend
ing to be rich tourist, the other q
friend of his. Finally one of the men
made the remark that he must go for
ward to the baggage car and see a:out
payment of excess baggage rates on his
trunks. only to return in few moments
and tell his companion that he would
like to have $1.45, which was the sum
due.
The rich tourist at this pulled out big
flash roll and found he had nothing
smaller than $100 bill This Of course
could not be changed, and Mrs. Ladd
was incidentally asked to loan the gen
tleman $40 until the next station was
reached where change for the bill could
be procured. The unsophisticated wom-
an dug up double eagle and accom-
modatingly gave it to them. and at the
next station both men made themselves
scarce
Detective Bowler was notified Of the
occurrence and succeeded in capturing
the men on description. The flash
roll was found on one of them when ar
rested and will be used as evidence
against them. Both pleaded not guilty
when arraigned, and as they desired a
speedy trial were accommodated and
will have hearing this morning at $50
o'clock.
