THE REPUBLICANS HOPE.

We see it cropping out more
and more every day, that the Re.
publicans idea is not to put ont a
ticket this fall for Governor, but
to fuse with the Gold Democrats,
adopting as their slogan "a FAN
Election Law" The hope is, to
profit by the supposed tremendous
factions in the Democratic party,
and fuse with the little side show
whose managers are one Mr.. O'Fer.
rail- and the editor of the Richmond
Times. -Four years ago these same
gentlemen were giving Chas. Il.
O'Ferrall "dOwn the country" sup
porting an Out-and-Out Populist in
preference. Now this same party
is to be taken up by the Republi-
cans, and their cause champiOned
in the State, and while sncers and

upon the Democrats because the
Populists are acting with them,

ny side show of the Gold bugs.
We'll, we have no objection. Trait
ors to one party are seldom of
much benefit to any party except
the one they leave. But, we say
this, the Republicans are leading
torlorn hope. Last year there
were factions, and with all the
money needed, with the disallcc.
ted plutocrats to help out, with
all the Republicans solidly in favor
of Mckinley, Bryan and the
Democratic ticket swept the
State. BY what hocus-pocus, or
sleight of hand performance, OF
fortuitous concurrence of circum
stances the Republicans hope to
win in this coil year," we fail to
see.
y better thing to do, it seems to
us, would be for the Republicans
as has been suggested by one of
our contemporaries, to fuse with
the PrOhibitionists, who cast IL

Gold bugs, although the latter had

PLUNGED THROUGH A TRESTLE.
Seven Persons Hurt in an Accident ON
the Southern Railway.


the Southern Railway.
Rome, Ca, March 16.-A frightful
passenger train wreck occurred here
early this morning on the approach to
the high bridge of the Southern railway
over Fort Owen river. Six people were
injured, but none fatally.
The train wrecked was passenger
from Chattanooga, composed of one
Pullman sleeper, day coach, a smoker,
a baggage and an express car, and five
cars of perishable fast freight. About
sixty feet from the bridge is a trestle
forty feet high crossing the Western
Atlantic railroad tracks. Heavy rains
caused the trestle to give way. The
freight cars, baggage car and smoker
fell, while the engine jumred the track
and plunged into the river. The wreck
then caught fire. The fire department
and citizens had much difficulty in cut
ting out and rescuing the passengers in
the smoking car. The Pullman and
day coach did not leave the track and
were pushed back out of the fire.
The escape of engineer Pitman, who
bravely stuck to his post, was miracu-
lous. The abutment of the bridge tore
the tender from the engine, which
plunged down the bluff into the river.
The engineer, with his leg broken,
clung to the engine and yelled for help.
No one heard him. Finally he fell
into the river and then swan ashore.

/. Havana, March 16.-Weylerhas for
cortes, the public budget bill amount
ing to $35, 900, 900, in addition to an
appropriation bill, reaching $93,O00,-
600. The latter bill, it is said, will be
-carried through to meet the extraor-
dinary expenses of the army and navy
incurred on account of the Cuban in
surrection. The income for the new
fiscal year, beginning in July, will
hardly reach $4,000, 900, which
amount will shrink considerably should
the proposed treaty with the United
States be carried out. Therefore, there
will be an enormous deficit, reaching
nearly 500, 600, 900, to meet which the
Madrid cortez must decree new taxes to
Spain or call for another public loan to
meet the interest on the same. The
personal tax will be renewed. It is re-
ported here that Captain-General Pola-
java, in the Philippines, resigned on
account of the failure of the government
to send him 20, 900 men, and not on ac-
count of his health.

FACTS FOR FARMERS
THE TARIFF AND CONFERENCE
BILLS MAKING PROGRESS.

Both Measures Being Pushed in Con-
gress- Increasing Grain Production
Abroad Caused the Low Prices and
Strongly Suggest a Home Market.
Special Correspondence
Washington, March 16. Farmers
who have been. accustomed to charge
low prices of grain to the currency, or
lack of currency in the United States,
will be at least interested and probably
surprised by some figures just published
regarding the grain supply which
Russia is pouring in upon the markets
of Europe. That the European demand
and price must have largely to do with
the rates the farmers of the United
States get for their grain, especially
when factories are closed and the de-
mand at home is light, goes without
saying. The Miller, London publica-
tion presents some statistics with refer
ence to the comparative production of
grain in the United States and Russia
which bear largely upon this question.
It shows the average production of
grain in Russia and the United States
during the last three years, giving the
figures in "quaterers''-a quarter, as
is we'll known, consisting of eight bush
els. The figures, showing the average
production for the three years ended
December 81, 1895, are as follows:e

A NEGRO BURGLAR.
His Arrest Causes a Bloody Race Riot
in Birmingham.

His Arrest Causes a Bloody Race Riot
in Birmingham.
Birmingham, Ala, March 16.-Two
tragic deaths, policeman shot and
small race riot, in which dozen per-
sons were more or less hurt, constituted
the results of fight which occurred in
side of thirty minutes on the South
Side this afternoon. A burglary was
committed by Will Hunter, negro.
Pliceman Perdue was detailed on the
case, and this afternoon found Hunter
and arrested him. Hunter drew
pistol and fired. striking Perdue in the
jaw, inflicting dangerous wound. The
negro made break for liberty, the
officer pursuing, and firing as he ran.
After firing three shots, the officer fell
from exhaustion, his last shot wounding
Hunter fatally. 1t developed after
ward that one of Perdue's shots killed
Myrtle Boland, 5-year-old girl, who
was playing in an alley, two blocks
away. When the police finally took
Hunter in charge, mob of negroes fol-
lowed, threatening to rescue the
wounded prisoner. A number of white
men soon appeared, and a general free
fight ensued between the negoes and
whites, in which fully dozen persons
were more or less wounded and several
negroes badly beaten.

BUTLER GIVES 1T UP.
Will Consent to Being Extradited to
Australia.

Will Consent to Being Extradited to
Australia.
San Francisco, March 16.-Frank
Butler, alias Ashe, alias Newman, the
accused murderer of Captain Weller,
Arthur Preston and Charles Burgess,
has decided to give up his fight against
the effort of the Australian police to Sc
cure his extradition from this country.
He gives as his reason for this action
that he has no hope that the United
States supreme court will reverse Dis
trict Judge Morrow, and that he cannot
stand the cost of carrying the matter to
the court of last resort.
Butler said today that he had con-
sidered the matter, and had come to the
conclusion that he felt convinced he
supreme court would decide against
him, and that an appeal would gain
him nothing but postponement of the
day upon which he would have to re-
turn to Australia to answer for the
crimes with which he stands charged.
In this view of the matter, he consider
ed it best for him not longer to oppose
the extradition. Ultimately, he said,
he would have to go on trial for his
life, and the sooner the thing was over
the better it would be for him. He
will go back and face his accusers, and
depend upon the loophole of the Au-
stralian criminal laws for his escape
from the gallows.

POLITICS IN SCHOOL.
A New Branch of Learning for Chicago
Children.

Chicago, March 15.-Chicago child
rem are to receive instructions in the
theory and practice Of politics. Men
of advanced thought assert that move
ment of this kind is necessary to insure
the perpetuity Of the republican form
of government, and it is to be attempt
ed in systematic manner. No def
mite programme has been arranged, but
the work will probably be undertaken,
or at least begun by the Civic Fedora
tion's committee on education.
Richard Waterman, jr., secretary of
the committee; w. A. Giles, principal
of the Watt Graham school, and others
interested in the subject have been dis
cussing the preliminaries for some time
past. So far as planned, the movement
contemplates the addition of thor
ough and complete course of civics in
the public school curriculum, with the
object of drilling pupils in the theory
of politics and good citizenship, while
the practical part will be impaired by
voluntary participation in auxiliary So
cieties.
The Woman's Club, of Englewood,
and similar organizations have become
interested in the movement and are
studying the subject with view Of
being able to assist the Civic Fedora
tion's committee with practical sugges-
tions for giving the matter effective
form.

BEEF. CAME HIGH.
Raf1ed or at Circle City, Alaska, at
S48 Per Pound.

S4s Per Pound.
Port Townsend, WASH, March 16.-
An incident occurred on the Yukon
quite worthy of reporting, says the
Alaska News, just received here. The
first fresh beef ever in the camp was
carried in from Forty Mile, a distance
of $50 miles, it being some from the
Thorp cattle, driven in from the coast.
Stimulated by the efforts of Bishop
Rowe to erect hospital at that point
for the benefit of the miners, number
who were wintering at Circle conceived
the idea of getting up benefit of some
kind for the hospital fund. The
Miners Association took hold Of the
affair and gave a minstrel show in
Shows opera house which was said to
have been decided bowling success.
Tickets were sold at 81. so each, and
after the performance everybody danced
all night at four bits a throw. Nearly
$500 was realized by the evening enter
tainment. The hospital fund received
another substantial addition during the
holidays. Tom O'Brien packed the
10k pounds of the Thorp beef from
Forty Mile to Circle City, $50 miles
distant. It was the first fresh beef
ever in the camp and the first many of
the old-timers had seen in years and
years. It was placed on exhibition
and, after everybody had suffered with
palpitation of the heart from too in
tense gazing and longing, it was taken
down and rafded off for the benefit of
the hospital. Tickets were drawn,
ranging in price from SO cents to 81. so
each, the amount realized from the
chunk of loin being $3.50, nearly $4s a
pound.

NEWSPAPERS EXPOSURES.
Alleged Corruption in Sacramento City
Affairs.

Sacramento, March 16.-The Bee to.
day publishes the conclusion to it's
series of sensational stories alleging
corruption in the city council. About
a week ago the Bee printed story to
the effect that Carl Won Arnold,
wealthy Chicago saloonkeeper, had set
tied in Sacramento with the purpose of
opening big gambling den and concert
hall. He was also to start new daily
paper. The Bee declared that it had
evidence that Won Arnold was to put
up $50, 900 to establish the paper, and
that he had made contracts with GER
tain members of the board of trustees
whereby he was to conduct his gambl-
ing-house without interference from
the authorities. All sorts of denials
were made by the implicated people,
but the Bee insisted that the evidence
in its possession was beyond dispute.
Today the Bee announced that Won
Arnold was San Francisco detective
in the employ of the Bee, and that he
had been employed to expose suspected
dishonesty among city officials. Won
Arnold appeared before the grand jury
today and told the result of his investi-
patiOns
