Train Robber.

Kansas City, Jan. 7.-"Andy" Ryan,
hoseman in No. engine company

trict, where the James boys and the
Youngers and the Caldwells were

farmers homes and looked upon as he
roes of the first magnitude, and where'
TO this day, train robbery seems 10 ps
looked upon more as a fine art than a
serious crime.

from the fact that Kennedy. the engin-
eer now under arrest and charged with
being the leader in the recent robber-
les. fruuently visited him at NO l en-
gine house, previous 20 the recent ROD

occupied by j. Dorald Cameron, which

A MISTAKEN NEWS.


The Galveston News is very clear
sighted in all matters that concern the
advance Of the Democratic hosts. 1t
can see them marching forward, under
the order ITO the rear! Open order!
March,. When to the Impractical eye
they are falling back from their adj
vanced position. Thus it views the
elections of Tuesday and predicates a
Democratic sweeping of the field in the
near subsequently. To those who know
the News it is not necessary to state
that these little Authorizations are of
frequent occurrence, and are INDUCED
in as a harmless recreation in political
fields. The news in Texas is accepted
as a good gatherer of allegiance and
a marplOt in politics. 1t has no use
for the dominant Democracy of the
state, and it is only just to remark that
the dominant Democracy has no use
for the news. 1t condemns and de-
spises the Republican party but is in
sympathy with all of it's principles,
with the exception of duty on every
thing that Texas does not raise. This
the News kicks against, swearing by
free trade and swearing piously be-
cause the country will not consent to
ruin itself to accommodate the free
trade "scotchism" of itself. All the
the same the News is the best news
paper in the state, never was drunken
with the wine of freesilverism and
needed not the gold cure. 1t loves the
Lone Star state, and pulls it's own hair
IN account of the prosperity that the |
state enjoys in all it's stock interests, |
IN account of the tariff which it ac-
,epts as the sum of all villanies. |
What the News says about Democratic |
ADVANCE is to be taken cum grano |
sails, and it will be excused for being |
| little out of sorts at the late revela- |
ion of undiminshed Republican |
trength in all the great CEN
ers of party action. The News
annOt help it's own prejudices,
hey are ingrained, but it means to be |
Is fair as it knows how.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1897.
TWO MONTH. TWO TARIFFS.

The American Economist for Octo-
Der 20 has some very instructive COM
parsons between the operations of the
Wilson and the Dingley tariffs for the
first two operating months of the years
that they were put upon the statute
book. The Wilson receipts of revenue
for September were $22,629,229 and the
expenses $50, $685. 19. The Dingley fig
ures for August, the corresponding
month of operating, were receipts $19,-
O23,6l5 while the expenses were $685.
58S,047. Deficiency under the Dingley
bill, first month, more than double un-
der the Wilson bill. for it's first month.
In October the receipts under the Will
son bill were $19,189,24O and the ex-
penditures $32,713,O4O. This second
month of the Wilson tariff shows de-
ficiency of over thirteen millions.
Under the second month of the Ding
ley bill receipts were $21, 933, 097, while
the expenses were $25,, 1868, SIG. This
second month Of the Dingley bill shows
a deficiency of less than three and a
half millions. Under the Wilson bill
the second month of the operations of
that tariff showed increased expenses
and reduced receipts. The second
month under the Dingley bill
shows largely decreased expenses
and increased receipts. This is just
what the advocates of the bill con-
tended, that as the months passed the
operations would show decreased ex-
penditures and increased revenues.
There is not a doubt that when the
unnatural conditions surrounding the
advent of the Dingley bill are passed
that the advantages will more clearly
appear. The imports will be enlarged
an volume and the higher tariff will
yield increased revenue.

There is nothing in the present cleo
ton contest throughout the country to
definitely settle the question of the
place that silver will have in the cam
paign of 1890. Some of the press writ
ers take it for granted that it is to be
the issue three years hence, and they
judge from the contests in Kentucky,
Colorado and in one or two other
states. This is misleading. 1t is
only a year since the great free silver
battle was fought and lost, and it is
too early in the day to determine what
is it's vitality. Wait until the Congress
sional election of next year and see if
the silverites are able to make cam
paign upon that issue with any sue
cess. If they are, then a repetition OF
the fight of last year may be expected
but not otherwise.

The work of constructing coast de-
fences in the United States is not
slumbering. In more than a score of
places the work is begun, in some it
is well under way. The enlistment of
men to man the works and train for
the service as skilful artillerists is al
ready called for in some quarters.
There is on doubt that Uncle Sam is
looking out for this as well as other
things. The future will see an increas-
ing activity in all that constitutes
naval increase and coast defence, I'M
til the work is completed and the coun-
try is in condition to welcome an en-
envy to a hospital grave with a SAL
vo of artillery. The nation is young
yet, but she is getting there yearly.

The obscurity out of which Mayor
Van Wyck has emerged to father the
