o'clock. No one was injured. The

the shots came were cleared. This is

after a conference with Adjutant Gen

order. In notifying Sheriff Gray last
night of his shipment of 200 stand of
arms to him and the withdrawal, of the
Mount Vernon company, the acting

sent to enable the civil authority to
restore order and is not intended to be
substituted for it.

that any of the attorneys have spoken

II f. OF course right that the portions
OF the protective tariff raw which Mr..
Washburn abandons should be repealed.
The last vestlge Of all protection SHOULD
be repealed. as none Of II should ever have
been enacted. But to deal with the ques-
ton OF trusts by simply repeating some
parts Of the protective tariff acts would
be about as effective as the Sitting OF one

cannot refrain from saying one word upon
Mr. Washburn's lament at the changed

We're when he commenced life some fifty
years ago. Mr.. Washburn must rccOllect
that he started as young man in the
wild West. which was growing up like
magic. and an the young men growing up
then who had energy and enthusiasm ne
ccssariiy had opportunities which no old
and settled societies can offer As society
becomes better ordered and more settled
The exceptional chances for the individual
must necessarily become reduced. That
IS not the fault Of trusts-H is the nature
of am old society. Yet, whilst this is an
obvious truth. &c is at last the grievance
OF AN that is urged against the principle
OF industrial combination. and it amounts
to no more than the following proposition
and answer:
