THE Columbus convention to-day
congratulated the Republican party
on the fact that a Republican Con-
gress and Republican Legislature
were the authors of laws forbidding
the organization of business combi-
nations known as trusts and COM
bines,' but not word of praise did
it have for the sturdy efforts of At
torney General Monnett to enforce
the party's antitrust laws. Mr..
Monnett should understand that
while Republican antitrust laws are
good things to shout about during
campaigns, they are never made to
be enforced.

A SPARK of the warlike spirit that
was his characteristic of old, and
which gave him the quality of sue
cessful leader, was detected in the
speech of Senator Foraker to the
McKisson delegation from Cuyahoga
county at Columbus yesterday. 1.-The
day has dawned,' said he, "when
the representative of the Republi-
can voters in the state must be heard
in their state conventions. They
must have vote in the affairs of the
party. You are the true representa-
tives of the the Republican party in
Cuyahoga-county, and have always
under all circumstances been found
loyal to the party, and 1 say now
that you ought to have, and ] believe
you will have, seats in this cenven-
tion." But when the time came to
apportioD the badges to the contesting
delegations, the McKisson men were
not recognized, and it remains to be
seen what Foraker and his friends
intend to do about it.

THE Labor convention at Columbus
yesterday was attended by 126 dele
gates from various labor organiza-
tions throughout the state. The fol-
lowing excellent platform of princi-
pies was recommended to Ohio's
political parties for adoption: Equal
rights for all, special privileges for
none the adoption of initiative and
referendum; more rigid examina-
tion of workshops, mines and homes;
liability of employers for injury to
health, body or life; equal pay for
equal work for male and female;
abolition of the sweating system;
municipal ownership of all public
utilities; national ownership of tele-
graphs, telephones, railroads and all
public highways; abolition of con-
vict labor; abolition of government
by injunction. A proposition to
place an Independent ticket in the
field was voted down. AS the best
of the principles advocated by the
Labor convention will appear in the
platform of the Ohio Democracy this
year, there will be no necessity for
an independent ticket.

A SENSATIONAL MURDER.
Judge LaPlace, of Louisiana, Assassi-
mated by Whitecaps.

New Orleans, October 1.-THE kill
ing of Judge Brazil laPlace was one of
the most sensational which has taken
place in Louisiana in years. The re-
port in the vicinity is that young lady
was involved. Her father was connect
ed with the plantation and left there
yesterday, seeking TO take his daughter
with him. She escaped from him and
remained behind.
About 10 O'Clock at night some one
came to the door and called for the
judge. He came out and while walking
down the high stairway to- the road
around him, seized him and pinioned
his arms. He was led some distance
when the crowd halted, one man placed
a pistol 40 his back and sent a bullet
through his kidneys, killing him in
stantly. The body was left in the road.
Rain fell upon it during the night and
it was rescued from the mud by rela-
tives who went up from New Orleans
this morning.
These relatives aver that the killing
was political, but the woman's story Is
generally known and the mob's action
was based upon the fact that Judge Ia
Place is a married man, his family re-
siding at laPlace, a few miles away,
named after his distinguished father.
Judge Rose has called meeting OF
the grand jury OF the parish for tomor-

Savannah, Ga, October 11.-For the
first time in more than ten years spirits
of turpentine was quoted at so cents a
gallon on the floor of the board Of
trade this morning. The increases did
not cause any furry. When the high
price was reached before it was later
in the season. In March, 1889, the price
was run up to 81 cents, where II stayed
for a day or so. The naval stores peo-

More than half the present crop Is
in port. The season began I'm April and
half OF the crop was sold by August.
The highest prices of the season are
usually recorded in January and Feb
ruary and it is being freely predicted
that the top limit has not yet been
reached. The receipts are light and
the evidences are that the crop will be
short.

SECURING ARMS.

Almost Immediately mysterious
boxes began to arrive from Northern
cities, some by way Of Chambersburg,
Pa, and others by Shepherdstown.
Brown said the boxes contained min
ing tools, but they really contained
firearms and pixies. Soon Brown had
in the house 200 Sharps rifles, 200
Maynard's revolvers, and 1000 pixies
or spears.
Gen. Henry Kyd Douglas, of Ha-
gsrstown, without knowing what was
in them, of course, helped haul some
of the boxes to the Kennedy farm.
His father lived near ShepherdstOwn,
and Brown hired one of his teams to
haul the goods. Young Douglas, then
boy, was sent by his father to drive
the team.
