SAFE ROBB Err CAUGHT.
Louis Seguin, an EmpIoye OF Mr.. Good
els, Arrested and Acknowledges
the Crime.

Late Wednesday afternoon Of last
week Louis Seguin, for two years
past an employe Of Mr.. Goodells,
was taken In charge by Sheriff Shaw
on suspicion that he IA the party
who robbed Mr.. Goodell's safe at
Philbrook the Saturday night pre-
vious, securing $3.50 belonging to Mr..
r. A. Jellison and sll belonging to
Mrs. Goodell. Seguin acknowledged
that he had the money, and from his
person was taken all but about $50.
$2O of which he had loaned to II. G..
Phillips and $40 spent for clothing.
From the first Seguin had been
looked upon with suspicion, and
when be left Mr.. Goodell's ranch
Tuesday night tocome to Lewistown
the officers were warned to look out
for him. Wednesday noon Sheriff
Shaw advised Mr.. Goodell that Seguin
was spending money rather freely
and that he was known to have at
least $50 on him. Mr.. GOodell and
Mr.. Jellisun came over at once and
soon after their arrival Seguin was
taken into custody. Witha an effront-
cry amounting almost to insanity he
asked Mr.. Goodell to help him out so
that he would not have to go to jail.
He waived examination and has Sc
cured Il. X. Cheadle to defend him.
The fellow seems DESTROYS of entan-
Cling others in the robbery and also
casts reflections upon members of Mr..
Goodell's family. but was told by the
latter to go ahead, tho he should not
hope for success in any blackmalling
schemes.
1t is thought that Seguin obtained
the combination by careful watching
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Goodell when open
ing the safe and that he took the
keys from Homer Goodell's pocket
during the night, replacing them after
the money had been secured. Seguin
and the young nan occupied adjoin-
ing rooms on the second floor. while
the rest of the family slept down.

THE D%GMAGOGUE'S D

In "A speech delivered at Des Moines,
Iowa, on the 18th inst, w. J. Bryan
ALTERED the following:
~Silver IL not the only thing, and II
new issues arise which seem to be
more important than those Of the
past. il il proper for the party tOgive
prominence To the new and even
ase them IA the basis OF acampaign."
The above hows Mr.. Bryan to bea
cheap and vacillating demagogue,
willing to accept any issue that has
Che possibility of arousing the preju-
Sdires and hatred of the people If it
viii only aid him in his scramble for
The presidency. 1t shows him to he
a sballo w-pated politician instead Of
q statesman. Ii free silver at the
ratio of 10 to / was the proper thing
Tor this country three years ago, why
Ia it not now? II it was a ~fallacious
Idea three years ago, why didn't this
great statesman discover IL? Will
he admit that he was wrong then?
Even early this year Mr.. Bryan con.
tended that free silver should bemade
Che paramount issue. Now he says
new ones can he used as the 'basis of
acampaign."
Theiact Is, Mr.. Bryan and his fol.
low ors are simply displaying a little
priderSf opinion in adhering to free
SILVER. They hate to admit that they
g wrong in their contention, and
<esrre tn slip away from tllequestion
as smoothly and adroitly az possible.
Vt amounts to nothing to say that
She Chicago platform will be reaf-
armed ut the next national cUnven-
itiou. Three lines would do that.
Democracy always owns up to its
own infamy. 1t has a sort of respect
0r reverence for its dead idols and
Eeadjdeus, possibly because il never
kas any thing to look forward to and
IL always looking back. 1t opposed
the war Tor the preservation Of the
Enion when Grant and Sherman had
the rebels in the last ditch. 1t called
Abraham Lincoln everything that
fendish hate and malignant tongues
could originate and utter. This has
never been denied, possibly from the
fact that there are yet too many liv-
ing witnesses to the fact.
Yet, il the Democracy can find some
Issue that will appeal TO passion and
yrejudice, it will drop the money
question and take 1t up. Ignorance
IL Democracy's long suit. But fortu'
nately the great majority OF the
American people are too intelligent

and utilization. II this were Spain

perpetual existence. Fate is against
it, however. In all probability the
~ar In the Philippines will beover by
next spring and this will not be an
absorbing issue. With free silver
eliminated and only trusts left t.
Harp on, the party will be in a hare
s0w for an issue. Any old thing will
do, however, as 1t has no hope O
success.
