Late this evening the news reached
here of the brutal murder of Simon

in the Interior of the county. near
strIngtown, by two well known young
men Of that vicinity. The story which
was received here is to the effect that
last night, while RiwaslSy was passing
along the road. on his way to String
town, he was set upon by a young man
named Boohef ana a companion, whose
name is not given, and after they had
beaten the peddler into insensibllity
they each took shot at him. The
INJURIES sustained by the unfortunate
peddler from the beating which he re-
ceived would alone have been enough
to kill him, but afterwards the two men
shot him. each OF the balls entering vital

Suspicion pointed to Booher and his
companion as the murderers from the
fact that they had been exhibiting some
notions, such as peddlers carry In their
packs. They also seemed to have
quite little money, and as they had
not been working for some time this
alone was suspicious.
The men have been arrested. and are
under heavy guard, the authorities out

them. The victim Of the assault IS wen

THE TRUSTS AND THE ARMY.
lRnltinore SUM-

A standing army of 100000 men, scat
tered throughout the United States and
in the Pacific and Caribbean, might not
be monaco under those conditions,
but troops widely separated can be easily
concentrated at a given point where
their presence is required to overawe
and intimdate. Moreover, an Increase
of the regular army to 100000 men
would be only the entering wedge; in
time it might be 100000, and no man can
foretell what the end VIII be. Some
day the American people will have to
decide once for all whether they VIII
be dominated by the trusts or whether.
by the peaceful methods of the ballot
box. they will throttle those comb nations
which are now all-powerful. When the
trusts 20 into politics, gain the control
of Congress and even convince the de-
partment of justice that law is wholly
on their side, nothing short of a popu-
lar revolution, with the ballot rs the
weapon of offense, can establish the
rights of the people When The time
is ripe for This revolution we want
no immense standing army to be used
to thwart the will of the people.
