that these various marks which you
have called trails were made by the
feet of three different people; admit
ting even that one of these indi-
viduals was Arbogast, who often
stays here after banking hours, l do
not see that you have established by
any satisfactory evidence your as
sumption that the other so-called
trails are those of Chatham and a
stranger. For aught 1 know to the
contrary, they may have been made
by some of the bank employees in the
discharge of their regular duties.
Chatham's coat may have caught on
a nail in the telephone closet last
week, while he was here in his legiti-
mate capacity of expert accountant.
The change of the combination of the
safe may be the result of an error;
for we have no direct proof whatever
that Arbogast is defaulter And,
then, when it comes to your interest
ing description of the alleged shoot
ing of Arbogast, 1T strikes me that
you are entirely carried away by your
enthusiasm; for, in your minute de-
scription of the path of the bullet, at
a certain angle, of which you seem
to know the measure almost to the
fraction of second, you overlook sew
eral important things. Two shots
were fired yesterday in or near the
knickerbocker bank. In, say you,
because here is revolver with two
empty cartridge shells; here is
black mark, which may have been
produced by the ricochet of bullet,
and here is shapeless piece of lead,
which may be that bullet. As, how
ever, one bullet cannot account for
two shots, you are forced at once to
assume that Chatham has carried
away the second one in the palm of
his hand. This is ingenious, very in
genious but"

ISSUE Is GENERAL.
Wabash Says Railroad Chiefs Are
Aiming at All Roads.

st. Louis, jan 22.-Heads of the diff
ferent trainmen's organizations which
have been in session here for several
days considering the grievances of en-
ployes of the Wabash railroad, are still
waiting for an answer to their request
for conference with President Ashley of
that road.
General Manager Ramsey of the Wa
bash today declared that the demands
of Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and the chiefs of
the other bodies, who, he says, are en-
deavoring to force the pending issues,
are not aimed solely at the Wabash
railroad.
1T is proposed" he said, ito use our
road as a stalking horse to secure con
cessions wanted from other railroads The
question of higher wages was submbitted
to me by a committee consisting OF en-
ployes some time ago. There are many
other questions besides the wage scale
and until we have carefully looked into
these written demands, we have no reply
to make to the employees.
The Wabash management acknowledges
the right of the employees of the road to
ask for what they think they are emit
tied to. but deny that any labor organ
ization or body of men who are not di-
rectly in the employ of the company has
the right to plead for them.

bonus for its establishment there? That
is the question which the people of the
wrecked and robbed village are asking
one Of another and propound1ng to the
trust But the great combine has not
replied and litigation is proposed
If this combine has reduced the cost
of tin plate to the consumers there
would be some excuse for its existence,
although that fact would not justify
the $25, 600 grab. But, instead OF reduc-
ton, there has been very great in
crease in the selling price OF its product.
If this increase were necessary in oroer
to pay fair dividends on stock repre-
senting actual investments, the Ameri-
can public would have no just cause
of complaint. But the trust put many
millions of water into its capitalization
after paying fabulous prices for. some
of the plants which it has closed out.
1t is paying very handsome dividends,
not only on all the capital put in, but on
millions of pure fiction.
Here is a case that demands the
prompt attention Of the judicious
friends of protection. This industry
owes its existence entirely to protection,
and it is grossly abusing the favor con-
ferred on it by congress. The Post does
not advocate free trade in tin plate.
for that would shut down all the works
engaged in that branch of manufac-
lures The country can not afford to
punish the trust for its eXactions by
turning 10000 people out of employ
ment and sending to England for a COM
modify which we have the means Of
producing at reasonable cost. But this
most ungrateful of all the benefciaries
of protection can and should be de-
prived of so much of its protection as
is used to shelter mOnopoliStlc eXac-
tions in order to pay dividends on wa
ter That can be done by this con-
gress at the present session. And that
ought to be done, but The Post sees lit
tie prospect of such action. Trusts will
live and flourish in spite of all that the
national government can do, but trusts
which practice extort1on under the
shelter of tariff schedules can be easily
brought to terms by national legisla-
ton If the friends of protection re-
fuse to defend it against its worst
enemies-the extortionists sheltered be-
hind it-there may come time when
tariff reform" will get on it's legs again
and be able to do more mischief than it
did under the Cleveland administration.
The heresy of free trade, although thor
oughly condemned and nearly bowled
out, is not so dead that its enemies can
not resurrect and reinvigOrate it.

Topeka is not alone in the matter of

lack of positive knowledge on the sub
Ject the prevailing disease" as is
evidenced by the following from the
Indianapolis News:
Whether the eruptive disease now
prevalent in Clay county is a mild type
OF smallpox or only chickenpox is still
a doubtful question in the minds of
many men, physicians as well as lay
men. We sincerely hope that closer in
vestigation will prove It to be the less
serious disease. But in any event, no
reasonable effort should be spared to
prevent the contagion from spreading.
An epidemic of chickenpox is to be
dreaded in any community, and steps
should always be taken to confine it
within the narrowest limits. In the
present case, as long as any shadow Of
doubt remains as to the true character
of the disease, the health authorities,
both state and local. should be on the
safe side by taking all the precautions
usually observed when an epidemic of
smallpox is threatened.
