home, On the way the Sheriff re-
ceived telegram from Baisdens,
with whom the man had traded, re-
questing him to hold the horse deal
er as a suspected borse thief. The
Sheriff inveiglcd the man across the
river under the pretense that he
would buy the horse and wagon but
could not get the money without
coming over to Matamoras. Arriv-
ing there he arrested and brought
him to Jail and after making efforts
to discover whether the property
had been stolen and failing to obtain
any evidence he took the man back
to Port Jervis Saturday night and
turned him loose. The person
claimed that his ACT grew out of
trouble with his wife, and also a
financial difficulty in which his
father, who he stated is a farmer
aud horse dealer, was involved. His
actions indlcated that he was either
drunk, crazy or horse thief.

Disgraceful Row.

A brawl was indulged in last Sat
urday night at one of the hotels
here which resulted in officer Wood
being called in to quell the disturb
ance. He arrested one of the part
les engaged and took him to the lock
up but it subsequently appearing
that he was not the actual agressor
he was released. During the melee
Tom Quick, who with others was
present, it is alleged, interfered
with the officer or at least attempted
to secare the release Of the party,
and for this he was on Monday
brought before H B. Reed Esq, on
warrant issued on complaint Of
officer Wood, and gaYe bail in S1Oo
for his appearance to court. We
Withhold the names of those actively
engaged in the affair for the reason
that future proceedings may be in
stltuted and we have no wish tC
prejudice the interest of any. The
affair was a disgrace TO all concern

son for their future conduct. 1t
would be well at all events for some
of those interested to have care
for their conduct hereafter.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. d. c.. MARCH 25, 1901.
Should the Republicans of the
next Congress use the tariff to put a
curb upon trusts? That is substau-
TALLY the question asked by Repre-
sentative Babcock, of Wisconsin,
when he introduced his bill in the
House to repeal the tariff on manu-.
factured steel and iron. Mr.. Bah
cock, who is now in Washington, is
still asking that question and he is
going to add emphasis by including
tin plate and plate glass in his bill
before it is re-introduced in the next
House. Speaking on the subject
Mr.. Bibcook, said "The Republican
party is party of progress. Its
great hold upon the people is due to
IFS aggressiveness and It's willing
ness to meet problems. We have
now a new and very serious problem
before us in the effect on the tariff
i creating trusts, and we ought to
meet it, am certain that large
majority OF the House favors the
bill When the American protect.
i've league gave banquet recently,
ana this matter was discussed by
one or two speakers, Congressman
Mccall, of Massachusetts,, was cheer
ed to the echo when lie predicted
that changes in the tariff would
have to he made, and that it was
best to let such changes be made by
the friends of the protective system.
| am not an enemy Of protection,
but know that the first principle
Of protection is protection of the
people When l see American man
ufacturers in n position where they
can charge tho American people
what they see fit, and yet can sell
the same goods abroad for much
lower sum, l think it is time for
Congress to step in and work II re-
form. This is the part of wisdom,
good judgement and good sense, for
if we do not do it, we will presently
find that the people have risen in
revolt and placed in power party
which is hostile to all kinds of tar
iff. ] would not abate a iot or title
of protection where it is needed.
All that 1 contend is that the pro-
tective principle, having given u
tremendous advantage to the manu-
facturers, is now being used to the
detriment of our own people. 1 do
not think this should be allowed"

Republicans are beginning to real
ize that Congressional action may
be necessary to stop the wholesale
Acknowledgement of voters in South
ern states Senator Burrows, of
Mich, who will be chairman of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
elections said on the subject: THE
new Maryland ballot law is very
likely TO bring to the attention of
Congress various so-called disfran-
chisement laws, and open the whole
question of representation in Con-
gross on the basis of men who are
not legal voters under state laws.
Congress does not desire to discuss
these subjects, but, in my opinion,
the question will be forced upon us
for determination by the unwise
action of some of the states. We
have now before as the example of
a great state, endeavoring to dis
franchise some 10000 citizens in or
der to give one political party con-
troll of the legislature. There is no
fear of negIo domination. That is
not the excuse for the law. Certain
Democrats seek to control the af-
fairs Of the state, and to accomplish
this purpose to disfranchise a suffic-
lent number of the opposite number
It is nothing more than this. AS
Senator Burrows sses it, the ques-
ton presents three phases: "The
effect disfranchisement has on the
basis of representation on the lower
House the propriety Of accepting
Senators in Congress who have been
elected by legislatures elected after
a large number of voters were dis
franchised so that the legislatures
would be favorable to certain men,
and the public policy Of permitting
political parties to disfranehise a
large number Of their opponents to
maintain their dominant position in
the State. "

]RMONT PHOENIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY MAY "a 1901

One American lady has had the hon
or of being invited to become a con-
tributor to La Fronde. She is Countess
Anna de Alontaigu; of pure American
blood, of southern birth, but was mar
ried very young to a Frenchman and
came to Paris to live. Consequently
she is one of the few English speaking
women who know French well enough
rights of woman, though it does not
harp upon this TO the exclusion of ev.
erything else. at would become tire
some to the public if everything in it
was about women" said Nine. Four
nier, very truly. So it was made a
general newspaper, and an excellent
one, speaking up boldly meanwhile for
liberty for women, Industrial and DO
litical, when the occasion Is right. The
conductors of the paper believe, also
quite correctly, that they can give no
better proof of the intellectual power
they claim for woman than by show
Ing actually what she can and does do
In daily newspaper to which no man
contributes a line Of writing or a lick
of work. La Fronde was also one of
the two or three Paris papers coura-
geous enough to come out on the Drey-
fus side during that exciting and lam
entable controversy, which shook the
French government to its foundation.
After all, however, the thing that i'm
pressed me most strongly and delight
fully in this feminine newspaper office
was the genuine good will and corps
spirit existing among the members of
the staff. Toward the managing editor
there was plainly manifest a real af-
fection. In an experience of half a
lifetime in newspaper offices | never
encountered anything like the atmos
phere of perfect harmony and cour
tesy that was manifest among these
brave women workers. 1t is as rare as
beautiful.
