land that was to pass the junction at
o'clock in the morning Now he was
told that he might have had five hours
more of the comfortable bed he had
been forced to leave at midnight.
Presently there was the noise of
sleigh bells, and a cutter drew up
alongside of the platform. Carlisle
glanced with interest at the slight fig
ure that stepped out, and then, as the
driver showed no disposition to aid her
with heavy satchel, he went out with
a courteous offer of assistance
"Has the overland gone through
yet?" she inquired eagerly.
Carlisle gave short laugh. 'At last
reports lie said easily, "the overland
will pass through here about 8 O'clock,
but my informant" with a nod in the
direction of the snoring baggage mas
ter, "did not state whether it was last
nights or tonight's that was expected"
By this time she had removed her
heavy wraps and veil, and Carlisle
could see the look of disappointment
that clouded her pretty face. "The
junction train was showed in, and
hired a farmer to drive me over in his
cutter"
"The junction train," said Carlisle,
suffers from the same complaint as
those on the main line. Since we are
here until morning may l invite you to
sup with me?'
He drew from his satchel two sand
wiches and solemnly offered her one. Il

structure Of bread and meat, and they
were soon chatting like old friends.

The editor Of this great country
journal knows no more Of the nature of
horse than Col. Wood does Of the in
tricacies Of farming, but since our run

forward to an expose OF all that Mr..
Wood is supposed to know Of the equine
propaganda. or course, we will be-
cuffed around in the columns Of his dis
reputable sheet in most crude and
merciless manner by this hydrogaso-

good material for "roast," and we
hope the Colonel will make the best Of
it. We wish we had the opportunity

Ohio VS.. "Iowa idea !"

"Iowa republicans 'reiterate their
faith in the historic policy ofprotection,
and declare in the same breath that
tariff rates should be just, fair and i'm
partial, equally opposed to foreign con-
troll and domestic monopoly, to section
al discrimination and individual favor
ltism.' Just so. Yet mere words can
not change brass pot into pure gold,
turkey buzzards into spring chickens.
nor republican protective tariff policy
that has fostered the hugest monopolies
on earth into any thing 'just, fair and
impartial Iowa republicans may be
harmonious but they are also shallow
and inconsistent Weston Leader.
That the "Iowa idea" dies hard is
evidenced by the tariff plank adopted
by the republican convention at Des
Moines. The Astand- -patters," accord
ing to the dispatches, are each claiming
the victory. The result, however, seems
to have been drawn battle. The
tand-patters' are exulting because
the "shelter-to-trusts clause, which
figured in former Iowa tariff planhs,
is omitted The Cummins wing,
on the other hand. maintains that in the
declaration in favor OF revising sched-
ules, and the one insisting that the
rates shall be ''opposed to foreign con
troll and domestic monopoly" the sub
stance OF the idea is preserved.
Few republicans probably will be dis
posed to be very critical of the Iowa
tariff plank. Many, however, will be
inclined to draw comparisons between
the deliverance at Des Moines recently
and that Of the Ohio republicans at
Columbus on the 4th of last month.
The Iowa plank, after general tribute
to the principle Of pr election, reads as
follows:
"Tariff rates enacted to carry this
policy into effect should be just, fair
and impartial, opposed to foreign con-
troll and domestic monopoly, to section
III discrimination and individual favorit~
i'm, and must from time to time be
changed to meet the varying conditions
Incident to the progress of our indus
tries and their changing relations in our
fireign and domestic commerce. Reci-
procity between nations is trade for |
mutual advantage and both sides must |
give and take. Protection builds up
domestic industry and trade and secures
our own markets for our services; rec
iprocity builds up foreign trade and
finds an outlet for our surplus"
The Ohio plank, after its eulogy OF
protection, has the following:
I'VE oppose all attacks upon this
policy whatever the pretext, as tending
to bring back the disastrous days of
democratic tariff revision and free trade.
Changing conditions aud the possible
benefits Of reciprocity may call for
timely readjustment OF schedules, but
protection as principle and as policy
must be administered by the friends of
American prosperity and must not be
sacrificed" rt
II is safe to say that to the great mass
u republicans the Ohio declaration will
appear TO have the truer ring. And it
may also be predicted that the Ohio de.
liverance, and not that OF Iowa, viii be
the one that viii be followed in the
tariff plank Of the next republican
national convention.

NEW ORLEANS MAN
BREAKS Up GAME
ENTERS A GAMBLING HOUSE,
BLAZES AWAY WITH HIS PlS-
ToL AND GETS OFF WITH A
ROLL OF BILLS.

New Orleans, July 1S.-Announcing his
inability to get the authorities to sup
press gambling, John Fineran, a grocer
tonight sensationally closed up one of
the leading Royal street establishments.
Fineran's brother has been bucling the
tiger and losing Unable to persuade him
to desist the grocer went to prosecuting
official and asked him to shut up the
house. The official said he was power
less to do so. "well. I'll show you that
I can close up one of Them" said Fineran.
This evening he entered one of the Royal
street houses. Faro, roulette and other
games were in progress. The house was
comfortably filled with players. Fineran
went to those who were running the game
and demanded that the house be closed.
Getting no satisfaction he made break
for the bank, drew a big gun from his
pocket, kicked over table, blazed away
with his pistol and grabbing a roll of bills
containing several hundred dollars and
some diamonds that were In pawn, backed
away to a rear staircase.
The widest confusion resulted when the
pistol was discharged and the men who
were playing broke panic stricken for the
exits. In a few minutes Royal street
was congested with people When the
police put in an appearance the gamblers
had all disappeared. Fineran made no
attempt to escape. He was arrested and
taken to police headquarters. There he
turned over to the officials the money
he had taken from the bank He said he
wanted 1t recorded as his property to be
used as evidence that he had kept his
promise to close UP at least one game for
the time being.
The raided place was dark tonight.
