If this great and splendid fabric OF
prosperity which has been built with
so much labor and care and which
has brought content and happiness to
every family in the land, is to be
purged and cut, let republicans stay
their hands and let democratic doc
tors write the prescription and apply
the knife.
Beware of Brutus or Judas.
If this great system under which
and through which we have prosper
ed, as no nation in the world ever
prospered before, is to be crushed; If
reciprocity is to be used in sense
that Blaine never meant and McKin-
ley never dreamed of; if the tariff
which as a whole has stood firm and
solid against all and every frontal at
tack is now to be torn down in detail;
if the foundation is to be Slapped by
removing stone here and stone
there; if the free traders, under the
guise Of reciprocity, fear to attack the
tariff as it stands now in it's robust
strength Of the altogether but, as
pretended protectionists, stab it here
and stab it there, then in the name of
all that is great and noble in republi-
can history and memory, let no Bru-
tus dagger be found reeking with
blood in a republican hand; let no
echo of Judas kiss be sounded from
republican lips!
The republican party made the tar
if when the country was in sore need,
and the republican party will revise
and amend the tariff in part or in
whole when convinced that there is
need for revision, and that the time
for revision has come"

ROBBERS USE TOO
MUCH DYNAMITE
BLOW MONEY TO THE WINDS
AFTER NUMBERING EXPRESS
MESSENGER.

Sacramento, April 2.-The men who
held up the Ogden express on the
Southern Pacific at Copley Thursday
night and killed Messenger O'Neil got
no money. This is explained by Con-
ductor Pangher, who says:
''The fact that the robbers obtained
nothing for their work was because
they put too much of the explosive on
the safe. When the dynamite went of
it tore away the top and sides of the
car and in consequence the money in
the safe was scattered far and wide .
Telling of the killing of O'Neil, the
conductor said that after the robbers
had marched the trainmen to the ex.
press car and lined them up they or.
dered the engineer to knock on the
door Of the express car, and as he did
so, one of the men said, open the
car" O'Neil opened the door to looE
out and was shot dead. He had nc
chance for life at all.
