that he is Republican. 1t is use'

The hogs are missing and several
lobbyists smokehouse doors are
now so close shut that nothing can
open them. And if the lobbyists
got all the pork and the senators
none, the dictionaries still bear out

at any meeting and every
Democratic senator was present at
all of them.-GIobe Democrat.

Let us hope that in settling their
senatorial deadlock the Illinois Re-
publicans have not opened a Pan
dora's box of party troubles.

We hear a great deal from Dem
ocratic sources about the increased
cost of living and the responsibility
of the. protective tariff for this
condition. While the cost of liv.
ing has had an upward tendency
in recent years, the tariff is not as
much responsible for it as our
Democratic friends would have it
appear. No one is 80 foolish as to
charge the present price of flour,
or, for that matter, the high prices
Of pretty nearly all farm products,
to the tariff. The tariff may af-
feet some of the necessaries of
life. but it does not apply serious
ly to bread and meat.

Light on Snake Bites.

Dr.. John Marshal, professor of
chemistry at the University of
Pennsylvania, in talk before a
group of physicians of Philadel-
phia gave the result Of five years
research, the object of which was
to identify the active toxic princi
pie in the rattIesnake's venom.
When he regards the discovery as
almost made, he says frankly that
be has not as yet succeeded. He
did not know however, that most
of the ancient myths regarding
the rattler have no basis in science.
He says for instance, that there
are no aniidotes for the rattler's
poison and that the popular meth
DDS of treatment ure all wrong and
no good. He says that whiskey is
not TN antidote and that the only
good it can do is in some cases to
prevent the patient from dying
from fright; that the snake can
not inject enough of the poison to
kill an ordinary adult and that
death very seldom occurs from
snake bites. The best known
treatment he says is to suck the
wound, removing as much as pos
sible of tie venom. Cutting out
the fangs does no good US new ones

When Democrat like Senator
Stone can, with apparent conscien'
tiouspess and evident satisfaction,
vote to maintain protective tariff
schedule upon iron, an article al
legged heretofore by most members
Of the Senator's party as being
trust controlled, and for that reas-
on should be upon the free list, we
may say with confidence in the as.
sertion that protection is no longer
strictly a Republican party tenet.
Senstor Stone is not alone on the
Democratic side of the senate in
this breaking away from party
tradition on the tariff question, his
company there is both good and
numerous. Like Senator Bailey
of Texas, who has also voted to re-
tain certain protective schedules,
Senator Stone has been criticized
in this conduct, by Mr.. Bryan, and
while he says he does not :hold
himself above criticism. he lines
up with his Texas colleague in the
admission that he does not regard
Mr.. Bryan as the arbiter of his Of
fetal conduct or the policies of the
Democratic party. To many of
our Bryanite friends this will be
rank heresy, but they will be only
those who follow party leadership
blindly, aud never learn wisdom
of their own volition. The action
of Senators Stone, Bailey and 9TH
ers on that side of the senate doubt
less fortells a general breaking
away from partisan lines, affecting
Republicans as much as Demo.
Gratis, in matters of great public
policy. No matter how much
clamor there may be for general
revision of the tariff downward,
public men recognize the fact that
the welfare of the nation depends
to a great extent upon that dis
tinctivo American policy, protec-
ton of American labor against the
products of the cheaper labor Of
Europe. Senator Stones course
is confession on bis part that par
ty policy must not be given
precedence of common sense.

Big SENSATION
IN MAGIC CITY
Young Man and Woman Charged
With Vicious Crime. Married
Woman ALLEGED Victim.

Minot, N. D. Sept.-A crime
the viciousness of which has
never been equalled in the
magic city is alleged to have
been committed last evening
by a prominent young man of
the city, the wife of a railroad
engineer, and a young woman
who was evidently inveigled
into the affair by the other two.
The facts came to the attention
of the police last evening upon
a complaint issued by the wife
of a railroad fireman, who lives
across from the scene of the
crime. According to her story
she was called to the house late
last evening by the other three
and while there was drugged.
Whether an assault vas COM
mitted is still a matter of con-
lecture, but it is alleged that
the woman was made a victim
of the intentions of the young
man.
For sometime the effects of
the drug that was used did not
disappear and the perpetrators
becoming alarmed, dragged the
woman to her home across the
street, throwing her into her
yard. where che was found
some hours later. The marks
of the woman's feet as she was
being dragged across the street
are still plainly discernible in
the mud and prove that part OF
the story beyond a doubt.
The victims husband arrived
home from his run this morn
ing, and is highly enraged,
swearing to go to the limit OF
the law to punish the guilty
parties.
Two of the alleged guilty par
ties are we'll known in police
circles, having been implicated
in several other scrapes of a
criminal nature and the author
tiles feel no hesitancy in push
ing the case.
The complaining witness was
examined this afternoon by a
physician and the states attor-
ney, but the sesult of their ex-
animation has not been made
public.-Forum.
