DAVENPORT

Robbed While Asleep. When
Charles Hojohn, roomer at the Slate
house at Second and LeCIaire street,
awoke yesterday he at once knew he
had been touched. A hasty inspection
of his apartment revealed the fact that
he had lost an overcoat, a new suit of
clothes, a suit case and several other
articles of wearing apparel. He took
a further inventory and found that
the door to his room had been broken
into and the goods stolen while he was
asleep. He reported the matter to the
police and a search is now being made
for the thief. Hojohn stated that he
retired as usual but did not take any
extra precautions to protect his prop
erty. He had been rooming at the
Slate house but a short time He said
his clothing and property stolen would
entail loss of abont $50, as most OF
the stolen property was practically
now. The clues left by the thief are

Bryan Was Right.

Under the above caption, the York
Vile ENQUIRER says: "In a conlro
versy between men like Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Bailey, especially in such a
matter as the selection Of leader
of the large democratic minority in
the senate during the present crucial
period, we are unreservedly with Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan is a great ano
able man beyond question, and al
though only private citizen is far
more representative Cf the democrats
of the nation or even Of Texas than
Mr.. Bailey. MIR. Bailey and h's klnt
have won in the present instance,
temporarily at least; but unless
things go MI. Bryan's way, as com
pared with Mr.. Bailey's within the
next few months, the democrats will
stand a poor show very poo" show,
of retaining domination even of the
house of representatives. Twist and
turn it as we may, the present situa-
ton is largely due /, triumph of the
labors of Mr.. Bryan" The Enquirer
is right, and what is more, the people
of the country are looking to Bryan
to lead them in the paths they should

The Lorimer Tragedy.

Michael Link, who was indicted
for perjury in the Lorimer case and
turned States evidence, was found
dead Tuesday. Apopleyy killed him.
He had expected death, arranged his
affairs for it, warned his friends.
There can be little doubt that his
connection with the scandal of Lori
mer had shortened his lite. In COM
menting on the Lorimer tragedy as
it calls it, the New York World says:
at is useless, the attempt to take
fight on fippant view of this matter.
it is a CHASTITY tragedy Of American
politics. Link lies dead Of it. With
the $4,000 that he deposited to his
credit in Chicago, Holstlaw accepted
and must always feel the contempt
of those who Lad respected him as
the banker Of a little country town.
White and Beckemeyer, self-con-
fessed takers of bribes, find their
avowal no jest. Browne, who wore
the blue belt stuffed with bank-bills
about his waist, and Nanny ADfa-
hams, the bell-wether Of the bribec,
can scarcely erjoy their public promi-
nence.
Suave, smiling and cynical, the
man whose triumph has cost so much
anguish and shadow@d so many
homes still sits in the Senate. He
was chosen in Springfield by the mys-
terious votes Of 53 Democrats and
only 4S of his own party members.
In Washington 22 out Of 81 Senator
of his party faith voted to deprive
him of his seat. That is the title by
which he holds. Is it good enough
in view of the new testimony brought
out at Springfeld-for the presenr
Senate?" There is only one consola-
ton and that is the people will ston
choose the Senators themselves. and
then such men as Lorimer vii be
scarce in the United States Senate.
The days of the boobies is drawing to
a close.

Robbing Cotton Farmers.

The New Orleans Cotton Exchange
charges that a combine on tho part
of the jute bagging and cotton tie in
.terests are being formed for tie pur-
pose of further -ohbing the cotton
farmer by raising; the tariff duty on
these articles, and calls on Congress.
to put them on the free list. This
the Democrats in the House has done.
and it is to be hoped that they Will
be enabled to enact it into law.
1t is charged b., the Exchange that
with a cotton crop of twelve million
bales. yearly tell of approximately
a million dollars is paid by the farm
ers to the government and to the
bagging and tie trusts. That the t.
riff is almost prohibitive, is ind!cata1
by the fact that no ties are imported,
and that the tariff on imported bag
,eing yields only 100000 to the gov
ernment. The remainder of the mil
lion, or about S900,oJ0 is the contr'-
button of the southern farmers each
year to the bagging and tie Interests
of the nation, brought about by the
high tariff allowed under the Repub-
lican administration.
These facts are admitted, but 1t
is claimed tnat the trusts are not
vet satisfied. L: is alleged tha' there
is a combination amcng the oaggiAg
and tie manufacturers of the country
to have increased the duties on these
articles, so as not only to make the
tariff absolutely prohibitive, but to
allow an even higher price to be
charged the farmers for these nec7s-
sary articles of cotton poduction. In
this way, the toll levied upon the
southern farmer by the bagging and
tie interests will be heavier and great
er than ever before.
The Greenvilie News says "in ad-
dition to the present condition OF the
tariff, and the alleged future state OF
things unless the action is fore
stalled, there Is the added injustice
of discrimination between southern
and western farmers, to the misfor-
tune of former class of agriculturists.
Binder twine, which is a great factor
in the wheat and other grain crops
of the western ields, is on the free
list, and consequently the western
farmer, whose principal crops are
those which are bound with twine, Is
free from the toll to the trusts
On the other hand, the Southern
cotton farmer, whose largest crop is
that which must be bound in bagging
and ties, pays heavy tolls on both
jute bagging and cotton ties. This
discrimination is made in favor of the
Western farmer because he votes the
Republican ticket while the Southern
farmer votes the Democratic ticket.
1t is time the plundering OF the
Southern farmer for the benefit OF
the trusts should cease, and we hope
the present congress will be patriotic
enough to do il.
