A fued had been In existence between Michael Rose and one of the Fuaton boys, living In Whitley county, for some time over ti which the former accused the Utter of stealing from him. A few weeks ago Fuston waylaid Rose nd seriously wounded him with a Winchester rifle.

From that time on the fued grew stronger and last week both parties backed by a large number of friends, laid In a liberal supply of shot guns and Winchester ritles.

Every alisa it now complains of was inaugurated by itself. During its term of office every refottn the Republicans call out for now was made necessary by their executive officers. They profess now to be in favor of further reforms in civil service, and yet while in power the Republicans sd abused civil service that Congrtss was obliged to interfere. I say if a Democratic official to-dav were guilty of such deeds as the Republicans committed during their terms of power he would be sent to the penitentiary. They denounce the Democratic party as wishing to demonetize, but the Democratic has not tried to do so.

Yet it is just what tbe Republican party do. It demonetised silver coin. On every day bf every year since the succession of Grover Cleveland tbe silver dollar has been kept on a par with gold. For this tbe administration deserves credit rather than condemnation. Now about this tariff question.

The republican party has declared for free whisky and free tobacco. Laughter They say we are for free trade. Now while we cheerfully concede to the Republican party the right to define its own position, we deny its right to define ours. Applause. Whoever asserts that the Democratic party is for free trade or that Grover Cleveland or tbe Democratic majority in Congress is for free trade i ignorant of tbe terms he use, or is so blinded by partisan prejudice that he caft-not do justice to his political opponent, since the establishment of the government the larger part of its revenues has been raised upon imported goods.

But it has been collecting more revenues than it needed so tbe Mills bill was prepared, llere it is. Applause. I am sure many of those who are denouncing it as a free trade measure have not read a single line of it, and would not understand it if they did. Wo would pnt raw wool on the free list and make a corresponding reduction upon woolen goods. Strange as it may seem to our Republican friends, the Democratic party are more in favor of cheap woolen goods than cheap whisky.

Great applause. The average advalorem duty on woolen goods now is 06 per cent The Mills bill would make it 48 percent, and the average duty a little over 40 per cent.

This exaltation is, if possible, added to by the fact that the declaration of principles is based upon your National message to the Congress of the United States relative to a tariff reduction and a diminution of the expenses of the government, throws down the direct and giant challenge for an exacting scrutiny of the administration of executive power which four years ago was committed to its trust by the election of Grover Cleveland Prcsi-ient of the United States and for the nost searching inquiry concerning its fidelity and devotion to the pledges which Llien invited the suffrages of the people.

The Emperor Afflicted. Edinburgh, July 8. Dr. Mackenzie, in an interview with a correspondent of the Scotsman, at Venice, Italy, denied the accuracy of tho Interview published in the Dutch Dag Mad in which he was represented as tbat be had concealed the cancerous nature of the Emperor Frederick's malady in arder to prevent a regency. The Heotxmau' correspondent asked the loctor whether the statements in tbe Italian jresB that the present German emperor was luilerlng from an Incurable malady were true.

He replied that the statements were mostly exaggerated, but that it was a fact that the Emperor William had an aural complaint which was not unattended with dan-er, although many persons similarly a filleted had lived to an old age. Emperor William, be said, had Infantile paralysis of tbe arm which bad Impeded bis growth and was the cause of his being such a short man, unlike bis father. The paralysis bad slightly his arm, but he could use it well and was olherwise active and strong. Paris, July 8. Dr.

Mackenzie, In an Interview here, said he was to leave Berlin, aihere his movements were closely watched. "Empress Victoria," he said, "was surrounded by spies after the death of Emperor Frederick. I was confined at Potsdam fsx several hours. Emperor William's conduct was odd altogether. I almost think his malady has affected his brain.

Manchester, if. Union. Four years ago there wasn't a Republican orator or a Blaine organ that didn't paint the blackest picture possiblo of the results if Mr.

Cleveland was elected. We were told tbat manufacturing would be paralyzed and the grass grow in our streets; that the rebel debt would be paid, the rebel soldiers pensioned, and the wages of the laborer be reduced to starvation prices. Yet everybody knows that with Democratic victory came none of the things predicted. Instead of manufacturing being destroyed new mills and factories have sprung into existence in our midst; no one has seriously suggested the payment of the rebel debt or the pension of rebel soldiers, and the wage-workers are happy in the equally good and shorter hours of labor. We admit that this talk of alarmists has had its effect in the past, but it will not do again, for the people have learned that it is political talk, made only for political effect.

Nothing proposed by President Cleveland or the Democratic party has any other purpose than the improvement of the people of the country, and the danger to the interests of the country come not from tariff reform, but from the delay in affording relief from taxation, a relief promised by both parties four years ago, but now opposed by the Republicans in Congress. Tariff reduction may prove unwelcome to the trusts and monopolies that flourish upon over-taxation, but honest business and the common people will be benefited by it The howl of the politiciau will come with the campaign, but the evils be prophesies will be as uncertain as his predictions have proved in the past away with him and dragged the life out pf nun.

This led to the arrest of two negroes, woe explained that they were dicgitut tor treasure which a wizard had told them was bailed there. Even the oldest fashioned garden does not contain all tha varieties grown In Shakespeare's day. The flowers for Msf and Jane enumerated by Bacoa were "pinks of aU kinds, specially tbe blaih pink; rosea of all men tney wanted.

One went to lloge door, room 15, and rapped. There was no response and the knock was repeated In a more energetic manner. This roused Hoge, who opened tbe door. "What Is wau ted he asked. HOW THE ARRESTS Wr.BE MADE.

t. "Mr. Hoge," was the reply. i 4 'That's my name." "Then I have a warrant lor your arrest." Said the officer. 'All right, I will be with you In a moment," answered Hoge, who expressed no surprise, but hastily dressed himself and joined tbe officer in the ball.

In the meantime the other officer had gone to room 27, which ho knew was occupied by Murphy, who came to the door in response to his rap. He was very drowsy and had evidently bad a little sleep. "Whose room is tbisi" asked tbe officer. "Cbnrlcs Thomas," was the reply. i "I thought Murphy occupied it." "Well, so he does; that's my name, but unless your business is of great importance I am too tired to talk now." "But It is of Importance.

I have a warrant for your arrest" Murphv was awake now. His face grew pale as the night robe he wore. He staggered baek, grasping the door frame for support. "A warrant! he gasped. "What for.for God's sake?" "It charges you with conspiracy against the Chicago, Burlington and Quiacy road," the warrant was read to him.

Murphy dressed himself slowly. He was too uervous to proceed as leisurely as did Hoge. A light alpaca coat aud vest and a straw bat completed bis attire and he shivered as he went out into tbe chilly morning air. Hoge spoke to him cheerfully, but he was not in a mood to respond and little was said until thev were placed in cells behind prison bars. When the prisoners were seen later, lloge was sitting easily on bis bencb.

He did not seem at all terrified at his predicament aud smiled good-naturedly when approached. "Yes, I was surprised," he said, "greatly surprised; but they had no trouble in arresting me, I guess." "Anything to say!" "No, I think I won't talk now. It wouldn't be right, you see, to say anything until I see my attorney." "How about those circulars!" 'Now, I told you that I have nothing to lay. It is useless to ask me." Murphy was pacing up and down bis cell. He was very nervous and greatly agitated.

A question put to him elicited no response. Another brought him to the door of his cell. He is a featured young man with prominent nose and thin lips. Sharp gray eyes glance from under buhy eye brows, beneath a good forehead. His pale face wore a deathly pallor, and as be paced up and down his clenched hands told of toe state of nervousness.

The Rt.

Hon. W. H. Smith, government leader, said that the house was Incompetent to Inquire Into the suit. A prooer Inquiry could be obtained through proper tribunals.

Mr. Parnell later gave notice to the bouse tbat on Thursday be would submit a motion for the appointment of a commission to Inquire into tbe authenticity of the letters published by tbe 'limes lu Us articles on "I'arnell-lsra and Crime," in which he and other nationalist members were charged with serious crimes.

Mr. Balfour replied that tbe existing system of law was sufficient to secure a proper Inquiry if any were necessary. Mr. O'Brien considered the reply unmeaning and evasive, and stated that be would renew tbe question on Thursday if he found that the government were not making a reaching inquiry into the matter, and that be would chalilenge the opinion of the house In regard to it.

Let us put lie result of tho Republican deliberations in the most compact form possible.

It is that the high tariff must be maintained intact, and that if relief is needed it must come from the abolition of the taxes on whisky and tobacco. This is the entire question in a nutshell. Clothe tho declaration in whatever language you will, that is the unalterable sum and substance of it Taxed blankets, taxed tea, coffee, sugar, and all necessaries, but free whisky and tobacco. Blaine-ism pure and simple. Almost the exact words contained in the Paris letter of tbe Maine statesman.

What need of his presence when he can so surely rule his party though nearly 4,000 miles away? The issue is indeed clearly defined. The Democrats will gladly meet it It is the cause of the monopolists, tbe creatures and creation of the high-tariff system against the people who are being robbed. It is an issue, too, which the Democrats will not take up arms against unsupported. Western Republicans who have asked for bread and have been given a stone, who hayc demanded a reduction upon tbe necessaries of life and have been offered free tobacco and whisky, will join them in the fight No cavil or quibble can now be possible. It is right against monopolistic might.

The political party to which I rwe allegiance both honors and com-mands me. It places in my hands its oroud standard and bids me bear it high it the front in the battle which it wages bravely, because conscious of right; because its trust is in the people, and soberly, because it comprehends the obligations which success im-ooses. The message which you bring iwakens within me the liveliest sense of personal gratitude and satisfaction, and honor which you tender me is in itself to great that there might well bo no room for any other sentiment.

And yet cannot rid myself of grave and serious when I remember that party lupremacy is not alone involved in the which presses upon us, but that we struggle to secure and save the chcr-shed institutions and tbe welfare and iappine3s of the nation and of freemen.

This occasion reminds ne most vividly of the scene when four fears ago I received a message from my )arty similar to that which you now de-iver.

With all that has passed since hat day I can truly say that the feeling awe with which I heard the summons hen is intensified many fold when it is epeated now. Four years ago, I knew ibat our chief executive office, if not carefully guarded, might drift little by little from the people to whom it belonged and jecome the perversion of all it ought to je; but I did not know how much its noorincs had already been loosened. I tnew four years ago how well devised were the principles of true Democracy tor the successful operation of the Gov-irnment by tbe people aud for the people, jut I did not know how absolutely their application then was for the restoration to the people of their safely ind prosperity. I knew then that abures ind extravagenccs had crept iuto the management of public affairs, but I did lot know their numerous forms nor the cnacity of their grasp. I knew then lomctbing of tbe bitterness of partisan ibstruction, but I did not know how biter; bow reckless and how shameless it be.

I knew, too, that the American jeoplc were patriotic and just, but I did lot know how grandly they loved their jountry nor how noble and generous they were. I shall not dwell upon the acts ind policy of the administration now liawing to its close. Its record is open every citizen of the land, and yet I will lot be denied the privilege of asserting it this time that in the exercise of the 'unctions of the high trust confided to ne, I have yielded obedience only to the institution and the solemn obligation of ny oath of office. I have done those liings which, in the light of the under-itanding God has given me, seemed most jondusive of the welfare of my countrymen aud the promotion of good government. I would not, if I could, for myself lor for j'ou, avoid a single consequence the fair interpretation of my course.
