This case has been tried a number of times during the past fifteen years and has been before the Supreme Court of the United States on more than one occasion.

Manufac turers who did not give to labor in in creased wages one penny of the addi tional bounty accorded to them by that monopoly fostering measure are ostenta tiously reducing wages or closing their works in the hope of bringing a pressure to bear" on Congress. Commission merchants and others who make money out 01 the necessities of the people in handling American products at tax enhanced prices are talking of "ruin to our industries," through untaxingtheir crude materials.

Mine owners who import the cheapest foreign labor to do their work at starvation wages howl for a continuation of the privilege of taxing the consumers of nature's bounty. It is the old cry of selfishness. It is the same sort of nuiiooziug and the same old scarecrow omX -failed of their purpose in the last two general elections. The Democrats of the Ways and Means Committee have not been frightened by this hubbub, and the country will not be. But it would be well if Democratic clubs and other organizations throughout the country, and the producers and consumers whose appeal for relief the committee has heeded, would make public or send to Washington an expression of their approval, with any changes which they have to sug gest, ine concerted attempt to discredit the bill should be met with united action to sustain it.

VALUE OF HANDS AND FINGERS. The comparative value of the hands and fingers is fixed in a scale of the Miners Unions and Miners' Insurance Companies of Germany. Thelossof both hands is reckoned as a depreciation in working capacity of 100 per of the right hand, 70 to 80 per varying witn occupation; lett hand, tiO to 70 per thumb, 20 to 30 per right forefinger, 14 to 18 per left fore finger, 8 to 13.5 per third finger, least in value, 7 to 9 per little hnger, 9 to 12 per cent. In Chicago there is so much suffering and destitution among the poor that the catholics have thrown open theirchurches and provided them with hammocks for sleeping the lodgers. The Protestants on the north side have rented a hall and fitted it up with cots enough to supply luree uunurea persons, i ne reiiet socie ties are flooded by appeals for clothinir.

and a canvass of the schools shows that the destitution among children is widespread. In Pullman, Hosland and Kensington the suffering and destitution is as bad and as general as it is in the city proper. Some idea maybe gained of the distress when a circular has been issued calling for men to meet on the lake front and proceed to lobt the stores. If the suffering is so great now what will it be in midwinter. About midnight or a little after of bunday night Mrs.

J. T. Caldwell, who lives at Brighton Hill station, was awakened by a bright light shining in ner iace. ne immediately awakened Mr. Caldwell who jumped out of bed and found the house on fire.

Without wait- mg to uress ne went to work to ex tinguish the fire. One or two of their neighbors came to his assistance and the fire was put out before any material dam age was done. Jt had its origin in a summer kitchen adjoining the main building and was of incendiary origin. A pile of kindling wood saturated with coal oil was found behind the door and the side of the building was smeared with oil. After the fire was out they found the on had been used so liberally that it ran through the floor and down into the cellar.

If the fire had got a little more of a start before it was discovered it would in all probability have burned not onlv Mr. Caldwell's house but two or three of the adjoining houses and possibly the Laid wells miarht have lost their lives. A fellow named Bill Epperson, who dresses well and is said to have no visible means of support, has been arrested and the detectives think they have sufficient evidence to conviet him. If he proves to be the guilty man he sould be punished to the full extent of the law. The man who commits such an atrocious deed is not fit to run at large.

He should be confined for the rest of his life. SHERIFF'S SALE. State of Kansas, Twenty-ninth Judicial District, Jss. County of Wyandott. No5961.

This of course is a The December number of the Forum comes with an announcement of a radical reduction in its price from 50 cents a copy to 25 cents; from $5 a year to $3. This sweeping change makes the Forum, which is the largest of our American Reviews, cheaper than most of the popular magazines. Its character is in no way changed and in size it continues to be the largest of the periodicals of its class. The contents of the December number sweep over a great variety of opportune subjects.

In politics, for instance, there is a scathing rebuke of the President for the Van Aleu appointment, by William D. Foulke; Mr. A. Augustus Healy and the Hon. W.

J. Coombs, both successful business men, write on the important subject of the Necessity of Immediate Tariff Reduction. Mr. Thomas G. Shearman has a very lucid article to show, that the financial difficulty in the agricultural sections of the country is caused, not by lacking the volume of money, but by the great lack of proper mediums of exchange.

In addition to these political articles the historian, Mr. John B. McMaster, writes the experience of our forefathers in dealing with filibustering minorities. There has perhaps never appeared a more instructive article on any educational subject, than President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, writes on "Child-Study: the Basis of Exact Education." The eminent historian.

W. E. H. Lecky. dis cusses the Anti-Jewish movement in Europe in "Israel Among the and there is an appreciative review of the heroic life, and the monumental historical works, of the late historian, Francis Parkman, by his intimate friend Julius H.

Ward; another historical article of great interest is Prof. Woodrow Wilson's scathing review of Mr. Gold win Smith's Political History of the United States. Frederic Harrison writes a most suggestive and most interesting paper on the "Uses of Rich Men in a the eminent anthropologist, Dr. Daniel G.

Brinton, gives the latest report of science as to the origin of man and the age of the human family. Dr. J. M. Rice who recently returned from Europe on a visit of inspection to the German schools in the interest of the Forum, explains a plan to free our public school system from politics, comparing our school management with that of Germans.

Besides these articles there are others of unusual interest. Thus this number of the Forum which begins the new era of its cheap price, without any change in the tone or quality of its articles, brings its readers sixteen timely diecussions by sixteen writers of authority and force at a price of about a cent and a half per article. BLOODY RIOTS. Rome, Dec. 11.

A dispatch received to-night from Giardenelli, gives details of a riot at Partenico, Sicily, on Saturday last. The mob of peasants who had protested against the milk tax wrecked the communal building and dragged on the ground- two cajinerrarwho attempted to summon the military. When the troops finally arrived they found at the head of the mob several women who carried aloft portraits of the king and queen and screamed: "Down with the taxes!" The officers in command of the troops appealed to the women to be quiet and called upon the 1 1 -a moD to disperse, but no heed was given to their words. Several shots were fired by the rioters before the troops received orders to shoot. After the first volley the mob retreated, carrying away several killed and wounded.

As soon as the troops were withdrawn the rioters gathered again, entered the rooms of the sheriff and killed him and his wife. The leaders cut the heads from both bodies, stuck them on poles and carriad them thus at the head of the mob through the town. Of the eight persons killed during the riots, four were shot dead by the soldiers and two were wounded so severely that they died within an hour. The other two on the death list were the sheriff and his wife. Ten persons who were wounded are still alive.

The majority of them will recover. In a case in the District Court of Shawnee county where the plaintiffs sues to recover on a promissory note the defense sets up the plea that by the action of the Congress of the United States at its several sessions held in 1893 by the repeal of the Sherman law it so decreased, limited and withdrew from the channels of trade a great proportion of the lawful money of the United States that the defendant is unable to comply with the terms and conditions of said note. And as the defendant neither aided or abetted Congress in this course he prays that the terms and conditions of said note be held in abeyance until Congress restores to the channels of trade the money withdrawn therefrom by the repeal of the Sherman law. The defense asks that they be repuired to pay only on said note until the Wilson bill is repealed and the supply of money be again restored to the channels of trade. And that Tom Reed, John Sherman, Dan Voorhees, G.

Cleveland and J. K. Hudson be made parties defendant and be required to show cause why they conspired together to decrease the volume of money and what they were paid by the creditor class of this country for enacting the terms and conditions of said conspiracy in law. There is plenty of room in this country yet. Texas alone will, within the next fifty years, furnish farms for hundreds of thousands of the present and the rising generation.

Appropos of the immensity of this state, the St. Louis Republic says: "If Malthus shonld turn up in Texas he would have no right to grumble if he were tarred, feathered and ridden on a rail to the state line. There is room there for millions more people. Of 25o counties there still 26 that have less than loo inhabitants each. There are 37 other counties, each of which contains less than l.ooo people.

There are only 81 coun ties in the state which the census count exceeds And yet Texas already has 13 Representatives in Congress and 15 electoral votes in the choice of the President and Vice-President of the United States. In 1828 when General Jackson was elected to his first term as President New York had 36 electoral votes. That is all New York has now. But in 1828 Texas was still a Mexican province and the battle of San Jacinto' was eight years in the future. When Texas becomes fairly well settled she will outvote New York two to one in Congress and in the election of Presidents to these United States." a of on of from the office two hours and a half when he returned to his office with 11 in cash, a wagon load of hay, fifteen bushels of corn and a barrel of turnips.

He has great faith no win the Winchester as a persuader. Duringrevival services at the Methodist Church in Americus one night last week, some miscreants attempted to burn the church by putting straw, kindling and corn cobs saturated with coal oil under the floor and setting fire to it. Some people say there is no such place as a hell and it may be so, bnt an act of this kind would seem to indicate the necessity of such a place. There as now and been a large amount of stefcaesss -among all classes and conditions of people which has in many cases proved fatal. La grippe.

pneumonia and fevers take hold of the aged and infirm, while and croup are making havoc among the children. There is no doubt but that a large amount of the sickness now prevailing might be avoided with proper care. During the session of the Chamber of Deputies at Paris, France, on Saturday afternoon, an anarchist who had secured admission to the right gallery, threw a bomb down into the midst of the as sembled deputies. The deadly missile exploded with a loud report, scattering pieces of iron and leaden slugs in every direction. From fifty to eighty persons were wounded, two of whom are sup posed to be fatally mangled.

We have received from John Picht, 73 Avenue New York City, a copy of Elements of Music," which represents a book on one page, being the pupil's first year's study. It contains all the rudiments, from the first lesson to all the major and minor scales, -chords, and key notes; how to commit signarures to memory; a dictionary; and a full-sized key-board, which shows position of all the Treble and Bass notes, on, below the staff. Price, 5 cents. The State Board of Railroad Assessors increased the taxes of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad Company over the taxes of last year, and now the legal department has decided that the company will not pay them on the ground of excessive valuation and unjust discrimination. This means litigation and lots of it as the Santa Fe and branches runs through seventy-one differ ent couuties in the state and suits will have to be instituted in every one of these counties.

A sudden change in the weather Mon day afternoon caused a fall in temperature of between forty and fifty degrees in a few hours time. Monday morning was warm and pleasant and the temperature rose all the fore part of the day-until noon when the mercury indicated 70 in the sun. Such sudden changes are very trying on many persons and it behooves every person to be cautious as severe atmospheric changes are liable to bring on the grip, colds, coughs, pneumonia and other kindred diseases. Mr. A.

Augustus Healy, a successful merchant of New York, and a special student of economic subject, makes a plea in the December Forum for immedi ate tariff reduction as a necessary means of improving the business situation. "In my opinion," he says, "the great and only danger is in delayed reduction of the tariff." Such a reduction immediatelv put into effect would enable manufac turers to resume business with definite knowledge of what they are to expect, and it would encourage the coming of foreign capital to our shores. Chairman Wilson, the Ways and Means Committee, speaking of the proposed tariff measure bearing his name says that as to to the charge of sectionalism against the bill, the best answer I can make is that it comes with equal vehemence, from both sides. Republican members of Congress, some of them even before they read the bill, de claimed against it as a raid upon nort hern industries to the interests of the south, while our southern friends are complaining that most of the raw materials put upon the free list are southern products and that they have beeu sacrificed to the interests of New England." Robert G. Ingersoll savs: "I do not say that death ends all, neither do I say that man is immortal.

I say that I do not know. To know is one thing, to be lieve is another, and to hope is still another. I hope for all good, for all joy for the children of men. All I can say about immortality is this: There was a time when 1 was not, after that I was, now I am, and it may be that it is no more wonderful that I shall continue forever now that I have a start than it was that I should begin. We love and those we love die, and we cling to the hope, to the wish that we may meet again.

Love was the first to dream of immortality, and as long as we love we shall hope." Dr. J. M. Rice, who recently returned from an European visit of inspection of schools, in the interest of the Forum, presents in the December number as one result of his study, the conclusion that the American school system would gain much if there were a method of limited state control, similar in a general way, but not in many of its details, to the German system. By this method, permanent educational experts might be kept in charge of our schools, and the demoralizing influence of politics withdrawn.

So long as we have a political school management, just so long are we sure to have schools conducted rather for politicians or teachers, than for children. The officers of the steamship Scandia arrived at Philadelphia from Hamburg a few days ago, and reported that during the voyage in the wildest storm the ship had ever been in, with high waves breaking over the ship in great volume, soap suds made and allowed to drift over the the ship's bow almost instantaneously broke the force of the seas ceased to smash over the sides, and the vessel soon lay comparatively easy. The officers were enthusiastic over thesuccess of the experiment. Experiments in this line have recently been made bv the Hydrographic Office with uniform suc cess. 1 he use of soap suds is not likely to entirely supersede oil, for the purpose ol soothing the seas, but soap is cheaper, occupies less room on the ship, and its suds lies heavier on the water than oil, so that it is likely to be generally adopted.

The Chicago Herald invites the attention of Congress to the fact that the tariff proteges here and there are closing or threatening to close their works, or re ducing or threatening to reduce wages. This is their way, says the Herald, of bringing pressure to bear against the Wilson bill. The best way to bring this sort of argument to an end is to get the bill into the hands of the President as quickly as the tariff reformers in 1846 got their bill into the hands of President Polk. It took them only a month and a half.

If this Congress would do as well the Wilson bill would be a law before the end of January and there would be no further use for the practical blue ruin argument. Fire losses in the United States and Canada for the entire year of 1890, according to the New York Commercial Bulletin, amounted to for 1891, $137,716,150, and for 1892 $132,704,700. But notwithstanding the efforts made through higher insur ance rates and otherwise to keep down the record, the eleveu months of 1893 alone show a total loss of $144,340,400. The full year will probably bring the losses up to the alarming total of $156, 000,000.

mind, certainly. But it is not the companies but the country which loses and the loss is absolute and past recovery. The estimate of the Wilson committee that the net reduction in the revenue that may follow from the adoption of their tariff bill will be $00,000,000 is, it must be borne in mind, based on the importa tions of the hscal year 1892, ending, that is, June 3o, of that year. This is neces sarily an extreme estimate of the loss of revenue. It gives full effect, of course, to all additions to the free list, but allows nothing for any increase in imports due to a reduction of rates.

As in many instances these reductions are considera ble upon goods very largely used, they cannot but stimulate imports, and to the extent that they do so the revenue will be greater than the estimate of the com mittee. Exactly what this increase will be cannot be foreseen, but it is sure to occur. Washington (D. Sentinel. On Saturday night last Mrs.

Fannie Reid Slusser, Superintendent of Public Instruction, had occasion to go from her father's residence to that of her brother on Everett avenue. She arrived at the corner of Fifth street and Everett avenue about 7:30 o'clock. When she turned up the avenue two young negroes who stood on the opposite corner immediately crossed the street and followed her overtaking her near the gate to her brother's residence when one of them ran against her and the other made a grab for. her muff. She screamed for help when the negroes ran away carrying her muff with them.

She had her money in a wallet in her pocket and they failed to secure it. The letter of Governor Le welling to the of 1'olice Uommissioners in regard to the non-enforcement of the vagrant act, is receiving a vast amount of criti cism from the press and people. There is one thing about it that cannot be gain said and that is that it is in the line of humanity. The idea of confining a man in a dungeon and putting him to work on a rock pile or in a chain gang simply because he has been unable to procure either money or work is simply barbarous and inhuman. The man who has nothing and is too lazy to help himself when opportunity offers should be made to earn his living, but, the man who is guilty ot no crime save poverty and who not only ready to work but willing and anxious to do so, should not be sub ject to the indignity of a prison cell when he is unable to procure work.

Fred Sorter, who shot and killed Enoch Link at Quindaro on the 30th of May, 1890, will have to go to the penitentiary unless his attorneys carries his case to the Supreme Court of the United States. He has had two trials in the District Court and the case has been before the Supreme Court two or three times. On the first trial the jury failed to agree. At the second trial he was found guilty of murder in the second degree and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. The Supreme Court then released him on bail pending a hearing before that tribunal.

When the case was finally heard the Supreme Court affirmed Judge Miller's decisions on the law points involved. His counsel then discovered that the journal entry fajed to show that he was present in court when the case was tried. The Attorney-General then asked to have the journal entry amended, the hearing of which motion was tried by Judge pro tem Maher, who sustained the motion and last week the Supreme Court affirmed Maher's decision Sorter has the satisfaction of knowing that his lawyers made a vigorous fight in his be- half and did everything that was possi- ble to do to secure his acquittal. bly filled at this latter meeting and it was called to order by Rev. J.

G. Dough erty. After an invocation by Rev. Stote the president made a brief talk, gav list of the lottery companies, gambling houses and poficy shops in the city with the names the propietors and their location. He read a letter addressed to iGrtTOwwIicagng.y,- -0 and the latter'a reply thereto." He also read a letter purporting: to have been written by a leading Populist of this city to the Governor, but as he declined to give the writer'a name it aroused the suspicion in some minds that no such letter had ever been sent the Governor.

Major Drought, Dr. Backus, Rev. Stote, Dr. Alderman and others made brief talks. After the mass meeting a citizens' league was organized for the purpose of aiding the officers in the enforcement of all criminal laws.

The following resolution was offered by the Rev. Dr. Dougherty, which after some discussion was adopted The people of Kansas City. Kansas. In mass meeting assembled, to consider the question of lotteries, or pretended lotteries, which have sent out from Here circulars and have agents in many states, deem it their dnty to inform the people of all the states that not one of these lotteries is or can be authorized by law to do business in the state of Kansas, since the constitution of onr state expressly prohibits lotteries and the Bale of lottery tickets; that this city has passed a stringent ordinance forhiddinir the drawinsr of lotteries, the sending out of lottery circulars or tickets, or the renting of rooms for such purposes; that the Governor of the state has given orders that they be immediatel suDoressed: that the county attorney is proceeding to obtain injunctions against all of them, subjecting them to a summary process for contempt of court should they attempt to further pursue their business.

The business of these lotteries consequently can be conducted only in a secret manner, and those who buy their tickets can have no guarantee that their drawings are ever held. We deem it our duty as honest citizens to publish and declare these facts that the general public may no longer be duped by the false pretenses of their lying advertisements. We respectfully urge that the press of the nation give currency to these facts and so help us to put a stop to this robbery of many persons. When the meeting adjourned it ad journed to meet at some public hall, notice of time and place to be given by the president. AN AGED CITIZEN DEAD.
