' A CONFESSION OP WEAKNESS.
ine Kepubhcan Senators, after
farther consideration, have resolved
to prepare a full Tariff bill and pass
it if they can. If is proposed to
make a reduction of from $ 65,000,000
to $80,000,000. Lesson first: Repub
lican Senators have learned some
thing since' the Free jWhiskey plank
was adopted . Lesson second : They
see that the country is bitterly op
posed to the present Protection
Tariff of $47.10 upon every $100 of
f . T ... I .r.
imports. ije6son tnira: rney see
how foolish they will be if they fol
low the lead of the blind leaders at
Chicago who bellowed for more High
iann. wesson iounn: -rney are
afraid of the issue as it now goes be
fore the country, and they are ma
noeuvring to break its force! . They
will oonsume much time, no doubt,
in tbe meantime keeping up a great
show of promise. When the mouse
is Drougnt lortn it will; be in
the shape of something like
the Randall abortion, in all
probability an attempt to
down the surplus by reducing
cut
; or
abolishing the $45,000,000 of revenue
derived from suear the repeal! of
tobacco tax, another $20,000,000,
and some other light tinkering.
Wo prophesy now that when
their bill is reported it will'givono
a nl i -I vst m nmn waliAf r 1 wv r nana
that the necessaries of life will be
still burdened by a great tax;. Keep
this and '.see if it is not fulfilled.
But note this Tho very fact that
Republican Senators have resolved
- i
to report a Tariff bill is clear proof
that they are afraid of tbe voice of
the people. To begin to work on a
Tariff bill at the beginning of Au
gust, after the Congress has been in
session eight monthp, and in the face
of their own platform at Chicago
that favored a positive increase of
Tariff rates, is the plainest confession
possible that tbe Democratic position
is very strong and their present posi
tion is very weak. j j
DBFECnOHJN THE, NORTHWEST.
A Minnesota paper sent out inqui
ries in every direotion to ascertain
what leading Republicans thought
of the political situation. The re
plies showed that in Representative
Knute Nelson's District there was a
divided feeling for : Tariff reform
among Scandinavians. Many voting
heretofore with the Republicans
will support Cleveland. The Pro
hibitionists are very active and are
gaining many adherents; among the
Swedes. We copy: . j
"Norwegian ministers, as a rule, are
third-party men, and are having great in
fluence over their flocks. At Jf&rmington
interviews with many of the leading Scan
dinavians of the county show that they are
nearly alt for tariff reform, or a marked re
duction of the present tariff, while some
openly declare for free trade. As a class
they are not pleased with the tariff plank
in the Republican platform. There will
be a lareo defection of votes on this ac
count." .
This is enoonraging. This division
of sentiment is all through the Scan
dinavian population. Mr. Listroe, a
Republican leader at Rochester, eys
of the people in his town: - :
"All are In favor of a reduction of the
tariff-hut verv few are what may be termed
free traders. The Prohibitionists find but
few followers among them."
, Judge Frankberg, at Fergus Falls,
gives the same account. They all
favor Tariff Tevieion, and they are
looking to their party to do it. The
editor of the UgeUad at Fergus Falls
says:
The platform certainly does not meet
with our ideas. Many well known Scandi
navians, influential or otherwise, will vote
for Cleveland on account or tne larin. x
m not a hnllfivor in tho idea of orotection.
I advocate temperance in my paper, but I
don't hear of anv creat eains beine made
by the third party from our ranks." -
E, E. Boen, a brother of the sec
retary of the State Alliance, thinks
that the Scandinavians will vote for
Cleveland to a considerable extent
on account qf the Tariff, f
These are samples. That there is
defection in the Republican party
in the Northwest is beyond all ques
tion, and it is growing. is no
confined to one State, but ramifies
many States. That profane and con
temptuous fling of the Republican
business man at Evansville, Indiana,
. w. r m.
published in yesterday's Stab, re
flected the situation in that State.
Said he, "If it were not for the fool
nn-inrfir-i
laboring man and the d d prohi-
bitionists I think we could carry the
State for Harrison and Morton, but
with these two classes of idiots in
the way I am fearful we will lose
Indiana." Judge Russell should write
to that profane Radioal for referring
so bitterly to his; friends, the Prohi
bitionists. The reference to thefool
laboring man" j is characteristic
of Radicalism and is in keeping with
the Baying of Harrison that a cheap
coat indicated a sorry man or words
to that effect. "The fool laboring
man" expresses the! feeling of the
Money Devil, the1 Monopolist and the
Tools. He is to be used, but there ia
no sympathy with him or regard for
him. He is with this class no better
than the "dumb driven cattle."
AN ENGLISH . PICTURE OR ftOYI.
LANCES.
We were amused over a sketch of
Gen. Boulanger in the London Spec
tator. It seems that Mrs. Crawford.
the clever newspaper correspondent
who resides in Paris, has been inter
viewing and; describing "the some
what noted Frenchman. The Spec
tator takes her sketch as a basis for
a study of the General. It concludes
that he is "a kind
of brummagem
Henri Qaartre."!
That is he is a
somewhat metal
ic
or inferior rep
resentation of France's favorite Hen
ry the Fourth (Henry of Navarre.)
Gen. Farre Baid of him:
I bee your pardon. It's not feather.
neaaeancss, us nerve: et u en a tneme
enormement. I don't see tbe harm in that.
Boulaogrr is a Gascon du Nord; being my
self us Gascon du Midi. I'm able to under
stand him. He has a light heart but a cool
head, and I think I him rather knowing
(avise) man rasn. i t
lhe Bum of the matter is as we
gather the opiuion of the Spectator,
Boulanger is)a crafty, designing,good
natured fellow, boastful, vain, fond
of display and 1 pomp, loving beauti
i - ii z
ful horses and beautiful Women, with
out high conviotions, full of courage,
a 'Rood soldier.' quick to see the evi
dences of popularity and calm under
attack, willing to be used by Gam
betta, Bonapartists Radicals or any
body. The Spectator says:
'Mrs. Crawford's portrait, tbouch im
perfect and even blurred, and singularly
dencient in intellectual appreciation or de
preciation, does explain a little the French
selection ot Uencrtl Boulanger as an IdoL
Henri CJuatre is always the popular hero in
France. To Englishmen he seems a very
imperfect hero, a sensualist and a despot, a
man of little faith and no fidelity, who gave
up his religion to win a crown, and was in
many ways the Bour&on family embodied ;
but he touches the French heart, his daring
ana his successes, ms vices ana hu kindli
ness, his love of snow, and his thought for
the common folk, all alike helping to make
him acceptable, while his craft is taken as
wisdom ana hu religious indifference as
extreme good ; sense. General Boulanger
has something of Henry in him, especially
as to externals, and is taken by his fellow-
countrymen, we fancy, to have much
mote." !
From what we have been able to
gather from other sources we would
take Boulanger to be a miniature
edition of Henry the Fourth, if
bearing any resemblance at all. He
may have his com age and dash, bnt
the French ! King had great quali
i . -
ties ! mingled with great vices.
Boulanger's brief career seems about
ended. There iB no Ivry or purple
robe or crown for him.
There is a remarkably candid man
in Texas J. ivearDy. ue was
nominated for Chief Justice by the
Texas Union Labor State Conven
tion. He declined, giving -several
reason. We quote a part of his
pointed and very ! uncommon letter.
He says:
''Again, I feel
that a
man whose early
life has been spent upon the hustings in
political debate ought not to aspire to a
Judgeship, upon whose knowledge and rev
erential respect ior tne law aepenas tne sta
bility of free government ana an tne prop
erty values of the State of Texas. Pro
found learning, deep thought, careful in
vestigation, patiences and impartiality are
Qualities to bo expected of a judge. But
none of these are; nurtured by the methods
of politick! science which prevail in this
country." ' ! I -
Courtlandt Palmer, of New Yoik,
was an infidel, ( and reoently died.
Ingersoll preached his funeral. On
his death bed Palmer said: .
"The general impression is that a Free
thinker is afraid or deatn. una ana au oi
you can tell the whole world that you have
seen one die without the least fear of a
hareafter." j j j I
Courtlandt had no doubt taken so
much of Bob's elixir of opium that
stupifies the conscience and makes
right appear wrong or vice versa,
that he died without fear. He may
have been very game like a cock and
died as one. ! . !
Cox, of New 1 York, Wilson, of
West Virginia, and Breckenridge, of
Kentuoky, alt made able and impor
tant speeches on the Tariff in the
great debatei Of .Wilson's, 76,000
copies have been distributed; of
Cox's, 50,000, and large quantities of
Breckenndge's. The most interest
ing speech id the whole debate was
Cox's. You; can buy the leading
speeches all bound together.
Farcical! Two such Protection
ists as Howell and Grady, of that
cantankerous Protection sheet, the
Atlanta Constitution, making intro
ductory speeches in a Tariff reform
meeting at which Hon. Roger- Q.
Mills was to make a Tariff speech.
That is very j Shermanish.
The Mills bill reduces the tobacco
tax $20,000,000, dutiable goods near
ly $31,000,000, and puts on the free
list $19,758,845.00 that .now yield

who read the Star: v . ;
Some of our farmers are complain
ing of the ravages of the chinch bugs,
and say that this pest has been grow
ing more troublesome each year. The
bug is more numerous now, they say,
tban ever known in this section.
Esquire S. H. Hilton savs. the cause
for this increase in the number of the
chinch bug is to be explained in the
war that has been made on the part
ridge. "Go to any farm and catch
a partridge now," he says, "and
you will find its craw packed
lull of cnincn bugs." .Esquire Hilton
says that a covey of partridges will
keep a cornfield clear of these pests.
Where there are no partridges there
are plenty of bugs. Ravages are
made in the ranks of the birds every
winter by the gunners, but this is as
nothing compared to the way in
which they are trapped or netted,
when whole covies are wiped out at
a time. Gunners never entirely kill
out a covey, always leaving some for
seed. Again, the nest robber is a
great foe to the birds. Just for the
simple sake of savins his crops from
the ravages I of the chinch bug.
Esquire Hilton - says that he never
permits one of his birds to be trap
ped, or a nest to be robbed. With
plenty of birds on his farm he has no
fears of being injured by the chinch
bug. This is something farmers
ought to think over.

"Inspector General Cameron paid
them the high compliment of saying

courtesies they exceeded every-com-pany
in camp, and that they won the
reputation of being the most courte
ous and gentlemanly company in

The members of the Governor's
Guard are good soldiers and are cour
teous and gentlemanly in their bear
ing; but they are too modest to claim
superiority in that respect to every
other of the twenty-seven companies.
that were in camp- Still, the Inspectors-General
is entitled to an opinion
on this question.

Tariff Rleaatire in tbe Senate, j : j
" Wabbzhgton, July 26. The President
left here at 11 o'clock this mornings by the
Pennsylvania railroad for New York. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland, Mrsj
Folsom and Col. Lamont, and it is stated
that he contemplates a salt water fishing
excursion. -
, The outlook for a greatly protracted sea
sion in consequence of last (night's Re
publican conference decision, is not so
threatening as appear j to be generally sup
posed. ' The tariff bill of 1883 .was under
discussion in the Senate with intermissions
for other business less than six ' weeks.
While there is material in the present situa
tion for an almost endless . debate,
there is also ' a promise that the
extreme of possibility will not be
tested at the end of eight months of the
continuous session. It is thought that the
committee can complete its bill and its re
port within a-week or ten days, and the
Senate will then probably begin its sessions
at 11 o'clock ; and sit seven hours daily,
with evening sessions in addition as the
-debate ? proceeds. .' The certainty of . the
result, and the difficulty of keeping a
quorum of the House together with little
of importance to do after -appropriation
bills shall have been disposed of, and more
than all else the increasing heat, give rise
to a hope that six or seven weeks hence (if
not sooner), the present session, will find its
record made up, . and the work, done.
Moreover, nineteen formal tariff speeches,
by exact count, have already been deliver
ed in the Senate
Washihgtoh. July 26. The President
to-day vetoed the act granting the right of
way to the Fort Smith, Paris & Dardenelle
Railway Co. , to construct and operate a
railroad, telegraph and telephone line from
Fort Smith, Ark., through Indian Terri
tory to or near Baxter .Springs, Kansas.
His message is of considerable length and
he finds many and serious objections to the
bill.
The tariff sub-committee is striving to
keep the details of its bill a secret, and is
measurably bucccssiui iqus iar. (senators
of course have access to it, but they have
not generally availed themselves of the
privilege. While the schedules of the new
bill are practically in shape they are still
subject to revision and change in sub-committee.
The fnll list now contains between
sixty and seventy new articles. ' i
Mr. Randall still continues to gain
strength, and yesterday for the first time
since he was suddenly seized with hemor
rhages, nearly three weeks ago, he got out
of bed and walked around the room for a
few minulCB.
Washington, July 27. The House
Committee ou Manufactures to-day began
the investigation of the so-called whiskey
trust. J. M. Atherton, of Louisville, presi
dent, was the first witness. : His company
was not engaged in distilling whiskey, but
in handling the whiskey of a number of
firms who do a distilling business in their
own names. Witness said that most of the
lanze distillers of fine Kentucky whiskey
entered into an agreement by which they
bound themselves to produce no whiskey
in the fiscal year of 1838. Some few large
firms refused to sign tbe agreement, and
there were about 150 small distillers who
were not asked to sign. The agreement grew
out of the fact that there had been a large
over-production of whiskey which could
not be consumed in this country, and was
exported to Europe to find ; a market, but
no buyers having been found much of that
whiskey was coming back. In 1883-'84
there were about seven million gallons pro
duced each year; in 18S5 about ten millions,
and in 1886 about sixteen millions, and in
1887 about the same quantity. In order ito
protect owners of this whiskey from the
effects. of over-production an agreement! to
suspend operations from July 1, 1887,! to
Julv 1. 1888. was entered into. This
agreement was not in the nature of a
trust; there was no consolidation I of
property or merging - of interests.
The only other organization which the
witness knew of having ever existed in the
Kentucky whiskey trade was the Kentucky
Distillers' Association, formed about 1879.
The object of this Association was the
consideration of proposed changes in tbe
internal revenue laws and technical trade
affairs. It bad nothing whatever to I do
with the production, and the only time the
Association took any interest in politics
was when, after there had been a large
accumulation of whiskey, it attempted to
get the bonded period extended.
Washington. July 23. The House

that since the arrest of Hronek, the chief

ant discovery by working upon the fears of
Hronek. Surprisingly little dynamite was
found at Hronek'a house at the time
of his arrest, the ; bulk of the contraband

stages of completion. The police, how
ever, were convinced that he had
access to plenty of dynamite, and when the
subject was properly presented to Mrs.
Hronek she led the way td the basement of
the building, in which;Sevic's shop is, and
to the delight of the officers, who allowed
her to do the searching, returned to tbe
open air with a market basket full of half
pound sticks of the stuff. There were
fully ten pounds of it, enough to have
blown the whole' neighborhood skyward.
It is said the testimony before the grand

Berlin, July 28. The movements of
Emperor i William and his party after their
visit to Copenhagen are timed so that they
will arrive at Kiel on Monday next. On
Tuesday his Majesty will hold a naval re
view, the leading feature of the manoeuvre
being a test of the powers of torpedo boats.
Tbe interview between Emperor. William
and King Christian of Denmark has special
importance as associated with the settle
ment of the family question connected with
tbe Bulgarian throne- The Czar appears
to have given his assent to the creation of a
Bulgarian monarch, with either Prince
Waldemir, the : youngest son of King
Christian, or the Duke of Camber
land, on the ! throne. The Duke of
Cumberland has decisively rejected
the offer, which was made to him
through Bismarck. In bis note refuting to
accept the crown he declares; tbat the pro
posal is an insult to him, as the legitimate
King of Hanover, and expresses tbe hope
that he is destined to see the King of Prus
sia reduced to his proper level.
King Christian of Denmark advises
Prince Waldemar to accept the throne of
Bulgaria if the entente between the Euro
pean powers ia perfect. 1
King George of Greece, tho brother of
'Prince Waldemar, opposes his candidature,
important events are certain; to take place
if Greece and Bulgaria come into conflict.
The Emptror Wilhelm, before returning
to Potsdam, will go to Friedrichsrnhe to
confer with Bismarck. j
Advices from Stockholm say that Em
peror William was delishted with his re
ception in that place, which was even more
spontaneous than the reception at St. Pe
tersburg. I
The Stockholm Journal of to day, the
Dazeus-Nichster, dwells upon the pleasant
impression which the Emperor left by
his frank and unrestrained manner.
It considers his visit of the greatest impor
tance in assisting the progress of the peace
ful policy, which must henceforth become
security for tbe welfare of minor European
nations. i
The National Zeitung, in a semi-official
article, declares that the Imperial visit to
Stockholm and Copenhagen is a pledge for
there-establishment of friendly relations
by Germany with tbe Scandinavian races,
and adds : "The Prussian press and peo
ple trust that the result will show the
French Revanchists the worth of the Re
vanchist spirit. If Denmark can forge
Schleswig-Holstein, France ought to learn
to reconcile ; herself to the loss of Alsace
Lorraine." j
With reference to Prince Ferdinand it
has been decided that he shall be assisted to
maintain his position in Bulgaria. I Last
evening's Bwoboda, the official organ of the
Sofia Government, declares that the abdi
cation of Prince Ferdinand does not de
pend upon the will of any power whatever;
that he was raised to the throne by the Bul
garian nation,and will remain as long as he
preserves the affection and confidence of
the people.
The Orleans family has held a council at
Coburg to consider the situation. Princess
Clementine, the mother of Prince Ferdi
nand, the Duke of Montpensier and others
were present.
The Russian government distrusts more
than ever Bismarck's diplomacy with re
ference to Bulgaria. The Moscow Gazette
and the Strict are no longer content with
demanding the deposition of Prince Ferdi
nand from the throne of Bulgaria as a
guarantee of Germany's good faith, but
demand that Bismarck be first dismissed.
It is notable, as illustrating how little the
effect of Emperor William's visit to St.
Petersburg modifies the anti-German
hostility seen in the articles of the Pan
Slavist press.

S. Elmer, murdered Miss Mollie Kerbell
Wednesday night, under circumstances of
peculiar atrocity. She was a domestic in
the service of the sheriff, and had been en

their supper, when Elmer, who boarded in
the house, asked her if she intended going
out that evening, one repnea mat fine

shot her, causing instant death. He had
not been paying her attention, and no
cause ia known for his act. A masked mob
of one hundred determined men overpow
ered sheriff Miller and his deputy and took
the murderer out and hanged him. The
mob was well organized and was headed by
resolute men from Wahpeton and Brecken
ridge. The sheriff offered all the" physical
resistance his 260 pounds afforded, "but did
not attempt to shoot or fight, because the
mob were all his friends and he said the
life of the murderer was not worth the life
of a friend. After hanging, the mob quietly
dispersed, and hundreds of men and women
who witnessed the hanging went borne
satisfied. Elmer said he did not know why
he killed the girl and was sorry he had
done so. When asked if he wanted to
pray, he said "no."

In English Hands.
Bv Telegraph to tbe Hornmc Star.
Washington, July 27. In response to
a Senate resolution calling upon him for
evidence in the Treasury Department, re
lating to property of the United Slates, or
to which the United States has a valid
claim,! which is held in adverse possession,
the Secretary of the Treasury to-day trans
mitted to the Senate reports of the Solicitor
of tba Treasury and Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue on the subject, and also re
ports of H. B Littlepage, lately employed
as an agent of the Treasury Depart
ment.) t '
The! Acting Solicitor of the Treasury, in
bis report, says tbera is no personal prop
erty in charge of j his office,- but it has been
suggested tbat there is personal property
now held in adverse possession to which
tho United States haa vested claim If this
be true it would probably be advisable to
recommend an - appropriation for its de
cision and recovery.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
says the only property in charge of his
office is real estate acquired under the in
ternal revenue law. He can furnish snch
statement, but says it will take some time,
and as he is doubtful whether the object
of tbe resolution was to obtain such state
ment.; he asks for more definite instruc
tions I . f -
According to a letter from Littlepage to
the Solicitor of tbe Treasury, dated Octo
ber 19, 1887, it seems that he was employ
ed "to assist ia the prevention and detec
tion of frauds upon the customs revenue."
He says: ''After my several conversations
with you, I infer that my special assign
ment will be to recover such properties be
longing to the late Confederate States as
have i been fraudulently or improperly
diverted or concealed." In concluding
he says, "Above all, I desire that my
special assignment shall be kept a pro
found secret." In a letter dated Novem
ber 17, 1887, Littlepage says he went to his
home in King William county, .Virginia,
to examine his old Confederate papers,
made and received while in Europe under
orders of the then Confederate States go
vernment, to obtain accjrate data. He
says he found tbat in the winter of 1864
he was ordered to the Confederate ship
Texas, alias "Pampeiro." This vessel was
built at Glasgow as a No. 1 sloop of war,
and was to have received her armament
and equipment while lying off the coast of
England, by another vessel. Captain
Henry Sinclair, of the Confederate States
Navy, superintended tha construction
of the vessel, j her cost bting $1,400,
.000, j all of which was fully . paid
by the Confederate government. 1 The
vessel, he says, started to sea,' but,
having been reported as a Confederate
cruiser, was seized; Captain Binclair, rath
er than carry her tkrough the courts, se
cured her release by guaranteeing that she
should not go into the hands of the Con
federacy until they should be entitled to
have: her. He Ij then chartered her, and
when, a few months after tbe Confederacy
collapsed, she wassailing under the same
charter. He adds that this vessel was fully
paid for by the Confederate government,
and ; should belong to the United States.
She is still valuable, and is now trading be
tween Edinburgh and Copenhagen. He
adds that tbero are several other Clyde
built steamers, constructed by tbe Confed
erate government, similarly disposed of by
their agents or captains, which shquld now
belong to the United States. There were
also two powerful rams built by Laird &
Co., on the Mersey, ostensibly for the Chi
nese government, but inspected and tested,
by Confederate officers. They were, he
says, seized by the British authorities and
were finally disposed of by Confederate
agents in charge, and are now in j the
British navy, having recently been seen
by Admiral Luce, at Bermuda, flying
British flags. j i
' Mr. Littlepage also speaks of certain
poweaful Clyde built steamers and rams
built in France for the Confederate govern
ment, and also states that parties wbo re
cently visited Capt. Lincoln's house, found
that its linen, crockery, cutlet y, etc., bore
the letters, "C. S. N.," which articles are
supposed to have come from the ship Texas.
He adds that two new built Clyde steamers.
the City of Petersburg" and "Old Domin
ion,1" which were built for the Confederate
government, and paid for by it, are now
running between Liverpool and Dublin.
He adds: 'I beg to file an itemized state
ment of Confederate properties unrecovered
by the United States government, but which
might have been recovered had proper steps
been taken. I believe that the large amount
of property described may yet be recovered,
although so many years have elapsed."
The statement here referred to enume
rates property of various kinds (including
cash), amounting in value to thirty millions
of dollars, most of which is in English
bands. He estimates that there are six mil
lions worth of unrecovered property in the
United States,! not including the value of
many millions of dollars worth of cotton,
belonging to the Confederate government.

cattle which they were trying to buy.
While taking dinner deputy sheriff Short,
a ! Woodsdale man, accompanied by five
other Woodsdale men, rode up to tbe par

had a warrant for " his arrest. Robinson
said he would go a short distance from
camp, leaving Cook and tbe ladies behind,
and then give his enemies a chance to take
him . He did so, and on reaching a con
venient spot both parties opened fire, with
the result that four Woodsdale men turned
up their toes. The other two fled and Ro
binson escaped without a scratch. Cook
hastened to Hugaton and save an alarm,
and soon an armed party went to their as
