One day McClaughry was sitting In his office at Just, -about the time the men were being marched back to their cells from work. , He was alone.- There was a sound behind hint. and. whirling round, he saw a convict who had pass ed the guard in some way creeping to ward him with an ugly looking iron bar In his hand. .'Don't you stir!' the man whisper ed.

Mr. Win. E. Curtis, writing to the ; Chi- cago tcecordj writes as follows; ; ;; "The Democrats In the senate are try. ing to bring out the fact that the -United States purchased the Philliooifle Islands under pressure from Great Britain ia or der that they might not fall into the hands of Germany. This subject has been discussed at great length' in execu tive session under the seal; of confidence; so that the statements made cannot be used as campaign capital to offend the Irish and the German vote, . Therefore the opponents of the administration are offering a series of resolutions of Inquiry adroitly worded to excite suspicion and keep uo the controversy that sooner or later they may smoke out some great secret, it is claimed that the peace com missioners went to t Pans- nreoared to demand from Spain only oney island for a naval station soon after their ar- rival it was disclosed that Snain wm de termined to have the hide go with -V the tail and restore its repleted . treasury by selling the whole archipelago.

And the prospects are for still higher prices. .'xne paper trust is only a little more rapacious than the other trusts; It has an absolute mononolv. controlling all the largest plants in the United States and having a claim on most of the tim ber from which wood pulp is made. They, therefore, can fix the prices at whatever they think' the consumer , "can stand, and the consumer . will have to pay thosa prices, because there is no one else from whom he can buy. we miirht secure relief from this mo nopoly by foreign competition, if it were not for the fact that the Republican tar iff law places a high tariff on paper and all paper products, thus erecting a wall arouna the paper trust which is impreg nable. :..-. v Havemeyer, himself the head of a ereat trust, said: ."The protective tariff is the motner ot trusts." . The Republican party claims to be the father of the protective tariff, and it is welcome to the distinction.-" ' The trusts are the offspring of the Re publican party, and we can expect no relief from them while that party is in power.

A Bandit's Victim Tells Bow It Feels to Bo Hold Up. ;v "I happen to know bow It feels to be held tip,"; said a gentleman who now occupies a position of prominence In le cal railroad circles. "I acquired my experience as a passenger In a stage coach about six miles from Tombstone, A.

' After that we were ordered back, and the chief bandit told the driver to go ahead. "As far as I know, the robbers were never caught, but what especially 1m pressed me about the episode was the reluctance of any of our party to take the initiative, I was certain the slight est resistance would be successful, but 1 realized also that the man who made the first move had an excellent Chance of being killed, and t suppose all the others felt the same way.- Anyhow, It happened exactly as I have narrated it, During the year I lived in Arizona there were eight or nine bold ups cn the same road, and in no Instance was there any resistance whatever.
