a large number of tifelr fellow-citizens

rtriTTNO down lawlessness.
The dispatches yesterday brought in
formation of another train robbery lu
the Indian Territory., *11113 robbery
was somewhat remarkablo by reason
of tho faot that though the train was
heavily guarded by United States mar
shals, the lajtiqf sat quietly la tho'.r
seats and permitted themselves to bo
robbed along with tho other passen
gers. Their weapons were absolutely
useless, and It wusdemointratedagaln,
•* It but been many times before, that
uadisoipHned- men, however aspable
individually of making & strong de
fense, cannot be depended nju-u to act
In times of emergency like thl*. Tho
want of a single will controlling all Is
s fatal lack under such olnxunstanoes.
It Is not strange, therefore, that the
People In tho regtOo Infested by the
tra'n robber*, or rather by tho gaug
of dsaperedom who make train robbing
their principal means of gaining" a 11 re-
W-ood. should appeal to the ‘United
Shits* govsrnment for tho aid of fed
eral troop*. A#the dispatches say. It U
probable that there are aarne legal dlffl-
oultles In the way, but these should bo
remedied ns soon ts possible and the
reign of terror Inaugurated by tho Dal
ton gang and now being kept up by
the- Cook gang brought to an epd.
la Intoter.ibln •That peaceful people
should bo completely at the, mercy of
these desperadoes whenever they ven
ture from their homes. That tbs ordi
nary citizen has no cSsne# whatever
In a contest with men Is indicated by
tho conduct of two of three robbers
who raided a little town in Kansas a
few days ago. They were mroomful
in robbing the bank In that little town,
but as they rode away the cashier suc
ceeded in wounding ono of tho three
men seriously. They dashed on, how
ever. together, and a mi's away the
wounded man found himself too weak
to longer sit in hl» saddle. When this
fact was discovered bis companions,
without hesitation, drew their pistol*
ond riddled hi* body with bullets.
They left him dead In the road, be
cause If No had fallen, wounded only,
Into tho hand* of tho Jaw officers, he
might have became a witness who
would convict Ms companions. They
shot him to death to prevent him from
becoming such « witness. They did
not regard him as a friend, but only us
a companion In .crime. It Is a welt
known fact that among a pack of
wolves, If ono become* wounded the
others tarn and destroy him. They
are less cruel than these desperadoes
of the West
During many centuries brigandage
waa a profession in Italy and other
countries at sou them Europe. It may
bo said that during that time a code
of laws, or customs, was developed
among these enemies of sooiety, sad
tho principle at the bottom of all these
laws was that ktndnco*. mercy, nor any
generous Impulse should protect
man, whether a member of tho com
pany or not, whoso life threatened tho
safety of bis companions. The brig
ands' hands were not only against the
peaceful people of tha world, but
agULDet each other. Tho same princi
ple hue been established among our
desperate robbers. In Italy so perfect
was tho discipline of the brlgumts, so
complete their system of terrorism,
that all effort* to break thorn down
failed until tho guieral government
practically declared war upon them
and sent armies Into the Held. They
were simply overwhelmed. They
fought at groat ad ventage. They had
tho sympathy of the people among
whom they lived. They knew all the
secret posses of the mountains. To a
large extent, they were the people of
tho land. But the army anally over
came them because It was overwhelm
ing In numbers aud finally adopted a
coda of conduct almost as cruel as
that by wh eb the brigands themselves
were governed. The drum bead court
martial waa formality enough to Just
ify tho shooting of a man suspected of
bang a brigand. The most summary
methods .were used. It on me to puss,
so thorough were the t methods em
ployed and so cruel, that It became
known that mere suspicion of being a
brigand was enough to insure that the
man suspected would suffer at least a
long term of Imprisonment.
Wo do not wum any methods of this
kind tn this country. We refer to
them only to show what becomes nec
essary whon crimes such as thoso
of tho Kansas dcsperidoeui are jw-r-
mlttcd to go out unchecked far many
years. Milder measures will now bo
eufilclonr. It is only necessary to make
some show of force. Oar robbers op-
ornto In a community thoroughly hoi-
tilo to thorn, "Tholr chauoes of escape
aro for less than thoso enjoyed by the
bahikte dfltaly. All that Is necessary
la for a well-armed and disciplined
forpo, operating vystomattcally, to un
dertake tho work of exterminating tho
men who defy the laws and undertake
<o grow rich In the profession of train
robbing.
MB, WILSON ON THE RESULT.
In a letter to tbo Now York Press,
Congressman Wilson says:
''Undoubtedly Uioro were local influ-
encss, aa there wore Individual candldu-
else and factional flrhts, that contributed
to and emphasised tho central result; but
It must lb* admitted that there wen
strong farete, everywhere : -crattve, that
really shopa] and brought about that re-
eulL And the greatest of all these forces
was th* severe Industrial depression that
for a year or more past has hardened the
lot end made anxious tha Uvea of a targe
section of of our people, itard timet is
an enemy before which no political party
In America, has ever been able to make a
euecesaful stand whan In power. The
grret but empty Whig victory In 1JW, the
Democratic triumphs In 1*74. ItTt, jtg and
ovta In Utt, were either brought about
or materially al-Ud by the financial had
industrial suffering of the people.
"TWe la. and perhaps always will be, s
weak point In popular government. When
liboc 1* out of employment, when farm
products are low, when our financial eye-
tem Is disorganised, the wisest admlnts-
tretkm of government and the moot whole-
eomc taws do not avail to save a party
from temporary and dl.wrtroua overthrow.
The opposition, of whatever name, always
sotsee eagerly upon popular discontent and
masers it successfully and with tremen
dous effect against the parties tn control
of government.
“I do not accept th* view of the New
York preeo that tariff reform has suffered
•a. defeat.' because I hare not wnywhere
found Republican candidates advocating
» repeal of the new law. They have de
nounced It In general, and declaimed
•gainst scene rates which they deemed
locally objectionable, hut nowherepreeret-
ed an affirmative platform demanding its
repeal and a return to prior conditions.
In tariff reform ag in reforms generally.
meks x substantial breach In tbs protec.
ttve system, the momentum of the first
reform and Its visible benefits would car
ry with them ths gradual overthrow of
the entire system, without any great agi
tation such as must precede and mark
a first victory, and without th* turmoil
and uncertainty which array against such
a movement that part of the burinest
community wbioh dreads nothing so much
as a change."
We do not doubt fhac Mr. Wilson
is entirely right. If tha Republican*
were In control of every branch of the
government, we do not beitoTO that
they would venture to re-enact a Mc
Kinley law. At the most, they would
make a few changes here'and there,
correct errors, as It were. In the Wilson-
Gortuan bill; and In doing this we be
lieve they would be careful to let the
country know that they were merely
correcting error* and did not Intend to
enter upon any radical tariff change*.
Not a single Republican candidate that
we know of In the late campaign, un
dor circumstances calculated to make
a Republican candidate very bold, over
ventured to say that Ko was in favor
of any revision of the tariff In an up
ward direction. All of them were care
ful to speak in general terms, t«. de
nounce free' trade, to denounce ag.ta-
tlou of the tariff.question awl to praise
protection. But they did not allow
the people to get hold of tho Idea that
If the Republican party was entrusted
with power again it would repeal or
greatly modify the existing tariff.
If the country becomes prosperous
under the existing law, as we do not
doubt first It will, the Republican* w.ll
undertake to convince tho country that
that prosperity Is duo to Republican
party-that it la in spite of
the reduction of the tariff, But they
will be undertaking a very difficult
task. More admmistratiou of a law
which, very largely reduces protection
will not give that law tho effect of a
real protective measure of the McKin
ley kind. As Mr. Wilson says, tho
first step hi the most difficult. When
the people see that a large reduction
of duty does not result In closing
American factories, does not reduce
American wages, but, on the contrary.
Increases the volume of our production
and therefore Increases the demand for
Labor, -they will know that the dlro
propbeo.es of disaster which tho Re
publicans madu In order to prevent
reduction were false, and tbey will be
willing to consider calmly tho propriety
of further reductions when the proper
time has come. Tha now tariff law Is
not what the party expected and not
what It ought to be, but, In operation,
It will sdrvo at least the good purpose
of showing that tariff reduction is quite
compatible with national prosperity.
MR. GOCtTPBRS’ REASONING.
Mr. Samuel Compere,- president of
the Federation of Labof, sent the fol
lowing telegram to President Cleveland
when tho result otf the eleotlon became
known:
"Grover Cleveland, Washington, D. C.'
Without much concert of effort by organ
ized labor, tho people have answered at

tional and unwarrantable uso of tho mill.
t»ry power to crush taBor. Though the
change may benefit us little, the rebuk’t
win, nevertheless, bo appreciated and re
membered. Samuel Gompers.
Mr. Gompers raisons about ns cor
rectly as the extreme free silver men.
They say that the country rebuked tho
Democratic party for not giving It free
coinage, by putting In power a party
which It more distinctly opposed
free coinage than la the Democratic
party.
Mr. Gompers, In his turn, says that
the country rebuked Mr. Cleveland for
sending federal troops to Chicago by
putting In power a party, one of whose
onr&nal -principles Is that the federal
government has tho right to send
its troops wherever It wishes to;
that state lines exist only for eon-
venienco In adminletration, and do not
separato sovereign states.
Wo cannot exactly understand how
the people qould have undo such a
mistake In oltbcr ono oaso or the other,
but possibly Mr. Gompers aud tho ex
treme silver men believe what they
s-ry. There Is no telling what a man
our believe .when be makes up his mind
that a certain state of thing* must
exist, i. ’'
lug Influences which he did so much
to bring to bear on the young women
of our land will pass on from genera
tion to generation forever.

of It so well aa Dr. Bass can afford

AGAINST BURGLARS.
A Proposal to Insure People Against
Dosses By Them.
Btiglarics bare become so frequent
,hat Bev ' oral cartalists have
now under consideration the formation
Hurdiv ary iudemnW y company.
Hardly a day passes In which some ros-
“®r oa “ ttle budding is not
totored by th.eves and valuable prop-
my damaged or taken away. In a
large per centage of -tbe burglaries the
property is never recovered. Even
when It Is found the article Is gener-
ally vn ai damaged condition ond of
little value. When the company com
mences business its policy holders can
go away from home for a few days
or abroad for a vacation and not be in
a perpetual stale ot worry about the
Bafety of their household effects, tm-
would be because the company be
lieves prevention of house-breaking is
even better than fhe oonvlctlon of the
burglar. An efficient force of watch
men would patrol the district in which
the insured lived. When a burglary
was committed the policy holder would
have to report at once to the offices of
the company. Its agents would go to
the building Just as the adjusters of a
fire company would In case of a loss.
All the property damaged would be
taken possession of as if It were sal
vage, and trained detectives would en
deavor to run down the criminals.
A charter has already Been issued to
the company In' Iowa, where a capital
of $50,000 was subscribed. Applica
tion was then made to the Insurance
commissioner of Illinois to do business
In this state. Ho looked up the law,
and, though It does does not expressly
Include Indemnity companies In its
provisions, he decided that the compa
ny could legally do business If a $100.-
000 subscription was raised In the
state. This will now be done, and tho
headquarters tor the United Stales will
be established In Chicago. From here
branches will likely bo established lu
all the large cities of the-country. In
Grea t Britain and Canada, similar com
panies have successfully transacted
business for several years. Attorney,
Adodph Moses said yesterday:
■ “In Issuing policies to applicants tho
company would have, of course, to con
sider the moral risk, but this applies
largely to fire insurance companies,
and they are successful: Only people
of the best reputation would be ac
cepted. An Inquiry would be made
lr.to itholr antecedents. Just ah Is done
every day by -the guarantee companies
when asked to Issue a bond. When a
loss oocurred the company's agents
would take hold vigorously and make
a very thorough Investigation. With
all these precautions there would be
little chance for fraud. As an extra
safeguard the adjustment of a- loss
would be made through tbe courts.
“A suit would be filed In a court of
record and tbo evidence taken before
payment of (he Indemnity. Thus a
record of the cose would be In the offi
cial records, and should fraud bo af
terward discovered we could hold the
Insured on a charge of perjury. Com
panies tn other lines of insurance sim
ply require affidavits to be made, but
that Is not -mudh ot a safeguard. Many
prominent business men have become
Interested in tho company, and If It
goes through, which I have ro doubt
of, It will Be the first of its kind In the
United States.”—Chicago Times.
