WHAT HE THINKS OF THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. A ClearCut Issue on the Tariff Question— Fidelity Bank Bribers— Boulanger to the Front— The Woolfolk Trial. Blaine on the President’s Message. New York, December 8.—The Tribune this morning contains a long interview with James G. Blaine, on President Cleveland’s message. It was taken in short hand, under the direction of the Tribune’s press correspondent, and sent by cable last night. It is as fodows: “1 have been reading abstracts of President Cleveland’s message, and have been especially interes'ed in the comments of the London papers. Those papers all assume to declare that the message is a free trade manifesto, and evidently are anticipating an enlarged market for English fabrics in the United States in consequence of the president’s recommendations. Perhaps that fact has stamped the character of the message more clearly than any words of mine can.” “You don’t mean actual free trade, without duty?” queried the reporter. “No,’ replied Blaine, “nor do the London papers say thatffhey simply mean the president has recommended what in the United Slates is known as revenue tariff, rejecting the protective feature as an object, and not even permitting protection to result freely as an incident to revenue duties.” “I don’t know that I quite comprehend that last point,” said the reporter. “I mean,” said Blaine, “that for the first time in the history of the United States the president recommends retaining an internal tax in order that the tariff may be forced even below a fair revenue standard. He recommends that the tax on tobacco be retained, and thus many millions annually shall be levied on domestic produce, which would far better come from tariff on foreign fabrics.” •‘Then do you mean to imply that you would favor a repeal of the tobacco tax?” “Certainly, I mean that,” said Blaine; “1 should urge that it be done at once even before the Christmas holidays. It would in the first place bring great relief to the growers of tobacco all over the country and would materially lessen the price of the article to consumers. Tobacco to millions of men is a necessity. President Cleveland calls it a luxury, but it is a luxury in'no other sense than tea or coffee are luxuries. It is well to remember that the luxury of yesterday becomes a necessity of today. Watch, if you please, a number of men at work on a farm, in a coal mine, along a railroad, in an iron fonndry or in any calling, and you will find ninetyfive out of one hamdred chewing while they work. After each meal the same proportion seek the solace of a pipe or cigar. These men not only pay the millions of tobacco tax, but pay on every plug and every cigar an enhanced price, which the tax enables the manufacturer and re 1 taller to impose. The only excuse for such a tax is the actual necessity under which the governmeut found itself during the war and the years immediately following. To retain the tax now in order to destroy the protection which would incidentally flow from raising the same amount of money on foreign imports is certainly a most extraordinary policy for our government.” A SmashUp. Council Bluffs, Iowa, December 8.— An outgoing Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs passenger train was run into late last night by a freight train at Perceyville, and according to reports of officials, two tramps on the freight train were killed. The passenger train had stopped on account of a hot box. Other reports state that the freight train went almost through the sleeper and one passenger was killed and about twenty injured. No names have yet been obtained. Fidelity Bank Bribers. Cincinnati, December 8.—The Commercial Gazette this morning publishes a sensa’ion wired from Washington and confirmed by the parties concerned here. The story is to the effect that United States District Attorney Burnett, of this district, was offered a cash bribe of $20, 000 if he would obstruct the government in the Harper Fidelity bank case. It is asserted that District Attorney Burnett immediately informed Judge Sage of the United States court and Receiver Armstrong, and then went to Washington and laid the matter before the department there This was about the middle of last October. It is not stated who offered the bribe. The Commercial Gazette interviewed both Receiver Armstrong and the district attorney last night on the subject in each other’s presence. Receiver Armstrong admitted freely that Burnett had given him the mformation in October of an at empt to bribe him. Attorney Burnett admitted that the attempt was made about the middle of Ociober and that he informed Judge Sage, Receiver Armstrong and the department at Washington. He refuses to say where the offer was made, by whom it was mace or whether it was in behalf of Harper or some of the other Fidelity culprits. He regrets veiy much that the , story got out during '.he trial or in any ‘ way except directly from the department. The Woolfo.k Trial. Macon, Ga., December 8.—The trial of Thos. G. Woolfolk for the murder of his father, Richard F. Woolfolk, and eight other members of his family on the morning of August 6, was begun in the Bibb superior court yesterday morning before Judge G. W. Gusfn. The prisoner came in accompanied by Sheriff Westcott, J. C. Rutherford and F. R. Walker, his counsel. His ntainer was bold and defiant, his form erect, and head thrown slightly back. He faced the large crowd calmly, exhibiting not the slightest trace of fear or nervousness. His countenance bore a serious, but not sullen or unpleasant, aspect. His face was covered with a short beard, not having been sh ved since he was brought to court on November 21st last. On leavjog jail in the morning he asked Sheriff Westcott to let him siop at a barber shop and be shaved before coming to court, but as the hour for convening court was already at hand this privilege could not be gran ed. Woolfolk was attired in the brown suit recently giv.en him by Mr. Cowan, his bi otherinlaw, of Hawkinsville. He wore a good pair of shoes, a clean shirt and collar and black necktie. Woolfolk’s feet have been shacKled ever since he has been in the Bibb county jail. This precaution was deemed necessary for several reasons. This mefrning when Sheriff Westcott entered Woolfolk’s cell and started to unloosen his shackles he fo.und that the locks wouldn’t unfasten, owing to the wards in them be, ing twisted, and it was necessary to send for a blacksmith and have the sha kies sawed off. Counsel Ruthe ford moved for a continuance, because of the absence of two of the main witnesses on which the defense relied. Solicitor Hardeman opposed the motion. Judge Gustin refused to grant the continuance, and ordered the case to trial. Woolfolk turned a shade paler at this announcement. The indictment, charging him with the murder of his father, the first bill, was then read, to which the prisoner responded: “Not guilty.” The work of selecting a jury was then begun. At the hour of adjournment oniy one juror had been obtained. Four panels have been exhausted. Another Death from Hydrophobia. Hot Springs, December 8.—The wife of Alderman John Laughran, of this city, died ot hydrophobia last night. About nine weeks ago Mrs. Laughran was bitten bya rabiddog while heroic; 1 yjdefending her child from a ferocious' attack made on it by the dog. Just as the mad brute was about to spring upon her babe this brave lady grappled with him, and, although the animal tore one of her hands to pieces, she seized it by the collar, dragged it to and incarcerated it in a room. Medical aid was at once summoned and all that tould be done by the best medical skill of this city was done to kill the poisonous effects of the bite. The brave and noblehearted lady was satisfied that she saved her child and did not appear to fear the serious and fatal results of the wound. The family and friends had alrpost forgotten the unfortunate occurrence until Saturday morning last,when she was taken violently ill, and from that moment suffered indescribable agonies until death rel eved her last night. The attending physicians pronounce it a well developed" case of hydrophobia. Mr. Laughran, her husband, it is feared, will lose his mind as he is frantic with grief and blames himself because he did not kill the dog days before. Boulanger and the Cabinet. Paris, December 8.—It is stated that M. Goblet, who has undertaken the task ot forming a ministry, intends to demand that Gen. Boulanger shall be minister of war. New goods arriving by the car load. 50 varieties of canned fruits and vegetables. » Preserves, jellie> and jams in glass, wood and tin. Atmore’s Mince Meat in 5 and 18 lb. pails.
