tsers are in open revolt, and put at defiance
their officers and the civil authorities. Present
indications that the Government is s,defuuct,

Dominion House of Commons. rising of
soldiers mob is apprehended, aud all law-abiding
citizens look forward with dread to the 4th of
March, when the soldiers and Schultz's party
propose to celebrate the anniversary of SCOTS
execution. We are absolutely without law as
the volunteers have taken authority into their
own hands.
Another letter says the country people cannot
visit Winnipeg without fear of being insulted
and abused by lawless soldiers and unless an
immediate Improvement is made in the condi-
tion of affair.", many people will abandon their
farms and fly for refuge to the American side
of the boundary. The village of Pembina is
frequently visited by parties of drunken volun-
leers, who terrify and frequently abuse citizens.
On the night of the Gath American citizen
named Andrew Nault was chased across the In
ternational boundary by party of infuriated
soldiers, and who some distance from this line
was knocked down and savagely beaten by
them and left for dead. Nault was one
of the supporters of Riel's Provisional
Government of last winter, which is the reason
for the assault.

ment As preparation for this the sale is an

misses as much as possible II is considered better to

Truthful Journalism.

1t is with such hash as the following
that the radical papers delight to cram
their readers:
The Rochester Chronicle says: A
Washington. letter TO the New York
Tribune states that while JEFF Davis was
recently at the house of u friend near
Chattanooga. n conversation ensucd be-
tween himself and host on the political
prospects Of the Southern States. His
entertainer was gloomy and despond-
cnt. but the hero of the waterproof cape
and femme uDdergear cheered him with
Never mind, my dear Colonel. it will
all come out right. We have recovered
a portion Of our ground. At the next
election we will yet back every South
ern State Legislature. We can impcach
the radical Governors, and assure YOU
that if l live fully expect to be. within

Tanlnany Hall.

This Institution is figuring pretty con-
spicuously In the papers of late, and to
rcnd some of the accounts it might be
that it was monsirous den or
cave, inhabited by anthropophagi, with
plenty of tracks leading in, but none
coming out. b We believe the Old Hall
stood at the upper end of Nassau street,
not very far from the American Tract
Society House, and was occasionally
used ms political headquarters by both
parties. One night in the early part of
1928 pretty lively muss occurred in
the Wigwam. Jas. Watson Webb, of the
:Neao York Courier, who was instru-
mental in getting up the row, was un-
tremendously "hustled" down three
flight of heavy stairs to the lower land
iHss and displayed a good dea Of fleet
is.ss, and agility in getting away from
the excited crowd. The same night sew

able or reprehensible character were
made against the parties who were in
the habit Of assembling there at times
for political or other purposes. IF il
is now. as alleged, no better than "a der
of thieves" the deterioration is proba
by attributable to the general demoral
ization which has come upon the coun
try under the malign and corruptine
influence and example of radicaism
While wholesale robbery and pecula

tronage of his position for filthy lucre
it is not likely that the public morals il
ether localities will be entirely pure
and above reproach. While the fountain
continues corrupt the streams below
must be more or less affected.

The Estell County KukIux.

G. w. Lyle. the Superintendent of the
Esiell Iron Works at the time the al
legged Kuklux outrages were committed.
says the reported organizations un-
doubtedly existed, and outrages occur
red. but the affair was entirely local and
without any political bias whatever. 1t
was entirely question of labor. The
iron company had reduced the wages of
the miners from $l.50 to $l.25 per day,
and the miners struck when the COM
pany procured negro laborcrs to take
their places. The miners then banded
themselves together in their own inter-
est. aud the trouble commenced. The
bands were composed of men of both
parties, and soldiers of both armies,
and the difficulties were purely labor
In pine. cases out of ten the alleged
Kuklux outragos when investigated,
are found to have their origin in some
thing else than politics. ~. ..

A Quaker Printers Proverb.

Never sendest thou an article for pub
lication without giving the editor thy
name. for thy name oftentimes secures
publication to worthless articles.
Thou should'st not rap at the door
of the printing office, for he that an
swereth the rap sneereth in his sleeves
and loscth time.
Neither do thou loaf about or ask
questions, OF knock down type, or the
boys will love thee like they do shade
trees-when you leaveth.
Thou should'st never read the copy on
the printers case, or the sharp and hook
ed container thereof or he may knock
thee down. .'-
Never inquire thou of the editor for
the news, for behold, it Is his business
at the appointed time. to give it thee
without asking.
1t is not right that thou should'st ask
him who is the author of an article, for
his duty requires him to keep such
things to himself.
When thou dost enter into his Office,
take heed unto thyself that thou dost
not look atwhat may be lying open and
concerneth thee not, for that is not meet
in the sight Of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof sheet.
for it is not ready to meet thine eye,
that thou mayest not understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and subscribe for it immedi-
ately. ... ..r .......
Pay for it in advance, and it shall be
we'll with thee and thine.

The Negro Fading Out.

An official statement from Columbus,
Georgia. shows that out o. population
of six thousand whites and three thou
sand blacks the burials for three months
were-white adults. l3; black adults,
1S; white children, u; black children,
36. "The proportion Of deaths. taking
into consideration the number of white
non-residents buried, is 8 whites and
4S blacks. The proportion of deaths to
respective numbers, it will be seen. is
one white to ten and two-thirds blacks
At this rate, in thirty-three years from
the promulgation of the emancipation
proclamation" the negro will have fol.
lowed the Indian.

Too Good by Half.

A gentleman said at camp-meeting
in Iowa last week that he. had been
married twenty-five years, and during
all that time he had never given his
wife cross Hook or an unkind word
This man should have been an angel
long ago; he is altogether too amiable
for this world. His is an amiability,
however, that may not be entirely de-
sirable. He would be classed by most
people among the wooden men. He
would kill any high-spirited woman in
three weeks by his internal equanimity.
He is unchangab)e as a bass-wood tree,
as imperturbe as mud-turtle. A
house might fall down on him and it
wouldn't bring All ejaculation from him.
His wife might run away with three
men at one time, and he would control
himself so as to say nothing whatever
about it. Such men as he makes do
mestic peace an intolerabe burden, and
are altogether too sanity for flesh aud
blood wives.

Mr.. Grcc!ey's Hens.

The New York Democrat says: Mr..
Greeley, on his farm. keeps running
account with his hens, double entry.
When one lays an egg she runs around
the bases, and when she strikes the
home base, where the book keeper is
located. she sings out "Tally one" or
.sTally two" "as the case may be. because
some of them are repeaters, and the
ok-keepe" gives her credit, and
charges her for meals. III this way
Horace can tell what hens are shirking,
and how much he makes on each hen.
He says his experience is that the. Ioos-
ters are garing fraud, putting on'style
around aud never laying an egg once
in two weeks.

Tie Rattlesnake.;

The Lynchburg Republican tells the
following thrilling story about The rat
tlesnake, Of which there are two varie-
ties--the yellow and the black rattler:
The partality of this snake for the
company of children has been frequent
ly noticed among the mountaineers, one
instance of which Is familiar to some Of
our Bedford readers. A few years ago
a farmer, whose cabin stood in one of
the widest localities about the noun
tains, on coming into the house one day
discovered his little daughter, two years
old, sitting up in bed, where she had
been placed when asleep by her mother.
The child was laughing immoderately
and showing by its every action and ex-
preston of countengnce that it was
greatly pleased. The father approached,
when to his horror he discovered that
all enormous yellow rattlesnake, the
largest he had ever seen, was In bed
with the child and actually coiled round
her body. His presence Instantly eff
fected change in the conduct of the.
snake, which dextrously uncoiled itself
from around the child and assumed an
attitude Of battle. The mountaineer's
rifle hung upon rack over the door;
he grasped it in his hand with feelings
which cannot be described, and awaited
an opportunity to shoot. He had no
sooner done so than the snake com-
menced caressing the child by rubbing
his head fondly against her cheek, and
darting his forked tongue almost in her
eyes. Then he would raise his tail and
rattle so rapidly rs to make one contin-
uous sound, at which the child was
greatly delighted.
But upon the least movement ON the
part of the almost distracted parant, the
snake would entirely change the tone of
his rafting, and swell to almost twice
his natural size. During all this time
the child tightly grasped the snake with
its chubby little hands, and jerked and
twisted him about in very rude and
unceremonious manner, laughing and
talking to her horrid pIaything in per-
feet ecstacy of delight. This state Of
things was finally ended by q move
ment of the parent, which so enraged
the snake that he drew himself up into
a tight coil. leaped out Of bed, and
would have buried his fangs in the far
mer's face, had he not quickly lodged
to one side. AS it was, the serpent went
over his shoulder, and out at the door,
where he renewed the signal for battle,
but was quickly stretched out stiff iil
death by shot from the rifle.
The child cried immoderately for her
pretty plaything, and If set down in any
part of the yard would Immediately
toddle towards the dead reptile.

Persia.

Paragraphs have appeared among for.
eign advices for some time about ter
rible famine in Persia, and it was
thought the accounts were exaggerated.
But later dates say not. Famine, chol-
era, typhus fever and the plague rage
there. The Cemeteries are guarded to
prevent the disinterment of the dead
for food. The diplomatic and telegraph
corps have fled from the country. Such
fearful calamity has rarely fallen upon
any people.

SOME of our radical contemporaries of
the interior are "fearfully and wonder

the locality, they can nose out big pile
of democratic fraud and corruption
with the same instructive accuracy and
discrimination that hyena scents a
sinking corpse. They seem TO be en-
gagged just now in ventilating the New

What He Took.

1t is proper to state that the party re-
ferred to below is no kin to Gen. But
Ter, of Massachusetts:
He took her fancy when he came: he
took her hand. he took kiss; he took
no notice of the shame that flushed her
happy cheek at this. He took to coming
afternoons; he took an oath he'd ne'er
deceive; he took her fathers silver
spoons; aud after that he took his leave.
