up in the Catholic churches last Sun
day amounted to about five hundred
dollars. This money is already
on its way to Ireland. Various
other cities have sent large
contributions. Last night we re-
ceived news by cable of the death of
three persons in Ireland from starva-
tion. This is something appalling to
contemplate. The picture of dis
tress in that unfortunate and down
trodden country is enough to move
every heart. Let us express our sym
pethy in substantial form, every one
giving cheerfully according to his
situation in life. Even a penny will
buy a'loaf of bread for some famishing
child. Assurances are given that
contributions sent to Ireland will be
properly distributed to the needy, ac-
cording to their wants.

railroad question Of the State This
has been tried before, but never to
the entire satisfaction Of the Ameri-
can. We hope this central organ Of
the State will be successful. 1t has
become so much the fashion in this
State for the papers to ridicule and
abuse the legislature that men who
might be of real service are generally
disposed to consult their sense of self
respect By keeping out of the race
The compensation is small, and the
honor aud thanks even less in proper
ton. There was a time when the
ablest and best men in the State felt
proud Of seat in the legislature; but,
somehow or other, we do not see this
class coming to the front as in former
years. There is some reason for this,
and, as it is a serious matter, we hope
the American will find it and point
out the romedy

XILLEp OrFICIALLY.

The last number of the Ripley
(Tenn.) News contains the following
item:
John F. Halfacre, John West and
W. d. New went to the Jennings
place, about eight miles from Ripley,
for the purpose of arresting John G.
Pope, Halfacre having been deputized
by Sheriff Cobb to make the arrest.
The posse found Pope in the field
picking cotton, and when within
about forty yards of him, ordered him
to surrender, but instead of doing so
he (Pope) put his hand in his pocket,
turned and started to run, when
Halfacre fired upon him with double
barrel shot gun, loaded with buck and
duck shot. Pope fell, having received
forty shots in his body. They then
put him in a wagon and started to
bring him to Ripley; before they'had
gone two miles Pope was dead. There
are said to have been several unsuc.
cessful attempts made to arrest him.
We learn that the crime for which he
was arrested, and which caused his
death, was the carrying of concealed
weapons. This death should be
warning to Others who are in the
habit Of violating the laws Of the land
The jury ofinquest rendered verdict
that the killing was done by John 4.
Halfacre, in the discharge Of his
official duty as deputy sheriff.
The people of Lauderdale county
should read the decision of the Su-
preme court and they will learn that
Mr.. Halfacre is a murderer in the
eyes Of the law as well as of society,
and that he ought to be in the peni-
tentiary. Carrying concealed weapons
is a practice which should be frowncd
down and punished It is a violation
Of the law, but it is not a felony, and
no officer or posse has right to shoot
man down merely on the suspicion
that he has committed a misdemeanor,
No doubt these men who committed
this cold -blcoded murder would have
reported that they had to kill Pope in
selt-defense, but for the fact that he
was shot in the back. The grand jury
of Lauderdale county will possibly
take different view of this case from
the jury of inquest
