Boston, Mas. Jan. 13 - Hatch
Walsh, who killed his wife and then
cut his own throat atPeterboro, n. H.,
last night, was quarrelsome man and
addicted to drink. He had trouble
with his wife, whom he abused, and
who refused to longer support him.
Johnny one Of the four children, who,
saw the tradegy, gives the following
thrilling and important statement:
"Father told mother that he could not
get the money, and then he began scold-
ing mother and swearing at her.
Mother did not say but little, but
went to the bedroom and got her
shawl and put IL on. Father then said :
"Where are you goIng?" and she
answered that she was going out for
few moments and father then ent in
to the bedroom and grabbed mother by
the throat with his hand and laid her
ON the bed. Then went into the room
to help my mother, and father struck
me and fell on the floor. Then father
took a razor and cut mothers throat
terribly, and then he cut bis own. The
blood was running in great streams on
the floor near the bed. My little sister
Annie and my little brother Eddie
both saw the awful things that father
did. Mother screamed and father
caught hold of her and both went into
the kitchen. They fell down and
then got up. Fathers head hung over
and mothers head dropped on her
shoulder. They went into the entry,
and as they got TO the outside door
they both fell on the snow.

THE JACKSON AND RAYMOND
DISTRICTS.


In years past ii has been considered thai
the Sheriff. Office of the LIST or jackson
district, performed the greater part of the
labor for the county, but close calculation
and strict count for the year Just closed
proves that the Raymond Office is far ahead
in the collection of taxes as well as in gen.
cral business, This information comes from
one who knows whereof he speaks.
/ suppose the information alluded to
i'm the above article must be us il says
from one who "knows whereof he
speaks" but this is only talk, the
books show that the Jackson office has
collected 5000 00more taxes than the
Raymond office; so much for that. A IL
the revision of the tax receipts, such as
checking from the Raymond receipts,
10 the Jackson books preparatory TO
making the personal as well as the
land delinquent list was done in Jack
son, and so much for that; and last but
by no means least, las the State and
County Treasurer will testify,) all the
settlements of State and County taxes
as well as privileges have been done in
the jackson office alone; and besides
all this there are five foreign writs in
the Jackson Office to one in Raymond.

THE IRISH LAND LEAGUE.
The Purpose for which the League
Was Organized and what
II Proposes To Do.

\ recent issue of the Contemporary
Review contains Il perspicuous state
ment of the origin and operations OF
the Land League, by Il. p. O'Conner,
which statement we find summarized
by the Cincinnati Times. When Ire
land was threatened with Il famine in
1879, the Irish people recalled the
course pursued by the landlords in
1916 and the following famine years,
and drew the conclusion that they
would again take the advantage of the
impoverished condition of the country
to push the extreme assertion of their
rights. When it was certain that the
failure of the potato crop would lead
to widespread distress, the landlords
Immediately began To manifest the
same spirit rs in 1916 and 1919. Evic-
tious commenced rs soon rs there was
a want of means to pay rents. While
the people of other countries contrib
uted literally for the relief of distress
in Ireland, the Irish landlords were
not moved by the appeals for aid and
contributed nothing. The necessity
was then upon the Irish leaders to do
something for the starving tenant
farmers, and at the same time ii was
deemed wise 10 form an association
whose aim should be to wiring from
the landlords by some means perma-
nent concessions in favor of the OPP
pressed tenantry. The first and chief
object of the Land League was to pre-
vent famine, and in case of famine
to prevent evictions. The League did
something for relief, and, according to
Mr.. O'Conner, has done much to pre-
vent evictions. He estimates that had
it not been for the land agitation there
would have been $4,000 evictions in
1880 instead of 5000. Fewer crimes
are committed in Ireland now, accord
ing to Mr.. O'Connor, than before the
league was organized, and the assas-
sinations which have occurred cannot
be charged TO the Land League, as
that organization condemns all vi0-
lence. The individuals who commit
the crimes are alone responsible for
them. The league Insists that only a
fair rent shall be paid, and that no
person shall rent the land from which
has been evicted. 1t is hoped
that by forcing landlords to do one of
two things-CD accept "A reasonable
rent, or (2l let their lands remain idle
-self-interest will finally induce them
to he what they never have been,
humane and decent. The league aims,
also, to secure such legislation as will
remove the letters forever from Irish
tenants, and make il possible for them
to he the owners as well as tillers OF
the soil.

THE ROADS AND THE WEATHER

! Around Jackson the roads are abso-
lutely impossible. In Jackson some
of the streets are also unnavigable on
account of too much mud in the water.
The street ear on the Great Northern
line has been compelled to stop. But
the management have their constrnc-
ton train on the road, and are ener-
getically working to fill up the water
holes between the ties with brick bats,
so that Il mule can pull.
This is the state of navigation in
and around Jackson, but we are in
fine condition compared with other
localities in the State. A gentleman
from the prairie country says that
our roads and str, cts are macadl-
mized turnpikes compared with those
in his section, and party from the
"bottom" insists that the roads are SO
bad that bird can't fly over them.
a representative from Lake declares
that it takes four yokes of oxen to
pull an emty child's carriage over the
roads in that section.
In many places people are burning
their yard and garden fences to cook
with, such Is the scarcity of wood and
the inpossibiIity of getting it. There
is a complete embargo upon all farm
ing preparations, and also an almost
complete suppression of trade. Peo-
pie are universally blue and disheart-
ened from the continuous and never
ceasing rains. There has not been in
this latitude two successive fair days
for the last four months. The oldest
inhabitant has never witnessed any
thing approximating the present pro-
tracted wet and cold weather. When
it don't rain it SHOWS, and when it
don't snow it sleets. Occasionally Old
Sol struggles TO penetrate through the
clouds with his cheerful rays, but he
quickly gives mp the job as too much
for him, and retires out of sight. At
this writing there is no indication of
change, and If this wretched weather
continues much longer it connot fail
to produce widespread suffering espec-
tally AMONG the poorer people.

NOT A CANDIDATE

II Col. Il. Richardson had only re-
manned silent the veteran Vicksburg
journalist would have probably made
satisfactory governor out of him
before he got through. But "gover-
nor Ned's" private administration is
almost as big thing as the State gov
eminent. His income and individual
responsibilities are not much below
those of the State government. He
is in reality governor and in no
small way, and he is emphatically
the architect of his own gubernato-
al grandeur. lie has made himself Il
governor" without nomination and
without votes. He is a "governor {"
on his own hook, and we expect u
very good governor His tenure of
office is his life, and, upon the whole,
we are not surprised at his unwilling
ness to exchange his present position
to be governor of the State.
The veteran journalist, however, is
still unhappy. He wants to find
way to suppress the cOlonels, majors,
brigadiers and major-generals He is
looking up ii knap-sack man for gov
nernor. We do not seriously object to
the V. Us knap-sack programme, but
it strikes us with considerable force
that if square, honest, faithful and
continuous service to the country in
the field, while the war ragged, and
equally square, faithful, Jealous and
effective service since the war closed
in the counsels of the State is re-
commentator for Governor, the
State has found the man, and would
probably do well to make the most of
him.
We copy the Commercials editorial
announcing the decision of Col. Rich
ardson.
We ale in receipt of letter from
Edmund Richardson, Esq, in which |
he says, that while he is profoundly |
grateful to the friends who have pro-
posed his nomination and election to
the exalted position of governor of
Mississippi, yet under no circumstan-
ces can he be II candidate; and even if
chosen by the unanimous voice of the
people, the demands made upon his
time and attention by his private af-
fairs would compel him to refuse Il
or election.
This settles the matter so far as
"Governor Nedn is concerned, and
settles it adversely to the best interests
of the people of Mississippi. We are
convinced that the selec-
lion of Ned Richardson for governor
would lift the State out of its old ruts,
aid place il upon the high plane of
progress, improvement and wealth.
AS, however, he refuses to have politi-
cal fortune buckled upon his back, the
people, those who have looked for
ward to having sensible, practical,
and progressive chief magistrate,
must regretfully defer to his wishes.
Having lost "Governor Ned" as Il
standard bearer in the approaching
we now turn our eyes
again TO some gallant fellow who car
ried musket during the late war.
The follows who wore bars, stars and
wreaths, need not apply. They had
their good things while the conflict
was going on.

The Jackson COMET of last week
contains the ablest and most concIus-
i've articles that we have yet seen on
the subject of an extra session of the
Legislature. 1t shows that the law
doet not make ii the duty of the Gov
ernor to convene the Legislature In
extra session to reapportion the State,
as contended by the advocates of that
measure, and also that the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate will not
he endangered in the slightest degree,
in the next election, on account of any
injustice that may exist for the pres
ent apportionment. THE COMET con-
concludes its article by congratulate
ing the honest Taxpayers of the State
that there is no danger of their money
being squandered in paying the ex-
penses of useless and extra sessions OF
the Legislature. The effort TO secure
AN extra session deserved to fail, as do
all public measures that originate
in selfishness and personal interest
instead of the general welfare.

@. w. BroxdelI, of Talladega, and

dressed the General, setting forth the
condition Of the colored people In the
South, their lack of education, etc.,
and asking that the coming admins
tration do what 1t can TO aid the educa-
ton of the blacks.
General Garfield responded that the
education Of their children was the
foremost duty OF all the American
people, and assuring them that what
could be done would not fail. He
urged them to avoid raising the color
line and not separate themselves as a
class from the mass Of citizens.

The ssovernorship.


Several of our state exchanges have
been discussing the Governorship
lately. 1t is most too early to take
the matter up, as we think, and for
this reason we havn't had anything
to say about it. We are quite sure
when the time comes we will be able
TO select a good man, as we have
plenty of material to choose from. In
this connection we must take issue
with the Meridian Mercury in what it
has TO say about Gov. Stone. We do
not know that Gov. Stone will be a
candidate for reelection, but should
he be his claims are entitled to consid-
Grafton. He has made as good Gov
ernor as Mississippi ever had. He has
not as the Mercury wonld have its
readers believe, taken the part of cor
porations against the people. He is
emphatically peoples man, and has
the interests Of the people as much at
heart as has any man in the State.
He voted the railroad bill, not be-
cause he favored railroads as against
the people, but for the reason that he
believed the bill To he unconstitu-
tional. He has declined to call the
Legislature together in extra session,
not because he does not wish to see
legislation inimical TO railroad in
terests adopted, but or the reason
that he believes an extra session at
this time Is unnecessary, and won d,
IL assembled, be p productive Of more
harm than good. His record 10 about
as clean as that Of any man who ever
held Office. 1t is true he has been
Governor for two terms. But it is
also true that he has made a capable
and a faithful officer, and in the record
he has made we have a guarantee
that If elected TO a third term he will
serve the State as well in the future
as he has In the past As we have
said, we do not know that be will be
for reelection. But II he
should we hope his claims, and they
are undoubtedly strong ones, will re-
ceive calm, disinterested consider
alton.
