CHARLESTON FLASHES.
Young Negro Fiend-A C0VVhIdtDg
match-The BrIckIayerA' Strike.

CHARLESTON, June 13 N Notwithstanding
the fact that every case of rape that has
occurred in South Carolina OF recent years
has been followed by the speedy punish
ment OF the brutes, two cases having oc
cured within the past two weeks,
the crime seems TO be on the increase.
The latest case occurred in this city to-
day, the brute in this instance being a negro
hoy twelve years of age, and named Henry
Robinson, and the victim a little negro girl
about six or seven years Of age. The brute
was discovered penetrating his fiendish
crime in lot in New street about four
O'Clock this afternoon by colored man,
who at once arrested him and turned him
over to the police. The girl was sent home
terribly injured. The beast is locked up.
A cOwhiding scrape occurred on East Bay
this afternoon, in which a number Of the
pilots of the port were concerned. Joseph
and Henry Mystt. two young pilots, as
sauted Captain w. H. Smith, one OF the
oldest and most respected pilots In the port,
ard one of them (Josepb) cut him severely
In the face with a cowhide. The parties
were arrested, and the affair will be invest
gated tomorrow.
The strike Of the bricklayers at the cotton
mill continues, but without any new de-
velopments. The company are not in a
hurry and can afford to wait for new hands.

English Prejudice Against the Uni
ted States.
The Parisian, Nay 20.


The incl nation in England to connect
the Dublin assassination with America is
very strong. The London Times, fol-
instance, has presented many striking
examples of this disposition. In a single
article last week we find such sentences
as these: ''The weapons used were swift
and deadly, probably the smooth bowie
knives, clean and well tempered, as Mr..
Porter said, such as are used by Ameri-
can hunters and by the desperadoes of
the Far West. "Slouched hats and an
American aspect are not uncommon, and
at this moment every one who combines
these attributes is in danger of
arrest" In Ireland, at this hour
of excitement, every one who
looks like an American, or whose
movements are in the least degree mYs-
terious, is looked upon with suspicion.
Mr.. Goldwin Smith, in the last C0ntem1-
p0rGrg, says, in an article on the Irish
situation, that cit is with conspiracy,
and conspiracy having its real base in
a foreign country, not with a nation,
that they the Liberalsl have to DEAL"
Mr.. Smith has much stronger ground
for his assertion than the Times has for
its innuendoes. The Irish police-if they
deserve the name--can alone settle this
point. 'Irish.Americans" may be
guilty of the Phoenix Park crime, but,
judging from what has been going ON in
Ireland during the past winter, it seems
unnecessary TO cross the Atlantic to find
villains capable of the deed.

Some of the Causes OF Ghe High
Prices OF Provisions.

The extraordinary high prices ruling the
provision market prevail everywhere, and
the general expression In all sections 4 4
"Beef is up" Commenting on this subject
the Philadelphia Egesai'lg Bll7etia says:
"'Beef is up to the extent Of four and
five and six cents a pound within the last
two or three weeks. Butchers are as much
Disconnected by the rise as consumers, for
low prices bring bigger profits. A promi-
nent cattle dealer says meats have gone up
at least three dollars to each hundred
pounds, and as for the retail trade, people
are paying terrible prices. Beef formerly
20 cents pound is now 25, 26, % and 30.
Sirloin steak, formerly 20 cents, cannot be
had under 80 cents.
"Various causes are assigned for this ex-
traordinary springing up of rates. Some
dealers assert that It is the result principallg
of the great expectation of cattle and beef
The British Islands and the western portion
OF the European continent have Of late years
proved a lucrative market for the stock Of
American cattle dealers and beef exporters.
The demand in the old countryis uudimin-
ished, and there is no prospect of it ceasfng
to continue so. Then again It Is said that
the severe winter in the West, in beef-pro-
ducing regions, year ago last winter, killed
large per cent. OF cattle, the long dry spell
of last summer, which-was general, cut the
PAShNAO 6hOAtg aAA 1O0Af~ GHtAAU iAcdAAy
starved, and so there is reason for the
scarcity and high prices. The coDious rains
of this season VIII help the pasture lands OF
the West, and by next fall the average citi-
zen will again be favored with the reappear-
snce Of cheap, good beef.
at is a matter of fact that at this time OF
the year ham is in more general demand
than beef, and the observing pedestrian
about breakfast times has his olfactories mot
greeted as frequently as formerly with the
delicious odor of irving beefstesk, but In
stead there is the stronger perfume of ham
and eggs. Ham being in more common use
than beef at this time of the year, for one
thing, and the price of the latter causing
people to fall back on the former for an
other, contribute to a very natural result.
Ham is also dearer, At this time last year
1t was fifteen cents q pound; at the same
time two years ago 1t was fourteen cents.
Two months ago it was sixteen cents q
pound. and to- day 1t is eighteen cents. Con-
sequently ham is ruling in the same direc-
tion as beef, and flesh meat generally Is con-
sidered at starving prices by the general
public. 1t is not only In these articles, how
ever, that advances are noted in the pro-
vision markets. In tie others, although
there is IL anything q general dullness or
trade complained OF, prices are steep"

The Repression Bill The Fifth
CIRUsa AdOnfed.

LONDON, June 13.-In the House of Com
mons to-day the discussion of the fifth
clause of the repression bill occupied the
whole afternoon. Various amendments
moved by Irish members were rejected, but
Mr.. Gladstone agreed that re-entry into an
evicted holding should not be punishable,
unless It was effected by force. and that OF
the two magis' rates exercising summary
jurisdiction one must be q lawyer.
Sir VIM. Harcourt, Home Secretary
promised that the new summary jurisdic
tion, so far as 1t applied to assaults on
bailiffs, etc., should be exercised only in
proclaimed districts. The fifth clause was
finally adOpted.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
No Attempt to "Stand-Asfde,S Ju-
rOrs 10 Secure an Impartial Jury
There.
Winnsboro Is. O. Nelos.


We have carefully followed the star
route prosecutions to see whether the
government would again resort to the
standing aside game. On Friday the
jury was impanneled in Washington,
and although much discussion was had
over the right of challenge, the matter of
making jurors stand aside was not once
broached. Moreover, it was held by the
Judge that the special law of the District
of Columbia permits severance of
challenges, so that while the government
had but three, the seven defendants were
allowed four each, making twenty-eight
in all. Again, when the panel was ex-
hausted, some of the star route men were
at once in conference with the Marshal
of the District who draws the talesmen.
Does this proceeding resemble in any
manner the course of the cases in
Charleston? Not in the least. The South
Carolina defendants were all Democrats,
and the government attempted to ride
roughshod over them. Yet, here in
Washington the defendants are Radical
ex Assistant Postmaster General and q
Radical eX United States Senator, and
their Radical accomplices. Yet MIR.
Brewster does not even attempt to make
jurors stand aside, while the defendants
secure twenty eight challenges to three
for the government. Why is this2 Is
MIR. Brewster hypccrite? or is he afraid
to try in Washington the high-handed
game that was played in CharlestonP Or
is the United States practice regulated
and controlled by the local practice
where the case is tried? If this last be
true, let our Legislature at once set its
stamp of disapproval upon any such
tyrannical and outrageous proceeding as
the standing aside of jurors.
We greatly fear that the star route
thieves who stole six hundred thousand
dollars of public money will never be
convicted Mr. Brews, er's character for
honesty and sincerity rests upon the re-
suit of these trials. If he fails to bring
Brady ard Dorsey to justice, let him
never again "shake his venerable fist''
at the South Carolina Democracy. He
has proven himself braggart, and we
are inclined to believe him fraud.

The Railroad Gazette reports 119a
miles of new railroad constructed last
week, making 1898 miles thus far this
year, against 1874 mIlessfor the cores
ponding period last year, and 500 miles
in 1880. The large increase over last
year is due to the fact that the mild wea-
ther that prevailed during the winter of
1882 permitted extensive building, while
in 1881 the severity of the weather de.
layed construction north of the Ohio
until late in April.

ed of the Minister the privilege of

The Minister was somewhat embar-

bade refusal. The next night, to
his great dismay, the enterprising
American invaded the mansion with
a delegation of thirty odd sight-seers
of whom the majority were ladies.
1t was soon evident that they came
to spend tie evening. The wife of
