VIZ Lynehipg Mob.

CAIRO, ILL.,, July 8.-Wilson Howard
who killed John Kahn on an excursion
train at Mound City, was taken from the
Pulaski county jail, at Mound City, and
dragged about fifty yards and suspended to
thelimb Of tree. He had been shot two
or three times previous to be.
ing hung, and was probably dead
before strung up. The body was entirely
stripped OF clothing aud kept hanging. It
is not known where the mob who did the
hanging came from. The whole party were
masked. Some say they came by locomo-
tive from Cairo. The tool house Of the
Wabash road was broken into and heavy
spike hammer taken therefrom by the mob.
sieAs the mob gathered around the Jail the
prisoner set up fearful howl, evidently
understanding the meaning Of the MOSS.
The crowd rushed in at the lower door into
the jsilor's residence, making Constable
dele and the Deputy Sheriff prisoners,
while others met Mr.. Painter on the stairs,
covered him with their pistols and
asked him to deliver the keys OF
the Jail. He said that the Sheriff
had the keys. Painter was made prisoner,
while others broke. down the Jail doors.
Howard was then taken out and hung.
he fought desperately, hut II was Of no
avail. Sheriff Cain had the body cut down
as soon as possible after he got there, but
life ewas extinct. Howard had bad repu-
tation, while Kain, the murdered man, was
generally esteemed among his railroad
associates aud acquaintanOeG.

General Crook Relates the Causes OF
Them-So More Outbreaks Feared.
CHICAGO, July 6.-General Crook, in an
interview with Times reporter yesterday,
in relation to the condition of afflirs in
the Indian country, expressed the opinion
that there would be no more outbreaks.
Indians all over the country" said he,
twill remain peaceable if they are properly
managed. The common conception Of
Indian character is wholly at fault with its
true nature. They must be treated as
children, for they are such in ignorance,
though by no means as innocent. Some
years ago placed six thousand Indians on
the San Carlos reservation, and they are all
there yet, and there is not more peaceable
community anywhere in the country. As
soon as an Indian is taught how to work,
he Immediately becomes conservative.
Get them TO work for year or two, until
they become accustomed to 1t and see the
benefits they derive from their labor, and
they will no longer be hostile. After
they have secured little farm and
some stock, they appreciate the
advantages OF labor and enjoy the fruits Of
their industry. There Is no truth whatever
in all this bosh about the irrepressible say.
age nature OF the Indian and his incofrigi-
Bile laziness. When he finds he becomes
more important by reason OF what he has
accumulated it stirs his ambition, and he Is
jealous Of his property, and remains with
1t instead of marauding around the country
10 satisfy any roaming instincts. The only
trouble with them Is their iondness for
tizwin. II II were not for that there would
be very few brawls and few murders on
the reservation. 7isWin, you know, is made
by iermenting corn aud barley when 1t Is
sprouting. The drink isn't as strong as
whisky, but they starve themselves for two
or three days In order to make the liquor
take hold and make drunk come. From
1875, when left there, to last fall, when |
returned to the reservation, no less than
fifty Indians whom ] knew personally
have been killed in these DRINKS"
"You said, general, that there would be
no more trouble II the Indians were treated
properly, What treatment did you refer
10 ?'
"Well, when went back there last fall
they came to me with hundreds OF COM
plants. They said their rations had been
stolen from them by the wagon load, and
that police from other PLACES would come
in to make arrests and shoot into crowds
and kill women and children. Some
wSmen and children, they said, had been
killed. Then they would be arrested,
placed in the guard house, and kept there
for months, with ball and chain, merely
on suspicion or for some petty offsnse like
a drunk. Men would come in and tell
them that they were to be driven from the
reservation and killed, or that their prop.
erty would be taken from them. They
said they were unable TO tell their enemies
from their friends, and did not know who
or what to believe"

LONDON, July8.-In the trial of the Jews
at Nyreghaza, Hungary, the prisoners are
accused Of having placed corpse in the
river with a view OF passing it of as Esther
salomossy, whom the prisoners are charged
with numbering. They declared their
confessions had been obtained by threats 10
murder them in prison. One was eompell-
cd to drink large quantities OF water and
had been stripped, struck, dragged BY the
hair and shown the gallows.. Another
was beaten and compelled to gaze at The
sun. A number OF witnesses testified as
to shocking treatment received at the
hands Of the authorities. Counsel for
the defense pointed out that the people OF
Tiiza Elar, where the murder is alleged
10 have been committed, have been taught
that 1t was not wrong to testify falsely
against the Jews-the interests Of the coun-
try requiring their conviction.

PRANK HURp,s VIEWS

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-The Pres printi
the following interview with Hon. Franl
Hurd, OF Ohio. Being ipterrogated about
the speakership Mr.. Hurd replied: "Mr
Randall can not bo elected to the speaker

gain with the free traders that he will &C
constitute the committee on ways and
means that 1t will formulate and present
to the House u bill providing for tariff
for revenue only. l have carefally polled
the next House and tind that nearly three
i0urths OF the Democratic members elected
to it are free traders, or, II you prefer the
term, tariff for revenue only men, Never
before have we had so decisive represen.
tatiYn in Congress, determined to force the
tariff issue"
"Wlll MIR. Randall make bargain with
the free traders?"
"That am not prepared to say. He
cannot possibly be elected without it. He
would be beaten three TO one in the caucus
unless the Democratic membersare assured
that there shall be an unlimited opportu'
nifty to discuss and pass upon this tariff
question"
"But how can that issue be sharply de-
fined upon the Speakerspip question:"
"That Is exactly where It will.begin. The
result Of legislation may hinge upon the
selection OF Speaker, and no man can be
selected by Democratic caucus whose po-
sition beforehand has not been defined.
You know the circumstances upon which
WIS elected to Congress and the issue made
ia my district. l would begin by neglGcting
my duty il the tariff question did not begin
with the selection Of aspeaker. Therefore,
whatever l can do will be done to make the
issue distinct and paramount in the choice
of a presiding officer"
"Will the tariff question be the issue in
the National contest OF nextyear as well
us in Congress the coming winter.2"
"Yes, Sir. The Democratic party is COM
mitted TO a tariff ior revenue only and it
will make the issue clear and distinct.
Fortunately, Pennsylvania does not con-
troll the country upon the tariff question.
1t has succeeded in pretty thoroughly com.
mitting the Republican party TO protection.
Bat the Democratic party will take the
opposite view. There will not be thirty
Democratic members in the next House in
favor OF protection"
"Your party is practically solid then?"
ayes, sir, and the Tariff Revision bill OF
last Winter has helped to make it so. The
Republicans themselves, in making the
bill Of last year, acknowledged the neces.
sity for reduction in tariff. The bill they
made affords little or no relief, and in
many respects is more Objectionable than
the old law"

A Cheerful View Of ihe Iron Trad Under

PITTSBURGH, July 6.-The Iron Age, in
discussing the cost and probable workinge
Of the new tariff, says: tits generally ex'
pected that the first week in July will
mark the beginning Of an improvement in
business. We certainly hope this will prove
true, and there are already many indica
tions Of better feeling. The iron market
after a depression which cannot be ex,
planned on any other ground than loss oi
public confidence in the future develop.
ment OF our domestic industries, shows
signs OF a revival, which is equally difficult
OF explanation, unless we attribute it to the
fact that these industries find them
selves less seriously hurt than they
feared. So far as the changes in
the rates OF duty are concerned,
they cannot at present affect the
market, although in future they will oper-
ate to keep the level OF prices somewhat
lower than the average Of past years. The
metal trades are also exempt from any
preseRt embarrassment from this cause.
It is scarcely probable that the consump.
ton of tin plates will be increased by the
reduction Of duties, as all that the country
needs have como in under the old rates.
Whether importers or consumers will get
the benefit OF the reduction remains to be
seen. Our copper surplus for export is
somewhat too large to leave room for i'm
portations, and the other metals are not
likely to be presently affected. Before the
end Of the year we shall have opportunity
OF noting the practical effect OF the
changes, and OF observing how the Treas
ury Department officers will construe those
portions Of the law which are more or less
ambiguous.n
