IT may be taken for granted that the national bank

banks allowed such additional privileges as will en-

well enough. The national bank notes are good

THE opinion that the Standard Oil monopoly
and the Payne boom are cause and effect is
not confined to Republicans. The Cincinnati
News Journal, the leading Democratic paper
of the city in which it is published, says:
"The Payne boomers go on booming the
Payne boom in blissfu1 ignorance of the NOR
tai hurt sustained by that boom in its first
the Standard Oil monopoly is back of it none
doubts or pretends to doubt"
This is stronger language than the Journal
ever employed That it is true ''none doubts

AN IMPROBABLE STORY.
Unauthenticated Statement that Rebel Pris-
oners Were Fired Upon at Gettysburg.

oners Were Fired Upon at Gettysburg.
Darlington (s c. Letter in Charleston News and
Courier.
Some time ago federal soldier, who served
in Hancocks corps at the battle of Gettysburg,
made the following statement to me: He said
that after the attack in which General j. B.
GOrdon's Georgia division took part, and in
which a number of Gordons men were captured,
they 1.-THE Georgians) got to fighting among Them
selves while they were held as prisoners by the
enemy, and that division of United States
regulars were brought up, and that two or three
volleys were fred into the unarmed mass, which
quoted them after a while.
make this statement for the sake of bringing
out the truth of the matter. 1 had never heard
of the occurrence before. Some member Of
Gordon's division must surely know something
of such an event. The story of the prisoners
fighting among themselves is so very improbable
that, if there is any truth as to the firing into
them, it must have been a wanton act contrary
to all dictates of humanity and in violation of
the laws of war There was so much of this
sort of thing done by the federals during the late
war, that even statement like the above does
not surprise u.s. For the sake of the regulars OF
the United States army, it is as well that some
opportunity should be given them to set this
matter, in regard to the shooting of prisoners at
Gettysburg, in its proper light

Boycott the Divas.

New York Commercial Advtrtiseg.
When the enormous prices paid by impressari
to leading stars in the lyric armament are con.
templated and compared with those paid for
much more elevated, useful, and iaborious work.
an unpleasant doubt arises as TO whether the
human race is altogether sane. The prices paid
arc simply an outrage upon the people who are
fools enough to part with their money. There
is one way to stop this wild and extravagant
course. Let the people agree to listen to mod
erately good singers for year or two, and let
the managers decline to pay more than reasona-
BILE price and if the overp etted favorites of vo-
cal fortune decline to accept, why, let them stay
at home They will come down in time.

Mrs. Fred Douglass an Indianian.

This matter will have additional and special
interest in this city when we state that Miss
Pitts, the bride, was at one time resident of
the city of Huntington, and was quite well
known here. During portion of the school
year of 1889 she was teacher of grade G, cen
trail building, and her old pupils will be espe-
cialy interested in her career since leaving the
city. Many of these will also remember her
with feelings not altogether akin to pleasure
The lady was sprghtly and good scholar,
though, unfortunately, possessed of fiery tenn
per, which frequently brought her in trouble
and caused her to hand in her resignation as
teacher of the grade before the close of the term

takes somewhat of the romantic, and has caused

MURDER AND Murder.

A New York paper processes to see no
difference between the frequent murders on
Long Island by negroes and the still more fire.
quent murders in the South by white Demo
Gratis and, after facetiously treating the sub
iect, gives its opinion that an investigation of
the former crimes would result in fully as
much of general interest as will the investiga-
tons proposed by Senator Sherman.
The Journal thinks there is a wide diff
ference. When the people of
Long Island proclaim murder in
advance of its commission, and for political
reasons and as political necessity, they will
do what was done by the people of Copiah
county, Mississippi. When man chosen by
lot by certain people of Long Island who have
thus proclaimed, deliberately kills the law
abiding citizen complained against and the
executioner is rewarded by being elected to
an office of trust, the murder at Hazlehurst
will be duplicated. When the citizens of
Long Island meet in public assembly, indorse
the murder, and threaten death to
the relatives of the murdered
man in case they seek justice, then and
not until then will the cases be parallel
When the citizens of any town on Long Island
precipitate riot and kill dozen citizens, all
of one particular party, and because they dared
belong to that party, and do not ask investi-
CATION to justify the act, and no steps are
taken by the local authorities to punish any
body, then will an investigation of crime in
Long Island reveal as much as may that of
the assassinations at Danville and the
organized murder at Hazehurst. If
there is no wrong in all these things
complained of, what harm will a thorough in
vestigation do?
Ohio, in Illinois, or in New York, if the chair
man of Democratic central committee should
receive notice not to participate in politics
nor approach the polls? How would this
effect be intensified, and how many hundreds
of thousands would the Democratic majority
be in those States, If that man should
be shot down at the polls
while quietly depositing his BALLOT
Is there Republican anywhere who would
not cry out against such infamy9 Imagine if
you can, a gathering of Northern men pub
licly indorsing such an outrage, and deepen
ing it by sending written word to the widow
and orphans Of the murdered man that if any
thing is done in retaliation, they will be held
personally responsible. All this has been
charged against the people of Copiah county,
Mississippi and has not been denied,
nor has any palliation been sought. What
shall be done2 Shall we submit to the princi-
pie that the Republican who dares be Repub-
ican and vote in the South, must do so at the
peril of his life, and with no recourse if he be
murdered If there is any error in these
charges, it will be easy to point them out.
The perpetrators of these murders have thus
far shown no desire to explain OF to justify
them. The investigation proposed is to find
out why. That is all.
