SULLIVAN SLO WLY STARVING.
The Murderer of Ella Watson Re-
fusing All NOurishment.

Howard Sullivan, the negro who muir
dered pretty Ella Watson on the 18th OF
August and who was sentenced to be
hanged on December 2. is slowly starv-
ing himself. Since bis incarceration in
the Salem Jail he has lost thirty pounds.
He has become very dsspondent during
the last month aud since he VAS sen.
fenced on Saturday be refused to eat
anythiog. All lay long he sits with his
head in HE hands and refuses to talk to
any one. Sheriff Coles, who visits Sui
livan's cell dozsn times q dav, Is alarm
ed at the weak condition OF his prisoner.
The Sheriff intends to day to force Sui.
livan to take some kind OF nourishment,
for fear that if he continues to starve
himself be will cheat the gallows. The
fact that he refuses to eat leaked ou,
about town yesterday and became the
principal topic. A number OF men have
offered Sheriff Coles different sums for
the privilege OF hanging the murderer,
but the laws of New Jersey says the
execution must be conducted by the
Sheriff in the presence OF tyenty-eight
jurors, each OF whom must pronounce
the murderer's life extinct.

ESome of the Blaine organs made
q great ado last week over the fact that
the platform of the Democratic party
favored the imposition of tariff exclu.
siVely for public purposes. They are
evidently unaware OF the fact that these
are almost the exact words used in, and
certainly embody the spirit Of, an hum
hle document called the Constitution OF
the United States OF America on that
subject. The Constitution delegates to
Congress the power to impose a Gus
toms duty for public purposes exclusive
Iy. This clearly does not give to Con-
gress the right to levy tax 10 favor Of
the few ss against the many, and the
Casual Observer was recently speaking
to an eminent LAWYER on this very sub
ject, who informed him that in his opin
ion the whole system OF protection,
which the Republicans are nov so clam
orously expounliLg. was unconstitution-
al in view oil the very clear terms in
which it Is laid down 10 the fundamental
law. Republican editors can therefore
get but cold comfort from criticising the
Democratic platform when it is hased
upon the Constitution Of the United
States. .-New York Graphic.

has forwarded his annual report to the
Secretary Of the Interior, in which hr
states that the Government contributes
to feed and clothe the 200, 900 Indians
who are its wards, only about 81 per an
mum per capita. or fraction less than
two cents day for each Indian, which
amount, be says, is much too small il il
is expected to transform the Indians
from being wild rowing nomads into
peaceable, industrious and self-support-
ing citizens in any reasonable time. AZ
ter referring to the inadequate system Of
delivery Of goods and supplies which
has caused suffering to many tribes, the
report states the necessity OF laws to
