staging has been removed, and the
structure now appears to good advan-

will be completed in five or six weeks.

If a man becomes a fancy farmer, he
may obtain health, recreation, and lots
of simple pleasure, if he is fond Of
country life, but his pecuniary income
will resemble that described in the fol-
lowing sketch drawn by the Wall Street

A BaiSiiaore man who bought him q
farm two or three years ago was recently
approached by o man who had some
money to invest, and who asked,
"Can / buy a farm for fifteen thousand
dollars ~
ssYes, about that figure"
"And I'll want to lay out about ten
thousand dollars In improvements,

Yes, fully that"
"And / can invest another ten thou

"And five thousand more In grading,

No sand bag or scientific tests were
made to assure the quickest death pos

which the village carpenter may not
have expended more than two hours
labor.
Smith and Car were placed In posi-
lion, and when the hangmanis little
preliminaries were over the Sheriff
was informed that all was ready for the
parsons final blessing or prayer. The
Rev. Ryerson got down on his knees
and began the longest and most remark
able prayer on record. His voice was
low purposely, for he wished to hus-
band his vocal strength. He prayed
for about twenty minutes without ere
ating remark, for long prayers were
not so distasteful then as new. But
when he entered upon the second half
hour great restlessness was manifested.
The sun poured down upon the uncov-
cred heads and many did not hesitate
to say aloud that they were getting TO
much of a good thing. The Sheriff
was impatient and the hangman looked
weary. The proceedings made him
tired. Even the poor wretches waiting
death showed signs of annoyance, for
Uncle had not told them of his compact

higher and higher, but Uncle prayed
on without ceasing. An hour passed
and he was still on his knees. There
was now no relevancy in his appeal.
He merely uttered words and discon-
nected phrases to consume time! The
muscles Of his throat contracted, his
tongue wa dry and Glove to his mouth
and his voice was husky, but he prayed
on, the words falling without meaning
upon his hearers.
"He told me later that he did not
know what he was saying, aud that the
only real prayer uttered in all that time
was a silent one and composed of four
words: God hasten Rolls footsteps
Whenever / see the play of Damon
and Pythias,' / am reminded of that
fearful scene," continued DIR. Clark.
"At the end of an hour and a half there
was quite an uproar, and the discomfort
had almost become a riot, when a voice
cried: Here comes DR.. Rolfep My
uncle did not hear OF heed the new
tumult that now arose, but prayed on,
becoming weaker each minute. Soon
the horseman approached neal enough
to be recognized, and the doctor dashed
up to the very foot of the scaffold,
scattering people right and left. He
was too weak to speak or move, but q

Mr.. Randall and Foreign Pauper
labor.

Two things in the proceedings Of the
PENNSYLVANIA Democratic State Conven-
ton are particularly noticeable. One is
The provision in the platform cOndemning
the practice of importing, under contract,
foreign pauper labor, and the other is the
explanation by Mr.. Randall Of the action
of the convention indorsing him for the
Presidency. With respect to the first
thing it seems a little curious that those
who advocate protection should find it
necessary to condemn the practices of
those who are the benefciaTies of the pro-
tective system. The main argument of
the protectiOnists Is that the present pro-
hibitOTy tariff is necessary to protect
American laborers against pauper
wages. They claim to be the friends OF
American wOrkmen. and that they are in
fuenced in their advocacy Of a high tariff
for the benefit Of the wOTkmen rather
than for the manufacturers. That this
claim is without foundation is shown
by the provision inserted in their
platform by the Pennsylvania Democrats.
The provision is not aimed at tariff re-
formers, but at the protected mOnOpOlists
of Pennsylvania and other States. They
are the ones who import by contract for
eign pauper labOrers. The presence of
pauper laborers came very nearly caus-
ing a riot in the manufacturing and min
ing districts Of Pennsylvania last sum-
mer. The monopOlists, not being
Satisfied with the immense gains
which a prohibitory tariff makes pos
sible, seek to deprive American
workmen Of legitimate wages by import
ing the lowest class of Europeans under
contract e work 50 many Years al "a c0niii-
/ iP}ensation barely sufficient to keep body
and soul together. They are the al
legged friends of American labor
| ers. They are the ones who pretend
to be so sOlicitONs for the welfare Of the
workers in the mills and mines. Their
pretensiOns are false and their friendship
is assumed for a selfish purpose. TheiI
aim is to benefit themselves alone. 1t is
time American wOrkmen were unde.
ceived. The truth is so plain that if they
will think a moment they cannot fail tC
| recognize it. With regard to the second
thing, Mr.. Randall says that the sonven
ton indorsed him because of his ag
| gressive course in favor of protec-
ton. Why shouldn't it have Endorsed
him. HASN'T he been the best
friend of the mOnOpOlists who import
foreign pauper labor? His speech indi
Gates that he intends to continue his az
gressive course. 1t is an avOwal that he
proposes to antagonize the Morrison bill
That being his intention, the tariff re
formers have only one course to pursue
They must endeavor to move straight
ahead on the line of the clearly declared
policy of the great majority of the Demo
cratic party. If their progress is OBJ
/ structed by Mr.. Randall and his handful
of followers, Mr.. Randall must take the
responsibility for the consequences.

fault, however, and that is the utter want Of
control of her voice. When she attempts to

DisorderIy Conventions.

The Republican district conventions
which have met this year to select Chica-
20 delegates have been remarkably disor-
DERBY. The amount of feeling shown by
the contending factions, the tricks re-
sorted to, and the unfair means employed
to secure success, leave no doubt that
spoils, and not principles, control the
party. There Will be, doubtless, a large
number Of contesting delegations at Chi
cago. This State will furnish few con-
testants-that is, if those who now pro-
pose to figure in that role do not be-
come disguised with the party and sever
their connection with it before the con-
vention meets. All the signs in
dictate that the time is
not far distant when if white men want
to act with the Republican party in the
South they Will be permitted to do so pro-
vided they Will consent to be satisfied
with a back seat. Messrs. Norcross,
Longstreet and others have undertaken
to form white Republican party, but
their movement is really in the direction
Of the Democratic party. The most dis
orderly proceedings for the selection Of
Republican delegates Of any place IN the
country occurred at the city OF Washing
ton. The District of Columbia is entitled
to two delegates. They were chosen after
a great many very disgraceful scenes.
If the halt Of what the Republican papers
say Is true it Is certainly a blessing that
the District of Columbia doesn't enjoy
the right of suffrage. White and colored
men can't get along together peaceably
in politics. Washington, with its i'm
mense negro population, would have a
very unhappy time of it if the right Of suf-
/ frage were restored. A residence would
not be as desirable there as it is now.
