The population of the United
States, on July |, was about $1,000
600. This is ascertained in the
following manner. For many years
the increase in time of peace has
been almost precisely 2 per cent
yearly from excess Of births over
deaths, besides the. excess of immi-
grafton over emigration. The
population June 80, 1880, was 50,-
155, 1888; adding 2 per cent increase,
l ,0O3,1l and the net immigration
of the fiscal year 1881, 669,4 we
have 51,S3S,329 as the population
June so, 1881. Again adding 2 FER
cent, 1,036,5G6, and the net immi-
grafton, 7SS, ,992, we have 53,653,SS7
as the population June, 1882. Again
adding 2 per cent, 1,073,0S7, and
the net immigration, 599,0l5, we
have 55,325,979 as the population
June 80, 1888. And again add
ing per cent for the current
year, 1,l06,5l9, and about $4,000
for immigration-the number during
the fiscal year up TO. June l having
been =. 454,2C6r-we have as the
probable population June so, 1854,
about 569S2,49S. Ia two years
more, says the New York Tribune,
it will probably exceed 60,000,000.

ers will out"
1t is lamentable fact that mur-
derers out with greater facility
than any other class of criminals
In the present state Of feeling it is
more dangerous to steal a horse
than to kill a man.
The foolish sentimentalism that
surrounded the duelist, now pro,
tects the cowardly assassin. The
horse thief is sent to Jail, while the
murderer is set free and made he
no of.
We are not advocates of barbarity
and cruelty. But we do favor
prompt, swift and terrible ven
geance for terrible crimes. False
leniency toward criminals is crimi
nality towards the innocent.
The hangman is necessity ot
civilization, and for him to be idle
where there j. cause for his activity
is not an evidence of superior civil
zation, but Of dangerous senti
mentalism.
Tenderness of heart to a murder,
er means heartlessness to some one
who is innocent, and every word, in.
tended to shield him who wilfully
stains his hands with blood, is a
death warrant to another one.
When our citizens read by the
light of blazing court houses and
the smouldering embers of jails, the
results OF their negligence, there will
come a reaction. When a mob lays
q few Of our cities in ashes in their
vain attempt to uphold the majesty
and terror of the law, then perhaps,
inries and judges will realize that
the end Of law is the punishment of
the lawless as well as protection of

CHARLESTON, August l4.-[Exclusive.
Last Saturday morning the family of Ju-
Ian Dickinson went visiting neighbor.
Mrs. Dickinson was in the habit of milking
but as she was in hurry that evening a
colored female servant agreed to do it for
her. After the milking had been done the
cellar door was locked by boy who went
with the party, but the colOFed woman re-
maiped- In the morning the family re-
turned and drank of the milk and went to
Sunday school ALL including the boy
who had locked the cellar door and a
woman named Mills, were taken suddenly
sick and were about to die. Great excite
ment was created in the church and doc.
tor was summoned He said they were
poisoned. He then went to Dickinson s
house examined the milk and found that il
contained arsenic. The colored woman is
suspected. An investigation showed that
all the milk had been poured into one YES
sci. There is no positive proof however
against the woman. All the parties are
very sick yet, but hopes are entertained OF
their recovery. 1t will go hard with the
woman if she did it.

THE SENTINEL.

EDITORIAL of the Indianapolis Sentinel on
Its Libel suit-It Declares That Blaine
il q Coward and Not Worthy Of His
Name OF the Plumed Knight.
INDIANAPOLIS, August AL Exclusive
Under the head of "a Midsummer Diver
sion," the Sentinel will say: The truth is
Mr.. Blaine under the mask of inviting is
fighting investigation He invokes the
tardy process of civil law BY an action in
tended to deter thep press from discussing his
private life. He calls electricity to his aid 10
hurry the suit for frightening other papers
from exposing him. It isa proceeding
worthy of the man who wrote the MulEgan
letters. Blaine has been proclaimed by the
Republican party to be Plumed Knight
THIS is only one more proof that that
party is a party of false preten-
ses. The action Of Mr.. Blaine
in flying to the court gives the lie
to the whole pretense that he is plumed
knight. The action bellies the character The
knight Of old was one whose acts were deeds
Of gallantry, whose warfare was one of give
and take. Who went forth to battle his op-
ponent with a like weapon Who never
exhibited his wound but went down in the
contest if it was his fate to 60, asking no
sympathy. The knight Of old spurned
money Honor was his reward. Let
Blaine stand in the light of these reflections
and the knights of ancient history will rise
up out of their mouldering tombs to deny
his fellowship. This Republican knight
instead OF riding forth to gallant con-
test, comes groveling down on the sand,
seeking, true to his mercenary instincts,
money for his alleged loss of honor. This
loudly-proelaimed tallfeathered knight
comes down to stain his noble head with
filthy luere, This gallant, high-toned, high
spirited steed rider comes down among
base men and goes for the money there
is in it. Let the Republican campaign
clubs take their plumes to Junk dealer.
Even the false pretense of his being
plumed knight can exist no longer He can
masquerade in the character no more.
Speaking after the manner Of men he has
given himself dead away" 1t was,
however, a logical result for his
title was worn when he was
walking down the halls of Congress reading
garbled extracts from his stolen letters
which contained damning proofs of his of.
fetal corruption and speculation. Grover
Cleveland called on his friends to tell the
truth" James G. Blaine applies an in
junction SUN against telling the truth.

STILL THEY GO.

The Revolt in New Jersey Against Gar
fields Premier Continues With lncreas-
ing Success.
TRENTON, August l4.-W. A. COtter a
well known lawyer and Republican Of
Flemington, is out in a card announcing
himself as an independent Republican, and
giving his reason for boiling Blaines nomi-
nation. He saws Blaine is demagogue
and has made promises which he does not
mean to keep, and asks if man of Blaine's
character is elected to the highest Office in
the nation whether it will not be a strong
incentive to the youth of the land to follow
like practices2 Mr.. Cotter saws he attend
ed the conference of independent Republi-
cans of New York, and that it was not
gathering of "cranks." He states in con-
clusion that he is not the only Republican
in Hunterdon county who has repudiated
Blaine, but there are many who will vote
against him who do not care to make any
noise about it. He pays glowing tribute
to Cleveland
The independent Republican element in
this section of the State is growing fast,
while the alleged Irish revolt against Cleve-
land is confined to few demagogues of the
dynamite class.
1t is rumored that Mr. Pierre Lorillard
will be the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress in this (the second) district, now rep
resented by John Hart Brewer The latter
is not a candidate for reelection, and will
not be under any circumstances.

wAsHRGroS, August l4-At a recent
meeting of the Democratic National Com
mittee in New York a member of that COM
mittee saws, the attacks on Governor Cleve-
lands private character were referred to-.
1t was the opinion of the committee that
they would not injure his chances Of success
in the least Reference was made by one
of the committee to the statement that it
was alleged that the Republican nominee s
character would not stand the effect of cal
cium lights. Senator German, Chairman
of the Executive Committee Immediately
arose and said that if any attempt was
made by the committee to resort to that
sort OF political warfare he would at once
resign the office as chairman Of that COM
mittee and would also resign from the Ma
tional Committee. He did not believe in
that sort of political mud-throwing to ae-
complish any end, and wonld moi, by his
connection with the committee, even appear
to approve of it. This sentiment uttered
: Senator German was endorsed by all
present. No disposition was manifested
whatever to resort to such scandals during
the campaign, and the stand taken by Sem
ator German, it is said, will be observed to
the end of the Presidential campaign.

elusive. Much excitement has existed
here day over the suicide last night OF
the wife of John Turke, who resides three
miles from this place. Mrs. Turke nee
Rainey has been despondent for some weeks
and had occasionally talked in a dreamy
way of being weary Of life. But little
attention was given the matter,
it being supposed better health
would remove all such morbid ideas Dur
ing the evening she appeared to be in much
better spirits than usual. Some time after
retiring the husband was aroused by some
unusual noise in the room. A lamp which
had been left burning the night threw q
CHASTITY glare over the room. In one cor
ner lay Mrs. Turke grasping for breath
Springing to her side the husband was hor-
rifed to find that with a razor she had cut
her thIoat in a horrible manner. The
blood flowed in stream. Assistance was
summoned but probably to no avail. 1t is
claimed that the woman inherited insanity
1t is most lamentable and sad case,
and the large family connection Of this
place and of Martins Ferry have the SYM
pathy of all. Mrs. Turks actions had been
strange for some days past, as she had been
noticed hiding in dark corners and in the
cellar, and constant watch had been kept
upon her, which she eluded while the house
was asleep, as noted above.

WASHINGTON, August l4.-Representa-

this city this morning from his district
where he has been doing some hard fighting.
He was seen al the Democratic headquart-
ers, and talked freely concerning the poll
tics of the State. His business here is to
arrange dates with Carlisle and Blackburn
for their contemplated speeches in his dis

big supply of campaign documents to his

where some could be sent to do the most
good. He says the feeling in the State is
most intense. The efforts of Blaine's man.

one At the public meetings where he has
spoken he says he has met old men who tell
him that they have not attended political
meetings before since the war. He says
the tactics Of the Republican managers
in the State are to bribe and cor

Elkins is so great that it would
probably be unsafe for him to show him.

Greenbackers, expects to get the electoral
