Wendell Phillips died at his home
in Boston on Saturday evening last
of angina pectoris. Mr.. Phillips was
born in Boston, November 30, 1911,
His father had been first mayor OF
the city, and an ancestor come to this
country with the original founders of
Boston in 1880. Mr., Phillips was
graduated at Harvard in 1881, and
admitted to the bar in 1884. The
sight of William Lloyd Garrison
dragged through the streets of Bos-
ton with rope about his neck by the
" Broadcloth Mob" precipitated
young Phillips headlong into the an
ti-slavery movement. He first at
tracted attention by speech on the
Lovejoy murder in 1887, and thence
forward he was the most fervid and
eloquent orator of all the abolition
apostles. His marvellous powers of
speech won him attention where 9TH
er men urged the same cause at the
risk of outrage and death. Slavery
abolished, Mr.. Phillips became the
champion of civil and political rights
for the negro, and later appeared as
an advocate of the Greenback heresy,
receiving in 1870 10000 votes as
Observation-Disclosures and temperance
parties for governor of Massachusetts.
Within the last two or three years he
has been an earnest champion of Gen
eral Butler, and he surprised many
by advocating Chinese exclusion.
He was for thirty years the devoted
attendant of an invalid wife. and his
domestic relations were most happy
and peaceful. Mr.. Phillips was of
medium height, compactly built, cree
and of graceful carriage.

Prohibition in Kansas.

On December 4, Mr.. James A.
Troutman, of Topeka, mailed series
ofquesti0ns to every county attorney,
county uperintendent and police
Judge in Kansas, for the purpose of
learning the results and present status
of prohibition. In a letter to The
Kansas city journal Mr.. Troutman
says that replies from more than one
third of the SIX hundred officials who
received these inquiries demonstrate
three facts that prohibition has ma
terially decreased the number of sa.
looms that an unusually large per-
centage of the prosecutions under the
law have resulted in convictions and
that the principle of prohibition is
growing stronger. sit must be borne
in mind" writes Mr.. Troutman,
"that these figures come from officers
of the State, without reference to
their views upon prohibition. and are
not subject to the imputation Of
being the product of fanaticism. In
our letters we stated that we wanted
the facts, whether favorable or unfav-
orable to prohibition. We believe
the facts were given, and that the
figures presented are as authentic as
can possibly be obtained"

Col. Milton Y. Kidd, journal clerk
of the House of Delegates, died Satur-
day morning at the residence of DR..
w. G. Jones. No. sc North Paca
street, Baltimore, and in the 57th year
of his age. The immediate cause of
Colonel kidd's death was infamma-
tory rheumatism. He had been in
ill-health for long time, and about
three weeks ago he caught a severe
cold, which developed first into
quinsy and subsequently into the
disease which resulted in death. He
never lost consciousness until a few
minutes before breathing his last.

South Carolina.

CHARLERTON, February, 3.-The
Ne'0S and Courier will publish to-
morrow an elaborate report of the
condition Of the agricultural, manu-
featuring and mining industries of
every county in South Carolina on
January LIST, 1884. The value of the
products of the cotton mills in the
state last year was 81 1868, 1888, and the
present capacity, working all the
year, is S9,000,00O. The products in
1888 showed an increase of 175 per
cent. as compared with 1880. The
value of the products of lumber and
naval stores last year was IS, 5O4, 1876,
being an increase of seyenty-four per
cent. as compared with 1880. The
total manufactures in 1858 amounted
in value to S32, 1924 ,4O4, against Sl6,-
73S, 009 in 1880. The value of the pro-
ducts of the mines and quarries in
1888 was 81, 440,0 900, against SIG, 573 in
1870. The value of the agricultural
products in 1888. despite the bad
season, was S4l, 79O,32l. The total
value of the agricultural, manufac-
turing and mining products in 1888
was SIG, 554, 1925, against $50, 1888, 562 in
1880 and S54. 456,707 in 1860. The
Nel0S and Courier remarks: despite
the terrible losses of sixteen years of
war and negro rule, South Carolina
last year derived from agriculture,
manufactures and mining $4,000
more than in 1860. The advance in
agriculture is due to the labors of the
white people of the State. The coun-
try reports are clear and unmistak-
able on this point. The colored labor
was less efficient last year than it was
FIVE years ago, and the available sup
ply is constantly less than the de-
mand. The colored farmers, as rule,
are not making progress, not saving
money and not acquiring land. They

tenants, and, as body, are valuable
as labOrers only so far as they are
directed and controlled by white men.
The number of immigrants in the
state is insignificant. It is the native
white farmers who have lifted South
Carolina out of the slough, and who
make it progressive and profitable"

What the policy of the Democrats

What the policy of the Democrats
in Congress is to be on the tariff ques-
ton this winter, has not yet been dis
closed but rumors of all sorts are
flying about Washington in regard to
the matter. The subject has not been
introduced in the Ways and Means
Committee, but Colonel Morrison,
the chairman, it is said, will soon
propose bill making a horizontal
reduction of the duties on some inn
ports and placing others on the free
list. Mr.. Randall, on the ApprGpria.
tions Committee, however, is bland
and serene, and consequently is sus-
pected of hoping to prevent any tariff
legislation at this session. His plan
is thought to he, to bring in the APP
preparation bills one at time and to
make so much talk on them that
tariff legislation will have no chance.
Whichever course is pursued, it seems
certain that about half the Democratic
party will be enraged at the affront
offered to it by the representatives of
the other half.

The New South

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The new
South is attracting good deal of at
tention here now, The vigorous
growth of new enterprises in all the |
Southern States, particularly those |
east of the Mississippi, is very graft
flying to everybody. Reports COM
ing from many of these States show a
steady and gratifying influx of north
ern capital, and with it northern
energy. A gentleman, just arrived
here from Key West, Florida, the
southernmost point of the United
States, reports the appearance there
of the ever present and active Yam
kee, and what is more important,
the investment of his money. Or
ange, cOcoanut, banana and pine-ap-
pie plantations are springlng up all
over this tropical section of the sunny
South. One firm of New Workers
have just begun the work of estab-
fishing cocoanut grove of two hun
dred thousand trees, while the cul.
ture CT pine-apples and oraT ges is be-
ing pushed in many parts of the
State.
The Florida people, too, pride
themselves, as well they may, upon
the railway development of their
State, some FIVE hundred miles of
road having been constructed in the
two past years, more, with one ex-
ception, than in any oneof the South
ern States,
Georgia and South Carolina are
full of manufacturing interests. The
cotton mills of those States are re-
ported doing well, adding thousands
to the number of their spindIes, and
manufacturing the cotton at the very
spot where it is grown. In Missis-
sippi, railway building is being push
ed rapidly, and sections of the State
whose values were hitherto unsus
pected are being opened. In Tennes-
see the presence and growth of the
iron factories has proven and is PROV
ing of incalculable interest.
"Everywhere," says Representa-
tive Houk, "the signs of growth and
improvement in the condition of the
people are visible. Among the
mountains where iron and coal and
all the requirements for manufacture
ing are at hand, towns are springing
up and manufactures are start
ing their fires. The result is
an improved condition in all class
es. The farmer, who few years
ago got Cnly two and half cents a
dozen for his eggs, now gets twenty
five, and that at a ready market. For
his eggs and vegetables and grain and
tobacco he not only finds sale, which
he did not before, but a ready sale at
prices that are profitable.
During my last canvass rode
over my district great deal, and
everywhere saw evidences of this.
Often l would come on to camps of
men travelling with loaded wagons to
some of the manufacturing towns
who would say that they expected
to get fifty dollars for their load of
truck that ten years ago would not
have brought them five dollars. And
this increase of prosperity brings a
desire for increased comforts and in
creased intelligence. The result is a
greatly improved condition of things
with the people of the State, and es-
pecially with those of the eastern por-
ton, where this manufacturing in
dustFy is most to be found"

The Democrats in Congress think
they see grand victory for them in
the presidential contest this coming
fall. They want to secure the full
benefits of that anticipated victory
(ifi comes), and with strong belief
in the Democratic doctrine that "to
the victors belong the spoils," are
now introducing bills in Congress to
repeal the Civil Service laws. They
are starving for patronage, and are
determined that the prospects of their
party shall not be Pendletonized if
they can help it.

Attack on House, and Killing OF
Three Persons.

New ALBANY, Ind, Oct 16.-News has
been received here of the terrible vengeance
of mob of 200, Saturday night, at the vii
lage of Unionville, Monroe county, thirty
five miles northwest of New Albany. Two
men named Miller and Esteridge, the former
said to have been a member of the Jesse
James gang, broke Jail two weeks ago at
LeavenwoIth, Crawford county. The sheriff
of Crawford county heard of them at the
residence of Esteridge's father, near Union
vile, and, with a deputy, went to arrest
them last Thursday, but the men were fired
upon and driven away by Miller and the
Esteridges, Miller being son-in-law Of
old man Esteridge Friday the sheriff
returned with posse of men and
was again fired upon and driven
away from Miller and the Esteridges. IL
this fight young Esteridge was wounded il
the shoulder. After the sheriff loft, Esteridgt
and Miller went to U knoxville and terrorized
the town, firing upon all who showed them
selves on the streets Near evening the citi
zens of Unionville sent out runners and gath
cred crowd of about 200 men, who werC
organized into q vigilance committee.
Saturday night the vigilantes went to ole
man Esteridge's place and demanded the
surrender of Miller and young Esteridge
and were fired on from the house. A regu
lar battle followed in which old man Ester
idge was shot through the head, his youngest
son, aged IS, through the body, anG
his daughter, the wife of Miller
in the forehead, all fatally. Miller and his
companion, young Esteridge, were both
wounded, but managed to escape. The mob
is on their track, and if captured they vii
be shot or hanged. They have been the ter
ror of the neighborhood for months. Five
of the vigilantes were shot, but only slightly
hurt

revolutions at will Efforts were maze TO
stop the revolutions of the motor by means of
an iron crowbar, but were without effect.
The motion was not perceptibly affected. In
many respects it was the most successful ex-
hibition of the motor ever given. A very
high and uniform rate of speed was shown,
and it was demonstrated by scientific tests
that the power developed was enormous
sufficient to operate with equal ease 500
horsepower machine The gentlemen pres
ent were delighted with the experiment
The final exhibition was that of an ingeni-
Gus continuance devised by Mr.. Keely to dis
play simple application of the etheric
vapor. 1t consists simply of rod Of metal
running from very small receiver One
end of the rod was placed against the sup
pert of hollow brass globe set on an axis.
By hitting the receiver and intensifying the
vibrations over the rod the hollow globe was
made to revolve so rapidly as to produce a
sound like that made by buzz-Saw. Three
cheers were given for Mr.. Keely at the end
of the experiments
