Death by Fright.

Addie Walker, daughter of Susan
Walker, colored, lived on Mr.. ]. M.
Garrard's place, this city, She was a
girl thirteen years old and did service as
nurse in the family of Mr.. Robert Wind.
Late Saturday evening the 23d of May,
she was going to her mothers home.
She was quietly walking along College
street with another negro girl younger
than herself. They were talking about a
crazy woman supposed to be in town.
Dollie Trice, colored girl about sixteen
years old, saw them coming and heard
them talking about the CRAZY woman;
and it entered her head to have a BIT OF
fun. Secreting herself she allowed the
unsuspetsing victims to get opposite
when throwing her dress over her head
she rushed wildly at Addie Walker, yell
ing and boo booiag as if she were q
genuine. crazy woman. So utterly dis.
mayed and frightened was Addie that she
lost all presence of mine, and in her wild
efforts to get out of the way of the mis-
ichievous girl she fell head-long upon a
pile of rock and lay there. When reach
ga it was found that she had been seri.
ously injured. She had to be carried
hume, where DR.. Boyd was called in and
found her severely injured internally.
She fingered in ngreat pain, until Friday
night last when she died. And thus
does the foolish freak of a mischief
loving colored girl take the life Of
companion. 9al5ottoH, Gd., Era.

A Western cyclone.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June ia
wrecking train has just left for the scene
of the wreck on the Sioux Falls line OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
road. The accident occurred near
McCook, small station across the line
in Dakota, about seven miles Northwest
of here. There we're two passenger
coaches. a baggage car, and a mail car.
The train was going at nearly full speed,
when struck by cyclone. Every car
was blown from the track, and the engine
partially off. There were between sixty
and seventy passengers in the cars, and
most of them miraculously escaped with
slight injuries. L. M. Scott, the express
messenger, was badly hurt, and is sup.
posed to be internally injured. An old
couple, whose names we're not learned
were also quite seriously injured, but it
is thought not fatally. Nearly every
passenger on the train suffered from
scratches, bruises or contusions, but
save those mentioned above no one was
badly hurt. The storm was very severe,
and tue telegraph wires are prostrated in
all directions. Along the Pacific line
six miles of wires are lying on the
ground.

"A style of highway robbery which is
new in New York has just made its ap'
pcarance in that city. A dispatch re-
cordipg the first case says: "a few
evenings ago gentleman was walking
through one of the badly.lighted streets
of the east side, when lasso was sud.
denly thrown over his shoulders and
drawn tight, pinioning his arms to his
side. Then he was thrown down by a
violent pull upon the lasso, when four
men sprang upon him and elnptied his
pockets" The lasso style of highway
robbery, while new in this country, has
been in vogue some time in Paris. Geo.
Grisson, in bis book, "Paris Horrible
and Paris Original" gives an interesting
description of this use of the lasso, and
tells about one gigantic hig ghwayman
who, after assoing his victim, would
sling him over his back and carry him
off, regardless of his kicks and screams,
to locality where he could plunder
him more safely and leisurely. The
New York exponents of this method
have caught the idea, perhaps. from the
Paris experts. At any rate, there is no
reason why itshould not become popular
aud successful form of highway robbery
in this country. The lassoing of wild
bronchos and upruly steers on the plains
of the West shows that Americans
readily attain great address 10 throwing
the lasso, and, besides this, it may be
made far less unpleasant for the victim
than the sandbag and other instruments
commonly used in holding up" the be-
lated wayfarer.

Benedict in Abbeyille was continued on
account Of The absence Of two material
witnesses. The witnesses walked into
court fifteen minutes after the continu-
ance had been granted.

A BLOODY SHIRT.
What the Ohio Republicans Give Foraker
to Stand on.

The platform adopted by the conven.
tion declares that the right to vote &C.
corded by the constitution of the United
States is the concern of the whole peo.
pie, and must be secured at all hazards
to every citizen in every part of the
republic; existing guarantees must be
sacredly maintained and additional ones
provided if necessary that the equal
protection of the laws and the equal en-.
joyment of the suffrage shall not fail or
be abridged in any way through the con-
trivance, neglect or fraud of any of the
States of the Union.
The democratic party, which owes its
national victory last fall to the wilful
suppression of the ballot, cannot be
looked to for the enforcement of these
constitutional guarantees, and the hope
of the friends of equal laws and equal
suffrage is in the Republican party,
which pledges itself to wage the contest
to successful end.
We favor the establishment of ma
tional bureau of industry and the
enforcement of the eight-hour law. We
are in favor of protective tariff which
will encourage American development
and American labor, and we are opposed
to the British policy advocated by the
Democratic party under the guise OF a
tariff for revenue only.
We condemn the action of the present
administration in lowering the national
flag upon the public buildings at Wash.
ipgton as mark of respect to man
who dishonored the one and sought to
destroy the other, who planned with
cruel determination in his hiding place
in Canada to overwhelm the Northern
cities with fire, and sweep to death the
inhabitants, by scattering everywhere the
germs of info ctious and fatal diseases.
That the elevation to important and
honorable Offices of the government OF
unrepentant rebels, whose political disa'
bilities have not been removed, Is
flagrant violation of the constitution and
an insult to the loyal people of the
whole country; and ne denounce the
administration of President Cleveland
for its general discrimination in the
appointments 80 far made against Union
soldiers, and in favor of men who fought
against the Union.
The Republican party, which enacted
the present civil service law, will faith.
fully aid in all needed amendments to
give it full force, and it is committed to
extend the law to all grades of service to
which it is applicable. We denounce
the Democratic party for the destruction
of the Scott law and the consequent
increase of the burdens of taxation upon
all property and the abandonment of an
annual revenue of $2,000,0OO, and while
recognizing the peoples right to amend
the orgauiclaw, we demand the enactment
of such legislation as will give US the
most practical and efficient measure for
the regulation and taxation of the liquor
traffic attainable under the constitution"
The resolutions also express sympathy
for General Grant.
Judge Joseph B. Foraker, Of CinEin'
pa j, was nominated on the first ballot,
after the adoption Of the platform, by
vote of 469l, and the nomination was
made unanimous.

"A plan is being discussed for the
abolition of the United States sub treasu' i
ries and the deposit of the government
funds with first class national banks at
the same points where the sub.treasuries
are now located, secured by equal depos-
its of government bonds with the y. S.
Treasury. 1t is urged in favor of the
plan, which is fathered by Treasury Jor-
day, that it will increase the banking
capital in certain localities and aid the
business of the country. At the same
time it would be an economical measure
on the part of the government and save
the risks incurred by the possibility of
such disasters as befel The sub treasury at
New Orleans. Many Democrats object
to the plan as opposed TO the established
doctrines of the Democratic party.

Offensive Partisanship Cutting Both
Ways.

There is growing suspicion among
Democrats that it is about time to let up
onfthe aofensive partisanship" cry. It
seems likely to react when the Senate
comes together and the nominations are
presented for confirmation. "You see"
said strong Republican Senator from
the North west, talking of the matter to
the American correspondent only day
or two ago, 'sthis offensive partisanship
will work both ways. Why may not the
new appointees be considered offensive
partisans? If they are. of course we
cannot confirm them, for it would be
highly improper for us to confirm men
who have the very fault for which their
predecessors were turned out" Another
statesman, this one from Pennsylvania,
is quoted as saying on this same subject: !:
"If we turn out a Republican postmaster
to put Democrat in, Senator Cameron
and others who think with him that
these Offices should 60 with the admins.
tration, will make no objection. But, if
the President makes removal for cause,
will not the personal and political friends
of the officer removed be driven into in.
quiring whether the cause alleged is
sufficient? I believe that if Republicans
are removed and honest aud capable
Democrats put in their places, no com,
bination of Republican Senators could
be made to prevent combinations. l
know personally that good many Sen.
ators who sit with the majority would
only vote to reject the Presidents ap-
pointees when they considered them
unfit. But if sought to put q stigma
upon all Republicans who are displaced,
their friends will be obliged to stand by
them.o Some of the new officials, below
the cabinet, are beginning to see this,
and may give the President and cabinet
a hint, if they are given half chance
Dan McConville, sixth Auditor OF the
Treasury, said in talking Of the offensive
partisanship idea recently: q" never
heard of that story about the clerk in
this office who went cut into the hall
and cheered for Blaine, when the good
news for the Republicans came, until l
read it in the newspapers. / suppose,
however, that very great many of the
three hundred and seventy clerks in this
department cheered for Blaine. ."-BaM

Ths statistics oi the cotton crop of
India, which ne published on. another
page, furnishes much food for thought
for the Southern cotton planter, and to
our mind admits Of only one conclusion
as to its import, 1t discloses the fact
that the production ofcotton in India
has more than doubled since 1879, and
that ii. value IS IS now 10 s7s 1O2;591, seems
to us to prove beyond question that the
South cannot expect to obtain a market
for the cotton crop of this country
abroad at paying prices for any manufac-
ture except 6pe fabrics.a We cannot
compete with India labor, which is abun.
dant, cheap and reliable, while our labor
Is uncertain and much higher in price.
The figures show that about eighty mill
ion dollars is now going for India cotton,
and by producing such quantities Of
cotton in the South Ne bring our fine
grade of staple, which India cannot pro-
duce, almost to the level of the India
cotton. live could restrict the produc-
tioniin the United States the price of the
fnegrade cottons would go up, for India
cannot produce them. and the demand
would stimulate the price. Therefore,
by making a better profit the Southern
farmer would make more clear money.
Cotton oughtto be the Southern surplus
crop. If We would only live at home,
instead of buying all that We consume
from the North and West, the South
would rapidly become rich. By making
our own supplies and raising cotton and
tobacco for sale the Southern planter
would rapidly emerge from state of
almost hopeless dependence to position
Of prosperity and affluence which has
hitherto te.n undreamed of. The planters
of the South generally admit this, but
the trouble is to secure unity of action in
the matter. 1t is probable that it will
require a number of years to induce our
people to act uron the theory they admit.
In the meantime the prosperity of the
South will be checked by the short-sight.
ed system which prevails. The indiyid-
uals who change first will prosper most.
Cotton should only be surplus crop.

that any serious complication from this
