THE prediction made by the Com
MERCIAL HERALD, shortly after the
arraignment Of Mrs. Walkup for
poisoning her husband, that she was
an innocent woman, receives additional
strength from the following special
telegram which appears in the st.
Louis Globe Democrat Of Sunday:
EMPoR1A, KAN, Sept. 5.-The opin-
ion of Dr.J. w. Trueworthy, Of Kan.
sas City, that Mr.. ]. r. Walkup was
in the habit of taking arsenical prep
arations for the purpose Of stimulat-
ing his physical powers, and that the
effect OF the drug caused his death, is
accepted by many people here as solu-
tion Of the case. Dozens Of reputable
witnesses can be brought to testify
that Mr.. Walkup frequently and pub
licly boasted after his marriage
of great excesses and it was ex-
actly in the line Of his proceedings at
the time he fell sick last month with
the same old symptoms he described to
Mr.. Scott, of Kansas City, and which
the testimony of Mr.. Ebben Baldwin,
of Lawrence, DR.. ]. W. Filkins and J.
r. Graham, Of this city, corroborate as
having also occurred last December,
in the summer Of 1888 and summer of
1884, respectively. DR.. Trueworthy is
known here as reliable physician, who
practiced medicine for many years in
Emporia prior to his removal to Kan
sas City last year. He says in an in
terview that he treated Walkup two
years for symptoms similar to those
of the latter's fatal illness
and acted generally as his
physician. Mr.. Walkup's habits
are very generally known here to con-
firm the Kansas City theory of his ar
senical condition and proportionately
exonerate his wife from any RESPONSE
bility for the result of his habits. Mrs.
Walkup said to lady who called on
her in her cell at the courthouse to-
day, "Think Of what | am going
through, and am an innocent wo-
man." Public sentiment is divided on
the question of Mrs. Walkup's alleged
guilt, and there are people enough in
Emporia who believe her innocent to
secure her fair trial when her case is
submitted to jury decision.

HENRI WATTERsoN goes for the
Mobile Register in the following
style:
That rabid old Red-snapper, the
Mobile Register, reminds US Of its
existence by the pious ejaculation that
"the presumption Of the Courier
Journal in assuming to dictate to the
Democratic party has been very prop.
erly rebuked by several Southern
journals" Well, now that the Register
mentions it, we believe we did hear
something the other night outside the
net, south, by southwest, going in; but
we thought it was a mosquito. Was it
only re5uke?

The Result of the Primaries in
Claiborne.
PORT GIBSON, Sept. 8, 1885.
Editor COMMERCIAL Herald;

PORT GIBSON, Sept. 3, 1885.
Editor COMMERCIAL Herald;
In accordance with the expressed
wish of the tried and true yeomanr of
Democratic faith Of Claiborne county,
an election was held on Tuesday, Sept.
lst., in the various precincts of the
county, to determine who should be
the nominees for the several offices of
the county. The plan adopted was the
well known one-a primary" plu-
rality fixing the nominee, and every
one mentally agreeing to support the
nominee, whomsoever he should be.
The ringing resolution sent in by the
"Brandywine Tigers" seemed to be the
rallying cry on which to base the con-
duct of the election, and to-day, its
wisdom is apparent. Said resolution
is in substance "that Democrats, and
they well known ones only, vote at
this election, and that we deprecate the
use of the negro in formulating our
party nominees" etc. The result Of
this measure was that not forty negroes
voted to make Democratic ticket,
and every one Of them was youched
for by several white Democrats. Sew
eral of our old "whipper-ins" stood
idly by on the grounds and, like Othel-
10, lamented "an occupation gone" and
now as the race is done, the ticket
named, all feel satisfied because it was
wrought out on a family basis. Of
course the ticket wrought surprising
changes and open eyes attested that
fact as the returns came in. The ticket
stands as telegraphed you last night.
The ticket, like that of the State, gives
general satisfaction and no boiling
| will rnsnlk

The first monument to the memory
of Gen. Grant has just been completed

has a shaft 40 feet high with pedes-
tai of feet. This granger obelisk is
made of framework Of wood firmly
anchored to solid foundation, and en-
tirely covered with ears of yellow
corn. The four sides bear spectively
the words, "Peace," ""Union," PLENTY"

red ears. The cornice moulding of
the pedestal is covered with sorghum
stalks, and at each angle is huge
kansas pumpkin. In the center of
each face of the pedestal is a portrait
Of the hero of Appomattox, sur
rounded with triQmphal wreath of
ears Of popcorn with the husk on, with
red peppers for the berries Of the
laurel crown. Corn stalks in Mosaic
style cover the remainder of the
pedestal faces, and at the south and
north sides are stacks of arms
ingeniously constructed of corn stems,
with bayonets Of the same material
The thirty-two bushels of corn used in
the monument were taken from field
adjoining the town of Peabody, belong

THE PRLNCTPLE.

In Southern communities it is
possible for the property owners and
intelligent citizens to secure to both
races good local government; it is
impossible however for the negroes to
secure even endurable rule. The
whites cannot always give satisfaction;
the negroes can never do it. 1t is
therefore the best for both races that
the whites rule, and only selfish men
and the negroes worst enemies tell
them differently.
In this county peculiar and dan
gerous political situation exists. The
white people, with great liberality and
long forbearance, have for years allow
ed the control of county affairs to re-
main in the hands of men who do not
represent their views, who have be-
trayed and robbed both races, and who
propose to maintain themselves in
power by brazen corruption and boast
ed bribery. They have already paral-
yzed the courts, and they now propose
to destroy by bribery the citizenship
of any who dare oppose them.
These are not mere assertions, they
are facts. They are known to be facts
by every well informed citizen in the
county.
We have not the "man on horse
back" it is true, but we have worse;
we have the scoundrel with the roll of
money as big as ones leg, He disputes
with his money the right Of the honest
citizens to control their own. He has
already "made" several average for
tunes off the people Of Warren county,
but he wants more, and more, and
to use his own coarse and brutal lam
guage che doesn't give a d-n" on
what principle the citizens ought to, or
wish to conduct their affairs. But for
this one man, who has lived and fat
tened in office in this county for twelve
years or more, there would not be the
least difficulty in the good citizens
securing valuable and lasting reforms,
very much lower taxes and a permanent
adjustment Of the relations between
the races, So long as he can buy up
strikers, vote brokers, and voters, so
long can he defeat the efforts of the
reformers, by neutralizing the votes
of the best citizens and virtually dis
franchising them.
The people must get back TO the
sound principle. The honest, the com
petent and those with the greatest
interst at stake, must rule. Tht
Democratic party gis composed Of
the only men in the county who are
capable of ruling it, and reforming it
at the present time. 1t should be
thoroughly disciplined and capably
handled and the work will be done.
Let every good citizens Of the county
aid the Democratic party in the good
work.

Another Murder.

Yesterday evening some boys playing iu
the alley between Washington avenue and
Massachusetts,, and Fifth and Sixth streets
found package wrapped up in paper,
which, on opening, disclosed paste board
box in which was the body of new born
infant, apparently an eight months-old
fOelus. In shape and form the body was
perfect and bore upon its little countenance
calm and placid appearance. About it
there was no appearance of violence except
upon the left side of the head where there
was indications of a blow having been
struck. Apparently the little waif was the
offspring OF miscegnatiOn though some who
viewed it claim il to be entirely white.
Be that as it may the monster in human
shape that bore il and the 6end incarnate
that murdered il ought to find a very warm
reception in Hades when the Great / Am
shall decree their course of sin and shame
ended on earth. However such things may
be viewed by the licentious, however pilia-
ting may be the laws of mortals concerning
them, this numbering of innocent babes 10
hide the shame of the lus full adults, must
stand before the com of the most high, as
the most dastardly, cowardly, deliberate
and cold blooded murder the human feart
could conceive or human deprsvity perpe-
trate, and If ia a crying shame and blot
upon the fair nsme of a Christian COM
munity that so little concern is felt over
them and so little and so futile effort is
made to ferret out the guilty parties. Not
only should they be unearthed, but the
severest penalty of law should be inflicted
upon them. SO common has become this
crime that every instinct of humanity calls
for this severity, and justice demands that
il should be made capital ofiense and in
vplve in its scope the parents and the ply
stefan who has any connection with it.
