when informed that heinous crime has
been committed and that the criminals are
at large and the authorities making no effort
to arrest them, makes answer merely that it
is none of his business. Yet the people of
Mississippi are not always SO Indifferent to
crimes and criminals. 1t was only little
while ago that in this same town Of Carroll
ton, where white murderers walk the streets
unmolested, negro suspected Of crime
was taken from jail and hanged without
Judge or jury. Their indignation was then.
so intense that they could not wait the slow
process of the law, though it was absolutely
certain that eventually the culprit would re
ceive his full deserts, and probably some
thing more. The white man who has killed
black man stands on very different foot
ing in the eyes of the people of Mississippi
from the black man who kills white man.
The former is acquitted by the ''best socie-
ty," the latter is hurried from jail and bru-
tally hanged by the neck to convenient
tree.
But the Carrolton affair Is not the onlS in
stance of lawlessness that has attracted at
tention in the South within few weeks,
Down in Amite City, Louisiana, band OF
regulators" organized probably for the
purpose of regulating the negroes, have been
trying their methods upon white men. q.
A. Peete, who is the manager of the Gullett
cotton gin company, whose works are located
near Amite, discharged the other day some
of his workmen. Some time after, when
leaving the factory at night, he was seizea
by a body of armed and masked men, VINO
placed gag in his mouth, stripped on ms
clothes and whipped him until the blood
ran. The outrage upon Mr.. Peete has not
been viewed with the same indifference as
the murder at Carrolton. Mr.. Peete happens
to be white man, and regulating white men
in this way does not accord with the notions
of the best Southern society. Amite is
greatly stirred up, and the 'best society is
organizing to see that the perpetrators of the
outrage are brought to justice.
The contrast between the conduct of the
Amite people and the people of Car
rolton is very striking. Let us
hope that 1t is not explained by
the fact that the men who were killed at
Carrolton were black while the man who
was whipped at Amite was white.

STATE OF MAINE.
A PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR.

Faith in God is the foundation stone upon which
our forefathers raised the super structure of our
free institutions. Succeeding generations should
recognize this vital truth by humble acknowl-
edgement of their dependence upon Him and by
a conscientious observance of all other Christian
duties.
The sanctfying of particular days for tnst pur-
pose is especially enjoined upon us in the Bible'
command which has been sincerely obeyed by an
honored ancestry.
therefore, by the advice ana consent u 'he EA-
eeutive Council, appoint
Thursday, the 22d Day OF April,
next, as a day of public fasting, humiliation and
prayer
And do urge that it be kept in the sanctuary,
at the fireside and in public places according to
the original intention. By the performance of
these duties, and by confessing and forsaSing our
sins. the best welfare of the people is advanced,
their faith assured their comfort increased and a
higher Christian civilization secured.
"Sanctfy We a fast, call solemn assembly. gath
er the elders and all the inhabitants Of the land

the Lord"

The situation on the railroads in the
Southwest does not show much improve
ment Matters are easier at Kansas City,
but at st. Louis the situation is so grave that
the Governor has ordered the militia under
arms. By the help of large force of po-
licemen the Missouri Pacific managed to get
one freight train though the city, but traffic
on the road is practically at standstill.
People who depend upon the road for their
supplies are beginning to be seriously af-
fected. Neither the road officials nor the
strikers show any signs of Welding.

Some anxiety is felt since the sheriff's raid
lest there be good deal of suffering in town,

QUESTION FOR MR.. PowDERLy.
New York SUM-
But we should like to know from Mr.. Pow
derby upon what grounds some Knights of
Labor on Monday last seized an engine be-
longing to the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany and with it overlook freight train
belonging to the Missouri Pacific Company,
which was on its way from Omaha. and
forced it upon side track. This is said to
have been done by Knights exclusively; and
such an offense as this, if countcnanced by
radically the relation of the society to the
public. If it is against the accepted prin-
ciples of the order, it is plain that the ex-
ecutive heads who are supposed to govern
it, are, either from some conflicting and un
known regulation or from some defect in the
organization, not in possession of the power
necessary to enforce and maintain the posi-
ton they assumed at the beginning.

The knit goods manufacturers who met at
Albany the other day to form national as
ISOLATION whose chief object shall be to
establish a uniform rate of wages and to
take united action in the settlement of labor
troubles and disputes, adopted the following
resolutions:
RESOLVED, That the rate of wages Is a fair sub
iect of agreement betWee en- employer and employ
ed, and should be as uniform and permanent and
as much in detail as is practicable.
Second-That no question shall be raised as TO
the predictions or politics, or whether any per-
son does or does not belong to any lawful organ
iZation or society; nor shall any one be discrlm-
mated against, interfered with, or annoyed on
account thereof.
Third-That the right to work or quit working
for another belongs absolutely to every person
who is not convict or a slave, and the right to
employ or not to employ another is absolute and H.
contestible. These rights can only be limited by
the parties themselves.
These resolutions concede to labor all it
can reasonably ask and claim for capital only
its indisputable rights. The fact that man
belongs to a labor union or does not is
not to tell in his favor or against
him. The right of labor to organize is freely
admitted and so is the right to strike. The
iustice of the demand of the employ to be
consulted in fixing his wages is conceded. If
the association lives up to its principles as
declared above and the Knights of Labor
live up to theirs it ought not to be difficult
matter for the knit goods manufacturers and
their employees to dwell together in unity.

Pasteur is in no wise disconnected by the
death of the Russian whom he inoeulated.
He says the virus of a rabid wolf is much
more powerful than the virus of rabid dog
and acts more quickly. The Russian in ques-
ton was fearfully bitten, and his brain was
directly inoculated with some of the poison.
There are eighteen Russians bitten at the
same time, under treatment, and if they es-
cape Pasteur says he will consider the effec-
tiveness of his method demonstrated beyond
all doubt. But what if they should not es-
cape? Will he then consider that the worth
lessness of his method is demonstrated?

We believe the Knights of Labor as an
organization profess to be opposed to all
violence in wage controversies and to
rely entirely on peaceful methods. The
''killed'' engines and misplaced switches on
the Missouri Pacific reported of late would
seem to indicate either that the organization
is not able to control its members or that its
professions are hypocritical.
