The Neosho Miner 4 Mechanic
in speaking of the escape of Mas
ters and his fellow prisoners from
Jail says:
OF course they had outside
help. In fact the assistance.
help for prisoners and criminals
and the outside public sentiment
is about as strong as the sentiment
for the enforcement of law and or.
der. Jurors before they can be
allowed to sit on n criminal case
have to be catechised first, as to
whether they are in favor Of the
enforcement of justice the punish
ment of criminals, and second a
CAREFUL inquiry and inquisition
is made as TO whether they
know enough to find n verdict,
whether they read the newspapers,
whether they have displayed sufh-
cient interest in the welfare of So
ciety and state to know or care a
d--n about high handed crimes,
that startle and shock the COM
munity. We do not see why il
would not be proper for prosecut-
ing attorneys in examining jurors as
to their qualification to inquire of
each, "do you belong to any secret
organization to aid, encourage and
assist criminals" +" But this might
defeat its purpose for the supreme
court, Judge Norton dissenting,
would unquestionably declare that
a juror could not be required
to criminate himself. IL i, 5rpar-
ent to all that the punishment fer
murder is obsolete. Officers are
afraid to enforce the law. They
know that their term of office will
be ended summarily if they are ac-
tive and eft t}cient in the arrest and
hunting down of criminals. They
know that the disorderly and GRIM
inal classes and their friends are
always alert and will defeat them
at whatever cost at the polls. They
know the power and perfect unity
of lawlessness and crime. A great
revolution must come before these
wrongs are remedied-before the
law can be enforced. That revolu-
ton may come by the aid Of vigi-
lance committees and lynch law.
A terrible remedy-but commun-
ties will not sit down and be
Lrampled upon by lawless men,
who by their bravado terrorize the
nasses-minorities that propose to
govern the state by their boldness
IN crime.

THE FLY OF THE HNoLIsH."
This is what the Indians called
the bee when they first saw them
among the colonists. They were
brought TO America in 1875, and
because, doubtless, there were none
on the continent. or known in the
portion Of the country in which
they were introduced. A decade of
years was only necessary to make
them common and to fill the woods
with their presence. All the con.
ditions necessary to a rapid in.
crease were favorable. The flora
of the country abounded in sweets
the woods with honey-dew, ant
wild fruits were plentiful. AS 9
consequence they betook them
selves to the forests, colonies be
came wild and found homes in hol
lov-trees. Hence, they becam,
generally known as the "Fly of Tho
English" among the Indians, anC
in the course of time, as the colon
les increased and others founded
became unwelcomed neighbors
They were deemed the precursor o
the white man and looked upor
with feeling of uneasiness.
As pioneers these little insect:
went forth into the wilderness, anc
as harbingers of race, new to the
Indians, and pushing their way in.
to the wilds of an unknown coun.
try, were found in advance of a
civilization that has possessed it.
self of a continent. There is no
place now where the bee is not.
They have passed beyond the
home of the Indian, and their hum
is heard among the gaudy flowers
of the Pacific slope, and the In
dian has accepted it as a concomit-
ant of civilization.

Remarkable RECOMMENDATION.

d. NJ. Ferry q Co. the well
known seedmen of Detroit, Mich.
announce that they are on their feet
again and ready and anxious to re-
ceive orders for seed from eUeTy one
of their old customers, and from as
many new ones as feel kindly dis
posed toward them. They are in
conditions to fill promptly every
order with new seeds of the best
quality.
On January 1st their immense
warehouse was destroyed by fire.
1t was filed with probably the lar
gest stock of assorted seeds ever
gatheaed under one roof. Their
books and papers were all saved,
and every person who had ordered
seeds Of them will be supplied with
his usual stock. They had large
quantities of seeds in their ware
houses on their seed farms, in the
hands of their growers and not yet
delivered, and on the way from Eu-
rope, which, together with their
full stocked branch seed store in
Windsor, Ontario, close at hand,
and the free and vigorous use Of the
telegraph and cable, enabled them
to secure a new stock in a remark
ably short time.
Before the fire was subdued they
had secured new quarters and were
devoting all their energies to their
customers interests. In thirty days
from the fire they were in perfect
working order again.

states, therefore it should not be in
the Indian nation. To take ones
property and sell it FOR his benefit,
because he has too much, is what
the law will not bear out in the
states.
You seem to feel all right friend,
and honest in what you say, but
we prefer to sell our own lands il
we must.

Fire insurance agents here offer
quite attractive inducements to get

An extra session of council will
be called by Acting Chief Bunch in the
absence Of Mr.. Bushyhead, so the
knowing ones tell us.
Assistant Chief Bunch in a speech
in Flint one day last week said to his
fiiends that the $500, coo would be paid
out as soon as the other $4,000 come,
and they must not fret.
Quite lot OF our citizens, about
one hundred in all, are attending the
United States court at Fort Smith, as
witnesses, most Of them in the Woods
murder case.
The Public school here now has
about sixty, the Baptist mission and
Presbyterian mission schools the same.
The colored school has about forty five.
-Four schools in this place all doing

John l.. Springton, we understand,
has preferred charges against High
Sheriff Starr for neglect Of duties etc.
Mr.. Bunch will act on these charges,
as the principal chief will be in Wash

The people want free speech and
will have it. There is no use to kick.
Public acts Of public servants are for
the people to approve or condemn Gs

this country for buldozing.
The governor Of Texas has two sec
retarics, Kansas and Arkansas the
same. The Chief Of the Cherokee ma
ton has five secretaries at S4O0 per
day. But then, the states we've mem
toned only have about 100000, pop

has 10000.

MIR Bunch and his head men held
a meeting in Flint district yesterday.
Subject, $4,000 payment; have not
heard what action was decided on by
Assistant Chief Bunch yet. They be-

many years of planning and prep
aration. 1t will be an almost in
dispensable work Of reference for
every library, large or small, a
trustworth guide to what is most
worth knowing OF the literature of
all ages and all nations. Occupying a
dozen or more volumes, and yet is
sued at a price so low as to be with
in the reach Of all, a familiarity
with its contents will constitute a
liberal education to a degree that
can be claimed Of few other works
in existence. DR.. Losing, the
eminent historian and author, says
oft: 81 am strongly impressed
with the great intrinsic value
of the work as a popular educator
in high department Of learning.
The plan is admirable. Combining
as il does a personal knowledge Of
an author with specimens Of his or
her best literary productions, gives
it an inestimable power for good
among the people. " The work is
being published in parts of 100
pages each, paper covers at the price
OILS cents, also in very handsome
cloth-bound volumes, gilt tops, 4S0
pages, for GO cents. The parts can
be exchanged for bound volumes,
at any time. Four parts are now
ready also the frst bound volume;
volume two will be issued in few
days. The publishers 13i-page H.

books may be had for 4 cents, or
