The Shotgun in Politics.

Selma (Ala.) lllIeS (DeHl.).
A campaign which has been characterized
by so much rancor as the campaign in
Lowndes finds logical conclusion in the in
telligence that comes of the shooting affray
at Collirene. 1t was easy to anticipate blood
shed when men for weeks past have gone
about with knives, pistols and shotguns, and
have stood ready to enforce the truth of con-
victions by taking the lives of men who dared
differ from them. How long are practices
such as these to characterize the citizens of
our State? How long are they to be counte-
nanced by public opinion? How long are
they to continue to receive indulgent treat
ment by the law? AS we write we know
none of the particulars of this unfortunate
affair. 1t is not necessary to know the par
ticulars in forming an opinion. The bare
facts are that after an exciting political con-
test. the leader of one faction of the white
men has been shot down by an opponent on
election day. The loss of one mans life or
of dozen mems lives is of little Importance
in itself. But how life is lost is question
of the most pressing significance. The man.
ner in which Dudley has lost his is an insult
to all orderly and civilized principles OF gov
eminent. He is the victim of diseased So
cIal sentiment. All Jalk ABOUT culvdlIy,
about manhood, about courage and daring is
as nothing in the face of the fact that in a
community pretending to rank as civilized
community, canvass cannot be conducted
or an election held without the accom-
paniments of cleaning knives and
shotguns. Is the impression to go
abroad to the world that the people
of this State hold the passions of conquest
and revenge as far above the demands of law
and order? What is government worth,
what is it fit for under which human life is
so cheaply and meanly rated? The truth
will remain the truth, that the line. separat-
ing civilized people from a semi-ciyilized
or barbarous people is the perfection in the
safeguards that are thrown around human
life itself. With insecurity of life, with the
necessity of going around like band OF saw
ages come the savage virtues, it is true, but
out of these conditions we shall never get
wholesome political or moral existence. HUI
man life is too cheap here. 1t is disgraceful-
ly and shamefully cheap. Dudley shall not
have died in vain if the violence accompany
ing his death will make the sober citizens of
Alabama reflect that for progress in any
measure for the future, and for permanence
in that progress, we must hold life as the
highest and dearest concern of all, and as not
a thing to be blown away with a shot gun or
stabbed into eternity at every little election
brawl.

mittee, as far as the member from Maine is
concerned. and President Cleveland, who
kept him in office as long as he could, but all
the Democratic newspapers as well. We be-
lieve every one of them, from Kittery Point
to Quoddy Head, since he stepped down and
out of the collectorship, has paid tribute to
his greatness and goodness. The Tabula-
tors distinguished services to the Democratic

Evidently both Squire and Flynn are try
ing to shield themselves at the expense OF
Hubert O.. Thompson. Thompson is dead,
and they have no fear of contradiction from
him. 1t is not probable, however, that they
are the precious pair of dupes and innocents
that they pretend. Doubtless all three OF
them when the compact was made were fully
knowing to it and about equally interested
in it. The master spirit was undoubtedly
Thompson. Finding that he could not get
the office himself he determined upon the
next best thing, which was the control OF the
person who did get it. With the agreement
between Flynn and Squire in his pocket he
had both of them in his control. 1t is too
much to believe, however, that Flynn and
Squire were the dupes they now profess.
Thompson took advantage of the avarice of
the one and the impecuniosity of the other,
but it cannot be said that he imposed upon
their ignorance The tenor of the agreement
was so clear that no man possessed of even
very ordinary amount of intelligence could
fail to perceive that it was disreputable and
criminal. 1t is case where three rogues
made aniniquitous bargain, and afterwards
having a falling out, one of them exposed

There is likely to be contest over Mr.
Tilden's will. There is no man in the Demo-
cratic party big enough to wear his mantle
or his shoes, so these articles may rest I'M
disturbed. But for the five million dollars
which he left there are fourteen relatives
who have claims. The will devotes to these
relatives only about million dollars, and OF
this the only gift in fee simple is house
left to a sister, Mrs. PeltOn. She also has
the income of one hundred thousand dollars
during her life The other relatives are to
enjoy certain fixed incomes during their
lives. About four million dollars are
left in trust to be used in founding
public libraries. Three million of this
has been assigned to the founding
of a great free library in New York
city. The relatives feel aggrieyed that they
are left with income for which they must
look to company of trustees, and talk OF
breaking the will But it is not likely that
the court will sustain any such attempt. Mr..
Tilden had right to do with his own as he
wished, and if he chose to make his relatives
comfortable for life, and devote the greater
part of this wealth to philanthropic pur-
poses, it ought to be the business of the
courts to see that his wish is carried out If
carried out the disposition made by Mr. Til
den will be public blessing; if the will is
broken, the only result will be to deprive the
poor of New York and ether cities, of advan-
tages that few people who already have
enough, may enjoy superintendent riches.

The people of this community were today
served with what might be termed double
ended sensation in the way of seizures.
Seizure the first occurred as follows: The
General Middleton, which was anchored in
our harbor, dispatched a boat under the
command of First Officer Kent to look for
American fishermen. He proceeded to what
is called Yellow Bank weir, where he sur
prised party of American fishermen, sein-
ing and taking fish from the above named
weir He of course captured them-boat,
fish and all, brought them to and laid them
astern of the General Middleton, but after a
short detention they were released again,
and the American fishermen after shame
fully insulting the Canadian officers sailed
off for home with broad smiles on their
faces The boat was released, understand,
under the pretext that the Americans had a
permit from some one in the Department of
Marine and Fisheries to build and fish the
Yellow Bank weir. If that is a fact, it is
virtually giving Americans a permit to fish
in Canadian waters, which Of course is de-
cidedly contrary to law, and which should be
Immediately investigated. Apout IHe tlIie
the above occurrence was transplring, special

couple of our fishermen for importing from
