MAXWELL SENTENCED.
The Trunk Murderer Condemned to Death
"A Stay of Proceedings Granted.

ST. LOUIS, July 14.--Hugh NJ. Brooks,
alias W. II. Lennox Maxwell, was to-day
sentenced 10 be hanged Aug 20 next for
the murder of c. Arthur Prellcr, on April
8, 1885.
The prisoner received the sentence in
about his usual stolid manner. There
were few persons present, as the fact that
sentence was to be passed had been con.
cealed from the general public to avoid q
rush of the curious ones. Attorneys for
the defense asked for an appeal and q
stay of execution. The appeal was allow
ed and stay of execution granted until
Oct 2, 1886.
The grounds on which the State SUI
preme court will be asked to reverse the
decision of the lower court in the case
are the same as were made in the appli-
cation for new trial before the criminal
court.

Ter has the following to say of the pro
posed Chicago, Cincinnati & Charleston

Northward the route will be from
Blacks to Shelby, North Carolina, Ruth
erford, Marion, Bakersville, and thence

From the latter point easy connection

Republicans.


EDITOR lIERALD:-For some time, and
even since the organization OF the Demo.
cratic party, they have ever chosen the
method Of starting some ridiculous elec
tioncering yarn, hoping that since there
was not enough good sense and utility in
their platform to insure success, that they
might, by some means or other, gull the
Republicans into swallowing what they
told, and voting for their ticket But the
good old Republicans of Hawkins county
as well as Of the State, have seen enough
of the long promised good times and
prosperity under Democratic administra.
ton, and are not all fools yet, by any
means, which will be fully demonstrated
and impressed on their minds after the
votes of August and November are count
ed out.
The Republicans of Hawkins county
are fully determined in the coming elec.
tions to put aside all little personal preju.
dices, If any there be, and vote for the
ticket they have nominated in their pri
mary, for that was precisely what they
had one for, TO nominate men who were
the choice of the party; and our primary
Is over now and the choice of the Repub.
licans was fully and fairly demonstrated
by the same. And since everything was
conducted fairly and was merely q SUBJ
mission OF the claims Of the different as
pirants to the will Of the people of our
county. We feel sure they oil feel the
result of the same valid, and that none of
the defeated candidates, or their friends,

pose their own party's choice simply be.
cause they did not think as the majority
Of tho,people did about the matter. But
that each and every man Of them will
come forward and act the man, and not
only vote for. but work for the choice Of
his party, and when the votes of August
and November are counted out, we feel
sure that our mistaken Democratic friends
win see that we are not so easily stuffed
and that they will have to devise some
more effective mode Of warfare.

The Nations Great Problem.

Prof. r. II. Thurston, Director of Sib-
ley College, Cornell University, in his
lecture before the graduating class OF the
Rose Polytechnic Institute, at Terre
Haute, Ind, took for his subject the ma.
tion's great problem, the possibility of
progress without revolution and without
those periods of darkness and distress
which have heretofore been its recording
milestones. The solution Of this problem
he finds in education, the careful, moral
cultivation of the people at large. There
are, it is said, two distinct systems of
education, the old or gymnastic, and the
new or technical; but deeper interpre.
tation Of the intellectual life shows no
such distinction. However better adapt
cd the new education may be to our
present wants. 1t has at its foundation
the elements of the old. The technical
education, which is now beginning 10 re-
ceive proper recognition in our systems
of culture, is simply the supplement to
our older, incomplete academic training.
In the ideal education, the citizen is fitted
for the successful pursuit of every dcsir-
able object in life.
The education at school and college is
no longer regarded as finality, but
simply as a means 10 an end, and that
end is the students life work and culture.
Some years ago, in tracing the history of
the development Of the modern steam en-.
gine, Prof. Thurston divided its growth
into three pcriods-specula,ion, applica-
tion in several distinct forms, and, finally
period of refinement.
In the growth Of our educational sys-
tens, we have reached this third stage,
the period of refinement, in which, the
elements of the complete system being
present, IL remains for us to select and
arrange them to form symmetrical
whole of maximum efficiency, and adapt.
ed as perfectly as possible TO the purposes
which the experience and wisdom Of the
world have found essential. But the
subject of technical education Is so large
that 1t has become necessary ospccializc,
and we have accordingly the manual
training school, the trade school, and the
school of engineering, in which the use
of tools, their application in the arts, and
finally the principles of design are re.
spectively taught by training each citi-
zen to the greatest efficiency in his chosen
work, 1t becomes possible to make our
progress not only rapid, but, what Is of
infinitely more Importance, continuous.

The Mexican pension bill has been
amended in the Senate to guard against
placing on the pension rolls the entire
able-bodied male population of the
United States. 1t provides that every
person over sixty-two years of age who
served sixty days with the army or navy
in Mexico or on the coasts or frontiers
thereof, or en- route thereto, or who was
actually engaged in battle in that war
and honorably discharged, shall receive
pension OF eight dollars per month. In
case the soldier or sailor is dead, leaving
surviving widow who still remains n
widow, she is entitled to receive the pen
sion. The pension is not allowed to
those who were disabled in the service of
the Southern Confederacy and is not pay
able to any one now drawing pension Of
equal amount on any other grounds.

WASHINGTON, July 19.--The Post to.
day says: The senatorial contest in Ten.
nessee is exciting much interest, from the
fact that Mr.. Whitthorne, who is at pres
ent serving Mr.. Jackson's unexpired term
in the senate, as the appointee of Gov.
Bate, is candidate for reelection mex
January against Gov. Bate himself. Mr..
Whitthonc claims that there was no
agreement of any sort between himself
and the governor when he was appointed,
and that he is under no obligation. At
present 1t looks as though Coy. Bate
would be the most successful candidate,
although 1t is likely from his large ex-
perience that Mr. Whitthorne would
make the more useful senator Mr.. Whit.
thorne is also candidate for the house
from his own district and is relying upon
the prestige he may gain by his election
as representative to help him in the sena.
