AN Austrian Murder Mystery.

From the LOndon TelegraDh.
A very remarkable trial Is about to take
place at the Cracow Assizes, several persons
occupying a high position in the n|eighbor-
hood being accused OF completely in the MUIR
der Of an elderly lady. the widow of the
immense fortune from the Carignan family,
with which she was connected. The Princess
MOntleart had lived since the death Of her
husband upon her estate at Myslenice. and
though she kept up great state she was i'm
many ways most parslmOnious, and was
known to have boarded up a large sum of
money, which she would not con-
fde to a banker or even put
last autumn, she found her living insensible
upon a sofa. A doctor was sent for at once,
but he pronounced life to be extinct, ami 40
suspicion OF foul play seems TO have been en-
tertained until after the funeral. But when
the strong boxes in which the Princess was
known to have kept her money, plate ana
jewels came to be opened IL was found that
they were empty.
A Judicial inquiry commenced, but nothing
definite cOulu be learned, and. though the ser
wants We're placed under arrest, the evidence
against them was Of the fimsiest description.
Before the inquiry began a stranger, alleg-
ing that he had been sent by the president of
the police, and who described himself a. the
Chevalier Won Schreier. came to the castle and
took an inventory Of the property. After he
had gone 10 was aseertained that he was UNI
known TO the police, but nothing more has
since been heard of MIN. One or two of the
arrested, and a number Of letters written IN
French have also been discovered which will.
IL is thought, throw some light upon this very
ms BteriOuS case.

Kicking Against England.

The people Of every hamlet IN America
are familiar with the protests maze by
the Irish people against British oppres-
SION in the Emerald Isle, and there are
few school children who are not familiar
with the historic struggle of u toretath'
ers with the mother country, and with the
causes that led to that struggle. Students
OF modern history are familiar with the
story of the conquest of India, the Sepoy
rebellion, how it was crushed, and of the
subsequent "paciicatiOn' of that country.
There are evidences that the spirit Of
resistance in India is not dead, but that
tits kept under subsection by cowardice
or prudence. 1t seems that the people Of
India are about to bring their cause be-
fore the high court Of public opinion in
all enlightened countries. India has
been noted for its literature and peculiar
civilization as well as its wealth for
many centuries. Many of her SON have
been educated in modern English schools
and colleges. Some OF these, who have
attained to a rather high degree Of Gull
ture. are making out a strong prinld
Jacie case against their English masters,
and through the latter they are making =
vigorous, and from a Buddhist point of view
a specious attack on the Christian re-
ligion. One of them has reached quite a
large auditory through the columns of the
North american BeUie10 for April. An
other Gopal Uriayak Joshee is now lectur-
ing in this country to Bob Ingersoll
societies, much to the %edificatiOn of the
Liberal liberals. The former makes his
attack pointedly against English OPP
preston, and only incidentally against
Christianity, while the latter attacks
Christianity directly, and incidentally
deals with misrule in India.
These and other politico-religio-literary
Indians are making a great mistake in
presenting their case in equity to the
world. They take the few inidels and
agnostics, with'whOm they very naturally
come into close contact, as representa-
tives of the ethical culture of Christen-
dom. They seem not to have discovered
the fact that English rule in India is a
commercial enterprise, and that the Eng
lish official missionary work in that
country does not represent the true mis-
sionary spirit OF Christianity. If the
representatives of India in the field of
literature expect to make an effective APP
peal to the enlightened Christian senti-
ment of the world, they must be very
careful to avoid attacking or sneerlng at
the Christian religion. This work they
should leave to their missionaries and
doctors of mysticism, who have already
made some conversions of nominal
Christians to Buddhism.

The Iowa Impeachments.

The Iowa Republicans who used TO
carry their State in elections almost
unanimously are unhappy. They have
not been happy for two or three years.
The fact is they have been overworked
and have become Tired. They have had
more than they could carry with very good
grace, and have found it necessary TO
make an effort to unload before this years
campaign fairly opens.
The Legislature OF that Sta'e has W
impeachments on its hands. One of the
cases is against the State Auditor, Brown,
who ia charged with having caused the
split in the Republican party and with
having reduced its majority TO an uncom-
fortably close figure. He was removed
from Office by GOV. Sherman, and rein
stated by the present GOV. Larabee. He
has strong friends as well as bitter
enemies. and it is pretty certain, to
judge from present appearances, that
mis- Impeachment will be the cause of
many heartburnings that will not be very
easily cured. If the Impeachment fails in
the Senate, it is believed hat the party
will be in a far worse condition than il
was oCAOlC thC Ciplb db PullhS"Vioh wv
i~naugurated. There are 30 articles
against the Auditor who has been
arraigned, plead poverty, and begged the
Senate to pay his counsel fees, which il
has agreed to do. The trial is to begin
Monday, April 10.
The other impeachment is against
Judge Hayes, vino has played havoc in
decisions on the prohibition law OF Iowa.
There was quite a scene in the House
when it voted on the question OF present
ing the articles. Some of the Democratic
members who espoused the cause of the.
accused withdrew IN the confusion, and
alter the vote was announced 1t was
found there was no quorum voting. Then
the absent members returned and guyed
the others without any regard tor dignity
or proprlety.
The Republicans feel very unkindly to-
wards the Democrats for not showing a
disposition to help them in their troubles.
The fact is the Democrats seem to think
it is a family fight among the Republi-
cans, n they are disposed to do what
they a to keep up the fight and make it
as amusing and destructive as possible.
There is a promise Of fun In Iowa when
these cases come to trial, and it is pretty
certain that there Will be a great deal of
fun developed during the summer cam
paigns throughout that State.

1t seems to be agreed in Atlanta, from
what the journal says, that only money
enough can be raised to build a narrow
gauge road TO H%awkinsville, and it is
claimed that such a road will be built soon.
1t will probably be wise in the Gate City
people to abandon the idea of building a
railroad to tide-water, and to be content
with adopting the nearest route to arte-
sian water, since the Peachtree street
well has proved a delusion and a a
Hawkinsyille is a live city and its arte-
sian water is genuine and Of the best
quality. Moreover, it begins its prohibition
era soon and Will have a kind of fellow
feeling for Atlanta. Hawkinsyille will
assist in building the road. It's business

eddy popular, but il the road should be
built they would probably give bond not

people OF Admission, Rome, Griffin and
other places, and begin at once to gobble

ReductIon OF Whisky Consumntion

Reduction of Whisky Consumption.
The question "Does prohibition pro-
hibit!' has been asked thousands of
times, and It has usually been answered
''yes'' or ''nO,' according as the person
answering was a PrOhIbitionist or not.
The other day Mr.. George Hubbell, Sec
rotary of one of the largest distillIng
companies in the country, was in Cincin-
natl and made a statement which greatly
surprised the newspapers of that city.
In an interview he frankly told the re-
porter that since the recent prohibition
agitation began the consumption of
whisky has decreased fully 40 per cent.
When as ked where the effects of the
prohibition movement was felt most, he
replied: sin the South. Look at Geor-
gia, with its 1874 counties; 1i3 have pro-
hibited the sale OF liquors and another
county will fall into line in a short time.
In South Carolina AZ counties are dry
as we call them; in Alabama 81, in Ar
kansas IS, while just one-half the coun-
ties in Mississippi are dry There are
six dry parishes in Louisiana, and even
in Texas, which is held up as an example
of all that is tough, has 20 dry counties,
where whisky cannot be had for love or
money"
He says that comparatively little
whisky is smuggled into the dry counties,
and that the whisky trade OF all the little
country stores in the South is to all in
tents and purposes broken up. When
asked why the distillers did not help their
patrons fight the Prohibitionists, ne an
swered: "Oh, it has been tried, but they
We're too strong for us"
This appears to be a very fair state
ment. There are probably very few whole
sale liquor dealers who will not acknowl-
edge that their trade is reduced to an APP
probable extent whenever a county in
their territory ''goes dry" What the dis
tillers and large dealers say is very good
evidence. They have the best means OF
knowing whether the total consumption
OF whisky is decreasing or not. That is
the true test Of the question.
The statement of MIR. Hubbell probably
surprises the ProhibitIOnists almost as
much as it does the Observation-Disclosures
While both parties have had reasons to
believe that there has been a considerable
reduction in the consumption OF whisky,
very few probably have had any idea thai
the reduction was as great as 40 per cent
as estimated by one of the largest West
ern distillers.

Bismarck Narrow Escape.

- tfP 4 - ~ANtN
An illustration how great issues may depend
upon Insignificant incidents is furnished by a
passage in the career of Prince Bismarck.
About the year 1850 the Regent Of the Duchy
of Anhalt-BernDurg requested the Prursian
government TO name several men from whom
one might be chosen for high state office IN
the duchy Toe request was complied with,
ana among the names was that of lotto Won
Bi marck IN Schonhausen."
Bismarck and another were ordered to pre-
sent themselves on a certain day before the
Regent for demonstration OF their fitness for
the position to be filed. Both Travelled ac-
c|ordlngly TO the centre of the duchy, but, as
Ill luck or luck would have it, the axle OF the
carriage In which Bismarck journeyed broke
on the way, and he was compelled to stay, a
nearest town.
Next day he resumed his journey, but he
arrived y hours after the time appointed Tor
the interview. In the meantime his rival had
the post. So Bismarck returned home, and IN
time became Imperial Chancellor instead.

Crab Mortgages AGAIN.

Over two years age the MORNING NEWS
began to warn the farmers of Georgia
against the grab mortgage system of for
eign money lenders. Hundreds, perhaps
thousands protited by the warnings which
were repeatedly given, and avoided as
Stunning obligations which would have
placed their homes at the mercy of merci-
less alien corporations. We believed that
the grab mortgage system would speedily
result in practically robbing a large num-
Der Of worthy but imprudent citizens Of
their lands, and mat the probabilities
were thai it would he followed by a sys-
tenn of %landlordism that would be as in
tollerable az are the rack rents of Ireland
and Scotland.
1t is to be regretted that all the farmers
of Georgia and of the Southern States did
nottake our advice Many mortgages are
nov falling due in consequence of the
n~on-payment of interest, and new suits
for foreclosure are constantly being insti-
tuted. and in some instances the mort.
gagged land Is being sold by the officers OF
the law.
1t does seem as II in the future no intel
llgent mar would be caught in the net oil
these foreign land sharks, but still their
agents are making tempting offers OF
''money to lend' IN every part of the
State.
No doubt money is needed by the far
mers of Georgia, and there is no objection
to the borrowing of it from foreign CAPT.
talists, if it can be borrowed on reasona
BILE terms. But when money is offered al
s per cent. and by an ingenious system
of discounts and other charges it is made
to cost the borrower l. TO 10 per cent. and
the mortgage securities are so worded az
to make it extremely probable that the
borrower will forfeit mis- lands, after re
ceiving less than one-third OF low valua.
ton therefor, the farmer had better do,
cline the offer. q.
