 year, and of course it took talent to
 perform such 2 feat. What if Barnes did have mustache and was q spare youth of 9 when he stood on the scaffold in the presence of 2000 or 5000 people and was not the man of two score and ten as shown by the Headlights wonderful photographer. Stll this only showed how reprehens sible the facts were when they re- fused to fall into line with the plans of an ambitious editor. Doubtless he felt his righteous indignation burn within him at the audacity Of the fate, which should dare to make the facts connected with the subject of his sketches SO miscrably out of | joint with his brilliant photographic al genius. The question is if the Headlight man wanted to show of hrs extra with old advertising cuts, what right Lee Barnes or Hoffman had to set down on the effort by refusing to look like the ed itor's cuts. Barnes should have been promptly punished for not laying aside his identity on the spot and Tn every instance in order to accom- modate himself in resemblance to the Headlights heterogeneous cuts at one and the same time. There's nothing like high art and enterprise.

THE newspapers call Ohio's pres ent legislature grab all legislature, because it has succeeded in grabbing by fraud and otherwise everything Tn sight politically which was grab bible. They managed to grab tue sen ate which had democratic majority of three, by busting tue four demo- ocratic senators from Cincinnati, and as soon as they grabbed this they grabbed the congressional delegation by gerrymandering the state so as to make the congressional delegation stand fifteen republicans and seven democrats in place of ten republicans and twelve democrats as at present. The democrats speak of contesting the legality of the arrangement. by means of observing the old form of the districts Tn their congressiona! elections and then carry the contest to the house of representatives which IS democratic for final decision.

-Maxwell tne man on triaI ro

Maxwell, the man on trial for the murder of Preller, in St. Louis has taken Q new and decidedly novel course to free himself. He has sud denly discovered that he not only killed Preller, but that he did it ac- cidentaIly andwhile treating him as physician. The story Maxwell tells is plausible one, but it con- tains some very large loop holesy through which justice may reach and secure his neck for the rope. He admits having killed Preler with chloroform, the medium through which the murdered man died as was shown by the postmertem exam nation. The prisoner excuses his neglect to make known at once the death of his patient, as any medical man under sueu circumstances would have done, by alleging that he was so throughlv frightened and grieyed that Eothing but liquor would drown his sorrow. It will be, remembered, however, that he fe- mained sufficiently sober to conceal the body of the murdered man, keep himself in quiet seclusion from the moment Preller died, purchase tick ct to San Francisco, and endeavor to escape to New Zealand It is more than probable that the court and jury will tske little stock in his story, and that hls neck will stretch.

Tnr Gazette concludes an article

TIE Gazette concludes an article on the subject of land ownership by alien land owners Tn these words:
 "Oaly American citizens should own American soil. Our valuable land should not be permitted to pass into the hands of persons who are not only spectators, but who do not saink enough of this country and it's institutions to become citizens. It is best to call halt now" ; Which is the proper sentiment precisely.

FoR Il genuine specimen of enter prise, combined with thigh art' as the Gazette would call it, we may be permitted to refer to the Headlight extra issued on the occasion of the execution of Lee Barnes, at Dover on last Friday. It's no customary thing to see an illustrated extra in these parts, and it's calculated to make the natives open wide their optics when they see the thrilling confession of murder decorated by fac smile cuts fresh from New York of the person of the murderer. We say fresh from New York, for so the editor stated and of course he would not think of trusting such variety of cuts as was displayed in his extra to any city not able to furnish up to the largest demand. The case was an urgent one and possessed of many difficulties and it required a place of large capacities and much brains to meet it. Lee Barnes the murderer had to be done up according to the Headlights peculiar taste of high art SC as to be shown up in good va  ricty regardless of the facts in the ease, by which 1t was necessary for him to be transmogriiied from the snug proportions of New York

in the general conference of the M. F. C., south, now in session in Rich
 mond, Va. on Wednesday the 18th inst. On the first ballot II names were voted for without any choice. On the second ballot were elected, w. W. Duncan, D. D., Professor of Mental and Moral Science in Wof- ford College, $. C., c. B. Galloway, D. D., Editor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate, and F. R. Hen
 drix, D. D., President of Central Col lege, Missouri. On tue 3rd and last ballot J. s Key, D. D., of the South Georgia conference was elected. The whole nun Der of votes in the confer
 ence was 243, necessary to a choice l22. Dr. Duncan received 152, Dr. Galloway 136 and Dr. Hendrix 122, and Dr. Key on the 3rd ballot l26. pr. Duncan was born at Randolph Macon College, Mecklenburg Co.,, Va, Dec. 27th, 1889, and is therefore in his filth year. He was elected to his position in Woiford College Tn 1875, and remained there till his election as bishop. Dr. Galloway is a Mississippian and was born on the 18th day of Sept, 1S49, and is there fore not quite 37 years of age. He graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1868 and entered the ministry in the Mississippi confer ence the same year and remained there until elected editor of the N. O.. Christian Advocate in the place of Dr. Linus Parker, who was elected bishop at the session of tine General Conference Tn 'S2. He is the young
 est man ever elected bishop in the church, and his rise IS phenominal, being elected over many strong men and able and in the prime of life. His election will be surprise to the church. Dr. Hcndrlx only 2 years Dr. Galloway's senior, or 39 years old, was born Tn Howard county, Mo-, May 17th, 1S47, and has just completed his 39th year, and is a graduate of Central College, Mo. He also graduated at Wesleyan Uni versity in 1867, and also at Union Theological Seminary in New York City in 1869, and entered the Miss
 ouri conference. The same year short ly after his trip around the world with Bishop Marvin in 1877, he was elected President of Central College, his alma mater, where he has re- mained since. He is above tho me dium height and weight and is said to be fine specimen of manhood. Dr. J. s. Key is Georgian, having been born in Lagrange, in chat state, July IS, 1929, which makes him nearly 57 years of age. He was graduated at Emory College, Geor- 1 gia, Tn 1S4S, and entered the Geo. Conference the following year. At the division of that conference he was assigned to work in the South Georgia Conference. He is what they call one of the field hands, hay ing tussled with the circuits and dis tricts all hls life and the only one among the newly elected bishops who has. One noted coin cident with the new bishops is that one of them, Dr. Key,
 was born in 1929. Another Dr. Duncan, in 1899 and another, Dr. Galloway, in 1S49. The exception to the 9 was Dr.
 Hendrix and he got as close to it as he could to remain on the lucky odd number 1S47, and it will be observed he was elected by bare majority. The figure nine was cer- tainly lucky number Tn this cler-

THE CRIME.

Barnes statement is pretty much the same as he made in the Cullens trial after he himself was convicted. It differs however in one material point from his testimony: He stated then that either Cullens or Watson or both of them, struck the dying man with the ax, and that he him self did the shooting, but did not strike with the ax. His testimony and statement were strongly corrobo rated by circumstances, and the two negroes who were playing the game at cards with Hoffman when Cullens and Watson returned to the scene Of the murder the first time, corrobo rated the statement of the three up- on that point in the trial of Barnes and of Cullens. Your reporter was present at both trials, and could not make a more correct statement of the whole case than Barnes has done. That statement is as nearly a full and correct detail of this foul mur- der, as will ever be known, and firmly believe that Barnes hss ap- proximated the truth as closely as he could do so without duplicating his friends who, not at the time, know of the murder, but who gave him the assistance that any mans true friend would render when it was needed.
 Thus ends the sickening tragedy; and it is to be hoped that we will never again see it's repetltion in thls country. Three meu deliberately plan and put into execution one of the most diabolical assassinatIons that has ever blotten the records of our courts, or stained the fair name of the state; ONE ALONE receives the just and severe punishment of the law for his crime; the other, the guiltiest william thate ever cheated the galiows, or went unwhippcd of justice is tried by jury upon the same testimony, strengthened by his own statement, aud receives the merciful and plti- ful punishment of twenty one years in tue penitentiary; Watson, the last of the three, gave the state the benefit of his testimony, and in con sequence received immunity from punishment.
 Barnes tragic end has it's moral; young man full Of strength, vigor and hope, with q life of usefulness and happiness before hun, choose instead of the right the wrong path, and as the history of the world sanctioned by our knowledge of and experience with mankind teaches, he has reaped the harvest sown in crime. Let us hope that those young men and boys who witnessed this execution will ever remember that

part of social end political life as the
desire for gain to the exclusion of
proper consideration of character.
"Will it pay?" seems to be the great
thought of the masses, and financial re-
muneration their guiding star. And
yet, history narrows down in this re-
spect to the undeniable fact that good
character has ever been most valuable
of all the considerations of life. Proof
of this is as easily distinguished in the
rise and fall of governments as in the
success and failure of individuals. A
bad character, combined with vast
estate, may give years of physical pleas
ure and apparent happiness. But there
is no sure foundation or vitality to such
an existence, and whatever benefit it
has is only temporary. The source of
that life which has always stood the
test of time, bequeathing real happi-
ness from generation to generation is a
good character-yirtue and truth, and
it is as truly beyond gold and silver in
its worth as it is unpurchasable. j.

Character.


Written for THE TIMES.
There is no subject so generally mis-
understood as that of character, repu-
tation very often taking its place in the
estimation of the world. Indeed, if
character and reputation were allowed
their proper positions, many who are in
high places woulu descend, and multi
tudes of the lowly would be raised.
Character is true; reputation may be
false. Character comes from within /;
reputation is only on the outside.
Character is wllata man is; reputation,
what he seems. There exists no more
timely subject to-day than the head
line of these thoughts, for few things so
prominently assert themselves in every
