Chief Connolly, of atlanta, was in good
humor Tuesday at the station house.
"Now, there is letter." he laughed,
''that is a fair sample Of the dozens that

AN INFAMOUS SYSTEM.

The convict-lease system, which
still prevails in the majority of the
Southern states, says the Star, is
continually furnishing most glaring
illustrations of its intrinsic barbar-
ity and debasing influence, and it is
deplOrable that the efforts made to
abolish it are successfully resisted by
powerful beneficiaries of the system.
Gangs of convicts are leased out to
railroad and mining corporations
and wealthy employers. The gross
est cruelties and immortality are
permitted to pass with impunity
and the public opinion in those
states is so Indifferent and apathetic
upon the subject and the influence
of the contractors and prison Off
cials who profit by the system is so
great that the system is still per-
mitted, although it has been prohi-
bited by law i'm all the Northern and
Western states.
1t combines the worst features of
slavery. The auction block, the
blood-hounds, and the whipping
post are its accompaniments. For
this reason, perhaps, its barbarous
features are condoned by the late
employers of slave labor but it con-
stitutes national disgrace which
should be met by the indignant pro-
test of the people everywhere.
Last week in Dalles, Texas, five
white convicts belonging to a gang
leased by the prison authorities
to the Missouri Pacific Railroad
Company made n dash for liberty at
the hazard of their lives. The guard,
who was armed with a double
barreled shotgun, killed two of the
convicts and captured Il third. Two
escaped by swimming the Trinity
River and hiding in the woods. The
balance of the gang will be held un-
der more severe discipline if possi-
ble, and no mercy will be shown to
any who may be suspected of plan
ming an escape.
Organized labor everywhere
should endeavor to bring this mat
ter to the attention of candidates for
congress and the State Legislatures
and to secure if possible their pledges
to oppose the lease system nd:secure
its abolition.

The City,.

They do neither plight nor wed
In the City Of the Dead, r.s..s
In the city where they sleep away the
But they lie. while Ger them range
Winter blight aud summer change.
And a hundred happy Yhisperings Of
flowers ... .-t4t,l,...
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night,
For their vision is Of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh,
In that Burg Of BY and By,
Where the streets have grasses growing
cool and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob or song
No, they neither sigh nor sing,
Though the robin be a-wing,
Though the leaves Of autumn march
million strong.
There is only rest and peace
In the City Of Surceasc
From the failings and the wailings meath
the sun,
And the wings Of the swift years
Beat but gently DER the biers,
Making music to the Slecpers every one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them it secmeth best,
For they lie at ease and know that life is
done.

A REIGN OF TERROR.

Nothing feebler than these words
can describe the condition of our
colored fellow-citizens in some parts
of the South. Farmers and me-
chanics, professional men, and
others who are incumbents of offices
to which they have been elected by
properly qualified voters-reputable
men are driven from their homes
never to return. Is America-Our
boasted Misunderstanding rapidly
back toward the clark ages" Are
we really enjoying high grade of
civilization, or are we in state Of
barbarism? If the accounts given
in the Southwestern Christian Advo-
cate be true, and we do not question
them, Uncle Sam ought at once to
send troops to Ford Bend county,
Texas, and to any other places
where like outrages occur and quell
them at any cost Of treasure and
life. If there are not regulars
enough, let volunteers be called for,
and thousands of those who in '6l
wore the blue, and their sons, will
go to the front and make a complete
job of it. Speed the day when this
shall really be land of liberty for
all men.-P. c. Advocate.

The old man hustled about the barn
with him, helping to harness young
Morgan to the new phaeton, and
leading the spunky animal to the
road. Away went the happy Joe
Walker in search of his bride. A
few rods distant he found her, as
per previous arrangement, and, re-

A HAPPY RUNAWAY MATCH.

who had a wealthy but eccentric
father The old gentleman was a
stuy farmer and counted his
wealth by thousands.
The sparkling eyes the winning
ways of Minnie Danforth made her
suitors numerous; but her father
was particular, and none succeeded
in making headway against him or
her.
In the meantime Minnie had a
true and loyal lover in secret. His
name was Joe Walker, a farmer,
employed by old Danforth who had
entrusted Joe with the management
Of his place for two or three years.
But a very excellent farmer and
good manager was the plain unas-
suming but good looking Joe Walk
er. He was only %, and he fell in
love with joyous Minnie Danforth,
his employers only daughter.
Minnie returned his love earnestly,
truly and frankly, and promised to
wed him at any favorable time.
Things went on merrily for
while, but old Danforth discovered
certain glances and attentions be-
tween them which excited his anger
and suspicious. Very soon after Joe
learned the old mans mind indi-
rectly in regard to his future dis
posal of Minnie's hand, and he
quickly saw that his case was a
hopeless one, unless he resorted to
a stratagem.
BY agreement, an apparently set
tied GOODNESS was observed by the
lovers towards each other for five
or six months, and the father saw
with satisfaction, that his previous
suspicious and fear had all been
premature. Then, by mutual con-
sent, Joe absented himself from the
house at evening; and night after
night, for three months, did he dis
appear as soon as his work was
finished, to return home only at
late bedtime. This was unusual
and old Danforth determined to
know the cause of it.
Joe frankly confessed that he was
in love with a mans daughter, but
that the old man refused to enter
tain his application for the young
lady's hand.
This was capital-just what old
Danforth most desired. This salts
fled him that he had made mis-
take in regard to his own child, and
he would help to get Joe married,
and thus stop all further suspicious
or trouble at home. So he said:
"Well, Joe, is she boxom lass?"
ayes sir" said Joe. "Ihat is
other folks say so. Pm not much

"And you like herr"
ayes, sir, yes"
"Then marry her." said old Dam
