Ono Of the Mob Said to be a Divinity
Student


NEW ORLEANS, April 24-The Times
Democrats Clinton, Miss. special says
The report of an outrage committed
Sunday night has just been received. A
promise Of speedy death prevented the
party from making it known sooner. At
about midnight eleven masked men went to
the house Of Ellis Young, a witness for the
defense in the Hamilton case, hauled him
out with rope and severely beat
him. He was told that he was whipped for
lying about Roderlck Gambrill. Presenting
pistols at his head, they demanded to know
what amount he was paid for testifying
against Gambril. With death staring him
in the face he declared that he did not re-
ceive a cent. The mob then released him
and ordered him to leave the county within
three days. Young recognized one OF his
assailautS as divinity student at Missis-
sippi college,

The Farmers Less in Debt Than at any
Time During the War.


lime During the War.
BALTIMORE, April 24.-Nearly five pages
OF this weeks Manufacturers Record will
| be filed with special letters from the Gov
ernors and agricultural commissioners Of
Southern States upon the financial condi-
tlon OF the farming interests Of the South
and the general progress OF that section. In
every case the farmers are said to be more
prosperous than for many years and proof
or tins Is given in the great decrease in the
number aud amount Of the mortgages and
crop liens. The farmers are les in debt
than at any time since the war and are

OF the farmers aid a steady Improvement

FAIR SAMPLE
Hon s. A Jonas, writing Of Mississippi,
winch Is a fair sample, says: There has
never been a time since the war when the
mississippi farmers were as nearly out of
debt as at present. There is not to-day one
farm mortgage where there were twenty
ten years ago, and in fact, it may be conf
IDENTIFY asserted that small farmers are, in
many parts of tie State, almost entirely
free from debt. The crop of 1851
paid tens of thousands of our
farmers out of debt and left them in SPLEEN
dld condition to enter upon the new year"
The growth Of the South in other lines is
shown by an increase from 1881 10 1887 of
S9l7,0JJ,OJ0 in the assessed value OF prop
erty, notwithstanding the fact that an inn
mense amount OF property, including rail
roads, new factories etc, is exempt from
taxes, and hence is not included in these
figures.

to be made state demanded division,
it should be granted. The traditional
policy and justice demand that the
voice of the people in each part of
the state or territory to be divided
should be heard. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the country was
convulsed with civil war, and it was pro-
posed to divide Virginia, there was a
nominal, perhaps the only feasible
recognition of the will of each
section in the matter. North
Dakota voted very emphatically
against division. Under the prac-
tice OF rule referred to. its declaration
would not be ignored or submerged i'll
larger vote elsewhere. The fair and
reasonable recourse then was to secure
admission as an entirety, with the pro-
viso that two states should be had when
ever there was concurrence between the
two sections in desiring it. Should not
this satisfy both sections? Objection
was had to the omnibus, as it seemed to
carry with it assured fatality to the Oc-
cupants and a strong suspicion of the
absence of good faith. The GLOBE has
very little patience with those who
would put petty or temporary partisan
advantage in the scales against the
rights and welfare of 600,0O0 people.

Special to the Globe.
VALLEY CITY, March 3O.-Next Mon
day the battle that was fought between
the high license and local option parties
at the November election will be fought
a second time in the city election. But
the grounds upon which the local option
party then based its arguments and con-
tended for supremacy are now mate
rally changed and greatly weakened by
the passage of the very law which they
so loudly advocated. Then every pro-
hibitiOnist felt himself valiant knight
to push the crusade against the saloon
power till every liquor MOslem would be
Swept from the face of the country and
their feet never again deSecrate the
sands of the city. Yet when the time
for action came, when circumstances
called loudly for tine fulfillment of their
advertised promises, the courage OF the
once brave and enthusiastic knights
failed, and they sank back in silence,
satisfied. no doubt, with the mere pas.
sage of the law. Three months have
now passed since the time when the
prohibition law went into effect, and
yoJ, uuIlllS tulS pellOti, Iot d oIHSlO oI
rest has been made for the violation of
the law, although
LIQUOR HAS BEEN SOLD
openly and continually, either in the
SO-called sOft-drink saloons or under the
form of club rooms. If the PrOhibi-
tionists believe the law to be valid, and
that the election was ordered
in strict accordance with the
statutory provisions, then why do
they not make some effort, or, at least,
some pretended effort for its enforce
ment? Again, on the other hand, if they
doubt the validity of the law to such an
extent as not to attempt its enforcement,
why, in the name of consistency, did
they advocate and adopt the law in the
first place! In either case their position
is inconsistent and entirely indefensible.
The better and more conservative class
of citizens
ARE DISSATISFIED
with the operation and results of the
prohibitory law, for it has destroyed the
needed revenue from license without
any compromising gain. If the known
results of local option fulfilled the prom
Uses of it's advocates, it would not suffer
from the condemnation of having Sc
cured the passage of measure that is a
standing refutation of the pledges made
in it's behalf. Thus, the Prohibition
party coming to the city polls under the
ban of their own condemnation, there
is no doubt but that they will be easily
and completely defeated.

NEEDED LEGISLATION,
presented by Mr.. Concklin. He urged
that education be made compulsory on
the lines of the science of government
and political economy; advocated a
change in the uSury and exemption
laws; favored courts of cOncilliation;
denounced the formation of combina-
tiOns and trusts; supported a PROPOSE
ton compelling civil officers to do
their duties. AS touching rail
roads, it was shown that many
radical changes were needed
and instances cited where road has
charged 81 cents per 100 pounds for car
rying freight $50 miles, and charged As
cents per 100 pounds for carrying freight
40 miles! Passengers are carried at
from to cents per mile. as the victim
is willing OF able to pay. This resOlu-
ton received unanimous Endorsement:
''That we favor the enactment OF law
by the next territorial legislature that
will reduce to the lowest consistent
price the present local freight and pas
senger rates in the territory; that we
approve of the interstate commerce law
and the attempt of the commission
toward it's cOnScientiOu enforcement,
but recommend that congress increase
the power of the commission to estab-
lish reasonable basis of freight and
passenger rates between every ship
ping point in the United States"
4 Concerning taxation and assessment,
Mr.. Crosse believed it would be perfectly
right for the parties holding the $4,000
mortgages in Dakota to pay the taxes
thereon. 1t is recognized fact that
railroads do not pay their share of tax;
the gross earnings law should be re-
pealed; put the tax On the cost of build
ing the road and equipment.
