: A terrible affair occurred last Sat
urday night week at Birmingham,
Alabama. A man named Halves
was confined in jail charged with
numbering his wife and daughter.
Frenzied with Indignation by some
new proof of the mans guilt, a
crowd of citizens collected and adj
vanced on the Jail for the purpose
of taking the law in their own
hands and swinging the guilty
wretch from limb of the nearest
tree. The Sheriff with a large posse
of men was guarding the Jail, and
commanded the would-be-lynchers
to stop. Not needing the warning,
they were fred upon with dreadful
execution. Three men were killed
outright, seven others died in a few
hours, and a dozen or more were
seriously wounded. Excitement
has ran high in the city ever since,
popular indignation turning against
the officers of the law, and
only the presence of armed
troops preventing further trouble.

II is interesting to note para
graphs like the following which
we clip from the Now FORK Herald
of the 9Th inst.
.sThe Pottstoyn Iron Company
ask their nail workers to accept
twenty-five per cent. reduction in
wages, and they will open their
factory"
We would be glad to reconcile
this statement with the election
assurances given by the RepubIi-
cans to induce workers in the iron
industries to cast their vote for
Harrison, but we cannot.
=; Protection to the American work
ingman-is vindicated by the result
at the polls; but denied by the
actual, practical facts. These work
men who are, Immediately after the
election of Harrison, asked to work
for one-fourth less wages, are con
ifronted by condition not, theory.
Let them and every other man who
has for years been, and is still being
remorselessly robbed of his blood
and muscle by unjust laws for the
benefit of the privileged classes,
lay such facts to heart.

When Texas was admitted into
the Union in 1915, the terms agreed
to by the Texas convention and the
congress of the United States speci-
fed that Estates of convenient size,
not exceeding four in number and
having sufficient population" might
be formed out of it's territory, by
consent of the people of the state.
Now that the Republicans are
boasting of their intention to manu-
facture sufficient number of new
Republican states to answer their
purposes, it is quite natural that
Democratic eyes should turn in the
direction of the Lone Star state.
The national government is com
PEELED, by the terms of it's contract,
to accept the new states that would
be formed by such division, if the
people of Texas would only ask it,
but there is where the obstacle lies.
The Texans are nearly all good
Democrats and there is no trouble
in getting them to turn out and
vote when occasion requires it, but
they have so much pride in their
big state that they will not consent
to it's division even though their
party might gain control of both
houses of congress by it. We regret
that such is the case. Leaving pol
itical matters out of the question we
believe it would be better for the
people of Texas, as well as of the
whole country, to have this division
made. The interests of a popula-
ton as large as is, or shortly will
be, embraced within the boundaries
of Texas cannot fail to have diversi-
fed interest. Legislation that will
be satisfactory to one part of the
state will not be to the other and
rice versa. Usually, the smaller the
state. the more satisfactory its gov
eminent is to its peopIe.-Er-

We are sorry the Republican pa
pers of the State have tried to black
en- the fair name of West Virginia
by branding with fraud every effort
on the part of the people to correct
the election returns and bring to
justice the parties who have violat-
ed the law. Can it be possible that
these papers are afraid that some OF
their party friends will suffer? II
not, why not let the investigation
go on? That illegal votes were cast
and improper methods used, none
will deny Let us find out where
it was done, and then who did it
And then punish the guilty parties.
The people demand this and if we
are to have pure elections in this
State, the sooner these parties are
pointed out the better.

A bitter attack was made upon
Blaine last week by the Indianapolis
Ne,es, whose editor is close friend
of Gen. Harrison. In closing the
article, the Ne,cs says: "Blaine is
thoroughly distrusted and feared as
a corrupt and unsafe man by one
half the people of the country, and
he has lost the confidence and con
sideration of the thinking element
of his own party.

ACCIDENTAL KILLING. Yesterday
Gus. Wyley,a colored boy, about
eighteen years of age, was killed at
Tinkersville. 1t seems that he aud
a number of other boys were play
ing, and one of them had an open
knife in his hand.
During their sport one of his COM
panions showed young Wyley
against the knife which struck him
in the leg near the groin severing
an artery. WILEY died in few
minutes. 1t was entirely accidental.

Abraham Lincoln plainly foresaw
the era of aggregated wealth in the
hands of monopolies and trusts, and
penned this utterance not many
weeks before he died:
We may congratulate ourselves
that this cruel war is nearly to a
close 1t has cost vast amount of
treasury and blood The best blood
of the flower of American youth has
been freely offered upon our coun-
stry's alter that the nation might
live. 1T has been, indeed, a trying
hour for the republic, but l see in
the near future a crisis approaching
that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of our coun-
try. AS a result of the war, corpo-
rations have been, enthroned, and
an era of corruption in high places
will follow, and the money power
of the country will endeavor to pro-
long its reign by working upon the
prejudices of the people until all
wealth is aggregated in a few hands
and the republic is destroyed. /
feel at this moment more anxiety
for the safety of my country than
ever before, even in the midst OF
the war. God grant that my sus-
pieions may prove groundless.'
What Lincoln predicted Cleve-
land has realized as an accomplished
fact
Tho one is no more guilty OF
"pernicious and dangerous dema-
gogys than the other The decla-
rations of Cleveland may be taken
up one by one, critically analysed,
and there will be found abundant
confirmation of every danger
against which he warns the people
in some part or the other of the
country. The trouble is the Presi-
dent is not one of those doctors of
words who veil their real meaning
by soft phrases. His vocabulary is
limited to the honest, plain and
forciful declaration of his convic-
tions. He discards jugglery of
words that may stand for anything
or nothing.-PittSJurgA Post.

A successful test of the feasibility
of using crude oil for fuel on rail
roads was made last week by the
Toledo, Columbus and Southern
Railroad, over in Ohio. An engine
drew a passenger train from Toledo
to FindIay on fuel furnished by
crude petroleum. The trial was
such a success that the railroad
company announces it will have all
its engines arranged for the use OF
oil and do away with coal.

VIM. Il. Wilson, of the Second

being the only man elected to Con

jority of all the votes polled. His
plurality over Flick is 378, and ma

ures are given as follows: Wilson,

Gen. Harrison has been hunting
and has had good luck and plenty
of fun After March 4, like the
Frenchman who went after the
tiger, he will become the hunted
party, and then the fun won't be on
his side He may take consolation
in the fact, however, that about
fifteen-sixteenths of the otficeseek-
ing huntsmen won't bag any game,
and so he will have a surfeit OF
misery for his company.
