tic necessities. and this seems 10 be
entirely unproyided for in this pro-
posed scheme TO serve the country.
Small compensation for this neglected
need is found in the further purpose
here announced and covered by the
declaration that if after the changes
ARE .dy mentioned there still re-
mains larger revenue than is requi-
site for the wants OF the government
the entire internal taxation should
be repealed rather than surrender
any part of our protective system.
Our people ask relief from the uns
due and unnecessary burden of tariff
taxation now resting upon them.
They are offered instead free tobacco
and free whisky. They ask for
bread and they are given stone.
The implication contained in this
party declaration that desperate
measures are justified or necessary
to save from destruction or surrender
what is termed our protective sys-
tenn should confuse no one. The ex-
istence of such system is entirely
consistent with the regulation of the
extent to which it should be applied
and the correction of its abuses.
Of course in a country as great as
ours, with such a wonderful variety
Of interests, often leading in entirely
different directions, 1t is difficult, if
not impossible, to settle upon q pers
feet tariff plan. But in accomplishs
ing the reform we have entered upon,
the necessity of which is so obvious
that I believe we should not be COM
tent with n reduction Of the revenue,
involving the prohibition Of importa~
tions and tho removal of the internal
tax upon whiskey. It can be better
and more safely done within the lines
OF granting actual relief to the people
in their means of living, and at the
same time giving impetus to our dos
nestle enterprises and turthering our
national welfare. II misrepresentas
tions Of our purposes and motives are
to gain credence and defeat our press
ent effort in this direction, there
seems 70 be no reason why every en-
deayor in the future to accomplish
! revenue reform should be likewise at-
tscked and with a like result. And
yet no thoughtful man can fail to see
in the continuance of the present
burdens of the people and the alb
straction by the government of the
currency Of the country inevitable

All danger will be ayerted by time.
y action. The difficulty of applying
q remedy will never be less, and the

With q firm faith in the intelligence
aud patriotism Of our country, and re-
lying upon the conyiction that miss

North Carolina Lynchlng.

PLYMOUTH, Jan. 2S.-Lynch law ran
riot here Thursday night and yesterday
morning. People we're Mortified to find
that three negro prisoners had been
taken from the county jail by masked
men, conveyed to the woods on the out
skirts Of town. tied TO trees and then
shot to death. Their bodies were
found In the position in which the lynch
ers left them, securely bound to trees and
riddled with bullets. The lynching
party gathered at the Jail shortly before
midnight and demanded the jsilor
should deliver to them Jack Blount, his
brother Mathew Blount, and Patterson
Spruitt, all colOred who had been jailed
charged with the murder OF John Daw-
son. peddler, on New Years day last.
The jsilOr refused. but was overpowered
and was forced to permit the men to be
taken away. When the woods were
reached the victims begged for mercy,
but no attention was paid to their out
cries except the stern reply that they
would be given few moments to pray,
when the lynchers who were armed with
shot guns, muskets and pistols. began
their bloody work and fired volley after
volley until the wretches were dead.
Matthew Blcunt was preacher OF some
local notoriety, and had previously lost
an arm.

The chootaws Exercised.

AToKA, /. T., Jan. 2S.-The Choctaws
are greatly exercised over their net pro-
coed claim against the U. s. govern
ment for property which had to be
abandoned in Mississippi and Alabama
when they were removed west. This
property consisted of improvements,
houses, fences, ETC., on lands sold
to the government and for which
the government pledged In trea-
ty they should be paid. 1t
has never been paid and now amounts
to the round sum of $3.G00,C00. Ii has
been allowed by congress two or three
times and also by the U. s. court of
claims. About half Of 1t is pledged to
lawyers and other middlemen. The last
Choctaw council passed some kind of
legislation obnoxious to these attorneys,
and they are now obstructing any meas.
ure In congress appropriating money
for these claims. Called session
OF council was held In November to
compromise the affair with the attOr-
neys, but failed to effect anything. The
net proceeds of the money will hardly
reach the Indians this year. There is
talk Of another called session OF the
council to adjust this matter,

OswEGo, N. Y, Jan. 2S.-The storm
ragged worse than ever last night. Deep
cuts on railroads that had just been
cleared of snow were once more filled
up. The Thermometer was ten degrees

Lackawanna and Western road ia also
badly blocked, and trains that are run

In years and every effort lie being made
to raise 1t, but with little effect, as the
high winds fill cuts as soon as cleared.
The delay in the arrival and departure
Of mails, owing to the snow blockade
continues, and was worse last night
than during the preceding twenty -four
hours. Trains have not been SO
irregular for several years. The Chicago
express over the New York Central
due at $40 last night did not arr We till
lilo O'Clock this morning. All trains on
the Pennsylvania railroad between here
and Washington. ID. c., are from one TO
one and one-bslf hours late Chicago ex-
press on New York Central due here at
$40 a. m. Is five hours late. All trains
from the west on the Erie are from four
to five hours late. New York Central
Is making no attempt to send out
