It is every mans privilege to discuss
the affairs of the nation, and it is his
duty to Investigate matters and vote the
way he thinks right; but it is neither
his privilege nor his duty to in any way
browbeat or bulldoze another man into
thinking or voting his way. We don't
care what a mans politics arc. So long
as he is man we respect him, and the
nero fact that his belief is contrary to
ours doesn't lower him in our estima-
ton one particle. We know of no way
of telling whether man is labor re-
former, prohibitionist, a democrat OF
republican, unless he tells us, or we ask
him, and we never do that, as we don't
consider it any Of our business. Elk

SUDDEN DEATHS.

Heart diseases most frequently results
from neglect or improperly treated
rheumatism. 1t more often follows
mild rheumatism than the severe kind,
because severe rheumatism receives
prompt treatment, while the mild form
is often neglected and left to work its
way to theheart. Persons who suppose
themselves suffering from heart disease
they have pain in the region of the
heart, or palpitation, seldom have any
disease of that organ. In nine cases
out ten, they are sufferers from dyspep.
sia--nOthing more. Congestion of the
lungs is most frequently caused by a
sudden change from the heart of an i'll
ventilated room or railroad cars, or
street car, to the cold air outside, with
out being properly protected by sufii
cient clothing; hence, many persons
thus seized drop dead in the streets.

EASTMAN, Ga, Feb. 4.-[Special. =
Hubbard Harrell, a colored boy 10 years
old, was made drunk, and going to the
home of his brother-in- law, James
Pope, he killed three children. Filling
large kettle, used for washing hogs,
with boiling water, Harrell com.
menced the work by inducing one OF
the children to entirely undress after
which he tripped the little fellow and
landed him in the kettle, where he was
boiled alive. The next child resisted,
but Harrell struck her to the ground
with an iron bar and while she was still
insensible, threw her into the caldron
with the boiled corpse of her brother.
The remaining child was the youngest
of the trio, and picking it up by the
ankles, Harrell was beating its head
against tree when, attracted by its
cries, the parents appeared, and the
Young murderer fed. The little ones

the building took fire and burned so
rapidly that $1,000 damage was
done in a few minutes. Harrison's
head and face were completely
shorn of a full head of hair and beard,
and his blue uniform turned to dark
brown by the action of the acids. Two
other men were blown off their feet,
carried through the air and thrown to
the ground and partially stunned. The
escape of a dozen employees in the
room was miraculous. The fire depart
ment extinguished the flames with the
above loss. The explosion was caused
by the bursting of an oil tank.

Is it not time to settle the mining
difficulty in Pennsylvania?
Combined capital cannot afford-on
the low plane ofmoney alone-to starve
and freeze the miners into submission
to terms which they regard as oppres-
sive.
The latest communication of the
miners to Mr.. Corbin says:
This great strike will come to an end
in Il IS than thirty minutes, providing
you grant to your employees the follow
ing:
First-That they have the right to
organize.
Second-That when difficulties arise
between the company and the en-
ployes these questions shall be settled
by arbitration.
And these conditions, they declare,
twill not interfere with the manage
ment of the road nor shut the Coal and
Iron Company out of any market"
The Reading Company will put itself
in very bad light before the public if
it shall refuse to consider them.
