Hawes Found Guilty.

Birmingham, May 3.--The eleventh
day Of ihe Hawes triad was the last.
Solicitor Hawkins made the closing
speech this morning, occupying less
than two hours Judge Green charged
the jury and the court adjourned for
dinner. A; 8 80 o'clock, having been
out over three hours the jury came in
and returned a verdict OF "guilty,"
fixing the penalty at death. Hawes'
firmness was unshaken. He accepted
the verdict as man having expressed
himself all the while as looking upon
his conviction in Jefferson county AZ

Is 1t O Blunderl

On Friday President Harrison ap.
pointed mis- brother, Major Carter b.
Harrison OF Murfreesborough, to be
United States Marshal for the Middle
District of Tennessee. Is not this a
political blunder?
1t is, OF course, quite possible that
Major Harrison may be the best posi-
BILE man for the Office, and that his ad-
ministration of it may turn out in ey-
cry respect useful and advantageous
to the public service. Yet there can
be no question that in the popular
judgement, and in the opinion Of ex-
perienced and critical politicians, the
President who appoints his own rela.
tive to such post is led into an error
which no fidelity or ability on the
part OF the relative can rectiIy or OBJ

The Oklahoma Boomerangers.

The rush into Oklahoma was wild
and weird. The rush out OF it prom
ises to even wilder. 1t has already
begun. All the land worth taking has
been seized and thousands, disap-
pointed, footsore and weary, have
taken the back track.
There is no occasion for surprise.
Those who were not carried away by
the excitement knew how it would be.
1t was not necessary that they should
know anything of the character Of the
soil or the climate in general way.
1t has never been pretended that the
Oklahoma lands are the most fertile
on earth or the climate the nearest to
perfection. Perhaps there would not
have been quite SO much suffering il
the first glowing reports of Oklahoma
had been true. But there would have
been a great deal anyway.
With but few exceptions wealth
comes only as reward OF labor intel
ligently directed This ia certainly
true of those who adopt agriculture
as the means. Land may be as fertile
as the valley OF the Nile, the climate
all that could be desired and yet
wealth can be drawn from. neither
without labor. Crops are not grown
by magic. A field OF waving grain
will not spring up out of the wilder
ness in night, in obedience tc a
mere wave Of the hand.
Oklahoma is not a paradise by any
means, and the disappointment of the
boomers is rendered keener by the
discovery that most of the desirable
homssteads had been seized before
their arrival. 1t is claimed that Will,
