Abolish the Barbarism.

AS another evidence that hanging,
that old relic of barbarism, should
be abolished, the following case Of
strungulation comes from New Jersey
under date of Woodbury., Nov. ID:
Joseph M. Hillman was hanged
here to-day for the murder of Herman
Seidman, peddler. When the body
shot into the air distance of fifteen
feet the moose failed to tighten. AS
the rope slipped around On the
wrotched mans neck he groaned and
shrieked, and his words could almost

with his arms and finally succeeded
in sufficiently freeing his hands to al
most reach the rope, the hangman
reached up to the moose and finally
succeeded in getting it around 80 that
tho weight Of the body rested on the
throat, and the life was slowly stran-
gled out Of the body of the condemned
man. .

THE sPEAKERsHIP.

The contest Tor the Speakership Of
the House of Representatives liz be-
ginning to wax warm at Washington,
though there are but few members
yet at the Capital. The principle
candidates are Reed, Mckinley, Can
non, Henderson and Burroughs. It
il believed that Reed will develop
more strength on the first ballot than
any two Of the others and it is thought
that all the others will combine
against him. The caucus Of course is
expected to determine who the ma
jority shall openly support but il the
report is true that southern members
will vote for the man who will give
them the most favorable terms it is
possible to defeat the caucus nomi-
nee.
Reed is a confirmed gold-bug, who
has such an antipathy to silver that
he will not use teaspoon made Of
the metal, while Mckinley has al
ways dissented from the views Of the
majority of his party on the silver
question and never did agree with
John Sherman on the subject.
AS it is Of almost vital importance
to the silver interest that a majority
of the committees on coinage and on
currency should be friends of the
metal, and as the Speaker appoints
the committees, the silver men should
zee to it that Reed is not elected

LONDON, December 6th-Througb the
length and breadth of the United Kingdom
and indeed of Europe and the rest of the
civilized world, the name of Stanley is on
every tongue. On the streets, in the clubs.
wherever man congregates, the one theme
OF conversation is Stanley, his wonderful
achievements and his modesty as illus
trated in his letter to the Herald, which is
on all sides held to be masterpiece and to
stamp its author as truly great man.
Stanley is q member of the Turner'S
Company of London. The company at
tended banquet at the Holborn restaurant

read the following telegram from the King

paralleled and heroic services readered bv
our friend Stanley to science and civiliza-
ton in that vast continent, in the discovery
of which he has taken so great q sharen
Burdett-Coutts in proposing the toast to
Stanley, referred to Stanley's mission as an
English enterprise. An American flag had
been handed to the traveller by correspon-
dent and conspicuously placed over his
tent. They were only too delighted that
the weary traveller would be able to enjoy
the refreshments provided, and grateful to
those who sent them, but they would not
have these things obscure the fact that this
was purely English enterprise, conceived,
organized and subscribed for by English
men [cheersl and carried out by one who
was none the less al EAglishman because
he added to tie fiber of the Angle. Saxon

The message dispatched by Burdett-
Coutts TO Zanzibar, was as follows: "The
Turner'S Company, at their annual dinner
with the Lord Mayor and other old friends
of yours, after listening to full and gra-
cious telegram with respect to yourself
from the King of the Belgians, have Just
drank your health with stirring enthusiasm,

KNIGHTs AND FARMERs.
Preliminary Steps for Union of Inter
est-The Tariff Question.


est-The Tariff Question.
ST. LOUIS, December 6th.-This morning
Powderly, Wright and Beaumont, repre-
senting the Knights of Labor met the de-
mands of the committee of the Farmers
and Laborers Union, and the basis Of the
federation was agreed upon. 1t was agreed
that the farmers appoint Legislative Com
mittee of two in conjunction with the Leg
islative Committee at Washington, to Sc
cure legislation in accordance with the
views of both bodies.
The officers of the two organizations
will form Central Council. Various farm
ers of the bodies have agreed upon a plan
of consolidation, which will, as soon as the
necessary references can be had to various
State organizations, result in bringing
about an absolute union. 1t is probable
that in time the Knights will also join the
| farmers in an actual union.
The National Farmers Alliance adopted
a long series of resolutions fayoring woman
suffrage, the reservation OF public land for
actual settlers against the acquisition OF
| land by aliens, for rigid enforcement Of
| the law against railroad corporations moi
complying with their contracts as to the
disposition of lands, calling for the free
coinage of gold and silver, favoring the
payment OF tne pupnC uepe % laPluis eS
possible, reiterating the argument against
| the National Bank system, and favoring
the greenback doctrine. Taxes on real es'
tate, mortgages and grades on income tax
are demanded; the liquor traffic is opposed
| in all forms; the deep harbor on the Gull
coast is indorsed; recommending Congress
| to compel the Union Pacific and Centra
Pacific railroads to pay their debts, and OBJ
| iectine to any further extension OF time
| The Australian system of voting is enthusi
astically indorsed. This resolution on th'
! tariff follows:
| Resolued, That we favor such revision and re
| ductiou of the tariff that taxes may rest q
| lightly as possible upon productive labor, .ant
| that its burdens may be imposed upon the lux
uries and removed tIom the neeessarles oi NE
and in a manner which viii prevent continua
| accumulations OF the United states Treasur.

A Son who Testified Falsely Against His
Poor Mother.

New York, December 6th.-William Nc
Cabe, sixteen years old, for horse, wagon
and new suit of clothes, blasted the char
ac.er of his own mother. In February,
1855. James w. McCabe, living at 81 Rapal-
lea street, brought a suit for divorce against
bis wife Martha. He named as correspond
ent his cousin, John McCabe. In Court
Mrs. McCabe pleaded piteously that she
was innocent. They were married in Eng
land in 1864, and came to America few
years later. The wife said that she had
borne her husband seven children, and
had always been loving and kind. She had
often been beaten By her husband, and
driven out in the snow by him, but still
she clung to him.
The poor woman's appeal had strong
effect upon the Court Then the father had
the son, William, brought in as witness.
| The mother had no fear aud warmly greeted
her son. In 8 moment she was horro--
stricken. The boy was swearing against
her. The mother listened, appalled,; the
Court looked surprised, but the boy told his
story unblushingly. This decided the case
and the divorce was granted to the hus-
band. Since then the boy has been vic
tim of remorse. He has lost his health

FDs. REcoRD-UNIoS: This Office desires 20
secure the best results possible regarding the
schools of the country with few salient in
quiries.
James H. Blodgett, A IL. of Rockford nli-
nois, gentleman OF long experience IN educa-
tional work and in public affairs, has been ap-
pointed a special agent for the collection of sta
tlstics of education for the 7ited States.
Public schools are so related 10 systems of
public record that their statistics are obtainable
through established methods.
Incorporated private schools have a place in
public records.
Parochial schools generally render stated re-
ports to some controlling body.
Unincorporated private schools form con-
siderable element of usefulness hitherto un-
measured. 1t is desirable to gather reports of
the number CT teachers and pupils in such
schools, without troubling them for the finan-
ciai statements that schools supported by public
funds owe to the taxpayers.
The enumerators of population will report
each person WHO has attended school within
the year and whether at public or at private
school, and, for all persons ten years of age and
over, those who can read and write. This viii
be more than has been done heretofore. Other
educational statistics must be reached by differ
ent methods, in which everyone interested may
render some aid.
Any lists of private schools, no matter how
brief, or names of single schools, no matter how
humble open in any part of the present school
year, with the address OF the principal teacher
of eaeh will be of assistance to this Office. Very
respectfully, ROBERT 2. PORTER,

he blew his own brains out Both are col

and began proceedings for divorce.
This enraged Sanderline, and was the
cause of the tragedy to-day. His first shot
missed her, when he caught and threw her
on the floor, and, placing the pistol behind
her ear, fred. The man fingered uncon-
seious until 2:40 this afternoon, when he
died. The woman will live. Sanderline

WASHINGTON, December 6th.-The spe-
cial committee charged with investigating
the accounts of the office OF Sergeant-at-
Arms this morning went into secret ses.
sion. At the end of half an hour word
was sent to Leedom that the committee de-
sired his presence.
Leedom, accompanied by ex-Congress-
man Philip Thompson, responded 10 the
summons, but Thompson was denied ad-
mission.
Leedom has made another searching ex-
animation of the books and places the
amount of the defalcation at 81 800.
Leedoms examination was confined to
the Investigation of the manner in which
the business was transacted in his office,
in its various ramifications with the Treas
ury National Banks and Representatives.
]. W. Whelpley, Assistant United States
Treasurer, testified as to the mode in which
the drafts of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House are presented and paid at the De-
partment. After hearing Whelpley's state
ment the committee made an investigation
into the legal aspect of the case, with re-
suit most unsatisfactory to members whose
salaries are in arrears.
Although the matter is still an open
question, it appears, as a result of inquiry
thus far, that the responsibility for the loss
cannot be located.
Altogether the situation is distressing to
those members who at first had no doubt
that they would promptly recover their
missing dollars. Having exhausted the
knowledge of the Treasury officers, the
committee went 10 the office of the Ser
geant-at Arms and began the examination
of formidable array of books and ac-
counts.
Ex-Congressman Paige, of Ohio, a bonds
man for Leedom, emphatically denied the
statement which gained some credence that
he was indebted TO Silcott. He says he
owes Silcott no money whatever.
Representative Adams, Chairman OF the
Investigating Committee, says the story
that Silcott had gone to New York to collect
money of Paige is doubtless one of Silcott's
lies, invented to gain time.

him. Unable to bear the strain any longer,
he went to his mothers lawyer and made
an affidavit that he had sworn falsely
against his mother.
His story is most remarkable. 1t was
presented before Judge Osborne in the City
Court of Brooklyn yesterday. The boy
says his father was determined to get rid
of his wife. To accomplish his purpose his
father offered him a suit of clothes and
horse and wagon if he would testify against
his mother The father also threatened to
kill him if he did not SO swear.
