POLITICAL MURDER In
FLORIDA.

The daily papers of Tuesday
last brought 20 us the too tamlilar
announcement that another point
cal murder had been committed
in the South. John Bird, a color
ed man who had been to Jackson
vile in response TO a summons
from :he United States District
court, to testify in the contested
Congressional election case "i
Goodrich against Bullock, (2nd
District,) while relur ming to his
home in Madison county, Florida,
was brutaIIy murdered. A lew
days prior to this, a cplored man
named Webster, was accused OF
throwing a stone into crowd OF
white men from whose blows he
had probably escaped on the out
going train aud stricking by
stauder. For this objectionable
uffense, Webster, who was a train.
hand, was awaited at Naycross,
Ga. where the fracas took place
the day previous, taken from the
train Oh its down trip and lynch
ed.
When John Bird was giving
the testimony for which he had to
suffer death, Mr.. Goodrich the
white conte slant member Of Con-
gress from the second district OF
Florida, WAS making a plea for
the appointment of a cOlored man
from Florida to a comparativeIy y
humble position, in one of the
departments. Seeing that colOred
men are freely losing their lives
in bis interest, we think Mr..
Goodrich should and will earnest
estly use his influence to have
worthy colored men appointed to
positions and he should with
equal earnestness, use his lnt1u-
ence to have the murdererS of in
nocent, deienseless colored men
punished. We now fell sure that
Mr.. Goodrich will get his seat
for violence aud bloodsbed are
the last arguments of defeated
coward. TIE white chivalry oi
Madison county, Florida, may
continue to murder colored reput
licsn witnesses, they cannot stay
thereby the honest verdict of the
impartial majority in the mex
i1ouse OF Representatives, which
rs we believe, will he +. S. Good
rich has been duly elected to tht
5lst Congress, notwithstanding
the fraudulent certificates now
held by Bullock, Democrat.

BAD GOVERNMENT IN
HAW All.

On the first page we publish a
graphic letter from the Hawai-
Ian patriot +. j. Testa to our
friend Celso C@ sar Moreno, about
the Missionary Rule imposed by
brutal force and treason on the
3Oth day of June 1887, upon the
primitive, goo4 natured, but TOO
patient and too timId Hawaiian
people. This rule of missiOnar es,
is the n CATION OF God and of all
the rights of men of reason and de
cency.
If Torquemaia the ferocious
chief OF the inquisition In Spain
should come out of his gave, h.
would certainly acknowledge that
the Methodist, Baptist, M"rmonS
and other sscts of missionaries
wi'h their acc IN plices, have by
far surpassed him in religious ill.,
tolerance, dep, dation, intrlgues,
greediness, treason and feroclty
The Government of Hawaii un,
der the absolute control of the un-
scruputous mi-sionaries, Is the sum
of ali iniquities, it is in fact me
raj econ omical and political pestl,
Ience, which is more detrimental
to the uan aljan Race aud Country
than the terrible physical leproSy
This is the truth that has al
ways been concealed to the State
and Navy Depar ments of the
United States, and by logical con-
sequence to the Presidenf by the
Diplomatic Consular and Naval
Officers sent on duty TO Hawai-
Conspicuous in this not highly
hon rabIe work have been the U.
| S. Ministers resident, little Jim
Comfy and Merrill, aided by the
two missionaries the Rev. IL. A
P. Garter. Hawaiian Minister IN
Washington aud the barber, Ne
vii Armstrong, Hawaiian Consul
IN New York.
The Missionaries have plnnder-
ed enough in the Hawaiian Is
lands to be able to pay well fol
their ahjecI under!yings
The irresalute King Kalakaua
is badly represent, d in Il e United
States; the Rev IL. A z Garter
with his creole wife is the laugh
iug stock in Washington, and the
barber, Armstrosg is public rid.
icule in New York.
1t would b. ID burning sham'
for the United States Government
if such " bad Government ii
Hawaii" should any longer be up
held by tho political, moral ant
naval influence of the great Am. r
lean Republic for the exclusive
benefit of a clique of renegade
missionaries and their acc c"mplices
Let US sincerely hope that Pres
ident Harrison and Secretary o
State Blaine will see through /
and put an end to it PRO bon,

PARTISAN strife in the constitu

means defeat of Statehood. The Re
publicans alread have majority Of
delegates, and if the nine Republicans
OF Ada county be seated by them q
fame Of discord will be kindled that
all the conservatism, good judgment
and appeals from the friends of the
cause cannot extinguish. An ounce
OF prevention is worth a pound OF
cure. The ounce should be taken and
taken quickly. A diagnosis of the
case suggests speedy and heroic treat
ment. THE NEWS desires Statehood
and it does not want to see its chances
endangered in this way.
