he was taken TO public square, where he was
.beheaded He kissed the priest six times be-
fore he walked to the platform. 1t was a
chum of Nael who was to drop the knife.

man killed this way in ST. Pierre. I am
sorry for what have done, and l hope in
ST Pierre no execution like this will ever
happen again. May God protect you all"

the triangular knife fell, but it d not sever
the head, although death resulted instantly

China and Japan Visited by Typhoons
and Floods of Great Severity.

North China and Japan have been visited
by a series of typhoons Of almost unprece-
aented violence. The number of junks and
lives that have been lost through inunda-
tons at Wengehow and Ningpo is enormous.
According to the latest intelligence from
Japan, too, the number Of persons who have
lost their lives by drowning in consequence
of the foods is at the lowest estimate five
thousand.

The Democratic press of the state

The Democratic press of the state
are taking the figures of the tariff and
adding them to the price of The manu-.
factured article. This is not honest or
fair. The editors of these papers
know as well as any one else that this
duty does not add to the price of the
article; but simply acts as bulwark
against the introduction of the foreign
fabric. For instance, the price of
calico in this country is only 5 cents a
yard, while the tariff on foreign prints
is six cents yard. This is signicant in
the fact that by competition we have
lowered the manufactured fabric below
the actual price of the import duty.
This is the fact in many instances.
The protective duty is simply re-
striction to foreigners, and says,
"Hands of; let Americans compete
with themselves" If this was abol-
ished the surplus of English looms
would seek a market in this country,
and the result would be our factories
would be starved out and the British
factor would charge any price he de-
sired. As it is, we allow Americans
to compete with each other and
cheaper the price of the article to the
lowest minimum.

An Irish Industry ReviylnS
New York World.

Irishmen in the United States will be
glad to learn that the association started
by Michael Davitt a couple of years ago
to encourage the industries of their native
land, has been great success, and that
the shares OF the company are now held
at premium in Dublin. Several good
dividends have been declared, and there
are excellent prospects for the future. 1t
is a patriotic and philantbropic enter
prise, and not a money-making scheme.
Mr.. Davitt had long been convinced that
a large demand for Irish homespun wool
lens would arise if they were properly in
troduced In the United States and Eng
land, and the result of the experiment has
justified this opinion. The difficulty at
the outset was to meet the long credits
given by English manufacturers, the Irish
cottage weavers needing cash for their
goods as soon as they were finished.
This was paid by the Dublin company.
which gave the credit required by the
trade, and the weavers were thus enabled
to go on with their work. The demand
is now SAID to be larger than they can
supply, and the goods are wanted as
much In England as in the Uuited States,
where the Irish homespuns were at first
taken for patriotic reasons. which led to
the discovery of their sterling worth.

RACE WAR IN THE SOUTH.

1t has been several years since the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment giving the right of suffrage to
coIored citizens, and hardly in a single
instance has it been enforced. Race
pride or race prejudice, whichever
it may be termed, is as prevalent
to-day in the South as ever, and ap-
parently there are no indications of
it dying out. 1t was not unreasonable
to suppose that former slavc-owners
would not view with any feelings of
complaisancy the changed condition Of
their former chattels. But political
equality does not by any means sis
nifty social equality, and simply be-
cause a negro can vote is no reason
that he should be admitted on a level
with others into society. While in
the north political rights have been
granted to all white persons, of what
ever nationality, after being natural
lied, this has in no instance torn down
the walls of social restriction. Emerg-
ing from state of slavery it was not
expected that the colored population
would be very intelligent voters for
some time; but since the war
schools have been established,
and intelligence among them is
becoming more general. Equal po-
iitical rights would not haye been
granted them except as a means of
protection, and as such it should have
effected good purpose. But at this
late day it is useless to argue this
question. The suffrage amendment
has become part of the constitution,
and as such it should be en-
forced the same as any other
clause in that instrument. The
states south of Mason & Dixon's
line cannot restrict suffrage by reason
of 'srace, color or previous condition of
servitude," and if their object is to
have the white race rule at the ballot
box, 1t must be brought about by
some other means,

There is again rumors in the dis
patches of war between Germany
and Russia; but these rumors have
become periodical, and are expected at
stated intervals. The fact of the
matter is that neither one of these
nations is desirous of declaring war
against the other, and before there
will be any clash of arms diplomacy
must exhaust all it's resources. The
science of killing men has advanced so
much within the last few years that
battles will be very destructive of
human life, even to the victorious.
Germany,with her thoroughly military
government, understands this well,
and the fact is too we'll known even
to the car, with all his ambition for
acquisition of territory, for him to
madly rush into war. The extensive
preparations forsa..conf;ct which every
nation in Europe has been making for
some years past. places peace on a
firmer basis and makes war more re-
mote.

ington this season, the prospects for
another year are as bright as in any
portion of the United States. This Is
the first misfortune in the shape of
dro1th that has happened in the in
land empire since it has been settled
by white men-over quarter OF
century. There is no reason to be-
lieve that it will again happen in the
same length of time, and no one should
be discouraged. The loss this year,
by the exercise Of enterprise, cen be
easily overcome, and in this way it
may act as an incentive to our re-
tarded development. For years, With
out any effort apparently to counter
act the influence, the tide of immigra-
ton from the eastern states has been
drifting towards Eastern Washington
and the Willamette valley. If we will
use business sagacity next year we will
receive large accessions to our popu-
latlon from this source. Our lands
are as fertile,-and we have vast areas
unoccupied-as any in the north Invest,
and home-seekers would gladly settle
in our midst if they knew the ad-
vantages which we possess. This
knowledge should be spread broad
cast, and every dollar SO spent will
bring ten in return. In this
regard we should follow the example
of our neighbors who have been reap
ing a rich harvest of immigrants while
we have lain dormant. All kinds of
literatnre-newspapers, pamphlets and
circulars, should be sent to large east
ern cities, and profusely scattered
among all classes of people. Cold
winters, cyclones and billiards. and
an over-taxed soil have forced the in
dustrious to look elsewhere for homes.
If we desire them, information of our
resources should be given, and they will
come. On the contrary, if we do not
desire the industrious classes of Amer
leans as adjuncts to our growth, the
effort will be a waste of energy, and
contrary to the principles of economy
in all kinds of labor which we prize so
highly.

OREGON IMPROHENENTS.

The Columbia Waterway Associa-
ton will hold it's fifth annual session
in the city of Portland October 10th.
Secretary Brewster, in writing from
Vancouver, says regarding the work
at the mouth of the Columbia and at
the Cascade Locks:
The work upon the jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia has advanced
SO far that its completion is assured,
and the result will be beyond the most
sanguine expectations of the advocates
of the jetty system. Already an in
creased depth of four feet on the Tar
is apparent, and we are promised
thirty-two feet at dead low water
when the jetty is completed. The
channel from Portland to Astoria has
also been permanently deepened.
The work at the Cascade Locks has
been pushed faster than ever. The
board of engineers sent abroad by the
government to investigate various
methods of overcoming the obstruc-
-tiors at The Dalles, will present re-
port at the next meeting of congress,
from which we hope definite plan for
this great work will come. The works
in progress have been visited this year
by several parties of senators and
representatives, all of whom expressed
great satisfaction with the methods
pursued, and their positive belief in
the results to follow. Several openly
announced their intention of assisting
our congressional delegations to get
sufficient sums from the next congress
to finish the works under way, instead
of continuing the present system of
piecemeal appropriations.
By holding an enthusiastic conven-
tion of representative men of the
northwest we may emphasize the i'm
portance Of the early completion Of
the improvements to navigation now
in progress in relation to the Coium-
bia river,and by presenting this matter
in its true light the forthcoming ses.
sion of congress may do something for
-us in the shape of liberal appropria-
tions. The paltry sums hitherto
given for rivers and harbors have not
been conducive to an early completion
of the projected improvements, and if
at this meeting of the association these
facts were pointed out it is to be hoped
that congress would see the neces-
sity of appropriating such sums that
the engineers in charge can do effective
work. Each board of trade interested
should have statistics regarding ex-
ports, rates of freight, and country in
the vicinity tributary to the river.
Until recently eastern men have not
known the Importance of the north
west, and the large area of country
drained by the Columbia river. The
visits of the congressional delegations
during the past summer have made our
country better known, and we may
expect to realize beneficial result in
the next River and Harbor bill.

a TALE OF TWO WOMEN.

There are at present two women
who are attracting the attention of
the English speaking world-Mrs.
Maybrick, who has been en- trial in
London for the murder of her hus-
band by arsenic poison, and Mrs. Ray
Hamilton, who attempted to murder
her servant in brutal manner. The
former married her husband for his
money, and seeing another person up
on whom she could lavish her affec-
,tion, killed the man to whom she vas
welded after being criminally intimate
with the other. Mrs. Hamilton is an
adventures of the worst kind, and
was taken from questionable life in
to the high circles of New York So
ciety. In order to get posse ssion Of
her husbands wealth and the jewels of
his family she imposes bastard upon
him as his offspring, and makes bru-
tai attempt to butcher her servant
woman with a knife. Both these
creatures are Americans, living in this
golden age of the republic, and reared
with all the benefits of republican So
ciety surrounding them. There are
rarely cases of depravity which equal
these, and yet they are described as
women of beauty and accomplish
ments. 1t only emphasizes the fact
so often stated that the being upon
whom men lavish their holiest affec
tions in the relations of mother, wife,
and sister can reach the loftiest heights
of purity and affection or sink to the
lowest depths of vice and degradation.
Mrs. Maybrick, with other ambitions
In life than the flash and flare Of or
namcnts and the accumulation of
wealth, might have been an honest
wife and an exemplary mother and
member of society; but not having the
force of character to resist the glare
and glitter of money and the passport
it furnishes to every circle of society,
sacrificed every finer feeling of
womanhcod to its influence. Mrs.
Hamilton might have cultivated the
higher virtues of her sex and led an
upright life if she were content with |
her station and not aspired to the
higher walks of life and used every
means to accomplish her purpose.
This is sad tale of two women "gone
wrong" which should te a constant
warning to all members of their
sex. Not that they are any worse
than many men, who sacrifice
honor and every virtue to reach the
goal of their ambition; but in whom
the social sin is almost universally
condoned. The moral of these terri
BILE examples is easily seen and under
stood. In contentment there Is not
nnly rest and quiet; but the tempta-
tion to viciousness to achieve promi-
nence is absolutely wanting. The
honest wife of the honest laborer is
more respected in the world of intelli-
,ence to-day than the unchaste mis
ress of a prince. Diamonds and
ewels can never adorn a woman to
he extent that true virtue and the
higher elements of lady-like character
10, and the wife of the plebian and
mother of his children is more ad-
nired by every true gentleman than
he harlots who throng the courts of
Kings and emperors and barter their
;hastity for gaudy gems.

THE RACE CONFLIC1


New ORLEANS, Sept. A special
from Greenwood, Miss, says: From
present appearances 1t looks as though
the sun of peace would surersede the
cloud of war. The sheriff of this county
returned from Minter City, the seat of
war, last ev enIng, and reports everything
quiet up there.
-Four of the ringleaders. named Adolph
Horton, Scott Morris, NJ. J. Dial and
Jack Dial, were killed. The excitement
among the negroes was augmented by
report that peaceful negro had been
killed during the night for refusing to
take up arms against the white people.
Upon the arrival of the troops it was
learned that party oi about 100 negroes,
well armed with Winchester rifles, were
encamped near Cane Land, distance of
six or eight miles from Miuter CITY. A
reconnoitering party OF citizens number
ing about fifty men was organized and
proceeded to interview the belligerent
blacks. After riding for some time
through dense forest of cane and vines,
they arrived at the place designated as
the camp of the negroes, but they had
moved to some other place. Search was
at once instituted. The party. while pas
sing through Plankton, came upon
Adolph Horton and Jack Dial. and thew
were commanded to surrend,r. Tbey
drew pistols ane started to run, when
they were shot down.
The other leaders were killed this
morning while resisting arrest.
Thomas, Allen and Cromwell, the NOV
ing spirits OF the iusurrection, have not
been arrested, but the whites ana better
class of negroes are determined to bring
them to justice.
The best of feeling prevails between
the white and better class of negroes.
