The acquittal of DR.. Mellow at
Charleston, charged with the murder
of Dawson. is farce and disgrace.
Dawson was a man of high character
and standing. He had in his family
handsome SavOyard maid as gov
erness, whom he had brought from
Switzerland, DIR. Mellow, lecherous
seoundrel with wife and family, tried
for some time 20 corrupt the girl. If
father or brother could have been at
hand to shoot him in his tracks during
one of his clandestine visits to her,
when he was trying to persuade her to
run away with him, everyone would
have said ''weIl DONE" Captain Daw-
son felt 1t to be his duty to protect
her, and went wholly unarmed to the
Office of the doctor, for the purpose of
warning him to keep away from his
house and the governess. An alterca-
tion followed and Dawson was shot
and killed in the Office. No one
save the scoundrelly doctor wit
messed the act. The bullet entered
near the back, showing that the captain
could not have been facing the doctor,
and was presumably in the act of retir-
ing when he was shot. Yet a jury under
the skillful management of an able law
yer says in effect to the slayer, ''well
done, go in peace" Such infamous
verdicts as that make lynch law ne
cessity throughout the land. Every.
body believed Mellow guilty of murder
at the time of the killing, and if he had
been lynched for it as he richly de
served, the act would have met with
popular. approval. OF all humbugs
the average jury is the most pictuc

GOING OUT AND COMING IN.

Going out to buy us clothing.
Going out, the bills to pay;
Coming In SO very slowly,
Coming in each working day;
Going out from us SO easy, =.
Coming in, so hard to win,
Ceaseless stream of little pennies =
Going out and coming in
Through the many wants Of home life,
From beneath our humble cot;
To the butcher and the baker
Where the meat and bread ara bought.
From the old and much worn wallet.
To the cruel world of greed;
Going out with signs and sadness,
To supply each family need
Through the wants that crowd us daily,
Through the bills that must be met,
Through the many needs Of children,
Where the family's growing yet;
To the busy world about US,
With its heartless woe and sin,
Restless stream OF little pennies,
Rushing ont into the din.
Coming back so very slowly,
Though we try to toll and save; =
Coming to the dear old homestead,
Coming in to keep us brave;
Weary, are we very often,
Weary, when we try to win,
From the world the little pennies,
Which are slow in coming in.
Going out to pay the taxes,
Coming in our hearts to cheer,
Going out to pay for schooling,
Coming in to family dear;
Ceaseless stream of little pennies,
Which we find so hard to win,
From the .doorways Of the homestead,
Going out and coming In.

For the benefit of the Republican we
will say that the NEWS has already
thrown some light" on the Infamous
sugar trust. The tariff on refined
sugar should be wiped out, and either
removed or greatly reduced ON all
grades. Men who take advantage of
the protection granted them by the
government to rob the people as the
sugar refiner's are doing, don't deserve
to be protected. The profits of the
trust In the past year are said to be
about fourteen millions! 1t is capital
lied at fifty millions, but is said to be
worth in actual value, not more than
fifteen millions. Thirty-five millions
of the stock is therefore water. The
profits, 1t will be seen. are for the past
year, about 80 per cent on the sum
actually invested. To protect such
daylight robbers, is TO prostitute the
taxing power of the government to
baser uses than even Turkish despot
would dare attempt in those days.
But who, let us ask, is responsible for
the protection now enjoyed by these
insolent robbers? Who gave them 81
per cent tariff to foster and encour-
age" the wholesale pillaging they are
doing? Will the Republican say?

The Kansas City Times write-up of
the resubmission sentiment in this city
aroused considerable interest in the
matter last evening, and showed many
who thought otherwise that the feeling
in favor Of prohibition is by no means
as strong as it has been. a year ago
very few of the gentlemen quoted by
the Times would dare publish their
honest views on the question. 1t is
quite different now, and shows that
the wind in Kansas does not always
blow from the west.

Crop reports to the Kansas Farmer
are exceedingly encouraging. The
wheat harvest is well in progress and
the yield is uniformly good. 1t is re-
ported from some localities that Excess
sive rains haye dampened the ground
to such an extent that it is impossible
to take the harvesting machinery into
the fields. The rains and hot weather
have had splendid effect on corn and
the growth during the week has been
rapid. The oat crop will be very heavy,
but in some localities it is badly down
on account of rain.

The cranks and sentimental boobies
of New York are worrying the super
ior court with appeals in behalf of
KeInmler, the murderer. Their mis-
cradle souls are in state of agony lest
the poor murderer would suffer pain
when executed by electricity. And the
court listens to them, and even stays
executions to consider their crazy state
ments! While the court and the cranks
are advising with each other, the people
ought to end the farce by taking the
murderer out and hanging him to a
telegraph pole.

ANOTHER gigantic moneyed scheme
is being discussed in England. 1t is
in brief the formation of $50, OO0, 600
syndicate to purchase the principal
dry goods establishments in the United
States. The remarkable thing about
the enormous investment of English
money in this country, is the fact that
such treasures of wealth can be spared
by free trade kingdom no larger in
area than one of our western states.
According TO protection logic, England
ought, after fifty years of free trade,
to be a beggar, yet she is the wealthiest
of all the nations. How very strange.
