visited upon human beings. There were
two men at the house OF Mr.. Nix that
were also beaten nearly to death. The
! men we're visiting Mr. Nix and were not
armed, yet they fought manfully until they
were overpowered. Ia consequence of this
| high-handed outrage the peope in that vi
ciuity were terribly excited, and there were
many conjectures as 10 the guilty parties.
Suspicion soon fell upon certain parties. By
some mismanagement on the part of the
people, the White Caps found out that
some Of their number we're suspected. and
on last Friday night they committed
another crime that would bring the blush
If shame to the face of the widest savage.
One old gentleman, Henry Butler, was
called upon by this same cowardly band of
iaarauders, and after forcing open his door,
they took him into the yard and, with a
piece of iron trace-chan, eat him until he
was uncou scious. They thea took an old
| lady, who lives with Mr.. Butler, and
beat her into the same condition. Mr..
Butler is a very old m IN, has great grand
children and served through the late war.
Old and d-crepit as he was, it was no hard
task t. oVerpower aud beat him. They
then picked HIM up, FRIED him into the
house and laid hi u on the bel. They next
proceeded TO the house of his son, a young
iuan living a few hundred yards from him,
and with the same instrument beat him
Not yet satisfied, this lawl IS band went to

last woman and beat her almost to death.
Replacing their yictims upon the bed thev
de parted telling the n that If they we e
still in the country after the expiration of
ten days ey would come a ain and hang
them. They told Mr.. Butler and his son
that they we're going to beat them ecauss
they had accused innocent men #
their work. The whole south end
of the county is in state
of terrible excitement. Several
other citizens of that vicinity have been
notified to leave, and some Of the tinid
ones are doing so. A few men with more
courage, however, are watching the homes
Of the threatened parties and are deter

Unless the farmers of the United States
shall be blinded to the cause of their depres-
sion, it is impossible that the Republican
idea of a high Federal taX-in place of Pro-
tection-should ever have another represent
ative in the Chief Magistrate at Washing
ton. The majority Of the voters of the coun-
try cast their ballots against it last Novem-
Der, but unhappily under the Electoral Col
lege system, the majority in a Presidential
election does not necessarily rule. Twenty
nine years ago-in 1S60-the farmers con-
stituted one-half of the population and
owned one-half Of the wealth of the coun.
try. In the twenty years between 1860 and
1880, the farmer half of the population add
ed 50, 122, 5S0, 4S1 to their possessions, while
for the same period the other half of the
populationadded $23 ,359, 791 ,s51-five times
as much-to theirs. With wheat at 92(09t
cents does it not strike a farmer as a ques
ton worth studying, how does this enor.
nous inequality of wealth come about? The
same steady labor, greater self denial in
the comforts of life, an almost total alb
sence OF the luxuries on the part OF the far

tion-either party that collects higher tax
than is necessary for the government would
work the same injury to the farming class
No political platform can contain clause

THE OKLAHOMA LAND HUNGER.
There will be a strange sight at the new
territory TO Oklahoma, next Sunday week.
The Sabbath will not be quiet one to the
many thousands of people that are
hanging around the edges of the land wait
ing for the next day, which is the official
day fixed by the President S proclamation
for throwing it open to settlement. Men
are camping there to-day and have been
there for weeks waiting for the day, and
men are also building arks on the Arkansas
river and loading them with goods to run
into the beautiful land," for that is the
meaning of the Indian name. The beautiful
land called Oklahoma is of only two mil
lion acres in extent, located in the centre OF
the Indian territory, and for the most part
of wonderful fertility. Twenty three years
ago it was an Indian reservation and was
bought from them, by the Government, at
fifteen cents an acre. 1t was believed at the
time to be a job in the interest of the Attain
tic & Pacific Railway Company, for few
months after, bill went through giving
this company the right of way through it
together with each alternate section of land
for forty miles ON each side of the railway.
The company surveyed, but never built the
line. A clause in it's grant provided that if
the company attempted to get settlers along
it's line, it's charter should be forfeited. So,
from time to time, ''boOmers''-it is claim
ed in the interest of the railroad company
have been trying to break into Oklahoma
and settle it up, so as to make it worth the
company's while to build the road. The
leader of most, if not all of these movements,
was Payne. He organized company eleven
Years ago in Kansas and went into the
promised land, but the L. S. troops drove
them out. In the spring OF 1880 he got
together another band and Went in again
and established town called Ewing, y
elected town officers and laid off the streets;
but in about three weeks a squad of U. S.
troops found them, captured the Whole
town, and took it off to jail. Again in the fall
of that year Payne gathered some 200 men on
the border of Kansas, but the troops watch
ed them and as fast as any little party
would 90 into the new land, would drive
them out. In 1884, Payne got up colony
of 600 and went in, and started the town OF
Rock Falls with a church, newspaper,
schoolhouse, Sc. The troops took the town
again and put the boomers in jail. Then
Payne died. After his death, Congress
passed bill erecting territory out OF the
western half of Indian territory; the tract
known as No Mans land, and the portion
known as Oklahoma 100000 acres III
all. 1t will be thrown open to settlers on
Monday, April 22d. Along its outer edge
are strung villages of from SO to l 800 inlla-
bitants, waiting for the day to come that
they may move in-probably ten thousand
people in all. The struggle to reach and
preempt the most valuable land will be
fierce, and will doubtless be attended with
bloodshed. When the land is fairly ''settled
up the railroad company will go in and
make it's millions off the sale Of the alter
nate section on either side of the route
which their surveyors marked out years
ago.

There comes from Washington very
agreeable story. So agreeable and so neatly
fitting the views Of the people Of the South
who want to see a good class Of offiae~holdeEs
put in when changes are made, that it
creates the apprehension that it has been
invented fol the occasion. AS it runs, it
pictures lone Moseley'' from Alabama, fol-
lowed by a retinue of carpet-bag and col
ored heelers of the olden time, setting up a
headquarters in Washington, from which
to give the President advice about
the distribution of the Alabama Off
ces. He pers1stently calls Oh MI.
Harrison in that interest until the
President says to him-so runs the MARIA
tive-"M Ne. Moseley, l know you; | know
all about you, ana | don't propose to have
you make my Alabama appointments fqr
me-" That has good ring about it, but if
the President gets a list of recommends
tions from some Alabama Republican Of
eminepce, he will be sure to find MI. MGsbley
down on it fof q position. The gets asimilar
list from the so-cal1ed s!Protection Demo-
crats'' OF Alabama, he will again End Mr..
Moseley's name. In fact, on any list OF
'sRspublicans Of infloonce," he will find it..
1t is to be regretted, but the Moseley
element is so strong in the South that
where it is not, there isn't likely to bemuch
of party organization.

A ROAD THAT FILLS IT'S MISSION

A ROAD THAT FILLS IT'S MISSION
The Norfolk & Western Railroad, which
runs through Virginia from Hampton
Roads to the Tennessee line, has been q
model of that sort Of corporation which
builds up a country. 1t has initiated many
enterprises for the development of the
country through which it runs, and lent a
helping hand to many more. A gentleman
from Southwestern Virginia talking with
us not long since, said there was hardly any
thing along it's line, from a coal OF iron
mine down to a village hotel, that the compa-
ny would not assist, if the people in interest
were in earnest about it. This policy has
SO fructified its route, dotted it with
so many towns and enterprises, that its
passenger travel has repaid it. In 1887 it
carried ,951 passengers, and in 1888 car
ried just one-half more-771 ,249. The Presi-
dent gives list of the arrivals of passen-
gers at it's twelve principal stations for
several years. We give in round numbers
how many more arrivals there were at the
stations named in 1888, than there were in
1SS7-Norfolk, 6,00O; Petersburg, 3,000:
Lynchburg, 5000; Roanoke, IA, 900, Radford,
5000; BIuefield, $4,000; Pocahontas, 5000:
Bramwell, 5000; Abingdon, 5000; Pulaski
5000, and Bristol, 5000. This increase of
travel may be fairly said to be the result
of the company's efforts to energize and
improve the land over which it runs, as
much as to the enterprise of the residents.
The management seem to have better APP
preciated the true relation of railroad to
the country through which it passes, than
the management of any other road in the
State up to this date. The result has been
for the year 1888, that after paying divi-
dend Of Il per cent, the road has clear
surplus income of $41S, 55S.67.

POLITICAL NOTES.

AS far as can be inferred from the utter
ances of all concerned in the Virginia Re
publican fractional fight over recognition at
Washington, the matter stands this way,
If the two factions make peace, the offices
extending over more than one congressional
district, such as the Marshalships, Colec-
tors of Internal Revenue, District Attor-
neys, will go to Gen. Malone; the Republic
lican candidates elected OIL defeated in 1883,
to have the distribution of the postoffices
in their respective districts and such other
Federal patronage as may lie therein-all
this being done with an understanding that
both the Senator and the Congressman shall
make Il fair division between the Wise and
Malone factions. If no peace is agreed
upon by June 1st, then the Administration
will take the matter in hand itself. and dis
