ROOT PIG OR DIE.

Senator Higgins's proposed speech in
favor Of the Force bill will be an effort to
justify such actions ss those Of Cotton.
Pierce, Sterling and Mahaffy at the polls
here in November in the manipulation of
the negro voters.
Whatever else may be said in favor of
the Force bill, its real object, when
stripped Of DISCUSSES, is simply to get in
negro votes for the Republican party.
That is Dsvenport's object, that Is Sen.
ator Higgins's object.
The negro is an undesirable voter. He
does not bring virtue, intelligence, or
knowledge to the polls. He is notorious
for bringing precisely the contrary
qualities. But he is necessary to the ex-
istence Of the Republican party in this
state. in the Southern states and he has
enough votes in the Northern states,
400 900, to carry every one of them
against the party.
The Republicans therefore can neither
consider the Force bill on its merits nor
be guided by justice and patriotism in
regard to the negro vote In other states,
as in Delaware, 1t is not question
whether the negro wishes to vote, is
competent to vote, is benefited BY suf-
frage, is willing to bear any portion OF
the burdens Of the government, or feels
compelled TO pay slight tax, but it ia
simply and solely question Of existence
Or extinction with the Republican party.
Senator Higgins cannot consider these
questions on their merits he is bound to
consider the Republican party only.
Suffrage as practiced by the Republi-
can party, and the negro is debasing to
both and destructive and harmful TO
popular government. 1t defeats the aim
of popular government, debauches the
ballot and jeopardizes the Republic.
Senator Higgins cannot permit himself
to contemplate, even the debaHching
and deleterious effects Of introducing.
manipulating, buying cajoling and de-
ceiving the ingnorant and superstitlous
negro voters at the polls or the negro's
political and personal virtue. He is
bound by the necessities Of the case to
condone, extenuate and ignore all OF these
frig htful evils and to limit his considera
tion TO the fact that the Republican
party is in danger Of extinction
at the hands Of the white people-that
there are not enough white people in the
country to go around-and that as his
"a
Chinese, 1t is absolutely necessary to
have the vote Of the negro.
The Force bill makes it possible to OBJ
tain that vote by the use Of the bayonet
and by the use Of those cunning con-
trivances' to which President Harrison
refers In his message; hence the Republl-
can party must have a Force bill. It lisa
grounding case" a ''root pig or die, Z"
no matter how deep the mud. If the
Republican party cannot compel and
count the negro vote it is lost.

Tx the celebrated case of Mary r.
Wheeler alias Mrs Pearcey OF London,
recently condemned TO be hanged for the
murder Of Mrs. Hogg and her baby the
judge in pronouncing the sentence Of
death said:
You'll become person Of so little
moral sense that eventually you have
been the instrument, and a willing in
strument, IN taking away the life of a
woman, whose only offense toward you
was that she WAS married TO the man
upon whom yeu had set your unholy
passion.
The term instrument as used by the
judge has excited the suspicion that he
thought the woman had been instigated
TO her crime. But this is not supported
by any evidence and I'll is likely that the
judge was simply using an expression
once common Ia the pulpit to describe a
man who may be enslaved by any passion
as an instrument. This curious
revival Of the phrase shows a marked
change in popular thought and
recalls the well-known, comment
that Blackstone makes on the change in
the use Of the word provisions. II
also indicates that the pulpit has lost its
influence as moulder Of public opinion
in favor Of the newspapers The news
papers Of to day formulate, convey, and
preserve even If they do not actually
guide and make public opinion.

man, who was passing along the opposite
side of the street. saw her walking
unsteadily, and hurried across to her
assistance Just before he reached her,
however, she fell heavily to the pave
ment on her face.
The force Of the fall caused blood to
stream from her nostrils and mouth.
Her face was badly cut and her nose and
lips were awfully swollen. She soon
recovered consciousness and messenger
was quickly dispatched for DIR. j. r.
Smith. The neighbors secured restora-
tives and die everything to alleviate the
sufferings of the dying woman, but
before the physicians arrival which was
In very few minutes, she had breathed
her last. The physician pronounced her
death as resulting from apoplexy A
large crowd of people gathered on the
scene and the efforts of three policemen
we're required to keep the people away
from the dying woman.
The sody was placed on a settee and
covered with shawl until the arrival Of
Coroner Sparks and Deputy Coroner
Giles, who removed the body to the resi-.
dence OF DR.. Smith at Seventh and Pop
lar streets Mr.. Howard was at once
notified by telephone and he hurried to
the physicians home, where the pros
trate form of his beloved wife lay. He
was almost overcome with grief.
He had the body removed to the
hospital. kilograms were sent to rela-
tives and old friends in New England.

spiracy to enlighten the American people
by the circulation of newspapers and
pamphlets which gave the tariff reform
argument.
Even before the November elections
Mr.. Clarkson delivered lugubrious
nonologue at Pittsburg, bemoaning the
fact that the Republican party had SO
few newspaper supporters. Now he
confesses that it ives lack Of news
papers, net party mismanagement, which
lost the country to the Republicans,
though he admits that the Mckinley bill
was a mistake in increasing duties rather
than regulating them. Mr.. Clarkson
says:
The campaign of 1892 IS already
opened, and 1t is to be fought by the
press. Party committees will play but q
minor part. The fight will be lost or
won before the committees are organized
for work. II is to be a campaign OF
argument, and II in such contest the
people are TO read q Democratic OF
a Mugwump paper when they should read
a Republican paper, the Democrats are
sure TO win,
The only remedy, in his opinion, is tc
increase the number of Republican news
papers, which must be thoroughly par
tisan and literally subsidized.
The Democrats, Of course, will welcome
such a state Of affairs as subsidized news
papers advocating the party Of higf
taxes, and Force at elections The peopl,
will have no difficulty in deciding be
tween the two parties The difference Il
plain enough now, but that would make
It palmer. The party OF economy and
conservative methods can cop,
with the party Of extravaganza and reck
less legislation Just as easily with sub
sidized papers as with no papers at all
The typical organ has little influence
and the subsidized organ has none what

THE crime, escape, pursuit. capture,
return, imprisonment and the pending
trial of Michael Ryraud and Gabrielle
Bompard, both lof Paris, reads like one
of Gaboriau's novels. The theory Of the
crime is that Gouffe was murdered by the
two conspirators. but this colloquy took
place in court yesterday
Il did not strangle him with my
hands, said Eyraud, rising from his
seat.
he didr' cried Gabrielle.
Explain how he did it, said the Presi.
dent
But Gabrielle only reiterated her
words. HE strangled him with his
hands"
Eyraud interrupted. saying: "That
was not what happened, hanged Gouffe.
Doctor, he added. can you say how
long It takes to straDgle a mani"
This question by the prisoner elected
murmurs ofhorror from the spectators
In the court room
Dr.. Lacassagne answered the question.
saying that very short time might be
necessary. Eyraud then inquired whether
the doctor thought he could put body
in sack without help. DR.. Lacassagne
replied that he thought il would not be
impossible.
Eyrsud protested that he could not do
It, adding Il won't ask that expert
ments be made
DR.. Bernard testified that Gouffe's
body was found in sack, head down
ward. The legs were folded up
Eyraud interposed, saying; THAT
could not be. While the body remained
suspended let it slide into the sack, feet
foremost
This curious incident assists to prove
the adsge that truth is stranger than
fiction. Eyraud is such a consummate
criminal that his cold-blooded shrewG-
ness, feline indifference, his skill.
his fearless and startling candor have
placed him among the most distinguished
criminals Of all ages and elevated his
crime to the sphere Of romance. The de-
tails of the crime are so full Of stirring
interest that they rob it Of some Of its
horror and excite q peculiar sort Of feel
ing for Eyraud that approaches human
sympathy.

LAGER SUBSIDIES, MORE ORGANS.
The political philosophers have been
prolific in excuses, apologies and explana.
tions Of the Republican defeat at the
polls. Reed, Mckinley, Cannon, Butter
worth and Harrison have offered various
reasons, all more or less untruthful and
disingsnuous, to account for the phenom
enon.
Now, however, this plethora of hind
sight philosophy, that patriotic states

for his zeal in promptly packing the

that the deplorable condition Of the Re-

with the members. Should he be chosen
