II looks strange that the good
and intelligent people of the coun-
try can not see and understand
these things, or, if they do sec
them il is still stranger that they
will allow It without protest.
Upon investigation it will al
most certainly be found that that
very negro was last August fur
nishcd whisky by two officers of
the law to secure his vote, one be-
ing the brother and the other the
nephew of the murdered man.
The Lexington Leader, the
organ of the "high moral" Rcpub
lican party closes its account of
the murder in the usual sterco-
typed explanation of ntucky
crimes.
The Leader says: "Duncan has
the reputation of being hard drin-
ker and a quarelsome man, and
is believed to have been more or
less intoxicated at the time he
committed the crime.'
You can turn over to the Lea
der's editorials and there is the
everlasting old grind about DEM
Gratis and Republicans, and a lot of
old worn out stuff about things in
States a thousand miles off, but
there is no suggestion that he
should for a few moments halt in
the consideration of tariff and pro
lection, and do something to stop
the cause of this crime that lays its
bleeding victims at our doors.
Missionaries come from India
and arouse our people to the i'm
portance of sending money there to
stop the people from worshipping
a white elephant, or to China to
stop their worship of some little
sticks in a flower pot, and they will

so intensely religious. But you
may beg them in vain for contri-
button to a cause that wants to
save women and children from the
that has fallen upon
DIR. GOrham's family: and the very
people who will go and sympathise
with that family and help bury
heir dead, and look for his MUIR
lerer; good doctors and Sunday
school superintendent and church
,oers though they be, will, at the
very next election buy whisky and
give it to negroes to get their votes.

er of an India Missionary

life in India, he only made three

Give us MahOmmetanism, whose
