The Usage News, copying the Times
article says:
The above appeared In last weeks
Cresco Times. There have been SEN
sational rumors flying around Usage
regarding the affair, and we believe
the above, coming from neutral
source, are the true facts in the case,
in brief. While the News is not ia
miliar with all the facts i'm the case,
we are yet fully impressed with the
idea that Mr.. McHugh should have
been permitted to settle his own af-
fairs with Mr.. Mead, while Miss Anna
should have attended to her own
special duties. We believe the courts
and public sentiment give ample pro-
lection to anyone who may be injured
to that extent where woman is JUS
titled in using the above means OF
settling difficulties. Mr.. McHugh is
q man of health, wealth and business.
and ought to be able to take care of
his own affairs. This horse whipping
and shooting business is getting too
common with some women. When
they resort to such acts Of violence,
they are entitled to no more sympa-
thy than would be man. Self pro-
lection is the first law Of nature, and
when one finds the muzzle of q revol-
yer staring him in the face, he is JUS
titled in getting the drop on the
shooter, man or woman. It won't do
to bank on sympathy where you 60

is game of bluff.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Since the convention of last week in south
Carolina the press OF that state have car
ried on the discussion of possible results IN
adIgniGed and calm manner which should set
at rest the fond and delusive hopes OF SOUTH
haters that Mahoneism is TO be established
i'm south Carolina. The tone Of the press
may be ascertained from two facts. one
paper which opposed the Tillman move
ment now asserts that the very position
which the minority took in the convention
leaves them charged with no FUR
ther steps beyond entering pro
test against what they considered
contrary 10 good faith and sound
party principles in the action of the con-
yention going beyond what 1t was called to
do, 10 settle the question of primary cleo
lion. II is concluded that nothing can be
done until meeting Of the straghtout con
ference. All friends of the south, and Of
south Carolina in particular consede that
white supremacy is the paramount ques-
ton in the state. II is announced without
contradiction that anti-Tillman Democrats
and straightout Democrats are prepared TO
sink personal preferences for the unity OF
the party and safety of pure government.
Fair play, moderation, good faith, common
sense. and level heads are the qualities now
demanded OF the white race of south Caro-
lima.
Another paper, which was decidedly
anti-Tillman before the convention, now
SAWS: Each man on each side should see
10 IL that he does no act and says no word
10 weaken the allegiance Of his fellow Dem
ocrat 10 the party. White supremacy Is OF
ten thousand times more importance than
the election or defeat Of Tillman. IL ought
10 be the first thing in every mans mind.
All our energies should be given 10 that
end and all our proceedings should be regu-
lated by IL. These are the important duties
and considerations before us. The situa-
lion Is here and must be faced with all the
wisdom, moderation, courage. and patriot
ism We have. There is no use fooling about
and standing on bubbles OF law and dis
cussioDs Of whether things that have been
done and are before us In solid flesh and blood
and ink ana paper and with solid majorities
behind them were done legally or ile-
gaIIy."

The denomination Of Representative
Ewart, from the Third North Carolina dis
trict. demonstrates that there are still some
sane men in the Republican party. But
why cannot Mr.. Ewart and his supporters
come into the Democratic partys The Force
bill is but the elimination of succession
of outragcs perpetrated by the Republican
party, and Mr. Ewart, in voting against the
bill, and his constituents in renOminallng
him, showed not only their disapproval OF
that bill, but also Of the policy of that party
of which it is the linality. Mr.. Ewari is a
man evidently OF too strong convictions to

NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRACY

Three planks of the platform adopted by
the Democrats of North Carolina entitie
that party to success in the coming cam
paign. These are the denunciations Of the
Force bill and the Tariff bill and the UNI
qualified endorsement Of Senator Vance ioI
reelection in 1891. 1t is true that the Nc
kinley Tarin bill is unjust TO the consum-
ers of the country and promotNe OF trust
combines and monopolies which Cypress
the people: it is true that the purpose OF the
Lodge Force bill is TO establish second
period of reconstruction in the south, Il
subvert the will of the people, and to pro
duce race antagonism and sectional
animOsity; il is also true that while the
Democracy of North Carolina may take a
lust pride in the patriotism and ability OF
its senators and representatives, 1t Is par
ticularY fortunate in having such strong
supporter of the rights OF the people against
tariff oppression. and the Democracy OF
North Carolina shows particular good
sense in declaring its intention 70 keep
Vance in the position where he is able TO do
rood works for his State and for the nation.

REPUBLICANS have been doing all the
revising Of the tariff in the past thirty
wears. That revision has resulted IN IN
creased distress among the principal con-
sinners Of the country, the farmers and
laborers. Why should Republicanism con-
,iuuo TO thrive upon the blood and flesh OF
the great masses; Because the classes
created by the Republican party demand

A REPUBLICAN senator, abiding to the
conference at which it was agreed TO lay
over the Quay resolution, said that it had
been decided better for the Republicans ito
wash their dirty linen behind Republican
doors than in the presence of Democrats"
That was certainly showing degree of
kindness and consideration towards the
Democrats of which the latter cannot be
too appreciatiye.

A CONFEDERATE PLOT.
1t Was Well Planned, But Betrayed by
a Texas Ranger.

1t Was Well Planned, But Betrayed by
Texas Ranger.
Colonel Dulaney, of Bowling Green,
KY, was delegate from his State to
the Horticultural Society meeting just
closed at the Sherman House.
The Colonel has quite record and
often amuses his hearers by relating the
incidents of his past life. Said he to a
reporter: 81 was soldier in the Con-
federate army during the entire period
of the war and belonged to General John
Morgan's command. In 1864, during the
time of the Democratic National Con-
vention held here, there were many
Confederate soldiers smuggled into Chi
cago with view of attempting the re-
lease of rebol prisoners then incarcerat-
ed at Camp Douglas. / at that time oc-
cupied quite prominent position in
that hazardous movement. The time
fixed for action to be taken was in the
earlier part of October, but for reasons
we'll known to the projectors ut that
month later At that time there were
to my knowledge at least 1000 Confed-
crates on the outside Of the prison here
ready and enlisted to assist in the cause
Of securing liberty for those OH the in
side, who numbered about $500. The
Federal troops here numbered about
1900, under the command of General
Sweet. The prisoners were thoroughly
organized and perfectly familiar with
our plans; they were organized into regi-
ments, batallions and companies, and to
man all were ready to make the fight
or break for liberty whenever the order
or rather the signal was given. A great
many of the Federal garrison here were
disabled from sickness and other causes
so as to be unfit for duty, while others
were on leave. All of these facts we
were perfectly familiar with, and we
made our calculations accordingly.
.'our postponement was what cost us
defeat. A prisoner by the name of John
Shank, who had been Captain IN the

Arms about some scenes we bring her

From that dear old home, how gladly

Texas rangers, betrayed MS by exposing
our whole scheme to the Federal Off
cials, and extra precaution was ut once
taken by them and our game was defeat-
ed. For Shank's treachery he received
$4,000 and commission as Captain in
tho United States army, and some years
afterward was killed and scalped by In
dians out on the frontier In the excite
ment created by the exposure of tho
plan to rescue the prisoners escaped
from the city and rejoined my command
in the South, while many OF the con-
spirators were caught, tried by court
martial at Cincinnati and at least twen-
ty of them sentenced to be shot, which
sentence was afterward commuted to
life banishment to the Dry Tortugas
After the war was over all that were alive
were pardoned and returned to their
homes"
When asked IL he was satisfied with
the result of the war Colonel Dulaney
replied: 81 think it was the best thing
that ever happened for the south and
am perfectly satisfied. Chicago News.
