got some kerosene oil, the best antidote

dipping feather into it, began to anoint
the rope. thinking, in mysimplicity, that
they would not like to cross the oil, anu
would be obliged TO find another road.
There was a perfect storm of indiSna-

sides. and threw themselves on the oiled

THE coRsIcAN VENDETTA.
rhe Custom That Has often ExtinGuished
Entire Families.

Should a Corsican, in revenge for in
Jury done to himself or his relations, or
even to his dog or his horse, kill another
with knife or coup de fusil, public sym
pathy sustains him, the hills shelter him,
his relations feed him, and justice, in the
shape of gendarmes, winks with both
eyes unless the murderer be very UNI
popular True, he is termed a bandit
and has To take refuge in the macqui, as
the natural bush is called that clothes
the mountain sides. Well informed Cor
sicans tell one that there are at this mo-
ment in the island over one thousand i'll
hiding.
But please understand the bandit is no
brigand. Should you, defenseless, hap
pen to fall in with him, he will not take
/ your purse, but, on the contrary, offer
YOU food. if he has it, and shelter in his
cave. and most probably refuse any pay
ment for his hospitality. 1t is only his
foes family against which he wages war.
and of course in self defense with the
gendarmes These latter he will shoot
with as much unconcern as woodcock.
And yet, though the Corsican will not
rob YOU. il is not because he does not love
money. For very few francs, both
Corsican gentlemen and English resi-
dents aver, YOU can find a man who will
do your killing for you and rid you of
your enemy with knife or bullet, And
while this utter contempt for human
life prevails there can be no hope of the
extinction of the vendetta.
An English gentleman, Capt. g., who
has now lived for some ten or fifteen
years in Corsica, on his own property
told me the following story: 1T seems

THERE are those who find fault
with officers for not arresting per-
sons who are suspicioned for the
commission of crime or misdemean-
ors. 1t is we'll to understand that
its a dangerous matter to arrest and
imprison a man without a warrant
from a Court. A heavy suit for
damages can be sustained for arrest
ing and imprisoning a man who is
not proven guilty. An officers
authority is a warrant from q Court.
If any person wishes an officer to
arrest man, let that person file an
affidavit charging that man with a
crime, then the magistrate has au.
thority to issue a warrant. And
when that warrant is placed in the
hands of the sheriff constable or
marshall, he has the right and its
his duty to arrest.

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE
WHISKY TRAFFIC.

UNDER the reign of the whisky
and beer dynasty, the Democratic
party is standing on dangerous
ground as to the rights of the people
of the states. 1t looks now like the
policy and doctrines of the two old
parties would be to some extent
changed.
The Democracy for years has
been the special friend of the doc
trine of states rights, and against
a centralized grovenment. But the
recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the interest of the whisky
and beer makers, has changed the
relative position of the old party.
The Republican party never was
in favor of a centralized govern
ment, nor was it in favor of DONNA
ting the rights of the states. Their
policy was for each to fill alone the
measure Of legitimate power, guar
anteed or reserved, that belonged to
them. While under the Constitu.
ton Congress alone possesses the
right to regulate interstate COM
merce, yet up to the time of prohib-
tory laws, in any state against the
introduction of intoxicating liquors
this question has not been up fol-
decision. If intoxicating liquors are
legitimate articles of commerce, i
would be out of the power ola state
to frame laws against its introduc
ton from other states.
The TIMES has always believed
the question of the manufacture ant
sale of liquors was the subject o
control alone by the police power o
a state. The late decision of tn
highest tribunal, has recognised thi
murderous traffic as legitimate com
merce, and thus transfers the RICH
to Congress to deal with it or els
by general law, transfer the powe
to the states to be regulated by tn
laws of each, as her people ma,

PROFITABLE INVESTMENTS.

HE TIMES was sent proposition
to advertise the great town of Ak
ron, Colorado, for which we were to
receive lot in Oak Park worth
500 to $3.50. The TINES bit at the
offer and they sent us deed which
contained a provision, that if not re.
corded in thirty days it was worth
less, and a confidential note saying
that the law of Colorado gave the
recorder $3.50 for recording a deed,
but for the benefit of the land COM
pany they had arranged with the
recorder to take $4.85 for his pay.
The Company was giving the lots
to editors for advertising the village
of Akron, which had one railroad
and there was talk of another, and
they expected to build 5000 dol
lar water works, and was going to
have a sanitarium near Oak Park
for the benefit of the editors who
were to come there once a year to
look after the little piece Of dirt
given him by the land Company.
These lots were in size "a feet
wide and 1O4 feet deep; about nine
to the acre. They were laid off %
in a line, so in a block, 1000 in the
Park, which would pay the recorder
SO, 700 for recording the deeds. AS
there were a great number of per-
sons here who wished this Office in
Blount but could not get it, we ad-
wise those who feel they cannot wait
to 60 to Colorado, take a new county
even if its in the desert, lay of a
town and give the lots away to all
who will record the deed, and your
whole life is made up. Make the
lots small so . man will have to buy
at least three on these terms to gel
land enough to build q shanty,
Then if there is money in the con.
Germ appraise the lots at $50 and
put the tax at 5 cents to the dollar
and you win get all the lots back
for non-psyment Of taxes. Then
sell the lots to some other greer
editors or let the desert claim then
as her own. Then lay off . new

conscience to do that. Well, YOU
