No Republican Capital in This.

1t has been more than a month sincs
colcred boy named Ladd was killed by
party of white men in Henry county, In
diana, and yet no republican newspaper or
politician has denounced the crime. This
cannot be because they knew nothing of it.
The particulars were sent out by the Asso-
ciated Press, and although they were
promptly suppressed by most of the repub-
lican organs, they must have been given
sufficient publicity in other newspapers to
attract the attention of the republican poll
ticians Why are they allowed to pas unno-
ticed by those who usually give all of the
prominence possible to the killing
in the south of a colored man ly
white man! The answer is easy.
Ladd was not killed in the south-he
was killed in the banner Republican county
of President Harrison's state, and there was
something particularly brutal about the
killing. Our readers probably remember
the circumstances. The boy had dispute
with a druggist, against whom he made
threats. A party of men, friends of the
druggist, armed themselves, and laid in
wait for him. When he got In
shooting distance they came out
from their places of concealment and
chased him mile, firing at him as he ran.
until he fell riddled with bullets. If this
| bad occurred in the south, the republican
organs would have given perhaps several
columns to it, editorialy and otherwise,
| from time to time, and Senator Chandler
would probably have twisted it into polit-
ical murder and demanded senatorial in
vestigation of it, for the sake of political
capital.
1t is not surprising that strong repub-
lican county should be the scene Of such an
| occurrence. Many of the most notorious
&C of lawlessness that have been COM
mitted in the last ten years have been in
republican strongholds. fancy county,
Missouri, the home of the Bald Knobbers,
is republican county; the most relentless
feuds of kentucky and West Virginia are
in republican counties; the Kansas towns
which occasionally declare war against each
other are in republican counties. The Re-
publican party is far from being the party
Of law and order.

Alleged Charlie Rosses.

For number of years after Charlie Ross
was kidnapped in Philadelphia his father
visited place after place to see boys who, it
was represented, might be his lost son. In
every instance he met with disappointment,
until at length his heart grew sick with
hope deferred, and he apparently despaired
of recovering his child. 1t has been nearly
sixteen years since the kidnapping, but
even yet some one turns up now and then
whose life history suggests that he may be
the boy who was stolen in 1874. A few
months ago the MORNING News received
letter from young man in a Georgia town,
who said that some of his friends thought
he was probably Charlie Ross, and he
seemed inclined to think that they might be
right. AS nothing else has been heard from
him it is supposed that Mr.. Christian Ross
dill not take the same view.
few days ago young man living in
Port Allegheny, Pa, was added to the list
of alleged Charlie ROSES. and the citizens of
that town are said to believe firmly that
the mystery which has remained unsolved
for nearly sixteen years is about to be ex-
planned. Tie story which the young man

his eventful career carries him back to the
time when he was years old, and when he
was under the care of man known as
doc" He was taken to Masonville,
N. j., and placed in charge of a
grocer named iced, to whom it was
represented that he had been an in
mate of an orphans home. Mr.. iced sub
sequently discovered that this was not true,
but he kept the boy until he was nearly
seventeen years old, and then allowed him
to go to Port Allegheny. The young man
is about twenty years old, and he says that
he has long believed he was Charley Ross
but that he did not wish to appear be-
fore Mr.. Christian Ross without more SUBJ
stantial evidence than he possessed. A
meeting with MIR. Ross has been arranged.
OF course it is possible that Charlie Ross
is still alive, but even if he is he has proba-
bly, lost his identity and will never be re-
stored to his parents. At any rate, they
have abandoned the search for him, and
they would never have done so if they had
thought there was still chance to find
| him.

The Best We Can.
From the Ne1c York Herald.

When things don't go to suit us,
Why should we fold our hands,
And say. mo use in trying,
Fate battles all our plans"
Let not your courage falter,
Keep faith in God and man,
And to this thought be steadfast--
"l'l do the best can"
If clouds blot out the sunshine
Along the way you tread,
Don't grjeve in hopeless fashion
And sigh for brightness fled.
Beyond the clouds the sunlight
Shines in the eternal plan;
Trust that tue way will brighten,
And do the best you can.
Away with vain repinings;
Sing songs of no. e and cheer,
Till many weary cUiuraie
Grows stroug of heart to hear.
He who sings over trouble
Is aye the wisest man.
He can't help what has happened,
But-does the best he can.
So if things won't go to suit us,
Let's never fume aud fret,
For finding fault with fortune
Meier mended matters yet.
Make the best of whate'er happens,
Bear failure like a man;
And in good or evil fortune
Do just tle bsst you can.

testants here on time, and if we do nothing
else we can show up the scoundrelism of
Harrison's conduct in the matter. You

everybody here now knows, thank

Two of New York's ex-mayors, Messrs.
Hewitt and Cooper, are enthusiastic over
the possibilities of the iron industry of the
south, and their enthusiasm found ex-
preston IN large investments of capital.
Ex-Mayor Hewitt, it will be remembered,
visited the south last year for the first time
in many years, aud his subsequent invest
ments in southern property are the result
of that visit. A visitor TO the south can
hardly fail to be impressed with her great
capacity for DEVELOPMENT.

nearly 5000 more votes than the republican,

candidate had not received at the polls a

New York is demanding that if the

new vote in the House as to the location :;
and if another vote is taken, with the I'M
Outstanding that no fair shall be held II
the year 1892, it is highly probable that
New York will be victori )us. A good many
republicans voted against New York be-
cause they had been told by Boss Platt and
others that to hold the fair in New York in
1892 would be to make New York state
strongly democratic that year. They had
no other reason. They would not vote the
same way if the date were fixed for 1898.
But how in the world can we celebrate the

America by a fair in 1S93l We might as
well have Fourth of July fire works and

seems to be the Granny Blair of Manitoba.
1t is pretty hard thing to say about him,
but still the inclusion is irresistible. He
arose few days ago to speak ON the educa-
tional bill, and he intended to make sort
of serial out of his speech, just as Senator
Blair did, and he didn't expect to get through
in less than three days. He bobbed up well
loaded, but the House decided that he must
say everything he had to say before he
stopped, and the consequence was that after
he had spoken nine hours he yielded tho
floor, being completely exhausted He had
taken his lunch while speaking, as he was
not allowed to stop longer than thres min
utes at time. This was great scheme on
the part of the House, and it is to be
regretted that our own sedate Senate did
not think of something of the kind when
Senator Blair arose to claim its attention.
