horrible whitecsp outrage, which oc-
Cured in Calhoun county Saturday

intention of flogging her. They
started to the woods with her but
she broke away and started to
run. She had gone only q short
distance when q volley was fired,
and load of buckshot took effect, in
fiictiDg fatal wound. The white
caps fled when the woman fell, and
she lay there until morning where

CAMPAIGN sLANDERs.

Speaking of the alleged duty Of public
men to meet charges of criminal character
by summoniEg the people making such
assertions to establish them in the courts,
the New York Herald comedies it. But it
introduces a new comparison as follows:
OF course we quite understand that in
modern politics it has become the fashion
when a gentleman is nominated for office to
assume that he is knave. and search the New
gate calendar for epithets of denunciation
But it is a despicable business and does no
good. not even in the way of political advant-
age. Grant was whisky thief" Garfield
"De Golyer pavement fraud" Tilden "rail-
road wreckcr" who lodged his war taxes, and
SO on But were a dozen votes affected by
these slanders?
1t is beyond doubt the case that mud
throwing on slight provocation is altogether
too common in political campaigns. But it
is, for that very reason. the duty of candi-
dates, when false charges are made against
them by responsible parties, to bring the
matter to legal test. 1t is not only for the
clearing of their own good fame, but for the
punishment and suppression of this cam

SUBSIDY AND SHIP CANALS.

The relation of the subsidy bill to the
interests of vessel owners on the great
lakes is discussed in special elsewhere.
The meat of the matter is that it will have
little to do with their business until the st.
Lawrence Canal is deepened, when the
profit that the subsidy would permit for
their vessels on ocean voyages will be over
balanced by the necessity for some such re-
enforcement against the competition of
foreign vessels that will be admitted to the
lakes. The fact of greatest significance in
the article is that within three years Canada
will have a system of canals admitting
vessels of IA feet draft to the lakes. With
such waterways provided by our northern
neighbors, is it not for the interest of
United States vessel owners in particular,
and of the county at large, that the
United States should give its attention to
the connection and improvement of our
internal waterways?

MIssIssIPPPs NEW IDEAS.

The Mississippi Constitutional Convention
certainly ought not to fail in getting salts
factory electoral system for lack of all sorts of
new propositions on the subject of suffrage.
If, with the variety of ideas laid before il,
it cannot devise qualifications for voters
which viii raise the character of the cleo
torate, it will be either because all the sug-
gestions are impracticable or because the real
object of the convention is illegitimate.
The latest addition to the list of educa-
tional and property qualifications, the COM
bination of them with cumulative votes
for those who possess both, the Australian
ballot system and the exclusion of liquor
sellers from the suffrage, is the proposition
that convictions for felony, petty larceny
and selling lottery tickets without license
shall carry disfranchisement The idea of
working out a general disranchisement of
the criminal class is not bad one taken per
Sc; but the selection Of misdeeds which are
to have that result is a singular one. Why
should petty larceny disfranchise man.
while breach OF the peace retains the ballot?
Why should selling lottery tickets be visited
by that penalty, while faro-dealers. and
bookmakers still exercise the full rights of
the voter?
The reason why all the Mississippi efforts
to raise the grade of the voters by excluding
the ignorant and criminal from the bsllol
box are likely to be nugatory is that the
Alississippians are affected by that sort of
color-blindness which makes them anxious
to shut out black ignorance and viciousness,
and leave white ignorance and vice in pos
session of the ballot

THE RIVER COAL TRADE.

The importance to the Pittsburg coal
trade of making the Monongahela river free
Of tolls is shown in local article brought
out by some remarks of Colonel Bayne's in
the House the other day. Three cents ton
does not seem to be very vital burden, but
in competition with other coal districts that
have been aided by Government improve
ments it may carry the difference between
profit and business in which the margin
above cost of production is absent On
total output of 112, 600, 900 bushels it also
reaches very important total.
It is interesting and gratifying to per-
ceive from the same article how, notwith-
standing this burden, the strength of the
Pittsburg coal trade appears in its mag
nificent volume and its success in meeting
competition. Last year was an extraordi-
nary season in the continued facilities
furnished by the high water for
frequent runs of coal, and in the low
prices for coal at the lower ports which
were in great measure q result Of the large
shipments. But the low prices and small
margins of profit justified themselves by
AuCI euCCcse uOh AZ ASsoAhAhS WV AAoA-
kets where our old supremacy was threat
ened; but in reaching out for more extended
markets. BY this means Pittsburg shippers
were able to meet and triumph over the
competition of Alabama coal in New Or
leans, and they also reached large trade in
the growing towns of Texas which would
have been inaccessible at high prices.
This large output at low prices may not
have yielded as rich profits per ton as have
been known in the past; but it is safe to say
that the results have been more satisfactory
than if Trust had been formed, prices put
up and the down-river markets lost. With
the Monongahela river free of tolls, the mis-
sion of the river coal trade will he to supply
the Southwest with fuel, under free compe-
stitiOn, at prices which other fields cannot
touch.

Foster, editor and proprietor at that time; also
Reese C. Fleeson. later. Having left Pittsburg
as home in 1883, have only occasionally had
the pleasure OF looking over the mammoth
pages of your paper, which require more time
than of old, when 10 or 10 minutes was all the
time necessary for its perusal. A few days
ago your lS4O-1S9o Allegheny City Semi-Cen-
tennial souvenir by chance fell into my hands,
and perusal Of It brought plainly to my recol-
lection many familiar faces and old landmarks
remembered by only few men now living

about half a mile below the head of the stream

some way to kill the beast.
He had no weapon except jackknife, but
he spied stone about as big as his two hsts
