foretell, but Judging from what Senator
Chandler has given to the public con-
corning this butchery, there is little
hope that the perpetrators will be
brought to justice, as that would mean
that they should suffer death. White
men in the South can seldom find white
men guilty of crimes committed against
Colored ones much less subject them to
the death penalty. A white man was
hung in Georgia last week for killing a
Colored man, and he was the first one
to suffer, though thousands have been
as guilty as he, but no white men will
be hung in Barnwell for the murder OF
those eight Colored men is our opinion.

QUITE A POINT.

The kansas Attorney General-Elec Has
something to Say About the Marion
County Toss Up.
TOPEKA. Kan, Dec. John n Ives,
rney-General-eiect says that the
action of the State Board of canvassers
in declaring Rood, Republican, elected
to the Leg stature from Marion County
over Maxwell, Peoples party, by lot to
settle tie vote, does not finally dispose
of the case. The Board of Canvassers. 4"
said he, lis not authorized to gamble
any man into office The Constitution
plainly says that the candidate receiv-
ing the most votes shall be declared
elected 1t makes no provision for the
emergency of tie vote, except in the
case of Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, when it delegates author
ity to the Legislature to elect these
officers AS the Legislature has no an
thority to elect a Representative in case
of tie of two or more candidates it
has no right to delegate that authority
to the Board of CanvasserS think that
it is clear that as the people of Marion
County have made no choice of a men,
Der of the Legislature, that the office is
vacant and the certificate of election is
sued to Ms. Rood is worthless. and that
it remains for the Legislature to declare
a vacancy and notify the Governor to
call a special election. OF course the
Legislature can recognize Mr.. Roofs
cert ficate of embership as it has the
supreme right to decide who its membe
shall be, but it would certainly have the

Indians had left Rosebud agency since
the removal of the camp on White river

were strong symptoms of disintegration,

be willing to come back to the agency.
General Brooke also said that from all

ma jority of the Indians wanted to come
back. War Department officers are

PENSION SHARKS.
How They Fatten at the Expense Of the
Old Soldiers.

How They Fatten at the Expense Of the
Old Soldiers.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6-Secretary No
BILE has been paying considerable atten-
ton lately to the subject of attorneys
fees in pension cases and is formulating
a plan by which claimants for pensions
who are not represented by attorneys
may be placed upon the same footing
as those who are. 1t is proposed to Or
ganize force within the Pension Bu-
reau, at the head of which will be
placed thoroughly competent pension
lawyer whose business it will be to look
after the interests of these unrepre-
scented claimants
In speaking of the question Of attor-
ney fees, Secretary Noble expressed
himself with some warmth. Think of
it." said he, the Pension Bureau is
now issuing between $4,000 and Is, 900
certificates a week. What does this
mean to attorneys? It means that they
moneys appropriated by Congress to re-
lieve the necessities of our old soldiers
between $50 600 and 1915, 600. Under
the old laws an attorney could charge
and collect fee of SIS on every case
brought to successful issue, and in
the cases now being allowed, even at
the new fee of $40 per case, the attor-
neys would realize $3.50, 600 week"
II look over the lists of attorneys,
continued the Secretary, land l find
that very many of them are men who
upon their knowledge of the law could
not build up even a petty practice be-
fore county justice Of the peace, but
here in Washington they manage in
few years to accumulate ZOO. 600 or
more acting as so-called attorneys for
pension claimants. And then it would
be some comfort if they would leave the
old soldiers with one fee, but some of
them work them as saw people work
cotton seed in my trip to the South this
fall They gin them in for an original
pension and then gin them over for an
increase. and this process of ginning is
kept up SO long as any thing remains l
am becoming thoroughly convinced that
someth ing should be done, and that
soon. too. to relieve the old sold ers of
this grievously heavy burden. When l
think of my old comrades in the war
being obliged to contribute to the
maintenance Of these people can
hardly restrain my Indignation, and be-
fore long hope to be able to mature a
plan by which some of them at least
may have their claims looked after
without having to pay over the first
fruits to pension agents"

MINERS MISTAKE.
Tho Error tho Minister Committed in Sur

The Error tho Minister Committed in Sur
Omcers.
WASHINGTON, Deo 6-The President
has sent to the Senate the nomination
of Romaldo Pacheco. Of California, to be
Minister to Central America
The President also transmitted to the
House of Representatives the CORE
spondence grow .ng out OF the killing of
General Barrundia by Guatemalan off,
GERS on board the Pacific steamer Aca-
pulco in the port of Sa. Jose. The cor
respondence was called for by tho reso-
luton Of September "a last
Under date Of September %, in let
ter from Minister Miner to Mr. Blaine,
which was received October Q, in which
the Minister justified his course which
led up to the killing of Barrundia. he
said he called on the Minister of For
eign Relations for an explanation of the
affair. In this interview the Minister
stated with emphasis that his Govern
ment had given positive orders to take
Barrundia from the Acapulco Company,
even to sinking the ship, Iotwithstand-
ing 1t might have involved . conflict
with the United States two war vessels.
This he said. would have been in tho
exercise of the undoubted right of his
Government over its own waters,
in which he was confident the laws Of
nations would have sustained him. Mr..
Miner said he had never heard of these
orders before. He then gives the de-
cision of Secretary Bayard on the Gomez
Mexican case in support of his action
and concluded: Il confidently add that
nothing will tend so much to the estab-
lishment of permanent peace in this
Republic as plain declaration that our
fleet of steamers can not be used in
local waters as an asylum for revolu-
tionists"
The correspondence closed with let
ter from Secretary Blaine to Mr.. Miz-
ner, dated November IS in which he
reviewed the case at length in all its
bearings and said that 1.-The more thu
question is examined in the light of i'm
portant facts tardily disclosed the deep
er becomes the regret that you SO far ex-
ceeded your legitimate authority as to
sign the paper which, in the hands of
the officers of Guatemala, became their
warrant for the capture Of General Bar
rundia."
The Secretary contended that the
claim that the Government of Guate-
mala had the right to arrest Barrundia
under its contract with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company was untenable and
attacked each Of the specified remarks
of Guatemala upon the representa- tons
of the United States in this case as i'm
proper and illegal. The case of Gomez,
which Minister Miner offered as an ex-
cuse for his conduct, the Secretary dis
cussed at length and failed to find in it
any support of Miners action
Secretary Blaine closes by informing
Minister Miner that his course is dis
approved and his act disavowed by the
President; that his usefulness in Cen
trail America as a representative of the
United States is at an end, and direct
ing him to turn over his Office to Mr..
K IN berly and return home.

Overcoming Prejudice.

Prejudice is a sad trait of human nature.
A person whose mind is bent on bias does
himself great injustice Said sick man,
whose blood seemed on fire from the effects
of blood poison: Il can't help my prejudice:
! have tried half a dozen remedies. and
they did me no good. l believe all blood
purifiers are hunbugs." do you believe
all physicians are humbugs too." asked the
writer Yes. for l have tried three off
ferent doctors, and only grew worse under
their treatment. l have made up my mind
my case is incurable and death inevitable. y
However, the writer. who was friend OF
the suffering individual, at last succeeded
in overcoming his prejudice and persuaded
him to give DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilia q
trial He commenced its use with no faith
at all, but gooG effects soon followed. and
its continuance brought complete relief
