created a considerable sensation. One was
10 the effect that J. c. Parrish, who was
hanged here on Friday, had fallen into the
hands Of his friends and mad been restored

had been exhumed by body-snatchers from
the burying-ground for the county poor
where he was inferred, and his body had
been taken 10 Shaw University, colored
institution here, for purposes Of dissection.
Investigation revealed the fact that Parrish
bad himself agreed that his body should be
dissected after he was executed, and that
that part Of the story was 10 that extent
true.
A night or two ago as an east-bOund train
was running into Hot Springs, man by
the name Of Van Henderson, after firing on

dashed against the rocks Of the road-bed.
He was at once picked up and carried ON
stretcher 10 the house Of a relative in the
village. He lived only few hours. Hen
dersOn was a tough character. and had been
arrested at Hot Springs for creating dis
turbance. He was intoxicated on the train
and had been making a row. Fearing arrest
when he should reach Hot Springs, he con-
cluded that he could jump from the train
and 90 into the town unObseryed.

loo, 900, 900 of human beings; Spain has
coloniZed in Mexico and in the South
American states. The eastern states of
our union, all of the old thirteen col
onies have sent forward the bone and
sinew of their population, those who
could not have all their demands sup
piled at home to their own satisfaction,
to these western states. This law of
supply and demand has led to all these
migrations and colonizations, to the
building up of all these states and en-
pires, and thus far the opportunity to
cOloniZe and migrate sustains and sup
ports them all. The regions Of the
earth to which colonization and emf
grafton may still go are
ALMOST WITHOUT LIMIT.
South America could absorb and well
supply a large portion of the present in
production Of our own country is hardly
capable of estimate. Eastern Asia is
still in the possession of unproducing
nomads. We may fondly hope, and
trust reasonably conclude, that by the
time the whole earth is occupied by
those driven from their native land by
unjust laws of unwise systems, that
necessarily reduce them to a state
where the ordinary demands of their
nature cannot be supplied, either that
some philosopher will have devised a
system of government whereby every
citizen, with his posterity. will receive
his full share of the supplies produced
or designed for him. OF that the whole
race of mar will so far have adopted the
doctrines formulated and uttered by
divine wisdom, "WhatSoever you
would that others should do to you, dc
We even to them" SO that every one may
sit in peace with all demands properly
supplied under the ancestral vine and
tree from generation to generation, and
from age to age.

ROOSEVELT REPORTS,
Continued From First Page.

Mr.. Magone, there was an apparently
widespread, but not universal,
and by no means always success
full, effort to eyade the law by
persuading or forcing the Republican
clerks to contribute. Some list of these
Republican clerks must have been
kept. because they were especially sin
gled out for more or less indirect solicit
tation, either personally or by circular;
and there is the testimony of n wit
ness that this solicitation was under
taken by the express command of Mr..
Magone's private secretary (there being
nothing to show, however, that Mr.. Ma
gone was aware of his secretary's ac-
tom. On the other hand, there was
certainly
NO COERCION
of these same clerks: for, as a matter
OF fact, very many of them refused to
contribute, and nevertheless were not
mOlested or account of their con-
duet. Moreover. the effort to
make them contribute was always
made indirectly, and usually so
~guardedly that it is difficult to say if
the law was actually violated in its let
te:. In the surveyors Office, under Mr..
Beattie, the contributions, as far as is
shown by h testimony of the twenty
eight witnesses examined, were uni
versal. The Democrats generally gave
their money of their W accord. but all
the Republican clerks were practically
forced against their will to pay what
were in reality political assessments for
the benefit of the party to which they
were opposed. This was accomplished
by a very ingenious and widespread
system OF yelled threats and covert in
timldation, so well carried out that it
was completely successful, the extent
OF the success being shown by the fact
that.all. wen the most unwilling of the
clerks whom L examined, were in the
end forced to pay. Every meth
cd was reSorted to to eXtort
the contributions, while at the
same time avoiding the actual demand
of money. For instance, some of the
witnesses were forced to contribute by
being made very uncomfortable in their
work until they did SO. They were
originally at work at stations neal their
homes, and were suddenly shifted to
others far distant and very inconven-
lent for them to go to, Their inquiries
tailed to discover the reason for the
change, and they were kept at the new
stations until they finally made up their
minds to pay, when they were usually
promptly transferred back to their old
posts without a word being said" Mr..
Roosevelt has made specific recon-
mendatiOnS in the cases of d number of
employees of the custom house, which
will not be made public until they have
been submitted to the proper prosecut-
ing officers.

the difference in the costs of supplying
with food the seventy million of inhab-

at 10 cents a day and 20 cents a day.
For a single day the difference is $1,000

In connection with this consider the
difference in the average earnings of
the people as equal to 10 cents per
day for a single year. The same
result is reached a difference of s 2,555.-
600. 600. Hence the difference between
a national policy that will enable the
people to earn 10 cents a day more, and
subSist on 10 cents a day less, and a GER
tain ether national policy that makes the
difference to the whole mass in a single

TOP Or
a Novel Dice Trick That Brings
in Money.

Several young men were in a South
end resort one evening lately shaking
for the drinks, when suddenly n of
the fellows, a young man who is reck-
oned as one of the coming lights Of the
political arena, said:
"Let me take that dice box a minute
1t was handed Owe to him, and. TAX
ing out four of the five dice which were
in it be handed them to the b~arkeeper,
and turning the box on end he placed
the remaining dice on it, and taking his
hat from his head covered the box and
dice with it.
where is that dice noW?" he asked
one of the men standing about.
con top of the box, of course" was
the reply, that is, if you haven't
shifted it since you put the hat down."
Il have not" said the young poll
tician, and he lifted the hat again, and
sure enough, there sat the dice on the
box, just as it had been before.
He sat the hat down again and took
his hand away from it, while he asked
the same question he had asked in the
first instance.
ION top of the box, of course" re-
peated the man who had been ques-
toned.
You saw it there, did you2"
Certainly"
"Would you bet that it is on the top of
the box?"
"Of course [ would"
"I,ll bet you a dollar that it isn't
where you say it is"
"AIl right" and the men put up their
money.
The first man lifted the hat,and there
sat the dice as before. "What did l tell
you?" exclaimed the second. sT've
won. There is the dice on top Of the
box"
Hold on a minute" exclaimed the
young politician. "When you come to
think of it, wouldn't it be rather a diff
cult task to set up a dice on the top of
a dice-box when there is only a very
narrow edge to set it on? If you will
look carefully you will see that that dice
is resting on the bottom of the box, in
stead of the top. l guess the money is
mine, MI. Stakeholder"
That's So" exclaimed the other man
who had bet, sit is the bottom of the
box, isn'tit?"
slt's a very simple eatch," said the
winner to the writer, ''but it's sure to
catch 80 people out of every 100."
