And what need we ask more than this?

Geography and Cruelty.

GcGSrApHhy anu cruelty.
We are all greatly shocked over the
fogging of a lady, a political convict,
in Siberia, of which news has just
reached the regions OF civilization.
How much better are we in this highly
cultivated land?
A few days ago a woman living in
Barnwell county, South Carolina,
ventured to differ from some of her
neighbors on politics. Thereupon a
number of women dressed up in mems
clothes and armed themselves with
hickory withes. They called at
the woman's house at night,
took her from the midst
of her wailing children, dragged her
some distance from the house in her
nisatdTess and then inflicted On her
q shameful whipping Of such sever
ity that we are told they left her
'snearly dead They warned her.
too, that if she remained in the neigh
borhood they would come back the
next night and Finish her." When
she got back to her house, she found
one of her children dead.
It's interesting to note that this
case varies from the usual Southern
outrage in that the whippers were
of the Republican persuasion, while
the victim was a democrat.
Ofcourse such All occurrence would
be an evidence of savagery in Siberia,
but what is it in the United States.
The Harrison Pool Room Scandal.
Last week we served notice ON
whom it might concern that the
Harrison pool rooms, temporarily
closed on account of the publicity
given them by this paper. would
probably be opened again in a few
days. We warned the authorities to
be on the watch, and they would
probably find an early opportunity to
make an effectual raid.
The raid might have been made any
day this week. 1t has not, and, lest
the public officials should forget ali
about it, W. SEN down yesterday
afternoon to see just what the state Of
affairs might be.
The result of the investigation APP

lied 1t amounts to this
Most of the gamblers have been
afraid TO open SO far. They have a
~ .E
wholesome idea that a live newspaper
is after them, and will make things
decidedly uncomfortable if they at
tempt to resume their nefarious work.
But there is one gambler who thinks
he has q pull, who has a pull,
perhaps. He has not been afraid to
start a new den, and he is now opera
ting it under circumstances even
more disreputable than before.
1t now looks like a skin game. The
victims are deprived OF the small pro-
lection afforded by the presence
of the telegraph instrument in
the room with them. 1t is pos
sihle for the gamblers to keep,
on taking bets long after they know
the result of each race, and thus
swindling wholesale the unfortunate
gulls who come to them to be plucked.
The whole situation is infamous. 1t
is a disgrace to sport, 1t is an out
rage on law.

ter Of a century ago throughout
certain portions of the country
the strife existing was so sgreat that
two men were nominated by two political
parties. The campaign was a warm one
and Abraham Lincoln was elected. The
dissatisfaction among the people continued

from the Union. Then came the bloodiest
struggle ever recorded.
