Irving was equally guilty with Phillips
in that brutal aud unprovoked crime.
Irving was used as q witness IN tho trial
Of Phillips, but the latter always de-
clarcd that his testimony was highly ex-
aggorated and false. Tho presence OF

NoruwAY COURTHOUSE, Va, October
2A-Walter Johnson, charged with a
criminal assault upon highly respecta-
bic white woman Of this county, was
brought here last night under arrest,
and was this afternoon examined by
Justice Il. Il. Jones and sent on for in
dictment by the grand jury. Public
sentiment IN this county being so
aroused, Judge Mann deemed it prudent
10 send the accused 10 the jail of the
city of Petersburg for safekeeping,
which was accordingly done.
CONFLICTING STATEMENTS.
The accused nt one time since his
capture confessed his guilt, but subse-
quently claimed that such confession
was extracted from him under fear of
death. His statements are very conflict
ing, and more than once he contradicted
himself.
nIPLICATEs ANOTHER.
He claims that the offence was COM
mitted by another negro who lives in
Amelia county, but who is at present in
tho State Of North Carolina He also
states that the negro now in North Caro-
lima tried to induce him to attempt the
outrage, but he declined and only
came to tho scene Of the outrage in
answer to the screams Of the unfortunate
woman, whom he found lying on the
ground tied and gagged. A telegram
Just received states that the prisoner was
safely landed in the jail at Petersburg.

4 LOGICAL SPEECH,

Judge Mann was next introduced.
Judge Mann is not professional poll
tician, but his speech to-day gave evil
dence Of his thorough knowledge Of the
great issues of the day. There is hardly
a man in Southside Virginia who yields
greater personal influence than he /;
his ability as lawyer and his high
character give him prominence that
few men enjoy. His speech to-day was
remarkable for its point, logic, and
power.

ginning that he would address his re-
marks to the good judgment OF his audi

was received with shouts OF applause.

He was next presented to the

Lathrum's NeighbOr Speaks.

The Gazette, of October 18th, con-
tanned letter from Lone Pine, this
county, which showed the feeling in the
northern part of Whitman concerning
our candidate for sheriff. We give the
article below:
LONE PINE, Wash, Oct. 10, 1890
Ed. Gazette: I read in the Rosalia
Rustler an editorial, paid for by Mclean
no doubt, in which they gave him a
great puff about being such great man,
and good sheriff. 1t is the universal
opinion in these parts that Miller is
virtually the sheriff One thing that
you can depend on if John Lathrum is
elected by the republicans, as he is
certainly entitled to be, he will be the
sheriff, he is well educated and can run
his own office, he is q man that can be
relied upon as an industrious, steady
straight forward, honest man, and as
good a neighbor as any one could choose
to meet. / have known him for several
years and never heard word against
him. The republicans have no reason
this fall why they should not support
him, he has not bought up the news
papers Of this county to puff him up OF
run him into Office as / understand is
the habit of some chronic Office seekers
Stand by Lathrum and you will never
regret it, he will wear. A NEIGHBoR.

Olympia for the Capital.

PULLMAN, Wash, October 20, 1890.
Editor HERALD: There is at this time a
matter that every voter of Whitman
county should carefully consider. The
location of the permanent capital Of our
magnificent commonwealth will be sub
mitted to us for the second time on the
fourth day of next month. There are
three aspirants for this high priced
honor, viz: Olympia, Ellensburg and
Yakima. Of these Olympia seems to be
the favorite and will probably be chosen
by a considerable majority as we be-
ieve it phould be. Olympia has been
the capital ever since The territory Of
Washington was organized and the state
has acquired valuable property there
that would revert to the original owners
in the event of change. The capitol
grounds are in the very heart of the city
and are worth, at a low valuation, one
hundred thousand dollars. The build
ings, while not adequate to meet the
needs of 30 great state as Washington,
will do very well until such time as the
already overburdened taxpayers see fit
to erect state house that will be in
keeping with our greatness. Whitman
| county, as we all know, is the richest
agricultural county in the great North
west, but, being purely an agricultural
district and not having any large cities
to lean upon for support in securing for
herself the benefits to which she is Justly
entitled, she must sometimes persue the
course that wise politician would
under similar circumstances, viz: one of
policy. Now it is fact almost beyond
question that Olympia will be selected
as the permanent capital of the state,
but if by chance she should not and
Whitman county's vote should cause
the capital question to remain unsettled
for another two years, neither the agrl-
cultural college or any other public
buildings will ever be erected east of the
Cascade Range. Let us not foolishly
engender the i'll will of a section of our
state that can forever bar us from re-
ceiving the share of public buildings to
which we are justly entitled. Neither
should we seek to add to our already
burdensome tax. At least SO thinks one
who has for many years been taxpayer
of Whitman county. Il.

Hit The Nail On The Head.

GARFIELD, October 21.-Upon reading
an article in The Newspaper of October
IL signed "Granger," wish to state
that he has struck the nail on the head,
and that we will drive it clear in on No
vember 4. No reasonable man can dis
pute the fact that Mr. F. NJ Ellsworth
is the choice of the farmers for prosecut-
ing attorney. His ability as an attorney
is not to be questioned, and we cannot
every two years. I, for one, am tired
and disguised with this fowery oratory,
that amounts to nothing but wind and
an overdose in the way of taxes. We
farmers out here have decided to educate
40 more students, and by so doing, we
feel assured our taxes will not be a
burden. The Lord knows we have a
hard enough time of it anyway.
Ellsworth is our choice for prosecutor.
TAXPAYER.
The above clipping from the Farming
ton Newspaper, of October 25th, shows
the standing of F. NJ. Ellsworth, repub-
ican candidate for prosecuting attorney
for this county, and we feel assured that
no better choice could have been made
than Mr. Ellsworth. If there Is any
thing the farmers of this country should
seek to reduce it is their taxes; this can
be done by putting good, competent
men into office-men who haye had
sufficient experience to do their duty
fully and well. Vote for F. NJ. Ellis
worth for county attorney.

The Tariff with the Farmer.

Mr.. Cleveland In his message to con-
gress said that the purchaser paid the
tariff as the article protected was en-
HANGED in value to the extent of the
tariff, and such is the statement made by
democratic papers, but they deny that
the tariff of % cents per bushel on wheat
is of any benefit to the farmer because
the price Of wheat, they say, is regulated
by the Liverpool market. Let us
assume that this is true, but, notwith-
standing, we cannot see why the tariff
does not benefit the farmer more than
any other class of citizens. We find in
the Mckinley bill list of articles pro-
duced by the farmer from which we Sc
lect the following:
Horses $50 per head.
Cattle over year old $40 per head.
Hogs and sheep over year old $3.50
per head.
Wheat Is cents per bushel.
Barley 30 cents per bushel.
Flax 30 cents per bushel.
Oats Is cents per busheI.
Potatoes % cents per bushel.
Wool II cents per pound.
These articles are, or can be, produced
by every farmer in America. Now take
a farmer who has 100 acres of land. he
can cultivate 100 acres as follows: %
acres in oats; % acres in barley; %
acres in wheat; d acres in fax and l
acre in potatoes. He can raise 2 horses.
10 pigs, 25 sheep, and head of cattle.
On these articles the tariff account in
favor of the farmer emitting the wheat,
will be as follows:
Two horses. $4,000
Two head of cattle. ...... 1000
twenty-five sheep. ..... 300
1OA Jugs. .s.. 1O.UU
Wool Of sheep. ....... 1850
Oats at 40 bushels per acre. =. 10000
Barley at 40 bushels per acre. 10000
Potatoes, 100 bushels. ...... $500
Flax, 400 bushels. 10000
Total. ............S STA. 90
The price of these articles is regulated
by the supply and demand of American
markets and the supply would be filed
by foreign markets were in not for the
tariff. We are told that whatever ben
eft the farmer receives from the tariff
is more than overcome by the tariff on
what he buys. How can farmer pay
more than he receives on account Of
tariff when his entire purchases for a
year does not exceed half of what he
receives from the tariff alone?
