day was bitter cold, the man was in an unpar-
alleled hurry, and, of course, frantically ex-
asperated at the unavoidable delay, although
nature had done her best to prepare him for
just such an event by wrapping him in 200
pounds or SO of flesh, and covering his head and
chest with mating of thick flaxen hair. The
brawny farmers, leisurely working out their
taxes on the highway, thrust their shovels into
the drift and brought up block after block of
lions not one iota under the fire of the travellers
unreasonable wrath.
At last the road was opened and the leader of
the crew. who, it happened, had an impedimeut
in his speech, gave a wave OF his red-nittaned
hand, saying cheerily:

the stammerer's nose.

Since the recent pan-American congress
Mexico has been aroused to a pitch of the
highest mercurial enthusiasm in favor of
reciprocity. Every few days it is mani
Tested in fresh overtures. Only the other
day Secretary Blaine received a letter from
Senior Carlos Crist of the Agricultural Com
pany of Oaxaca stating that the treaty Of
reciprocity between the United States and
the Sandwich Islands has built up a trade
which last year amounted to S16, 1873, 7S0
Senior Crist says that he does not know why
a reciprocity treaty such as that negotiated
for Mexico and the United States by Messrs.
Romero and Grant would not produce equal
or even greater results, and if so the trade
between Mexico and the United States, if
increased in the same proportions as that of
the Sandwich Islands, might in a short time
amount to s., 900, 600, 900 year. Mexicans,
he says, now purchase every species of COM
modify produced 10 the United States
They cannot purchase in large quantities
because they have not the means of paying
Senior Crist states that he has documents
which would amply prove that all the North
American products find good market in
Mexico. But the greatest difficulty is just
what Senior Crist states. Mexico has no
money. Yet the country is exceedingly
rich in mineral deposits, which would well
repay development On that account alone
a treaty of reciprocity might be greatly to
our advantage. At all events Mexico is our
neighbor and a sister republic and we should
be friendly.

Mckinley to Be Elected.

The republicans appear to be confident
that Mckinley will be reelected. Why ia
it that they are so confdents Ohio has been
redistricted since the last congressional
election, and Mr.. McKinley's district now
contains democratic majority of 1850.
But the republican leaders say that Nc
Kinley will be reelected, and why's Is it
not plain that they expect to buy his re- cleo
tiona
But where is the money TO come FRONT
some one may ask. Those who are bene-
fitted by the Mckinley bill will furnish it.
One of the leading New York importers
said the other day that the Mckinley bill
would put more than ss00.0O0,O0 in the
pockets of those who now hold goods in
which there has been, or soon will be, a rise
in price frotn 10 to so per cent. on account
of that bill.
What an immense sum that is! 1t is
equal to the estimated revenue from tariff
taxes for the next five years. And how
greatly will the protected manufactures be
benefitedl They are not inc.oied in the
$500, 000, 900 robbery.
OF course Mckinley will BE- elected, if
money can elect him, aud so will the repub-
lican candidate for President in 1892 The
only hope is that the people will rise IN their
might against the corrupt use of money in
politics and drive the Republican party
from power.

The petition which the police have pre-
ssnted to the city council for an increase
n their compensation " Il receive, doubt
less, carefalcon liberation. The first cues
ton which presents itsslf in connection
with il is whether the city's finances are in
such healthy state that more money can
be paid 10 the police with
out increasing taxes or neglecting
needed improvements. The city tax rate is
a very high oae-so high, in fact. that il Is
the subject Of great deal of complaint. If
It is raised, it will have a Jends lcy 20 pre-
vent building and drive capital out of the
city. It can be safely said, therefore. that
it would not be advisable 10 raise the rate of
taxation.
All the city's revenues are now used in
the different departments Of the city gov
ernment, and if the expenses of the police
department are increased 10 any consid-
cradle extent other departments viii have
to suffer. There is no surplus in the treas
ury, and if there were there are many
things to which it could be applied with
great advantage to the public. There are
streets which need paving, and there is the
house drainage system about which 50 much
has been said and in behalf of which moth
ing has yet been done. And the new water
works plant, which will cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars. will have to be pro-
vided for within the next two years.
1t is true that the city has quite a large
sum on hand arising from trust lot pay
mentS, but that money cannot properly be
used in meeting current expenses. The
council has not vet determined what it will
do witch it. 1t ought to be applied to the
liquidation of the city's bonded debt, but if
it is not used in that way 1t will be applied
probably to the new water works plant or
the house drainage system.
1t has only been year or two since the pay
of the police was increased, and if the
clty's financial condition was such as to
justify it in doing so it might with pro-
priety consider the petition of the police
with favor, but while so many necessary
things remain to be done it is a question
whether it would be advisable TO increase
the expenses Of the police department..
1t might be well to find out what the COM
pensation of the police of other cities in the
state is. What do Atlanta, Macon and
Augusta pay their pohcel Is not Savannah
paying as much as any one of those cities?

Brutality to a Bandit.

Recent intelligence from the scene of
RUDE Burrows death states that the detec.
tives wilfully slaughtered and barbarously
mutilated him after he had been secured
aud was perfectly helpless. II that is the
case those who were connected with it
should be vigorously dealt with and with
out delay. Because the man happened to
be an outlaw his captors had no more right
to ill-treat him after his capture than if he
bad been any other culprit Of the mildest
character in custody. His desperate character
constitutes no sort of warrant for the brutal
ity Of his captors. Altogether too many
so-called conservators of the peace are
ignorant of that rudimentary principle of
law which assumes a prisoner to be limo
cent until proven guilty. Charge aud con
viction of crime are two different things
PROFESSIONALLY it is very important that
dangerous criminals should be apprehended.
To that end zeal is necessary. At the same
time no law officer, however sagacious, can
be justified in constituting himself bailiff.
court, jury, aud executioner. And the
sooner peremptory stop is put 30 that sort
of lawlessness the better for the community.
Exceeding authority is but another way of
violating the law. IL should not be toll
Grated.
This brings to mind rather a remarkable
| occurrence that transpired just prior to the
death of the outlaw. One day he entered
the Office Of a prominent attorney at Brew
ton, Ala. and disclosing his identity asked
the legal gentleman to draw up his will
Whether the attorney shook anything off
| the desk is not related. But he agreed to
draw the will before his visitor had occasion
to draw anything else. Certainly! He
would be very happy to do just anything
that Col. Burrows might suggest. But
Burrows was not at all fierce. He said ne
had been outlawed without fair show and
he wanted to provide as best he could for
his family. as he might be killed any
minute.
Bad as this man was, in his fierce way he
was as fond of his kindred as any of u.s. Much
more kind to the helpless was he than many
men of better repute He was never
accused of a cowardly act. No gospel
minister could have been more thoughtful
than he. How much alike is all human
nature!
