NEXT week William Kemmler, the murderer, will, at Auburn, N. Y., suffer the penalty for his crime of death by electrlcty. Unless some un- expected stay is granted, a jury of twenty-two men of science will gather in a room of that sombre build ing to watch the flight of the soul of Kemmler by the medium of electric spark. On their judgment whether this mode of capital punishment is hu- mane or cruel much depends. It is the trial of a law which to many minds IS almost revolutionary, it is the test of means of death which, undreamed of ten years ago, is adopted by a state as its official punishment for murder and accepted by a large portion of the scie en- tific world as the best one possible. Will liam kemmler Is the "subiect" for this experiment.. Of course this matter pos sssses an enormous interest to thousands of people. The eyes of the scientific world are on it.
 THE OLD SOLDIER GETTING LEFT.
 The old soldier continues to get badly left. The latest victim of this admlnis- tration is Charles F. Lewis, a veteran oi the war and republican, who was chic , of the postage stamp division in the post office department. He was appointed by Mir Dickinson, when the latter succeeded MT Villas. For the greater part of twenty years he had been employed in the treasury department. Mir Dickinson found him occupying responsible place in the internal revenue bureau, where, during eleven years he had handled over S2 ,OOO, ,0OO, ,OOO worth of in ternal revenue stamps, and his accounts had never failed to balance to the penny. The office of chief of the postage stamp division was vacant when Mir Dickinson became postmaster general, and at his request it was filled by Mir Lewis. A short time ago Mir Lewis was astonished to read in a newspaper that a new chief of his division had been appointed by Mir Wanamaker. He was interested in the matter enough to go to the postmaster general and ask what it meant The good MT Wanamaker assured him that the news item was correct. Ills successor has been appointed witho t waiting to ask him to resign or to notify him that he was dismissed. Mir Lewis wanted further information and MT Wanamaker told him that there were no charges of any kind against him. "But,' the postmaster general remark ed, "you were appointed by democrat and have serred year under republl can administration. You're democrat and it's time you went out"

The outlook is, that this obnoxious
measure, which will work great injury
to Southern farmers, will pass Congress.
We had hoped that the Western farmers
would aid the South in preventing the
passage Of this sectional and uuconsti-
tutional legislation, directed at cotton
seed, but they are looking after the
Western hog.
Again the interest OF The southern
farwcr has been sacrificed to the greed of
the Western hog-raisers and the North
ern hog-makers. The imposition of a
tax on lard made from cotton seed will
be serious injury to the cotton plant
ers, and it affords us pleasure to know
that every Southern Democrat has or-
posed this unjust legislation. Weeks

A Railroad in Il Muddie.
(By nited PreSs.)

New YORK, Aug. 2l.-A special to the
World from Bristol, Tenn, says: Judge
r. A. Richardson of the court Of appeals,
of Virginia, on Tuesday appointed John
M. Bailey receiver Of the South Atlantic
& Ohio railroad.
Before Bailey arrived all the rolling
stock of the company was sent to the
other end of the road and the wires cut.
The books, papers and money of the
company were securely locked up, and
the officers went over the line into len
nessee to avoid service of process.
Later the officers Of the road secured an
order from the United States court re-
straining Bailey from interfering with
the property, and the road is still IN the
hands of the old management.

What a Chronicle Correspondent
Thinks About the Lights.

Especial Cor. of STATE CHRoNICLEl
I see in this mornings issue an article
on our city lights which goes right square
to the point, as the CHRONICLE usually
does, except one cause of the trouble
not touched upon is the limited number
of lights il use compared with the area
to be lighted. l hope the authorities
will finally heed the complaints that are
SO frequent, and begin to understand
that the citizens are thoroughly in ear
nest about this matter
AS to the matter of gas, we certainly
should not go back to it unless there is
no other remedy for US, but if this is
the case, why, give us gas or something
We are tired of the power business.
They say to US: "Wait, we will give you
a 1900 power light soon, and you will

AsHEvLLE, August 19.-Possibly at no
time in the history of the State has there
been so much guesswork and prophesy-
ing as to whom the "lightning will
strike" in the Democratic Congressional
Convention which meets here August
27th. You hear all kinds of specula-
tons on the streets. The fight in the
convention may end on the first or
second ballot, and it may possibly go to
a hundred or two. At any rate, it will
be no Walk-over.
Vance will enter the convention the
strongest, but whether he can receive
enough votes to nominate him is the
question.
Johnston, Merrmon, Gudger, Elias,
Crawford and Coke all have their fol-
lowers. Coke also poses as the farmers
candidate. Although millionaire and
''close as the bark on a tree," Col Cox
has the good of the farmers at heart and
will soon open bank in Asheville with
capital of 100000 which will loan
money at 6 per cent.
The convention of the Farmers Alli-
ance was in every respect worthy of
that honorable body. A large number
were present. Their proceedings were
all secret, but it has leaked out that two
hundred and forty resolutions were pass
ed while they were in session.
Real estate transfers still occur Only
a few days ago Hon. T. D. Johnson sold

TURN ON THE LIGHTS.

[Spe cial Cor. of STATE CHRoNICLE.l
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 21.--The people
applaud you and your progressive daily
for the suggestions and intimations
which were SC well said in yesterdays
issue, about the muddle in which the
Board of Aldermen of this city have in
yolved themselves touching the matter
Of city lights. The wiShy Washy, passive
policy of those having the matter in
charge is certainly reprehensible and
leads, no doubt, TO the absurd proposition
now laid before the board by the
Raleigh Lighting company. The long
delayed settlement of a matter Of sucn
vital interest to our citizens, and that
too, after the matter has been adjuste d
by arbitration, is enough itself to Justify
the Lighting company IN the hope that
they have only to play a namby pamby,
procrastinating game, AID that they will
ultimately win to repeat: such course
is reprehensible on the part Of the rep
resentatives of the people.
The board should hold a meeting, sum
mons the Lighting company before it,
and learn once for all, whether the com
pany proposes to fulfil its contract with
| the city and if SO, let them have q
| time defined in which to do SO; and if
not let them say SO, in which latter
| event the board should at once, without
further delay, proceed to rescind the
contract and take such further action
as the nature of the case demands. This
action would get the matter in definite
shape for adjustment, and would meet
the hearty approval Of q taxpaying pub
lie. Would the board adopt such {
dilly- daily policy as has characterized
their action in this matter, were it thei
own business The people have waited
long and very patiently-"they wan

should be paid for them" Delay i
