WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON d. G. Dec. 80, 1889.
General Hancock uttered q great
truth, when he said n few days after
he was nominated for the presidency
.the tariff is local ISSUE II evil
dence had been necessary to prove
this statement it has been supplied
in large quantities by the state
ments made to the House COM
mittee on Ways, and Means in the
hearing now going on upon the pro-
posed new tariff bill which the repub-
licans of that committee are engaged
in preparing. For instance, the New
England manufacturers say that
unless they are given free coal ore
they will shortly be ruined, while the
iron and coal people Of Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio, to
say nothing of others, stoutly main
tain that unless the present tariff on
coal and iron is kept where it is, or
raised, they will be ruined, and will
have to abandon their mines When
Gen. Hancock called the tariff local
issue the smart-alecks thought it
was because he was ignorant of the
subject, but since then many able
men, after years of study, have ar
rived at exactly the same conclusion,
because there is 10 other logical con-
clnsion. No tariff bill that has ever
been gotten up, or ever will be, will
give satisfaction to the entire country.
1t is simply impossible because the
interests Of one section are always
opposed to those of another
section.

The Barnwell Lynching-.-Thc Sheriff 10
be arrested.

Columbia, s. O., January at
has been stated that the governor
had been applied to by the sheriff
for troops and extra arms and ammu-
nition to guard several towns in Barn
well county, which, ii was stated,
would he attacked Wednesday night
by negroes, that he had ascertained
the alarming reports to be OF o sem
sational character and had refused
both troops and arms. In spite OF
this, however, Barnwell was under
arms last night, and the most ex-
travagant and sensational reports
were circulated this morning. The
town was being burned, surrounded
by thousand negroes who had
sworn to kill every man, woman and
child in the place. AS foretold there
was nothing for the people of Barn
well TO fear. The rumors were with
out foundation, but this did not pre-
vent some Of the most timid ladies
leaving the town, and The citizens
generally seemed to be badly scared.
The county troops were rushed to
the assistance of the town by special
train, but found the hordes OF me-
groes thirsty for blood that they ex-
pected to find were invisible. Tho
unmanly flight of some of the whites
received little sympathy in other
parts OF the State, and the call for
outside troops is unwarrantable.
Tho re- are four or five well armed
companies in the county, infantry
and cavalry, and the authorities here
think the whites should be able to
take care Of themselves. The COVER
nor is being abused by some Of the
State papers for not hunting down
the lynchers. They call on him to
arrest and prosecute the sheriff, who,
it seems, failed to keep q guard at the
jail, MS ordered by the Judge. The
governor has done oil that the law
has enabled him to do. After the
sheriff is arrested, and he will pro-
badly be, the governor can push and
assist in the prosecution. It has
been suggested that detectives be
employed to discover the lynchers.
ALI is quiet in Barnwell to- night.

Mobt Gratis, Beware OF the British Lion.

mVDlctdt5, DoWuIC VI tnc DTitIsu lIlOus
Washington, January 4.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British minister, has re-
ceived petition from Rev Rev. T. M.
Joiner, of Holly Springs, N. O., for
redress for injuries received by him
self and wife at the hands Of mob
at Holly Springs last month. He
states that he is British subject,
that he and bis wife were giving
religious and other instruction to the
negroes at Holly Springs, which
fact, he says, 80 incensed some Of his
neighbors that they broke into his
house and assaulted and maltreated
both himself and his wife. The
crowd was masked and many OF the
number was armed with guns and
pistols. He says he had previously
been warned to leave the place, but
had refused to do 80. When the
mob appeared at his house they dis
charged volley Of bullets into the
room where lie and his wife were
sitting, wonnding him IN the left arm
above the elbow and also in the left
hand. Mrs. Joiner received three
flesh wounds in the scalp and was
knocked down by one OF the men with
his fist. Mr. Joiner says he appeal
ed for redress first to the local au-
thorities, but received no satisfac-
ton. He then came to Washington
with his wife to lay the matter be-
fore the British minister. The latter
IS now investigating the case and ex-
poets to bring it to the attention OF
the secretary Of state rs soon as he
has received the proper evidence.
Mr.. Joiner has been preaching in
North Carolina since 1869.

TWO GOOD SHEEP sroRtEs.
A Follow My Leader Game That Wa
Very Disastrous.

A FOLLOW My Leader Game That Was
Very Disastrous.
From the Potland oregonian.
Several sheep men" from the Inland
Empire were gathered around the stove at
ono Of tho hotels yesterday discussing the
next spring and the profits to be made by
driving sheep to the Willamette 10 winter,
and at last they got to telling stories about
sheep.
One told a story which illustrated the
same follow -my-leader trait in the char
acter of sheep. AT port on the Sound one
evening just after the deck hands had got
all the freight slowed away, there came
sdown 500 sheepto be put on board All
hands We're vexed because of the delay and
trouble connected with shipping them, but
finally q pen was made of hurdles between
decks and gangway rigged and in the
dusk all was ready TO take the sheep On
board, and they were started down the
gangway. The first one, as he struck the
deck, saw an opening in the other side of
the boat, across which hurdle had been
placed. Instead of going along to the corral
prepared, this sheep made running iump
cleared the hurdle and landed in the salt
chuck alongside. Every one of the band
followed suit, and In short time 500 sheep
were struggling in the water. The captain,
having seen the last one go down the blank
yelled out: "All right down there?p An
them down." "Send them down, roared
the captain, "haven't you the sheep down
there 2" Not sheep sir, " was the reply,
and investigation showed that there was
not a sheep on the boat. The captain
could not delay any longer and so Steamed
awav, and only a small number of the
sheep ever got ashore.
