es of London, supported by numer-
GUS trade societies, aggregating S0,-
600 persons, held demonstration in

a tramway strike is imminent. An
active agitation and organizing is
being carried on.

Fifteen Chinese Beheaded.

SAN FRANCISCO, June TO- The
China steamer which arrived last
night brought details of the behead-
ing of fifteen Chinese at Kowoloon,
opposite Hong Kong.
Among the victims were three
leaders of the pirates who looted the
steamer Namoa Ave months aga, kill
ed the Captain and mate, and secured
$40. 900 in coin and goods.
A great crowd witnessed the spec
tacle, which was made more repulsive
by the cynical jesting of the chief
pirate.

Tie Cheek-Mial case decided
Saturday in the Federal Court at
Raleigh involved, at least, one
very important principal. 1t
was the first case of the kind
tried in this State. Mr.. Cheek
was an exodus agent, and, be-
lieving that he was inducing the
laborers on his farm to leave,
Mr.. Mial had him arrested. In
the Superior Court Mr.. Cheek was
acquitted, and then sued Mr..
Mail in the Federal Court for
damages. In this last court the
verdict was in favor of Mr.. Mial.
The latter was counselled
throug hout by Messrs. Battle
and Mordecai and Col. Argo, who
were Jealous in impressing upon
the exodus agents that they must
be careful not to interfere with
the operations and business of
North Carolina farmers.

A JOINT DEBATE.

Arrangements have been made for
five Joint discussions Of the sub-treas-
ury plan between w. II. Cowley and
Moses A. Householder at the follow
ing places:
Columbus, October Goth, at Up. m.
Weir City, October 9th, at Up. m.
Galena, October Goth, at 7 p. IN.
Hallowell, October Both, at Up. M.
Crestline, October 3lst, at 3 p. m.
Each speaker will occupy one hour
and thirty minutes and the rules gov
erniag the Lincoln and Douglass de-
bates of Illinois in 1S5S-60 shall con-
troll the discussions. The proposition
advanced by Mr.. Householder is SUBJ
stantially as follows:
"That the sub-treasury plan, ss ad-
vocated ty the Peoples party north
and south, ia constitutional, aud to the
hest interests OF the people OF the
United States as a nation"
We trust these discussions will he
literally attended by the voters of all
parties, and while we cannot for a
moment believe that the subject under
discussion will figure in the future
politics of this country, our sympathies
are always with the under dog in the
fight and as there is large number OF
our best class of citizens who still hold
to the chimerical and visionary specu-
lations advanced by some of the Peo-
pies party leaders it is the proper
thing to attend these meetings and
give them an unbiased hearing. Mr..
Householder claims to have made Q
careful study of these theories and
should be fully able to, enlighten an
intelligent Kansas audience on the
subject. Mr.. Cowley is an able ex.
ponent of Republication aud will
puncturc the weak points of the "plan'
in an argumentative way that will no
doubt prove a source of delight to the
Republican side of the house and at
the same time please the undefiled,
simon-pure Democracy.

BABY CLEVELAND.

We were awakened before daylight
Sunday morning by ringing of bells,
footing of horns and general atmos-
pheric disturbance which naturally
le.l US to suppose the town was on fire
or another joint had been pulled. 1t
turned out to be the announcement in
the early morning paper that Mrs.
Cleveland was the mother of an eight
pound baby. If Mrs. Cleveland had
had two babies the enthusiasm could
moi have been greater; the whole
north side of town was enthused to an
UNPARALLELED degree and Democrats
and Republicans Joined together in a
ratification of the event that would
have done honor to presidential
election.
We are not sorry that Mrs. Cleve-
land has had a baby and we are really
aud truly glad that baby Mckee has
had it's nose displaced. During the
last presidential election so much space
was taken up in the papers with the
doings of baby Mckee that it was al
most impossible to find room for cur
rent events. We suppose baby Cleve-
land will occupy three or four COL
umns daily for some time to come, but
the News will not innict its readers
with anything of the kind. If baby
Cleveland or baby Mckee are troubled
with the collie, measles, summer COM
plant or worms we shall advise cas-
toria or Carriers liver pills, but will
not use our valuable, space in giving
details Of incidents in the every day
life of those precious kids.

THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

The Democratic rally at Columbus
last Saturday was not very well adj
vertised and the attendance was not
large. Hon. w. G. Perry, who was ad-
verlised to speak, did not show up,
but Major Cheshire Of Columbus and
Graham HOrnor Of Baxter Springs,
carried out the program, and made q
couple of sound, sensible speeches
that is, from Democratic standpoint.
1t isa noticeable fact that political
meetings this year are as a rule poorly
attended and in many instances have
proved an utter failure. We question
ii this is good policy. 1t is an OIL
year, but there Is more at stake thah
most people imagine, and whether II
is q gathering of Republicans, Demo-
Gratis or Peoples party men, If there is
an able representative present to DIS,
cuss political issues all voters should
turn out and with unbiased minds
listen to the arguments.
The future destiny of Kansas may
be decided by the November election.
Although it is an of year our state
election is attracting more attention
from the outside world than that Of
Ohio, New York or any other state.
II is 10 be decided by the election next
month whether the principles evolved
by the Peoples party shall become a
national question or not. II the Peo-
pies party carry this state in Novem-
Der by iucreasing majOrities then
other states will swing into line and
make a strong effort to elect presl-
dent and congress in 1892, but should
their majority be wiped out or maieri-
ally diminished the Pople's party,
Cincinnati platform, sub-treasnry bill
and unlimited currency will be rele-
gated to the unknown regions of for.
ge.fulness, where sleep in political
obscurity the heroes Of the old Green
back, Labor Union and Know
Knothing "reminiscences.
We have no particular interest In
any political party, but we think 1t is
the duty of the voter to hear every
issue discussed and then vote intelli-
gently as his conscience dictates. 1t
Is not an off year for Kansas. Mo-
mentous questions are TO be decided
aud there is much depending on the
result. If it is true, as claimed by the
old party papers, that capital and labor
are being driven from the state by
Peoples party doctrines, then ell who
are interested In the growth OF the
state should defeat that party; but 1t
II is true, as claimed by the other side,
that we need government wareho 1ses,
government control of the railroads
and an unlimited issue of paper
money, then we should cast our vote
with the Peoples party. Every in
telligent voter should make close,
careful and unbiased study of these
questions.

THERMAL PUNISHMENT THE PRICE
OF LIBERTY.

The New York Presbytery and the
Cherokee county board of commits
sioners have both been holding pro.
tracted sessions during the past week
In an earnest discussion of the ques-
ton OF eternal punishment. In New
York the final vote stood yeas "a,
nays 81, and the famous DR.. Charles
A. Briggs will have to stand trial for
heresy. The noted divine, DR.. Charles
L. Thompson, made strong appeal
for the accused and among other
things said: "If we cannot have lib
erty and orthodox both, let US have
liberty" DR.. Briggs trial has been
set for Nov. 4th and the result will be
anxiously awaited by all classes of peo-
pie. The Presbyterians are now at
work OH q revision Of their creed and
as soon as that 10 effected the more
modern or liberal element in the
church will feel at ease.
Our county board stood two to one
against eternal punishment and on
Tuesday night decided to release a
dozen prisoners from the county Jail
who were unable to pay their fines.
Col. McGregor made substantially the
same speech attributed 10 DR.. Thomp-
son, and finally carried the day. As
the law now stands a prisoner must
lay in Jail until his fine is paid 50 that
If he be a poor man his punishment
ends only with death, or just where the
Presbyt erian punishment commences.
Our r, aders probably care nothing for
the punishment of the prisoner, but
the cost to the county ia considerable
aud as our jails are filled up new ones
must be provided so that in time the
cost Of keeping prisoners and their
families would be a heavy burden on
tax payers.
The commissioners have now estab-
lished rule whereby prisoners can
work out their fines on rock pile at
the rate of one dollar day. This re-
lieves the county of a considerable ex-
pense, gives the poor prisoner healthy
exercise and ignores the doctrine OF
eternal punishment, all of which goes
to show that our Bob, aud majority
of the board Of county commissioners
are in theory and practice of more
liberal turn Of mind than the New
York Presbytery.
There are now in our county Jail
about IL or IA prisoners, nearly all OF
whom will be released as soon as their
Jail sentence expires, but in the future
they will be required to pay their fines
or work them out. If we could only
work out our sentence in the other
world what a blessed privilege il
would be for some of us, even on q
rock pile,

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.


The familiar truism :'history repeats
itself is without doubt being exempli-
lied today in the state Of Kansas In a
WAY that must be convincing to all in
telligent citizens, and although three
hundred years have passed and gone
since Don Quixote and Sancho Panza
went forth 10 right the wrongs OF
mankind, we have today in Kansas an
almost perfect reproduction of the
eKnight of the Sorrowful Figure" and
his worthy squire Sancho Panza. we
cannot but admire the pluck aud
motive which induced them to venture
their lives in SO noble cause and we
perhaps feel as Byron did when ne

Has Spain had heroes
Most of our readers are familiar
with the condition OF Spain in the six
,eenth century and many of them
have enjoyed the ludicrous episodes in
the history of the high-minded but
crack-brained Spanish gentleman
whose exquisite follies can only be
compared to the sorrowful eccentrici-
ties of the junior senator from the
state of Kansas. Our modern Don
Ouixote PETER, with his faithful and
devoted squire Sancho Simpson, have
undertaken piece of knight-errantry
which will end in as complete fiasco
rs did most of the adventures OF the
Spanish knigh: and squire. The en-
chanted castles, the enormous giants,
the horrible dragons and the magic
sieeds will all turn out to be innocent
wind mills and harmless every day
sort of people. AS soon as our Kan
sas heroes come 10 their senses they
will return home battered and bruised
and dilapidated with reversed arms
and sad countenances, but it is 10 be
hoped with improved intellect aud
rational minds so that they may de-
vote the balance of their lives, as Don
Ouixote did, in remorseful prayer and
pious deeds seeking forgiveness for
the irreparabIe injury they have done
the state and nation.
The whiskered statesman and the
snrkless orator have not been subdued
by force of arms or force of argument.
