A Journalistic MISUNDERSTANDING

Il. Il. Henry, editor of the Roanoke
Weekly Press, and the alleged author
of tho articles signed Eye Opener"
which attracted such general attention
not long since among the colored
preachers, has resigned his position on
that journal. The owners of the paper
and Henry bave not been able to come
to definite understanding for some
time, and little unpleasantness has
resulted in his resignation. One of the
owners of the paper told TIMES re-
porter yesterday that Henry had cut all
of his editorial out of other papers for
nearly two months. and that he wanted
thirty dollars a week for his salary.

THIRD PARTY TACTICS.

Indications accumulate in Washington
that strong third party movement
will be set afoot in Ohio for tho pur-
pose of defeating Senator Sherman for
reelection. 1t seems 10 be the ayowed
policy of tho Third party leaders to
kill off prominent men in either OF tho
old parties in order that the way may
be paved for bringing their theories into
the active field of political discussion.
In the South Wade Hampton fell be-
fore them. In Georgia General Gordon
adopted their platform. North Carolina
Senator Vance was compelled to &C
knowledge their power or be retired.
In Kansas the scalp of ingalls, swings
at the third party belt In Illinois
Senator Palmer was elected by their
aid, and in numerous other States have
they manifested their power and tena-
city OF purpose.
If they succeed in impnging upon
the Ohio situation with sufficient force
TO break down John Sherman they will
have victory to their credit unsur
passed by any previous achievement
Their success will be almost a neces-
sary accompaniment of the defeat Of
Major Mckinley. If they do succeed
they will have achieved what seems to
be impossible.

All Good America MS.

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 25.-At the
next meeting Of the Catholic hierarchy
of the United States, letter of thanks
will be sent to the pope in the name Of
the bishops of the country, thanking
him for having rejected the petition OF
Herr Cahenslf and his associates. The
hierarchy looked upon the memorial as
an understandable interference with the
business of the Catholic church in the
United States.
To man, the bishops were against
it. The petition was considered an in
suit to the American hierarchy. 1t is
more than likely that in some sections
of the country the laymen would have
been called upon to assemble in mass
meeting and denounce the work OF the
meddlers. The bishops. believe that
there should be no race in the United
States, and some of them are in favor OF
the government taking positive action
in suppressing the teaching of any Ian
guage in any school but the English
language.

Everybody Can Go To Detroit.

KANSAS CITY, July 27.-As presaged
the limit On thee. A. r. tickets from
Western Passenger association points
has been broken.
The action of the Alton in making
the tickets good over that road until
September 80 is the cause OF the break.
The Santa Fe announced to-day that
it would make the limit on the G. A. r.
tickets from all points on its road good
for thirty days obtainable by depositing
the tickets at Detroit.
This action will do away with the ac-
ton of the Western association in max
ing the limit ten days, and all OF the
roads in the association will follow the
Santa Fe in making the thirty-day
limit.
The trouble predicted regarding the
present rates is likely to break out at
any time. Rumors of charges to be
made are floating around and the pros
poets of miniature rate war among
certain of the Western association
roads are considered pretty fair. Nearly
all of the roads have made their con-
tracts to meet any rate that is made
and the chances are that they Will be
called upon to make their promises
good.
The Alton has announced the follow
ing rates for the G.. A. II. encampment:
Kansas City to Chicago and return, $40;
Kansas City to ST. Louis aud return.

FMPoRIA KANSAS, July 28.-Several
personal letters have been sent Govern
or Humphrey during the last few days
demonstrating against his granting the
request OF petition got up by few
lawyers asking that J. N. Marlborough,
now in the penitentiary, and who as
sassinated young Collier in this city,
about four years ago and was sentenced
to hang for so doing, be pardoned:
Yesterday answers were received
from the governor which have had
the effect of stirring up the citizens to
considerable extent, and last evening
petition was being signed by some of
the most influential citizens, which will
be Immediately forwarded, entering a
solemn protest against pardon being
granted.
The murder was extremely cold
blooded, Marlborough going to Golfers
boarding house after dark, calling him
to the door and shooting him dead in
his tracks, without word OF warning,
in the presence of several ladies and
gentlemen. Both were employees of the
Santa Fe railroad, Collier being
the superior. The latter was
called to Kansas City, and left
Marlborough IN charge OF the office.
Marlborough got drunk, which he had
frequently done, and neglected his bus
mess. While he was in this condition,
the division superintendent visited the
office in Golfers absence. When Col
Iier returned and found the office in
disorder, he upbraided Marlborough,
who took off his coat and attempted to
whip him. Collier knocked him down
several times. This was in the after
noon. Marlborough proceeded to fill up
on more whisky until he worked him
self up to murder point, and then pro-
ceeded to do the deed for which par
don is now asked.
Yarbrough, it is claimed, comes from
o good family in North Carolina, who
have sent mammoth petition from
that state asking for his pardon. They
have also employed Major Mccarthy, a
lawyer of this city, with couple OF
other lawyers, to get up petition here
asking for a pardon. This petition
many citizens here refused to sign and
are now preparing a counter petition
Collier was the son OF Rev. Robert
Laird Collier of Kansas City, now dead.
A delegation of Emporia citizens will
probably accompany the protest to 10
