THE latest race outrage occurred in
Plaintield, New Jersey, and was COM
mitted by the republican mayor of that
city. The colored voters of the place, to
the number of $50, petitioned the mayor
to appoint one colored man on the regu-
lar police force, and another colored
man to be special policeman. The re-
publican mayor not only injured the
oolored race by refusing to make the APP
continents, but he insulted them by
appointing the two men named to be
dog catchers. The colored voters of
Plainfeld have informed the mayor that

THE length to which lawyer may go
to serve his client is illustrated in a
murder trial now in progress in St
Louis. The defendant in the case is
charged with numbering his wife, and
the point as to whether the murder was
deliberate or accidental rests almost en-
tirely on the condition of the murdercr's
overcoat, from the pocket of which were
fired the fatal shots. The sheriff had
this coat in his possession as a piece of
court property to be used during the
murder trial. The prisoners attorney
burst in tho door of the property room,
stole the overcoat, and then confessed
the theft in court, saying no power on
earth could make him give it up. And,
strangely enough, the court decides that

IT is announced that Secretary Tracy
is about to enter into a contract with
Carnegie, Phipps & Co, for 5000 tons of
armor plates, involving somewhere be-
tween three and four million of dollars.
When Secretary Whitney had occasion
four years ago to buy armor plates he
invited proposals, received bids from
several concers and awarded the armor
contract to the Bethlehem iron works
because it was the lowest bidder. Why
does Secretary Tracy give a contract for
more than 100000 to Carnegie,
Phipps & Co, without competition? 1t
is said that the prices will be "about the
same" as those in the Bethlehem con,
years ago. How does Mr. Tracy know
that he could not get better terms now
If the purchase of few hundred dollars
worth of stationery has to be advertised
and the contract given to the lowest
bidder, why should several million dol.
lars worth of armor be bought at pri.
vate sale? Andrew Carnegie is a con.
spicuous republican, and is reported to
be liberal contributor to the party's
campaign fund. We should like to
know whether this immense contract is
to be given to his firm without compe.
tition and at prices four years old with
any reference to the financial needs OF
the republican party next year?

CRUSHED UNDER THE CARS.

This entire community was pain fully shocked on Sunday afternoon, on learning of the horrible accident that befell Master Patrick Copeland, the 16 year old son of Hon. J. r, Copeland. A little after p. m. that day, he attempted to jump on nov Ing freight train that was passing his fathers residence, about one half mile north of town, and missing his footing, was thrown under the cars and badly mangled--left leg was bro- ken in several places, and right, bruised and mashed. But for the intervention of his little brother, Hicks, who pulled hIm out from un- der the moving cars, he would have been ground into an irrecognzable mass of putrid flesh. Cars were moving slowly, which enabled Hicks to get hold of and rescue him, be- fore second set of wheels struck him. Physicians amputated the left leg up near the hip, and on Tuesday per formed a second operation, cutting away the badly iacerated flesh on right leg. Patrick has shown great nerve and fortitude, never complain ing, and conscious most of the time. At first his life was despaired of, but since second operation was perform ed he has rallied, and, today (Wed' nesday) there is some hope of his ultimate recovery. He had just got, ten up from four weeks spell oi slow fever, and vitality therefore be, ing low, this has mitigated against him. His father was absent, preach. ing in the country, but got home in about an hour after the accident oc. cured. The poor mother has beer almost killed by the shock, and i: yet in q critical condition, Every body have rendered all possible as sistance to the stricken family. W' can only hope that the young mar may yet recover.

J. o. A. Bush, the Jeffersonian Democrat CD, Republican, Green packer, Union Laborite, and (mouth) Farmers Alliance man from Nevada county, was advertised for an ad- dress here on the ''economic ques- tions of the day" on the goth inst. , but, as three men, two women and one boy only materialized, he bot tied up his eloquence and sought a more congenial atmosphere. Our people are too busy just now giving a practical demonstration of their knowledge of the Economic ques- tions of the day" by working and at tending to their every day affairs to pay any attention whatever to this blatant and effervescent biennial of- fce-sccker. He seemed very much surprised that he did not have an au- dience of unusual proportions, but why he should have been is an un- fathomable mystery, the record of this political chameleon is very fa- miliar to the people of old Clark. Bush has held an office in Pike county almost ever since he attained his majority, but at the last election, be it said to the credit and honor of the voters of that county, they placed him in q position somewhat analogous to that of John James In gals "a statesman CD out of a job. "-Arkadelphia Correspondence Arkansas Gazette.
 Mir. Bush doubtless wanted MT. McRae to go with him so as to draw him an audience, and the people learning that MT. NJ. would not be present remained at home. We learn that MT.

UNFAIR BUSH.
Arkadelphia Herald.

-f Philadelphia Herald.
 ]. o. A. Bush. editor of the Peo- ple's Tribune, of Prescott, and q pronounced third party agitatoF has made and advertised a list of ap- pointments in this county beginning on the goth inst. at which he propos- es 10 discuss the political issues of the day. He makes pretense of in- viting the Hon. T. C. McRae to meet and reply to him. Judging from what the reader will find below, we may readily infer that Bush knew, or supposed, that Mir. McRae's ap- pointments were such that he could not meet him on the dates named. Chairman k. T. Cook, wrote NIT. Bush for the purpose ot arranging with him to have some Democrat meet and join him in the proposed discussion and our readers are invited to read and mark the unfair ness of Bush's reply. He claims the appointments as his, and denies 10 any opponent fair division of tlme' alternating the opening and closing of the several joint discussions. He says he is willing to meet any "decent' Democrat; but proposes to have the rcjoinder in each case. It is surprising that Bush has the impudence to even pretend to know the meaning of decency in politics. when all who know him know that his whole makeup is entirely foreign to anything like it. His letter to Mir. Cook shows that he means to make assertions that his opponent could prove untrue, if he had an op- portunity of making reply. We feel satisfied that the people Will make note of his methods and take his wild assertions with not only grain but a whole sack of salt. Read the cores pondence below:
