ANOTHER POLITICAL MURDER

ANOTHER POLITICAL MURDER.
When the first accounts came to hand
of the killing of young Matthews, Post
master at Carrollton, Miss, they were so
evidently "doctored" that it was impos.
sible not to suspect that the murder was
really a political one. The facts have
now transpired, and it is clearly evident
that although there was an attempt to
give the affair the color of personal
alteration and to fasten the stigma of
aggression upon Matthews, the whole
affair was a cold -blooded, premeditated
murder for political purposes.
John Matthews was the first Repub-
lican postmaster Carrollton has had for
years, and the white Democrats regarded
the post Office as their perquisite and had
threatened time and again to kill any
Republican who should take the Office.
After John was appointed he received
numerous letters threatening: his life.
The day before his murder he had been
notified from several sources that mob
was going to kill him that day. He got
rife to protect himself and was arrested
by the Sheriff and put under bonds to
keep the peace. He pointed out to the
Sheriff three men with guns in their
hands and asked the Sheriff to put them
under bonds, too. This the Sheriff re-
fused to do. Then Matthews went to
the post Office and stayed there till dinner
time. When he went to dinner Mcbride
shot him on the steps of the hotel and
fired five shots into his body after he
was dead, and the rest of the mob held
a war dance around his PROSTATE form.
OF course any Republican who men
tions these facts will be accused OF
"waving the bloody shirt" In the
Democratic creed it is an objectionable
offense to talk about the political
murders in Mississippi, but it is all right
to commit the murders.
An officer of the United States has
been murdered, and it is the duty OF
the department to which be belonged
and of the National Congress, to inquire
into the facts and take proper steps tc
secure the punishment of the murderer

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

Cincinnati Post.
General Miles treats the Indian ques
ton in the North american ReUieto fol
January, and in answer to the question,
"Who is responsible" for the existing
condition of affairs and warlike tenden-
cies among the tribes, says: "Both the
whites and the Indians.
.'First-Those white men who have
compelled the Indians to live upon linn
tied tracts of land and allowed them to
get into the condition in which we now
find them, dissatisfied and equipped for
war.
"Second-Another class of whites, who
have committed the great crime of in
stilling into the minds of those super
stitious and vicious savages the delu
sion that they have Messiah among
them, and that the white people who dc
not believe it will be destroyed by some
supernatural power.
"Third-The white men who have
sold thousands Of improved magazine
long-range rifles and tons of ammuni-
ton to the Indians.
"Fourth-Those who are to blame fol
this threatened danger are the Indians
themselves"
This blame he refers to the inherent
nature of the Indian. But there appear
to be so many classes of white men re-
sponsible before the responsibility of the
Indian is reached, that poor Lo may very
well be left out of account until the
white men are reformed.

Conductor Bradley always may his name
Be said with reverence), as the swift doom came
Smitten to death, crushed and mangled frame,
Sank with the brake he grasped. just where h
stood
To do the utmost a brave man could,
And die, II need be, as = true man should.
Men stopped over him; women dropped their tear
On the poor wreck beyond all hopes and fears
Lost In the strength and glory OF his years.
What heard theyi Lo. the CHASTITY lips of pain,
Dead to all thought save duty's, move again,
Put out the signal for the other train''
No nobler utterance since the world began
From lips Of saint or martyr ever ran
Electric through the sympathies Of man.
All mel how poor and noteless seem to this,
The sickbed dramas of self consciousness,
Our sensual fears of pain and hopes of bliss.
Oh, grand, supreme endeavor! not in vain
That brave act of failing tongue and brain!
Freighted with life the downward rushing train
the wrecked one, as wave follows wave.
Obeyed the warning which the dead lips gave;
Others he saved, himself he could not save
Nayi the lost life was saved. He is not dead
Who, in his record, still the earth shall tread
With Gods clear aureole shining round his head.
We bow In the dust with all our pride
)f virtue dwarfed the noble deed beside
iod, give us grace to live as Bradley died.

THE PERPETUAL BORROWER.

THE PERPETUAL BORROWER.
New York Ledger.
OF course you have discovered this
pest. He is more prevalent than the
man who smokes in car, and quite as
annoying. He borrows your penknife,
your razors, your buttonhooks, your
writing utensils, your umbrella, and
would borrow your toothpick and your
toothbrush if the usages of society ad-
mitted of their double occupancy.
What you lend him goes, as rule, to
that bourne from which no traveller re-
turns.
Not that he is dishonest, but he con-
siders himself a sort of pensioner on the
world at large for minor conveniences,
and has no idea that their restoration is
expected. AS he is usually good ma
tured fellow, who would give you any
thing he had if he had anything to give,
you don't like to snub him, and so he
passes through life in his shittless, care
less way, unconscious of his dement's, a
tolerated nuisance.
Willingly would you raisesa subscrip-
ton, heading the list of donors yourself,
to furnish him with all he borrows. But
it would be useless. There is no tenacity
in his slipshod nature. Whatever you
might give him would slip through his
fingers. Besides, your professional bor-
rover of small chattels prefers loan to
gift. So far as your personal comfort
is concerned, it is best to meet his appli-
cation for loans with an emphatic mo"
He is not pertinacious. A few rebuffs
will suffice. He knows well enough that
if you won't supply the article he wants
somebody else will-that if you are
"mean" there are others who are "gen-
erous."

THE ONE WAY TO GET MONEY.

L
National Stockman.
If there is any one topic upon which
nearly every man you meet considers
that his opinion is as good as or better
than the opinion of any other man it il
the subject of the volume of our nation
al currency. There is no problem now
before the public concerning which there
is such diversity of opinion, and upon
which legislators will find it more diff
cult to reach basis satisfactory to all.
But there is one thing in this connect
ion which may be said: Whether the
volume of currency be contracted, or
greatly expanded : let it be what it
will-large share of the cash in the
country will get into the hands of the
people who have the most and the best
articles for sale. The farmer who pro-
duces all he can and the best he can is
going to get good deal more of such
currency as may be in circulation than
will the man who folds his hands, and
waits, and grumbles, because he thinks
that the amount of money available is
less than is needed to transact the busi-
ness of the country. 1t may be and
probably is less than is needed, but the
thing for every one to do under present
circumstances, or even if the volume of
the currency should be very much en-
larged, is to be on hand with the prod
ucts which will transfer as much as pos
sible of this money into his own possess
ion. AS to how to keep the money when
once obtained, legislation may vastly i'm
prove the chances of so doing, by reduc-
ing taxation, by the control of trusts,
and by regulating many things which
are drawing heavily upon the resources
of the farmer; but the point aimed at in
this paragraph is that there is just one
way for the farmer to get his share Of
this money in the first place, and that is
to produce the best he can and get the
most he can in exchange for it.
