Hon. Jerry Simpsons Views.

CONGRESSMAN jeremiah Simpson,
the new Congressman from Kansas,
attended convention of Maryland
farmers at Annapolis last week and
made an address. In his speech he
said that he was nominated by con-
yention composed entirely of farmers,
and not a lawyer was in it, and when
we get political convention without
a lawyer we think we are getting
near the millennium. The lawyers
have taken possession Of everything
and the farmers propose to do things
for themselves. We farmers find our
selves with fine lands at the end OF
wears poorer and poorer and we want
ed to better ourselves and we have
undertaken to elect men to carry out
our views on money and transporta-
ton. And although our Alliance
VOWS did not attack our politics and
our religion we found we had TO go
into politics to get better laws. Well,
they said politics would break you up
lust as it did with the Grange. Now
| never knew that the Grange med
died much with politics and L do not
see that it is breaking up either.
Everybody now wants an office. it
is starvation or Office; everybody
flocks to the city; but under change
of condition things will be different.
We must have new men to meet the
new conditions of things. We have
new laws to meet new conditions.
We have been creating the wealth
and neglecting the distribution OF 1t.
This is the work for the statesmen of
the future. This struggle OF the peo-
pie has been going on for ages. First
the army, then they took the church,
now they use the law to perpetuate a
wrong. We got rid Of four million
black slaves to enslave whole race
of people, North and South. The
tariff laws are one of the elements OF
slavery. am encouraged by this one
article, wool, and discouraged on a
number of others, and protection
gives no benefit Protection Is as
great a fraud as was African slavery.
He favored an income tax under Ger
tain conditions that would keep for
tunes down to 100000, but thought a
single tax would accomplish the same
object.

Left With a Bible in His Hand.

At Atlanta, Ga, Sunday afternoon,
fourteen members of the Young Men g
Christian Association visited the jail
of Fulton county and held services,
consisting OF prayer, praise and al
monitory exhortations for the beneht
of the prisoners. When the services
were over the young men informed
the taller and were let out, one-half
Of the party coming out few minutes
in advance Of the other. Among the
first party, shaved up and wearing
natty snuff-brown overcoat ana
pair OF kid gloves, was Herschel Paris
a prisoner awaiting trial for mail rob
berry. In one hand he carried 81
bic. and the other he held out to the
jailer, bidding him an atfectionate
adieu, and expressing the hope that
he might continue to grow in grace
and prosperity. The jailer looked at
the .well-dressed party in a casual
way. possessing no interest in them
whatever, except to treat them court
eously as instructed, and out OF re-
spect to their benevolent mission.
Then the balance of the young men
passed out and the outer door was
lock ed, and things resumed theli us
ual quiet Sunday appearance in the
prison. But in fifteen minutes there
was a hue and cry in the prison upon
the discovery that Herschel Paris had
escaped. At last accounts he was
still at large, with but little hope OF
his early recapture.

The Legislature.

The West Virginia Legislature adj
journed last Sunday morning at a
quarter past one o'clock, after SEES
sion OF sixty days. The last hours of
the Senate were enlivenpd by per
sonal encounter between senator
Knott, OF this county. and Sergeant
at Arms Tracy, of Wheeling, which
resulted in Tracy's getting n blow in
the face. Afterwards, he offered his
resignation, which was Immediately
accepted, and Adjutant General Ok
lev appointed in his stead. The
trouble grew ont Of Il call of the Sen
ate, and Tracy started down the cor
ridor TO arrest absentees. He met
Senator Stewart and Senator Knott
near the door of the Senate, and,
clutching Knott by the arm, without
announcing his object, commenced
dragging him aloug the corridor.
Knott threw his arm around pillar,
but Tracy persisted, and tore the
senator's coat Knott then struck
him in the face. Knott was never
theless taken before the Senate and
fined ten dollars, but as soon as the
situation was understood the fine was
RENTED. Tracy then offered his res
ignation, and il was accepted.
The House agreed TO the Senate
bill making an appropriation Of $40
600 for the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
although an effort was made 10 cut
down the amount still further.
The redistricting bill, which was
passed Ly the Legislature and signed
by the Governor, does not change
the congressional districts or the
judicial circuits. The delegate and
senatorial districts only are changed
The school book controversy was
settled by adopting the report OF
conference committee, which pro
vides for a five years renewal OF the
present contract with the American
Book Company, with the addition OF
Hyde'e Language Lessons, Macy S
Civil Government, Mathews Book
keeping and Ellsworths System OF
Penmanship. -,
The general appropriation bill
passed by the Legislature is said to
be one-half larger than any ever
passed before.
Lieut.. r. NJ. &. Brown, of the Uni,
ted States Navy, whose bravery and
skill largely contributed to the saw
ing of the lives of 400 people during
the Samoan storm, two years ago,
and who had been the guest Of the
West Virginia Legislature for two
DAYS, was last Saturday presented
with a very handsome gold-handled
sword by both houses of the Legisla-
ture in the hall of the House of Dele
gates. The presentation speech was
made by Governor Fleming and re-
sponded to by Lieutenant Brown.
The Lieutenant said it was the proud
est moment Of his life, and that when
he accepted the sword from the State
he did so with the promise that 1T

The Hatfields as Thief CatOhers.

Last Friday the men working on
what is called the Hatfield Tunnel,
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad,
in this State, were paid off, and all
got drunk except five negroes, who
had arranged among themselves to
rob the men. They succeeded in do
ing this and getting away before the
party sobered up. The negroes got
over 500. When the men sobered up
they reported the affair to old Capt.
Hatfield, the leader of the notorious
Hatfield gang Hatfield, who runs
the boarding house and gin mills,
listened to their story, gave the
cleaned.out gang a drink all around,
and then got down his big alarm horn
and blew blast. In fifteen minutes
six Hatfields, armed to the teeth, APP
peared. Old Anse and his gang
mounted horses and were soon on the
robbers, whom they overlook seven
or eight miles away, The Hatfields
covered the darkies with their Win
chesters and made them give up the
S400 and then cleaned out the peck
cts of the darkies, getting about SlOO,
which the Hatfields appropriated to
pay expenses. The party then re-
turned to the tunnel, where they re
funded the money to the men who
had been.robbed In the morning a
board was found tackled up at each
end of the tunnel bearing this:
ANY niggers found on these prem
Uses after 10 o'clock to-day will be at
tended to.
