The Color Line Planted In q Far Country

Seattle, Wash, May l7.-At o'clock
this morning 400 negro miners with
their families arrived at Stonesiding,
a small station on the Northern Pacific
fifty miles from here. The negroes
will be marched Immediately to the
coal mines Of the Oregon Improvement
company at Franklin
They were recruited in Hannibal II
is said, by Superintendent L. B. Carey
of the Oregon Improvement company's
mines, aud brought here to take the
places OF white miners with whom the
company has been having trouble.
About six weeks ago Superintendent
Carey attempted to force the miners
to sign contract displeasing to them
and the strike was the result. The
company then withdrew the contract
and Carey resigned ostensibly TO take
a position with the railway. Another
superintendent was appointed and the
men returned to work at the old terms
When it became known among the
miners that negroes were on the way
TO the mines, every camp was notified
and all the miners went out on strike
at Franklin. There was intense ex
citement and it is thought trouble
may result.
Manager c. j. Smith of the Oregon
Improvement company said "Tht
company has determined to get rid o.
the necessity Of bowing to every
caprice Of labor unions. Negroes vii
be put in the mines and be protected
if It takes more guards than miners
A force of Pinkerton's will accompany
the negroes from the railroad to th'
mines"

was thought that he had been killed
and buried among the unknown dead
Il. I. Kyle, McNary's cousin, who now
lives in Rix Mills, Musklngum county.
o., wrote a letter to Gen. Gordon Of
Georgia, who was in the battle of the
Wilderness on the rebel side, describ.
ing Frank McNary, giving a descrip-
tion of his army life and asking wheth.

he was buried, and he thinks he could
return to the exact spot to-day.
Mr.. Baldwin has returned the book

PULPIT PROFANITY PROFICIENCY.
Especial to Age-Herald.l |


Atlanta, May 15.-Sam Small is out
in another pyrotechnic TRADE against
the Rev. j. Wesley Hill, his brother
minister, who is the man responsible
for The charges of crookedness made
recently against Small.
The letter is an endeavor to "show
up Hill aud the trustees of the Ogden
University, at whose hands Sam
claims to have been very badly treated.
In itself the letter is remarkable, prin-
cipally for the intensity and unique
ness of the language used. Small uses,
for instance, the following unique
epithcts towards Hill.
"That Infamous liar, hypocrite and
lewd sham of preacher" "The
same thief and swindler." "Who
lifted collections for bis church, which
he pocketed and squandered.' "Who
sponged upon the hospitality of new
made acquaintance, and then turned
their houses and hospitality to ridicule
and jeering." "Who foisted let of
real estate upon benevolent Metho-
dists at fabulous prices, and with a
series of lies that would appal a bunco
man, "Who did this in the name of
the church himself and a gang of
Ogden sharpers." Who lives double
life, preaching holiness in the pulpit
and indulging in his lecherous lusts in
private" "Who has set going all the
flood of newspaper SANDER upon me
because | would not help him smindle
a brother minister In Philadelphia,
Rev. Merritt Hubbard, or join him in
scheme to use the university and
church for the purpose of getting big
money for ourselves" "The most in
famous aud versatile rascal outside of
any penitentiary." ,"False in word and
oath to bis wife and his God" "A
hypocrite in every private relation and
public function"
OF the university Small says;
"The whole scheme | have found is
rotten, disrespectable and fraudulent"
"An alleged university" "The scheme
of duplicity, chicanery and swindling
land speculation"
Hill has manipulated and bossed
thom from the beginning, duping
them into accepting deeds to mortgag-
cd property from bankrupt, wildcat
land sharp, misleading bishops and
committeeman, upon bogus subscrip-
ton lists, to locate the university on
said property, thus robblng Salt Lake
City of the institution in the interest
of his Ogden co-operators.'

Meridian, Miss, May 17.-An explo-
sion In Prickel Il Hands saloon this
morning after O'Clock attracted the
attention of Officers Walker and Nc
Carroll.
Looking through window they
saw three men working on the safe.
An exclamation of McCarrolps attract
ed the attention of the burglars. They
made break for the side door, but
Officer Walker intercepted them and
fired, shooting one man through the
first two fingers, breaking the pistol
guard. A shot from another burglar
powder burned Walkers face, who re-
turned the fire, hitting the wounded
burglar in the forehead, producing q
scalp wound.
A general firing was then begun by
the police, and the burglars, who had
succeeded in getting on the outside,
broke in different directions. The
wounded burglar fell, after going a
block and half. The other one ran
into the unfinished Southern Hotel
building, and this was surrounded till
daylight, when the concealed burglar
coolly came out smoking and offered
to assist in capturing the man wanted.
lie was arrested.
The wounded man gives his name
as j. G. Carey and the other as j.
Denis.
Nearly 5000 and kit of fine bur-
glar tools we're captured. A book
captured shows that both are posted
as to certain streets and houses in
Birmingham, Chicago, st. Louis and
other cities. 1t is thought they were
connected with the recent robbery in
Birmingham.
Three sets of tools were found and
it is thought another man was with

shabby Treatment Of wales.


London, May l7.-Many statements
have appeared in regard to the debts
Of the Prince Of Wales, and Mr.. Ed
mund Yates limited AZ half the truth
one week and denied it in the next.
The facts, however, are very simple,
and are all explained in the fact that
the prince lives far beyond his income.
The prince had borrowed f160000
from that late Anglo-India nabob,
Mackenzie, and in order to discharge
the debt he put a mortgage of $780,
900 on the Sandringham estate, made
out to Messrs. Murrietta. Then fol-
lowed the Argentine collapse and the
Murriettas were hit very hard and suf-
fered great losses. There was nothing
for them to do but realize ON their
available assets. Baron Hirsch, who
may be regarded as the princes latest
friend, might and would probably
very gladly have come to the rescue,
but the prince hesitated about allow
ing him to do so, because he realizes
how exceedingly unpopular the idea is
in English society and at both the
English and German courts that he
should be on such close terms with the
Hebrew financier.
Then the approaching visit of the
kaiser to England was another reason
why Baron Hirsch could not be called
upon, for the presence of the kaiser
would make it impossible for the
prince to push his protegee on English
society at present, and the prince fully
realized that this woald be the price OF
of such loan, because the baron is
reputed to figure closely in such mat
ters, and outside of his magnificent
charitable bequests he exacts full re-
turn for any money he may put out.
This return, the prince clearly under.
stood, was TO be made on social lines,
All hope, therefore, of relief from the
baron being at an end, the prince, in
his dilemma, sought the Marquis OF
Salisbury and suggested an appeal to
the Queen in the matter.
This must be regarded as cour.
ageous act, for owing to the princes
name being so unpleasantly associated
with tho recent baccarat scandal heI
majesty has not been fayorsbly dis
posed toward her eldest sou. The
premier, however, addressed the Queen
on the subject, and after great deal ol
persuasion induced her majesty to take
up the Sandringham mortgage, but
only on condition that the sum SO ad
vanced should be deducted from the
amount left by the Queen in her will
to the Prince of Wales.
The prince, by the very situation o.
affairs, was compelled to accept this
offer, but it has evidently irrltated hin
exceedingly, for it is known that he
does not consider the treatment either
liberal or generous, and he has caused
it to be conveyed to the Queen, hi'
mother, that he shall withdraw more
into private life in the future unless
she agrees 10 make him an adequate
allowance upon which to maintain tht
semi-royal state necessary for th'
proper discharge of his duties, which
should properly fall upon the Queen
but which he has discharged for man.
years purely as a relief to her.

GET POSSESSION BEFORE ADJUSTING
TNatehez Democrat d


Mr.. Henry Watterson, who is now
lecturing in Texas, in a recent inter-
view is reported to have said among
other things:
"For Gods sake, let Us let it alone,
and try and elect our ticket in 1892.
If we do not carry the country then,
you may look for the Force Bill aud
everything else that bodies evil. Elect
a Democratic President and Congress,
and sectionalism is dead forever in
this country, and that is what we want,
to kill out sectiOnslism. Once in pos
session of this Government and we
will deal with silver and all other
questions so honestly, so broadly, so
patrlotically, that we shall challenge
the judgment Of the masses, and, in
the providence of God, we shall rule
this country wisely and well.n
There is profound wisdom in the
above utterance that should commend
itself to every Democrat in the land, a
warning that cannot safely be neglect
ed, one that should alarm the wander
ers into the delusory paths of the Sub
Treasury in Mississippi; an appeal
which should arouse the old Demo-
cratic spirit in every quarter; a prom
lse of success and pointing to the
way for success which should be en-
couraging.
If lfDemocracy fail in getting posses
sion of the Government in 1872, with
the chances for success now held, we
may look forward to innumerable
evils and expressions, which neither
third party schemes, Sub-Treasury re-
liefs nor appeals to the constitution
can overthrow.
lie is no Democrat and unworthy
to bear the name who will desert the
ranks upon any pretext at any time,
but more especially now, when the
victory can be won if every man will
stand by the colors under which he
has enlisted and marched SO long.
The farmers OF Mississippi, like the
farmers all over the Union, have suf-
fered under Republican domination
and misrule, just as all other classes in
the community, except the manufac-
turing monopollsts and great moneyed
trusts, so that it is to the interest Of
all to unite as Democrats and destroy
the monster, and after this, as Mr..
Watterson says, we will deal with all
questions honestly, broadly and patri-
otically.

ANTICIPATING THE SUB.TREAsURY.

In an Interview recently Mr.. Nc
Grath, the President of the Kansas
Alliance, stated that the plans for re-
organization agreed upon at the meet
ing Of the Alliance Presidents in WASH
ington, ole month ago, made it an
easy matter for the Alliance to control
the grain output. The reorganization
provided for placing the State organ
lzatlon in control of State committee,
to which committees that have charge
of the Congressional Districts must
report. The Congressional commit
tees have charge of the county CON-
mltlees, to whom the Sub-Alliances
are accountable.
"By this plan,' said President Nc
Grath, "we will know every bushel of
marketable grain there is to be had in
the four States. Ihave communicated
with the Alliance men of the other
States, and the scheme will be a 90.
The Alliance has to wait too long for
returns from legislation. Politics is all
well enough in its way, but practical
business methods assure safer aud
quicker returns.r
The four States interested will prac-
tically control the wheat and cattle
market of the United States. The
commission each day will wire farmers
to send in certain amount of wheat
or cattle, as the case may be, calling on
the ones who are the hardest pressed
for cash.
In the quoted interview the Alliance
leader has dellneated a remarkable
identity between the motives of the
order and the grain speculators-the
cornering of the market and squeezing
the consumers. This is all very well il
our corn-burning brethren can carry
tout what MIR. McGrath makes SO simple
on paper. But las It ever occurred to
the farmers of Mississippi that the Sub
Treasury measure, in any of its forms,
would commit the Government TO the
support and furtherance of this CON-
prehensive manipulation of which they
would be the subjects paying tribute
OF course such system of Govern
mental Agriculture would be equally
available for all-for the cotton, sugar,
rice and tobacco grower as well as the
feed producer-the public Treasury
would enable all to be bulls of their
own, and bears of their neighbors'
truck. Could the fertility of the
theorlst, the ingenuity of the dema-
gogue, have brought forth a more
attractive, an smptier, delusion? The
device would, however, be modi-
fed in effect as to the cotton
growers, whose customers are the
powerful and wealthy of the world
who could stand out of the market,
and starve their operatives, longer than
even the Government could hold their
product.

The Sub.T's or Webster County.

In the Walthall Warden of March
Is, 1891, are the following concerning
the President of the County Alliance /:
"Mr. Hubbard has twice usod his
vote and influence to defeat the editor
of this paper when regularly nomi-
mated by the Democratic party of
Webster county. First for Represents
tive In 1891 and second for the Consti-
tutional Convention In $780,"
AS to F. }. Swindoll, the Secre-
tary of the Alliance, the Mississip-
plan is advised that he was elected to
the office hc now holds OH the in
dependent ticket, and has never besa
regarded as Democrat.
Therefore, Messrs. Hubbard and
Swindoll cannot do either George,
Walthall or Stone any harm or Maj.
Barksdale any good. They cannot
participate in the Democratic primary
to nominate Representative and il
they beat said nominee at the polls, as
they seem to have been able to do in
the race for delegate to the Constitu-
tional Convention, their selection will
not be admitted into the Democratic
Senatorial caucus.-Misslssippian.
This is the pair of statesmen that so
rudely resented Governor Stones re-
ply TO their letter-because he did not
see tho Sub-Treasury question to
suit their views. In their temper over
the Governors simple and moderate
response to their request that he state
his position, they assert that despite
George, Walthall and Stone, Webster
county was for Barksdale and the
Sub-Treasury. The Mississlppian's
reminder is timely.
