man without record. Last fall Mr.. Comp.
ton was elected by 1880 Purity and now
he wants to give Mr.. Reed taste of his
own medicine.

seat" Mr.. Compton said to a reporter, ''but
am in favor of sending committee into
his district to investigate the frauds that
were perpetrated there. 1t can be shown
that there was greater corruption in the
First Maine district than in the southern
districts, about which so much fuss is
made. 1t ought to be made public to the
whole country.

The Thunderer's Common Sense Comments.

LONDON. March 1S.-The Times in an
an editorial on the New Orleans tragedy
says; sit is all very well to reproDate a
resort to violence, but under such circum-
stances as these what way is there for
emancipating a community from intole1able
tyranny excepting resort to violence 7
The law requires trial by jury and trial
by jury had been reduced to farce by the
knowledge possessed by every iuryman
that If he eonvicts a member of the Malta
his life is not worth a weeks purchase. IT,
is really a misuse of language to speak of a
resort to violence The standing rule in
New Orleans is the rule of violence and all
Parkerson and his followers have done is
to accept the conditions prescribed by the
Malta.
sIt all rests ultimately upon force and
when the courts are dominated Dy crimi-
mails, whom they exist to punish nothing
remains but to 90 back to first principles TO
effect their deliverance. Let IaWless VIC
lence be abandoned by all means, but que
messieurs les assassins commencent.'
Among the men who were lynched there
may have been some who, did not actually
fire at Hennessey, but it is not pretended
there were any who were not members of
the detestable society that decreed his
death. That being the case, it Is iEipossi-
BILE TO feel any acute distress because in the
midst of the violence they had rendered
indispensable they have been somewhat
more severely punished than if they had
been leniently dealt with"

German Restrictions on American Bee
Removed

BERLIN, March is.-Owing to the efforts
of Mr.. Phelps, United States minister here.
Chancellor Won Caprivi has removed the
embargo placed on American cattle landed
at Hamburg, and it is likely Phelps will be
able to obtain a removal of the restrictions
placed upon the importation of American
hogs. Already 300 American beeves have
been landed at Hamburg as an experiment.
Phelps, at series of dinners, which be
has given at his residence here, has given
his guests American beef, and has thus in
troduced its use in the families of many
distinguished members of fashionable fami-
lies in Berlin. In turn the Hamburg local
officials are making costly permanent i'm
provements in landing facilities now at the
disposal of importers of American cattle.
The object of the Hamburg officials in
making the improvements referred to is to
encourage and develop trade in American
cattle. Chancellor Caprlvi is now consid-
ering the point made by Minister Phelps,
who asks that American hogs be allowed to
.And in the same manner and under the
Same inspection as American cattle.
