A POLISH MOB.
They Wreck Vengeance on the Head of a
Cloak Manufacturer

They Wreck Vengeance on the Head of a
Cloak Manufacturer.
NEW York, March 9'-Twenty-five or
thirty Polish Hebrews crossed East river
from this city early this morning and
took the electric cars at East New York
for Jamaica, Long Island. Their mission
was to wreak vengeance upon Herman
~Greenbaum, the proprietor of a cloak
mandatory, who, they had learned, was
employing work people and
paying less than the union wages. His
place was not open when they reached ia
maica, but they smashed in the doors and
proceeded to destroy the stock. The pro-
prietor and his wife were kicked and
beaten, and n party took a bottle of
vitriol from his pocket and threw some
of it OF the manufacturers four-year-old
son, burning him in a terrible manner.
The vitriol was also scattered over a
quantity OF cloth in the place. Frank
RinggOld, the man who is said to have
thrown the v~itriol, was captured in East
New York and turned over to the po-
lice of Jamica. When 1t became known
in Jamaica that he was in tn town lock-
up, a mob gathered around and demanded
Ringgold. They wanted to take him out
and lynch him, but cooler counsels pre-
vailed, and finally the mob dispersed,
leaving the Jail unmOlested. DIR. Wood
says the child, VIM. Greenbaum, may not
his injuries. Greenbaum and
wife are both in the doctors hands.

Action of the Land Commissioners on "A
Tract ut Great Falls.

Action of the Land Commissioner on a
Tract ut Great Falls.
The Helena land office has received a
decision from the commissioner Of the
general land Office at Washington in re-
gard to a valuable tract of 100 acres at
Great Falls. The land was taken up
about six or eve years ago by Arichi-
bald Campbell under the desert land act.
He made final proof and payment. Jas.
Graham, at Fort Benton, contested Camp
bells right on the ground that the latter
has not fulfilled the provisions of the
homestead law by living on the land the
required time. The case was fought at
every stage and the commissioner
of the general land Office finally
rendered a decision in favor of Campbell
and u patent was issued accordingly.
Meantime Campbell had died and the
land passed through several hands, finally
getting into the possession Of the Town
site company of Great Falls. Graham
secured a rehearing before the commits
sioner, and the decision received reverses
the one formerly rendered, and decides
that Campbell had not carried out the
provisions of the homestead law, and Or
ders that the patent issued to him be can
celled. Graham, as the successful con
~testant, now has the first right of entry.
The townsite company will contest the
matter and take an appeal to the secre-
tary Of the interior at Washington. The
land in dispute is very valuable, the price
being placed anywhere from $4,000 up
ward. 1t is contiguous to the original
townslte and adjoins one of the best ad-
ditions to the city. The fight over it has
not been confined to the land office, but
has gotten into the courts In a criminal
case. Witnesses who testified on the
question of Campbell's residence have
been arrested on the charge of perjury.
and altogether, the matter has assumed
the nature of a small sized war.--1nde-
pendent.

ATLANTA, March THE Constitution

upon a declaration of Nesbit, commits.
sioner of agriculture, that the prospect
has not been so bad in forty years. From
South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi
reports are that farm work is fully one
month behind and that with the most
favorable prospects the record of last

census of opinion Is that a reduction of
acreage and the delay in farm work will
cut off the cotton yield by at least half a
million bales. Other crops are likewise

An important bill has passed the house
of the Georgia legislature. It is the
Georgia law regarding labor agents, re.
Quiring them to pay an annual license
tax before they can conduct that bust
ness. This was so altered that the H.
cense will cost $l,0O' for each county in
which the agents operate. The above
shows how very anxious the North Car
olina people are to get rid of their Col
ored population. Their representatives
in Congress are stultifying themselves in
a most extravagant manner when they
pretend that their state could do. with
out the labor of the Colored man, with
out that labor, the whole South would
be a bowling wilderness.

ENTERED At POSTOFFICE As SECOND GLASS MATTE
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 7, 1891.

Among the utterances upon the sub
ject of free and fair elections
none are more forcible than the fol.
lowing from the message of Governor
Eagle Of Arkansas: "The liberties OF
the people and the perpetuity of good
government can only be secured and
perpetuate by free and fair elections.
The right of every citizen to cast his bal
lot untrammeled, and to have it honestly
counted, is one of the highest and most
sacred rights enjoyed by an American
citizen. To corrupt the ballot box would
be to corrupt and finally destroy the
government itself. I can conceive of no
greater calamity that could befall the
State, than to have the ballot box lose
its purity and it's sacredness. As we
would preserve our liberties and the
generations to come, let us preserve free
and fair elections.''
