THOSE NORTHERN republican news
papers that say the sugar and rice plant
ers of the South will support the repub-
lean ticket at the coming election, in
consequence ofthe benefits they receive
from the Mckinley tariff bill, imagine a
vain thing. What good would the Nc
Kinlev bill, or any other kind of bill,
do southern sugar and rice planters,
with a Force bill in operation? The
fact that man raises sugar or rice does
not necessarily deprive him of common
sense, and, possessed ofthat quality, he
must know that under Force bill the
section of country in which he lives
would be in such a disturbed and dan
cerous condition that its whole in
dustrial system would be disordered and
destroyed. and that he wouldn't beable
to raise rice and sugar enough for his
own use, and that therefore ne would
have none to send to market, to have
its price affected by either high
or low tariff. With the Force bill, the
engrossing object of the rice and cotton
planter would be the preservation OF
his property and the protection of him
self and his family, and, compared with
that, the tariff rate would be matter OF
no consideration whatever.

TRAIN ROBBERS CArTURED.-Eugene
Bunch, the notorious outlaw and train robber,

were surrounded in dense swamp near
Honey Island on the Pearl river. Bunch,
who had sworn never to be taken alive, show
ed fight and was riddled with bullets. lie
died game and fired three shots ut the posse,
none of which took effect. Hspgood surrcnd-
cred and WAS quickly made captive. The
rewards outstanding for Bunch's capture,

The switchmen's Strike.

All trains are now moving promptly
at Buffalo, N. Y, and the striking
switchmen are trying to persuade the
other railroad organizations to strike in
sympathy, but Grand Master Sargent,
of the firemen's association, says that
he will not order the men out unless
the other organizations decide upon a
general strike. A conference of the
chief officers of the several organiza-
tons will be held to consider the stu
alton. Fifty switchmen of the Western
New York and Pennsylvania Railroad
struck yesterday because required to
handle freight from the New York Cen
trail. Governor Flower says the troops
will not be withdrawn until life and
property are free from molestation.

developments will be made in short

DURING THE recent strikes at Home
stead and Buffalo women took promi-
nent parts and, according to the pub
lished accounts thereof, not only urged
the men to acts of violence and cruelty,
but committed such acts themselves. 1t
is hardly wonderful that women are
not treated in the North with the re-
spect that is accorded them in this sec
ton, for where they presume to be the
equals of men, to vote, TO hold pubic
office, to go on the political stump, and
to lead and follow mobs, it is only nat
ural that men should allow them to go
their own gait and to look out for
themselves. 4 woman's helplessness
wins for her the respect and protection
of every right thinking man, but she
forfeits both when she talks and acts
not only like man, but like the worst
of man and the condition of q country
in which women do not merit and re-
ceive the utmost Difference and respect
is bv no means favorable.

held up and Wells-Fargo express car,
which was part OF the train, was rob-
bed by four masked men near Augusta,
Butler county. Before 9 o'clock Sun

with part of their booty. The high
wayman did not attempt to rob the
passengers, who knew nothing of the
robbery until after it was all over.
The amount of money stolen was about
$4,000. The robbery was committed by
four farmers, who live in the vicinity
of Douglas, Butler county. Sheriff
Nipp, Of Cowley county, was informed
that such scheme was on foot early in
the week. and while he could not dis
cover when the robbery was to take
place he had posse in waiting. AS
soon as he got word of the hold-up he
pounced upon the outlaws and ar
rested them.

"BUD" LINDSAY, the U. 5. deputy
marshal who led the mob in Tennessee
and who, when Col. Anderson had been
treacherously seized under flag of
truce, put pistol to his head and
threatened to blow his brains out if he
did not order his force TO surren-
der, turns out, as is almost in
variably the case with such rascals,

ard. In the face ofpersonal danger and
to save his own worthless neck, around
which rope had been put, he begged
and whined like a dog, and promised to
sacrifice all his followers by giving their
names and supplying the evidence that
would convict them. Another apt il

Mrs. TOM WooLFoLK REMARKED.


Mrs. George Byrd Voolfolk, the
widow of Tom Voolfolk, was married
last Tuesday to George Lamb, superin-
tendent of a barrel factory at Macon,
Ga. Woolfolk's crime is well known.
five years ago he killed nine members
of his own family in order to gain pos
session of the family estate. For three
years he was in prison awaiting the
final disposition of his case by the
courts. During that time his wife kept
up the appearance of constancy, but
dressed tlashily and behaved in aques-
tionable manner. George Byrd's mar
rage to Tom Voolfolk was a runaway
affair, and the ceremony was performed
on moving train while it was passing
through the principal cemetery of the
city of Macon. She has frequently as
cribed her i'll luck to the fact that she
was married in a graveyard.-S. Louis

A NEGRO association has been organ
lied in Rome, Georgia, the object of
which is to ostracise every negro man
or woman who does house or kitchen
service for white people. What the
effect of the success of the object would
be in Rome, is not known here, but
there is no doubt of the fact that if such
an organization existed in Alexandria,
and its object should be successful, there
would either be a great reduction in
the negro population of the city or
great deal more industry be manifested
by the men of that population, for when
the negro women shall stop bringing
home every night, from their service
places, crammed buckets and baskets,
the negro men will have to hustle and
scufile for meat and bread.

Gov. MCKINLEY, author of the tariff
tax bill that bears his name, recently
made speech, in which he said: mo
one ever claimed that protective tariffs
were intended to increase wages" As
the only conceivable reason for pro-
tective tariff is that it may possibly
benefit laborers, by increasing their
wages, the Mckinley tariff tax bill
should be abolished at once, as so good
authority on the subject as Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself denies the existence Of
any such reason. If high tariff on
the necessaries of life doesn't increase
wages, but certainly does increase the
cost of living, how it benefits poor peo-
pie is what no reasonable poor man
can tell
