The little Kingdom of Portugal is
in financial straits and is said TO be
contemplating the sale of her territory
in Africa to some other power. True.
Portugal has no rightful claim Oh
Africa, but merely followed the ex-
ample of England, the great verdi
grabber, in sending out exploring
expeditions whick took possession OF
the country belonging TO the negroes.
Mozambique is Portugars possession,
ald Great Britain is expected to be
the buyer, as its acquisition would
give her control Of nearly all that
portion of Africa in the South Tenn
perate Zone.

The indications are that the Repub-
Iicaa minority in the House will stand
so!idl, in opposition 10 all tariff fink
ering schemes. Not one of them will
vote fer the Springer free wool bill.
No protectionist can vote for it with
out surrendering the principle on
which our tariff system to-day is
based. Free vool.meaus free wolless,
! and fee woollens mean the destruc-
ton of protective duties along the

criminal. lie served five terms in
prison and passed half his life behind
the bars. Van Dieman's Land, Lon

convict. Yet a few years since he
was converted in Jerry McAuleyis

new leaf and abandoned his life of
crime, but became an active mission
airy, devoting his attention TO reform
lug criminals. for whose benefit he
founded in Brooklyn a House of In
dustry, in which house he died, and
the good he did lives after him.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July ls.-An ex-
citing scene was enacted in the
criminal court of this county during
the trial Of u seduction case Satur-
day. A lawyer named Thomas
Winn, who had been elected special
judge to try the case, sustained de-
murrer TO the evidence and dis
charged the defendant, q wealthy
young farmer named Charles Farris,
without giving the jury an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the merits of the
case. The courtroom was crowded,
and as soon AS the courts decision
was announced the angry auditors
made rush for Winn, and had
they caught him II was their inten-
ton TO treat him to u coat of tar aud
feathers. Winn escaped through
the back door and has not been seen
since. Proceedings have already
b, EN- commenced to disbar Winn
from practlcing at the Buchanan
county bar. A party of farmers are
