untold agony until yesterday morning when
death relieved him.

A Second Degree Verdict,

KTTTANNING. Sept 16-[Specia. The
trial of Henry Hartman for the killing of
Andrew Sweeny was finished this after
noon. The jury rendered verdict of mur
der in the second degree. The verdict is
explained by the fact that Judge Reyburn
confirmed one of the defendants points
that the shooting was not premeditated.
Hartman's defense was that he shot to rro-
tect himself and his aged mother, whom
Sweeny was beating.

BosToN, Sept 16-[SseciaL - Boston
capitalists have bought up all the coal
mines in Nova Scotia, and propose to fight
the Reading combine. The general impress

President Henry M. Whitney, of the

NovaScotia in connection with the big deal.
Nova Scotia coal can be landed in Boston con-

signed by the consumers and to be presented
to the gas company, saving that if the rise
is not taken off they will abandon the use

Justice is not blind in the state of Ten
nessee. The startling news comes by tele-
graph this morning that H. Clay King, the
murderer of Posten, in Memphis, has had
his sentence of death Commuted. Else
where will be found complete story of
the crime The murder he committed was
deliberate and premeditated. 1t was like
many murders in the South-cowardly-
but in this case the murdered man was of
the same color of the murderer and of
equal social prominence. The grim iudg-
ment Of the court has been set aside. Stern
justice meted out to this red handed gent
lemanly" white murderer would have gone
far toward removing the trite charge of
laxity in their laws, from the region south
of Mason and Dixon's line; but the saving
of his miserable life shows there is one law
for the white man and another for the
black man in the South. In the mean time
the black man is being murdered by white
men, in that section Of the country, with
amazing regularity. For shamel

THE CONVENTION.

THE TRIBUNE believes the first repub-
lican state convention which assembled
in the state capital this morning will do
its whole duty in presenting to the peo-
pie of the state a ticket that can win at
the polls in November. 1t has no desire
to dictate to the convention who shall be
nominated; but every man of intelligence
is aware that unless the strongest men
in the party are placed before the people
there will be no use in nominating a
ticket. 1t will be no walkover this time.
Three alert parties are in the field against
the party of freedom and PROCESS. Put
the ablest men in the state to the front
and success is certain.

MORE SOUTHERN JUSTICE.

Those who have read Tourgee's powerful
American novel, Bricks Without Straw"
will remember the well known character
of Nlmbus, the coIored man. The indign,-
ties put upon him simply because he was
black have been repeated in Arkansas. A
few days ago Eugene Baxter, negro, was
visited" by a crowd of half-drunken men
at his cabin in Ashley County, Arkansas.
They came in the dead of night, with the
ayowed intention of robbery and the pro-
bable purpose of doing physical violence
to the householder. Baxter, plucky col
ored man, defended his castle like hero.
He had a rife, and used it with good effect.
His first shot killed one Of the robbers, and
, 1892-08-10

the rest sneaked away, carrying off the
body of their ''pall" OF course a warrant
was at once sworn out by friend of the
lawbreakers for Baxter's arrest. He was
taken into custody and locked up in
aimsy sort of jail, so as to have things
conveniently fixed for prospective lynchers.
Early Saturday morning the lynchers
came. Jailer Morgan of Monticello quietly
handed over the keys. Baxter was taken
out and riddled with bullets His dead
body was left where it lay as warning to
negroes who might hereafter contemplate
defending their homes against midnight
marauders.
1t is said that the better part of the white
citizens of Ashley county denounce this
lynching. 1t is certain that In Arkansas,
as in every other Southern state, the re-
spectacle white voters are as anxious to
see the colored man protected in his prop
erty rights as to prevent his exercise of
political privileges. Their efforts in this
direction have been futile. Political rights
and civil rights are inseparable. A class
that loses the first has lost the second, too.
Arkansas, it will be remembered, is one of
the cotton states where negroes are allowed
to vote on election day. AS each colored
man drops his ballot into the box white
inspector turns an unseen crank and the
ballot falls into waste-paper basket.
Senator Quay had one of these patent
boxes on exhibition in his committee room
during part Of the last session of the Fifty
first congress.

IT HAS BEEN just 1CO years since the dis
covery of Illuminating gas. William Muir
dock first lighted up his home in Cornwall,
England, in 1892, by means of coal gas
made in an iron kettle, into which he had
inserted a rough iron tube; but it was not
until six years later that the invention was
developed on large scale, and in 1907 Mr..
David Melville, Of Newport, Rhode Island,
adapted gas for use in the Beaver Tail
lighthouse. Itwould be difficult to pre-
dict the character of the illuminant that
may be in use when another hundred
years shall have rolled around; yet gas
will always be remembered as a powerful
factor in the development of the arts and
sciences in the Nineteenth century. There
is another kind of gas thousands of years
older that has done duty for windy ora
tors, which is not remembered pleasantly.

What il VIII Want In Fall EIec-
ttOn The Political Situation
There-The Peoples Party said
TO be weakening.
1t speaking of the political outlook in
Whitman county, H. o. Ward. editor of
the Oakesdale Sun, says that the prospect
for republican success in that county has
never been better, Notwithstanding the
fact that it is considered the third party
stronghold. The democrats made very
serious mistake in adopting the third party
platform at their county convention and
nominating farmers alliance men for
county officers with the hope of getting
the endorsement of the new party, in
which they failed, and as a democratic
ticket it is decidedly weak While on the
other hand the republicans used the best
of Judgment in nominating their county
officers, and have ticket which is con-
ceded as being strong in every particular
and sure to be elected this fall.
In speaking of Whitman county's posi-
ton in the state convention Mr.. Ward said
he had no hesitancy about stating that the
delegation is a unit in the support of @.
w. Bean for superintendent of public in
struction, and they have at no time enter
tanned any thought of presenting a man
for any other state Office.
ID. w. King, the young editor of the
TekOa Globe, one of the leading republican
papers of Whitman county, is in the CITY
attending the convention. This morning
he was interviewed by TRIBUNE reporter
regarding the political situation in his
county, and particularly regarding the
strength of the third party.
Notwithstanding the fact" said Mr..
King, "that Whitman county is conceded
to be the stronghold of the third party in
the state, it Is a recognized fact that the
/ party is weakening daily, and already so
much OF its strength has wasted away
that it cuts but little figure. Even its
nominees are deserting and returning to
the ranks of the republican or democratic
parties. The third party will detract moth.
| ing from the victory of the republican
party in November"
How do your people stand on the Lake
! Washington canal"
Eastern Washington, and particularly
! Spokane and Whitman counties, are de
cidedly in favor of anything calculated tc
further the commercial interests of the
state at large"
Mr.. King reports immense crops in his
region and the prospects very bright for 8
bounteous crop. He will leave for home
! tomorrow"

No EIectIOu,

A good-looking, well-to-do and popular
young bachelor of Silverton was being
teased by the young ladies Of club for
not getting married. He said: "I'll marry
vote, you elect to be my wife" There
were nine members of the club. Each
girl went into a corner and used great eau
tion in preparing her ballot, and disguised
the handwriting. The result of the vote
was that there were nine votes cast, each
girl receiving one. The young man re-
mains bachelor, the club is broken up
and the girls are all mortal enemies, united
In the one determination that they will
never speak to that nasty man again.

SOME time ago THE TRIBUNE contained a
proposition relative to an artesian well in
Western Washington. The Kitsap County
Pioneer says in boring for water at Sidney
at depth of 100 feet the drill broke
through hard strata and into a regular
subterranean river. The flow filed a
8,OOO-gallon tank in less than an hour.
Thus the water problem for Sidney is
solved at last. Doubtless good flow of
artesian water can be obtained anywhere
in Washington.
