HORRIBLE CANNIBALlsM.
The Story of the Crime of Two Cb;ldran =.
Rays Mill.

lIFroN, Ca, February 21.-It appears
that the horrible story of murder and
cannibalism, near Rays Mill, recently is
tact which is now substantiated Inv 70
liable parties. The story, as now told in
full, is as follows:
Lucy President, degraded and idiot
ic negro woman, left her home and nine
months-old infant in charge of her two
older children, Mark and Under. aoed
respectively eleven and nine years. She
went to the place of Mr.. j. A. Knight.
two miles distant, to do some out-of-
door work for Mrs. Knight. After her
| departure it seems that Mark. her eleven
yer old son, resolved upon putting the
infant out of the way. So he told his
sister what he proposed doing, at the
same time telling her that if she told it
he would kill he. Procuring an ak he
went to where the infant was and delhi
erately knocked it in the head. Not
content with the heinous crime he had
already committed, he took fork and
gouged out the eyes of the little one.
which he roasted, and then taking slice
from either jaw he and his sister set
themselves down to feast.
It's said on being asked if he really
eat the eyes and jaws of the infant. the
little fiend replied: eyes, sab, me did,
and it was dood.'
Considering the youthfulness of the
perpetrators of this horrible tragedy we
doubt if it has parallel in the annals of
crime.

A FALSE ALARM.

Our eastern friends, sometimes referred
to as ''gold bugs" on account of their
strong antipathy to having the govern
ment use anything as money except the
yellow metal, are greatly exercised just
now for fear that the west and south
may insist on placing silver on the same
level as the yellow god which they wor-
ship with such humble alteration; and
are explaining At much length and per-
sistence the untold evils which would re-
suit from again placing the white metal
on the plane from which, in their wond-
erful devotion, they have torn it down,
IN order that their idol, gold, might
stand alone and above everything else.
Reduced to plain. everyday English,
their argument is Ills: New York, they
say, is practically the bank through
which the rest Of he country does busi-
ness with the rr-i of the world, and to
make New Yor! take money from the
west and south. .r par with gold, which
they would h"<' to pay out Ito Europe)
at a discount. "ould be to practically
force New A;.': (our bank) into bank
ruptcy, bec"rN" it would force the bank
to lose abo;s, thirty cents on each dollar
they handled. and, they add with an air
of great con. ;~tion, this is what free
colnage.of sil>.r means.
1t is with no desire to, disturb this
truly simple :tith of our eastern friends,
that we are led to point out few facts
which must always prevent others from
sharing their child-like faith in the yell
low metal Such devotion as theirs is
worthy of all respect although it might
inspire more confidence were it trihe
less fervid. In the first place, if the
bank (New York; does not have to pay
out to Europe any money, debased or
otherwise, she cannot be forced to lose
anything by taking silver or anything
else from the west and south, at par with
gold; or otherwise, provided she can pay
it out again to the west and south at the
same ratio, which is just what she could
do under free coinage law, and there
would certainly be no money to pay to
Europe, unless we bought something to
be paid fer. But that is just what we do
not do. We sell to Europe, each year,
many millions of dollars worth of goods
more than we buy, SO that instead of
being called on to pay money, Europe
! is really o5Iiged to pay us u balance each
year Of ,aany millions of dollars. as is

A COMET,

AS comet Eliminates the dark and
dread unknown, SO does the following
letter from the Hon. Robert Buchanan of
Sioux Falls, to the Ruralst, illuminate
the political condition of South Dakota
as she stands under ring rule. Buchanan
would have been the republican speaker
of the last legislature had Shiloh Moody
kept his hands off. Moody owned the
state, hence he must dictate. Such republi.
cans as w. F. Dunham of Lincoln
county had to be introduced to Moody
after running his legs off to serve him
in a previous campaign, as did the
writer. Look at how Judge Clifford and
W. NJ. Cuppett have been treated by
these self same constituted "Rotten-
Tweed-Tammany" bosses. Mr.. Cup
petit would not put a brass collar around
his neck before election, hence he had
to be knocked out. Judge Clifford, who is
as much one of the people to day as when
the boys called him "Gitf," had to be
sent back from Mitchell and Pierre in
political chains because he would not
acknowledge Il king-a boss, and yet
these self same kngs-bosses, will read
Clifford, Cuppett, Dunham and other
equally true republicans out of the party
as they have Buchanan, and still there
are few who wonder why there is
peoples party? Ten years ago the people
Of the northwest represented the republi
can party. To-day large majority Of
the people of the northwest represent the
peoples party. Shiloh Moody and his
coajutors represe Mt spoilsmen and boss
20. Here is Buchxnan's letter. Read it
carefully good republican friends and
then join the peoples party Of honesty
and purity.

THE Ohio State Journal thinks the
Hill club orgaaizad in Columbus is a
movement for Senator German of
Marylaudin in disguise. While the Jour
nal is not reliable exponent of Demo-
cratic politics, it's observations seem to
be worth printing. Here they are:
every development seems to show
that the Hill club, organized here a few
days ago, is a German Presidential
movement in disguise, the better to
check any Cleveland demonstration. In
order to get the German boom launched
it was labeled Hill club, 80 as to draw
in a large number of Irish-Americans
who are Hills supporters, but once
started, all the signs indicate that un-
deriving the movement the prime game
is to advance the Presidential interests
of Senator German. Senator German
is of Celtic extraction, aud the Irish
American voters here seem leaning to-
ward him almost unanimously, hence
they inaugurated the Hill club as a
preliminary move to break the Ice
against Cleveland and then later STAN

GETTING SOME LIGHT.

THE following Is aneXtract from that
able Republican organ, the Toledo
Commercial. 1t sounds little ike
some remarks made by Democrats on
the stump last fall, who were denounced
at the time by Mckinley as calamity
howlers.
"Oyer production Is the cause assigned
by trade writers lately for the depresslo,ns
In business which has at last forced ltseit
upon their unwilling attention, Jhis Is
about as misleading as the so called pal
ance OF trader between this and foreign
countries, The truth Is that this so called
"oyer production Is nothing more or
less than under consumption, Consum
ers have not the means OF buying sfreely
as formerly and they OF M cessity tutlall
their orders, get along with less and busi-
ness in all its ramitlcstions feels H. Inc
Commercial has been pointing out 0is
tinctly for some time that tho purchasing
power OF the people is becoming less
that wages have been undergoing ue-
crease, that those composing the IN sses
were gradually being deprived OF thelr
ability to purchase and that the obvious
teaching of such conditions has ocen
either neglected or ignored"
The News DEMOCRAT predicted just
this condition of affairs when the Nc
Kinley bill was passed. We said the
high tariff would enrich the trusts, al
the expense of all legitimate business
This has been the result. The trusts
have made enormous profits, The white
lead trust made over S12,0O0,00O last
year, and the cordage trust over 81, 400,
OOO. There are over two hundred trusts
fostered by the McKialey bill, but al
legitimate business has been seriously
injured, and, in the midst Of bound
less harvest, labor today is a paupel
everywhere, and beggar in every pro
tected industry in Pennsylvania.
Capitalists are everywhere withdraw
ing their money from Legitimate bust,
ness and putting it into trust stocks
The whole business of the country i!
drifting into the contiol Of gigantic
aggregstions Of greed, and real estate il
depressed, because the industrial classes
who buy houses have been so afflicted
with labor cuts that they have h2t
nothing to buy with.
Even leading Republican organs art
beginning to see that the McKinle!
iniquity will have to go, or the grea
middle classes Ia this country will b
wiped out, and we shall be like Russi;
and China, where high protection ha
| had full sway.
