FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. %, 1892.

SINCE TIE election the New York
Press has been denouncing the South
right and left for the l59 electoral votes
she cast for Mr.. Cleveland, and thereby
elected him. 1t said yesterday 1.-THE
South slaughtered the Union soldiers
in the field and starved them In the
prison The soldiers of the South I'M
ouestionably did in defense of them
selves and their own homes and fire
sides. kill many of those who came
from the North to murder them and
their fimjlies and TO destroy their
properly; but if they starved any north
ern soldiers, il was no more than they
did with their own, and what they
were compelled to do by the Union
government, which blockaded their
ports and refused to exchange prisoners.
But all that occurred nearly thirty
wears ago, and the fact that the PreSS
brings it up now proves that that paper
and its party nurse their hate Tor the
South to keep it warm, and are only de-
tered from manifesting it in overt acts
by the lack Of power Had Mr.. Harri-
son, who thanks God he was not born
in the south, and a republican Congress
been elected, there would be an extra
session to i,ass the Force bill.

q Neel (O.) correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. Finding one end of
it broken loose from its place. he got in
his boat and crossed to the other side of
the creek to find the other end Of the
line.
Taking hold of it and givingit a little
pull he thought he had a huge fish. He
allied for help to save it and man
Came to help him, and when they got
to it they found a large animal about
eight feet and half long, with 16 legs
and four eyes. He had caught himself
on the hooks, and had IL large hooks
fastened in his body. After long and
severe struggle they got the animal
ashore.
He seems to be very quiet animal,
and will be easily tanned. They now
have him tied with rope, and with a

ed in the Washington &or:
Il am IN earnest protectionist, but |

ton apply to our intercourse with other
countries on this continent. If there
were no customs houses between this
country and the republics south Of us,
il would be worth hundreds Of millions
of dollars tous. Absolute free trade on
this continent would be greatly to our
advantage
There is no doubt ofthe fact that with
free trade this country would soon be
come the storehouse from which all the
markets OF the world could be supplied.
With liberty 70 buy in the cheapest and
sell in the dearest markets, this country
would be on top in a short time. So

would be advantageous to the United
States; and if with this continent, why
not. for stronger reason, with Europe,

because there was no comet near Us.

She had "Voodoo" Doctor and Died.
CHARLESTON, S. c. Nov. 25.-An in
quest held by Coroner Muckenfuss dis
closes curious case of "voodoon medi-
cal practice which has landed the prac-
titioner in Jail. Clara Webb, young
colored woman, was the victim. She
was taken ill a fortnight ago and after
two days treatment by regular ply
stefan, "voodoo'' doctor, B. w. White,
was called. White is as black as coal
and dresses like a minister. He told
his patients friends she was infected
with reptiles and to get rid of them he
began cupping her head. Her hus-
band and father swear that White drew
forty of all sorts of reptiles, but there
must have been something else the
matter with Mrs. Webb, for she died.
The jury declared death due to lack of
proper medical attention, and White
was arrested. Investigation has shown
that in some cases these doctors carry
on their persons small snakes and liz
yards which are used to dupe patients.

She May Explode.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 25.-Mis5 Dollie
Watson, of this city, believes that she
has swallowed six dynamite caps and
fears that they will explode and cause
her to start on an involuntary journey
through space. According to her story
Jacob Whittier, with whom she had q
quarrel, seized her and forced down her
throat six pellets, which he assured her
contained dynamite. Dollie's landlady
instantly insisted upon her leaving the
house at once, and gave her pair of
felt slippers to go down stairs with to
prevent the dynamite from exploding.
Her friends avoid her as if she had
contagious disease. When she told her
story in Justice Libert's court the au-
dience fed in hurry and one deputy
sheriff in his eagerness to get out
smashed a window. Physicians who
have been consulted disagree as to the
probable consequences in case Dollie
really has dynamite in her system.
Some say she is destined to explode,
others that the dynamite must have lost
its force. Whittier has been arrested
and is held to await the outcome of his
experiment.
