A Quartet of Negro Murderers Suffer the
Same Fate Which Their Victims Met
Their Dead Bodies Drawn, CHARTERED
and Burned In a Heap.
MoNRoEvILLE, ALA, Oct, 14.-The re-
voting murder of Richard L. johnson and
his daughter, Jennette. and sfterward the
burning of their bodies to conceal the crime,
last Friday night, caused indignation SO
great among the whites and blacks that they
never ceased day or night their efforts to
find the guilty parties. Four suspected
negroes were arrested and brought here to
jail by cool headed citizens. While on the
way to Jail the negroes confessed, and their
confession flew like wildfre over the coun-
try.
A mob was at once formed, who came to
Monroeyille yesterday morning, overpow-
cred the Sheriff and took the negroes from
Jail. Their intention was to carry the
negroes back to the scene of their crime,
there to lynch them and burn them at the
stake. News has been received that the
mob accomplished its purpose. The names
of the negroes lynched are Jim Packer and
his brother, Nose johnson and Burrell
Jones.
When taken from Jail under the custody
of the Sheriff they were hurried out OF town
by the mob, which grew in numbers as it
proceeded with their prisoners The mob
never reached the intended destination.
They were too impatient for vengeance and
at an out-of-the-way place they tied ropes
around the necks of the four negroes, who
were soon swinging between heaven and
earth. While yet living and struggling for
breath their bodies were riddled with bull
lets. They were then cut down, their limbs
torn apart by the maddened mob, and
gathered together in large heap and
burned, just as the culprits had burned the
bodies of their helpless victma

sPRINGER's REPLY TO SHERMAN.

The Democratic Successor to Mills Talks
Tariff and Currency.
ALTON, Oct. 14-The Democratic meet
ing in this place to-day was addressed by
General A. E. Stevenson, Democratic can
didate for Wee President, and Represents
tive Springer, Chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, House of Representa-
tives. Nh. Springer talked on the tariff for
a while, and concluded by replying to Sem
ator Sherman on the banking question as
follows:
Congress has no more right to impose
tax upon the notes of State banks in order
to suppress them, than it has to impose
tax upon the deposits and discounts Of State
and private banks in order to suppress such
banks entirely. IT Congress can righttulIy
and constitutionally exercise such a power,
it could also impose such tax upon the
rents of lands as to make lands worthless as
investments, and thus compel the occupancy
and cultivation of land as the only condition
of ownership. However desirable such a
policy might be regarded by some people it
would be most dangerous and UNIV arrant-
able exercise of the taxing power of the
general Government. The prohibitory tax
upon the circulating notes of state banks is
without any warrant in the Constitution and
the courts would undoubtedly so hold if
test csse was brought before them.''

1.-THE time was when farming was great
industry, but now the boy fees from it as
from the cholera in NewYork harbor. Why?
There Is nothing in it. Doesn't the farmer
work hard? The farmers have retrograded
in wealth, socially and politically. The
same thing is true of our ocean carriers.
Their trade has dwindled to nothing as we'll
as the farmers God help them. But who
gets the benefit? The farmer? Not bit of
it. Senator Allison said years ago: No
body will claim that agriculture is pro-
tected. There is small duty on wheat, but
it does not afford any protection to the
great grain and wheat-growing districts of

Wheat Raised in the States.
'We raise in America 500. 900, 900 bushels
of wheat a year. We eat up ourselves
800. 600. 900 bushels. The average consump.
tion per individual is five bushels annually,
and that is all you can choke down . mans
throat. The balance lies rotting in the
granaries for want of q market. Yet they
put tariff on wheat to keep out the foreign
grain. Where do you sell your wheat?

Not this year, but you will in the next
The prices IN Liverpool govern the wheat

says if you want to know who pays the tax,

bushels of Canadian wheat came into Buff

tect you from that much.

put duty on tin to make it cheap also.
The man who can ride these two horses is a
dandy. Sugar went up a cent the other

into healthy action they will put on a few
more cents. 1t may not be 80 cheap then.

The Ex-ohio Orator Doing Good Campaign
Work in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-The presence of Hon.
Benjamin Butterworth attracted an un-
usually large crowd to-day at the noon
meeting of the Commercial and Travelling
Mems Republican Club. Nh. Butter
worth's appearance on the speakers stand
was greeted with tumultuous cheering, and
frequently during his remarks he was inter-
rupted by bursts of laughter and applause
He said the men whom he addressed were
those who came into contact with the
world Of business, commercial and agricul-
tural, and who were capable thereby of
realizing whether the condition of the coun-
try was poorer or better than that which
existed before the system of protection was
put into operation. He urged them to pro-
tect protection, and added that our fathers
never intended merely to develop the mines
and Industries, but to develop the men and
women of our country. Mr.. Butterworth
also forcibly discussed the State bank
question.
