A TOO SENSITIVE EDITOR.

Gen. Sherwood sees fit to publish the
| following, without any sort of authori-
| zation, there is but one thing to do,
viz denounce it as the base falsehood
that it is:
Editor Phelps Of the Alliance Re-
view says the Critic Is the best Demo-
| cratic daily ever published in Alliance,
since h9 retired from journalism Demo.
cratic"
Knowing the above to be as false as
it is ridiculous, Gen. Sherwood should
make proper coIrection.-Alliance Re
view.
We cheerfully print the above Now,
If Editor Phelps Is serious minded over
harmless joke, we will drop the sub
ject. But when IL is known that the
Alliance Critic is the only Democratic
daily newspaper that has appeared in
Alliance since Editor Phelps retired
from Democratic journalism, most any
editor ought to have discovered the
pub of the joke.
A journalist as experienced as Editor
Phelps ought not to be serious over
harmless comment, that everybody saw
was In seriocomic vein.
The eNEws-DEMoCRAT has not treated
Editor Phelps with dlscourtesy. We
have never abused him because he left
Democratic journal to edit Republi-
can journal, in the same municipality.
He Is a private citizen and his politics
and professional skill are his own pri-
.vate property.
But it was only few days ago that
Editor Phelps violently attacked Gen.
Gresham because he saw fit to change
his politics.
We have no apologies to make to
Editor Phelps, because we have said
nothing unkind to him, or unfair;
neither have we intended TO misrepre-
sent him. And now to make things
even, we will say, that in the opinion
of Editor Phelps, the Critic of Alliance
is the worst Democratic paper since he
retired from journalism Democratic, in
that city.

ings Of toll In the entire State for the
past two years. According to the
official certi6cation of the Republican
Auditor of State, the first session of the
Seventieth General Assembly added
more than S15,000,O00 to the local
bonded indebtedness of the State. That
session broke all previous records In
this or any other State, but this years
session has been more prolific In debt
making, and more startling reckless In
defying the limitations of the Constitu-
tion. If any job has failed to secure
license to bond and mortgage the toll
and earnings of labor and capital, It is
because 1t was ashamed to knock at
the doors of the Legislature. Think of
$25, 100000 of this class of indebtedness,
piled upon the already towering noun
tain, In less than two yearsi Think of
the future toll of the people being
mortgaged to bond brokers at rate
far In excess of actual earnings of
productive laborl-Col. Taylor, at

rHe MAJORS fAR AHeAp PRopHtcY.

at last, our Governor has been in
duced to make prediction. It is not
very starting, but II Is news, and worth
printing. The Major was caught on
the fly, at Pittsburgh yesterday morn
ing, and was induced by local reporter
to speak as follows:
The Republican party Ia proliting by
the defeat Of last November, and is
strengthening itself all along the line
where weakness was discovered In a
manner that argues much for the future.
1t Is rather early to talk of election. but
the overthrow of Democracy In 1896. I
believe, is almost assured. While In
Washington l gathered the informa.
tion that number of radical changes
would be made in the present tariff
laws. What they will be | do not know,
but they will rebound to the credit of
Republican party"
The fact tEat the Major learned In
Washington that his tariff is to be
changed, is not news. The Major knew
that before he went to Washington.
The people told him that,iu a very loud
tone of voice, of continental volume.
early in November last. But the fact
that this new tariff is to rebound to the
'..is VI phO lbopuuiiChu party, 10 ubWB-
But the prophetic portion OF the
Majors brief interview is real news
The Major says he is almost certain
he, shall scoop 'em in 1896. Why did
not the Major say this before. Here
we have been waiting for oyer fva cold
and weary months for some cheering
word, and even now we are put off
with a nebulous prophecy, that it will
take almost four years to grow up to.
Why did not the Major give us this
at the Canton banquet2 In
the absence of all stimulants, and amid
the stomach gripes of green ba auas
and immature strawberries, how this
electric prophecy would have inspired
the solemn patriots, who sat moodily
around the unliquidated feast.
1t Is observed that the Major makes
no prophecies for 1893. The signs of
the times-(the ell ctions in Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Wisconsin and
Ohio, this very moDth) all tend to dis
the Major from making any
predictions for 1893.
Herein the Major is wise.

ATLANTA, April 1j.--Bob Burnett. a
country merchant who slept in n room
In his store, near Fort Gaines, Ga, was
murdered by negro, who entered the
store for the purpose Of robbery.
The murderer was captured and car.
ried back to the scene of his crime,
where a large mob had collected. He
confessed the murder and at once prep.
arations to burn him alive were made.
A fence was torn down and the rails
piled around stump and the prisoner
tied and laid upon the pile. Kerosene
was poured over him and on the pile of
wood.
The negro begged pitifully to be
spared while the crowd yelled with de.
light. Some one touched a match to the
wood and the flames shot 90 feet in the
air. Amid the cracking of the flames
and the screams Of the victim pistol
shots rang upon the air and dozen
balls perforated th3 body of the helpless
wretch.
The negroes formed a majority of the
mob and did the most of the work Of
preparing the bonfire. Negro men and
women, with long poles, stood around
and piled the chunks on the roasting
flesh. The victim of the cremation was
negro, whose name was unknown.

THE cLEws CIRCULAR,


The Henry Clews financial circular
for April 10 is received, and has been
carefully read. Henry appears to get
more knowledgous every week. The

universally odious Mckinley bill. AS
we may be acused OF misinterpreting
the circular, welquote'
Had the export trade been permitted
to take its natural course, wn should
probably have had today fifty millions
more gold In the banks and the Treas

A Hawaiian Fears Trouble.

! CHICAGO, April 15.-Hugh Morrison,
manager of the Great Makawell Sugar
plantation, at Kauia, the northmost of
the group of Sandwich Islands, is stop
ping at the Great Northern. He is of the
opinion that Commissioner Blount made
mistake in lowering the American flag
in Honolulu.
! THE queen and native government
are incapable of ruling the country, " he
said, and the provisional government is
not strong or numerous enough to as
sumo the reins of office. 1t would not
be possible to establish republic on a
working basis. The influential and
educated whites are not numerous
enough, and they know one another too
well. There would be a continual
scramble for Office. If the United
States government withdraws from the
Islands there will be trouble between
the royal factions and those connected
with the provisional government.
There are many whites, for the most
part people who have nothing to lose,
who side with the queen. If she is re-
iEStated there will be constant dissen-
SION and unpleasant feelings, though
do not look FOR any actual fighting. The
natives are very peaceful and would
not be apt to take up arms. Labor
troubles would be frequent, and have
no don BIT but the contract system would
be seriously interfered with, and this
would destroy tho sugar industry.
VI have a strong suspicion that the
American sugar trust is by intrigue at
Washington seeking to bring about the
conditions toward which the preliminary
steps have been taken, if the dispatches
are correct. The trust fears that if the
American protectorate is established
sugar refineries will be started on the
islands. The trust is not a combination
OF growers but solely of refiners. At
present we do not refine the sugar but
ship 1t to America in the raw state"
