LISHED HITH THE R2OUT.
Tho Horrible Punishment Inflicted Upon
the Convict hiiners In Tnnnessee.


CINcINNATI, o., Jan. Ed Hudson. who
says he spent two and half years as
convict miner in the coal mines in and
near Briceville, Tenn, yesterday told the
chief of police horrible story of the treat
ment accorded the Convicts.
He says the men are divided into gangs
and given u certain amount 10 do each day.
II they fail to get out the required amount
they are beaten with an instrument which
very much resembles the Russian knout.
All are whipped no matter il all but one
or two did their share.
He claims he has seen convicts die from
this beating and Hudson IS himself mass
of scars. Every cut of the knout draws
blood Two men he had known committed
suicide to avoid punishment, and others
have been known to pull great pieces OF
Switchboard upon themselves hoping to
MAIN themselves SO that they could not
work in the mines.
lIudscn's story IS on line with that of
persons of national reputation. who
recently investigated the Tennessee system
and described 1t as worse than slavery.

JOHNSON Cry, Tenn, Jan. 5.-Parties
from Cranberry, coming in the morning
trains, say that the whole neighburRood ii

THE INSANITY PLEA.

Mayor Harrisons assassin may be in
sane but il is foolish to attribute this
mental condition to the reading OF
Henry Georges works. Indeed, those
who are engaged in the task of proving
Prendergast to be insane can find more
reasonable explanation for his mental
unsoundness nearer home.
Governor Altgeld of Illinois has par
doaed convicted criminals, men who
have wantonly destroyed human life,
and in doing so arraigned the courts and
juries which convicted them. Is it not
likely that Prendergast's insanity is due
more to the fact that anarchist
murderers have been liberated and their
crimes complimented by public Off
Ger than to the innocuous doctrines
preached by the author of "Progress
and Poverty" 1t certainly seems so.
However, as has been said before,
Prendergast, whether sane or insane, is
a dangerous person to be at large and
should be placed where there will be no
possibility Of his again indulging his
homicidal tendencies.

EvENING DRESS on STRIPED sILK.

EVENING DRESS OF STRIPED SILK.
his fancies, and the thought of a gown II
born-born to die and be forgotten in many
cases-for the women of the day are capri
cious and hard to please.
Under such conditions end in the midst
Of such uncertainty the chronicler of modes
can do little save to reproduce the novelties
as they appear, leaving IL to the good taste
OF readers to select those most becoming
and appropriate for special figures, says a
writer in the New York Sun, who calls
attention to the tendency toward over
skirts. This manifests itself in the ar
rangement Of waved and vandyked rows Of
trimming, In double skirts of contrasting
colors, and on the more daring models the
old fashioned overskirt actually appears
unobtrusively.
In an evening gown of the new striped
silk, the stripes crossing the skirt with jac-
queminot lines on o soft gray ground, the
simulated overdress Is put on with founce
of rich lace headed with scarf of velvet
tied In bows on either side where the drap-
cry curves and in the front where it curves
down, as in the old fashion. Sashes of the
velvet tie on either shoulder, and deep
rufiles Of lace fall over the sleeves. An
other mode which dominates the seasons
styles is the basqued bodice.

THE TARIFF RESPONSIBLE.

In the joint debate in Worcester last
evening in which Congressman Walker
and Mr.. George Fred Williams were the
disputants, the important issues now
before the people of the Bay State and
of the country as well were discussed.
Mr.. Walker advocated the cause of pro
lection. Mr.. Williams on the other
land evaded the tariff question and in
dulged in personalities uncalled for and
wholly without warrant on such an
occasion. The three thousand people
who gathered in Mechanics hall desired
a fair discussion, not mere platitudes
and buncomb.
Mr.. Walker contended that the pre-
yailing financial aud industrial depres-
ion is due almost entirely TO the threats
!rfade by the Democrats to destroy the
lariff. The silver question has had, as
ne stated, a certain influence, but it was
insignificant in comparison with the in.
fuence for depression and stagnation re-
ulting from the fear that the Democ-
racy will carry out its threats TO destroy
he protective system.
Protection, in Mr. Walkers view, and
" Is the correct one, is not partial In its
benefits. Tho manufacturer is helped
by it, but so is the laborer. The bene-
It is equally distributed. The wage
Yorker under II is enabled TO earn higher
wages, live better aud enjoy more com
orts than the man doing the same class
4 work Ia free trade England.
This Is the essence Of the whole discus
on. Present stagnation is due to the
= lleats against the Mckinley tariff.

Funeral services Over the Remains Of
tho Murdered Mayor.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The remains OF Chi
cago's dead mayor were borne to the city
hall yesterday. there to lie in state. Dense
crowds thronged the streets and sidewalks
for blocks around the Carter Harrison
mansion on Ashland boulevard and wit
messed the funeral procession. Solemn
stiffness was observed
The cortege was lengthy one and the
distance to the city hail, two miles
through the heart of the city, was not
covered for considerable time. Follow
ing the carriages containing the city OFF,
Gals and mourners came q great throng
resolved to accompany the comparatively
small cortege to its destination. Simplic-
ity was the feature Of the obsequies.
As soon as the casket was borne In and
placed on the catafalque In the center cor
thrown open, ard line OF silent, SEEM

the building, each to take last look at

people passed rapidly by.
The face the people looked upon was the
one they had been accustomed to in life
Death had wrought no perceptible
changes. The late mayor seemed to be
sleeping. Three quartets stationed near
the bier sang, at intervals. the hymn

blacks, with their kits upon their shoulders
and their ragged hats in their dirty hands,
tiptoed by and paused moment to look
upon the face Of the man they knew In
life. Old city employees brushed away a
tear as they went by. There were many
women In the procession.
The public schools are closed today. The
board of trade banks and other places OF
business are deserted. The funeral took
place at IL o'clock from the Church Of the
Epiphany An hour before that time the
remains were taken from the city hall to
the church, where the services according
to the Episcopal ritual were conducted by
Rev. I. II. Morrison, Jr.
The procession proceeded from the
church to Graceland cemetery. The col

THE MAYORALTY.

Everything that has occurred up to
date, and all that is known relative to the
hopes and plans of both parties, points
to the conclusion that there will be
sound, progressive, business Republican
in possession OF the Office of mayor Of
Providence upon and after the first
Monday in January, when the pleasant
gentleman who now occupies it is to re-
turn to private life.
This prospect has been made possible
by the very strong public sentiment,
which has for year been steadily grow
ing, in favor Of the selection of one of
the most approved business men of the
city for the Office of chief executive OF
the city; and by the persistent and des-
perate attempts Of the Democrats to
force all city affairs upon purely po-
litical basis. This has been so appar-
ent throughout this year as to
create a very strong prejudice
against that party in the
community, so that when it became
known that the Republicans would Sc
lect man as their candidate whose
chief claim upon their suffrages would
be his proved capacity to successfully
manage large interests, there was an
instant response from the citizens. The
evidences of approval were not all con-
fined to the Republicans, but extend to
a large class of lifelong and thoroughly
partisan Democrats who cannot bring
themselves to look upon city affairs as
wholly belonging to politics Of the
Tammany-Hall variety,
Never in its history has the Demo-
cratic party of Rhode Island striven
more earnestly to accomplish an end it
desired than 1t has labored to place the
affairs of this city In the complete con-
troll of Democratic machine that for
rapacity and unscrupulous devotion to
interests antagonistic to the city can
give Tammany points and remain big
winner,
There has been no pretense that the
city is suffering on account of the doings
of Republican officials or the operation
of any policy inaugurated by them.
The time has not yet arrived when the
people of Providence are willing to put
the administration of their municipal
affairs into the hands of an inside DEM
ocratic clique whose methods initiate
Tammany with respect to its evils
without having the strength or ability
to initiate what few virtues the New
York organization possesses.
The Republicans are fully aware of
this spirit, and share in it, and have
determined to make their campaign upon
the issue that it raises, not making 1t a
partisan issue further than a deter
mined opposition to the Democratic
scheme obliges them to, but placing
their reliance upon the good sense Of
the voters and the strong and wholly
creditable ticket they will put in the
field.
