FIELDEN, Neebe and Schwab, three of the
anarchists engaged in the Haymarket
Square riots in Chicago in 1887, and sem
fenced to state prison for life, have been
pardoned by Governor Altgeld of Illinois
and are now at liberty. In commenting
upon this outrage the Chicago Tribune saws:
The anarchists unveiled their monument
to Spies and Parsons few days too soon
The monument was unveiled Sunday and
yesterday Governor Altgeld released three
men who had been in Joliet prison since
November, 1887. 1t was generally UNDER
stood that they were 10 be let 20 in the
event of Altgeld's election. The anarchists
believed he was not merely an alien by birth
but an alien by temperament and sympa-
thies, and they were right. He did not APP
prove of the result of the trial held before
Judge Gary, and for that reason the anarch-
lists and half-baked Americans supported
him at the polls whenever they had an
opportunity" Since this outrageous act of
the governor has been made public the sub
ject of the legality of the citizenship of
Governor Altgeld has been discussed in
legal circles and the general impression pre-
walls that he is not a citizen of the United
States. This he claims by virtue of his
fathers naturalization. Now the question
arises, was his father naturaliZed, and when
and where? John r. Altgeld was born in
Prussia, coming to this country with his
father when boy, and settling in Mans
field, Ohio Now the question arises, when
did the governors father take out natural
ization papers? Was it before or after his
son attained his majority? Whether the
famous Governor Boyd case of Nebraska il

proper papers can be prepared, and compel

THE MARTIN CASE.

Testimony in the investigation at
Richmond affords a powerful argu-
ment in favor CT electing United
States Senators by direct vote OF the
people. As it is now there is too
much chicanely and, in the Western
States, too much corruption. We
give herewith the statement of the
delegate from Patrick county.
Mr.. Thompson, OF Patrick, stated
TO the committee that during the
canvass friend told him that money
was needed in his county and he could
get iU it he was favorably inclined to
Mr.. Martin for Senator. This friend
was DR.. L. S. Martin, a member of
the State Democratic committee.
Previous to this he had received a
letter from Congressman Swanson,
bringing to his attention the quail
fications of MIR. Martin for Senator.
Mr.. Swanson said something about
getting money to put into his can
vass, but said nothing about doing
this upon condition that he would
support Mr.. Martin. Therefore,
when he was approached by DR..
Martin he told him that he ha been
written to by q friend who recon
mended MIR. Thomas 5. Martin very
highly and was favoraDly inclined to
the Scottsville gentleman. Later on
DR. A. s. Priddy, of Charlotte, came
TO Patrick, but he did not see him.
Subsequently DR.. Priddy sent to the
county chairman $3.50, which he
said was tor use in the canvass upon
the assurances he had received that
the witness was for Mr.. Martin as
Senator. This money was sent to
DIR. Hughes, the county chairman,
who gave witness $24 Of it and dis
bursed the remainder himself. Dr.
Hughes was, said the witness,
partner in the drug business of DR..
Martin. MIR. Thompson stated that
nothing was said at the time the
money was given to him that he was
expected to vote for MIR. Martin.
Some time after the election DIR.
Priddy came to Patrick and he had
a talk with him in the drug store of
Martin & Hughes. The Doctor told
him he was glad to hear that he was
favorably inclined to Mr.. Martin.
The remainder of the conversation
was with regard to Mr.. Martins
qualifications Mr. Thompson stated
that on five ballots in the caucus he
voted for Hon. John Goode and on
the sixth supported General Lee
Captain Shepherd, he said was the
first person who suggested to him
that what had occurred was an in
direct bid for his vote.

GIRLS AND READING.

What girls should read is always a
timely topic. A tavorite author is
Ruskin whose lectures, Grown of
Wild Olives" ethics of the Dust. -
"Sesame and Lilies" are especially
commended. Ruskin, by the way, is
an author of great beauty of Ian
guage and his writings are full of
ideas Which are at the same time
both noble and sensible.
Every girl needs poetry and that
isn't difficult to seek. LongiellO ",
Bryant, Mrs. Browning and many
others are within reach. AS for the
books found at the railway stations,
the summer novels, etc, most of
them are useless and many of them
poisonous. The novels of Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Southvorth are
not in the class to be commended,
but Mrs. Gaskeus are and Mrs.
Oliphant, Scott, Thackery and
Dickens. For young girls as we'll as
for boys Lambs ''Tales from Shake
speare" is one of the best OF books.
"Romola" and Ramona" are
standard novels. HawthOrne's
blouse of Seven Gables is a good
book for children for they like a little
OF the supernatural. Lorna Doom
is one of the sweetest of love stories.
Dickens Tale of Two Cities is an
excellent book to put into She hands
OF youth Some think that culture
is an aid to beauty. Certainly, a
girl who has read and imbibed good
ideas is far more attractive than one
who has not, and it is often true
that the face of an intelligent girl is
more winning than others. 1t is
true of nations that culture adds
beauty, and why may it not be so
with individuals?

bonds hearing 4 per cent interest.
Ii they do net request bonds, they
are to he guaranteed interest on their
book accounts at the rate of 3 per
cent per annum- As to the use to be
made OF the money by the govern
ment, the author OF the bill explains
that it is intended to "open a way
for the raising of funds for the govern
nent without resorling to methods
of taxation which would be felt bv
the people" The simplest interpre-
tation OF this woult be that the Gov
ernment is to leave off raising revenue
by taxation and ia tolive upon what
it can borrow. But il We credit MIR.
Bowers with having too much sense
to mean this literally (as it would lie
only charitable to dol, we must SUI
pose he means that the money will
be funded by the Government in
somewhat the same manner in which
European Governments handle the
money received through the postal
savings bank.
''Now while this might not be
seriously Objectionable from the
point of view OF some of the Eastern
towns where there is more capital
than they know what to do with, i5
would not do atall for Western COM
munities which suffer from lack OF
capital. For example, take Oak
land. We have four savings banks,
in which there are deposited $1O,-
| 600, 900; this money is loaned out
on real estate security and is used to
build houses. business blocks, street
railroads, and factories; it furnishes
/ the ''grease" for every business en-
| terprise in town. Suppose that by
| the esta blishmento of a postal savings
! bank system this money should no
longer be allowed to remain in Oak
land, to create improvements and
stimulate business, but should he
gathered up and sent on to Wash
ington or New York; what would be
/ the effect on this city? Evidently
about the same effect that the fall of
a heavy frost would have upon a
field of tropical plants; it would
blight, wither and well nigh kill leaf
and branch.
IF there is to be any kind OF postal
savings banks, it must be some sort
which will not strip Western com
munities of their circulating capital,
but will let it remain where it is most
| n 'eded-that is, in the unity
where its owners live"

NEGRO EXPOSITION.

In Augusta on Monday the negro
exposition was opened with great
ceremony. 1t is a splendid event in
the history OF an emancipated race
that it has advanced so tar as to
have an exposition OF its own. An
exhibition of the industry of the race
must stimulate the race ITSELF The
Southern people will be pleased with
the address of the speaker of the day,
Rev. E. r. Carter, colored minister
OF Atlanta. He dwelt upon the kind
treatment of the negro in the South,
particularly in Augusta, and told his
audience that the southern people
were their best friends and the south
land the greatest land of promise for
them. The negroes, he said, talk
about lynching; they had better talk
about those men who commit crimes
that deserve lynching He advised
the hegroes to be patient, accumu-
late wealth and make friends of the
people they are living amongst.
