About II a. M, last Thursday,
during the session of Lincoln coun.
ty circuit court, at Brookhaven,
about 120 armed men rode IN from
the country and surrounded the
courthouse and jail. Three of the
mob then attempted to scale the
jail walls to iberate their white
cap friends, but were driven back
by Deputy Sheriff Willoughby.
Judge Chrisman then went into the
midst Of the hostile men, and when
he commanded them to disperse
was covered with Winchesters and
pistols, but he faced them like a
lion at bay. The Judge soon walk.
ed off to meet posse of armed
citizens, and was furnished with a
pistol. He then advanced at the
head Of the posse, and the mob,
seeing him preparing for q charge,
retreated, and finally left the town.
These white caps were led by Na~
poleon Brewer, of Pike county.
Gov. Stone, Secretary Goyan and
Adjt. Gen, VIM Henry, with 40
stands of arms and 1000 rounds of
cartridges, and company Of 40
men from Wesson, were soon at
the scene of trouble. The firm and
courageous action OF Judge Chris
man is commended on all sides. The
town is under arms and well guard>
ed. The grand jury has found in
dictlnents against 81 members of
the mob, who will be arrested. The
white cap trials are in progress
this week.

McKINLsYs PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS.

Charles Theodore Murray, who is an
able and alert editorial contributor to
the Pittsburg Dispatch, one of Nc
Kinley's booming organs, does not take
a roseate view of the Majors presiden-
tial prospects. The following is from
Mr.. Murray's pen, written from New
York, after careful survey Of the sit
uation there:
"rhe machine is against Mckinley"
says an authority to me last week.
"There are, as you may guess, the most
powerful influences here in New York
and elsewhere to circumVent the Nc
Kinley boom. While his own State
went overwhelmingly for him and a
very lively sentiment will De worked
up on the tariff question by the time
the next nominating convention comes
around, the most determined effort is
being inaugurated to shut Mckinley
off the track. There are some power
ful personal reasons behind this, but
there is also an unmistakable feeling
among the machine leaders-and by
these mean the men who will have
control of the party machine both be-
fore and at the convehtion-that the
Ohio Napoleon is too ultra in his views
aud record, and that his nomination
would be unwise."

thus admitted can be considered. The
question came up on the appeal of
Joseph Lees and John S Lees from a

of England to perform labor in their

IT seems that Larry Ashbaugh, who
now owns majority of the stock of
the Youngstown Sun Co, was also in
Akron, looking over the situation
there. He told Mr.. Herb Saxton that
he thought we'll of the Canton field,
but left the impression that he had not
decided to locate anywhere until he
had visited several other promising To-
cations. In our humble judgment Mr..
Ashbaugh will not get sufficient en-
couragement in Canton to risk his new
venture here, 1t takes something more
promising than promises to make a
daily newspaper.

Death of an Old Resident From
the Effects of La Grippe.

Mrs. MsRdalenA Sell died this morning
at 7:30 O'Clock a. her late residence, No.
l39 West E ghEh street. The primary
cause of death was Ia grippe, from which
Mrs. Sell had been suffering for O short
time. Death came this morning very
suddenly. Mrs. Sell, whose maiden name
WAS FOrDes, was born in ElBace, a
email European country, in November,
1875. Her age wsa seventy-aigbt years.
When she was twelve years old her
psr-nts came TO America, landing in
Charleston, =. c., where they remained
one winter, going from Charleston TO New
York, and six months later came to Cam
'ou. Here she lived until 1896 when
she was married to Mr.. Sell. and removed
% New Franklin, Ohio, They returned
to Canton in 1868 and have since resided
here. Nrs. Sell was the mother of seven
children, all living; Joseph, Rose, Louis,
Edmund, Leo and Mary Sell and Mrs q.
MosRlin.

remains in ST. Johh's Catholic church

THREE hundred men replied TO an
advertisement ia London newspaper,
asking for single laborer. The wages
offered were lees than ninety cents

Wilson billl-Massillon Independent.
After a quarter of century of high
protective tariff, and after more than
three years of the highest protective
tariff ever known, since Christopher
discovered us in 1892, we have right
here in Canton, the home of the great
Champion of Protection, in the midst
of the richest garden lands of the world
more than 300 Hundred laborers who
would jump at the chance to work for
80 cents day. And we should not be
surprised If there are not in the city of
Massillon, half as many who would
be glad To work for 80 cents day.
And Ia tho city of Cleveland, not quite
so big as London, and not 80 old by
several hundred years, plenty of help
can be had for so cents a day. And the
yVilsOn bill is not even bill yet; and
the Mckinley bill has been in steady
and continuous and all-peryadlng bus
Iness for over three years.
The Independent would do well to
notice the dispatches today from
Northern Michigan, which is several
thousand miles west Of London, where
the men of the mines are starving and
are willing to work for their board.
After having worked for over twenty
Eve years in highly protected indus
try, they have nothing to show for 1t
but their own miserable lives, while the
men they earned millions for are living

WHEN the Mckinley bill was pend

"protection to American industry"
Wien the Wilson bill Is pending for

build fewer castles in the Scotch High

The Republican organs are seeking
to divert public attention from the
vital recommendations of the Presi-
dents message by flaming headlines
denunciatory of his position ON the
Hawaiian question. The classes which
aided and aoetted the white man con-
spiracies, eliminating in the mad rush
to Oklahoma and the Cherokee strip
are not likely to see any shame in the
conspiracy of United States forces
which sg5verted the government or

IAE PACIFIC SEA ISLANDERS.

AS we have before remarked the
average American does not think any
of the colored races have any rights that
the SC. called white man is bound to re
spect.
This applies to the red man, the
black man and the copper colored man,
and the man with the almond shaped
eyes. The history of this country
from the time that Capt John Smith
laid his head (for safety in the lap of
pocahontas in 1907, down to the OPEN
ing of the Cherokee Strip, 2S6 years
later, shows one continued series of
wrong and outrage on the red man of
America. And now the sentiment of
the late Gen. Sheridan, expressed in
in 1876, Just after the Gen, Custer mas
sacre, that the only good Indian is a
dead Indian, expresses the average
American view.
And the history of the African race
in America, from the opening of the
African slave trade in 1713, down to
this very hour, tells the story of hu-
man nature repeating itself, the strong
depressing the weak, the same as 1t has
always been, since the original human
family flew into tribal factions, which
raised wicked Cain, and slew the docile
Abel. And now the same aggressive
and cruel spirit is uppermost in this
honolulu controversy. The average
American does not care whether the
lazy and squabbish Queen Lii was
pushed off her little throne by the .. s.
Marines, or whether she was compelled
to abdicate because she was unable to
hold the indolent and comparatively
useless natives of her blood and skin
tan into loyal sufferance, The average
Americans know little about the blood
royal rights of the far away Queen of
the leprous isles, and they care less than
they know. About the only question
the average American thinks about is
Are these islands, with this mongrel
population of Polynesians, Chinese,
Americans, Germans, English and
mongrels worth having? Do we need
these islands, and these islanders, not
as a field for missionary American
civilization, but on mercenary grounds? I?
This is the average political view;
President Cleveland takes broad,
humanitarian view. This is creditable
to his head and heart. He knows, and
everybody else knows, who has read
the evidence, that Queen Lii was
crowded off her perch by a
conspiracy, in which the United
States Minister and the United States
marines were the most forceful fac
tors. President Cleveland would right
this wrong. But the average politician
has never learned, in his trade, any
thing like conscience; hence the aver
age politician wants the present status
to stand. and the Queen to sell her
royal diadems and go into other
business, The average American citi-
zen seems to think we want more land
out in the Pacific seas, and the average
American citizen has no place in his
heart for Queen, especially colored
Queen. Four queens, or a royal flush
would catch the eye of many Ameri-
cans, but the motto that killed glo-
rious old Tom Corwin during the war
with Mexico, "Our Country, Right or
Wrong" is the motto that catches the
massas
