Breaking n Set.

She WINS an April bride and made her
first appearance in the West Philadelphia
market. Her movements were watched
with evident interest by marketers and
marketmen. After strolling around the
place for few minutes and getting the lay

grocer's stand.
"Do you keep pigs feet hcrc?"
"Over to the pork butchers stand, miss"
was the reply.
II want some pigs feet" she said, ap-

THE United States finds itself
severely handicapped by the reduction
of the train service in different parts Of
the country and has resorted to some
unus aal means, as will be noticed in
another column, for its delivery. The
new schedule on for the arrival and
departure of the mail in this city has its
advantages and disadvantages, not
Z enough of the former, however, in the
general opinion, to quite counterbalance
the latter. Some remedies will have to
be made before the public will be quite
satisfied :
now TO CARRY OUT THE POLICY.
The Atlanta Constitution has the
following to say about carrying out the
Democratic policy:
When the Democratic orators and
NEWSPAPERS were calling on the voters
9 totoome to the support of the party so
.sthat the policy of right and truth and
Justice nigh prevail in this republic,
there was no mincing OF words. no
seh,buts" and Ifs. :" There were no sug-
Sgestions that questions OF public policy
were TOO frail and dainty to be touched.
On the contrary, both the tariff and the
financial questions were roughly
hgndled
~ There twas in the platform-ths
whole grand scheme of reform, plainly
sset forth, so that no man could misun-
ID srstand or misinterpret 1t The Sher-
2 man law was to be repealed because it
was makeshift standing in the way of
the restoration of silver as o money
standard. The Mckinley law was TO be
repealed as the eliminating atrocity of
class legislation, protection was de-
nounoed as unconstitutional, and the
people were promised the benefits of
tariff for revenue only.
But since the Endorsement of the
party by the people, and even since
Congress assembled in extra session, we
see various symptoms OF desire to deal
/ in a gingerly way with the platform
pledges The banks and the money
power say: Repeal the Sherman law
and stop. Adjourn and 20 home" The
people say: Repeal the Sherman law
and carry out the whole of the financial
plank Then go ahead and reform the
ssariff."
Some Democrats in the East are max
ing very significant observations about
platform pledges. They say the ad-
ainisseation will refuse to be bound by
sglittering generalities. The New
York Times has gone so far as to de-
clare that the Presid mt has already
i kicked the tariff plank out OF the plat
form Then, again. we are told that
tariff reform Is such very delicate
question that it must be handled with
kid gloves.
We trust that ali the symptoms that
have been showing themselves are in
significant They appear in high places,
but the Democratic party in Congress is
higher than the source of these undemo
cratic uttersnces. 1t can, and we be-
lieve it will, carry out the terms Of the
party's contract with the people
promptly and fearlessly.

1T WAS A LIVELY TIME,
Ministers in Chicago Have a Meeting
and Discuss Lynching.

CHICAGO, Ills, Feb. Il The regu-
lar meeting of the Pastors Alliance
of the First Methodist church was
characterized by outbursts of anger,
eloquence and abuse. Those present
worked themselves into a delirium
over the introduction of a resolution
endorsing Governor Hogg's condemn
alton of the burning att the stake of
the negro Smith, at Paris, Texas, a
few days ago for the fiendish murder
of a child. The resolution stated
that Smith was tortured to death be-
cause he was negro.
1T was not because he was a ne
gro," shouted Rev. Mr.. Leach, of the
Paulina street church, jumping to his
feet and angrily pulling the black
Texan mustache. ''It was because of
the crime he committed, and he got
his deserts. He was served quite
right"
s'No, noi' sShame." Hush." Shamen'
came from several hundred voices.
II repeat ill.," angrily roared the
pastor of western appearance. "He
got what he deserved, and / say that
the same is due to all such as hep
Finally the discussion was closed
by the modification of the resolution
SO that it simply condemned the pun
ishment of the man, without a pre-
liminary trial, and urged the protec-
tion of rights in this respect.
The ministers then turned their at
tention to other subjects.

VERY SURPRISING VERDICT.
j. L. Clark Convicted Of Voluntary
MansIaughter.

DANyILLE, Va, Feb. 1.-THE jury
in the case of the commonwealth vs..
J. T. Clark for the killing 'of Rev. j.
e. Moffett this morning returned a
verdict of voluntary manslaughter,
and fixed his punishment at five years
in the penitentiary. Attorneys for
the defendant made motion for a
new trial, which was oyer-ruled.
THE MAIN POI NTs IN THE CAsE.s
The Commonwealth contends that
when Clark saw Moffett in the Regis
ter office, he went out to waylay him:
that he was moved to revenge hy
what Moffeett had done to him. 1t
relies on the dying statement of Mof-
fett, who said that Clark made the at
tack by firing on him when he was
four or five yards off without warn
ing.
The lawyers of the defense rely on
the testimony of Green Williams
and 2. 3. Gravely, who stated that
the two men were scuffiing when the
first slot was fired. They argue that
Clark left the Register Office to avoid
Moffett,and that Moffett meeting him
on the street, made the attack. They
hold that, even if Glars did attack
him. on meeting him suddenly on the
street, he had sufficient proyocation;

prove fatal. Three of them are Tom

did. If you are the man I'm thinking
about, you have fresh memory on
this subject since you come to think
about it; for, through some mysteri
Gus opposition of fate, you had to sit
down and reflect that you didn't ''get

say. Why? You were equally as
well equipped for the journey as some
other people of our acquaintance. and

you know; and, unlike most good ad-
vice, something you would like to

thing in its way. Get up and shake

INTERNAL REVENUE OFFICE
Winston is Entitled to and Should Have
the Main Office.
THE VIEWS OF MR.. 4. E. HARTMAN.

The Cfty's Business in Internal Reye-
nue. Stamps is Getting to be Enor.
mous-Receipts at the Winston
Office Over a Half Million Dollars
Last Year-We Can Get the Office.
The following letter from the editor
of the Southern Tobacco Journal was
written in response to a request from
the editor of THE SENTINEL. 1t will
be followed by letter on the same
subject from the pen of the editor of
the tobacco journal published at
Richmond:
To the Editor of The Sentinel
WINSTON n. c., February II. 1S93.-
AS per your request for my views on
the establishment Of the main Office
OF the internal revenue of the Fifth
North Carolina district in Winston /
can say that l heartily endorse the
idea and believe the Office can be loca-
ted here if the people of this city will
aid you in securing it. There can be
no doubt that Winston deserves the
office and if the proper steps are taken
she can have it. This city's business
III internal revenue stamps is getting
to be enormous and the money which
Uncle sam carts away from here cy-
cry year is wonderful. | have kept an
accurate record of the business done
at the office here during the past sew
en- years, the total of which is $4,31S,-
962.1S Last year the receipts were
$649, 242.62. The business of the Win
ston office has increased in volume
from year to year and it will not be
long before this office will be selling
one million dollars worth of stamps
annually.
In addition to the above facts Win
StOn is the center of great manufac-
turing community which largely feeds
the internal revenue receipts of the
Fifth district. Here are congregated
the great factories which pour over
half million dollars annually into
the National treasury and here is the
natural home for the main office
There can be no economy and no
sense in locating this Office outside of
Winston.
AS | understand this matter, how
ever, the location of the Office rests
largely with the man who is chosen
collector. This being the case the
| thing for Winston to do is to get a
collector appointed from here and
then we can be assured of the office.
| If Winston has no man who will ask
| for the cOllectorship, then let this
| city decide to throw its influence for
| some candidate who will agree to
| have the main Office located here in
| the event of his appointment.
If the main Office is located here
| fully three-fourths of the business of
the district will be done at this
| point. This will make public
| building an absolute necessity and an
absolute certainty for Winston.
Hence we see that the appointment
of the right man as collector for this
district means public building for
our city. AS Winston, with her
great back country and surrounding
tobacco towns, all of which will favor
this point for the main Office, holds
the balnnce of power in this matter,
| it behooves our people to act cautious
| ly and surely in this matter and not
let this prize vanish which is now
within our reach. Ii. e. HARMAN.
