THE ROANOKE TRAGEDY.

Lynching of the Negro Tom Smith at
an Early Hour this Morning.
ROANOKE, Va, Sept. PA squad OF
20 men took the negro Smith from
three policemen just before FIVE o'clock
this morning and hanged him to hick-
DRY limb on Ninth avenue southwest, in
the residence section of the city. They
riddled his body with bullets, and left
placard on his body, "This is Mayor
Trout's friend" A coroner's jury of
business men was summoned and view
ed the body of the negro and rendered
q verdict of death at the hands OF un-
known men.
Thousands of people visited the scene
of the lynching between daylight and
$50 o'clock when the body was cut
down. After the jury had completed
their work, the body was placed in the
hands of officers, who were unable to
keep back the mob. Three hundred
men tried to drag the body through the
streets OF the town, but Rev. DR.. Camp
bell, of tine First Presbyterian church,
and Capt. r. 3. Norman with plead
ings and main strength, prevented
them. Capt. Moorman hired wagon
and had the body put in it. 1t was then
conveyed to the bank of the Roanoke,
about one mile from the scene Of the
lynching. The dead negro was dragged
from the wagon by rope about two
hundred yards and burned on pile Of
dry lumber in the presence ofan infu-
rated man of over 1000 men.
The mob threatened at one time to
bury the negro in Mayor Trout's yard.
Threats of vengeance have been openly
made against the Mayor and the militia
for attempting to maintain the law.
Capt. Bird, commanding the militia,
has left the town. Mayor Trout has
also disappeared and President Buck
ner, of the City Council, is acting
Mayor. The excitement is running
high now. There is talk of the citizens
holding an indignation meeting, land tits
rumored on the streets that threats are
being made to burn the town unless
satisfaction of some sort is rendered.
An immense crowd is in front of Oak
ley and Woolwine's undertakes shops,
where seven of the dead bodies lie. 1t
is now found that only nine men are
dead.
The military claim that the mob was
repeatedly warned that there would be
shooting, but received these warnings
with jeers, and finally replied with a
volley fired at Capt. Bird, who then
ordered the men to fire at the mob,
which was battering down the side door
of the Jail. More trouble is feared.
Every effort is being made to calm the
excited crowd.

IT WAS foretold at the time Of the
violent strike at Homestead, that the
death knell of the once powerful Anal
gamated Steel and Iron Workers Asso-
citation had been struck. 1t seems as If
that prophecy has been fulfilled, for
though most all the iron and steel
works in Pittsburg and its vicinity have
resumed operations, nearly all of them
have done so with non-union labor,
which they find more satisfactory.
The proprietors now being allowed to
conduct their own business in their
own way can enlarge it to any desired
extent.

THE DEMOCRATS of Pennsylvania, the
Great mining and manufacturing State,
are true men and believe in and stand
by the principles of their party. AT
their late State convention they de-
clared that they ''hailed" with satistac-
ton the assurance that the vital cause
of tariff reform is not TO be abandoned,
nor its consummation long postponed. "
The faith that is in them is strong IN
deed, and all good democrats hope it is
well founded; but many of them have
their doubts. If the democratic mem
bers of the ways and means committee
of the L. s. House of Representatives
were as true blue as the members OF
their party in Pennsylvania, they would
not have frttered away almost two
months of precious time before even
commencing the preparation OF tariff
reform bill.

THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. p, 1898

BEFORE THE advent of Mgr. satoill IN
to this country the Catholic church here
was distinguished for its eminent con-
servatism, for its perfect discipline, and
for the quietness and smoothness with
which all its affairs were conducted.
Since then, however, the exact reverse
has been the case, so that now even the
secular newspapers are filed with letters
and interviews of the Pope's delegate,
and of his most prominent supporters
Archbishop Ireland and Rev, Patrick
Corrisan, on the one side, and OF those OF
the lay friends of the hierarchy on the
other, about the most private affairs OF
their church and their own personal
souabbles. Fit be wise to have pa
pal delegate here, and probably it Is,
Mgr. Satolli should be recalled, and his
place be supplied by one recommended
bv the Catholic Council ofthis country.

Now THAT the bill to repeal the fed
eral election law has at last been re-
ported in the lower branch of Congress,
it is hoped by all believers in home rule
that it may be passed by the large
democratic majority in that body with
the least possible delay. Ifit has come
to pass that the respective States are
incapable of securing to their citizens
the privilege of a free vote and an hon
est count, then republican government
is patent failure in this country, as it
has been every where else, and the
sooner the man on horseback makes his
appearance the better.

A DISPATCH from Honolulu says the
usurping President of Hawaii has been
saluted with twenty-one guns from the
Z. S. man-of-war Boston. The COM
mander of that vessel should be cash
Tered at once. Hawaii is country
with which the United States are at
peace. The ships of the latter have no
more right to salute the chief of the
few disnaturalized Americans who have
temporarily deposed the legitimate
government of Hawaii and assumed
rule there, than they have to salute airy
of the many insurrectionary chiefs with
Il little brief authority now strutting
about in Central and South American.

Senators Chandler and Hoar, the two
grannies of the senate, and the two re-

with the senate at the time of the sena-

down various propositions by which he
reaches his conclusions, as follows:
"First-Reject the whole proceedings,
and decide that there was no election on
the ground that the legislature had not
been organized.

No Cure For IT,

Doctors OF all schools kinds and degrees are
unit for once they all agree that there never
has been medicine, used in general practice
or known TO the medical profession, compe-
tent TO cure asthma. They say there Is no cure

that the medical profession Is away behind the
age and are not willing to learn or take adyan.

crease their circulation by $500, 1000 900.
This, with the returning gold and their
investment hoardings, will increase the
amount Of money in actual circu-
lstion very largely, and with it
will inevitably come q considerable
increase Of prices. l believe that
those who hold their wheat will re-
Ceive much better prices than those now
prevailing. The old party press are do
ing the farmers q great injury in the
persistent Misrepresentation of the pros
pectivs yield Of wheat. We will not have
in South Dakota more than half an aver
age yield, the government estimate for
July being 66 per cent. a falling off Of
twenty points during June. The harvest
result will show another falling off Of 20
points more. For the United States, as
reported July l, winter wheat, n per
cent; spring wheat, IA per cent. For
the good Of the farmers, we would re-
spectfully ask the boom papers to quit
their Misrepresentation. When the truth
is known, wheat will begin to climb up.
II our sub-treasury plan were in opera
tion, we would be smiling at the pros
pect Of $l.25 wheat. We would have to
import wheat in 1893 If labor were fully
employed. / know that it is useless to
advise the majority of farmers to hold
their wheat. Our creditors will not per-
NIT us to, but | would urge them every
where to not rush wheat to market in
the present panicky condition of trade.
Let it stand in the stack just as long as
you can, then sell as little as possible to
provide for pressing necessities. This
will at least help those who are forced to
sell in the near future. If the conditions
foreshsdowed are realized, we may con-
tidently expect an advance on this crop
of 25 cents per bushel over present
prices. In this l do not want to be un-
derstood as giving any advice whatever.
/ simply believe it to be my duty at this
time to state for the consideration of the
members the situation as see it. II the
conditions predicted prove correct, viz:
the expected inflow Of gold and increase
OF national bank currency, we will have
higher prices. Fraternally,

Demanding Attention.

1t may be useless, under present con-
ditions, to talk to congressman about
anything except the silver question, yet
there are other questions which must
soon be disposed Of, and there are people
who do not lose sight of them. A. D.
Marble, of Winfield, has prepared sew
eral good bills, among which is one pro-
Viding for the employment Of all persons
needing and desiring employment, in the
improvement Of roads and other public
works; also bill for the establishment
OF government coal mines and coal yards,
and one to increase the currency by
making the issue all government certi6-
Gates of indebtedness, bonds, notes, etc.,
in small denominations, viz: 81, g., SIS,
$40, $40, $50 and S1OO.
The objects Of the latter bill is to in.
crease the amount Of the circulating
medium without increasing the public
debt, and to provide a currency adapted
to the wants and necessities Of the
masses OF the people, whose business
transactions, with few exceptions, range
from 5 cents to So. Many millions Of
dollars Of our currenCyis now in denomi-
nations Of $1,000 and $4,000. Suppose
that all of our currency was in those
denominations. II such were the case,
does anybody doubt in the least that
family COWS would beg for buyers at a
nickel apieceH The people do notycare
so much about the kind of money as they
do about the amount, that they may be
able to get some Of it.
The provisions Of the coal bill are:
SECTION l.. That no more Of the peo-
pies heritage, the natural resources
known as coal deposites, shall be sold to
individuals, nor be given to corporations,
combines or syndicates.
Sec 2. That the government (the
general agent or the people) shall estab-
lish collieries or purchase those already
in operation, and establish and operate a
coal yard in each city and town where
coal is used as the principal fuel, and
supply the same to the people at cost.
SEC. 3. That the labor bureau shall
have control Of this department and in
making all necessary preparations for
the proper execution Of this act shall be
as economical as the nature Of the case
will admit, and all sums paid out shall
be covered into the treasury as rapidly
as possible from the net surplus derived
from the mining and handling of coal,
and supplying the people.
SEC. 4. That minimum prices only
shall be paid to railroad companies for
transportation Of coal from place to
place,

A MARROW ESCAPE
DR.. divers Horse Rolls Down
Pail.

DR.. r. Oliver, resident physician
of the lepar settlement at Molokai,
narrowly escaped being dashed
down the pail road leading to Kau-
nakakai. Last Friday morning,
DR.. Oliver left the settlement to
meet the steamer Mokolii at Kau-
nakakai to come to Honolulu. He
rode his horse up the pail which
surrounds the leper settlement and
shuts it off from the rest of the out
side world. The pail extends al
most perpendicular to a height of
over 2000 feet. Winding to the top
of the mountain is a narrow trail.
This trail is barely wide enough in
places for a single horse to pass.
yet it is over this dangerous trail
that the kamaainas go up and
down with their pack animals.
DIR. Oliver stated to an ADvER-
TIsER reporter that he had gone
more than 1900 feet up, and had
passed most of the dangerous
places when his horse stepped on a
loose stone and instantly rolled
down the steep precipice to the
valley below. The horse was killed
long before it reached the base of |
the pail. DR.. Oliver by luck |
dropped on the trail when he fell. |
The doctor declares it was a most |
miraculous escape, which he can
scarcely account for.
A few weeks ago horse rolled
down the same trail and was killed. |
1t will be remembered that the ma
tive mail carrier and his horse were |
killed by being thrown off the same
pass several months ago. Notwith-
standing these fatal accidents, the
,oad is used daily by the kamaai-
las either upon or leading their
animals.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

Herbert H. Gowen has written 8
fourteen-page article on the rise
and decline Of the Hawaiian mon
archy, which has been published
in the Cosmopolitan magazine for
June. The article itself has not
vet reached here, but notices Of it
state that Mr.. Gowen makes kala-
kaua responsible for the overthrow
Of the late monarchy because he
lacked the resource, self-depend-
enee and vigor Of the former rulers
Of Hawaii. Kalakaua may have
been more or less to blame in ar
ranging conditions which have has
tened the event, but the late king
can hardly be held responsible fur
ther than this. The hand which
gave the fatal push that toppled the
monarchy was that of
Liliuokalani. Had the policy of
Kalakaua, of going so far and no
further, been followed by his sister
the monarchy might have stood
1nmolested for years, instead Of
lew brief months. However, it is
better so.
