Execution of an Indian.

EUFAULA, l. T., Feb. 26.-Jos. Dick,
q full-blooded Creek Indian, was shot
to death ten miles west ofhere Saturday
for the murder of another Indian
named Grey. Both men were in love
with the same girl. The sheriff placed
a small box against q tree and returned
to the Jail and beckoned to the prison
er to follow him. Dick Strengthened
himself up and leisurely strolled out to
the place of execution. He took a seat
upon the box, and, this proving I'M
steady, he arose and jammed it down
solidly and then again sat upon it as
coolly as though he were taking his
seat to be photographed. A red hand
kerchief was tied over his eyes and a
piece of white paper pinned over his
heart. Not q muscle of his face or
hands moved. Two of the guards took
position twenty-five feet distant and
both fired at the spot, killing Dick in
Stantly.

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. 2e, 1894.

GRAND MASTER SOVEREIGN says the
knights of labor of the United States
are about to start a campaign having
forts object the removal of the negroes
from this country and their colon
ization liz the Congo basin or some
other part-of Africa. So many negroes
have gone North since they were eman-
cipated that their competition with the
white labor o fthat section has seriously
interfered with and deprived the latter
of a great deal of employment, so that
the move referred to is by no means
surprising, especially in view OF the
natural antagonism of the races. 1t is
hard for white men of different nation
alties to work together on terms OF
amity and equality almost impossible
for those of different races to do so, for
any considerable period. But there are
negro knights. Are they to be de-
ported also, along with the rest OF their
kith and kin? Mr.. Sovereign also
saws This is the first time the flag Of
treason has Aoated over the US. Treas
ury," and that he, Sovereign, twill VIC
late a mandate of the Us court just as
sure as there is a God in heaven"
What he means by the ''hag of treason
is unknown, and therefore can not be
commented upon; but if he shall dis
obey the mandate of a court, as he
threatens to do, he should be brought
to taw in short order. AS long as law
shall exist, it must be observed.

Mr.. Elder being thrown down by the

about $35 in money fled.

THE appointment ex-senator White,
of Louisiana, to a seat on the Supreme
Bench is objected to in the North on
the ground that such distinction and
importance should not be bestowed
upon one WHO attempted to overthrow
the Governments In the first place,
Mr.. White, nor anybody else, ever at
tempted to "overthow the U. S. gov
ernment.' The southern States, hay
inc good cause to believe that their
constitutional rights could not be sc
cured under that government, tried to
relieve themselves Of it by secession;
bat it never entered their. heads to
overthrow it.. On the contrary, they
had many friends in the North, and, II
they had succeeded, they would have
desired that the U. S. government
should grow and prosper and be neigh
borly. In the second, the war has
been over twenty-nine years, and nm
nesty has been granted TO every man
who took part in it; and if ex-Confed-
crates are good enough to be sent to
Congress to make the laws, they
should certainly be good enough to
interpret them. And besides, if all the
republican Presidents since the war
have deemed ex-Confederates patriotic
enough to Bc members of their Cabi-
nets. no reasonable objection can be
made to two of them holding seats IN a
court of nine members.
