FRENUERGAST EXECUTED.

After delay all too long and trying
in every possible way TO defeat the
ends OF justice which he 50 richly
merted, Patrick Eugene Prendergast,
the cowardly and cold blooded
murderer of Mayor Garter Harrison,
Of Chicago, was executed last Friday.
He hoped against hope and after
seeking every loop hole and taking
advantage Of every technically in the
law by means of which to go un-
punished of his terrible crime, he
expected to be finally pardoned by
the Governor, but for once Altgeld
did a sensible and proper thing and
refused to interfere with the course Of
the law. The hanging Of Prendergast
was vindication Of the law and a
triumph of Justice. For while it was
feared that the spirit of anarchy which
has heen dangerously rampant in the
city of Chicago Of late, and which has
found exponents in men who ought to
be leaders in a better cause, would
serve to save this miserable assassin
from the punishment he SO justly
deserved. But reason seems to be
resuming her sway, and the law was
finally permitted to take its course.

What is Beauty? "QuestiOn of

says that it is "dynamite' in her article
which opens the interesting pages of the

fascinating subject, and, and Mrs. Sher-
woods discussion is an especially inter-
esting one. That the July Cosmopolitan
is a midsummer number is shown in
many directions Three short stosies,
including one sport and adventure, two
travel articles, and other light matter
make up 12S pages OF charming summer

The July Cosmopolitan marks the close
OF the first year since the revolutionary
announcement was made that the price
OF that magazine, already low, had been
cut to one-half OF three dollars a year
All sorts OF predictions have come to be
unfulfilled during the year-it would be
impossible to maintain the rate-the
size would be decreased. But even severe
critics admit that with each succeeding
number there has been a betterment in
the quality OF articles and illustrations,
and the size has remained unchanged,
except the always growing advertising
pages. The magazine printed, for the
six months embraced in Volume XVI,
one million four hundred and nineteen
thousand copies. an entirely unapprOach-
ed record, and has doubled its already
large plant OF presses and binding ma
chinery. The walls OF the magazines s

NED NUTBUSH WRITES
AGAIN.
He Talks About Politics and
Measures of Reform.

NJ 6aSur0S OF 601OrIn.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF What is the
meaning Of reform: 1t is to change
from bad to good, to right wrong, to
correct abuses whenever found. Mr..
of representatives. owe their present
positions to the reform movement in
augurated by the people themselves.
During the late campaign, these re-
formers eloquently discussed the issues
that were then before the people.
Pledges were made to carry out to the
letter the principles of the Chicago
platform, and the people in turn eX-
pect these pledges to be fulfilled, but
how hard is it for those who hold such
positions to honestly sympathize with
those who toll from sunrise to sunset
chopping cotton, wedding corn, worm
ing tobacco, mauling rails, cording
wood, in cold and heat, sunshine and
storm at 40 cents to IS cents per day,
and taxed to pay their representatives
who receive large salaries every year,
arrayed in fine raiment and living
sumptuously. The toilers make sacr-
fees, should not their representatives
do the same? Years ago when the
country was prosperous, money abun-
dant, when farmers received fair prices
for the products, Congress increased the
Presidential office from twenty-five to
fifty thousand dollars and the members
voting themselves five thousand dollars
yearly, this was patriotic in the ex-
treme. In the late campaign the re-
formers, very zealously advocated re-
trenchment in all departments of gov
ernment. Now an oppor tunity is
offered to test their sincerity and patri-
otism, and to show their faith by their
works Each member of the Senate
and House receives over thirteen dollars
per day, while hundreds Of their con-
stituents do not receive more than 40
to IS cents per day, should not these
Senators and representatives be willing
to make sacrifices by submitting to a
reduction of their salaries as well as
their toiling constituents? At the
time of increase of salaries the people
were better able to pay $4,000 than
they are able to pay $4,000 now.
Now should any of the patriotic re-
formers object to reduction, the people
are supreme, and have it in their power
to dispense with their services, and
place others in their stead, who are
equally as competent and patriotic who
would gladly serve the people in the
Senate and House for $4,000 yearly.
Let this be the key note of reform, re-
ducton Of salaries Of federal office
holders in all departments of govern
ment, from the President down to q
81, 200 office, and in future, before
any Senator is nominated in the
legislature, or any representative in
convention make each pledge himself
to support such a measure, when
introduced in congress. Now who in
the Senate or House has the grit or
moral courage to face the music, and
Introduce such resoiution-looking
! to such reduction Is there one in
Congress? We fear not. By reduc-
ton of salaries of Office holders under
the government, millions would be
saved, and the treasury would present
a very different aspect from what it
does at present.
Very respectfully,
NED NUTBUSH.

CLEVELAND AND SILVER.

The President declares he is not an
enemy to silver and says his course has
been with the one object in view OF
forcing its recognition by foreign
nations. He contends that we can
not afford to undertake to carry it
alone, that disaster must inevitably
come upon this country by the
adoption of such a policy. The fol
lowing remarks OF Congressman John
w. Maddox, OF Georgia, in which he
tells OF recent conversation he had
with President Cleveland on this
subject, will be interesting reading to
many:
"Well, Maddox said the Presi-
dent, how is everything down in old
Georgia. l suppose they are all cuss-
ing me down there"
Yes ~ replied MADDOX, "they do
not like your financial policy"
81 know that, Maddox said the
President, - but they are not a bit
more anxious tor silver than | am.
But it won't do now. | tell you that
unless ! am badly mistaken we will
have the crowned heads of Europe at
our feet and asking for our terms
before two years are gone
Commenting on this the New Berne
./oa,naI says:
We have no doubt the President
said all this. This writer knows Mr.
Maddox, and no man IN Georgia
stands higher for veracity, and every
| element that enters into the character
of a gentleman.
Mr.. Cleveland has opposed the
further coinage OF silver because The
commercial world will not recognize
it as money, but here is a clear in.
timation of his intention to force its
recognition. and then there vii, be no
difficulty in the way OF its coinage.
If the President is successful in this
undertaking his popularity will be I'M
bounded, and he will retire from the
Presidential Office amid the applauding
shouts OF a redeemed and prosperous
people.

OFFICE SEEKER AND THE NEWS.
PAPERS.

We commend the action of Judge
Armield and Mr.. L.. &. Caldwell of
placing their announcement cards IN
the papers throughout the District.
The newspapers during a campaign
are always called OH to do an immense
amount of work for which they receive
no pay, and they should receive all
the Legitimate compensation to which
.hey are entitled. Let the other
candidates in the District follow the
example set by Judge Armfield and
Mr.. Caldwell.-Concord Times.
But the precedents are SO strong
against the practice that we hardly
look for reform. The politicians are
= dead agin' the newspapers getting
anything out of them for their time
and trouble expended in 4 campaign.
Yet the newspaper man IS expected to
simulate an enthusiasm he can not
possibly feel for the politician and let
his business and income go in order
that he may boom the latter for Office.
-Reidsvile Reulev.
Well, who blames the politicians
As long as the newspapers allow them.
selves to be ridden free-to be made
public carriers of all the eulogistic
communications and tafyistic editorials
Of candidates for Office simply for dear
party's sake-just SO long will they
continue to go without reward or even
thanks for .heir services. The fact is
editors are generally too free with the
use OF space, time and labor in boost
ing every fellow who wants Office into
place and prominence for their OWL
good.
