The Iberia Lynching.

prise we make the following con-
densation of its account of the lynch
ing of last Monday week. WI will
add that from all accounts District
Attorney Breussard will make it
very interesting for the people who
in broad, open day light, at high
noon, inyisibly entered the Jail, hung
a prisoner and were actually M.
seen q,
On Saturday night last an at,
tempt was made By a lynching party
to lynch q negro named Vance Nc
Clure for an alleged assault upon a
white woman, said to have been
made one week prior. However,
the officers of the law succeeded in
arresting the mon before the mob
could get him and he was safely
lodged in Jail, where he remained
uatil Monday noon, when o mob
composed of about one dozen indi-
Viduais, qnietly assembled in the
vicinity OF the jail. and while the
occupants Of the sherif's office were
at dinner, under pretext that the
Jail was on fire, some of the mem
bers OF the mob obtained the keys
of the Jail, which yer in the sher-
ifs Office, from tae eolored janitoF.
About the time the man was thought
to be dead, an alarm Of FIRE was
sounded aud hundreds of people
congregated, and it was soon dis.
covered that the mob had accom-.
plished its purpose. The Coroner
was summoned, an inquest held and
a verdict rendered by the jury that
Mcclure was hung by persons un>
known.
Tuesday passed of quietly, but on
Wednesday morning runners were
set a1oat that the negroes had held
q meeting the night previous at
which threats Of vengeance against
the whites were made, This was
generally ~discredited, az it was evi-
dent that the negroes were 10 per-
feet dread and fear, caused by Mon.
days occurrence. However, a few
persons, as a measure OF precaution,
held a conference and notified Mayor
oftheir desire to patrol the
that night. and asked his sane
ton. The Mayor agreed to this.
About The same time, however, the
rumor became current that ii was
intention Of eertain white men
to raid a negro saloon that night.
They had barely reached their
homes when the FIRE alarm was
sounded and the town thrown into

announcement that the negroes were

Fallen Women and Men.

Isn't it strange that we hear 80
much about fallen women, and not
word about fallen men? Plow-
share and Pruning Hook, a Chicago
publication which deals fearlessly
with moral and social questions,
speaking on this subject, says;
What about the fallen men? Ev-
cry woman of the outcast class I'M
plies many fallen men. How are
these men to be reached by reforma-
tory influences? Why does not the
Social Purity League take up their
caseY Where are these men! Why,
they are in all ranks of society; IN
every calling we may find them.
We transact business with them
daily; they fill our political offices;
they teach our children they edit
our papers they make our laws
they are eloquent at the bar and in
the pulpit; they sit on the judges
bench. And the sad thing about
their case is that they are igno
rant of the fact that they are fallen
They go blindly on, with nc
realization of their true condition
The women of the outcast class
know their degradation and sufiel
in that knowledge, but the men whf
have been their partners in inlqultI
are more to be pitied in that they DC
not know.-Progressive Farmer.

Now that the election is over,
Cleveland shows his hand as the
willing tool of the money power by
proposing the issue of another block
of Understanding bonds. Such
policy should, and will, damn his
party for another twenty-five years.
Press.
Oh 1! Ha! ha! Where did Cleve-
land get his authority to issue bonds?
Who, pray, passed the law? Why
don't your party run an injunction
on the secretary and stop the issue,
and at least help the Knights of La
Dor that much? Here is where the
power was conferred: Authority
to issue per cent bonds was con-
ferred upon the secretary OF the
treasury by an act of congress pass
ed January IA, 1875. The author
ity has been exercised but twice,
the first time in 1879 and the last in
February of this year. When Sec
rotary Carlisle issued $5O,OoO,OO OF
bonds last February, the gold re-
serve was below $7O,OO0,OOO. Now
the Republican party passed said
law, and would be issuing the same
as Carlisle in like circumstances.
The Peoples party have charged all
along that it would be so whether
Harrison or Cleveland occupied the
presidential chair. 1t is the de-
mand of the 4 1000 bondholders, and
they have the two old parties mag
netized with a gold magnet that
draws them together in congress,
and hence whichever is in, the 9TH
er would cry stop thief, when their
votes in congress condemn both.
Oh! when will the people unite to

silver and Legal Tender.
To the Progressive Farmer.


Is the standard silver dollar a le-
gal tender for debts to greater
amount than IS? Mrs. Todd, in
her book, Pizarro and John Sherman,
says the law of 1873 took from it
the legal tender except to the
amount of S.. Please answer in the
next issue of the P. +. to settle a
dispute. F.C.
The coinage of silver dollars was
stopped by the act of 1878. The
act of 1873 destroyed the legal ten
der quality of the dollars previous
ly coined, except to the amount OF
So. This was an act of infamy sell
dom paralleled, and it is passed over
entirely too lightly. The silver
dollar had not only been a legal ten
der for any amount, but it had been
the standard of value, the unit OF
debt, since the act of April 2, 1872.
1t had been sent out by by the gov
eminent and received by the people
as such. The change, therefore,
made by these two acts, that OF 1878
stopping the coinage OF the silver
dollar and making the gold dollar
the unit of value, and that OF 1874,
limiting the legal tender power OF
the dollars already coined, was an
act of bad faith such as governments
seldom commit, and was a personal
wrong to each owner of silver dol
lar, and to each one who had to ex'
change anything of value for sill
yer dollar.
The Bland act of 1878 restored
the legal tender quality to the silver
dollar, and this part of that act has
not been repealed. So the standard
silver dollar is a full legal tender,
but it is the policy of the treasury
department to treat it the same as
legal tender paper money, an obi

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

An accident occurred in Center
vile, Monday, which caused the
death of an old citizen by the name
of Campbell, and came near ending
the earthly career of another man.
Mr.. Campbell went to the saw
mill, and, while there, engaged in
conversation with the sawyer, who
was engaged in filing the saw. AS
he talked, he leaned up against the
saw. The engineer concluded to
pump some water while the other
was filing the saw, and started the
saw, supposing, of course, that the
band had been removed from the saw.
The band had not been removed,
however, and the saw was put in
motion. The file was jerked from
the hands of the sawyer, and he mar
rowly escaped falling upon the saw.
In fact, his clothes were partially
torn from him. Mr.. Campbell, how
ever, was thrown upon the saw, and
his head severed from his body.
We are informed that the enginee1

sane since the accident, but do not
know how true the report is.

the Republicans drove the last

year ago, and a woman who
knows, if she knows anything at

has been defeated in Kansas by

it is defeated. If. the vote wal
