An Inquiry as to the Consistency of a
Councilman Practioing Law without n
License.
To THE EDITOR OF TIE TIMEs:-In
these stringent times, when our City
Council authorizes our treasurer to
make refund of five per cent. on all
city taxes for 1898 that may be paid in
money between March and Nav l,
1894, is 1t proper or consistent for a
councilman to practice the profession
OF law without license? This inquiry
is based upon the following facts
This forenoon prominent council
man, who is not lawyer, was seen in
earnest conversation with Country
cousin" at the passenger station, and
his ardent zeal, indicated by his loud
tone OF voice, established the fact that
this city scion had been approached by
the unfortunate countryman for legal
advice as to a divorce Case contem-
plated by the aforemention. d country
man. The opinion given, after lengthy
and careful examination and exhaus
tive cross.eXamination, showed that
this would be lawyer was making 1.-THE

ADVICE OF his able attorney, as in taking
the train when it was pulling out he
dived his hand into his trousers pocket
and producing five dollar bill rendered

remark, "Pardner, you certainly have a
level head and must have had lots of
cases like mine" by this time the sur
reptitious practitioner noticed that he
had been observed by a large audience
and declined the fec, telling his elated
client to put it in the plate at the next
meeting"
The blush on that city fathers face
just at this juncture was something won

chagrin he wheeled and started for JEFF

THE HATFIELD. MoooYs AGAIN.
Reports That the Feud Ha. Broken Out

Logan county citizens who arrived here
this morning state that the Hatfield
Mccoy feud, which teriorized that
vicinity few years ago, has broken
out afresh, with indications of blood
times ahead
The renewal of the trouble was
brought about by visit of Frank
Phelps, Of kentucky, leader of the Nc
Coy faction in the old teud, to Peters
Crock, and learned while there that
Bob Hatfield, son o! old Anse, lived in
the neighhorhood.
Phelps WAS shot in the shoulder dur
ing tho formcr fight and always claimed
that Bob did the shooting. Last week
Phelps laid in ambush armed with
Winchester, and as Bob came along
shot him dead. Moso Christian,
prominent member Of the old Hatfield
faction, attempted I assist Bob, when
Phelps fired again, @ounding him NOR

Phelps, who had 81 ven of the old Nc.

The Death of an Engineer.
BY +. J.. WITT.


Friends give not up your noble purpose,
Cling to it good and strong;
For after the hard and wel-fOught battle
VIII come the victor's song.
1t may be u stranger whose journeys ended,
A friend or anclghbor, and then tits one
For whom we'd give our life could they tarry;
For what Is lifo to us when theirs are doneY
Ten forty-nne on scheduled time,
Scarcely n minute latc
Around the curve his engine comes
At quite fearful rate.
We watch tho headlight through the gloom,
Break like the dawn OF day
a roar, q flash, and then the train
In mas OF destruction lay.
A rock from the eide OF the mountain
Fell upon the track that night
And lay i'll II curve OF tho railroad,
Hidden from the engineers sight.
A rock had fallen to the track
From tho side OF tho mountain,high,
Aud turned the engine upon its back
And caused the engineer to.die.
The rock was only small one,
But enough TO do its work
Jacob Hardy and his fireman
We're the unfoitunatce who were hurt.
The men of his division
Were anxious to carcss,
After he had lost his life that night,
The form that had gone to rest.
We feel quite sad for the widowed heart
That we know In grief is aching;
For the loss of Its best and dearest part
In anguish keeps 1t breaking.
Look up, sad heart, from the new-made grave
Which you beat in your desolation;
LOOK up to Him who has power to save
And who oneretus al salvatip>f, ssr.

The tariff bill is now before the
Senate, but its consideration goes over
until April 2. There is apparently no
desire or intention upon the part of the
members of that body to hurry it along
to vote, but tho usual Senatorial
courtesy" now SO unpopular with every
Aputside of that branch of Congress,
~ probably be conformed with. In
the meantime the business of the
country will have to revive as best
1t can without the knowledge
of just what the outcome of
the tariff legislation will be. The
ono feature of the bill which is OBJ
noxious to many of the Northern and
Eastern Democrats is the income tax
provision. We trust it will be dropped
before 1t drags the whole measure down
or prolongs to an unwarranted extent
the debate upon the bill. 1t is the one
Populist suggestion which has been in
corporattd, but it may provo to be a
bad proviso which, while bidding for
outside votes, will discourage votes from
among it's own friends

been deluged with bouquets, or smoth-
cred with perfumed misslves of SYM
pathy and affection. Fratricides, with
their garments yet dripping with the
blood of their unprotected victims,
have been lionized by autograph
hunters or rendered ovations by weak
kneed male sisters Of misplaced mercy.
Only the other day an evidence was
presented OF this, when the car which
took the hired homicide, "Bat' Shea,
from Troy to Dannemora, was surround
ed by weeping sentimentalists who,
we are told, "waved hats and handker-
chiefs to Shea, in the last good bye,
with many murmured messages OF
sympathy and cheer"
The writer Of these lines is not at all
certain in his own mind that hanging
or shocking a man to death will cure
murder. He is beginning to entertain
doubts of the efficacy of capital pun
ishment. But, doubts or no doubts, he
has no use for the soldering sentimen-
tality that idolizes brutes of the lowest
bipedal type; and it is no doubt this
lachrymose tendency in the opposition
to the death penalty that has spurred
the New York constitutional reformers
to sit down heavily upon the proposed
change.

Dishonest Southern chsvaliers.

OlSIlOUGSl SOulHCIu SIIbNdlIGTSs
It is a good thing for the Democratic
chevaliers that representation in con-
gress is not based on industrial import
ance, else the fifteen southern states
which now wag the Democratic dog
would cast less than 32 votes altogether
in senate and house, instead Of the 12G
votes now cast by them in the house
and the 30 votes In the senate, We
base this estimate upon the statement
made by Galusha A. Grow at Easton
the other day that these fifteen states
have capital invested in manufacturing
and mechanical pursuits to the amount
of $4,000, 600, while the state of Penn.
sylvania alone has $9l9 100000. Penn.
sylvania, in 1890, had paid in wages
S305, 100000 and the fifteen southern
states only $2SS, 100000. The valuation
of the production in those states was
81 ,202, 100000, while Pennsylvania
products amounted in value to $685.
OOO,OOO,OOO.
We do not allude to this industrial
supremacy of our own commonwealth
in a boastful or exultant spirit. The
industrial poverty of the South has
been occasioned by causes which
would, under corresponding circum.
stances, have devasted other sections,

east, west or north. Upon the eve, as
1t Is, ofa new era Of development and
enrichment, We should not wish to see
30 much Us a single straw laid in the
South's pathway, to impede It's revivi-
fication. The intelligent people OF the
north, without exception, rejoice with
their Southern fellow citizens in every
new indication that comes to them of
increasing thrift and wealth; and
would willingly aid that progress by
all honorable means, both through
private investment and wise national
legislation.
At the same time the circumstance
of these southern states that possess a
mere fraction of the industries OF the
country and yet smaller percentage
of the loyal and intelligent citizenship
ofthe country, exercising congressional
domination over the entire north and
west, and using that unfair apportion-
ment of power, not to upbuild the in
dustries of the country in any section,
not even within their own borders, but
using it to cripple aud strike down
those industries, in spirit of deter
minationIw which looks suspieiously like
malevoence, is too anamalous to be
passed over. 1t is u condition of affairs
which should fill every thoughtful citi-
zen, Democrat or Republican, with ap-
prehension and alarm. If the Repub-
lican party shall be so fortunate as to
be again entrusted with the RESPONSE
bic control OF American legislation, we
hope to see it address itself seriously to
the correction Of these glaring inequali-
ties in southern congressional repre-
sentatlon; and not repeat its criminal
blunder Of running in cowardice away
from that duty.

only natural. The reformers and the
fearful philanthroplsts have none but
themselves to blame.

there been such uncalled-for mawkish-

ward Washington with apetition from
the unsavory eX-queen to her "great
and good friend" President Cleveland,
begging him not to recognize the re-
publican government which has been
erected on the ruins of her despotism.
We sincerely trust that this is not
true.
The approach of such an embassy to
Washington, in this warm summer
time, would under any circumstances
be q subject for indignant protest
There is already an abundance of
malOdorous scandal, shame and cor
I
ruption in the capital Of these United
States, without the addition thereto of
o foreign subject which combines
grievous public error with shocking
individual filth. But for one thing,
the authorities Of the district of Column
bia would be morally justified in halt
ing the calvacade OF baffled imperial
lists as they halted that other squad
of unwashed igDeramuses who fol-
lowed "General' Coxey; and subject
ing them to fumigation and quaran-
tine.
That one barrier is the huulliating
fact that their unwelcome approach
has been logically invited by the un-
patriotic and obstinate course of the
president Of the United States. He,
and he alone, has brought this intlic-
ton upon us. He, and he alone, should
meet and avert it, He should tell the
notorious Parker and his fellow ENJOYS
that when he, as chief executive, made
the promise of material assistance to
the bloodthirsty Liliuokalani, and rat
flied it to the full extent of his ability
by the recall of Minister Stevens, the
hauling down of the American flag,
the dispatch of Paramount Commits
sioner Blount and the later appoint
ment of the intriguing Willis, charged
with mission of perfidy and double
dealing; he acted without warrant Of
law and without authority in fact.
He should confess frankly that he has
been "calied down" by the American
people and by the American senate,
and that, much to his humiliation and
the country's satisfaction, the infamous
"dealo is "of."
If this doesn't stop them, then turn
on the hose.
