KILLED BY MOONSHINERS.-A trag-
edy growing out of the seizure of an
illicit distillery occurred in Smythe
county recently, and is now being IN
vestigated by the United States inter
nal revenue authorities. A man named
Woods was the proprietor of the dis
tillery, which was discovered and cap
tured several days ago by Deputy
Marshal Rosenbaum. The officer placed
the still in the charge of w. T. Darcy.
and when the case came up for hearing
before United States Commissioner
Williams at Marion, Darcy gave in
damaging testimony. A few nights
afterwards crowd of ten or fifteen
men appeared at Darcey's house and
demanded the still of him. In the row
that followed Darcy was shot and
killed. The United States district at
torney has been notified of the occur
renee, and a special deputy has been
sent to Smythe county to inquire into
the circumstances of Darcey's death.
A despatch dated Bristol, Sept. 21st
says
James Darcy. a merchant at White
Top Mountain, Virginia, was called to
his door and shot by unknown parties
Wednesday night. Darcy was sus-
pected of giving information to revenue
officers in regard to the location of
illicit distillers on the mountain which
resulted in the arrest of a moonshiner
named Woods. 1t is believed the
murder was committed by friends OF
Woods"

DEMOCRATIC PRosPECTs.-Captain
Ham Sheppard, whose opinion is en-
titled to credit, is of the belief that all
the Democratic candidates for Con
gress in this State will be elected. He
is not alone in this opinion, for there
are many others who entertain the
same. This opinion did not prevail a
month ago, but the prospects of the
Democrats are growing brighter day
by day. The people are being aroused
to the necessity of Democratic success
for the protection of their rights and
interests. and will not consent to put
themselves under the unjust and OPP
pressive rule of the Republican party
that taxes the many for the benefit OF
the few,

Bishop Keane-Mgr. SatOlli-The Pope

Bishop keane-Mgr. Sat0lll-Ine rope
Bishop Keane, Rector of the Catholic
University at Washington, who went
to Rome to see the Pope with refer
ence to that university, has returned.
He reports the Pope to be in good
health and strong for a man of his ad-
vanced age. He approves of the plans
of Bishop Keane in the control of the
university. He impressed the Bishop
''as a man of the most liberal and
tolerant ideas on religious and secular
matters, and that he look to the United
States to take the lead in solving the
economic and social questions of the
day by the force of moral power.
Monslgnor Satolli is to continue fo1
some time at least the Apostolic Dele.
gate of the Pope in the United States,
when no one but the Pope himself
knows. Mgr. Satolli represents the
views of the Pope on all the leading
questions affecting the Church in this
country, and the Pope reposes the
utmost confidence in him. The Pope
will soon issue an encyclical in which
he will define clearly the position OF
the Legation in this country and will
greatly increase its dignity and i'm.
portance. He will raise it to supreme
tribunal from which there will be nc
appeal on questions of canon law. The
Pope realizes that the great problems
of the future must depend for theil
solution upon Democratic and moi
Monarchical governments, and hence
he looks to the United States and
France with hope.

READ AND HEED.

The Wilmington IN. c. Messenger
makes the following strong points
which the people should read and heed:
Do lot forget that the Cleveland ad-
ministration upon retiring 4th March,
1885, left quite $100,000,000 of surplus
in the United States treasury.
Do not forget that President Harri
son, Republican, and his incapable
gang of officials, managed to scatter
and waste this great surplus in two OF
three years of bad government and un
faithful service.
Do not forget that the Harrison ad
| ministration squandered the surplus
and other great sums raised by taxa
ton upon sugar bounty, subsidies to
steam shipping lines, upon outrageous
| frauds in pensions, ir multiplication Of
offices beyond all known examples.
Do not forget that the Harrison ad
ministration increa sed the taxation up
on the people by hundreds of millions
of dollars under the vile, oppressive
robber tariff law
Do not forget that the Harrison gang
ran up the expenditures to more than
thousand million dollars in two years
This was six times as much as the Blu
chanan Democratic administration re-
quired for the some length of time.
Do not forget that before Harrison
went out of office his Secretary of Treas
ury, Foster, gave notice that there
would not be enough money in the
treasury to cover expenses.
Do not forget, for it is true, that I'M
der Harrison's most baleful, oppressive
four years term that the public reve
nues had steadily reduced. In 1890,
they amounted to $4O3, 900; 1891. they
were $392,00O,OO0; in 1892 they had
dropped to 1854, 600, 900.
Do not forget that the financial panic
began in the Harrison administration.
1t was the hard times, the evil results
of Republic misrulc, the bad legisla-
ton, the waste, the profiigacy that
caused the great political revulsion and
sent tidal wave for the Democracy
over the country.
Do not forget as Senator Daniel, of
Virginia, states in recent speech, that
Gin 1890 the Republican party had
passed two acts, which will never be
forgotten-the Mckinley bill, which
disordered commerce and manufac
lures, and the Sherman silver purchase
bill, which at the same time disord1red
our finances"
Do not forget that the Republicans
paid 1852, ia "a in bounty to beet grow
ers in few Western States
Do not forget that the Republican
tariff gave $40, 900, 900 or more to Louisi
ana sugar-makers in bounty.
Do not forget that the Republican
protection tariff tax upon wooden goods
of all kinds was from go to 100 per cent
an actual average of nearly 500 ta1
on every 800 worth of goods.
Do not forget that under the new
tariff bill (Democratic) the rate of TAI
is from 30 to so per cent an average OF
$40 on every 800 worth of imported
goods. These are the Morrison esti
mates.

The Ne.g Election Law.

The Fredericksburg Star gives the
following synopsis of the Walton cleo
tion law in reference to the construc
ton of booths and the preparation of
ballots by the voters:-
Section provides that it shall be
tine duty of the Electoral Boards to
provide at each of the voting places in
their respective counties and cities a
small compartment or booth, large
enough to contain and conceal from
general observation a voter, and a
desk or other convenience for writing
1t shall contain pen and ink and shall
be SO erected that a person standing in
it shall be wholly excluded from the
observ alton of the clerks, judges of
election aud other persons. The said
board, in its discretion, may have one
or more booths at voting places.
Section 10 provides that except the
judges and clerks, no person other
than the elector offering to vote. shall
be within forty feet of the ballot box
Section II explains the manner in
which ballots are prepared by voters
all names to be scratched except the
candidates that the voter intends to
vote for.
Section 10 makes it unlawful for an
elector to carry the official ballot fur
nished him further than the voting
booth and should he conclude not to
vote he must Immediately return the
ballot to the judge of election. No
one, other than the constable, is per-
mitted to assist an elector in preparing
his ballot, under penalty of fine of
not less than $500 nor more than
81 900.
Section 10 provides that not more
than two and a half minutes be allowed
voter in preparing his ballot.
Section Is provides that the Elec-
toral Board of each county or city
shall appoint for each voting precinct
therein one special constable, who

of said precinct and shall be able to
read and write, and who shall be a
conservator of the peace. In addition
to his other duties he is authorized to
assist persons in preparing their bal

Death Dealing Cyclone in the North
West

A cyclone passed over parts of Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin last Friday
evening, doing great damage to prop
erty and killing and injuring a great
many people. A Fort Dodge special
says: ''Five or six persons were killed
at Manley Junction by the cyclone,
nine at Grafton and seven at Algota
and Emmettsburg. The storm swept
from Worth to Pala Alto counties"
The town of Lowther, % miles north
of Elma, Iowa, was destroyed Three
persons were killed and seven wounded.
The loss to that town and vicinity
amounts to 100000.
Cresco, Iowa, was destroyed. The
wind left a clean track behind it,
taking everything within it's reach.
North of Mason City, Iowa, eight
farm houses were destroyed and a
number of persons killed.
At Leroy, Minnesota, large part OF
the town was destroyed by wind and
fire and a number killed.
At Dodge Centre, Mimi. a ware
house was scattered, and several barns
and outbuildings were blown down.
At Spring Valley, Mimi. large
number were killed and injured.
Twenty-six persons are reported
killed in Kossuth county, Iowa, and
thirty-nine injured, some fatally, while
the greater part of the town of Cyclin-
der, twenty miles west, was badly
damaged by the storm which swept
over that section OF the country
North of Cyclinder, the family of
Alix Goulden, four in number, was
killed.
At Whittemore Robert Stephenson
was killed and his wife fatally hurt.
At Burt, Iowa, ten were killed and
twelve wounded.
Near Usage, Iowa, five were killed
and many others injured, who will
probably die.
In the wide sweep of this terrific
'cyclone, as many places have not been
heard from. no estimate can be made
of the loss of life and property as yet.
1t was terrible. We should be CRATE
full that our State is free from the
visitations of such death-dealing and
property destroying cyclones.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-The advocates
of woman suffrage maintain that il
would elevate and purify politics. On
this subject, Mrs. Lease, of Kansas,
herself a woman suffragist, says =
''All this talk that the women will
improve the politics of the State is
foolishness. We are no better and nc
worse than men. Women will call
each other liars on the platform just
like men They will ride on passes
just like men. You will find the worst
set of cat-scratching cut Threats among
women that you can find anywhere
The woman suffragists should DROP
that plan and simply demand thai
they shall not be Disseminated
against"

PROHIBITION CANDIDATE IN THF
BIRD DIsTRICT.-At the Prohibition
Convention Saturday in Richmond
Geo. B. Jones was nominated for Con
gress.
The Richmond correspondent of the
ecAppealsays =
"This was the first prohibition meet
ing Mr.. Jones ever attended, and he
had not the remotest idea of being put
up for Congress when he entered the
room. He is a young drummer and is
quite a prominent Odd-Fellow. This
district claims the honor of being the
only one in the country with Knight
of the Grip running for office on the
cold water ticket"

AsTwooD's ADDREss.-H. G. e. Asst
wood, colored, ex-consul to San Do
mingo, made an address Monday night
of last week at Wesley Chapel, Wash
ington. He took issue with Ida Wells
in her attacks on the South on account
of lynchings. He said, among other
things, that so long as colored men
failed to restrain their passions and as.
saulted white women so long will the
vengeance of fathers and brothers FIND
vent in lynchings. He believed that
the only practical remedy is to be
found in the colored men to educate
themselves to such all extent as to
make such outrages impossible.

BENEFIT OF FREE WOOL-The New
York Herald says that when the Will
son bill making raw woods free of duty
became a law last month American
manufacturers of woollens gained far
more than if Mr.. Wilson had given
them the highest Mckinley duties on
their finished products. The woollen
mills have sprung into unwonted ac-
tiVity. giving employment to many
thousands, simply because Mr.. Wilson
has enabled them to get the fine woods
of Argentina and Africa and all other
raw woods free. They can now manu-
facture advantageously and cheaply
many grades of cloths which hitherto
the tariff made it impossible for Ameri-
cans to attempt. OF course consumers
as well as manufacturers and labor
will profit immensely by the change
This is only one of many ways in
which the Wilson bill will prove vast
boon to manufactures and labor. Now
let the good work of giving the country
free raw materials go on.
THE BODY OF A SUICIDE FOUND.-On
Monday of last week, near Sour Creek,
Prince William county, the dead body
of man was found. Investigation
proved that he had committed suicide,
the ball from a 32-caliber revolver hav-
ing penetrated the temple. Papers in
his pocket proved the man to be II.
MacMayo, of Tennallytown, Md. Notes
were found on his person giving direc-
tions for burial and requesting that his
wife be notified.

United States Senators by the People

United States Senators by the People.
In the Democratic Convention in
Columbus, Ohio, ON last Wednesday, a
resolution declaring in favor of electing
q. s. Senators by the people was
adopted by vote of 467 to 1898.
"This," says the Baltimore Sun, sis
regarded as equivalent to an indirect
censure of Senator Brice. An effort
was made to give greater point to this
censure by providing that the State
convention of 1895 should name can
didate for United States Senator to re-
ceive the support of the democratic
members of the Legislature to be
thereafter elected. This was elimi-
mated, and to this extent Mr.. Brice is
regarded as having been 'vindicated."
This question of electing U. s. Sena-
tors by direct vote of the people in
stead of by the Legislatures of the
States as the Constitution provides, is
not, and should not be, a party ques-
ton. 1t is one of great importance
and should be considered on it's merits
without reference to party. 1t is a
question for statesmen and not mere
politicians to determine.

Wool AND WHEAT.-The Baltimore
San says that in the American market
the outlook for domestic wool and the
wool industry generally has been more
hopeful since the new tariff went into
effect. The advance here also dis
proves all the theories of protectionists
in this regard and shows that the tariff
ON wool was no more a benefit to
farmers than the tariff on wheat. The
Mckinley tariff on wheat was 25 cents
a bushel, and wheat went down under
it to a lower figure than ever was
known.

JAPANESE VICTORIES.-On Satur.
day and Sunday of last week the Japa-
nese gained a great victory over the
Chinese on land at Ping Yang in Corea,
and about the same time another on sea
battle on land the japanese outnum
bered the Chinese three to one which
enabled them to surround and capture
most of the Chinese engaged. The
naval fight was one of the greatest
ever fought and the Chinese vessels
suffered most injury.

JAILED FOR WIFE BEATING. Rich

was committed to Jail last Thursday
for beating his wife. He claimed that

per square, Court day, whilst the
Tucker Ost discussion was in progress
in the court house yard, the tinsmith
approached the farmer and told him
that he found he could put on the roof
at from Toe. to 81 per square less. The
Wilson-Gorman bill had become law

saved is money made. Other things
beside the farmers products are now
