A SAMPLE CAMPAIGN LIE.

The unkindest campaign he that has yet reached our ear is, that if Oates is elected, |, ladies of color Will be denied the privilege of wearing ru files their petticoats .--Tuska- loosa Gazette.
 That is very fair sample of the lies that are doing duty in this campaign. Is's just as dignified aud elevated in tone, too, as a good many others. It is great deal more respectable than the lie that Governor Jones has stolen $500, 900 in the last four years. The petticoat lie is about as decent and honorable as the men who perpetrate it.

lice were aware OF Santos anarchistic ten
denotes, and upon one occasion searched
his lodgings and seized a number of in
cendiary pamphlets He was not then ar
rested, but was warned that IL he per-
sisted in the course he was pursuing he
would find himself in prison. His mother
and sister, fearful of what might become
Of him, begged him to Abandon anarch-
ism, and devote himself to his trade aud
harmless pleasures The warning Of the
police and the pleadings of his relatives,
however, had no effect. Santo appeared
to be infatuated with the idea of spread
ing the anarchist propaganda, and the po-
lice kept a watchful eye upon him.
Three months later he was detected in
company with number OF other anarch-
lists distributing anarchist literature to
the soldiers. For this offense he was ar
rested, tried, convicted and sentenced to
five years imprisonment. He escaped
from prison and fled to I4ugano. After
this his family heard nothing of him un-
til six months ago. when letter was re-
ceiyed from him announcing that he was
still seeking work.
The proprietor of bakery where Santo
had been employed for four years said he
knew little of him outside of the work he
was the author Of anarchist pamphlets.
He was, the baker declared, too ignorant
and uneducaicd to write anything. The
man admitted that he knew Sunto was in

WASHINGTON. June 26-The action OF
the senate in adopting resolutions of re-
greet at the assassination OF President
Carnot and in adiDurning on account of
the tragic event was not intended as n
formal and perfnnctory performance, or
as mere act of official politeness on tho
part of one country towards another but
as an expression of deep respect for the
memory of n man who by his virtues had
placed himself at the head of n nation to
which the United States is bound by
many ties of sympathy and affection.
This opinion is a summary of many ex-
pressions on the part of individual SEN
ators whose views were sought by rep
resentatlSes of the Associated Press.
There was no exception in the senate to
the general expression OF horror at the
method of President Carnot's death, of
profound sympathy for the French people
and of desire on the purt of this country
to make this feeling manifest by the most
significant act within tin power of the
senate. With the tariff bill almost COM
pleted aud the country clam0ring for
final action the loss Of n days time was
matter of no small Importance, but there
was no division of sentiment on the part
Vi seHftt"rs hs W the PFupFlety ol lhe
course taken, and none suggested or
seemed to think Of suggesting any other
course.
Senators without exception expressed
deep personal feeling over the Lyons trng-
edy. aud the feeling was very general that
while 1t might prove difficult in the ex-
citement of the moment to find a man to
succeed to the presidency of the republic
who would combine in so eminent de-
gree the qualities of leader as did NJ.
Carnot, the French people would prove
equal to the emergency of maintaining
without break or jar their present excell-
ent system of representative government.
