LEFT HIM HELPLESS IN A PIT.-Some
time ago there was moonshincr case
before Commissioner Hamilton, of Dial
ton, Ca, and Will Roper was called
upon TO testify. a few days after that
a warning was sent him, signed by the
skull and crossboncs of the whitecars,
telling him to leave the country at once
or he was doomed man. On Monday
night of last week five men called at
his house and ordered him out. He
was bound and gagged. The put him
on mule and started out for Cohutta
Mountain. On one side Of the mount
ain several deep pits have been dug by
men prospecting for copper veins.
It was at one OF these pits that the
gang hated with Roper. After making
him pray and sing they began to whip
him. Each man took his turn, and by
the time the fifth had finished, Roper's
back was bleeding. He was lying on
the ground almost dead. Then they
went OF little distance and each one
tried his craftsmanship at Roper. Four
shots were fred, but only three struck
him. One bullet lodged in his head
another shattered his arm, and the third
grazed his leg.
All of the men thought he was dead,
and they cast him into pit. There he
remained from Monday night until
Saturday afternoon, when one of the
farmers of the Heighborhood, passing
by, heard his groans and pulled him
out.
Roper regained consciousness next
day, and from that time until taken out
he had not slept. If it had not been
for little grass Which was growing at
the bottom of the pit and sn old log
which had fallen down there, he Woutc
not have lived. The log was rotten
aud little moisture had soaked into
it. This quepched his thirst to some
extent.

TUE Theory OF GRAVITY DISPUTED
Robert Stevenson, member of the Academy OF
Sciences iii lecture before that body in San
Francisco, Monday evening declared that the
true cause Of gravity had at last been dis
covered. Newton's theory ofccntripetal force
Is proven to be simply dclusion as completes
rs the Ptolcmaic deusion of the motion Of the
heavens. The lecturer said that the facts
have been for several months in the hands of
Lord Kelvin. President Of the of the Royal
Society. According to this new law any
weight whatever if it receives horizontal We.
locity near the surface of the earth equal to
1886 feet per second, would never fall TO the
earth and if u disk of any weight DO rotated
free in horizontal plane with resultant vc-
locity or momentum of velocity equal to
] ,036 feet per second, the disk would lose all
its weight; so that the construction OF flying
machines is only a question of engineering,
skill and capital.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, June p
SENATE.


The following Senate bills were pass
ed: Authorizing commission to draft
a code of laws for the district of Alaska;
TO promote the efficiency Of the naval
militia authorizing the Secretary. of
the Navy to loan temporarily to any
State a naval vessel not in use and not
necessary for public purposes, with her
apparel, charts, books, etc, for use only
by the regular naval militia of the
State) to define the boundaries of the
three judicial districts in Alabama and
to regulate the jurisdiction of the
United States courts therein.
The tariff bill was taken up-the
pending question being on the income
tax sections OK to GD.
Mr. Hill addressed the Senate in
o, position to the tax. He read
his speech from typewriter sheets
very slowly and in somewhat
solemn tones and manner. Close
attention was given to the speech on
the democratic side of the chamber,
particularly by the two New Jersey
Senators, Mcpherson and Smith, while
republican Senators, with very few ex-
options, seemed to take little or no in
terest in it. Among Mr.. Hills most
attentive listeners on the floor of the
Senate were the three populist Sena-
tors, Allen, Kyle and PETER. The gal
leries contained quite large audience.
Mr.. Hill declined to allow Interrupt
tons, stating his intention to take part
in the discussion of the various amend
ments. 1t took Mr.. Hill just q hours
to read his speech, closing at LOO p. m.
1t was well understood, he said in con-
clusion, that Senators intended to vote
on the income tax section, not accord
ing to their convictions, but according
to the decree of party caucus. He
trusted that such a humiliating specta-
Gle would not he witnessed. 1t was
even boosted by some, he said, that the
income tax was the best feature of the
tariff bill. If that were so, then he
could only say, in the emphatic Ian
guage of the Senator from New Jersey
(Mr. Smith), God help the democratic
party" The true statement of the case
was that populistic votes were preferred
to democratic votes. He felt little per-
sonal interest in the result He was
getting used to defeat in the Senate,
and another defeat was q matter of SUI
preme Indifference to him. But he
would be false to his country, false to
his party and false to himself if
h did not raise his warning voice
and announce to his fellow demo,
Gratis and to the country at large his
conscientious and mature conviction on
this important subject i'll such great
crisis of the country's and the party's
history.
Mr.. Higgins followed with a speech
against the income tax.

Northern republican South-haters, in its
opposition to the proposed light tax on

Now THAT some of the members OF
the next Congress have been elected,
and many others been nominated, and
yet no tariff bill been passed, it is posi-
Bile that the idea may sometimes cross
the Presidents mind that it would have
been better both for himself and his
party if he had called an extra session
of Congress Immediately after his in
augura.ion, as he was advised to do by
1nanv of the wiser democrats Of the
country. Had Congress met in March,
1898, low tariff bill would have been
passed so long ago that the people
by this time would have experienced
its beneficial effects, and been so thank
ful TO the democratic party for passing
it that there would be no danger Of
that party's defeat in the early f. .

CHEAPER TO PAY.

No seat, no fare is failure in Massa-
chusetts at all events according TO a
decision rendered in the Superior Court
in Boston yesterday. A gentleman got
on crowded train on the Old Colony
road and refused to pay fare unless he
secured a seat, rendering his ticket on
these conditions. He rode as far as Hyde
Park before securing seat and paid his
fare from thence to his destination. The
road brought suit to recover 10 cents,
the fare to Hyde Park, and interest. A
verdict of II cents was rendered in favor
of the road. The case may 60 to the
Supreme Court if the gentleman who
insists on seat when he rides in the
cars, cares to expend the money neces-
sary. In the meantime it is cheaper to
pay your fare than be sued by railroad
in Massachusetts,.

WILL MAKE THEIR OWN SPEECHES

A big meeting of workingmen was ad-
dressed at fremont Hail. Roxbury, last
night by we'll known labor orator
who declared that IL tree be judged by
its fruit, then the unprecedented pros
perity of the country up to 1892
stands as proof of the value of
the protective tariff. The speak
er reviewed the condition of
the country under Republican rule and
then pointed to the awful change since
Cleveland's hand took the helm. He
reviewed the ante-election pledges of
the Democracy and said: "They promised
you shorter hours. You got them
all right. They are SO short you can
not see them with microscope" and
the audience evidently agreed with
him for they applauded heartily.
He declared that there is more labor
legislation in the Republican State of
MASSACHUSETTS, than in all the Southern
States, and he denounced the free traders
for their attempt to kill the Northern
industries.
"a regular stump Speech" says some
Democratic reader. Exactly, and one
Of the kind that carries converts
with it. 1t is time that the
laboring man began the making of
stump speeches. Hitherto he has lis
tened to the glowing promises of the free
trader in admiring silence and been
seduced into voting for the principles
that he now sees mean ruin for him
self ana his employer. The past
year has taught the Northern work
ingman lesson, and now he
proposes if there is any speech making
to do his share of it aud to vote as he
talks. This is the significance of the
meeting last night, which is one out of
thousands that are being held daily all
over the North.

A MAGNIFICENT ENTERPRISE.

In these times of depression and fore
bodings, ii is with peculiar gratifica-
tion that THE News records the early
starting-up of the great engineering
plant that bears the name of Corliss,
under conditions which insure its
maintenance among the splendid indus
tries of the country. The organization
of the Corliss Steam Engine Company,
the story OF which is told in another
column, is a matter of public conse-
quence. The works built up by the
eminent engineer have, in the past. con-
trbuted largely to the prestige
OF our city and State in
the industrial world and that the de-
signs of their founder are neither to be
abandoned nor diverted is something 10
rejoice over. The new organization
is qualified in an extraordinary
degree for taking mp aud
developing the work which Corliss es-
tablished, and in every feature OF
plant, prestige and management
the Corliss Steam Engine Company
gives assurance of future which shall
be of the highest import to the COM
munity.

LIGHT NEEDED.

On every side and from papers of all
shades of political belief come words of
condemnation for the star chamber
investigation into the sugar trust scandal
by Congress. Tom Reeds paper, the
Portland Press, well says that Secrecy
will be certain to ere ate the impression
that something is being held back and
that the whole story has not been told"
The investigation is into dark and
disgraceful secret, the charges being
preferred by reputable people, and the
investigation should not be made ms
secret as the alleged crime itself. If
wrong has been done let the light in on
1t. There is no need of secrecy. There
is every need OF, publicity. Turn the

An Interesting Communication Upon
Republican Rule"

To THE EDITOR OF TIE NEWS:
sIR-The extraordinary, not to say hu-
morous spectacle OF so-calIed
Republican" appealing through the
columns OF Democratic newspaper
for reformation" of the politics Of the
stalwart Republican town Of Grams
answer s0. 'ss% snd q. RspablcaD sa tor who, an
when go into party caucus and have
had my say, believe that ought to
stand by the action Of the majority
OF that caucus, want to use o little space
in the columns Of THE NEWS, toe recog-
mixed leading Repu blicsn newspaper OF
the State to say word.
The Republican town caucus last Hatur-
day was largely attended and with prac-
tical unanimity put up . party ticket
OF town officers. There was but one
little ripple on the otherwise smooth sur
face OF the proceedings and that was caus-
ed by an ex-boss Of the town who be-
cause he hasn't always been allowed to
have his own way declares that he
won't play. Accordingly he talks
such stuff and sets himself up 10 q 'sre-
former" Unfortunately for him the only
ring in evidence in Cranston ID the
ring OF the people. The town is
Republican by large majority and the
people are In the habit Of endorsing the
VI VIC hcpuOllCHu C8ucuS. All
Republicans are expected to attend these
caucuses and participate in the proceedings
but because FIVE so-called Republicans
were opposed in Saturdays caucus to the
action OF the majority the leader of the
five wants to cut the ticket under the
guise of reform" To my mind reforma-
tion, like charity, would better begin at
home.
Right here would like to say word
about Mr.. Lester A. Freeman, Republican
candidate for school committee. Mr..
Freeman is not we'll known because
he is new conner In town and
his opponents have referred to him as a
"carpet bagger." Well, he 10 the kind OF a
carpet bsgger the town is fortunate
in having for a resident and every
body who knows him can but esteem
him. Cranston will give Q warm
welcome to all such who come to
live within her borders. He Is cminently
qualified for school committeeman
as he has had Q wide experience
with schools, having been teacher
and superintendent himself, be-
lieve. His election will be q good
thing for the schools Of the town and he
wants and should have the full Republi-
can support and all the other votes that,
irrespective Of party, are looking to the
best interests OF the town.

there is little wonder they want to wipe
away even the slight barrier that remains
in the share of the commissioners.
There is not department where the

fact that it puts the Democracy on
