is found on some lonely road with q
bullet through him and his pockets
stripped we call it cracker killing.
They're killers all of them, those fel.
lows, but they'd rather do their killing
from safe cover. AS long as its only
! cracker that kills cracker nobody cares
and nothing is done about it. When a
cracker kills decent man ne does 1t In
such a way that he leaves no tracks,
He'll wait for years for his chance. So
there isn't much chance for the law to
come in there, either. In two of the
Northern South Carolina counties,
Lancaster and Chesterfield, they aver.
age about thirty murders year togeth-
er, and you can bet a cracker Is the
murderer every time. Yet there hasn't
been a hanging in either county for fif-
teen years. It's either cracker kill
cracker, and nobody cares. or it's a
cracker killing, with respectable vic
tim and nc clue to the killer.
"There was a case couple of years
ago up in Lancaster County. A promi
nent man Of some means up there ran
across two drunken crackers who had
come in town on a bat one evening.
They were in front Of the postofice.
One of them slapped him on the shoul-
der and said with maudlin laugh:
"How arey' Judge? Are y reckonin'
to find US some lickerT
"The Judge, who was very dignifi-
ed man, drew himself up, shook
the crackers hand from his shoulder,
and started on, when the other cracker
stepI red in front of him with an ugly
look.
"You can't shake US off so easy
said he. Were as good as you now,
an you can't call it high on US. You
sin't any too good yourself
"'You're drunken rufflan, eX.
claimed the Judge, pushing the man
aside. Pass on or I'll have you locked
up
"'Not by a damn sight, shouted the
cracker. Ill fix you,' and drawing a
knife he lunged at the Judge, but miss
ed him.
INSTANTLY he was covered by a dozen
revolyers in the hands of a crowd
who were at the postofice and who had
seen the whole thing. They would
have tarred and feathered those crack
ers but for the Judge begging them off.
Ten months later the Judge had oc-
casion to drive to neighboring town.
His buggy and horse came back with
out him. We found him dead In the
road at the edge of the woods. A
charge of buckshot had struck him IN
the back of the head. We couldn't
lind those two crackers to lynch them.
That was cracker killing, and It's
only one of many.
"Those are the men that make up
the strength of tho Tillmanite party.
They're the Populist. Tillman makes
them constables and gives them guns,
and they're just longing for murder.
They are the liquor spies that co.Ae to
search Our homes and to shoot Us down
if We objrct. Can you wonderthat the
people OF Darlington fired on these off
spring of criminal conVicts and pirates,
these scum of the country, these worth
less, treacherous, murder0us crackers?
AS long as Tlllman uses them as dogs

Gov. Nelson, we congratulate you.

shows that Populism, with the princi-

to be crushed, and that if Republic

THE PEOPLE SUPREME.

That the people will eventually
crush the wrong is plainly seen in the
overthrow of Tammany in New York
city. AS enunciated in the Declare
ton of Independence they will for
long time suffer train of abuses and
usurpations, but they will eventually
rise in mass, throw aside the party
despotism and ties and cast their bal
lots for the right. Tammany has been
overthrown. The. herd of place hold
ers who have revelled in spoil and fat
tened upon the money of the tax-pay-
ers of New York city are to be swept
from the face of that city. The era of
theft and robbery, the criminal extor-
tons from polluted diye-keepers,
abortionists, hell-holes, and every kind
of dens of vice, for the purpose of sue
cessfully building up a political gang
of organized thieves, is at an end. The
police bench is to be cleansed of the
profigate and depraved creatures who
have contaminated the fountains of
justice, debasing and defiling and
polluting everything with which it
comes into contact. The work of
Mayor-elect Strong, the Republican
Reform candidate, is no easy task, but
he is said to be a man for the task, and
with Republican governor and leg
islature the reform will undoubtedly
be carried out.
In New York State the people have
rebuked the theft of the legislature
and the stealing of a United States
SenatorialIseat by Senator Hill. He
has been defeated by nearly 10000
plurality. lit was Fan awful rebuke to

REGRETS.

Amid all the rays of success in the
Republicans carrying the Minnesota
legislature by an overwhelming ma
jority there are two elections to be re-
GREETED. The election of Ed. Reishus,
Pop, over Charles g. Whitney, in the
Marshall district,and of Henry Kellar,
Dem, over D. w. Bruckart in the St.
Cloud district, are two deplorable
facts. A newspaper man must make
enemies in order to conduct live
newspaper and push his locality. He
must keep things stirred up, and in
stirring things up he is going to strike
some one every week. This is what
Whitney has done. He has done more
with his paper in building up the
southwestern section than any other
man, and yet when he seeks for an
election to some high Office, the peo-
pie turn their backs on him, and re-
ject his services. 1t is ungrateful, Mr..
Whitney can bear defeat, and rest as
sured that his friends outside of the
district are more numerous than ever.
In the St. Cloud district it was a fight
between the pernicious practice and
wild statements of Senator Kellar on
the floor of the Senate against decen-
cy. The St. Cloud district is strong
ly Democratic, and Kellar seems to
have the machine. Mr.. Bruckart, who
is one of the brightest men in the
State, and who stood so gallantly by
organized labor at the time of the
Great Northern strike,is turned down,
but only temporarily. Such men as
Mr.. Bruckart will always rise.

HELPED THE LORD.

The people have come up to the help
of the Lord against the mighty, and
the principles propounded by the ex-
ponents of Democracy have been bur-
led so deep that not even the most
enthusiastic supporter of those prlncl-
pies will attempt to resurrect them. 1t
is not the voice of sections, but it is
the voice of the entire people from the
north and the south, from the east
and the west. that the principles OF
free trade for the benefit of the for
eicn manufacturer and against Amer
lean industries, are no longer to be
tolerated in this country. Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Georg-
la and Alabama, have joined with
their Northern sisters in proclaiming
Americanism, and that American in
dustries and American labor must
live.
The vote speaks with no uncertain
sound. Never in the history of this
country has such an upheaval oc-
Cured against the legislation of any
party having all branches of govern
ment under it's control. Both branch
es of Congress, which are at present
under Democratic control, will after
the 4th of March next, be in control of
the Republican party-the party Of
protection and reciprocity. Already
the joyful note of prosperity is sound
ed by this truth-that the tariff will
not go any further Democratic, and
that it may be improved during the
next two years. The wheels of Eastern
manufacturers have been put in mo-
ton to run full time, and employees
all along the line are being notified
that an increase of wages is soon to
be in order. Money loaners are TAX
ing out their gold from its hiding
places and placing it on the market
at an easy rate of interest. Confidence
is restored. Business is reyiving, and
all because Republication has tri.
umphed at the polls. What that par
ty can do in the face of the opposi.
ton Of the Democratic President re-
mains to be seen, but Que thing is GER
tain, and that is that no more free
trade legislation will be set in motion
