The Southern excuse for such hor-
rible burnings as the one in Tyler,
Tex, is found in the striking words
from the dispatch: "He begged for
mercy, and it was meted out to him
just as he was merciful to the pure
and innocent woman whose soul he
sent to heaven at this hour yester-
day" There is grim tragedy, but not
a spirit of Christian forgiveness, in
these words.

Tt is good news that the Hon. Rob
ert r. Hit of Illinois, who has been a
very sick man since the adjournment
of Congress last March, is now gain
ing strength from day to day. Mr..
Hit is one of the men who will be
needed at Washington this coming
winter. His appointment to the chair
manship Of the foreign affairs COM
mittee is as much matter of course
as Mr.. Reeds return to the speaker
ship, and that committee is likely to
have some pretty important matters
to consider.

State elections will be held next
Tuesday in Massachusetts, Ohio, Mary
land, New Jersey, Kentucky, Missis-
sippi, Iowa, Utah, Nebraska, New
York, Pennsylvania and Virginia The
eight states first named will elect
governors, and the results in all will
be watched with more than usual in
terest because it will be assumed that
they indicate to some degree the drift
of events for 1896. Although New
York does not elect a governor pub
lie interest will largely center there
OH account of the Importance of New
York in the presidential canvass, and
because Of the desperate fight which
Tammany is making to recover it's
power in New York city. There is
little doubt OF the success of the Re-
publican ticket in the state, and the
legislature will almost certainly be
Republican. In the city, while the
reform forces have been badly han
died in many respects the hope OF
saving the city from returning to
Tammany control lies in the success
of the Fusion ticket, and the Tamma-
ny leaders are much less confident OF
success than before registration clos
ed last Saturday.

The receipts of internal revenue for
the first three months of the current
fiscal year were S37, ,774, ,478, a decrease
as compared with the corresponding g
months of last year of $50, 800, $50.
This large decrease is accounted for,
however, by the decrease in revenue
derived from spirits. During July
and August last year an immense
amount of liquor was taken out OF
bond owing to the increased tax on
whiskey which went into effect Aug.

Neither Christianity nor good gov
ernment can survive the loss of the
sabbath. There can be no public
morality without morality in individ-
ual hearts and lives, and proper keep
ing Of the sabbath is absolutely es-
sential in character building. All the
foundation fails when this corner
stone fails. IF we do not keep the
sabbath holy we shall have no sab
bath to keep, and nothing else worth
keeping.

TWO KNIGHTyILLE PRISONERS.
Each Charged With Serious
Crime.

| Willis Bryant Charged With b burglary and
Assault-Their Side of the Story as
Stated By Them.
Last evening Constable Cushman OF
Knightville brought to the police station
for safe keeping John Watson of Cape
Elizabeth, arrested on charge of at
tempted criminal assault upon the person
of Nellie Brown, who is aged about
twenty six years: also Constable Place OF
hnightvllle, brought to the police station
Willis Bryant, charged with the burglary
of the Knightville apothecary store and
Matthews grain store, that occurred
week ago last Wednesday.
These two men were seen in the police
station last evening. Watson is a large
blonde, good looking young man and
twenty seven years of age.
| He declared that his trouble was all
due to his own brother. He came from
Nova Scotia ten years ago. and has been
working at the Cape. Recently he has
been in the employ of Horace G. Jordan.
He said that he had been keeping COM
pany for some years with this Nellie
Browns sister Amy, but that finally
they were separated by the opposition of
her family.
Last spring his brother who is about
twenty three years old and who lived
then in Portland, N. s., and who is
married and has children, wrote to him
for chance 10 get work. He found him
q Job with A. G. Hannaford for $50 a
month and the brother came on here and
went to work, leaving his family in
Nova Scotia. He soon began to pay
particular attention to this Nellie Brown,
so Watson declares, and when he, the
older brother, received letters from the
wife in Nova Scotia that she and the chill
dren were destitute, he expostulated with
the younger brother.
The other day he was driving load OF
hay when he met his brother and Nellie.
The brother left her before he got up to
them. He said to Nellie that she ought
not to go with that man, as she did,
since he had wife and children who
were destitute.
|
that he had insulted her and that she'd
have him arrested. Watson says that
Constable Cushman told him that she
went home and told her parents that he
dragged her off into the woods and at
tempted to criminally assault her.
| He declares that this is not So Such
is Watson's story.
The other man. Bryant, declared that
he was innocent OF the robbery with
which he is charged. He is a tall, we'll
built man, about thirty years of age. He
said that he had been working in Scar
boro, for Miss Mary Il. Morse, and that
| she and George Morse and Howard
Skillings and Roy Skillings, will all
testify that he was with them at the time
that the robbery occurred. He said that
he gave himself up to Constable Place,
because there had been so much suspicion
directed at him that he thought it best
to. He declared that he would swear on
the Bible that he was not guilty.
