A WOMAN LYNCHED
In Nebraska BY a Supposed
Gang of Thieves.

Mrs. w. Z. HoIton, of Keyapaha
county. Neb., was found dead in her
house last week by neighbors. She
had been lynched. Her body was
lying on the floor. with piece of rope
about 10 feet long and Ratchet and
hammer beside her. The Coroner
was summoned, and an autopsy show
ed that she had died of strangulation,
and had also been assaulted.
The woman was living alone, as her
husband had been sent to the insane
asylum. II was supposed that the
motive of the lynchers was to prevent
the woman from giving testimony
against cattle rustlers, as she had
been summoned as a witness against
a gang of thieves in the county. She
mad borne a good reputation. 1t
was evident that she had fought a
lard battle for her lite and honor, as
the bedding and clothing were torn
and scattered about the room.

The Right Step.

One hundred and ninety ne.
groes aboard the Danish steamship
Horsa, slowly sailed down the river
from Savannah on her long way to
Liberia on March 10. The emigrants
took large supply of necessary coloniz-
ing effects with them. They expend-
ed several thousand dollars in agri-
cultural implements, and are thor
oughly equipped for their new life
The Liberian Government will give
them lands. AS the steamship pulled
of from the wharf the ehigrants be-
gan singing farewell songs, which was
taken up by the negroes on land, and
as long as the mammoth boat was in
sight the melodious strains from the
Threats of the departing negroes could
be distinguished.

Senator Lindsay Not Yet Ready
for Work.

Says the Frankfort Capital: "Sen-
ator William Lindsay was at the
Court of Appeals but said he wasn't
yet at work; that he intended to spend
the next few days shaking hands. He
says that he is SO glad to find that the
people will shake hands with fellow
who was member of the last Con-
gress' that he can't get enough of it.
He sticks to his interview with the
Commercial Gezette correspondent
whom he told, when asked his opinion
of the last Congress, that he expected
the next Congress to give the last one
a good appearance"

GONcrnmenf Railroads.

Before the legislators OF this country
pass laws placing oil railroads under gov
eminent control they would do well to
study the subject and learn from the
experience OF other countries whether
such laws will tend towards the prosper
ity OF the people or towards the pit into
which so many short-lived plausible thep-
ries have been dumped after their short
comings had been exposed. The Popu-
lists favor such laws and declare TOT
them In their platforms. The Augusta
(Georgia) Chronicle has published the ex-
perience OF various countries In which
the experiment. has been tried. and has
not found one system superior or even
comparable to ours In the United states.
The Rio News reports as follows rela-
tive TO government ownership and ope-
ration Of railroads In Brazil. Read OF the
facts and profit by their teachings. We
quote
According TO a speech Of Senator Oiti-
cica in the Senate on the 18th ultimo, the

for the acquisition OF new material.
During these three years therefore.
1892 to 1894. the Central railway has cost
the country a total Of s%,sf.oco. includ-
ing special credits. which is largely
in excess OF the gross receipts OF those
years. II will be seen from this that the
great Central railway has become
source OF expense to the state. instead or
source Of revenue. The force OF en-
ployces has been more than doubled.
while. al the same time, the service has
become steadily worse. There Is insuo-

man AT its head. II is uncertain whether
the line can he again reduced TO a good

The People Not to Elect senator's.

In the United States Senate on Tuesday
last. Mr.. Gray. OF Delaware. fro> the
committee having charge Of the subject,
reported adversely on the joint resolution
from the House Of Representatives pro-
posing an amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution providing for the election Of SEN

This adverse report will not surprise
anybody who has kept himself posted as
10 the probable fate OF the joint resolution
above mentioned II has been only 4 few
GAYS since We reminded our readers that
Mr. Tucker. II a member Of that COM

However. that fact would not have been
entitled TO much consideration IL the
Senate had been a truly Democratic body
ready at all times TO stand up for the
rights Of the people. For the bill sub

providing FOR the lection Of United States

The New York MAYOR.

The Washington Post says that under
psthe power OF removal bill. which was
passed by the New York Legislature las,
week. and has since become a law by
the approval OF Governor Morton. Mayor
Etrong, OF the city OF New York. becomes
invested with an authority as absolute
as that OF the Gar OF Russia so far as
municipal removals and appointments are
concerned
This law may be a good one practi-
rany. but It is certainly one that does
not testify TO the ability OF the people to
govern themselves. The peculiar cir
rumstances which surround the people OF
New York State and New York city have
resulted IN the transformation Of their
State and city governments into new
kinds of government. The people Of
that State are not allowed to be repre-
scented In the Legislature on the basis Of
population. This fact makes It possible
for bill 10 pass the Legislature. az that
body Ii constituted. which could not pos
pibiy pass Legislature differently con-
stftuted.

Alabama in the senate.

Mess-s. Morgan and Pugh. the senators
from Alabama. in their protest against
Mr.. Aliens attempt 10 arraign thei'
State in the United States Senate, In
dictate in some sort what their opinion
is as to the power of Congress or either
house Of Congress In the premises. They
say:
Whatever attitude Congress may have
the power to impose upon a State OF
the Union. II cannot be asserted that
either house Of Congress. acting alone,
can decree that a state is in the Union.
or out OF it, according to its pleasure,
nor can an investigation be lawfully
made which has for its object such a
determination as TO the rights OF n
State. except under law of Congress
duly enacted and approved
There is no motion pending in the
Senate TO expel Alabama from the Union.
or her senators from this chamber. ard
the attack OF the Senator from Ne
braska upon that State is, therefore, a
merely gratuitous assault"
Two points are made here. The first
Is that nothing can be done in such cases
as the one attempted TO be forced upon
the attention OF the Senate by Mr. AL
len except under law Of Congress duly
enacted and approved. The inference is
necessarily drawn that action could be
lawfully and constitutionally taken II a
law were enacted authorizing such &C
ton TO be taken.
The second point is that Mr. Aliens
attack upon Alabama Is based upon no
motion TO expel Alabama from the Tn
ion. or her senators from the Senate cham
Der. and is, therefore. "a merely gratui-
tous assault 1t may be inferred from
this language that Messrs. Morgan and
Pugh concede the right of Congress to
expel Alabama from the Union, but do
not admit that such expulsion could law
fully be resorted to under such a condi-
ton of things as now obtains in that
body and in the country at large.
