Ex-Governor Lowry and Con-
gresham Money, who speak here
tomorrow, are able, conscientious
gentlemen and brilliant speakers
We presume the free coinage OF
silver will be their leading theme,
both of them favoring it. They
are both equally above any dema-
sosic claptrap and We know they
will state their side of the case &C
cording as they see it. After
taking, as they will, the common
ground on which all Southern
Democrats stand-that the demon
citation Of silver by the leading
nations was great crime, pro-
ductivc of much evil-wc trust
that they will elucidate from their
standpoint the two points on which
our people are most in doubt,
namely, low the United States
can sustain the independent free
coinage of silver at ratio of 10 to
1 and how such coinage would
benefit the people of the South,
who own no silver mines.

SELLING LEAF TOBACCO.

More or less interest has been
manifested IN various sections Of
the county over the subject of to.
bacco culture and THE STAR has
frequently been asked what is the
law governing the sale of to-
bacco by the producer, under what
circumstances the revenue tax had
to be paid, etc. In order to get
at the facts we recently wrote to
Hon, J. J. Carter, of New Orleans,
Internal Revenue Collector for this
district; and we received the fol.
lowing reply:
New Orleans, La, April 10, 1895
Messrs. Johnson & Johnson,
Kosciusko, Miss.
GENrLEMEN:-In reply to your
letter Of the 9th inst, | beg to in
form you that producers Of tobac-
CO can under the law sell the same

manufacturers. regular leaf tobac-
co dealers. or persons who buy on.
ly for export. That is, they can
sell their leaf tobacco as such
without any manipulation or man
ufacture of same, but if they
should in any manner manipulate
or put it in position as manufac-
tured tobacco, they will be re.
quired to qualify as tobacco manu-
facturers aud pay the tax of six
cents per pound.

The regulation recently adopted
by the trustees of the kosciusko
public school requiring all who
are selected as teachers for next
year to attend the summer normal
at Oxford in June, is something
out of the'ordinary; but we believe
the idea is good one. In these
progressive days the science of
teaching is advancing as much as
any other branch Of knowledge,
and in order to get the best results
all schools should require their
teachers to keep up with the gen
eral progress. That is what the
summer normals were instituted
for.

A brutal ANnir.

Tho brutal assault committed yestcr.
day morning, at the Panhandle station
in this city, by striking Glaaworkers
from Martins Ferry, upon a dcienseloss
man who was enroute to St. C~lairsville
in answer to q summons from court to
act as witness against indicted strikers,
was one OF tho most cowardly affairs
that ever occurred in this community.
It 10 o case that calls for prompt. nc.
ton on the part Of the authorities.
There is no p~a!liasion for tho crime,
for crime It was. The victim OF the as.
saul. was obeying the order OF u court
and was going peacsably about his bus
mess. He had been assured by strikers
that no would not be interisrcd with
and was u%nprepared for an attack.
When he arrived in Whesling he wa,
set upon BY a number OF men and
brutally beaten. narrowly escaping with
his life, while his assailants escaped to
the other side OF the river.
The merits OF the issue between the
strikers and the non-union men who
have taken their places at the Buckeye
works have nothing to do with tho mat
tel. An outrage agains, the law, which
10 made to protect peaceable citizens
from violence, has been committed, and
public sentiment will not sustain the
deed, no matter what grievance, fancied
or real, the union men may have against
the men who have taken their posi-
tions. The ISrELLIGEScsR does not be-
iievel that this act OF violence is en-.
dorsed by law.abidin: labor men, who
believe in a peaceable and manly way
OF settling their disputes. A resort to
violence never yet won a strike, aud al
fairs like that OF yesterday arc con.
demned by c~ool.beaded. honeit union
mon, as we'll as by all who sympathize
with them.
The authorities should make a rigid
Investigation OF the outrage and, il
possible. bring to justice the perpetra.
tors.

When the President notified Congress
that ten days would be given in which
that body could take action that would
ave the country $1,000 900. by passing
a bond bill, i. was thought by many
that some move would be made to meet
the question. bu. SO far it seems that
nothing is to DO done. Tho response.
biIity lies with tho clement in Congress
that is determined TO obstruct every
proposition tor relief that docs not make
n comploto surrender to the free coinage
faction. It ia no wonder that the pco-
PIC arc out OF patience.
The New York Tribune reflects tho
exasnerated state of public ~opinion
when it says: It is particularly unfor-
tunate tina. this Congress. closes its per-
formancc with a failure in duty so dis
graceful. 1t was hard TO bear, tho
people thought, whom the Congress dc.
iIbera,ely gave away 10 per cent OF tho
value OF imports by reduction Of duties,
making a present OF apou; SO. 900, 900 to
foreign manufacturers and traders. 1t
was dishonorablo enough that Congress
voted SIG, 0O0.0 900 to tho augar ring and
Sl2, 0 900 to tho whisky trust. But its
refusal to vote for the protection oil the
national credit involved n gilt OF about
SIC, 900, 900 to tho foreign and American
bankers who undertook 10 provide
meana for the government in its ncces.
sites. and the people may well say that
it Ia a little too much.
At this juncture. when those charged
with tho responsibility to deal with the
altuation iail OF thoir duty, it seema
that tho Republicans should take tho
mattcr in hand and come 10 tho reliei oil
those Democrats who show a dosiro to
maintain tho integrity Of the nation,
and pass a bond bill. Par,isansliip
should not atand in tho way. Perhaps
the Republicans can present some huch
bill as that OF Mr.. Sherman or Mr.. Reed
that will meet tho emergency and ro-
ceive tho support OF tho sound money

Tho Whisky Trust Scandal,

Startling exposures made In Chicago
Saturday before United statca Judge

has, eve since Its formation ak years
ago, been II Of tho most vicious organ.
i~zations In the country. 1t, record has
boon n sorios Of defs Of legislation, con.
grossional INJURY aud tho courts from
tho utart, aud It has stopped to tho most
corrupt methods to accomplish its ends.
Tho trust was organized In 1890 with
a capital stock Of s35.OOo, 900, and 1t worry
soon doyelopcd that tho principal OBJ.
icct OF Its managers was TO mako OF 1t q
vast atock.iobbing concern. As Is do.
scribcd by ono oil It's historians, "lcglti-
mate business operations wore only a
secondary object, and quotations on
tho stock wore mado to luc,uato Us the
designing officials dictated" An ond
was bound to como to tho conspiracy,
however, and now the chief conspira.
tors havo run up against n United
Statos court, whore there Ia n some.
what sensational struggle between the
management aud the rights Of the
stockholders.
The Chicago Times briefly sums up
the status Of the case rs iollows: Tho
president OF the company, who since Its
birth had boon Its guide, surroptitiously
threw i. into court undor peculiar cir.
cumstanccs, apparently to avoid an i'm.
pending investigation. Without their
authority or knowledge no caused two
persons, ono n minor and neither II
stakeholder, to BIO mado plaintiffs in q
friendly suit to wind up his company.
He entered the latter's appearance and
Immediately procured his own appoint
mont as receiver, Mt n time when he
confessed to have been $4,000 shares
short Of the stock. This was evidently
done to p%erpetuate under tho protec-
ton OF tho court. 4 power the abuse OF
which seems to have brought his trust
to a abrupt end.
Greeuhrt was not only bounced from
tho receivcrship by Judge Grosscup,
but he must now answer to what the
counsel for the stockholders terms a
"villainous. malicious, infamous con.
tempt Of court" and a rule has been
issued against him, and very serious
consequences for him are pretty surc to
follow.
The incident calls attention to tho
lari.y of the law which permits the up.
pointment Of an officer Of an insolvent
company to its r%eceivership. A law
prohibiting such n thing would be a
protection to stockholders against dis.
honest managers.
