NEGRO PREACHER LYNCHED.
Preached His Own Funeral Sermon Before
Mob of His Race Hanged Him.

Preached His Own Funeral Sermon Before
Mob of His Race Hanged Him.
PORTLAND, Ark, June 21.-The Rev.
Frank King. a negro preacher of local
celebrity, preached his own funeral
sermon here last night and then went
straight to glory, if his -mortem
testimony is good for anything.
King stood in the centre of a mob
composed of about one hundred and
fifty persons of his own race. Half a
dozen blazing pine knots threw lurid
glare oyer the crowd, which stood by
the side of the meeting house of which
King was the pastor.
According to the Rev. William Tony,
also colored, there had been an undue
intimacy between his wife and King.
The men met and quarrelled on Mon.
day. King shot Tony twice and ran
away. The wounded man, who is not
yet dead, was very popular with his
race, and an organized search for King
was made. He was caught and lodged
in Jail here, but the Jail was soon fore.
ed by friends of Tony. The victim
was taken to the door of his own
church and there permitted to talk
thirty minutes.
He took for his text the language of
the Saviour, Love your enemies, do
good to them that hate you and pray
for them that despitefully use you.''
He spoke twenty minutes, and at no
time begged for mercy. He seemed to
think that it was he who had the SUI
preme duty of the hour to perform,
and that was to forgive those who
were about to take his life. He pray
ed fervently for about eight minutes,
and then announced himself as ready.
The rope had already been placed
around his neck. One end of it was
thrown over cross piece of the frame
work on which bell is erected outside
the church, red handkerchief was
tied over his eyes, and he was lifted in
to wagon. The wagon was driven
from under him and he fell about three
feet. His neck was not broken. He
died hard, suffering intensely.

Against Free Coinage.

Secretary Carlisle in a speech at
Bowling Green, KY, laid down these
five propositions which he says cannot
be avoided by the advocates of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
81. There is not a free coinage
country in the world to day that is not
on a silver basis.
''2. There is not a gold-standard
country in tn world to day that does
not use silver money along with gold.
SO. There is not a silver standard
country in the world to day that uses
gold as money along with silver.
"a. There is not a silver standard
country in the world to day that has
more than one third of the circulation
per capita that the United States has.
''5. There is not silver standard
country in the world to day where the
laboring man receives fair pay for his
days work"

SOCIAL EQUALITY BOOMERANG
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of
June 21st, says =
people from New York here to day
say the social equality law passed by
the republican Legislature and ap-
proved by the republican Governor of
that State, and the use that is now be-
ing made of it by the negroes, will be
the means of giving the democrats one
hundred thousand majority there at

The SCHOOL-BOOK QUESTIoN.-When
the article in the Norfolk Pilot against
the American Book Company was pub
l1shed, it was suspected that a rival
Book Publishing Company was at the
bottom of it, and now the American
Book Company makes the charge
openly. In a circular dated June 10th,
referring to CHM & Co., they say
"a very scurrilous, anonymous pam
phlet against the American Book Com
pany, printed in several forms and edi-
tions, is known to have been circulat-
ed by the agents of CHM & Co., and a
vilifying, unsigned article in the Nor
folk Pilot of December %. 1894, is
known to have been prepared by an
agent and attorney of CHM & Co., and
the newspaper containing this article
to have been largely circulated by that
house."

The Alexandria Gazette saws -

'As anticipated, the national repub

declaration In favor of its last plat
form, which includes high tariff and

The profit of the South Carolina dis.

The profit of the South Carolina dis
pensaries from July, 1898, to April 80,
1895, a period OF 81 months, was $3.50, 2S7.
This sum goes 10 the state and was
earned under conditions which really
make it wonderful that SO large an
amount was covered into the treasury.
When it is considered that the dispen-
sary law is far FROM popular and that
there are hundreds, perhaps, thou
sands, of places il the state where
liquor is sold Illegally, it is surprising
that as much as $l60,2S should have
been earned. There is talk in other
states of adopting the South Carolina
system, or something similar to it.
While the principle of the law is good
and while there is no question that it
has to some extent decreased drunken
ness and crime. it is hardly probable
that the law will be extended to other
states, although something very much
like it is now being tried experimental
y in one or more counties in states
near South Carolina.-IndeGA appeal.

Free Coinage Of Silver.

In an article discussing the question
of the free coinage of silver, the N. Y
Journal Of Commerce says
'If the agitation for the free coinage
of silver were based on facts it would
yield to the demonstration that the
facts are against it. One by one the
assumptions which support the creed
of the ''bimetallists" have been shown
to be unsound. Experience has de
monstrated that the price of the great
agricultural staples of the world has
nothing to do with the depreciation oil
silver. They are selling at from 25 to
45 per cent more than they were si1
months ago, while silver still awaits
rehabilitation" and is quoted at 30l
pence per ounce. Wages advanced
during the years when silver was de-
Ginning, and they haye advanced again
while silver stays down. Instead oil
the scarcity of gold of which the silver
men talk, there is something like q
plethora of gold in the great European
repositories, and so far from the gold
mines of the world showing symptoms
of exhaustion, they yielded last year q
product whose magnitude is beyond
all precedent, and whose steady in
crease for long series OF years is as
certain as any of the most obvious
facts of industrial production. If there
is not metallic money enough to con
duct the commercial exchanges of the
world, it is curious that nobody except
the advocates of free silver has found
it out, for the rates charged for it's use
never were lower. and the volume oil
paper currency which might be issued
on it's security is greatly within nor
NAL limits, for the simple reason that
there is not enough demand for it.
But the silver agitation rises supe
rior to logic and to facts, and keeps up
it's imbecile demand for free coinage al
the ratio of sixteen to one as if not one
of its SO called principles had evel
been shown to be false and not one oil
its deductions had been declared I'm.
