They Visit the SchoOlmaster's House
and Shoot and Stab Him.

A special from Floyd Court House,
Virginia, gives an account of an attack
upon Mr.. Joseph Shccler by three Sui
phin boys who shot and stabbed the
former. II seems that the Sulphins
were once pupils OF Sheeler, who on
one occasion punished one Of them for
some wrong doing. The young men,
who are regarded IA pretty desperate,
went to Shecler's house and attacked
him with pistol and knife, inhicting
several painful wounds.
The schoolmaster managed to get a
note to the sheriff informing him OF
his condition, and begging that posse
be sent to his relief When the off.
GERS reached Shcelers school house,
which Is in the mountains of Floyd,
they discovered that the three Sui.
phlns had escaped.
They did not get away. however. be-
fore desperate fight took place.
Some Of the Schoomnster' neighbOrs
had surrounded the house and impris-
oncd the young men After sharp
fight two of the gang got of, leaving
the other on the field, who was taken
III charge by the deputy sheriff.

STATISTICS show that the negro
race has made marvellous progress
since the abolition Of slavery. 1t
now has in the United States 379
colleges and schools for higher
education, $40 of the l.l75 teachers
being colored. In the common
schools there are 1886 colored
teachers and l,46O,477 colored

WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW.

TIE chief stock in trade of the
Republican campaigners this year,
who dare not discuss either the
tariff or the currency question, is a
general indictment OF Democratic
rule in which the only thing of
weight is the specific allegation that
under Republican rule the country
fiourished like a green bay, while a
Democratic administration of affairs
produced industrial distress, COM
mercial failure. and a regular cata-
clysm- of business desolation and
misery. Like most of the Repub-
lican campaign statements this one
will not bear investigation. In
deed, the only reliable basis for any
statement of this kind proves very
conclusively that just the reverse is
true. The report of business fail
ures as given By Dun's Mercantile
Agency for the last ten years affords
little satisfaction to these brave
campaigners, who are afraid of
nothing but the truth. That report
is as follows:

inaugursted. Immediately times
improved. The barometer of bust
ness shows a falling off in failures
as well as in liabilities, and in 1887
the number OF failures had fallen
to 9,634; or 1884 fewer than in
Arthur's closing year.
In June, 1888, the Republican
national convention at Chicago
adopted the famous Mckinley re-
solution favoring prohibitive pro-
lection duties. The number of fail.
ures leaped up at once to 1869.
Harrison was elected, and one year
of his administration sent the num-
Der mp to 1882. Another year
and the numb.r went to TO-
907. The next, or 1891, the
number passed high-water mark
and reached 1928, and he closed
his administration with a year in
which the failures numbered TO-
34i, with liabilities at only $ll4,-
GA, l67-more than twice as many
failures as in 1873, with less than
half as great an amount in liabili-
ties. In other words, while the
average liability of 1873 was about
$500 showing that the small
business men were not largely re-
presented, the Republican policy,
faithfully carried out under Harri-
son, had resulted in reducing the
average liability to about Sli, 900
in 1922 fact which unerringly
points to the gradual elimination
from trade and industry of the in
dividual and their complete control
by multi-millionaires in the form
of trusts, combines, and syndicates.
March 4, 1893, Benjamin Harri-
son stepped down and out of the
presidency. The treasury ne had
found overlooking with a surplus
he left bare, with an actual deficit
for his successor to supply; he had
silver and discredited
the currency of the nation; his adj
ministration had fostered monopoly
and discouraged individual enter
prise. One month later the results
of his corrupt rule became apparent !
in the number of bank failures |
which occurred in April. By May / |
the condition had become critical
and from the 4th of May to the
18th of July, 1898, before the
administration had had
lime to do a thing, saUe TO try TO
merit impending disaster, nearly
B zoo, 900, 600 of individual deposits
had been withdrawn from national
banks alone, and failures occurred
IN every hand and in every line
he .lineal heritage of four years of
Republican misrule.
IF, from these figures, which are
the Republican party mana
gers can gather comfort they are at
liberty to use them in their cam
,aign addresses. But the less said
,y them about the business pros
,erity the better for their cause, for
we take the party's record

sThis vast increase was occasioned ny
the great number of bank failures in la43,
the liabilities Of which aggregated SzlO.-
998, SO8.
The record of the Republican
party during the years following
the war when its control of all de-
partments of the government was
undisputed and complete is q
shameful one in this regard. Who
can forget the dark days of 1873
a darkness which came on q clear
dsy when the skies of hope were
brightest? In 1873 there were
5,lS3 failures, with liabilities aggre-
eating 1928, 499, 900. Then dis
aster ran riot. In 1874 there were
$3.50 failures; 1875, 7,740; 1876,
9,O92; 1877, 1872, and in 1873,
lO.47Sl When it is remembered
that there. was little business done
and few failures in the south; that
the west was new and thinly popu-
lated, though full of enterprise and
rapidly growing, during all those
years, it will be seen that the ratio
of failures to population was much
higher even than that of the un-
precedented year of 1893, about
which the Republican orators pirate
with such affectation of virtuous
indignation.
In this connection it will be
noted that the 5,l83 failures of
1873 represented liabilities to the
amount of $22S, 1885, $40. The no.
47a failures of 1878 represented
liabilities amounting to 5 B., $685.
49,, or less than $4,000, 900 in ex-
cess of the liabilities of the 1873
failures. What does that mean? 1t
means that the whole trend of Re-
publican legislation then, as now,
sOas against the little feiio,os IN
trade and iadEstry, steadily fore
ing them to the wall in the interest
of the rich, and shows that the Re
publican party was then, as it is
now, the plant and corrupt tool OF
monopoly
But the table above given, which
covers the last year of the Garfield
Arthur regime, the years of the
first Cleveland administration, the
Harrison administration, and 1893,
gives not one grain of comfort to
the Republican campaigners. The
last year Of Mr.. Arthur's admins
tration the failures numbered TO-.
968 (greater than 1873 and with
liabilities actually less than those
of the s, 1888 failures Of 1873, show
ing how the policy of freezing out
of business the men of small
means was steadily pursued), with
liabilities of S226,3i3,427. In

THE PUSH.

In reviewing the results Of the late
elections in the East, there is but one
conclusion presenting itself to the OBJ
server. The gold bugs this year have
decided to cast their strength with the
Republican party.
The gold standard men, having no
regular party, select in each election
the party that seems best able to save
their interests, and puts its "push''
behind it in the elections. This year
the push Of the gold men was with the
G. o. P. 1t is easy to see why they do
this. In HarrisOn's time the Repub-
lican party was selected to act for the
gold ring. The subeervienca Of the
party to the m sters Of Wall street ex
cited such public hatred and contempt
for it hat the voters clamOred for a
change. Then rhe Wall street "push''
changed in favor of the Democrats.
Cleveland was elected. and the same
gang who elected Harrison to the
Presidential office. turned him down
ITS they apparently bowed TO the pub
lie clamOr for a change.
Now the name of Cleveland has be
come a stencil i'll the minds Of the
masses, who ascribe all the ills Of
hard times to a Democratic rule. The
enemies Of the President in his own
party have filed a public notice that
they will impeach him in the ne$r
Congress. on the grounds that h" has
prOstituted his high Office for money.
and bv doing business with the Wall
and Lombard street people in the
bond deals. made eight millions of
dollars. The Wall street men see
that it will be foolish to stand in with
the Democrats now, and are getting
ready to aid the Republicans in the
campaign of 1896. The people Of
course have forgotten the way the
Republican party allied itself with the
gold standard men under Harrison.
The masses are shOrtsighted. and
only remember the weight and sensa-
tion of the club thai hits them last.
Thus they fly from the frying pan
10 the fire and from the fire to the
frying pan every -four years, while
the gold men are steadily trying out
their financial fat.
They will some day learn, probably
when it is too late, that the party Of
free coinage 16 to /, is the only party
that can give them relief

CONSUElO VANDERBILT.

Another poor, thOughtless girl has
been sold to an English Duke. The
price paid was a ducal coronet, but in
the bargain the Englishman, not con
tented with the girls body, insisted on
a dowry of a quarter of a million a
year and five millions spot cash.
When Il comes to sift down the
cold lines on which the sale was made
it seems appalling that society should
scramble headlong in the crush to get
to the place where high dignitaries Of
the church publicly ratified such a
bargain.
In San Francisco The authorities are
trying to break up the traffic in human
flesh, which is going on in the Chi
nese quarter. A woman is sold for
$500 and a regular bill of sale given.
Then the police step in and somebody
if caught goes to the jug. The Chinese
mind you, have sufficient respect for
the amenities, not to ask the church
to become a party to their nefarious
LIduSdcllOlS.
1t may be that Consuelo will find
the Duke sufficiently attractive per
sonally to fall in love with him, but
one finds it hard to believe that a
woman Of any pride or spirit could
love a man who has deliberately sig
nified to her that he does not care
enough for her to marry her unless
her father pays him five million for
doing SO. With this humiliating
"reminiscences rising constantly in her
mind it is hard to see how the woman
can feel quite satisfied. Then the
Duke will always look upon the cir
cumstance that he gave a Ducal crown
for the woman and she is his chattel
1t may make a happy marriage, but
with the fate of Nellie Grant, Eva
Nackay and scores of others to recall,
a betting man would say it was a ten
to one shot that Consuelo will wish
she was home in New York before
many years. But her ambitious
mamma made the match and what
could the poor girl do?"
