Lynch Law.

In the southern and western states hun dreds of men suffer ignominious deaths every year without ever having fair trial. The uncivilized practice of lynch law still reigns in a large section of the country, add without having an opportunity of lroving their innocence they are hurried out of the world. A great many who are innocent suffer by this inhuman method; everybody should have a fair trial. and no matter of what crime man Is charged if he claims innocence, then give him an opportunity to prove it. If your system is run down and you need something to make you feel AS though you had some thing to live for take U-So Tonic. Do not use the lynch law method in regard to it. but before you condemn it. give it a fair trlal.

IN MEMORY OF A CHIEF.
Iron Nation Was a Great Fighter Again
 the Sioux's Indian Enemies.


 the Sioux's Indian Enemies.
 The grave of the great Sioux chief, Iron Nation, will soon be marked by a handsome marble monument. This unusual tribute is to be paid the memo " of the dead warrior by his people, who arc raising funds for the purpose by popular subscription. Iron Ma tion's grave is in a cemetery on Medi- cino creek near Chamberlain. s. D.. and near by stands church that was con structcd through his efforts. For years past throughout the west the popular idea of tho rcd I.Ian among white people has been expressed by the saying that the only good Indian was n dead In dian. but this statement could not with justice be applied to Iron Nation. He was a good Indian, who always coun- seled peace with the white, and who was instrumental ill preventing trouble on moro than one occasion.
 Iron Nations reputation as n fight ing man rests upon his campaign against the Pawnees. the Poncas. the Omahas and tho Gros NCntres, tho enemies of the Sioux. His father was chief of all the Sioux at tho time the tribe split mp into two factions, the Upper and Lower

 The question that precipitated the dan Gcrous situation was motion made by Sir Henry James, formerly attorney general in MT. Gladstonc's cabinet but who abandoned the Liberal party on the bring ing forward of the Irish home rule scheme
 By standing order No. r of the house of commons a member may arise to move the adjournment of the house for the pur- pose of discussing a matter of urgent pub lie importance. Taking advantage of this order, Sir Henry James moved the adjourn ment of the house in order to call atten- tion to the import duties on cotton re- gently decided upon by tho government of India
 4 Housing Majority.
 It Is claimed by many of the manufac- turers of Manchester and other cotton centerS in Lancashire that the imposition | of these duties has had a most serious eff feet on their business, and they desired the imperial government to intervene to secure their abolition. The cotton inter est is strongly represented in the house. and when the notice of the motion was | given it was conjectured by not only many | Conservative papers. but by some of the stanch Liberal organs, that the govern | mcnt, which was bound to oppose the de sired chango, would be Overthrown by the | Lancashire party in combination with | Conservatives and Liberals interested in the cotton trade The ParnelliteS too, | were expected to cast their votes against the government.
 But the result did not bear out the hopes or fears of the political parties, for by q majority of l95 the Rosebery minis try triumphantly repelled the attacks oi | its aSSailantS.
 | This result was in a measure duo to the attitude of the Right Hon. George J. 1 Goschen who, though Liberal Unionist, dealt with the question in spirit of great fairness toward the government, and de clared that the house should support tht ministry He suggested the holding of { conference in order to remedy the deficit in India, for which purpose the cotton i'm port duty and the excise duty on cottoI in India were laid.
 When the division came to be taken or the motion it was found that a larg' number of Conservatives and Liberal Un ionists and also several members repre- senting Lancashire districts went into thi
 government lobby.
 Included among those who voted agains
 the government was the Right Hon. JO Seph Chamberlain, who, 1t Is stated. wa

AN analysis of the vote Tn the senate taking up the silver bill shows very re- ularkable condition of sentiment on silver Tn that body. Of the 30 af1irmatives. l6 were cast by democrats. four by populists. and ten by republicans. On the negatives, l5 were cast by republicans. l2 by demo- crats. George of Mississippi voted against .ilver because he was opposed to displacing the bankruptcy bill. On a direct vote for the passage of the silver bill. he will vote for it. making the majority five There are other interesting details in the vote which are worthy of passing notice. Senator Allison. who is supposed to lave presidential aspirations, arrayed himself on every vote in antagonism to silver Senator Hill did likewise.

AS TO GAMBLERS FINES.


-Wilborn Wilson, deputy prosecutor of
West indianapolis, says that no prearrange-
ments have been made by him with gam
blers in reference 10 fines to be imposed,
and that the court has fixed alls such
fines. He says that in Squire Heirgs inter-
views it was intended to be understood
that the law provides that the minimum
fine shall he assessed where pleas of guilty
to make cases against gamblers and If
heavy fine were imposed the cases would
be fought and the State would be the
loser of the fines received by accepting
pleas Of guilty. Mr. Wilson says Gus Rahke
has been in court but once since he has
been deputy prosecutor.
