Camden, Ark. July 16.-About -
O'clock last night at Hampton. thirty
miles east of here, two negroes
mobbed by eighty-ive men. Two
weeks ago a white man named Martin
was killed by three negroes. Two of
them were arrested and confined in
Jail. A mob gathered several nights
ago but were persuaded to deSist.
Last night there was another gather
ing headed by determined men who
marched to the Jail and demanded of
the sheriff the surrender of the MUIR
derers. 1t was useless to resist such
a force with but Il handful of mcn to
summon to his aid, so the keys were
delivered to the mob. The culprits
were carried to the neighboring for
est and hanged. The men we're not
masked and made no effort to conceal
their identity. Two years ago a race
riot occurred in Calhoun county. The
negroes greatly Outnumber the whites
and further trouble is expected.
st. Louis, July 16.-A white man,
evidently familiar with the White
chapel manner Of murder. took the
life Of Ella, alias kid" King, a ne
gress twenty-eight years of age and of
a dissolute character, at a late hour
last night. The woman, whose abdo-
men was ripped open by the knife of
the assassin in such a manner that
the entrails slipped out, died at the
hospital soon after reaching there.
To-day Charles Schlick, a white nan
who is said to have lived with the
King woman in Kansas City, was ar
rested on suspicion of having COM
mitted the murder, which lie strongly
denies. Just before the crime was
committed he was heard to say he
would get even for being robbed of so
cents.

POLITICAL

4 correspondent Of the Reno Jour
nal thus tells of the effects Of political
hypnotism Oh voters:
The professional hypnOtize"s Of the
DemO-Republican combination are
making a stupendOus effort to make
the people believe VT are in the midst
Of prosperity The Republican wing
Of this combination assert that the
cause of the present prosperity is ow-
ing to the glorious Republican victory
Of 1894, which prevents the Democrats
from doing any more damage. The
Democratic wing Cf the combination
claim that the great prosperity We are
now enjoying is due wholly to the
great craftsmanship Of Grover Cleve-
land and the wise Legislation Of the
Democratic Congress, said Legislation
being wholly in the interest Of the
wage-earner and farmer.
Mr.. Editor, since hvpnotism has
been acknowled, by physicians and
scientists. as being a fact, the steerers
VI Vic bSHlo-
have been working it for all it is
worth. Their method of late years is
to subsidize the leading magazines
and newspapers and employ profess
sional talent to write articles ridicul-
ing the Populist. the Democratic wing
extolling the virtues Of the Democratic
party and the Republican wing glOr-
living the deeds Of the Republican
party. This literary work is for the
purpose Of leading the voters astray
and to get them in a condition to alb
serb the dose that the fiery orators
and brass bands will give them just
before election. After this dose is ad-
miniStered the voters are supposed to
remain in a hypnotic condition until
after election, when they are allowed
TO regain their normal condition.
The preliminary arrangements for
the coming sham battle between the
Two wings Of the money power is about
completed, Mckinley and Reed will
doubtless command the forces of the
Republican wing, while Cleveland and
Carlisle will probably command the
Democratic division. The leaders of
both divisions will get their instruc-
lions from Rothchilds, the present
pr~otectorate of the United States
Treasury, and the sham battle will be
made as sanguinary asthe emergency
may reNnire.

COMMON SENSE TEACHING

The Sacramento Bee believes that
the first duty Of the public school sys-
tenn should be to give the pupil a good
English education, TO that end"
it saws. sall frills and furbelows for
eicn and dead language should be
wiped out from the curriculum Of our
public schools. We have no objections
to letting scholars potter away with
them in Universities, but they should
not be permitted to cumber that por-
ton of the public school which ends
with the high school. Let US improve
u common schools by Kidding them
Of the mess Of weeds which chokes the
garden Of a good, solid English edu-
cation"
The Record Union of Sacramento
and a number of other noted cOntem-
poraries heartily agree with the Bee.
At the University in this State, are
Professors Of dead languages drawing
salaries, but the University is unable
to engage a teacher Of mechanical
arts, because of a lack Of money. Yet
the law under which the University is
running, especially provides that the
mechanical arts shall be taught. A
course in the mechanical arts is worth
more to a Nevada scholar than ten
years of dabbling in Latin and Greek.
