The Unloaded Rifle.

EDGEFIELD, Feb. 22.-Johnnie, the
eleyen-year-old son of Sheriff w. II.
Outz was accidentally killed by Allie,
his nine-year-old brother, this morn
ing. The sheriff was absent from
home and one of his elder children
loaded a rifle for protection. Allie,
supposing the gun to be empty, point
ed it at his brother, and in some way
it was discharged, the ball taking eff,
feet in the face of the deceased and
coming out at the back of the head,
causing instant death. Sheriff Outz
is one Of our biggest hearted men and
he and his good family have the deep
sympathy Of the community.

to which the Conservatives must sub
scribe. What are they2"
1.-THE main one, as I have already
mentioned-the preservation of white
supremacy by qualification of the
ballot. Another, is that no delegate
shall be elected who does not pledge
himself to vote against submission to
the people of the Constitution adopted,
for it goes without saying that the
fight which we are seeking to avoid
would be precipitated in such an event.
Next, that every delegate must sub
scribe to the general proposition that
no white man should be disfranchised,
except for crime. Still another, is that
the Constitution shall deal only in gen
eral principles of government and
leave the Legislature absolutely un'
trammeled on the questions of police
regulations and free schools. With
all delegates Loyalty supporting these
general ideas, together with the pre-
servation of the homestead, it becomes
matter of Indifference to the people
whether the Conservatives or the Re
formers are in the majority in the con
vention. There are various other ques.
tons which will enter into the discus
sion which will precede the election OF
delegates, but they will settle them
sci yes and the people can instruct as to
their wishes"
"How will the division be madel"
'That [ cannot say; each county
must settle that for itself. One other
important matter is the reuniting the
people in support of the primary for
the election Of delegates. Give both
sides representation on boards Of man

our State government, and the Cover.
nor of our choice was duly installed
and assumed undisputed control as
soon as the troops were removed,
while the horde of miscreants who had
defiled our State House fled beyond
our borders for safety.
1t is not pleasant to recall that sad
and gloomy period of our history, but
some of our people seem to have for
gotten it, while others were too young
to know and realize the terrible condi-
tions and the almost superhuman ef-
forts which were necessary to rescue
the State, can, read the story with
profit, if they will heed the lesson OF
the States rescue from the darkest pc
riod it has ever known. White unity
alone wrought our redemption.
White unity alone kept the govern
ment in the hands of the intelligence
and virtue of this State. Obedience to
the will of the white majority and a
loyal support of the candidates chosen
by the regular party machinery alone
preserved the purity of the victory
which was won against such fearful
odds in 1876. The slogon, An lnde-
pendent is worse than a Radical, has
been no idle phrase, but a living, burn
ing text, faith in which meant Anglo,
Saxon supremacy, good government
and the preservation of our clvlllza-
ton.
But the sword of Damocles has been
suspended over our heads through q
Constitution guaranteeing universal
suffrage. The census of 1870 show;

more than 80, 900 men of voting age

HAVERHILL'S LOSS.
The Effect of the Shoe Strike
is Now Far-Reaching.
Many Thousands of People Feeling
the Loss of Weekly Wages.
Strikers Adopt Resolutions Denouncing iniunc.
ton and Court That Issued Il.

Haverhill, Mass, Jan. 16.-Thc shoe
strikers held mass meeting, this after
noon, at which this resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, the supreme civil court of the
commonwealth has seen fit To enjoin tho
peaceful citizens of Haycrhill from cxer-
cising their constitutional right of FREQ
speech, by this means hoping TO perpctu-
ate the slavish contract system and rate
of wages far below the necessities of mod
ern civilization, and.
Whereas, under their injunction any
citizen may be brought before the court
and sentenced, denied the right of trial
by jury which has prevailed unmolestcd
since the signing of the magma charter,
therefore, be it
Resolved, that we condemn in unmcas-
urcd terms this attempt to stiile liberty,
the court that sanctioned 1t, the men that
applied for it, and the purpose for which
it is intended; and be it further
Resolved, that we, the common people
whose sacrifices have made this republic
possible, who defended 1t ON every battle
field, reatlirm our devotion to the immor-
tai principles onunciated in the Declara-
ton of Independence, that the rights of
man are and should be, the goal TO which
the footsteps of the race should be directed,
and pledge ourselves to continue the
struggle for better conditions.
The most serious aspect of affairs is or
dcrs for shoes have nearly ceased to come
in. The big factories having facilities
for filling large orders are quickly crippled
and cannot produce more than II third OF
the usual output
Now at least 20, 900 people are out be-
cause of the strike. The strike Is begin
ing to affect others than the shoe trade.
Last saturday three men We're discharged
by the Haverhill Iron Works, the direct
cause OF which was the strike Most Of
the shoe contractors shops have come into
the Union line but the great manuiac-
turcrs have not and will not.
There will be no more cutdowns in any
of the factories for the present, but the
strikers are losing largely in point of
wages. j. II. Winchcll & Co.'S. pay roll
of 81 900 week will be reduced two
thirds and in other factories the reduction
will be in about the same proportion.

IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL?
Arguments in Income Tax Case Finished and
Decision Expected Ian. 20.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The argument
of the constitutionality of the income tax
law was continued, today. before Judge
Hagner in equity court, No. 2. Jere M.
Wilson, for the complainant, said it was
a startling proposition that even if the
income tax provisions were void, the tax
could be collected, and it would be re-
markable thing that there was no power
in the courts to stop an officer from exc
cutting an unconstitutional law. An I'M
constitutional law was no law at all, and
any officer who executed it would be
amendable to punishment in the courts.
Mr.. Wilson maintained that the law
was obnoxious in that it taxed incomes
reaching two years back, in taxing the
same income twice. in taxing the income
of foreign students for instance. The
law, he said, sought to prevent thrift, en-
terprise and energy when it was these
thing that made our country.
Assistant Attorney General Whitney
closed the argument in behalf of the gov
eminent, citing the decisions of the SUI
prcme court affirming the constitutional
-ity of former income tax laws more OBJ
noxious than the present tax Judge
Hagner said he would render decision,
Wednesday.

House document No. |, an act relating
to the crossings of highways and town
ways by the Bangor Il Aroostook Rail
road.
Mr.. Engel of PcnobScot moved that the
rules be suspended and this bill take is
second reading at the present time
Mr.. Savage of Androscoggin objected
Mr.. Engel of Penobscot: / may say that
this act is of local interest and relates
solely to the b. & a. Railroad. As the
law stands now whenever the railroad
company wishes to cross highway it
has to give notice to the railroad com
missioner, and after such notice is given
the railroad commissioners appear and
indicate just where the railroad shall cross
the highway, and the grade at which it
shall cross, and their decision is absolute
ly final and conclusive. The b. & A.
Railroad was obliged to cross some high
ways at places different from those indi-
Gated by the railroad commissioners, and
this act provides that the railroad com
missioners shall go to these places, and if
they are satisfied that these crossings are
just rs good in every respect as those in
dictated by them they shall approve them
The railroad commissioner himself has
appeared and asked that this act We passed
as quickly rs possible l hope tn, senator
from Androscoggin will withdraw his OBJ
lection.
Mr.. Savage of Androscoggin: The ar
gument of the senator from Pcnobscot
is directed to the merits of the bill | have
no objection to the bill indeed, l expect
to vote for it myself My only contention
is that we ought not to suspend the rules
in this case and thus make precedent
in hurrying through business of a public
nature. l question whether we ought
to do this where great public matters are
involved, and especially ut this early stage
of the session. However, if the senator
insists on his motion l shall not oppose
it.
Motion carried, and bill read second
time and passed to be cngrossed.
