SANcTIFIED BAND IN NORTH CARO-
LINA.-The "Sanctifed Band" under
the leadership of Father Lynch. who
created so much trouble on Chincotea-
que Island last year, but part Of whom
were imprisoned in Virginia after
spreading their free-love doctrine to
such an extent as to cause bloodshed,
have appeared in eastern North Caro-
lima. Attorney Aydlett, of Elizabeth
City, was engaged by the county COM
missioners to prosecute them, and they
employed Judge Albertson. Investiga-
ton shows that there is no statute in
North Carolina under which the "free-
lovers" can be prosecuted. A county
commissioner of Currituck says that if
they remain in that section much longer
there will be bloodshed. One of their
new converts, named Burgess, living
near Shiloh, in Camden county, beat
his wife terribly few days ago, saying
that the 'sLord told him to beat her sins
out of her." The headquarters of the
band are alleged to be on large barge
in the North River off Powell's Point.

THOUGH THE iron and steel products
of this country now can be, and are, sold
i all foreign neutral markets at as low
figures as those of England, the repuo-
licans say silver must not be the chiei
issue of the next campaign, but that the
restoration of the rates ofthe Mckinley
tariff bill must be. Such talk, and the
social equality law in New York induce
tina belief that high tariff and a Force

explain nothing, but show that she
had become incapable of controlling
her thoughts so as to make connected
statement. Everything seems to he in

and vastly more comfortable, when
