THE MURDER ON THE BRIDGE.

The murder of the colored man,
BARNEY PERRY, who was thrown from
MAYo's Bridge on Saturday morning
between the hours of two and three
o'clock is absor bling the attention of
the colored people just now,
Already there is an attempt being
made to place it in the category of ac-
cidents and thereby relieve the au-
thorities of the responsibility of furth-
er investigation.
1t is plainly apparent that this col
ored man was brutally assaulted and
murdered
1t was hoped that the waters of the
James River would cover up dark
secret.
White and coiored people who knew
him speak well of BARNEY PERRY and
that his murderers should not be APP
pretended and punished is to be great
ly regretted.
The finding of the blood-stains on
the bridge, the hat, his body with
wounds thereon is pToof-positive of
somebody's guilt and it becomes an
open question as to whether these
murderers shall be apprehended and
punished or allowed to go free.
Who killed BARNEY PERRY? If this
question is not satisfactorily answered
it will not be long before others of US
will have as mysteriously dippapeares.

PRACTICAL SYMPATHY.

READER, have you a wife, a mother
or sister? Have you female rela-
tive for which you care much
If you have, imagine her accused of
murderof which she is innocent,
tried by jury of prejudiced white
men, convicted and sentenced to die
July s, 1896. Suppose she was sick at
heart, weary and lonely. with a sick
babe to labor with and all of the
pangs of apprehension racking ner
brain?
Suppose that she had nine children
bemoaning her fate, hopelessly await
ing her return, with heartbroken hus-
band signing for days which have gone
out of his life never, never to return.
Would you have sympathy2
Suppose that you were near deaths
door, that you lived in state where it
gave up its citizens, executed for crime
20 the medical schools where the sur
geons cut layer after layer of muscles
from the bones, take the eyes from the
sockets, the tongue out by the roots,
expose the skull and finally leave
naught, but the gruesome skeleton TO
tell what was once a human being
would you have sympathy?
This is the case of MARY ABERNATHY
who is now confined under sentence of
death at the Lynchburg Jail.
SOLOMON MARABLE, gaunt, lynx eyed
wiry SOLOMON continues to declare
that MARY ABERNATHY is innocent of
the crime alleged against her.
He declares that he was present at
the murder and that the women took
no part in it.
And yet, if something is not done
MARY ALTERNATELY will die on the glib
bet. This is indeed cruel world
The more we consider the injustice
melted, the punishment visited upon
the innocent, the more our hearts goes
out in sympathy.
Shall MARY ABERNATHY be saved?
The expense is great and again we
call upon the public to still have sym
patty.

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.

THE political situation in this coun-
try at the present time is much mixed
There is an attempt to make the sill
yer question the overshadowing issue
and it is meeting with much success.
SO true is this that the tariff question
is being lost sight of in the discussion,
and Major MCKINLEY, the apostle OF
the high protective policy is being
piled with all sorts of questions on the
currency issue.
AS to what will be the effect of this
time alone can tell. Certain it is that
the gold standard men are fighting
with a desperation exceeded only by
the attitude of the silver men in the
United States Senate, when they were
outvoted and the coinage of silver dol
lars suspended for an indefinite period
of time.
The result will be that the Republi.
can National Convention at st. Loui:
will have to do what it has persistent.
ly declined to do,-put plank in it,
platform squarely in favor of the gold
standard or straddle the question anc
nominate a man who is known to bs
in favor of the most precious of the two
money metals.
We regard the situation as being
critical.
