nothing more than useless sacrifice OF
human life and the utter destruction OF
the very subject matter Of the conflict. a
situation will bee presented i'm which our
obHgations to- the sovereignty of Spain
will Dee superseded by higher obligations.
which we can hardly hesit~te 10 reccs-
rizc and discharge.
there is no installing the meaning
Of this. although it is not an ulimatum.
Mr.. Cleveland has something to say
of finance. and the hgures he presents
are interesting. as regards our curren-
cv. the amount Of money in circulation
and the production Of gold and silver.
The President is not in favor of indie
pendent bimetallism by the United
States. but the figures he presents are
O. pretty strong argument for such a
policy.
The President treats, also, Of the
tariff at considerable length. He states
the subject in some detail and his
conclusions are exact and indisputa-
bic. while his argument as TO why the
present tariff should be let alone by
the Congress is forcible and convinc-
ing. Mr. Cleveland shows conclusive
~ that the present tariff will produce
sufficient revenue and that it will pro-
duce it much sooner than any tariff bill
the Republicans have proposed. This
portion of the Presidents message is
PARTICULARLY worthy of careful consid-
Grafton. since it viii be a special bone
of cor. mention in Congress-riumphant
Plutocracy on The one side and the peo-
pie on the other.
Tic would be a national calamity at
this time to take up the subject of the
tari6 and again turn business topsy-
tIryy and stop the wheels of industry
for a whole session Of Congress. The
business man is a very touchy indiyid-
uaI and he viii crawl into his she'll at
the first sign of disarrangement or un-
certainty in his affairs. We have had
quite enough Of this sort of thing Of
late and the business man is sick and
tired of it. Trade and commerce have
been staguated for several years and We
are just recovering from a financial
panic that began in the spring of 1898.
Is business to be knocked in the head
again by more tariff legislation before
it has gotten fairly on its feet?
Mr.. Cleveland is indisputably right.
The tariT should be let alone. 1t is a
better tariff than the Republicans offer
and will produce sufficient revenue to
run the government And in the mean
time business should be given a
chance to recover from the political ag-
itauon that has been backsetting it for
the pas, few years.
These are the main subjects of i'm
portance presented by the President
and they are worthy the careful and
nou-parusau consideration of Con-
gress.

Proportion of sound Money Men TO
siINcrifcs in NaIdnsfn.

Valdosta. Ga. May 26.-The report has
been spread abroad in some OF the towns
adjacent TO Valdosta to the effect that the
free silverites were sweeping everything
before them here; that they were well or
ganized and that prominent men who had
been for sound money all along were
scrambling over each other 10 get in the
free silver ranks. The report wa prob
ably circulated for the purpose Of in
huencing the people in the adjoining coun-
ties, il being known that this city has
long been solid for a stable currency, meas
ured by gold.
To refute the silly rumor and to show ex-
actly now the question stands IN this city

voters were outspOken for free silver. Six

twenty did not want their names to ap-
money.
OF the citizens not seen-on account Of
absence from the city and other causes
q very large majority are known to be
for the gold standard. The poll has been
a surprise TO even the sound money peO-
pie who have known all along that the
town and county was Overw helmingly for
sound currency. In taking the votes a great
deal OF care was taken to report every man
exactly as he wished. So of the 259 voters
polled on the question il viii be seen that
not over Is are for free silver while the
balance are opposed to 1t. Lowndes coun-
~ Is probably as solid on the question as
the town is-so far as democratic voters
are concerned.

A report from Washington says that

Murder in the First Degree.
Jacksonville, Fla. May 26.-After a de-

Kelly was then a policeman off duty. He
attempted to shove Talent off the side
walk. The latter threw him, but got Off
making a joking remark. Kelly attacked
Talent with the butt of his pistol. Tai

shots at him. Kelly claimed Talent at

was put on the stand. He stated
that he had examined Ryder about
O'Clock this morning and found him pros

A JUROR UNDER A CLOUD.

A Mistrial Ordered in the Crisweil
Case at Jacksonville.
Macon, Ga, May 26.-The second day of
Warren CriswelTs trial a. Jacksonville
for train wrecking resulted in Judge Smith
declaring a mistrial, because one Of the
jurors, Jesse Newly, had been detected
in conversation with ]. Tom Glover who
on the previous day was offering to bet
S. that conviction of the wreckers could
never be had; and also because it was dis
covered the juror was a second cousin of
the wife of a former prosecutor in the case.
As the misconduct of the juror was
brought to the courts attention in the
states counsel the defense filed a plea
asking the court to release Crisweli on
the ground Of former jeopardy. 1t was
argued that while a mistrial declared on
motion of the defendants counsel would
not be ground for such plea, yet if the
states counsel caused such a mistrial the
prisoner could not again be tried in the
same case.
Judge Smith promptly dismissed the
plea, and ordered the case to proceed In
striking another jury the court ruled out
on account of relationship several jurors
whom the defense was anxious to swear
in. The same witnesses as on Monday last

Of the currency, in a joint debate with

Smith also told the silver league managers
that as long as they had failed to put Into

A CONVICT BRUTALLY FLOGGED.
The Man known TO BE of UnsOund
Mind when whipped.

Mind When Whipped.
Atlanta, Ca, May 26.-Capt. T. ]. Price,
superintendent and whipping boss Of the
convict camp at Kramer, where Harry
Hill and Lord Beresford are confined, was
to-day cited to appear before Gov. Atkin-
son to answer sensational charge Of bru-
tally
Capt. Price is accused of inhumanly fog
cling several convicts, among them one
whom he had already reported to the de-
partment as insane. This mans name is
VIII williams. He was sent up last
March from Macon for burglary. Shortly
after he arrived at the camp. Capt Price
discovered that he was crazy and so re-
ported 10 Principal Keeper Turner, who
was asked to have him sent to the asy-
lum. Williams trouble is epilepsy.
Notwithstanding this, when the reports
were sent TO the principal keeper, he
found that Williams had been flogged. He
thought that this was an unnatural cir
cumstance and at once sent DR.. Bush, the
principal physician down to Kramer to
investigate. DR.. Bush reported that the
man was undoubtedly crazy. He had as
saulted a camp physician while suffer-
ing with one Of his spells and for this
was fiogged. The logging occurred the
middle of April, but Bush found great sore
places upon mis- back and legs where he
had been struck.
Upon this report, Principal Keeper Tur-
ner himself went down to Kramer to in
vestigate. He found DR.. Bushs report
fully confirmed, and in addition the prin-
cipal keeper also discovered two other con-
victs who bore the brutal marks of the
lash. He returned to Atlanta and laid the
matter before the governor to-day. Capt.
Price is ordered to appear before Gov At

HUDSON LET OFF LIGHT.
The Jury Brings in a Verdict of In
voluntary Mnnslaughter.

Atlanta. Ga, May 26.-The jury in the
case of ex-Policeman w. N. Hudson to-
day returned a verdict of involuntary
manslaughter which will allow the pris-
oner to go with a light penalty for the
killing of Jim Decatur.
Judge John S. Gamblers charge to the
jury in the case was a sensation to the
friends of the prisoner, a great many of
whom We're present, particularly his as
sociates in the police department The
charge was almost an instruction to the
jury to bring in a verdict of murder
Judge Gambler told the jury that If they
believed Hudson shot at Leonard, the flee
ing thief, whom he was trying to capture
with intent to kill, and in so shooting,
killed Decatur, the crime was murder
When the jury came back to ask for in
struction on voluntary granddaughter, af-
ter having been out for some time, Judge
Gambler told them that ii was not their
province to take into consideration the
punishment for any particular grade OF
crime, but they should return a verdict
upon the evidence without reference tc
the punishment
