MoBs AND PzSToL ToTERS.

MOBS AND PISTOL TOTERS.
 Bishop Galloway, the famous and greatest of all Southern Methodist Bishops, preached a powerful ser mon at Jackson, Miss, last Sunday in which he inyeighed against the evils of mob violence and pistol tot ing in very able aud effective man ner. These evils have become so prominent recently that his remarks were especially timely, and a few extracts from his sermon will no doubt prove interesting to our read CTS. Among other things the dis tinguished Bishop said:
 "We need to execrate and forever exile that silly sentiment that wounded honor is to be revenged by the fatal trigger. To eondone it is to cheapen human life and put pre- mium upon brute courage. It is a sad commentary on our civilization to see the average young man, in defiance of law, but sustained by a debauched public sentiment, prone nading the streets as walking ar senal, and going to and from his place of business hip pocket defender of imaginary reputation. It humbles our national pride to be told that, with the exception of Italy and Spain, the proportion of murders to deaths in the United States is not exceeded on earth, where statistics are taken. Out of every 10000 deaths in England seven are mur- ders. Out of every 10000 in the United States twenty-one are mur. ders. During the past four years there has been an aggregate of 24, 557 known murders in this land oi the free and the home of the brave.
 But even more disgraeeful to our boasted Christian civilization is the spirit of mob violence abroad in the land. When courts are disregarded and lynch law reigns the people may well put on sackcloth and ashes. There is no guarantee for life and property. The same defiant, mur- derous spirit that demands the life of one man without the right of trial by jury, will wreak like ven- geanee upon another if there be a l supposed provocation. One such outrage will make each participant an outlaw and ever thereafter he will have a contempt for the tedious processes of the courts. Lynchers are always law despisers. There are no crimes or circumstances that justify resort to lynen law. Itg effects in deferring criminal classes from like fdeeeedds is lost in it's deadly 1 influence upon the participants themselves. Without going further back than two years ago 1 can give you figures that will bring the blush of shame to every one proud of being an American citizen. In 1892 for the 6791 murders committed, 107 persons were tried by law and exc cuted, while 236 were lynched by mobs, 23l of them being men and five women; 129 more persons were lynched last year by mobs than were executed under the law. And a full and shameful share of these were in our own great State of courts and churches, of homes and schools. In the name of God and humanity let us sustain the forms and majesty of the law. Pulpit and press, church and school must thunder an eternal protest until mobs are unknown, co9stitutional law sacredly en- thfoned and the infamous pistol for ever prohibited.

J. PIrRpoNr MORGAN has dissolved

J. PIERPoNT MORGAN has dissolved the gold syndicate organized to pur- chase the new loan of government bonds. This action has been taken because the President and Secretary of the Treasury decided to place the bonds by a popular loan, the success of which scheme can no longer be doubted. The syndicate desired ''all or none, and as they could not get all, they decided to take none. MT. Morgan says that he feels per fectly satisfied that the loan will be success without the syndicate, and the syndicate is therefore dissolved.

HELP NE, SAMP
John Bull Is Not the Buffer of the Days Of
Yore-Wants Our Good
Offices.

Washington, June PAS soon as Sec
rotary Olney returns to the state depart
ment-and he is confidently expected to-
morrow-he will receive from Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador, a
request from the British government
to use his good offices with Venezuela to
secure the release from Imprisonment
of Crown Surveyor Harrison. who is re-
ported to have been arrested by the Ven
ezuelan police while he was engaged in
constructing road connecting the Bari
ma and Cuyuni rivers in the disputed ter
ritory. This action of Great Britain is
considered in diplomatic circles a radical
departure from the ultimatum methods
hitherto practiced on American republics,
and much significance Is attached to this
fact, as probably indicating the consider
able progress made towards an arbitra-
tion agreement and the practical ac-
acknowledgement that the United States Is
a party in interest in the Venezuelan dis
pute. as well as in future controversies
regarding territory on the American con-
tinent.
While it is universally admitted that
the new incident Is exceedingly unfortu-
nate just at this tuncture, there Is great
diversity of opinion in fixing the blame.
Even the British government has the
most indefinite knowledge Of the exact
locality where the arrest took place, al
though 1t is claimed that the surveying
party had no authority to go outside the
territory occupied exclusively by En-
glishmen for the past ten years.

NAIL TRUST IN SESSION.
There Will Be No Decline in Mails Before
July 81

Chicago, ILL.,, June A.-The Nail asso-
citation, which Is also called the Nail
trust, held meeting today at the Audi
forum hotel. Among the leading mem
bers present were Charles S. Loring and
J.. C. Pearson of Boston. J. d. Dubois OF
Wheeling, w. Va, ]. r. Horton of Ash
land, KY, N. C1aypool OF Indianapolis
and N. B. Burr of Iowa.
The recent purchase of the Boackes
mill Of New York and Philadelphia for
100000 and the Pittsburg Wire company
for $750,O00 has given the association a
practical monopoly of the wire nail in
dustry, enabling 1t to regulate the price
and output. The association has ad-
vanced the price from 70 cents key to
81. 20 in the two years Of its existence
A member said today there would be
no immediate change In the price. and
purchasers had been guaranteed there
would be no decline In nails bought this
month before July 81. A troublesome
question settled by the meeting was In
relation to the nah ma chine manufac-
turers, who resented the dictation of the
trust as to the number OF machines to be
turned out. 1t was agreed to allot the
machine men a certain output by dis
tricts, and the restriction will be compep-
stated for by q cash allowance.

BorEs AND BRYAN.
Will Be the Favorites in the North Car
lima Convention.

lima Convention.
Raleigh. N. c., June 24.-The demo-
cratic state convention meets here at
noon tomorrow with 916 delegates.
About 500 people are now here. The
declination of ]. S. Carr to allow his name
to go before the convention for governor
has put the delegates at sea. Some of
them favor holding two conventions, one
tomorrow to elect delegates at lerge, and
another convention to be held after the
national one to nominate state ticket.
A large majority of those here tonight
say they favor one convention and the
disposal of business tomorrow. The
other faction Is working hard, however,
in the interest of two conventions. 1t APP
pears to be difficult to find a man who
will be a candidate for governor, and this
is another matter which adds to the per-
plexity of some of the delegates. eau
cuses were held tonight to settle these
questions. The chief reason which the
two convention advocates urge is that
they do not know whether free silver will
win at Chicago and whether some of
their delegates to Chicago may not play
them false.
At the democratic caucus tonight 1t
was seen that four-fifths of the dele
gates favored transacting all business
tomorrow, and then the two convention
men Withdrew from the contest. There
is very little If any sentiment among the
delegates for Teller, but It runs strongly
to Boies and Bryan. A great majority Of
the delegates feel positive that the ma
tional convention will adopt a silver plat
form and nominate silver candidate.
1t is asserted tonight that Cyrus B.
Watson OF Winston will be nominated for
governor on the first ballot by the demo-
cratic convention tomorrow.

KILLED THEIR GOD.
Daring Deed of an American Scout in the
Matabele Country.

London, June "a. The Daily Telegraph
tomorrow will publish dispatches from
Pretoria and Kimberly saying that ru-
NOR is being circulated In those places
to the effect that the natives have cap
tured Fort Salisbury, killed and mutt
lated fifty white inhabitants and smash
ed the Maxim guns In the place.
The foregoing report, however, lacks
confirmation, as do other rumors recently
current that Fort Salisbury, which has
been hard pressed by the natives, has
been relieved. There has been much
fighting In various places in the disturb
ed district in the last few days.
Burnham, the American scout, found in
a cave in the Matoppo hills the famous
Matabele god. Mlimo, the prompter and
fosterer of the outbreak, and vainly tried
to capture MIimo alive, but being unable
to do SO killed him. It IL believed that
the death of their god will discourage the
natives and lead to the suppression of
the revolt.

THE ELECTIONS IN CANADA.
st. James Gazette Says Home Rule Doesn'


st. James Gazette Says Home Rule Doesn't
Work.
London, June 24.--The st. James Ga
zette, commenting upon the result of the
elections held in the Dominion of Canada
yesterday, says that the Hon. Wilfred
Laurier will now be able to show whether
or not he is a statesman. The rock upon
which the conservatives came to grief,
the Gazette says, was state rights. The
real merit of the result is, even IL Canada
has home rule, the system does not work
smoothly.
The Canadian Gazette which will be is
sued tomorrow, will contain an article
upon yesterdays elections In the Domin-
ion of Canada, paying a high tribute to
the unexampled activity of Sir Charles
Topper. Mr.. Wilfred Lauriers views
upon the tariff question, the article adds,
were seemingly developed as the fight
proceeded. Continuing, the writer says;
1--WE shall soon see how he will put into
practice the sentiments expressed in the
speech he delivered at the beginning of
June, demanding a revenue tariff and a
system of preferential trade with Eng
land and how his pro-United States of
America policy will be affected thereby"

THESES had been examined the hearing
Was continued until Friday at noon in

the I.aurada was at New York Captain
Morton, who had charge of the Commo-
dore expedition, came on board. Others
who came on board were Mr.. Hart, Colo
mel Nunez and two other men. Mr. Hart,
he said, went ON shore soon, but the 9TH
ers accompanied the ship to Montauk
Point, at the eastern end OF Long Island.
Two tugs brought two lighters along
side. One lighter carried about LOO Gu
bans, and the other was loaded with war
material and dynamite. At Montauk
Point Captain Uunez left the Laurada
with final instructions to Captain Morton
to "get away as quickly as he could"
The Laurada then sailed to Cuba, and
the Cubans donned uniforms. drilled
fred guns and said they were going to
Cuba to fight for liberty"
The witness stated that the men, arms
and ammunition were landed on the
coast of Cuba. 1t required four of the
boats to take the men ashore, he said.
while another boat conveyed the guns.

giving his testimony occasionally re-
ferred to a slip of paper, and upon cross
examination he hesitatingly admitted
that upon this paper he had kept the run
of the voyage SO that he could testify
afterward
Holmes testimony was corroborated by
Octavius D. Weyman, a sailor from New
York. A continuance was then given I'M
til Friday next SO as to give the govern
ment an opportunity to produce other
testimony.
