INVESTIGATING THE ST. CHARLES
LYNCHNGs.

1t was to be expected that the Itll-
ian government would make inquiry
into the lynching of three Italians in
st Charles parish, Louisiana Baron
Fava is now prosecuting that inquiry
1t is to be hoped that he WIFI asce-
tain all the facts in the case and report
them to his government, and not mere
ly the fact that they were Italian citi-
zens and were lynched. 1t IS not at
all improbable that he will find out that
they are naturalized Americans. 1t is
TO be hoped that he viii find out, what
seems 10 be unquestioned, that the
three men lynched had been guilty of
murder: that two of them had waylaid
and murdered a man because he had
dared to be their rival in the business
of gathering Spanish moss; and that
the third man had shot a man from
ambush because he had given evidence
in court against his slayer 1t is to be
hoped that Baron Fava will find out
all these facts and report them to his
government. If he does; it will be a
matter of sincere congratulaFion on the
part of the Italian government that 1T
is SO we'll rid of such bloodthirsty,
numbering devils.
The lynching of these three Italians
cannot be justified, and if it shall be
established that they were still Italian
citizens, Italy win have cause of com
plant, and the Washington govern
49, proi,
best it may
But there is another side to this
question, a side in which ITALY does not
show up to advantage by any means.
For years and years she dumped the
very worst class of her criminals into
the United States. Did they come to
participate in the blessings of Ameri-
can liberty? Not by any means They
merely looked upon this country as a
large and more promising field in which
to carry on their lawless operation
AS they were a terror and curse to
southern Italy and Sicily so they have
been to some extent in this country.
Such were the members OF the Malta
who were shot in New Orleans in 1890;
such were the men who were lynched
in st. Charles parish the other day.
No decent, law-abiding italian was
ever harmed in the United States, or
viii be; but the men who were lynched
in Louisiana were murderers and cut
threats in their own country. The
Italian government should take note of
these facts; and the italian press would
do well to remember them before adj
vising an immediate resort TO energetic
measures.
The class of people who have brought
vengeance upon themselves in Loutsi-
ana should never have been admitted
into the country, and in future all such
should be prohibited entrance.

The Democratic gold party State
convention at Wheeling, Saturday,
was presided over by Mr.. Benjamin
TrapnelI, of Charleston, formerly of
this place. Press dispatches say
that he made an earnest address that
reused the convention to n high pitch
of enthusiasm. He denounced the
Chicago convention and its nominee,
claiming its acts were inspired by
Populists and renegade Republicans,
and that it did not represent true
J%effersonian Democracy. The ma
tional De mocratic party, hesaid, can
only look forward to defeat, but it
can assist in the triumph of the
cause of sound currency. His ref
erence to Grover Cleveland as the
greatest of the latter-day opponents
of true Jeffersonian Democracy was
received with enthusiasm. Delegates
and alternates to the Indianapolis
National Convention we're elected,
among the latter Mr.. H. w. Potts of
this county. MI. W. H. Wilson, of
this place, was chosen elector for the
second district.

The Democrats held their judicial con
ventiou at Berkeley Springs on last Tues
day. 1t was very harmonious, and we
must say from personal observation, that we
nave never seen n cleaner or better looking
or more intelligent lot of Democrats attend
ing any convention. They nominated Hon.
e. Boyd Faulkner, who has SO faithfully at.
tended to the duties of the position, and as
a man, although differing in politics, Re-
%publicans honor him for fairness and impair
TALLY. There may be a candidate against
him, but that is doubtful. Judges have
nothing to do with political platforms while
they nave their political affiliations aud
have no right to become absolute partisaus
in judicial affairs. A close observer, we
have found Judge Faulkner fair, although
often deciding against us. The court rep.
resents the law and every man on the bench
should be impartial.-JdrtaasJurg Aadepen-
dent. (ReD).

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
tionaI remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iufamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tubei is inflamed
you have u rumbling SOUND or imperfect hear
lug, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Flames were discovered in a bed
chamber at Mr.. John PorterieId's
about O'clock Saturday evening, and
a fire alarm sounded. A son of Mr..
Porterfield had been lying upon a
bed in the room some time previous,
and it is supposed that when he arose
a match which had fallen became
ignited by the movement of a slat,
and that very slow combustion ensued
until the bright light caused thereby
was discovered by near neighbors
just in time to prevent a very serious
confiagation and the suffocstion of
Mr.. Porterfield's youngest child in
an adjoining room. AS it was, the
bedstead and bedding were much
damaged. Loss covered by insur-
ance with the old reliable agency of
