The Death Penalty

BARCELONA, Nov. 24.-The attor'
ney general, who is personally con-
ducting the prosecution of the prison
ers who ara under arrest for connect
ing with the throwing of bomb in
crowded street while religious pro-
cesssion was passing on June z, last,
has announced that he will ask the
court that % of the prisoners be sem
fenced to death and 56 condemned to
penal servitude for life. Great pre-
cautions will be taken against disor-
der when the sentences are published.
The court will sit in the vault of the
fortress of Mont Juich and only mill.
tary officers will be admitted to itn
proceedings. The crime for which the
prisoners are to answer to a military
court, was one of the most fiendish OF
the many similar outrages committed
by anarchists within the last few years.
The usual religious observances OF the
feast of Corpus Christi were being OBJ
served and thousands of people
lined the streets to witness the process
sion on its way to the ancient Church
of Santa Maria del Mar. Just as the
procession was entering the church
bomb was exploded IN the crowd,
killing dozen persons outright and
SO others, some of whom
died from their injuries.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The 113th
anniversary of the evacuation of New
York by the British was celebrated by
the New York State Society, Sons of
the Revolution, at Delmonico's to-
night. The principal speaker was w.
B. Hornblower, who responded to the
toast, american Common Sense.s
He said in part: ''What of the future?
Suggestions are made that old party
lines must be abandoned and that all
men who are in favor of sound cur
rency and of honest enforcement of
public and private obligations and of
the maintenance of law and order
should combine in one party against
the elements of discomfort and disor-
der and dishonesty. Such a result
would be most unfortunate. If the
day shall ever come when all sober
minded men are on one side and all
extremists and revolutionists on the
other side, lined up in party align
ments, the knell of republican institu.
tions will have sounded. Our form
of government cannot continue unless
there are two great parties who are di-
vided upon questions on which men
of sound jud dgment and honest princi-
Piles can fairly differ. l believe that
party lines will be reformed, based
upon the same general lines of divis.
ion that have heretofore separated the
two great parties, and 1 believe that
thus and thus only, can our institu-
tions be preserved"

Al Convenient Invention.

An Orangeburg farmer comes 10 the
front with a new invention i'll the
shape OF a Lubricator for oilinlg We
hicle wheels without taking them off
the axle. 1t is inserted in the hub
between two of the spokes. When
you want to grease your wheel all you
have to do is to Withdraw a plunger,
which operates with a spring, and put
as much oil as is needed on the axle.
Upon being released the spring closes
up the oil hole until it is opened for
oiling up again. It is very ingeni-
Gus and clever device. and is bound to
be used generally. With these lubri-
Gators a vehicle can be oiled up any
where along the road in less than one
minute. The patent for this valuable
invention is owned hy the National
Lubricator Company of Orangeburg,
S. Q. Mr.. Jas. L. Sims, Editor and
Proprietor of the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat, is the manager of the
company, which is guarantee that it
is all right. The company wants an
agent in this county to sell the Lubli-
Gators. See advertisement in another

An impending Conflict.

One of the really great works on
the economic topics of the day is that
of Charles B. Sparks, of Brooklyn,
entitled IAN Essay on the Present
Distribution of Wealth in the United
States. published by Thomas Y. Gro
well & Co., in their library of econo-
mics series. The Springfield Republi-
can reviews it elatorately and says:
There is here presented problem
which the people of wealth and inhu-
ence must face whether they will or
no. 1t cannot be laughed down or
beaten down. We have only just seen
the first lifting of the standard of re-
volt against the present social order

good ground for complaint, SO surely
will this movement grow up 10 a day

and conscientiouly faced by the in

Proof from the Enemy.

The Augusta Chronicle says some Of
its esteemed southern contemporaries
are Ginning in with northern goldbug
papers about ''the silver craze being
dead" If they really think so their
dream will suffer a rude awakening.
Certainly Mark Hanna is not of their
opinion, for he has ordered new
campaign to begin forthwith, and is
about to establish headquarters at
Washington. We were willing to give
the matter a rest, but we can scarcely
pick up an exchange from the north
that does not contain assaults upon
the free coinage party, and already
the Republicans are splitting over the
single gold standard and information
al bimetallism. But perhaps the most
significant proof of the vital charac.
ter of the silver question comes from
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who,
in recent interview, uses these mem
orable words: "The Republican party
comes back to power, burdened with
great responsibility. 1t promised the
people that its restoration would be
attended with individual and nation
al prosperity. If these results should
not follow, it will speedily fall into
disfavor and at the earliest opportuni-
ty be deposed. The people will be sat.
isfed with nothing short of general
revival of business and safe and
sound condition of the public treasury.
If these conditions are not attained
without much delay the cause of free
silver will receive fresh impetus, and
in 1900 become an alarming If not a
resistless force. A sound currency.
with closed mills and idle workmen
will not meet the public demand.
There must be a restoration of good
times and if not attained under sound
money there is danger that the people
will resort to any method, however
questionable, which gives promise OF
relief. Something must be done. and
that something is such legislation as
will insure full treasury and pros
porous people. This accomplished, we
have heard the last of the silver ques-
ton. Without it the contest OF 1896
was but a skirmish compared with the
battle to come in 1900"

Kansas Alright.

Some OF the goldbug New York and
Chicago papers are saying ugly things
of Kansas just because that State de-.
feated the Republicans horse, foot and
dragons. The fair-minded Spring
field Republican shames these critics
thus: "Other points of comparison
between Kansas and our two imperial
cities would be interesting. For ex-
ample, there is four times as much
church. going in Kansas, in proportion
to the population. as there is in New
York and Chicago; four times as much
sobriety, and four times as much NOR:
al cleanliness. If more than half OF
the people of Kansas want cheaper
money, they have not yet developed
'fnanciers" who become millionalres
by railroad wrecking and breaking
the laws. If Kansas has her Peffers,
New York has her Jay Goulds. ANY
observer with half an eye can see all
these things"

There is an increase OF $50, 344 or
nearly 80 per cent, a very handsome
increase, and much larger than the av-
erage throughout the country. AL
though defeated, the Democracy even
in Kentucky is much stronger in point
of numbers than it was four years
ago. The only states where there was
a decrease in the Democratic vote are
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and
Virginia. In all these states. save
Virginia, the loss was cue to the fact
that there had been an exciting state
election Immediately before the ma
tional one. This inevitably tires the
people of politics, produces reaction
and cuts down the vote. In Georgia
the unfortunate nomination of Wat
son injured the Democracy. In Louis
lana the Australian ballot cut down
the vote, but no one would venture to
suggest that the local Democracy is
not far stronger than it has been for
many years. Here and there the old
struggle between the Democrats and
Populists was kept up; but with the
possible exception Of North Carolina
the result of the election was'to bring
back many Populists into the ranks of
the Democracy, and to strengthen the
latter. Mr.. Bryan not only polled a
larger vote in the South than Mr..
Cleveland, but received larger plu-
rality.-New Orleans Times-DemC-

Murdarnd by NIaxicana.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Private
advices received in the city today from
the American colony at Metlaltonca,
in the State of Pueblo, Mexico, gave
definite information OF assassinations
by Poems, which the Mexican govern
ment has until now been able to keep
secret. There are several Californians
in the colony and in view of recent
murders they are fleeing to this coun-
try for their lives. The Mexican
government has sent troops to this
country in hope of capturing ths as
sassins, who during the past four
months have murdered three Ameri-
cans in cold blood. The colony was
formed about four years ago and num-
bers 200 souls.
