have never known people to recover so
soon from defeat. Although they were
defeated, believe they were right, and
am more convinced Of the ultimate sue
cess Of the cause.
Elections do not settle questions. Ex-
perience does. Arguments are analysed
and people decide by ballot which theory
they will try. The money question was
the paramount issue in the last cam
paign. The tariff reformers forgot the
tariff in favor of money. Democrats
left us more on account of the tariff
than on the money question. Republi-
cans came to us more ON account Of the
money question than ON account of tariff.
According to the result of the election
the American people will continue the
gold standard four years more unless
foreign nations come in and help us do
what we ought to be men and women
enough to do for ourselves. During the
next four years the people will do what
they have not done before--they are go
ing to examine events as they are re-
lated to this question. The people were
uncertain on the money question until the
convention met. Study led them to the
conviction Of the right.
During the next four years the people

hcan promises to Republican fulfnment.

Newbern, N. c., April 7.-(Special.)-
The city was startled to-day by the cir
culating of petition for signatures COM
muting sentence passed upon the negro
murderer Bobo in the criminal court here
Last month. The jury found Bobo guilty
of murder in the first degree. and the
court sentenced the murderer to hang
May H. 1897 until dead. Now one or two
busy people are throwing a petition in the
face of law-abiding citizens, begging their
signatures, which will be submitted to
His ExcelIency Governor Russell, asking
him to ignore the decision Of an honest
court, and change the death sentence to
Imprisonment for life.
This will be transmitted to the Govern

pie that witnessed this cold blooded muir

1t was the most awful murder Of it's
character ever witnessed in this city be-
fore Women in the grand stand were
excited for a time and hid their faces
from the awful scene. Cries OF string

women OF the murderer's own color. 1t
was scene that will linger in the vision
of every individual that saw it. And yet,
with all this still fresh in their memory,
parties are working to rob the gallows Of
its just rights.
Should our Chief Executive commute
this death sentence passed by court Of
justice, it will be another incident cited
where lynch law is encouraged, and
courts not recognized. Lynching will
never cease as long as desperate charac-
tens are allowed to go free. Society

when Governors and courts fail to re-
cognize this fact, why the people are
forced to take the law in their own
hands.

new quarters last night, and to-day the

public in the new public building. The

long looked for is completed. and is one

Rare Dog from China.

A real blooded Chinese dog, such as
it is said, has never before been with.
out the walls of the palace of the EN-.
peror of China, arrived at Tacoma on
the steamer Pelican from Tien-tsin
China. The dog is of the species known
as the Pekin pug, which is kept ex-
clusively within the emperor's harem
at Pekin. 1t was brought at Tien-tsin
several weeks ago from a Chinese serv-
ane, who stole it from the royal gar
dens. The dog is a natural pet and an
ideal house canine. It's body is long in
proportion to its legs. The legs ap-
pear to be double-jointed at the knees.
1t is said that were it known where the
dog has gone the man who stole it
would surely lose his head.-San Fran
