Mr.. CROWFORD'S LETTER.

We are glad to print elsewhere to-day
q letter from Hon. w. T. Crawford, of
Haywood, with reference to the law
passed by the last Legislature-making
imprisonment the penalty for failure to
pay tax.
Mr.. Crawford seldom writes for the
press. and never except when he has
something Of Importance to say. He is a
wise and courageous public man who
has no personal ambition to crafty. He
believes that it is the purpose Of the
Republicans and assistant Republicans
to deceive the people, and that it is the
duty of every patriotic man to meet
them ON the threshold and prevent it.
They are already so frightened over
their bad law that they are afraid to
attempt to enforce it.
In a private note to the editor, Mr..
Crawford says: 81 feel like we will be
able to redeem to State in the next fight
If no mistakes are made and see no
reason for our making any,"

A DEFICIT ALREADY--P

II sn;te of the heavy importations
ao during July to escape the payment
:, increased duties imposed by the Ding
Low act the fiscal year starts off with a
deficiency of nearly eleven million dol
lars. The receipts aggregated So9'oZ''-
36s %. which is ten million dollars more
than the normal receipts, the recelpts lor
the previous July being $29,o29' 2o9.oo'
The expenditures for the month aggre-
gated $4S, $4,000. as against s42'ooo,-
46s O5 for July, 1896. The New York
Herald's Washington correspondent, who
collected these figures, adds:
more than $5,O00,OOO of this IN
crease is on account of public
works under the direction Of the war
Department brought about by the
large appropriations of the last Con-
gress for river and harbor improve
ments. OF this amount $3,5OO,OOO was
paid in lump for the purchase OF

nearly 100000 more than July last
year, and indicates tina the estimate
made by the Pension Office two years
ago that pensions would begin to de-
crease during this year was not well
founded. On the contrary the effect
Of the policy Of the new administra-
tion in removing some of the require
ments as to evidence to substantiate
pension claims is being seen already,
and the pension expenditures for the
current year will be the heaviest in
the history of the government. The
appropriations, which is the same as
for last year, is more than Sal ,OOO,-
600. 1t is inevitable that there must
be deficiency appropriation in addi-
ton, which will bring the total PEN
sion expenditures for the year to
more than $15O,O00,000."
The same correspondent estimates that
the receipts for August will be far be-
low those of July.
Keep your eye on the pension appropri-
alton. 1t will grow just as fast as the ne
cessity Of the Republican party requires.

in reply to their criticisms, Mr.. Black
burn writes:
"The people OF the North are bigger
| fools than we take them to be if they
accept as correct reflection of public
sentiment in the South the professions
of certain papers on the lynching ques-
ton. The people of Georgia favor
lynching. Those who contend that
lynching is confined to the lawless ele-
ment are lot of Internal liars, who
take the people of the North for lot
of fools.
1--WE might as well be plain and hon
est about the matter. If their conten-
tons is true, that the people forming
such mobs are lawless and unrepre-
sentative. why is it that these men or
some of them are not sometimes pun
ished? The Governor offers rewards,
but the oldest inhab never heard
of one being claimed or paid.
an the case of the Griffin lynching
there was the most perfect order, and
it is well recognized fact that in the
crowd there were graduates of the
State University and some of the best
people of Georgia, all of whom would
compare well with the civilization of
any country on the face OF the globe.
There is nobody to prosecute these
men, for it is impossible to get grand
jury in Spalding county to indict them"
Why was not he negro lynched in Kit
trells? Because the people of North
Carolina are the most lawabiding peo-
pie on the face of the earth. They are
a people who have control even of their
righteous Indignation. They want no
blood on their hands and no stigma on
their State provided hanging follows
the most repellant of all crimes. They
reflect that under the Watson law, in
troduced in the General Assembly by
Hon. Cyrus B. Watson, the Governor
is required to call special term of the
court and have a speedy trial so that the
crime may be avenged without delay.
1t is to this law, and the law-abiding
character of our people-and not to the
presence of negroes about the jail that
Brodie is indebted for a trial in the
courts.

The attitude Of the negroes Of the
South toward the members OF their race
who are guilty of this assault has been
one that has done more to injure the race
in the eyes of the world than anything
else. With rare exceptions-so rare as to
make the exception regarded as almost
miracle-there is no expression from
negroes Of denunciation of the men of
their race who are guilty Of the crime
for which lynching is practised.
They are loud in denouncing lynching
and make such to do about it as to ad-
NIT the conclusion that they do not re-
gard it as the worst Of crimes. The
Washington Post has noted this dispo-

TREE TRUNK TWISTED.

And fheBig Tree Trunk Was Torn in Two
About Ten Feet from the Ground.
During the heavy downpour Of rain
yesterday afternoon, just at the time
when the skies suddenly darkened so
ominously and high wind sprang up,
a big elm tree at the corner of First
avenue and Main street, West Haven,
was snapped in two at point about
ten feet above the ground. The trunk
did not appear to be decayed, and the
tree, 1t was thought by people who
visited the scene of the wreck, must
have been caught in small but furi-
Gus whirlwind. None of the other trees
in the vicinity suffered. The tree trunk
was about two feet in diameter.
1t was remarked by many people in
the city yesterday who remembered the
time of the Wallingford tornado and
the devastation 1t created in that town
that the skies when they suddenly
darkened looked very much as they
did when the Wallingford tornado oc-
Cured.

INHUmAN TREATMENT or INSANE.
Startling Revelations of Cruelty in Penn
sylvania Penitentiaries.


Philadelphia, May 21.--To-day's ses-
sion of the legislative committee inves-
tigating the management Of the state
penitentiaries was sensational. Judge
James Gay Gordon of the Philadelphia
court of common pleas, who is endeav-
oring to have established a separate
institution for insane convicts and who
has been making war against the east
ern penitentiary, was the star witness.
Judge Gordon recently appointed a
commission to look into the alleged
cruel treatment of insane patients at
the institution. He was examined at
considerable length and he made serious
and direct charges against the prison
directors, the warden and others con-
nected with the management of the
prison.
He said the official reports of the
prison We're filled with falsehood and
that he could prove that the treatment
of many convicts had been brutal and
cruel He said the institution reported
that there were ten insane patients
there in November last, and that an in
vestigation made by him showed there
were fifty insane convicts in the in
stitution at that time. OF these, he
said, nine are now in insane asylums
and one Is dead from the result Of cruel
treatment at the prison.
Thirty-six Of the insane convicts, he
added, are still in cells in the prison.
He instanced the case Of McCue, a pris-
oner whom he had ordered to be sent
to prison to the Norristown state in
sane asylum, and who died, as alleged
by the judge, from a beating received
the night before his removal from the
penitentiary. He told of another in
sane convict, a colored man named
Prentice, who for three months had
been tied to the prison steam pipes
| every night.

SENIOR DUPUY DE L0ME'S REPLY
To Secretary Olney's Offer of Mediation in
Cuban Struggle.

Washington, May 21.--The reply Of
Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish minister,
to Secretary Olney's offer of mediation
made on behalf of this government con-
tains the following language indicative
of the attitude of the last administra-
ton;
'"The government Of his majesty ap-
preciates to its full value the noble
frankness with which that Of the Unit
ed States has informed it of the very
definite opinion it has formed in regard
to the legal impossibility of granting
recognition of belligerency to the Gu
ban insurgents.
Indeed, those who are fighting in
Cuba against the integrity of the
Spanish fatherland possess no qualifl-
cations emitting them to the respect,
or even to the consideration, of the
other countries; they do not, as your
excellency expresses it, possess any
civil government and organized with
known seat and administration of de-
fined territory, and they have not sue
ceeded in permanently occupying any
town, much less any city, large or
small
Your excellency declares in the note
to which l am now replying, with
great legal acumen and spontaniety,
that it is impossible for the Cuban in
surgents to perform the functions of
regular government within it's own
frontiers and much less to exercise the
rights and fulfill the obligations that
are incumbent on all the members of
the family of nations. Moreover. their
systematic campaign of destruction
against all the industries of the island,
and the means by which they are work
ed. would of itself be sufficient to keep
them without the pale of the univer-
sally recognized rules of international
law.
His majesty's government has read
with no less qualification the explicit
and spontaneous declarations to the eff
feet that the government of the United
States seeks no advantage in connec-
ton with the Cuban question, its only
wish being that the lawful sovereignty
of Spain be maintained and even
strengthened, through the submission
of the rebels, which, as your excellency
states in your note, is of paramount
necessity to the Spanish government
for the maintenance of its authority
and honor"

FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Insurgents Dynamite a Train-Ofdcial
Record of War During May.


Record of War During May.
Havana, May 21.--Captain General
Weyler arrived yesterday at Cienfugos.
The insurgents have dynamited and de-
rallied an exploring engine on the rail-
road between Cristo and Songo, prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba, and after
ward fired on the train which followed
it, plundering and burning three cars.
The remainder of the train put back
to Cristo.
The local guerilla force attacked the
insurgents, killed five Of them and re-
captured the engineer of the exploring
engine and three railroad employees who
had fallen into the hands of the insur-
gents. The guerilla force had a lieu
tenant killed and the insurgents, in an
other skirmish with the guerillas, lost
from ten to twenty killed.
During the month of May, up to date,
according to official reports, the insur-
gents have lost 224 men killed and the
troops have captured six prisoners and
1853 rifles In addition it appears that
two armed insurgents have surrendered
to the Spanish troops during the same
period.

here awaiting the sheriff's convenience

found concealed in his bed, and he ad-
mitted it was with this he had expected
to brain the sheriff.
He was handcuffed and taken before
Judge Morrow, who increased his SEN
tence to ten years and ordered his I'M

coolly asked the judge if his sentence
could be made heavier and when told
no he denounced the judge in the foul
est language and called him the vilest
of names He was taken back to jail.

SENATORS AND THE TARIFF.
A Caucus to be Held Monday Mainly t.
Limit Time of Debate.


Washington, May 21.-The republican
senators will hold caucus on Monday
after the adjournment of the senate to
consider various questions in connec-
tion with the tariff bill. The first ef-
fort will be to devise plans to expedite
the consideration of the bill Some of
the schedules are Objectionable to many
of the senators, and the suggestion has
been made that it is advisable to settle
such differences in caucus rather than
in the open senate.
The principal object of the caucus,
however. is to agree upon q plan for
the limitation of the time for debate,
and under the present rules it is recog-
nized that this can only be done by mu-
tual consent. What the tariff leaders
will first attempt is to secure an agree
ment among republican senators to re-
strain any desire they may have for
general speeches, and thus throw the
responsibility for whatever delay may
occur upon the opposition
So far as agreed upon the programme
is to have Senator Aldrich make his
statement on Monday or Tuesday of
next week. and to follow this by imme-
diately taking up the schedules and
making no other set speeches on the
republican side Of the chamber. If this
plan could be endorsed by a caucus 1t
would of course be materially strength
ened This agreement may be difficult
to obtain without some amendments of
the bill, but the advocates of the eau
Gus plan believe that these changes
may be secured in caucus and the work
expedited.
There are now indications that the
debate may not be so greatly prolonged
as at first seemed probable. The demo-
Gratis, populists and silver republicans
all aver that they will consume no un-
necessary time with speeches. The
democrats profess to be especially anx-
ious that there should be no delay. The
democrats will also hold q caucus soon
to decide upon a line of action with
reference to the tariff, especially on the
subjects of amendments. A democrat
ic member of the finance committee ex-
pressed the opinion to-day that a
month would be sufficient to discuss
the bill.
