MONDAY EVENING, AUG. 8, 1897.

The EXPERIENCE of the world from
the dawn, not only of recorded, but OF
traditional history, is to the effect tina
there must be assassinstions, but also
that there is woe for the ~asssssIns. The
latter must be, if not wholly, at least
nsrtially insane, for save the accom-
plishment of their crime, the object
for which they profess to commit It,
rarely or never succeeds, while they in
yariably suffer for it personally. The
Spanish premier was ~assassinated yes
terday, but that crime naturally tends
to strengthen the opposition not only
of all conservative, but of all right
thinking men, to anarchy and to the
Cuban instruction, to both of which,
it is attributed, while the death OF
the wretcbed criminal is assured. Puo
lie and instantaneous death may be
glory sufficient for men with such un-
balanced minds, but a dose or W OF
the common whipping post, bsfore Inc
execution Of the sentence, would Do an
effective deterrent, not only to assss'
sinations, but to all other deliberte CAPT
tai crimes.

tSygse A MILITARY EXECUTION.

A military execution, with all the usual
accomplishments. took place at Glenwood,
Ca, on Saturday night. The e1ecutioners
were thirty farmers and residents Of the vi.
cinity. and the victim was a young colored
man by the rsme of Nathaniel Mason, who
attempted to assault Mrs. Powell, wife of q
reputable and wealthy physician. DR.. Pow
ell caught Mason and held him while the rest
of the family ran for assistance. They
alarmed the neighborhood and quite a large
crowd collected. DR.. Powell turned the me-
gro over to them. Nearly dead with fright
the negro was taken into an open field not
more than a quarter Of 8 mile from the scene
of the assault. The crowd had no rope snd it
was decided to shoot the prisoner. BE was
too weak from fright to stand up and was
seated with his back to q large pile Of stones.
The mob then drew up with guns and pistols
twenty feet from him, and at a signal from
one of their number sent thirty bullets into
the criDging body Of their captive. He was
praying when the fusilsde struck him and le
fell over dead. Some of the mob shot into
tue corpse until it wa riddled with bullets.
Mrs. Powell is very i'll from the result of
shock and may not recover. None of the
members Of the meb were masked or made
any attempt at disguise.

COLONEL EAsTHAM's CAsE.-A dis
patch from Parsons, w. Va, says:
The third grand jury in the case of Col.
Robert W. Eastman, the slayer ofFrank
Thompson, brought in an indictment
for murder Friday night last. This &C.
ton caused great excitement, as it was
the impression that the jury, like the
proceeding ones, would disagree. Jud.
ge Holt dischared the petit jury until
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. The
first grand jury indicted Eastman for a
m~isdemeanor, which Judge Holt would
not accept, and the second grand jury
could not agree ON any kind of an in
dictment, Notwithstanding the Judge
laid down the law to them and instruct.
ed them as to their duties in the matter.
In their feilure to bring in an indict
ment Judge Holt was much provoked
and discharged them and had a third
grand jury summoned, with the result
above stated.
At Grafton, w. Va, Saturday, John
T. McGraw, one of Eastham's attorneys,
occurred from Judge NJ. B. Dent, of the
Court of Appeals of West Virginia, sit.
ting in chambers, a writ prohibiting
Judge Holt from proceeding with the
trial of the case. The case will accord.
ingly come up before the Supreme

LONDON, August D. Comment
ing on the interview OF the
New York World with Secretary Sher'
man, the st. James Gazette says: "Sec.

senile decay. But, after all, Mr.. Sher.
man represents America and we are
certain all international courtesies will
he observed" In conclusion, the St.
James Gazette repeats its recent warn.
ing that this is q dangerous line of
policy to follow and that some day
Great Britain may call upon Washing
ton to ''back up its bluff"
The Globe on this subject says to-
day: Secretary Sherman bad better
rid himself of the idea that Uncle Sam
is going to boss the show, either on the
gold fields or in the fisheries. We are
not ready to follow every quarrel with
blows; but, when we strike we strike
hard and the idea of our being afraid
| of O third rate naval power like the
| United Statfs could only have occurred
to a lunatic or to Mr.. Sherman. Judg
ing from his latest performance we may
charitably assume that the rumors that
Mr.. Sherman is suffering from mental
| disturbances are correct"
The u%tterances attributed to Score
tary Sherman upon which the com
ment of the London papers is based
were as follows: England is a great
country, but it is not always safe to as
sumo that she is ready to follow up
every quarrel with blows. She quar-
rels oftener than she fights. 1t would be
exceedingly difficult for her to fight US
all alone about our seal catching.
Russia and Japan are in a similar posi-
ton, and any quarrel between the Uni.
| ted States and England on this score
would in all probability involve those
other two countries"

MRS. GEORGE W. GREEvER, who is
known in Kansas as the mother OF
prohibition" 10 that State, now says the
p~rohibitory law there is a farce and a
failure and is not accomplishing the
purpos for which it was enacted.
What Mrs. Greever says of the prohio'
itory law in Kansas, agrees with what
not only most OF the women, but most
of the men also OF the whole coun-
try, say of such laws in their respective
States. 1t is easier to get whisky than
bread, and the experience of everybody
is to the effect that those who want
liquor can only be prevented from
drinking it by the grace of God, and
not by the laws of men. The most ef-
fectiye of all human laws against the
use of liquor is q high license tax but
the law makers are too much afraid OF
the loss of the low GROCERY vote to lay
any such tax.
