THE BETHEL MURDER.

Mr.. s. N. johnson, of Bethel, was in
Yorkville on Saturday, and told the re-
porter the story of the killing of Joe
Tate by Gus Wilson in Bethel township
recently.
Wilson, it seems, was the husband OF
Tate's daughter, and having just COM
pleted term in the North Carolina chain
gang, came to Tate's house after the wo-
man. Tate objected to his daughters
going off with the convict, and it was this
objection that led to the killing.
During the holding of the inquest,
Wilson was only a short distance away ;
but there was swollen creek between,
and after Mr.. johnson had ridden the
several miles that were necessary to
reach bridge, the Negro was gone. 1t
is probable, however, that Wilson will
return to the neighborhood, and he may
yet be arrested.

MINORITY IGNORED.
The Republicans of the House VIII Ride
Roughshod Over the Democrats.

The Republicans of the House Will Ride
Roughshod Over the Democrats.
The question in the house last Fri
day was the adoption of rule which
would permit the passage of the new
tariff bill practically without debate,
recognizing their helplessness, the
Democrats had already decided not to
try to throw any obstacles in the way.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, set forth the
Democratic position torcibly and elo-
quently in his short speech against
that rule. He declared it his belief
that the sooner the Republican pro-
gramme was put into legislation the
better it would be for the Democratic
party, for that much sooner would the
futility of the proposition that pros
perity can be brought about by taxing
the people be demonstrated.
He protested against the arbitrary
action of the majority as embodied in
this rule, but declared the Democracy
was willing to abide the test of the
tariff bill as a prosperity restorer.
ut seems to me-" he said, Gin view
of these facts, that the authorities are
not ready or willing to execute the
DEGREES registered by the people in
presidential elections" Speaking for
the minority, Mr.. Bailey said:
"The passage of the bill will not be
antagonized by filibustering opposi-
ton. Knowing that we cannot pre-
vent its passage, we feel it to be the
best policy, from our standpoint, that
you should pass it speedily. If it shall
accomplish what you claim for it, the
president should not be deprived of
the benefits that are to flow from it.
If it should not prove to be what is
anticipated for it, the sooner it will be
repealed and the people relieved of its
unjust exactions.
~ never was more confident of any
event of the future than l am that this
bill shall demonstrate the futility of
the pretenses on which it is based,
and I firmly believe that you won't
/ live long enough to get patient hear
ing from the people on the absurd
proposition that you can make them
prosperous by taxing them. ZAP
plause.)
"We challenge you to pass the bill
because nothing can more certainly
prove to the people that you are un-
worthy of the trust now reposed in
YOU" (Applause.)

- Although it is foregone conclusion
that the Republicans will have their own
way over the tariff bill in the house, it is
not likely that they will meet with such
smooth sailing in the senate. The senate
has no boss. Neither party has an undis-
puted majority. The rules admit of fill
clustering without end, and the proba-
bility is that the senate will still be
hammering away at the new tariff bill
long after the house has forgotten about
its own indecent haste.

NO PHOTOGRAPH.

Sheriff Logan's banter to that fellow
out in Tennessee who claimed to have NJ.
R. Reese in custody, to "put up or shut
up" has had the desired effect. The fel-
low has shut up.
It will be remembered that one James
Alexander, of Lexington, Tenn, persist
ed by letter that he had in custody the
badly wanted body of Reese. Sheriff Lo-
gan asked Alexander to send a photo
graph of his prisoner; but this, up tc
date, Alexander has neglected to do, and
his claims are, therefore, no longer count,
ed worthy of attention.

- Assemblyman Lamonte, Of Chicago,
has introduced in the Illinois legislature,
a bill intended to prohibit the publication
in newspapers, of cartoons or other mat
ter tending to defeat or injure the chances
of any candidate for nomination or cleo
ton to public Office. And suppose this
bill should pass, wouldn't there soon be a
high carnival of corruption in Illinois
politics?

fact, however, that there is good deal of
politics mixed up along, and although
there should be nothing else, there is con-
siderably more in the controversy than
the principle of local self-government,
the ostensible cause of the contention.

CRUISE OF THE PEARL.
Cook Mul1ansy Proceeds Against the
Schooner for His Wages.

The schooner Pearl, Capt. Webster, was
seized on libel by Deputy United States
Marshal Smith Monday, to satisfy a
claim made by Bernard A. Mullaney
The libel was fled..through BENZ. Thomp,
son, ESQ.,, Mullaneys counsel. This Ia q
case arising out. of the cruise of the
Pearl with the dramatic company along
the coast of Maine and New Brunswick
the last summer.
In the libel. it is alleged: First that said
Mullaney shipped on sMay 9. 1897, rs
steward for voyage on the coast OF
Maine, at the wages of $35 month. BE
did not sign any shipping articles, but
remained as steward until Sept. 25th. AT
that date. the schooner was in port at St.
John, N. B., and while the libellant
was lawfully on shore by the permission
of the master, the schooner sailed with
out notice to the libellant, wrongfully
leaving him at the port so he was obliged
to return to Portland by steamer.
Secondly the libellant claims the high
est wages paid for similar voyage at
this port within three months Of May 6,
namely, s45 month. For the whole
cruise at this rate the claim amounts to
1919. He has received $75.73, leaving due
S143. 81.
The libel Is returnable October 9Th at
10 a. m. in the United States District
Court.
