Educatlorally, and in all respects asso-
ciated with his long and honorable career
as a public teacher, President Andrews,
of Brown University, has been lynched by
a vigilance committee from Wall street
Ordinarily the dismissal of a College pro-
fessor and president by his trustees would
be a matter of minor interest. Under
present circumstances it becomes almost
a national issue.
What has been President Andrews Of
fense? He las been teaching that the
stItGtion OF the United States was right,
as certainly as il forms part OF the basic
law OF the nation. In philosophy and doc
tline President Andrews has the indorse-
rnent OF practically all the recognized polit-
ical economists of the world. From
every American point of view he is re.
enforced by the history OF his country,
which tells us in flaming letters that
whenever the people have enjoyed the
benefit Of a generous volume of money
there has been general prosperity, and
that whenever the opposite has happened,
whenever there has been contraction, there
also has been universal misery to all
classes, the money lenders and dealers
alone excepted.
1t is the exposition Of these principles
h..i adj.
Gated at Brown University which con-
stitutes the crime that President f. Pen
jamin Andrews has been officially lynched
for. 1t is a fine and notable expression
of what the PEOPLE have To expect from
their none masters. Our boys must be
poisoned with the virus of European gold
| mononetalIsm or the educational insti
tutions IN which they are studying are to
be starved. 1t is a nice thing, is Ii not9
made.
As between the citizens OF the United
States who stand by the faith and prac-
tice of the fathers, and the sordid, grasp
ing coDspiratOrs against our laws, rights
and liberties who are marshaled under
the foul yellow banner of Hanna and Have
meyer, the inevitable battle is coming, and
coming on the wings of the whirlwind. It
may be fought out bloodle ssly at the polls.
| God grant that it may be sol But If the
| tariff bin which Republican perfidy and
Democratic treachery has fastened upon
us should pour into the laps OF trusts and
monopclies the expected millions, and If
/ they should succeed again in purchasing
national elections by the expenditure Of
fifty millions In 1898 and a hundred mill
lions in 800, there viii be an outbreak in
this country compared with which the In
! dian mutiny was a Sunday-school picnic
and the French revolution a Moody and

mayor OF the city of Durham, N. c., was

Shields was a brave Confederate soldier

The challenge grows out of the dana ge

was put Oh the stand to prove Shields
character In giving his testimony the
witness was not positive in his answers,
and finally answered certain questions in

his case This greatly infuriated Shields,

There is a law in this State making

GREAT BRITAIN'S DUPLICITY.
Sharp Trick She Has Played Upon
Italy In Africa.

London. July 24.-The much-vaunted
Anglo-IIaiian friendship is apt to be put
to severe test before long, owing 10 the
fact that Great Britain has gained much
by the mission it recently sent t. A byssina,
the gain being at the expense of the
Italians.
Owing TO representations made by the
mission to Emperor Menelik, the latter
has deciired tc enter into treaty de-
limiting the boundaries of the Italian
colony or Erythrea, and when this fact
becoEies known TO the Italian public there
is likely to be trouble Notwithstanding
there is strong party in Italy who are
I'm favor of scuttling out Of Erythrea,
which has been a source OF tronble and
expense ever since Italy came into PCS
session of it. Since the Abyssinians so
thoroughly defeated the Italians, with
the result that much valuable territory
was lost. the idea of a colony in that part
of Africa has lost many of it's former warm
supporters, but it Is certain that much
