- Grain and Chaff.

< PRESIDENT MCKINLEY at Philadel-
phia June 2, 1897: t'Let me tell
you, my countrymen, that resuscita-
tion will not be promoted by recrimi-
nation. The distress of the present
will not be relieved by distrust of
the future. A patriot makes better
citizen than a pessimist. And we
have got to be patient. Much as we
want to move out of the old house, we
cannot do it until the new house is
finished. A tariff law half made is of
no practical use except to indicate
that in a little while whole tariff
law will be done, and it is making
progress. 1t is reaching the end and
when the end comes we will have
business confidence and industrial
activity. Let us keep steady heads
and steady hearts. The country is
not going backwards, but forwards.
American energy has not been de-
stroyed by the storms of the past. It
will yet triumph through wise and
beneficent legislation 81 ....~>

The Decision Announced This Morn.
ing--Johnston VIII Hang Next Mon-
day--The daIIows and Rope Are All
Ready.
Special to The News.
RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. 2.-Gover-
nor Russell this morning announced
his decision in the case of Monroe
Johnston, sentenced to hang at Char
lotte, Feb. 8th, for burglary. He re-
fuses to interfere in the execution of
the sontence, and will neither pardon
him nor commute the sentence to
life imprisonment.
A letter was filed in the executive
office from many citizens of Char
lotte asking that the law be allowed
to take its course.
ALL IN READIN EsS.
Sheriff Smith has been proceeding
with the preparations for the hang
ing of Johnston just as if the matter
were settled, and the arrangements
are about complete. He will be
hanged with the same rope that has
been used on a number of similar oc
casions in Mecklenburg, but a new
gallOWs has been erected for the con-
demned burglar.
The sheriff has had a great many
applicants for admission to the hang
ing, which will not be d public affair.
THE ''NAJoR" INDIGNANT.
Sheriff Smith is hunting for a
subject to try the new gallows that
Monroe Johnston is to use next week,
and the Observer intimates that
"Maj' John Wilson, the command
ing officer Of the color d division of
the Sons of Rest, would be the prop
er man for the position.
That parsonage is justly indignant
and sends THE NEWS the following
card:
"Dear Sir: l saw D notice in the
paper this morning, speaking of the
scatfold that Sheriff Smith has made
for Monroe Johnston, that which
my name is grouped with it. l do
not know who the writer is, because
he signed himself with an alias, con-
sequently l do not know who it is.
If ne is too cowudle to sign his name
he will, if he is a gentleman, use his
alias and oblige the writer.
"JOHN ". WILSON"
This should be sufficient to settle
the matter.

So Says Mr.. CIanton, one of the Con-
testees Case VIII be Decided Next
Week.
Messrs. W. S. Clanton and NJ. B.
Williamson returned from Raleigh
Saturday They have been there for
two V seeks looking after their con-
test for the seats of. Messrs. Reid
and Ransom in the legislature.
Messrs. Cianton and Williamson
went to Raleigh on the eve of the
Senatorial election. 1t was the pur-
pose Of the Pritchard men to have
them seated in time to vote for
Pritchard.
A News reporter asked Mr. Clan
ton as to the committees decision in
regard to their contest. He said
that the committee met Friday
afternoon to decide the matter, but
at the request Of the Democratic
n embers final action was postponed
until Tuesday to give the Democrat
ic members time to file a minority
report.
Mr.. Clanton seems to be confident
that Messrs. Reid and Ransom will
be unseated, and circumstances
would seem to indicate that this
will be the result in this case. The
matter will be finally decided next
week.

THREE OF MEGKLENBURG'S PASSED
AWAY THIS MORNING.

Death of Mrs. Pstssy Runter-Mr. Hugh
Peoples Dead.-AIr. Isaas Mason Passes
Away.
The unusually bad weather Of the
past two weeks has caused a large
number of cases of la grippe, and
pneumonia, and these have proved
peculiarly fatal to aged people.
Nearly all the deaths recorded recent.
" have been from this cause.
Three aged and well known resi-
dents of Mecklenburg passed away
this morning.
Mrs. Patsy Hunter died at her
home in Mallard Greek township
this morning at six o'clock. She
was eighty.six years old. and had
been in her usual health. Her
death was quite sudden and unex-
pected. and came as a shock to the
family. She was the widow of the
late Mr. Joseph Hunter, and the last
remaining daughter-in- law of Mr..
Henry Hunter, the founder of the
Hunter family in this section. She
was well known throughout the
county, and leaves a large circle of

of Providence township, died at his
home this morning at eight o'clock.

BADLY BURNED.
MRS. BURNETT MAY DIE FROM HER
INJURIES.

Her Clothing Caught from an Open
Stove, and She was Burned from
Head to Foot.
Mrs. Burnett, wife of Mr.. Samuel
Burnett, who lives in Dilworth. was
probably fatally burned Saturday.
She lis now at her home in
serious condition, and it is thought
the chances are against her recov-
ery.
There is an open stove in Mrs.
Burnett's sitting room, and this
morning, while engaged Ill her
household duties, she went too near
the stove. Her clothing caught,
and in moment was in light
blaze. She found she could not ex
tinguish the flames unaided, and ran
out into the backyard for help. A
negro man employed around the
house was in the yard cutting wood.
He saw the situation and ran to
Mrs. Burnett's aid, but was unable
to put out the fire until she was
badly burned.
The neighbors gathered in few
moments, alarmed by the cries Of
the unfortunate woman, and did all
they could to relieve her sufferings.
They did all they could to aSsuage
the burns until the physicians ar
rived.
DIR. II. M. Wilder was called but
could not be found, and DR.. Nc
Manaway was called in; later Or.
Wilder arrived.
Mrs. Burnett is burned almost
from head to foot.
The physicians think that owing
to the large surface of the body
burned that her recovery is doubt
full.
Mr.. Burnett is connected with the
the Southern Card Clothing Co.
Mrs. Burnett is a native of England,
and is about 63 years old.

made to stop Mr.. Barrett on point
of order, but Speaker Reed with a
grim smile overruled the point.
According to republican gossip,
one of the surest ways to get an aspl-
rant for Cabinet honors turned down
by Mckinley, is to get him endorsed
by Senator Chandler. 1t said that
Mckinley breads nothing so much
as that he may by accident do some
thing that Chandler wants him to
do, or appoint somebody whom
Chandler wants appointed.
Senator Allen took occasion to re-
ply to the various rumors saying that
he would vote for the Republican
tariff bill, by saying: 81 have said
that 1 believe the proposed tariff
measure of the Republicans ought
to he permitted to pass, if it has suf-
fcient votes after reasonable de-
bate. This does not mean, however,
that 1 will vote for the Republican
tariff bill. On the contrary, l shall
vote against it," In other words,
Senator Allen occupies the same po-
sition towards the tariff bill that
Senator Jones and other prominent
Democrats do-that no filibusterlng
shall be INDUCED in to prevent its
coming to vote. 1t was just the
same with the Monetary Conference
bill which was passed last night
Although it was considered mat
ter of doubt, the Republican mana
gers had hopes that some of the
silver Repu blican Senators might be
persuaded to vote with their old par
ty when the new tariff bill comes up
for action at the extra session of
Congress. They no longer indulge
such hopes. They know that not
onl T will the silver Republicans not
vote for the tariff bill, but that they
will vote against it if their votes can
defeat it This has been fully de-
termined upon since the Republi-
cans resorted to such extraordinary
tactics to defeat Senator Dubois, of
Idaho, as q punishment for having
followed bis convictions and the
wishes of his constituents by having
supported Bryan and silver in the
late campaign.
