GRAND OLD MAN.

Gladstone Writes Another Protest
Against the Crime of Europe.
LONDON, May 30.-Mr. Gladstone
has written a fervid letter to the
Liberal candidate who is seeking
election in the Petersfield division
of Hampshire, to fill the vacancy in
the House of Commons, caused by
the death of William Wyckham.
In his letter Mr.. Gladstone urges
that England should no longer be Il
party to the present policy in
Eastern Europe, where he said the
Holy Alliance, formed in the days
of his youth, has been renewed un-
der the name of the concert of
Europe. Continuing, Mr.. Gladstone
says:
Russia, Germany and Austria
are at their old trade again as the
foes of liberty and justice. France
is tongue-tied by her subserviency
to the views of Russia. Italy is
paralyzed by internal embarrass-
ments, and England, which ought to
be acting under her convictions, is
content to sit at the table with the
three Emperors and register their
DEGREES. The guns of British iron
clads have been employed to shed
the blood of Cretans, who were
struggling against Turkish tyranny,
and the blood of a thousand Chris
tians has drenched the soil of
Armenia, without penalty for the
great assassin who shed it, or against
his repeating the crime when he
finds it convenient. All this is &C
cepted by the people of Great
Britain

ever escaped the penitentiary.
Ordinary marauders are content to
rob "A bank, or swindle COM
munity. These brigands propose
to pillage the nation, and to compel
Congress to become their accom-
plices. The trust schedule will de-
strOy competition, annihilate the
beet sugar industry, and add to the
oppressive burdens of every citizen
of the United States, for the avowed
purpose of swelling the already in
ordinate gains of remorseless
monopoly. These are the perform
ances that explain populism, and
which, if not restrained, will make
anarchy possible"
All of which shows that Ingalls,
does not hesitate to contribute to
the troubles of the Mckinley
Hanna Aldrich prosperity produce
ers. Which is downright cruelty,
in view of the troubles they already
have.

YOUNG NEGRO FIEND.
Only Five Years Old but has Killed
Three People.

Only Five Years Old but has Killed
Three People.
GAINESVILLE, FLA, May "a
little negro boy in this county, though
only years old, is credited with
three murders, not to say an endless
amount of cruelty and torture in
flicted by him. When only years
old he set fire to his little sister,
burning her so that she died the
next day. AS she rolled over the
ground screaming with pain, the lad
stood by shouting with glee and polk
ing her with blazing stick. The
next year he killed his little brother,
older than he, by stabbing him with
a butcher knife. He stabbed the
little fellow in dozen places, seem
ingly to see how much blood he
could bring without killing him in
stantly. Last week he found his
fathers bulldog pistol on the table.
He hid it until his parents left the
house. Then approaching his broth
er, two years younger than he, he
pulled open his mouth aud putting
in the pistol, fired, SCATTERING the
boys head to fragments. He will
now be taken in charge and sent to
some asylum, but as the State has
no reformatory the authorities are
bothered as to what to do with him.

AND now comes the discovery that
the much heralded "air ship" was
made and operated ten years ago.
by one Prof. Myers of New York
state, and that neither Mr.. Barnard
of Nashville, nor the Nashville Elk
position, deserve any credit for it.
However, it is really much conten-
ton over very little, as the so-called
'air-ship" is little if any improve
ment over the ordinary balloon.

If our local enterprise should posi-
bly, be crushed, prices will go to

ence of its millions. There is
bright prospect of the speedy organ
izatiOn of cooperative Citizens
Company in Nashville, with which
our local company will connect, and
thus give us long distance commune

ing of representatives from thOus-

arrange for general fight against

a representative there at that meet

AN organized band of swindlers
with headquarters at Nashville and
agents throughout the Northwes-
tern states, have been showing old
cancelled Tennessee bonds on num-
erous victims. The bonds mention
ed were issued during the admistra-
ton of Comptroller John L. Gaines,
but were afterwards called in and
cancelled by punching two holes
about the size OF buckshot through
them, and were placed in the cellar
of the Capital. Sharpers stole them
out, pasted up the holes made by
punching, and placed them on the
market again.

were laid off, and as they filed out of

which was plastered on the wall of
the building, tore it into thousand
pieces, then ground the pieces into
the mud with their boot heels.

No Opposition to Mclean.
While the fighting for the head Of

Even the old Democrats who are in at

heads the delegation from Cleveland,
and several leaders from Cincinnati

Ex-Governor Campbell, who is here
