Death for Train Robbers.

JEFFERSON City. Mo, Jan s.
A joint sessit n of the Senate
aud House was held today and
the returns for the November
election canvassed. When the
joint session was dissolved Gov
Stones last message was pre-
sented in each branch and read.
Adjournment was then taken
until Monday. The message
relates almost wholly 10 intvr-
nal affairs. OF train robbery
the Governor has this to say: .
'It surpasses all others in its
detrimental effects on the state,
hen such crimes occur with
frequently current that life and
property are unsafe within the
jurisdiction where they prevail
1t i, a crime which should be
absolutely extirpated. That
cannot be accomplished by pen.
itentiary sentences. The Thir-
ty-eighth General Assembly,
alive to the Importance of this
subject, made the crime a capi
tai punishment, however, was
left to th, discretion of the jury
Several convictions have heer
had since the enactment of th,
law referred to, but only peni'
ten iary sentences were pro-
nounced. ln my opinion thC
men whoperpetrate these crimes
should be hanged"

PROSECUTED FOR PIRACY.

It will be remembered that
some time ago the 'Three
Friends" the little Cuban fill
clustering steamer, was attack
ed by two Spanish war steamers
and that the former returned
the fire of the latter and drove
fthem off, after which she made
her escape.
| The United States govern.
ment, under the rue Of the
House of Cleveland, has now
announced its purpose to pro-
ceed against the AmericansWho
were on the vessel and took
part in the naval skirmish, as
pirates, the penalty of which is
death.
OF all the crimes he has COM
mitted against the Aneric4r
people since he was y o
Office this is the most ~ .E. .ay
that'Cleveland, the arch traitor
of this nation. has ever attempt.
ed. In speaking of this the
New York Journal voices the
sentiments of nine tenths of the
American people. 1t says:
President Cleveland h a s
obliged Spain in many ways,
has done all in his power to
save a corrupt and venal mon
archy from paying the penalty
Of its barbarous oppression of
the Cubans. He has put the
United States Navy at the ser
vice of the Spaniards, and has
trodden down the Constitution
IN order to balk the will of the
American people.
"But when be undestakes to
have six American Citizens
hanged by the neck until they
are dead because they beat off
Spanish armed vessels, which
sought to board their craft, he
exceeds his limit of power. The
Journal does not question the
zeal with which the Cleveland
administration will strive TO
send these men to the gallows
for the comfort of Spain, but it
thinks the United States District
Attorney of Jacksonville vii
have to send to Alaska for a
jury not absolutely certain TO
acquit the accused. E"
Til. re is not a monarcy on
earsh whose ruler has assumtl
as much authority as this trait
or Cleveland. II Queen Vic'
tcria had dared dictate legisla.
tion and ignore the will OF her
subjects as Cleveland has in this
boasted Gland of the brave and
.free," her head would have
rolled into the basket so long
ago that she would have been
forgotten. Thank God his reign
is nearing a close.

SENATOR rRITcHARD,s FLOP.

Senator Pritchard, who hop.

ed it is said, that he is in favor O

Senator Pritchard says:
I'm nearly every speech in ths

gave the public to understand tha
he had changed his views He j:
rep, rted not only by the news
papeIs, but by, those who hearc
him speak, to have USED enpres
sion like the following: Il have

and everything free but free ne
groes J." In short when he did no,
keep silent, he ridiculed and be-
h,.led free silver, which is ON }
one of the first steps to 6nancla
reform, more money and .elief.
Can any populist support q
man for the highest and most i'm

country, who expresses such
views? Besides the leading re-
publican paper in the state, edi
torially set forth that Senator
Pritchard had changed and would
in the future stand squarely by
the sound money platform oi
the National Republican part.
but that he would vote for free
silver till the 4th of next March.
The editor stated that he had a
letter from Senator Pri;chard on
this question aud that he was stat
ing his position. !" .A.

further:
I'm the first place no populis!

condition of affairs in Cuba. His
speech might have attracted more
attention had not everybody
known that he is making hard

mild attack Of jingoism, but he
seemed to be relieved after be had
offered a resolution in the House
giving Spain thirty days notice
that we should not only rccog-

maintain that Independence by
force, if the fighting in Cuba was

1t is very gratifying to North Carolina
Methodism to know that this noble insti-
tuition flourishes while so many male and
female colleges are struggling to live.
The large number of young ladies now
in attendance represent the best families
of our church in the State, and many of
them will bring honor to their homes and
new glory to an institution whose past
history makes it illustr:ous. and. whose
alumnae have adorned the chief places in
social and religious life.
Before our next issue reaches its read
ers the commencement exercises of 1897
will be over. President Peacock, who be-
lieves more in hard work than IN much

young and well-equipped teachers, has
