Times Democrat.
We gave the other day the view.
OF the governors of Virginia, South
| Carolina and Georgia on the sub
Ject of lynching, and their opinions
as to the best steps to be taken to
stop or abate lynch law.
Another Southern State which
has shown a great interest in the
matter has just completed an inter
estlng snd important experiment,
with the idea that justice, by being
prompt and expeditions, can over
come Judge Lynch and get rid Of
him as unnecessary and superfluous,
With the special view of abolish
ing lynching and securing a speedy
trial for certain class of criminals,
the North Carolina Legislature, at
Its last session, passed an act en-
towering the governor, on the CON-
mission of an offense likely to lead
to lynch law, to order special
term of court for the trial of the
criminals.
Such a case took place near
Raleigh only a few days ago, and
gave an opportunity of seeing how
this new law operates. The citi-
zens, when made aware of the crime,
telegraphed to the governor, who
oroered a special term of court to
meet two weeks later and hear the |
evidence, and appointed a judge of
a higher court to preside. In the
certainty that the accused would be
tried at once, and, if found guilty,
hanged within the next fifty days,
the people of the neighboring coun-
try made no attempt to modest him.
Judge Lynch did not make his ap-
pearance, and the prisoner is now
IN Jail awaiting his execution. ..
The North Carolina law has
worked we'll in it's first trial. It's
,ather an expensive way of abolish
ng lynching, for special term of
court to try a single case necessa-
lily will materially raise the cost
# criminal justice; at the same time,
the Southern States can get
Id of Judge Lynch by small in
rease in their judicial expenditures
hey would not .grudge the money.
t is doubtful, however, whether the
aw will work we'll in all ynching
'ases, and it will have to be tried
'ftener than once to prove that it is ,
panacea for all lynching ills.

INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL.
House Made Fair Progress With 1t
Yesterday-Cnrries More Than

washington, JAN 25.-After consuming
most of the time to-day in dispOsing of
District of Columbia business, the house
took mp the Indian appropriation bill and
made fair progress with it before the hour
for adjournment was reached. The bill
carries $1,525. 19l, which is $}6G.29i more than
the current law and s2l6.255 more than the
estimates Twenty of the seventy pages of
the bill were disposed of.
The conference report on the immigration
bill was presented and Mr.. Danford, of
Ohio, who has charge of it. gave notice
that he would call the report up on
Wednesday. \ bill was passed calling on
the war department for an estimate of the
cost OF water route from Galveston to
Houston, Tex.
MIR. Johnston, Republican of Indiana,
took advantage of the latitude allowed in
debate to read n speech in favor of an
carly reform of our banking and currency
| laws. He insisted that those who believed
the enactment of protective tariff would
restore prosperity would be disappointed
Mess there was thorough and adequate
revision of our banking and currency laws

Continued From First Page.

mary contest last summer in Mcpherson
county, Williams was taken up as Simp-
son candidate for representative, and by
that influence was nominated over Farmer
A. w. Smith, the old Republican war
horse. At that time. Simpson vouched for
him as the more finer man. and guar
anteed his Republicanism to be at least
eighteen carat. Williams was elected by the
aid of Republican literature ana money
supplied by the Republican state commit
tee. and his election was looked upon as
q Republican victory. Shortly after the
election the Republicans became suspicious
of his actions, but Simpson vouched again
for him. When the legislature convened,
they became more suspicious, because he
refused to caucus with the Republicans.
They finally discovered. to their sorrow.
that their suspicious were fully founded
when Williams was caught in the Populist
senatorial caucus and made to pledge him
self to stand by the caucus nominee.
The story just leaked out to-day of 4
roundup that occurred Friday night in Cy
Leland's room in the Copeland hotel on
account of Williams antics. There were in
the room Leland, Simpson, Lobdel, FitZ-
gerald. Try, Crum and a few other Repub-
lican statesmen and eXpectants. The crowd
began to Josh" Simpson over his find"
in Mcpherson county, and his ability to
select men on whom the party could safely
lean. He took it pretty we'll until Try made
a remark about Simpsons eighteen cara.
paste diamond Republican,, and then Jim
lost his temper. Urys remark made great
hit with those present, and great laugh
went up at Simpsons expense. This tend
ed still further to irritate him. While he
did not attempt to justify his Mcpherson
county crony, he was inclined TO aid the
Populists in still further decreasing the
Republican minority in the house by wip-
ing Ury. and not his district off the map.
A heated mixup ensued, which amounted
almost TO rough house. and but for the
pernicious interference of friends of both
terrible collision might have occurred.
The caucus broke up in great turmoil.
and 1t required the oleaginous diplomacy OF
Your Uncle Cyrus" and two quarts of
Doniphan county applejack to calm the
troubled breasts of the woud-be warriors.
The caucus had been called to consider n
measure for the. protection OF bankers
against gold brick swindlers. While this
was TO be general bill for the state, yet
it had special significance to Mcpherson
county, where II is claimed Mr.. Williams.
who is banker, recently went against
that old game to his sorrow. The trouble
originated when Ury made motion to add
an amendment TO the bill to protect Re-
publican politicians from gold brick
bankers, and Simpson took this as per-
sonal affront.
