Send HIM Back to Congress.

The man Gafford, who murder
ed f. B. Lloyd, widely and popu-
larly known as "Rufus Sanders, -
was convicted at Greenville, Ala,
on Tuesday, the 10Th inst, and
sentenced to hang for his crime.
A fee of $500 was paid to Con-
gressman Stallings, of Alsbama,
by friends of Lloyd, to make the
closing speech for the prosecution.
He made a speech which is repre-
sentated as grand and convincing,
and then acquitted himself with
still greater credit by handing the
$500 to the widow of the murder
ed man. No doubt our numerous
readers will be glad to know that
the murderer of Rufus Sanders"
has met justice. The dead humor-
ist is said to have been a quiet,
unassuming Christian gentleman.

Turbulent France.

The Gulf Coast Progress thus
picturesquely summarizes.the con
dition of France. The TINES
agrees with it except in one par
ticular, viz The whereabouts
OF Captain Dreyfus:
France is close to another revo-
luton. The mercurial nature of
her people is not wholly response
bic either. True they seem most
vindictive in persecution of the
Jews, presumably because the
Sheeny is too shrewd for them in
trade and has usurped the tinan-
cial and mercantile control of the
country. The trial is fast making
history and developing this latent
antipathy, Should Zola obtain
Justice by an acquittal a general
massacre of the Jews would fol-
low and 24O, 900 peaceful citizens
would suffer through this hatred.
This rancor has steadily intensi-
fed since the conviction of the
Jewish Dreyfus, who is now in
the jungles of tropical Africa, be-
ing confined in an iron cage under
strict guard. His conviction was
most questionable. To other ma
tionS Dreyfus appears to have to
have been made tho scape-goat of
the French army, And here is
educed the main cause of impend
ing revolution. France, while
nominally a republic, is really a
military and police despotism,
even as are Germany and Russia.

Won't Pass 1t.

The prospect for the passage of
a River and Harbor bill at the
present session of Congress is al
most hopeless, as will be seen
from the following dispatch:
Washington, Feb, 28.-It can
be stated positively that no river
and harbor bill will be reported
at this session of congress. The
house leaders are opposed to a
river and harbor bill, and the
friends of the bill on the commit
tee believe it would be better to
wait until the short session, after
the congressional elections next
fall. when a complete and compre-
hensive bill can be reported,
rather than attempt to pass an in
bill at this session.

THE AFTERMATH.

Mr.. VIM. S. McAllister, of Can
ton, upon whose evidence the edi.
tors of the Canton Times and Co.
piah Signal depended for the sub,
sanitation of their charges of de.
bauchery and corruption against
the legislature of 1897, now comes
out in q card addressed to the
State press, in which he states that
no did not inspire the charges, as
claimed by DR.. Passmore, but on
the contrary endeavored for more
than a year to keep out of the con
troversy, and was finally forced
by DR.. Psssmore to meet the issue.
He says:
81 accordingly gave him GER
tifoate that the charge was true,
and that | would prove it before
the Legislature as a whole'-and
not before a special school book
committee of Is, or Documentary
grab trap for the book trnst.'

man Mill of Suppression, and have
preferred over my signature spe-
cihc charges of debauchery against
two members of the Mississippi
legislature, with a view to their
prosecuting me in the courts 1or
libel. What could be
fairer than thisE"

gestion that ii the charges are false

ecution for libel. lie alludes to
She fact that ''bi3 enemies call him

boon a mystery why some man
with the capital did not go into
that business before in this section.
Mules are constantly in demand
here, as they suit the farm work
better than horses do. They can
be raised as cheap as mules further
north, for this section produces
grass and grain in abundance,
Cattle of the scrub kind are raised

Runs in the Family.

The Chicago Chronicle, which is
not distinguished for partiality to
Southern men and is especially
hard on the ''rebels," pays this
handsome compliment to a typical
VirginiSn of the best class
''During this period Of uneasi-
ness and alarm at Washington and
at Havana one man is furnishing
a conspicuous example of strong,
self-contained Americanism. The
conduct Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has
been admirable throughout, He
is the man for the place and for
the contingency. Since his ap-
pointment as Consul General at
Havana by President Cleveland he
has neither talked too much nor
too little. He curbed the inso-
lence of Weyler as he resented the
impertinence of the Junta agents.
The Spanish authorities sought to
find in his conduct or his corre-
spondence something to offset the
insolence of the De LONE letter.
They sought in vain. He has
been firm in the defense of his
country's interests, but circum-
spect in his language. He has
given no handle for criticism and
his presence at Havana to-day is
the best assurance that American
rights will be safely guarded, come
what may"
But after all, Fitzhugh Lee de-
serves no special credit for having
sense, honesty and patriotism.
These qualities are in his blood.
They have distinguished the Lees
for at least four generations.

TIMELY WARNING.

Gardeners are too apt to allow
their wishes to outrun their discre-
tion at this season. March, they
seem to argue, is spring time, and
their impatience for the time OF
flower and leaf often leads them to
forget the treacherous freezes that
come, sometimes when all the
world is q pink and white haze of
peach and apple blossoms, and the
last hint Of winter seems to have
disappeared. Many q disappoint-
ment comes from over confidence
in this, the most capricious month
in the year. The following useful
table shows that ice and snow
should never be forgotten until
after the first of April, at least:
cat this season, when gardens
and orchards are always moro or
less advanced farmers are constant
y apprehensive Of destructive
freezes, and SO uncertain is our
spring climate that this danger is
not past until toward the end Of

the following quaint but sound
advice to the negro race;

is warped and twisted. Reforma
ton is FIRST necessary. The negro
will have to undergo a complete
revolution before he can become a

a bath now and then, and there
are some who would rather die,
and, as bathing is not compulsory,
it will be long time before the
negro can or will live up to it.

Quail Shooting and Trapping.

Game birds have become &c
scarce in all this section of coun
try, that sportsmen have rarely
made good bags any time during
the passing season. They have
not only been thinned out by pot
hunters, and trappers and regular
sportmen, but we are informed
that dogs (of which there are hun
dreds too many destroy the nests
and the young birds in the breed
ing season. To remedy this un-
fortunate condition of things,
Marshall county has already taken
wise step, by making it unlaw-
tul to shoot OF trap quail except
in the months of November and
December. We think it would
have been wiser and better to have
made December and January the
open season, as may birds are not
grown in November, and we earn
SStly advocate the adoption of
such a measure by the Honorable
Board of Supervisors of this coun-
ty, limiting the shooting, netting
and trapping to December and
January, and if this docs not
cause a replenishment Of the stock,
then we should favor law pro
hibiting the trapping Of killing Of |
them for three or four years. We
also advocate an order that all |
dogs found destroying nests or
young birds be shot. We invite
the views of all lovers of field
sports on this subject. Our col
umns are open to them. Southern
The above refers with even more
force and pertinence to the over
lowed section, in many parts Of
which the quail were almost ex-
terminated by the high water.
The laws for the protection of the
birds are not enforced as rigid!y as
hey should be, and indeed are not
observed at all, except by the bet
.er class of sportsmen, the already
iecinated focks being mercilessly
destroyed whenever the pot hunt
" thinks he can escape prosecu-
ion.

MUSICAL MENTION.

Musicians are anticipating q great
treat in the appearance Of Nine. Bloom
field Zeisler. She has just returned
from her triumphs in Europe.
The great exposition organ will be
placed in the chapel during the Christ
mas vacation where it will be the pride
and joy of the university for many
years to come.
The next recital of the university
school Of music will be given by students
at tho chapel on Wednesday evening
next. All are cordially invited. The
hour is eight o'clock and the doors will
be closed during the performance Of the
pieces.
Now that the exposition is over the
Omaha papers are willing to give Mr..
Kimball u small portion Of the credit
for the magnificent music provided dur

connected with the department Of

Kelly ordered the band out Of the Audi
torium to play in the open air when the
Thermometer was below freezing.

world will look upon the last five
months ss really q sample of what
Omaha can stand in the way of musica
culture. The exposition started out
with brilliant month Of music June
was q musical fete--ft for the whole
country to visit and enjoy. There was
the Thomas orchestra and the Marine
band under Santelman. Some of the
finest soloists Of the country sang and a
number Of great oratorios were given.
That they were appreciated by the wild
and woody west was evidenced by the
large audiences which paid to hear them.
