Frank William Rollins was born in
King George county, Virginia, on the
Goth of November, 1849. His parents
removed to Stafford county when he
was year old, after which they remov-
ed to Washington City, where young
Rollins was raised. 1n those days Afro
American children could not attend
public schools! But young Rollins took
private instructions Until the breaking
out of the war, and the first school he
attended was a branch Of the Harvard
university taught by an old Quaker and
his wife by the name of DR.. Turner.
Young Rollins was a pupil of Mrs. Turn
er's class, his zeal and aptness for learn
ing won for him a great interest of his
teacher in his advancement. But young

UTAH LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION.

1t Is a good thing for the State that
1t is proposed to embrace within 1t
both sheep and cattle men. and all of

ing of interests between these two in

believe that this friction may be much

tatives of both.
At the present time costly litigation.

interests, respectively. although under

icent thing for the entire State If the

OF the objects OF the organization Is to

A bulletin from San Quentin an
nounces that at 1895 this friday fore
noon the trap was sprung on Durrant.
the San Francisco murderer. and thus
closes one OF the most remarkable
criminal cases of the century. The
horrible. CHASTITY and sacreligious fea-
lures attending the crime of which he
was convicted: The remarkable zeal
and ability with which he was de-
fcnded the character OF the evidence
against him. which was purely cir
cumstantial, the astonishing persist
ence and resource, in legal strategy, Of
his attorneys; and above NIL his pro-
testations OF innocence, coupled with
what purported to be n plous and un-
faltering trust that heaven would bring
about his .vindication In time to save
his life. are elements that have Great
ed international interest In his case.
From the hour OF his arrest up to
his last on earth, Durrant spoke of
himself as n martyr to circumstantial
evidence, and conversed as n sincere
Christian OF the highest moral rectitude
and prUfoundest religious convictions
might well be expected to under like
circumstances. His apparent piety did
much toward creating doubt AS to his
guilt, and many people will question
whether great mistake has not been
made In his taking off.
But the public officers of California
who have had to do with his case are
unanimous In their support OF the ver-
dict OF the jury, and In the opinion that
his piety was either simulated. or that
II was an attribute of II man who.
while possessing 1t, was yet capable of
committing a most atrocious crime. He
has attracted much attention as n
study in mental and moral science, and
much disappointment has been ex-
pressed by scientific men because his
brain is not to be dissected.
The laws delay Is ended. Its penalty
has been inflicted, and the case OF
Theodore Durrant. about which 80
much has been said and written. will
soon pass from the public MIND. But
his parents, who are most worthy peo-
pie according to all reports, will be
objects OF sympathy on his account as
long as they live.

ITO AND IL HUNG CHANG.

The announcement that Marquis Ito
is again the leading genius of the MI
kados government is not Indicative of
a peaceful turn of events in eastern
Asia. The marquis rose to eminence
during the late war with China. AZ
ter that event his opponents succeeded
In embarrassing him to such n degree
that he left the court and repaired into
exile. The emperor soon found, how
ever, that he could not dispense with
his services and recalled him and
showered honors on him. Not long
ago he was sent on a special mission
to Europe.
Marquis Ito believes that the destiny
of Japan Is to be In Asia what Great
Britain Is In Europe. and that his coun-
try must establish Its position by sue
cessful wars. He is evidently dis
ciple OF the Bismarcklan school, The
descent upon China was the first step
on the road TO greatness, but the sue
cess achieved does not satisfy Japanese
ambition. NJ. Ito believes that strug-
gle with Russia Is Inevitable. and the
fact that he Is. entrusted with the
reins OF the empire at this time makes
1t evident that the war sentiment is
again predominant among his country
men. The downfall of Count Okuma,
the advocate of peace. marks a great
change in Japnns policy.
OF not less Importance is the restora-
ton to power and influence OF Ii Hung
Chang in China. The policy of this
remarkable statesman is reflected in
an imperial decree recently issued to
the viceroys and governors of provinces
that schools be established in all the
larger cities where instruction be given
in the English language and in all the
European sciences. AS reason for
this 1t IL slated that China can re-
gain her former greatness only by
rising to the level of Europe. China
must give all her young men," the de-
cree says, -"an opportunity to learn
all useful knowledge and study all
modern Inventions This Is an i'm
mense step forward Possibly 1t is
decided on too late for the preserva-
tion Of the nation.
Incidentally II may be observed that
this decree Is an admission by pagan
ism that its philosophy Is vastly In
ferior. as civilizing force, to the
tenets OF Christian nations. And this
is truth which some Christian think
ers need to hear from just such a
source.

TWO STRAINS OF BLOOD.

There are two strains of blood
among the white Inhabitants of South
Caroina--two at least. One is brave,
generous. hospltable and sincerely re-
liglous: the other Is intolerant. tyran-
nioal, revengeful and murderous The
latter strain has been manifesting its
attributes to such an extent that homi-
cides have become so common as to
give the state very bad reputation;
and with Il view to checking the evil. it
was lately proposed that every clergy
man in the state preach against MUIR
der and all forms of unlawful homi-
eide, the sermons to be delivered on a
certain Sabbath. The suggestion calls
forth the following paragraph from the
Cleveland Plalndealer:
"a crusade has been started In South
Carolina against the evil OF homicide.
1t liz urged that some steps should be
taken by the good people OF that stute
in behalf of the sanctity OF human life,
else II will come to be known rs the
Cain. OF commemorative. It's record is
appalllngly bloody. 1t Is claimed that
during the last thirty-two years there
have been more men murdered in South
Carolina than that state lost In the
War of the Rebellion. For years there
has been a steady increase in the num-
beers Of murders. The record for 1897
approximates $50"
Undoubtedly the state of South Caro-
lima is suffering in the estimation Of
the civilized world on account of the
lynchinss and other tragedies that are
so frequently enacted within her
borders; and the lovers OF law, Justice
and good order should exert themselves
to subdue the cuatrary element in the
population. 1t was in South Carolina
that the monster OF notification at
tempted to enthrone itself, and that the
War of the Rebellion began. Both be-
fore and since the war, the state has
been noted for the characterization and
downright disloyalty of many of her
public men, while on the other hand,
from the time OF the Revolution until
now. she has abounded in men who
were true and brave.
Perhaps the homicides for which she
Is noted are but the outward manlfes-
tations of a struggle that is going on
with the ultimate result of securing the
survival of the flttest. But II human
life must be taken. 1t Is best to ac-
