THE BRITISH "NIGGERS."
Brutal Murder of AborigiDes and the
Way Australians Look at 1t.

A great sensation has been caused at Perth,
Western Apstralia by the trial before the
Chief Justice (Sir Alexander Onslow of n white
sulatter paned Ernest Anderson for the MUIR
der of an aboriginal called Spider" and Of
two other aborigines, ''Bidtvh and ''Pclly."
In spite of the clrarcst evidence. and the
plainest direction from the Judge the jury
fused to convict Anderson of murder, and
brought in verdict Of mans laughter only. /
believe no white man has ever swung for n
black; ard one member Of the jury declared
he would sit week il necessary, but "he
would never hang white for few damned
niggers." Thereupon the others agreed. An
derson is said to have been introduced about
town as "ihe man who killed that lot OF mig
GERS His only regret was that he would not
be able to the race for the Perth Cup.
The chief justice said yesterday that ne tried
a similar case eighteen months ago, but then
only one black man was tlogged to death and
the jury acquitted the prisoner altogether.
The facts in this case are peculiarly revolt
ing, and the brutality revealed is Of on almost
incredible character. Seven aboriginals three
of whom were children, ran away from Bend
hua station in the northwest, which was man
aged by two brothers named Anderson. The
reason for their flight was said to be that the
sheep in their charge had strayed. and they
were afraid Go face the consequences. The
Andersons pursued and overlook them ut an.
other station twenty-fv miles off. On the
way back they were allowed no food, and on
reaching Bendhu they were tied ND while the
brothers had their dinner. Afterward the
wrctched natives were mercessly fogged.
"Csndy, Zone OF the adults, was first n tiacked.
Alexander Anderson beat him until no was
tired, and then his brother went on with the
thrashing "Spider. the eldest native tried
TO run away again, but was brought back and
securely Eticd by the legs and neck. Then he
was foyged with such violence that he died.
"Biddy" and "Poily" met with the Same fate.
Even the children, "Louic'' and Minnie"
one IL and the other g. were hogged with the
same NOTED rope.
Among tho local community at Bamboo
Greek the case was regarded with disgrace
full leniency. At the inquest the jury found
that tho aboriginnls had ''died from exhaus.

the Republican state ticket st the last
election said on the subject (Im not at
liberty TO give his nams):
"Out here Wa have the idea that New
York Is not a truly American city. We

country. We look at 1t as y place where

set up n cry that they will close q dollar

believe that the masses in New York love
our country as we DO. or rs we thins
true American citizens should love the
country. Still IL is true that there is to
DO seen on every hand n friendller feeling

Another representative stood by this
speaker. and he became aroused. He
broke in:
"I'll tell you." he said. what people
out here think about New York; they
think it great big sponge--a sponge
that In the greed fer IL oney nbsorbs all

Here is what one OF the proprietors Of
one OF the largest retail stores in Kansas
said in answer to question:
~ find that many people in Kansas
look upon Nsw York ss the home and
business place OF a rich set OF Yankee-like
men with q great lot Of invention and
peculiar ways of getting hold OF other
peoples money. They read exaggerated
stories about the poor there ana the
starving. and. being OF sympathetic,
whole-souled nature, believe these

such an absurd idea should be prevalent.

people, but find thar the ideas l rave in

Here Is what one Of ths foremost can
didates for governor at tho coming Re
publican convention had to say on the
matter:

BRUINS REVENGE.
How Grizz Bear Punished Man
Who Persisted i'm stirring Him Up.

The town Of Medicine Hat, in Assiniboia,
on the Canadian Pacific Railroad. had in 1894
an attraction in the shape Of n cautiye grizzly
hear. He was n hungry looking brute about
the size OF an ordinary COW, and was chained
to post in the centre Of strong log pen.
The nen stood beside the tracks, about 200 feet
from the station, and "A recent rainstorm had
made veritable mudt ole of il.
The bear was an object OF lively interest and
curiosity TO the people, but more partic-
ul0rly 10 passengers of trains which stopped
at Medicine Hat Co change engines.
One day eaily in August the east.houn nd
overland pulled in, and IN few minutes the
occupants of several cOacl "a were viewing
the grizzly, who was shutlling around his
quarters looking very innocent and uncon-
cerned. His paws and shaggy gray coat were
covered with mud, and bruin was not thing
OF beauty, still he appeared contonted, and
seemed to enjoy being on exhibition.
Now, n miscellaneous crowd of men has, as
a rule, at least one individual in it belonging
TO the class known ''smart Alecks." This
gathering was no exception, and the afore-
mentioned person soon manifested. him self. ..He
began 10y grunting at the bear, and followed
that up by throwing sticks and small stones
at him. Failing to excite him liy these means
he resorted to others. Fixing a handkerchief Oh
q stick he Haunted IL in bruins face and iick-
led him on the nose with il, then polSed him
in the ribs but, save an occasional srowl, the
bear did not seem to mind his tormentor. One
or two gentlemen now advised the funny man
to desist suggesting that his bearships pa
thence probably had limits ignoring the
friendly warning, the fellow waxed bolder,
and coming close up 10 The pen, thrust an
arm in between the logs. Then tho long -suf-
fering bear ssw his opportunity and improved
1t. Suddenly and with startling swiftness he
reared ON his hind legs mill he looned high
above the astonishsd man, and then, with n
deep growl OF anger, he struck iercely at his
prosecutor. For breathless second the man
stood bereft of the power Of motion then, with
scream * fright, he tried to draw back, hut
too late. The enormous Tear caught his arm in
n glaroinR fashion, shreddng his coat and
shirt sleeves, and scoring several ugly soratch,
in tho flesh, while an avalanche of mud land
filth descended on his luckless head, fairly oh.

tho whole upper part of lis person. The bears
revenge was complete. Swift and sudden jus
tice had been meted out, and with shaken
nerves and rrincd clothes the smart man madc
his way 10 the train, while some unfeeling
men ~ the crowd laughed outright, and the
grizzly lay down with what resembled a sigh
of relief.

that great saving could be made IL tho
