In some places in Spain, among them
vergara, where Coli, the anarchist,
was garroted, an old custom prevails OF
arresting the executioner immediate
" after the execution and charging him
with murder before the court OF justice.
sYes, killed = man." answers the exc
cutioner, "but did it in the name OF
the law, for the benefit of society. and
in obedience to the commands OF your
honor" Then the court discharges
him. saying that justice had been done.

The Barometer ana Weight

A man weighs less when the barom-
eter is high, notwithstanding the fact
that the atmospheric pressure on him
is more than when the barometer IL
low. AS the pressure of air on an or
dinary-sized man is about Is tons. the
rise of the mercury from 90 inches to
81 inches adds about one ton to the
load he has to carry.

Some of the methods are sufficiently

For instance, it requires 10 minutes IN
which to make deposit at bank. Ev-.
cry banking house has numerous chairs
outside the railing, and the visitor is
expected to sit quietly and cultivate a
spirit of patience while the machinery
is getting under way.
A customer who wishes to make a de-
posit goes to window and hands in his
money, together with memorandum OF
the amount. The employee behind the
railing counts the money and prepares
q receipt for it, adding his signature by
way of preliminary. Then small boy
takes this receipt up stairs and submits
it to an official, who studies it and then
ponders for awhile as to whether twill
be safe to take the money.

THEY WILL RESORT TO ANYTHING.

We published yesterday that Fusion
registrar in the Second Congressional dis
trict who is candidate for office, had
been caught adding names to the regis
tration list in his possession.
White men who, in order to Set office
put negroes above their own race will re-
sort to anything to win. They will not
only covertly add names to the registra-
ton lists, but will also permit Illegal
voters to deposit their 5allots, they will
import negro voters form South Carolina
and Virginia as. they did in 1885, and re-
sort to any other scheme Of wrong AMI
outrage to keep in office.
The Democratic registrars and poll.
holders cannot be too careful and too
watchful. The Fusion gang sees that it
is defeated ON a square and fair vote
and they will not scrupte TO commit any
crime to defeat the will Cf tie people.

/" CANNOT CONsClENTl0USLY FUSE. "

Lieutenant Governor Reynolds made
speech. at Ashore one night this week,
and after. the speaking, in reply to a
question as to whether the Republicans
and Populists would fuse in Forsyth, his
home county, Mr.. Reynolds said THE
POPULISTS CANNOT CONSCIEN-
TIOUSLY FUSE WITH THE RE-
PUBLICANS."
This is the opinion of every Republican
who fuses with the Populist pie eaters,
and it is the opinion of every man who
has even casually read the platforms of
the two parties.
The Populist State Convention passed
series of resolutions embodying the
principles of their party and reforms to
which they We're pledged. They autho-
rized their committee to cooperate with
no party unless it endorsed every one of
fixed distribution of offices. The Demo
cratic platform was in agreement with
the Populst platform upon all the ma
terial issues raised in those resolutions,
which were as silent as the grave upon
the question of White Supremacy. But
the Democrats did not agree to a divi-
sion of offices or to put the white ques-
ton aside, and there was no fusion. The
pie-eating committee has fused with the
Republicans, after that party has openly
repudiated every Populist principle, sole
ly upon the basis of office. To do this
they had to disobey the instructions OF
their State Convention.
Lieutenant Governor Reynolds is right
'The Populists cannot conscientiou:iy
fuse with the Republicans" And so say
thousands of Populists who will not &c
anything just to put few pie eaters in
office that violates their conscientious
scruples, and advertises them as profess
ing one set of principles and voting fol
a party that promises to destroy all the
reforms they advocate.

THE BONDS WILL BE PAID.

Every day brings additional proof that
the administration made Il serious blum
der when it did not end the war with
Spain by arms. This country did every
thing in its power to settle the differen-
ces with Spain without resorting to the
arbitrament of the sword. When, after
its splendid victories by sea and land.
it had obtained the right to dictate
terms, the President signed a protocol
in order to leave the matters open until
after the November election. That act
was a grave mistake as the higgling
now going or in Paris shows.

the United States would not pay the
