Tennessee Asylum.

Tennessee Asylum.
Memphis, Tenn, March 31-Alice
Mitchell, who killed Freda Ward in
the spring of 1892 in this city, died
this morni0g at the Bolivar insane
asylum. The young woman was
placed on trial for murder, but her
attorneys pleaded present insanity
and she was ordered to be sent to
the asylum. She was 10 apparent
good health there until few months
ago, when she began to waste away,
and to day death brought an end to
her remarkable career. At the asy-
lum she was a model patient and
gave no trouble. Once some one
dared her to climb to the top of a
water tower 120 feet high and the
following night the young woman
escaped from her room, went to the
top OF the tower and took a bath
The murder of Freda Ward was
a worldwide sensation. The re-
mains of Miss Mitchell will be
brought to Memphis and buried in
Elnwood, not far from the spot
where the victim OF the knife she
welded now sleeps.

The steamship Australia sailed

THE ARTFUL POLITICAL DODGER.

Editor Pecksniff again eYemplifes
his characteristic insincerity by de.
voting a large portion of his editorial
space to an effort to prove that Mr..
Reagan, of Texas, did utter words.
which we have already quoted in these
columns, to the effect that Thomas
Jefferson was the great American i'm
perialist
The Register has shown conclu-
sively, that jefferson was anything
but an imperialist of the kind now
clamoring for the annexation of
the Philippine Islands. jefferson S
grand achievement was the annexa-
ton of territory already a part of this
continent contiguous to the then
States of the Union, whose people
were the same racially and held the
same political and religious beliefs,
and whose manifest destiny was to be
annexed and united under one govern
ment.
But Pecksniff, the Hypocritical. de-
liberately ignores the argument, and
devotes his time and ingenuity to
proving that Mr. Reagan, of Texas,
did say so and so, which is a matter
of NO special consequence to any one
but Mr.. Reagan, whose constituents
are proably capable of dealing with
him.
The truth is our hypocritical and
slippery contemporary of Fourteenth
street, in aiming to back I'D his boss.
Senator Elkins, an out and out imperi-
alist, overreached himself in an effort
to create the belief that the great
founder of the Democratic party was
an imperialist of the Elkins stripe.
The Register nipped that effort in
the bud by showing the vast difference
between the ideas of Jefferson and
those of the Wall street spectators
who are trying to grab all the terri
tory loose ON this or the other side of
the world for their own personal en-
richment at the expense of the coun-
try. Now Old Hypocrisy, unable TO an
swer the point or defend the position
of himself and Elkins, tries to shift and
obscure the issue.
How like Pecksniff, Our contempor-
airy is quite an artful dodger. but no.
quite artful enough to escape the plain
issue in this case. His effort to do SO
is in itself an acknowledgement of the
untenable nature Of the position of the
imperialists and advocates of territorial

ism.

ANOTHER RULING

Regarding Stamps on Express Receipts

BY the int4rnal Revenue Commissioner
Regarding Stamps on Express Receipts
Washington, August Information
having reached the internal revenue
bureau that certain express companies
were shipping packages. of money with
opt affiXing revenue stamp thereto,
the commissioner has made a ruling
that money shall be regarded as
goods for the purpose of the act, and
therefore a stamp must be affixed to the
bill of lading or other evidence of re-
ceipt given therefor.
The ruling heretofore made that
leach bundle of newspapers having a
different destination should have a diff
ferent bill of lading and be stamped
is modified in view of the opinions of
Senators and members of Congress that
such was not the intention of the law.
Therefore when the tax of one cent
is paid on the general bundle each
package in the bundle, the commits

and delivered at intermediate points,

and guidance Of the affairs Of man Will
never tolerate teaching that lays the
cruel axe of science to the root of their
most cherished religious beliefs and
even assails the sacred institution Of
marriage, the cornerstone of civilized
society.
Science may be right, and religion
may be only a passing error arising
from ignorance of the construction
of the universe; there may be no
such thing as Immortality, the institu-
ton of marriage may be simply the
creation of human law, and polygamy
and polyandry may be just as moral
as monogamy; but the wisest men OF
to-day will carefully cherish all these
errors and this Ignorance" as the
only safeguards of human society as
it exists, and they will be especially
careful in keeping these scientific

deadly disease.
DR.. Raymond's fault seems to be in
trying to teach too much, and to carry
the students beyond the point of sci
entific research and discussion that it
is desirable for them to go. 1t will
be better that the rising generation
be not brought up atheists and disbe-
levers in established morality ard re-
iigion, and, speaking from the same
utilitarian point of view, it is best
that our future men and women
shall live in fear of God and have
due respect for the conventional laws
of morality if we wish society to re-
main on safe foundation.
As to the efforts which it is alleged
are being made in the faculty to
down" Mr. Raymond the Register
will have more to say in the future.
Suffice it now to point out that they
are even more undesirable and insid-
iously disorganizing in their tenden-
