Waterville Mail: In one Maine city
at the present time there is plan be-
ing agitated to require travelling
theatre companies coming there for a
weeks stand to pay a license into the
city treasury. The merchants of that
city complain that the travelling COM
panies not only carry a good deal of
money out of town, but they take the
people away from the stores evenings
and in that manner cause a damage
to business. The merchants see no
reason why the travelling theatre COM
panics should not be required to pay a
license the same as a circus. There
certainly is some logic in the argument
of those traders, but there is some
doubt about the theatre going public
there taking kindly to a license system
that might work in the jumping of that
town by nearly all the theatre COM
panies on the road.

Is This a Civilized State?

We undertook to make extracts from

people to print them.
The tortures inflicted on the negro
before he was burned at the stake were

Comanche Indians, and they were
made the more awful because of the
greater intelligence of the torturers

farmers who had received word that
the burning was TO take place."

interest and without a sound of pro-
test, but rather with unanimous ap-
prevail and many expressions Of de-
light. When it was done, this is what
happened, according TO the report in
the Charleston Evening Post: BIZ
| Before the body was cool it was cut to
| pieces, the bones were crushed into small
bits and even the tree upon which the
| wretch met his fate was torn up and dis
posed of as souvenirs. The Negroes heart
| was cut in several pieces, as was also his
| liver. Those unable to obtain these ghast-

posse 3sors extravagant sums for them
| Small pieces OF bone went for twenty five
cents and bit of the liver crsply cooked
sold for ten cents. The crowd fought fol-
with knives secured such pieces OF his car
cass as did not fall to pieces. The chain
was severed by hammers the tree chopped
down and with such pieces OF the firewood
as had not burned were carried away as
| souvenirs"
During the progress of the burning
as we are told further:
"The road for half mile on each side o

but none of those nearer than 100 feet Of tn,

The Disgracing OF the South.

There is class of men in the South
who seem fstuously bent upon disgrace
ing their section. The latest instance
in which they have come to the front
is in the dissertation of church in the
city of Atlanta, and the attempt to
drive a faithful preacher from its
pulpit. Every inclination to declare
charity toward the southern people is
met with some new outrage at the
hands of these miscreants. If they
reasoned at all, they could not fail TO
realize that the wrong they are
doing is infinitely more a reproach to
their own race than to that which they
assume to hate and despise. But they
are incapable of reasoning. Blind saw
agery is, apparently, dominant above
anything else in their natures. With
all the ignorance of the African race,
it is superior to this portion of the
white race in what constitutes manli-
ness, as well as in the better qualities
that attend human civilization in its
other aspects Boston Herald.
