A Reign of Terror!
JEFFERSON THE SCENE OF
STARTLING INCIDENTS.
House and Store Set Af1re, and
Highwaymen on Stolen
Horses, a Week Later, Make
Things Lively at Midnight.
Second Attempt Unsuccess-
full.

During the past week, quiet
and Staid old Jefferson, this
county, has been the theatre of
most startling incidents and its
name has been heralded about
the country in Associated Press
dispatches. The inhabitants of
that town are for the most part
industrious and hard -workin o
people and ordinarily fear only
the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
but affairs are such now that a
feeling of unrest and suspicion
pervadeS this ordinarily peaceful
community and all are on the All
cire of weariSome anxiety.
On Thursday morning of last
week at an early hour, the store
room and dwelling house, belong.
ing to Mr.. Daniel G. Shaft, was
discovered to be on fire and soon
was a mass of hlackened emberS
and ruins. Mr.. Shaft diScOvere d
the flames. He and his family
live directly over the store and
the Odor of smoke aroused him
from sleep. He fastened to
wake his family and rescue them
and what valuableS he could and
then with neighbOrs tried to sub
due the flames.
An iron bar found by an open
door i'll the rear of the store told
how the fire had occurred. Burg
lars had done their daStardlv
work only too we'll. This is the
second attempt to burn Mr..
Shafts property and the last sue
ceeded. No clue to The perpertra
tor of the outrage can be dis.
covered. The loss was about
$4,000, partly insured in the Mu-
tual Company of this city.
This was only the beginning of
the reign of terror. On Wednes-
day morning last about the same
hour burglars played their FRANKS
on Jefferson again, this time
in bold and defiant manner.
Although the attempt was unSuc-
cesSiul, the excitement and con.
Sternation prevalent in the vii
lage was most intense.
The store of Mr.. Lewis O..
Whip was the object of the
burglars greed, this time, and in
all probability the attempt would
have been success had not a
neighbOr heard the noise, and
raising a window, fired several
shots from a revolver at the rob
berS. The thieves decamped, when
their work was interrupted ON
horseback. 1t developed, later
that several horses were taken
from the farm of Mr.. p. l.. Har-
gett, near Feagaville, the night
previous. The farm is tenanted
by Mr.. James b. Davis and he
was awakened by dogs barking.
He fired off his revolver as Il
warning to any providers and
went to sleep again. Next morn
ing he found the horses absent
from the stable. They were later
found in Il field on the farm of
Mr.. Butler.
This affair from beginning to
end is one of the b0ldest and
most desperate that has ever oc-
Cured in this section. Had the
thieves not been Interrupted, they
would have soon done their mali
cious work. The people of JEFF
ferSon think the persons who set
fire to the residence of Mr.. Shaft
last week the same ones who tried
to rob the Whipp store. The au-
thoritieS are OH the lookout for
the robbers.

Admiral Dewey, the man who smashed
Spain's fleet Of war vessels in Manila
Bay, Thereby achieving the grspdest
naval victory ever known, Ia opposed
to the warfare Of the United States
against the people Of the Philippine
Islands. In an interview with cor
respondent of the London Daily News,
last Monday, he said:
~ have never been in favor of VIC
lence towards the Filipinos. Tho
islands are at this moment biockaded
by fleet, and war reigns Ia the in-
terror. This abnormal state OF things
should cease. | should like TO see
autonomy first conceded, and then an
nexation might be talked about. This
is my opinion. 1 should like to see
violence at once put stop to. Accord
ing to my view, the concession Of self
| government ought to be the most just
| and most logical solution"
And Admiral Dewey's view is the
view of the brave man and the states
man. 1t is the view OF the man who
was on the scene; who knows the PEG
pie; who sympathizes with theii
aspirations for liberty and self-govern
ment, and who struck the blow thai
practically released them from the crue
yoke Of Spain. And having done this
he does not wish to see the United
States take the place of Spain as tn,
oprressor of people who have beel
fighting for three centuries for freedom
and Independence.
Admiral Dewey's views are sharet
by nine.tonths of tho soldiers who hav
engaged in the Philippine campaign
and who speak from actual experience,
ard direct contact with the people
They conform to the trite opinion o
Gen. Funston, the gallant soldier, tina
there is need of "more diplomacy an,
less gunpowder" in dealing with tn
situation. They arc in accord with tn
spirit of Justice and fair play.
Dewey, Funston and our brave sol
dicrs 10 tho Philippines are opposed t
the war policy Of the administration
Their opinions are sound aud thei
advice practical. Should not the I'D
ministration give heed to this exper
and DISTINGUISHED testimony?

Yesterdays news from the Transvaal
is not assuring President Kruger Of the
Transvaal Republic, in an interview,
declared that his position was best do
fined by the s3d Psalm, and the SD
Psalm calls upon tho Lord to show His
hand for war. On the othor hand,
many women in South Africa are unit
ing in q petition to Queen Victoria
praying for peace, but Victoria can do
nothing. Kings or Queens no longer
rule England absolutely, as In the
days Of old.
II Is said that with recruits from
over the borders the Transyaal would
have about 10000 men at Its disposal,
whereas the most the British could
throw on the frontier at the start would
be so, 900, though, of course, this num-
Der would be materially increased
within month. No one can doubt,
however, what the outcome will be II
war prevails. In the end Great Britain
would conquer.
1t cannot be denied that to the I'M
biased mind the attitude OF the Trans
vaal in the pending controversy is stub
borply wrong. The issue is the Status
of the Outlanders, or residents Of the
Dutch Republic who do not enjoy citi-
zsnship there, being disqualified by
harsh restrictive laws. What these

former State Treasurer-as suitable

Knowing him for years we have no

better choice can be made by the party

for Congress by reclamation at the con,

In the view of the Dover Index. it is
difficult to see why Kent and Sussex
counties would not derive moral and
financial benefit from State work.
house. The main objection hitherto
waged against such an institution, it
says, was the first cost of erecting tho
necessary buildings. dc. The mooted
question was not whether the counties
would be benefited financially but
whether the State could afford this
first expense. With the workhouse
once established and paid for it was
generally conceded that the cost Of its
further maintenance would be less than
that required for three separate county
jails, After all, this last proposition
is but plain example in simple
arithmetic.
The Index also calls attention to the
pertinent point that "the finances OF
the county are made up OF taxes which
every citizen must help to bear, where
MS those OF the State are composed Of
license fees, taxes on corporations and
the like. II therefore the State con
afford workhouso many citizens will
be relieved from taxes which they are
now called upon to contribute in order
to support the county Jail. But the
arguments in favor of State insti.
tuition of this kind cannot be gauged
solely by dollars and cents. There.ii
moral benefit to be gained by it
creation which is of the highest i'm
portance and Of more than any none,
value.
These are sound views. And, beinI
| justified from IL moral AS well as
financial standpoint, the State work
house ought to come. and doubles
will come in the near future. An,
tho entire State, not any particula
county, will reap the benefit Of such
practical institution.
