Cheers Then; Tears Now.

The administration managers should
take an hour off and carefully ponder
upon two or three things. A year ago
this time hundreds of thousands of
Americans gathered around the bull
letin boards and read with eagerness
and amidst resounding cheers every
bit of war news. To-day there are few
bulletins, and the bulletines that are
posted are read by few. And the few
who read them shake their heads
sadly and move silently away. A year
ago we were fighting war for hui
manity and for the honor of the old
flag; it was a war for liberty. To-day
we are waging q war against apeople
whose only offense is that they seek
liberty and were so anxious to secure
it that they would not wait and take
chances with horde of scheming
political tricksters whose patriotism
plays second fddle.to their selfshness.
If the administrations managers
want to know how different the peo-
pie feel now let them watch the bull
letin boards. No cheers now; only
tears and mournful shaking Of heads.
No rejoicing now; only an expression
of wonderment that this free repub.
lie should be waging war against
another people seeking liberty

SHOT DEAD BY A MOB
Lynchers Take the Life of an Al
legged Murderer.
TRAGEDY In A JAIL AT CLINTON, ARK.
VIII Hardin, Imprisoned on Charge
of Murder In December, 1897,
Is RiddIed with Bullets
in His Cell.

Clinton, Ark, April 19.-Monday
morning between twelve and two
o'clock was enacted the final scene in
the terrible Patterson tragedy which
took place on December IS, 1897, in
which Hugh Patterson lost his life and
several other members of his family
were seriously wounded. mob of cit
liens took the law into their own hands
and shot Will Hardin, one of the Patter-
son murderers, to death in the cage at
the county Jail.
Lee Mills, prominent young man
and once deputy sheriff of Van Buren,
county, and VIII Hardin were arrested,
charged with the Patterson murder,
Several attempts to lynch them were
frustrated and an attempt on the part
of their friends to liberate them from
Jail resulted in guard being killed.
Mills was convicted on Hardin's testi-
mony and he paid the death penalty sew
eral months ago. Hardin was convicted
at the September term of court and the
case was appealed to the supreme court,
which granted new trial AT the
March term he was again convicted and
sentenced to hang May 8. No appeal
was taken, but a communication was
asked of the governor and granted.
When the people learned that eNecu-
tive clemency had been granted there
was much excitement. About SO we'll
armed masked men went to the jailer,
commanded him to go and unlock the
jail, which he did under cover of shot
gun. The jailer and night guard were
marched inside the Jail, when one of
the mob who had acted as spokesman
emptied the contents of double-bar-
relied shotgun into Hardin's head, blow
ing it almost entirely away. The mob
then fastened the jailer and guard in
the Jail and left as silently as they came
No demonstration of any sort was made
and it was some time before the tow,
knew what had occurred. The coroner
returned verdict that Hardin came tc

hands of unknown parties

Mrs. Kelley of Conshocken, Penn,
had appropriated pig that was
claimed by her neighbor. Mrs. K.
placed the porcine in her pen, raised
the American flag over it, and when
the neighbor came for his pig knock
ed him down with a clothes pole. She
was arrested for an assault and set up
as defense that the complainant was
making disloyal attack on the flag
of her country. The jury acquitted
her. Why not? If it is disloyal to
haul down the flag that has been rails
ed over territory that has been acquir-
ed without the consent of its inhabi-
tants, as in the Philippines, why not
equally so when it has been raised
over wrongfully acquired pig? Is
not the principle the same whether
the flag be defended by a clothes pole
or rapid fire gun over a pig or Ma.
Mia? At least Mrs. Kelley was equal

what to capital would tend toward
abolishing the trust in manufacturing
enterprises, without in the least
Gripping their efficiency.
Finally, the money trust, is one of
the formidable evils of the times, and
with the financial legislation sought
in the banking interest, combined
with the other trusts places the liber.
ties of the country and the perpetuity
of free government in greater peril
than any armed rebellion the country
has ever been called upon to suppress.
No form of money should be per-
mitted except that issued by the gov.
eminent itself and every dollar issued,
whether of gold, silver or paper
should be made full legal tender at
its face value for the payment of debts
public or private. Banks should con-
fine themselves to exchange and loans
dealing exclusively in money created
and issued by authority of the gov
eminent. 1t is common to attribute
the evils enumerated and which infiict
society to the manifestations of
human nature and therefore unavoid-
able. This is mistake. These evils
are in consequence of invaded rights.
Unless government is competent to
protect the weak from encroachment
upon their rights it sadly fails OF its
mission.
Such public utilities as Transports
tation and telegraph lines, should be
owned by the people, that is the
government, and conducted solely in
their interest, and the issue of money,
the sovereign authority over which is
given exclusively to congress should
not be farmed out to individuals or
corporations, but should be used sole
ly and exclusively for the creation of
money for public use of the people.
This done, and the tariff revised so
that no article of manufacture con-
trolled by trusts, would be protected
against foreign competition, and the
power of these combinations would
come to speedy end.

PUBLISHERS WILL FIGHT.
VIII Contest in Courts the vnlidit.
of the California Newspaper
Signature Law.

San Francisco, April 19.-The news
paper signature law as passed by the
recent California legislature goes into
effect to-day, and as many papers in
the state, including all the San Fran
cisco dailies, will pay no attention to
it, there will probably be some lively
times for California journalists. The
law provides that all articles published
in newspapers and which reflect on any
persons character or tend to hold him
up to ridicule or contempt and those
rejecting on the memory of the dead
shall be signed by the writer. The pen
atty for violation of this law is fine
of $1,000 for each offense, $500 of the
fine going to the person who brings ac-
ton against the offending newspaper
The newspaper publishers hold that the
law is unconstitutional and will fight
it in the courts.
