HEAVY ARTILLERY
ENGAGEMENT.
General Lawfon's Troops Forced

FILIPINO'S MASKED BATTERY.

Manila, June 49, - The first
regular artillery engagement since
the Filipino war began, occurred
this morning when the insurgents
opened fire from masked bat
terry near Las Pinas. They were
answered by six guns of the First
artillery.
In few minutes the gunboat
Helena and the monitor Monad-
mock joined in with all their guns.
The firing began at nine O'Clock.
The first shell fired by the rebels
fell into the ranks of the First
Artillery, but only one man was
injured by it.
General Lawton soon came up
with the Twenty-frst regiment.
He took up position directly be-
tween the masked battery and the
boats in the bay. So heavy was
the firing from the enemy that
Lawton's men were forced to re-
tire. They rallied again, however,
and advancing captured the enc
my's first position. Heavy firing
again caused them to retire to
cover.

Sardis, Miss, June l3.-Simon
Brooks, colored, was lynched by a
mob of 500 negroes near here,
having been taken from jail some
time between midnight and dawn
The crime which was thus
avenged was most atrocious. A
negress named Armistead, while
returning from shopping tour to
her home, was assaulted by Brooks
and another negro.
The woman was outraged, her
throat was cut, she was severely
beaten about the head, and her
jaws were tightly tied to prevent
her breathing. Her body was
then concealed in some rubbish.
The woman rallied sufficiently
to give the alarm and the names
Of her assailants. Part of the
goods taken from her we're later
found in a trunk belonging to
Brooks.
The mob, which was composed
entirely of negroes, did its work
quietly. The white people knew
nothing of the affair until hours

| After what was said and done about
pensions at the recent meeting of the
| Grand Army in Philadelphia it is not
surprising to read that the new COM
| mander of the Grand Army means bust
ness in regard to pensions, Upon his
return to his home in Watertown, New
York, Colonel Shaw made a speech in
which he outlined his policy" saying
that great deal of his time will be
given to pension legislation, declaring
that the old soldier is entitled to last
Ing consideration" asking, what If
the pension roll is large?' and answer
ing his question with the argument that
''the old soldiers saved this nation,
and that their reward should be COM
mensurate with their services" He
added: If the burden should prove too
heavy, l am in favor of patriot pen
sion bond issue, so that only the interest
would have to be met from year to
year. Let posterity meet the bonds
when they mature. Why not? The
only proper that a part of the burden
should fall on posterity.
This is frank and comprehensive per-
haps little too much so to be wholly
wise. The people of this country love
and respect the Grand Army, as they
have abundant reason to, but If the
pension issue really becomes burning
somebody will ask Colonel Shaw if in
saving the country he and his noble
comrades didn't do a good thing for
themselves as well as for other folks
and posterity. There will also be UNI
pleasant talk about the price the non
combatants ought to pay for being
saved, compared with what other coun-
tries have paid for the same service.
Then some natural selfshness may
come into the discussion 1t will, we
suppose, be acknowledged that "all that
man hath will he give for his life"
but there are quite few people who,
after their lives have been saved, are
not willing to give all they have for the
great benefit. The old soldier certainly
is entitled to lasting consideration, as
Colonel Shaw says, but as things are
in this selfish world, it is possible for
the old soldier to demand what will be
considered too much by a wicked and
generation.

call itself trust. but it means 70 do
some of the things that the Elevator
trust has done. 1t has promoted nine
| ty-two new farmers elevators this sea ,
son in Minnesota and the Dakotas, and
| 1t is estimated that they will get about
| 10000 900 bushels of wheat of the new
crop. 1t is intended that this wheat be
| under the control of the business agency
| and consigned to commission men on
| the boards Of trade in Minneapolis. Du-
luth and Chicago, who are friendly to
the enterprise, The railroads Of the
States mentioned are granting sites, and
some will not permit any except far
mers' elevators to be built along their
lines. The capacity of these elevators
ranges from 1000 to 5000 bushels each,
ing stock of about $40 per share. Usual
ly about 100 farmers become stockhold-
ers and pay for their elevator outright.
Then they appoint board of directors,
who borrow from the local banks $1,000
to $4,000, which is used to buy grain
They pledge themselves to sell daily If
they have car load and they attach
draft for three quarters of the value of
the grain in the car to the bill of lading,
and with this money buy grain next
day Only on these terms can commits
sion firms receive consignments. The
ultimate object is to establish a farm
ers' cooperative elevator at every sta
ton within the grain belt and to build
three large terminal elevators, one each
at Duluth Minneapolis and Chicago. A
large elevator will be built at Duluth
soon on ground owned by the farmers,
with a capacity of 100000 They will
charge one-quarter cent storage for the
first ten days and only one-eighth cent
for each additional ten days The bus
mess agent has secured the co-opera-
ton of two large railroad lines, which
will build the elevators for the farmers
with a view of securing the haul of the
grain.
In addition to this there is plan to
federate all the farmers societies under
the name of the National Farmers Fed |
Grafton. Then it is hoped that all the |
farmers will stand on an anti trust plat
form and make uniform and systematic |
efforts to secure legislation that will be |
of direct interest to agriculture in a |
non-partisan manner, by inducing each |
political party to INCORPORATE the de- |
mands of the farmers in their respective
platforms, and refusing to support such |
political party as refuses to pledge.
The farmers and their friends seem to
be learning. Ii they can knock out the
trusts which they consider antagonistic
to themselves and make a trust that will
well protect their interests they will be
the people.

Some question has been raised as to
the constitutionality of the proposed
amendment to the North Carolina con-
stitution disfranchising colored voters.
A careful study of it by Republican
LAWYERS is said to disclose the fact that
it's provisions do not contravene the
fifteenth amendment to the United
States constitution or abridge the rights
of the black man to vote on account
of race, color or previous condition of
servitude,' but simply establish a quail
ification of suffrage. 1t is pointed out
that several hundred colored voters
qualified to the suffrage in North Caro-
lima prior to 1867 will be protected in
their rights under the proposed amend
ment which in this particular makes no
discrimination and establishes no color
line.
