white folks wasn't in 1t. The colored
Republicans did not notice US ut all.
Wasn't that hard? After the convention
was called to order and the proper off,
GERS selected the fun began. One man
jumps up and says, "Mr. Cheerman, l
rise fer q pint Of order" The chairman
says state your point. Before he could
get through his ''pint" men from oil
parts of the house wanted ''pints Of or
der" So many "pints" until there were
more than two barrels of disorder when
all the "pints" were taken.
While the barrels Of disorder was run
ming out all wei the house some one
nominated Keys, Cruzat and Randolph
al delegates to the State and District
convention, and they were elected and l
suppose they went.

THE STARS AND BTRIPEs-rHE EN-
BLEM OF OUR COUNTRY.

The Mayor of Pascagoula was rudely
attacked by the reporter Of our village,
and accused Of lacking In Southern
chivalry by wanting to prosecute q Wild
ow for the innocent ~ offense Of float
ing the English nag from the top Of her
fiagstaff.
We must remind the able reporter Of
Pascagoula items there Is but flag
can float with safety from the fiagstaffs
Of our country. THE STARS AND STRIPES
loyal and glorious emblem Of liberty!
Our forefathere fought to establish that
liberty, which gives free homes to every
nation on the globe, with equal rights
and privileges to worship God and earn
their daily bread; and who 90 ungrate-
full would accept the hospility the flag
proclaims, comes to our shores, amass
wealth and then iiaunt the flag Of their
birthland In the faces Of American citi-
Gems; that land from whence they sailed
because they could not earn their bread.
We welcome oil to our shores, repeat
ing the comforting words Of u Savior:
"Come, all ye which do hunger and
thirst" Our worthy Mayor Ia accused
Of . lack Of ehivalry, when the facts
sre-and we defy any citizen North or
South to recall m instance since the
Captains long residence among us, when
he has eyer displayed other than the
most perfect courtesy TO high or low,
white or black that have come in con-
tact with HIS genial presence. He asked
II there was not = law forbiding the fy-
Ing OF aforeign flag on shores unless
the Stars and Stripes floated above 1t.
Captain Volney Brown, efficient
Mayor Is an American, "a we are by
birth or adoption, and none are to
blame for feeling q direct and personal
insult to ourselves and our nation, by
having eyes and local senses Offend
ed by the Haunting to the breezes Of this
free country the tyranical flag Of Eng
land. And as there is q law prohibiting
such IN offense we hope the offender,
whether man or woman, may at once
conform to one Of our strongest federal
laws before being compelled to by the
proper authorities.

Two Afflicted Parents.


Special TO THE News.
TULARosA, N. NJ, March 29-Last
week Joe Trias, an Indian, was assassi-
mated at Elk Springs by William Blake
and Pancho; two other Indians. The
assassins ascertained that Trias was un-
armed and shot him treacherously.
They would not have attacked him in
any other manner owing to the fact
that Trias was fearless fellow and
one Of the best shots in New Mexico.
The motive for the crime is traced
back some years ago when Trias killed
4 brother of the other Indians in self
defense. He was held for examination
before the grand jury and no bill found.
1t is believed that the murder was
committed to avenge that death.
Trias worked last year at the Cloud
croft livery stable, and is known to be
one Of the best workers and most pros
porous Indians in the region. He not
only took good care of his wife and
children but also supported a blind
father aad crippled mother His mur-
derers are cIassed as worthless, and lazy.
They are still at la rye.
