Of the trust devil fish?
It takes a shock of some kind to
awake the average man to helpful ae.
ton. Most people, in their mental lazl-
ness, are disposed to think that what
ever is, is right" The pitiful condi-
tons of industrial slavery exposed In
the mines of Pennsylvania may arouse
them. "a nation cannot exist half
free and half slave" said Lincoln.
Nine-tenths of the American people
will not always submit to be exploited
by one-tenth. These barons Of greed
ought to realize that fact before the
day Of reckoning dawns. New
thoughts and impulses are abroad and
change will come despite of Hanna's
hosannahs and prayers. There are to-
day fewer white men of intelligence
fawnlng at the feet Of wealth and
power than there was yesterda and
there will be still fewer toni brow.
The common people, that is, the best
of American manhood, are beginning
to see that the invasion of the rights Of
one is the invasion and ultimate de-
struction of the rights of all. The fac
tory hand cringed and the drummer
shouted and spouted throughout the
land in 1896; they are not doing SO
to-day. The prosperity they were
promised has come only to maknates.

Of the masses are emptier than ever.

AS a pertinent addition to the fore
going and timely comment On the
struggle now beginning in the Pennsyl-
vania coal regions the following, from
Father Ducey, the gentle and sympa-
thetic, but morally courageous, priest,
of New York, may be quoted:
1T is the greatest crime Of modern
society which compels children Of
eight years Of age to work for thirty
cents a day In those dark mines. All
this in order that their tasknasters
may live lives of luxury and refined
ease.
"Any man who raises his, voice
against these wrongs will be pro-
claimed a demagogue. Jesus Christ
in His day was called a demagogue
aud an imposter because He was the
friend of sinners and consorted with
the common people.
"But the anarchists are not the men
who protest. The real anarchist In
this case are the mine owners, who
constitute the greatest danger h. mod.

CAMPAIGN Lies.

What is the purpose of the campaign
lie? Is it to amuse the people? It
certainly does not influence voters. As
a general thing it is SO easily detected
that no n regards it seriously.
Doubtless campaign committees Sc
cure the services of those who have
a talent for manufacturing qies re-
specting the opposing candidates or
the opposing party, and pay them in
accordance with the success with
which they discharge the duties re-
quired of them. Now and then a cam
paign lie is set a1oat that is really
injurious to the opposite party. and
then there is a great effort to coun-
teract its effect. Usually, however,
no attention is paid to campaign lies,
and they are forgotten almost Us; soon
rs they appear in print.
One was published the ther day
that attracted some attej for the
reason that the Republican campaign
managers doubtless made a special
effort to have it circulated.
The purport of it was that ex-Goy.
ernor Stone, Of Missouri, had made
a bargain with Mr.. Croker. In which
the latter agreed to raise a campaign
fund of $2,000,OOO, to be used in car
rying the State Of New York for Mr..
Bryan, on condition that Mr.. Croker
was to have absolute control of Fed
eral patronage of New York and ex.
Senator Edward Murphy, Jr., was to

It is not necessary to say that Mr.,
Stone and Mr.. Croker made no such
bargain. It is doubtful If Mr.. Bryan

A sister of the late e. P. Roe tells
an amusing story of the first lesson
which she and her brother ever recited
in Roman. history.
Among our most loved and honored
guests, during our childhood, was DR..
Samuel Cox, for many years a promi-
nent clergyman in New York. At times
our conversation turned on history aud
I remember. on occasion, he asked
Edward and me if we could give him
the names of the First Roman Trium-
virate.
At this period of III existence the
name Caesar was associated exclu-
sively with an old colored man whom
we often visited, and who lived upon
a lonely road in the neighborhood. We
were vastly astonished, therefore. to
learn that the name had ever been
borne by a more illustrious person
than our dusky friend; but we list
ened entranced to the story of the RI
valries of Caesar and Pompey for the
empire of the world.
Unhappily the good doctor could not
remember the name of the third trium-
vir, and the lack troubled him greatly.
That night, about two o'clock. l was
startled by a knock on my bedroom
door, and Doctor Cox called out:
MARY, are you awake?"
I replied that l was-as, indeed, was
every one else in the house by that
time.
ITS C~rassus,n said the doctor, and
then he returned to his room, greatly
relieved.

NEGRO DlESAT THE STAKE
Large Crowd Watches the Flames as
They Consume The Victim.
Assaulted . White Woman in Alabama
Whose Husband Fires the Pile-Was
Run Down by Bloodhounds.

Wetumpka, Ala. (Speciar.-Winield
Townsend, alias Floyd. a negro, was
burned at the stake in the little town
of Eclectic, fifteen miles from this
place, a few days ago. The crime
with which he was charged was an
assault upon Mrs. Lonnie Harring-
ton, whose husband set fire to the
brands, which reduced Townsend's
body to ashes. The victim was a
nephew of a man hanged here a week
ago for a similar crime.
Mr.. Harrington was engaged at a
cotton gin in Eclectic and lived one
mile out Of town. The negro came
to the house and told Mrs. Harring-
ton that her husband had sent him
to get twenty cents from her. She
told him she had no change. Then
the negro left, but returned in about
ten minutes. The woman's screams
were heard by Bob Nichols, another
negro, who was passing along the
road at the time. He ran to tie
house in time to see the negro escape.
The news spread rapidly. All the
stores in Eclectic were closed, all the
gins and saw mills shut down; the
people left their wagons in the road
and their plOws in the field and gath
cred for a pursuit of the negro. The
crowd divided, some securing the
woods near the scene of the crime and
others went to the p~enitentiary for
~bloodhounds.
The dogs were not brought to the
scene until nearly dark. They were
taken to where the negro's tracks
disappeared, and an exciting chase en-
sued. The dogs stopped finally at q
tree In front of Odion's store on the
outskirts of the town. The crowd
coming up soon discovered the negro
sitting on q limb. He was brought
down at nj Townsend was con-
fronted by Mrs. Harrington, who posi-
lively identified him.
Word was sent to the other search
ing parties that the negro had been
found. and about IL o'clock O crowd
Of several hundred was in the little
village. The negro was then taken
to the edge of the village. The prep
arations for death were quickly made.
A rope was flung over the limb of
a big oak and a hundred stood ready
W iCAu Aduu at Gic IOpc.
Then a halt was called and the man
ner of death discussed by the mob.
To decide the matter a vote was taken
and the balloting showed a majority
of the crowd to favor death at the
stake.
The stake was prepared and the
negro was bound to it with chains.
Pine knots We're piled about him.
Townsend's wild cries upon God for
mercy and help could be heard a long
way. The crowd looked on, deaf to
his cries, and In an hour the negro
was reduced to ashes.
Townsend, before being bound, con-
fessed the crime, and said he was also
impfasated with Alexander Floyd, who
was hanged a couple of weeks ago.
He said he and Floyd had planned
for other crimes of like character, but
that Floyd's execution put a stop to
them.
