TIE CASE OF BENJAMIN.

The conviction of FRANK BErJAMrs
(colored) at NEWPORT News, VA
Tuesday, March 18th 1900 was un-
questionably one OF the most outrs.
geous crimes we have ever seen perpe.
tratei in this state.
We call it o crime, because it ia
nothing more nor less than judicial
murder and judicial murder is worse
than lynchIng. It has been stated
that BENJAMIN is insane, but we are
presuming that he has all of the facul-
ties with which God has endowed the
average man.
II the bowling mob which demanded
his life, was not insane, then truly has
Justice departed from tbs confines of
the commonwealth.
There are some sad features about
this case. The saddest of them oil was
the attitude of some of the white mem
bers OF that jury who were irving til q
case, striving to do justice to their fell
low-man and at the same time please
the populace.
BENJAMIN was guilty, il at all of sim.
pie assault. 1t might have been bare
~ possible that his alleged action in
biting person could be construed to
be felony, and for this only the peni-
tentiary doors could swing open for
him.
Certain 1t is that there is no law.
either human or divine which could
mete to him death for the charge laid
st his door.
But what was the evidence against
him 3? What did his manifestations
who were crying for his blood say ?
Here it is:
NEWPORT News, Va, March T.
Special.-Erank Ben jamin, q Negro. ia
under arrest in Hampton, charged
with attempted criminal assault on
Miss Alice K. Caine, pretty Norfolk
professional nurse, who has heen en-
gased at the home of Mr.. George A.
Schmelz, the banker.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock last night the
Negro knocked at Mr.. Schmelz's door
MISS Caine and Miss Hickman, a sister
OF Mrs. Schmelz, went to the door.
he Negro Immediately caughb Miss
Game and threw her down. There was
struggle between the two ladies and
the brute.
Some citizens, attracted by the
screams of the ladies, came so their as-
sistance and caught the Negro before
he could escape, binding him hand and
foot.
Benjamin was very much afraid he
would be lynched, and begged to be
protested. He played Of crazy, saying

RepubIicnn senator. n,.. 80.

Washington, March 14.-The Repub-
lican senator's were in caucus for two
and one-half hours on the Puerto Rican
bill yesterday afternoon, and at 2
O'Clock adjourned until o'clock this
afternoon, when the discussion will be
resumed. AS a result of the caucus
talk the impression prevailed that
there was great deal of opposition to
the biz. which opposition, If it was not
placatSd, might enianger its passage.
1t was also apparent that number of
other senator's thought the legislation
was Ill advised, but while opposed TO
the bill nevertheless would vote for it
as party measure. Many Of the SEN
ators favor absolute free trade for
Puerto Rico, but others believe this
would jeopardize Republican success at
the polls.

TROUBLE ABOUT 1T.

IL we are to be guided by the re
ports now being circulated it seem,
that the legislature of Virgins in ord
eriog vote upon an demonstrations
Constitutional" Convention blunder-
ed as usual and struck the white Dem.
ocrstic ofhce-holders squarely in the
face. The colored brother is smiling
at their prsdicament.
The TINES says:
Several days ago the Democratic
County met in the city of Portsmouth
and we learn from the Norfolk Land
mark that while the committee was in
session the following paper was circu-
lated:
IMPORTANT TO VIRGINIANSl
III Constitutional Convention ia
called, 1T WILL ENDANGER THE
POSITION OF EVERY COUNTY AND
CITY OFFICIAL IN THE STATE, be-
sides occasioning q state OF great un-
certainty TO every interest involved.
You may start this convention, but no
man can tell where il will stop. See
TO it that delegates are elected to the
Democratic State Convention, which
assemblies in Norfolk May ID, 1900,
who will VOTE AGAINST MAKING
THE CONVENTION A PARTY IS-
SUE.'
This is indeed, 'im portsnt to Virgin.
ians.' 1t is important to Virginians
that the Constitutional Convention
ehall be held, and important to them
60 know that some of the office-hold-
ers are opposing il. IL ia irunortant
to Virginians to make the issue right
now, and decide as TO whether Virgin
Ia is run by the people or by the office
holders"
This is strong language. inasmuch as
the TINES is bourbon Democratic
Journal and was an ardent supporter of
the Jim Crow Car Law.
Go it, ye cripples, and may the best
man win.

We have received the Personal Elk
PLANTATION" of Hon. GKoReE II. WHITE
the colored rr ember from North Caro-.
lima delivered February 9th and 23rd
1900.
The speech was able and dealt with
the lynching question. This distin-
guished statesman presented his anti
lynching bill and occupied the aSten-
tion of the House for quite q while
closing his remarks amidst prolonged
applause.
Mr.. WHITE is all right upon ell ques-
lions affecting our people. There is
none OF the "time-server" or "cringer"
In his makeup. 1t ia fortunate indeed
that we have such representative to
plead our cause at the capital OF the
nation.

Court Decide Against Them.
Frankfort, KY, March 14.-The Leg
tslature OF Kentucky adjourned sine
die late yesterday afternoon after one
OF the most remarkable sessions In
the history Of the state. A confer
ence between the rival adjutant gem
erals, Collier and Castleman, resulted
In perfect understanding being reach
ed. Republican Governor Taylor will
continue to act as governor. Demo-
cratic Governor Beckham will make no
move toward securing possession OF
the state buildings until after the
court OF appeals has decided the dis
puted governorship. The legislature
appropriated 100000 for the use OF
Beckham In recognizing the state
militia. This in brief is the situation
In Kentucky politics.
Among the more conservative ele-
ment in each party the opinion pre-
walls that the worst is over and that
when the court OF appeals renders It's
decision the danger OF civil war In the
commonwealth, which has been ter
ribly imminent, viii entirely have
passed away. To the Democratic lead
era. with full understanding OF the
situation, only one cloud appears on
the present horizon, that Is Taylor's
future course. ,
Taylor himself will not outline his
plan OF action beyond the statement
that he would continue to act as gov
ernor. Republicans In Taylor's con.
ndepce, however, say that he will re-
main at Frankfort in the discharge OF
his duties until the court of last re-
sort passes upon the question at IS
sue Then, IL the decision be against
him, he will step out at once, and turn
over the state buildings to Beckham.
The Republicans will make every eff
fort to carry the dispute into the fed
eral courts in case the decision of the
court OF appeals, the supreme court OF
Kentucky, is against them, but falling
in this they Will consider the Ques-
ton settled, though still believing a
great wrong has been done them.
The Democratic leaders assert that
they will cheerfully abide by the de-
c1sicn OF the court OF appeals. But
should the decision be in their favor
they will insist on the occupancy of
the state buildings, "peaceably II DOS
sible, but forcibly II necessary" as Il
was expressed today. Not until that
decision is rendered will further ac-
ton be taken. BY this the RepubIi-
cans understand that no further ar
rests will be attempted and no prose-
cuttons made of the state officers or
OF the state militia serving under Tay-
lor. $500
