Sensational Story Which Comes
 From Helena.
John Rudy Forces Mrs. James Lyle, at the Point of a Pistol, to Flee With
 Him==-Woman Rescued.

woman, as they live some three or four miles in the country west of town, but the story gleaned from the officers who have the warrant and from Justice Turner, who issued it, is about as follows:
 Rudy and Mrs. Lyle were sweet hearts good many years ago but the woman favored the suit of Lyle and married him some three years ago. Yesterday Rudy came to the Lyle home while the husband was absent and renewed his protestations of love, asking Mrs. Lyle to go away with him. The wife refused, and Rudy, drawing pistol and putting it in her face forced her to go 10 the house. boat. What occurred there is not known, and will probably remain mystery unless Rudy is captured and brought to trial.
 Mrs Lyle, when questioned by the officers last night as to why she had not escaped from the houseboat when Rudy left her alone, declared she was afraid the man would shoot her as he had threatened
 The search for Rudy is being kept up today, and if he is found there will probably be some still more sensa- tional developments.

Helena may furnish something in the way of Kidnapping case if the pepetrator is ever found, says the Helena World As it is, the particu- lars learned to date read pretty much like romance and a tragedy com bined
 At o'clock last night man giving his name as James Lyle rushed into the office of Justice James R. Turner and asked for warrant for John Rudy on charge of kidnapping. The warrant was secured and Lyle in com- pany with Deputy Sheriff Dalzell and Constable Biscoe, started on the search for Rudy The kidnapped per son was Mrs. Martha Lyle, James Lyle's wife.
 After a search lasting until near midnight the woman was found lock ed in a houseboat which was beached on the river bank just below the city She was restored to her husband and accompanied him home, but up to noon today Rudy has not been found Officers are still searching for him, however, and it is not believd he has yet left the city.

DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES.
mails

A number of our Democratic contemp-
oraries are seriously discussing the pledges
made by the last Democratic State Con.
vention to submit the new constitution to
the people for ratification.
There are those who were in that con-
vention that are contending that the
pledge is not binding, even the gentleman
who framed the resolution in favor OF a
referendum declaring that the resolution
was Intentionally so framed as 10 be con-
s,rusd as the party desired in the future.
We are bound to believe, from the
views that are being expressed by Dem
ocratc papers and leaders, that the pledge
made at Norfolk TO submit the constitu'
ton to the people was made for no other
purpose than to keep the people from
defeating the convention proposition that
was voted on last May. If its purpose
was insincere, what should the people
think of tue men vino made it, and what Of
the party they represent? The very fact
that considerable number do not think
the pledge is binding, notably such men
as Senator Daniel and Hon. Carter Glass,
places the stamp of insincerity indellibly
upon it.
If the men aud party who made the
pledge do not consider it sacred and bind
ing, how can they ask the people to believe
them as to future pledges? The very per-
sons who are now the most ultra advo-
Gates Of q new constitution, and are not in
favor of letting the people pass upon it,are
those who were guilty Of a questionable
subterfuge at The last State convention OF
the Democratic party.

SUBSCRIPTIONS.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1901.
DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY.

The Southern Democratic members OF
Congress, both in the Senate and House,
are almost solidlv opposed to the shipping
bill, because of their pretended hostility
to subsidies. But in this they are guilty
of a most glazing inconsistency, though 1t
is nothing unusual for Democrats to be
inconsistent.
On the 22nd inst there was pronounc-
ed example of Democratic inconsistency
when vote was taken in the United
States Senate on the subsidy called for In
post office appropriation bill for the fast
mail service from Washington to New
Orleans. In addition 10 the regular pos
tai rates the bill provided for on addition
al payment of $l72, 900 annually for fast
mail service once day running through
Washington to New Orleans. Such a
subsidy has been paid for years to the
Southern railroads, and the Democratic
Senators and Representatives from the
South have been practically solid for it..
The subsidy is II more complete one than
the proposed subsidy to American ships.
What is the difference IN paying a subsidy
to a railroad to carry the mails and a
subsidy to ships for transporting the
mails?

NEGRO SLAVERY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Philadelphia Press.

Gentlemen" said Judge Bennett in
charging grand jury in Columbia, S. c.,
last Saturday, "here was a poor negro
taken from his wife and children under a
pretext of arrest. The machinery of the
law was used to seize him, take him from
his home and put him in convict's stock
ade,. and work him like convict without
due process of law. He was under no
sentence of the court, he had not been
tried, the testimony showed that he had
been guarded like convict, made to labor
like convict, and treated in all respects
like convict. And indeed the manner of
his death would seem to indicate that it
was in an effort to leave this convict camp
that he was shot as felon might be shot
inendeavoring to escape the sentence of
the law"
This language of Judge Bennett is said
to have created a sensation throughout
South Carolina. 1t ought to produce a
profound impression throughout the coun-
try as well. The testimony on which it
was based showed that poor, ignorant
cOlored man had been arrested on some
trumped up charge and without being
taken to court or given any opportunity to
prove his guilt or innocence, he was hur-
ried off to a stoekade where he was held
under binding contract to labor like
convict. Despairing of getting justice the
negro tried to escape from his worse than
prison and in doing so was shot down and
murdered like fleeing msefactor. 1t de.
veloped also that on thesame farm eighteen
other colored men were held in virtual
slavery and that the same system has ex-
listed for some time in Anderson county,
South Carolina.
The form of contract under which these
colored aborers are held and to which
their nominal consent is gained by force
and fraud was thoroughly ventilated by
Judge Bennett. Listen, gentlemen"
said he to the Grand Jury, "to some of
the terms of this contract" and he read
from the printed form as follows: 81
agree at all times to be subject to the
orders and commands of said landlord or
his agents; he shall have the right to use
such force as he or his agents may deem
necessary to require me to remain on bis
farm and perform good and satisfactory
service. He shall have the right to
lock me up for safe.keeping. He
shall have the right to work me under the
rules and regulations of bis farm. \
The said landlord shall have the right to
transfer bis interest in this contract to any
other party, and 1 agree to continue work
for said assignee, same as for the original
party of the first part"
Judge Bennett rightly characterized this
contract when he said 4: "If this were
statute providing for the capture and re
turn of runaway slaves or escaped felons it
would not be difficult 10 understand. But
these are the terms and conditions in 30
called contract and agreement to labor on
