WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE.-Ell
Basket, at his home at Alice, Hanover
county, killed his young wife yesterday
by firing ten bullets into her body, and
then ended his own life with shotgun.
Jealousy is supposed to have been the
cause of the double killing. Mrs. Basket
was from Prince Edward county, and
was Miss Bigger. The couple eloped
to Washington in April of last year, aud
were married Basket was twenty years
old and his wife was eighteen. Basket
secured work at the Trigg plant in Rich
mond and only weat home Saturdays.
Finally a friend of the young wife's
childhood met her again. He visited
her often and wrote rhymes in her Tcsta-
ment and she accepted them. IN open
rapture between husband and wife finally
came about. When Basket went home
Saturday night his wife had gone to the
home of a relative, where the other m;n
was stopping. Her husband visited her
Sunday and a scene ensued. As soon
as the wife returned yesterday morning
Basket, who had. been out and bought
cartridges and tried his pistol, took her
by the band and fired pistol ball into
her breast. She reeled, fell, and crawl
ed through the house. He followed, fir
ing rapidly, emptying his pistol and re-
loading up again fired every ball at her.
Then he took up his shot gun and sent
one load at her. but it missed. He walk
ed out inio the yard and shot his heart
into shreds. Both were dead when

THERE is another strike of coal
i,a.:: iI;et the last one having occurred in
Alabama. The miners in West Virginia

small magnitude having just occurred in
a section of England and last nights

A LETTER FROM the editor OF the
Scranton Tribune to a Boston merchant,
published on the first page OF today's
Gazette, will be read with interest by
all spectators of the conflict now raging
in Pennsylvania between the operators
and miners. The statements made by
the editor of the Tribune bear evidence
of truth from the fact that he is editor
of leading newspaper in The coal dis
trict and realizes the responsibility OF
his assertions, and were they erroneous
they would be refuted Immediately.
In the face of such an exhibit people
should weigh the matter dispassionately
before jumping at conclusions or going
off half-cocked. 1t is shown that the
miner can command more wages than
the average mechanic, and that so far
as pay is concerned he has no serious
grievance.

SENATOR DOLLIvER, of Iowa, DIS
agrees with those republican statesmen-
Senator'S Hanna, Beverage and the rest
Of them-wbo assert that the trusts are
most beneficial institutions and are the
last step in modern industrial develop
ment On the contrary, Senator DOLL
yer holds that these overgrown combina-
lions sooner or later must succumb to the
irresistible spirit of individualism, in
spite of tariff props. Such is the con-
clusion of experience and common sense.
Some of the fairfield trusts, Senator
Deliver points out, have already col
lapsed, and others are lettering to their
fall. In the meantime the obvious policy
is to relieve the people of their spolia-
tons by substantial revision OF the
tariff; and protectionist as he is, or has
been, Senator Dolliver does not disdain
the application of that remedy.

THE New YORK HERALD devoted a
page last Sunday to cotton factories IN
Virginia and other southern States, in
which it unfayorably portrayed the
child labor employed in such places.
The interference of northern newspapers
with southern institutions precipitated
q war nearly forty years ago from the
effects of which the country has barely
emerged, and while no scenes of car
mage are likely to follow this latest inn
pertinent meddling with affairs south of
Mason and Dixon's line, people living
in Virginia and in States south of the
Old Dominion will certainly resent the
descriptions and pictures sent out to the
world in disparagement Of the in
dustries in our South land The
experience of many young girls
and older ones, too, in northern cotton
factories has often been published and
unfavorably commented upon even in
the New England States by sensational
writers and newspapers. The fact, how
ever, that cotton factories are gradually
becoming improbable in the northern
portion of the United States and are be-
ing erected in the Southis doubtless what
is firing the northern heart and not
the alleged hard work imposed upon
young girls for whom they pretend to
have sympathy. The cotton mills have
come to stay. They have been and
are being erected near the cotton fields
where fabrics can be manufactured at
less cost than in sending the raw
material to the North to be returned to
the South in the shape of manufactured
goods. Over fifty of such mills were
built IN the year 1900.

order that cars must be run today.
The street railway companies started out
several cars this morning at O'Clock,

Thompson, the only colored delegate to
the convention at Newport News, who
is an employee at the Norfolk postoffice,
made plea for negro representation on

the negro from politics in the southern

PRoTECTIoNIsT newspapers attempt
to break the force of the demand for a
repeal of the duties on articles the price
of which is controlled BY trusts on the
ground that such action would not be a
complete remedy. 1t would not destroy
the trusts. But the aim is not to de-
stroy the trusts, but to curtail their
power for evil. Toputa duty on articles
which are manufactured in this country
at less cost than in other countries is
only to invite the formation of combina-
tons intended for the plumber of pur-
chasers in the home market. Deprived
of this power for plumber, combinations
in many instances may be of service in
cheapening production by economies of
management impossible to individual
enterprise.

MR.. BRYAN ON THE CRISIS.


president Roosevelt must act" is
the ultimatum given out by Mr.. Bryan
in statement on The coal strike las,
night. He says:
''The President deserves and should
receive commentator for his effort to
save the people from the horrors of a
fuel famine, hut what will he do now?
The republican platform presents no
plan. Will he have the craftsmanship
to devise a plan? If not, will he have
the moral courage to adopt democratic
measures which have already received
Endorsement of more than six million of
people? If, as is alleged, the mine own
ers have entered into an agreement 70
FIX prices and production in violation Of
the antitrust law, let him enforce the
law, not merely the Injunction port, but
the criminal part also. If present laws
will not suffice, let him call Con-
gress together and enact new laws; the
emergency is sufficient to justify il.
There should be, first, national board
of arbilration; second, law abolishing
government by injunction and restoring
trial by jury in federal courts; third, allow
discrimination between the nation, man
and the created corporation; fourth take
the tariff off hard coal; fifth, pro-
hibition of railroad ownership of coal
mines. All these are advocated in the
Kansas City platform. The Presidents
political future depends largely upon
The stand he takes in this great contest
between greed and human rights, but if
be is a brave man he will take the
peoples side and risk the hostility of
organized wealth. He cannot turn back
without FORGETTING the confidence of
hundreds of thousands, who in spite of
his record of inactivity and his ambig-
uous speeches, still believe him to be in
sympathy with the toiling masses"
President Truesdale Of the d., l.. &
w. says: "The calling out of the
troops will cause great number of men
to return TO work as soon as the troops
get in the coal region and they realize
they will be protected" Speaking of
the ordering out of the militia, Presi-
dent Mitchell however, says: eff they
call out all the troops in the United
States it will not make the men return
to work"

Cost Their Weight in Gold.

An ingenious arithmetician, writ
ing in the London Speaker, makes
the following calculation in compar-
ing the weight, IN flesh, OF the Beers
and the cost, in gold, of the war.
Assuming that the Boer army pro-
per contained originally about 22,-
$40 men, averaging in weight 154
pounds, and accepting the estimate
OF Mr.. Lloyd George, the pro-Boer
member OF Parliament, that the war
will eventually cost England some
&4OO, 100000, he makes the discov-
cry that the whole Of the original
Transyaal army might have been
weighed out in the scales, and bare
ly equaled the weight in gold which.
will be required before they are all
led into death or captivity.

about him being a candidate" Now
as far as setting up any pins" is
concerned the Times is right. Mr.
Grindeland does not need to do that.
He prefers to rest his candidacy on a
broader and more solid foundation
than, ''pins," which however cleverly
put up may tumble and fall at the
critical moment. He will let his cand-
idacy rest with the people, upon their
will, and if it's necessary to put up
any pins, they, the people, will attend
to this matter for him on the day of
the primary election.
