FAMILIES OF "RAD" MEN.
Remarkable Attachment to Home Ties
Shown by Crooks.

Remarkable Attachment to Home Ties
Shown by Crooks.
One of the peculiar phases of life is
seen in the love that 'bad" men have
for their wives and children. By
bad" men we generally mean those
l~awbreakers who thrive in communi-
ties by the purchase of protection
from law upholders. If you please,
let Tom Gould be mentioned as a
type, Or "The" Allen, though I do not
know anything about their families.
Men of that stamp, with their hands
ever against their fellow men, living
only to "do" them, usually have happy
homes. The family ties are sacred.
The gamblers daughter is the light
OF his soul, and his only holy ambi-
ton is to shield her from knowledge
OF his moral %obliquity. 1 could name
a dozen such men in this city whose
m are as well known as District
Attorney Jerome's. No matter how
black the record against them on the
outside, within the threshold of their
homes they become loyal husbands
and indulgent fathers.--New York
Times.

interested board of canvassers? AS
a matter OF deceney would it not have
been more desirable?
In view Of the abuses Of the past,
doesSit not behoove every citizen to in
sist upon his strict rights? Did it not
look suspicious, that the powers that
be must demand that its own candi-
dates shall constitute a majority of the
board of canvassers. When the law
will at least permit that a majority Of
such board may consist of disinter~
ested parties?
l do not care to dig up past history
but we are all morally certain-repuh-
licans and democrats alike-that the
criminal election abuses of 1896 were
perpetrated under cover of the time
honored and honorable name of r,epub-
licanism, and the experience of 1896
was not such as to instil confidence as
to the intentions Of the republican
machine at any time or under any cir
cumstance. r

CONTEST RUMORS.

There are rumors that3sone or two Of
the candidates on the independent dom
ocratic ticket intend TO scontest the
election of their rivals. who we're given
certificates of election by the canvass
ing board. Report associates the name
OF n. c. William with a proposed con-
test against George Welch, and Pat
Byrne with n against Captain Moor
house. It is likely if contests are be-
gun, there will be a general contest by
some republicans against candidates on
the independent democratic ticket WHO
gained certificates of election, includ-
ing a contest of the legislative candi-
dates who were given certificates Of
election. It. is claimed there are plenty
Of irregularities throughout the county
which would probably defeat several
Of the independent democratic candi-
dates if a recount of the ballots were
had. The republicans d. not fear a
contest and have no doubt that # the
matter is opened up bv defeated indie
pendent democratic candidates a re-
count of the ballots will favor the re-
publicans all along the line. Repub-
lican candidates who defeated by
small majorities say they have no de-
sire to contest unless the matter is
opened up by the other side, in which
event they will file contests to insure
their being able to take advantage of
any change in the recount of the
votes. Contests have to be filed with
IN twenty days after the ~canvassing
board meets.

Twenty years ago the papers were
running Governor Ordway's Thanks
giving proclamation, i'm which were
mentioned the following among other
causes for thankfulness: Churches
and school houses now dot our broad
prairies from Nebraska to the inter
national line; pure water, hitherto be-
ycnd reach in some parts of the terri
tory, has been found and brought up m
great abundance from the depth of the
earth; the golden grain has filled our
storehouses to overlooking. The past
season has been all that could be de-
sired. and the harvest in every section
has been so abundant that it has repaid
the labors OF the husbandman more
than four fold. Our population has
been largely augmented by the best
classes of native and foreign-born cit
liens, who, in many instances. have,
like the patriarchs of old, brought with
them their hocks. and their herds, their
sons and their daughters, to take and
enjoy the munificent allotments of land
which a wise and generous government
has made the birthright of every citi-
zen of the republic.

After giving prohibition a trial for
fifty years the people of Vermont have
elected a legislature pledged to change
a law that does not prohibit to some
kind of license measure. A strict pro-
hibition law never did prohibit and
will. There are many objec-
tionable features accompanying the Ii
system but it does seem as if a
stringent regulation measure might be
adopted that would accomplish al
that rational temperance people desire
without. attempting an impossibility-

The Appalachian Park.

The agricultural committee of the
national house of representatives has
favorably passed upon the bill to Gre
ate a forest reserve in the form of the
National Appalachian park The re-
gion embraced is about 5000 square
miles, including the wild and pictur-
esque land of the sky" in western
North Carolina and adjacent states.
The committee favors an appropria-
tion of Sl0.000.000 to purchase and pre-
serve those two millions of acres of
mountains. valleys, forests and
streams that constitute a natural park
more beautiful and worthy of perpetu-
ity than any scenery of famous Switz-
erland.
The arguments in favor of the gov
ernment establishing the park are so
abundant and cogent as to have OBJ
tanned the approval of patriots and
presses throughout the country The
proper committee of the senate has al
ready indorsed the project and now,
il would seem, nothing remains of the
preliminaries other than for our south
ern senators and congressman TO get
behind the measure and push it
through.

were dependent upon France for

beauty of it all lies in the fact that
we are now turning the tables upon
our foreign rivals by shipping back

which we formerly purchased from
them, being unable, on account Of
our inexperience, to produce them
ourselves.

courtesy and traditional chivalry be-
came the right and left guards of his

Wade HAMPTON Is Dead.

The news that the grand, gray old
veteran of South Carolina is dead will
ill with inexpressible sadness thou
sands of his old comrades in arms
and millions of the southern people
who regarded him as the proudest
knight of knightly era.
General Wade Hampton was the de-
scendant OF a tribe of leonine men
men noble in their natures, majestic
i'm purposes. dauutless in battle and
sage in counsel. The briefest review
of his military career brings him into
full view as one of the superbest fig
ures that ever rode before a troop or
led legion i'm impetuous charge.
The smoke and thunder of battle were
incense 10 his nostrils and music TO
his ears.
But he was even a grander figure
for admiration as the leader of war
wasted people struggling to retrieve
their state and the safeguards of
their social system. His work in 1876
became historic and led TO the re-
demp;ion of the Palmetto people to
autonomy and free ambitions since
fully realized. In the senate he was
one of the sanest and safest of those
who stood guard to defend the consti-
tuition and enforce the equal rights of
states and citizens.
Georgia joins her tears and her eu-
logiums 10 those of South Carolina
over the bier of Hampton. who nobly
served his age and people whenever
and wherever hidden to the arena of
dutv'
