WEDNESDAY. FEB. Ii. 1868.

II the facts which come from Flor
cncc, this State, be correct, a foul
double murdcr has been committed
and the blood Of the victims is Justly
crying from the ground for vengeance.
Because a dog had taken up its abode
with the family Of James Rogers.
whose dwelling was a log cabin, but
in which, the absence Of wealth, there
was kindness and peace and hospital
ity even for o homeless dog. William
King deliberately shot James Rogers,
wounding him MORALLY, shot to death
his son, Samuel Rogers, and thrusting
his smoking pistol into the face Of
the wife and mother, Mrs. Rogers,
would have killed her had not every
bullet Of his pistol been buried in the
bodies CT the husband and son. The
only remarks SO far known to have
been made by Rogers were that, the
dog had come, lie did not know whose
dog it was, he cared for it and asked
King to allow him something for the
keep Of the dog, as he was poor. To
this King replied, 81 will pay you in
lead" and deliberately shot him
down. The son shouted to King not to
shoot his father, to which King replied
with a shot that ended the boys life,
and, turning, fired three shots more
into the PROSTATE body of the pros
trate body Of the father. All the par
ties are white. King has fed the
State. The Rogers family were poor
but honest. Does this not make your
blood boil with indignation? What
is to become Of the State? Are we
to be bathcd in human blood? Ilomi-
cidcs are increasing. The taking Of
human life for almost any provocation
is growing upon the people. To think
ing minds the responsibility is fixed
upon the Courts and %juries. 1t is al.
most, if not entirely, n tritc saying
that, it a man has money and friends
of influence he can easily escape pun
ishment. The truth Of this saying
encourages the murdcrous passions Of
men and makes them swift to shed
blood. The time has come when the
jurics of this country must vindicate
the law. Sympathy must be swept
aside in the discharge Of duty. Tho
people demand it., the times demand
it, the future peace, happiness and
prosperity of the whole people of the
State dcpcnl upOn it..

PAVING THE STREETS.

The petition, looking to the submit
ting to q vote the question of issuing
bonds in IN amount sufficient to pave
the Square and 80 much of the streets
leading from the Square as may be
considered necessary, is being circu-
lated among the freeholders of the
city, and it is filing up quite rapidly.
There appears to be very little doubt
as to the question being submitted,
but it is also very evident that the
question will meet with strong oppo-
sition. Those opposed to the meas
urc, and there are some strong men
among them, are Of the opinion chat
with the coming Of the Summer the
Square and streets a be put in ex-
cellent condition by the use Of tho
road machines, filing in tho holes and
giving a liberal top-dressing Of suit
able soil, any quantity Of which can
be easily obtained, the cost of which
will be much less and the results Us
satisfactory. They take the position
that people who know nothing of road
building, and they are largely in the
majority, are Influenced by the pres.
ent condition Of the Square and streets
to such an extent that they will agree
to almost any proposition without
once looking into Understanding,
season Of the year, continued rain
and the result, which will be keenly
felt in an increase in taxes, the bur-
den of which is already heavy enough.
Those in favor Of tie measure are per-
suaded that permanent street i'm
p%rovements, such as proposed, though
costing considerable at present, will
eventually, prove decidedly moro eco
nomic than any other plan. The op-
position point to the fact that for FIVE
or six years prior to the sewerage
work the Square was in ''passablc"
condition, even during the Winter
and Spring seasons, and the streets
compared favorably with most Of tho
cities. Those in favor of paving are
steadfast in their position that the
amount of gravel and sand and work
necessary to procure aud distribute
them, coupled with the constant re-
pairs necessary year after year, will
exceed the cost Of paving several
thousand dollars, and without pcrma-
nency and satisfaction. Thus is the
matter being discussed pro aud con
with men of strong influence on both
sides.
The position Of The Intelligence
on this question is this We are op.
posed to expanding $50 900 to pave
the Public Square. If it were paved
to-day how could the travelling public
get to it? If tho business of the
city is suffering it is due to the condi.
ton of the streets leading to the
Square. Our idea Of permanent i'm.
provemcut in this matter is to pave
Main street from the residence of Mira,
S. Bleckley to the top of University
hill and the streets leading to tho
depots. To do this, the question tr
be voted upon should be the issuing
of not less than $4,000 Of bonds,

A striking circumstance about the
house is that it's session has developed
found itself. 1t is o body Of men of
more than average ability, and most of
them arc young men, but none has
exhibited u faculty for leadership.
Yet there are u few men who are ;J
least prominent in the deliberations.
Mr.. Altamont Moses. of Sumter, has
perhaps had the longest legislative ex-

making a most excellent member.

net relish being surrounded on all
sides by Indians who, although sub
dued, outnumbered them 100 to 1;
but preferred to be within sight OF
the sea, the broad highway that led
toward home.
This emerald valley Of Rimac, with
a river running through 1t, the ocean
on one side and the towering Andes on
the other, combined all the advantages
they sought. So here they establish
ed the second Spanish city In South
America, which soon grew to be one
of the proudest and most luxuriant
capitals of those profigate days and
continued to be the seat OF corrupt
viceregal court for three centuries. 1t
happened that Pizarro designated its
site on Jan. 6, 1855 (old style), the day
Of the festival Of the epiphany, or the
manifestation of our Savior to the
magi, who in King James version OF
the new testament are called the wiRs
NJ from the east, but are known IN
all the old Spanish traditions as the
y
mendous celebration Of that feast OF
the epiphany and christened his capt.
tai accordingly.
Then Carlos v. of Spain sent over
not only his benediction and congratu-
lations, but added some complimentary
words to its already ponderous title,
making it 1.-THE Most Noble and Most
Royal City of the Three Kings"-so It
appears in the original charter. But
that was altogether too long title for
everyday use and so the easy-going
Spaniards fell into the habit of call
i.g i. 1.-The City of Rimac," the latter
being the name of the valley in which
1t stands and also of the river that
runs through 1t.

DEcEIvINo THE PEOPLE.
The Republican Leaders Take Differ.
ent Views Of Trust Control.

The Republican Leaders Take Differ.
ent Views Of Trust Control.
The Republican leaders should get
together and agree on information
they impart to the voters. President
Roosevelt, in what was doubtless
carefully considered speech on the tar
III and trust issue, told us that the
Sherman law was inadequate and
constitutional amendment was essen
tial to control the trusts. The Ohio
Republican platform says: "Combina-
tions for the monopoly Of trade and
kindred unlawful purposes are direct
ly amenable to penalties provided by
Republican legislation" meaning, OF
course, that the Sherman law is ample
to control the trusts. Which Of these
statements are we to believe, that of
the President or Senator Hanna?
Neither do the same authorities agree
on the tariff as affecting the trusts,
for the President said that the tariff
had no connection with the trusts,
while the Ohio platform, after de-
claring as above quoted on the control
Of monopolies, further says: mo
worthy interest is imperiled but what.
ever will work public harm is re.
strained and that without resort to
the Democratic plan of destroying all
American industries through tariff re-
vision or otherwise"
Cor otherwise" is good. 1t allows
the Republican brethren hole to
crawl into when the Democratic plan
of tariff revision has relieved the peo-
pie from trust extortion, which is now
permitted by the protection the tariff
gives them.
1t would also seem that Senator
Hanna has changed his mind about
trusts, for 1t is not long ago that he
was vociferously declaring from every
stump he mounted that there were no
trusts, and now he admits that there
are Combinations for the monopoly of
trade" This being all things to all
men and each leader putting his own
construction on the important issues
msy fool some of the people all the
time, but it surely cannot fool all the
people all the time.

hooters of the South Seas and the
Spanish main.
These things all belong to the dis
tant past, but no less Interesting are
the events of the last half-century,
even of the present decade. Earth
quakes have repeatedly shaken this
city from center to circumference, and
the innumerable wars and revolutions
have drenched its streets with blood.
BY and by the silver veins of Saldedo
ran dry, and the sands Of Carabaya
were no longer washed for gold, and
the world had discovered that away up
the world has discovered that away up
north were two new states-California
and Nevada-which could supply more
silver every year that Pasco ana
Potosi and all the other mines of New
Spain put together. The conquered
Indians could no longer be parceled
out to the favorites Of power under
the abominable law of La Mica, nor
the negroes be compelled to pay TO
the rich the tribute of unrequited
labor.
Yet the profigate city Of the Three
Kings 1ourished more gayly and luxu
riantly, If possible, than ever; for a
richer fountain of wealth had been
opened than any of the older sources,
in the guano islands, scattered all
along the arid coast-those rocky and
forbidden haunts Of seals and sea
birds which were the terror OF the
early mariner. For half century
they poured into the lap of Lima a
more than Danaean shower OF gold.
Then came darker days Of cruel war
fare and bitter poverty, after a sister
republic had stripped the country OF
everything available; and though
starvation stared them in the face the
descendants Of the naughty grandees
had no idea Of the dignity OF labor,

The Way Hanna Was plsarmed.

From the high authority of the
trust" organ the country has had a
full explanation Of the motive which
led Mr.. Mark Hanna to drop his
fight for the trusts" against Presi-
dent Roosevelt in Ohio. This explana-
ltion makes it necessary, that the
truth Of history may prevail. to re-
nounce all our faith In the generally
accepted reasons for the retreat of
Mr.. Hanna before the wrath of
aroused and indignant Republicanism.
1t seems that Mr.. Roosevelt soon
was to be a guest under the roof of
Mr.. Hanna. 1t was long before the
Senator decided to check the rush of
the Ohio Republicans to the Roose
welt standard that he had asked the
President to come to his house and
that the invitation had been accepted
Mr.. Hanna did not dream then that
his duty as host Obliged him to issue
an order to the Republicans of Ohio
commanding them to indorse his guest
for the Presidency. Instead Of doing
that he felt no indelicacy in ordering
them to refrain from giving that in
dorsement. 1t was only when it be-
came plain to Mr.. Hanna that the Re.
publicans of Ohio would not take his
orders, and when it was shown to him
that he would get sound drubbing
If he tried to break their will that
Mr.. Hanna was overpowered by a
sense Of the duty which the host owes
the guest, and that he was stung by
the shame of his neglect to discharge
that duty by all means in his power.
The trust" organs explanation of
the cause that moved Mr.. Hanna to
drop his fight on the President shows
how seeming trifies shape great events
and direct the destinies of nations. A
commonplace incident like the we'd
ding of Senator's daughter, we have
lived to learn, may bring disaster to
trusts" dictate political platforms.
crush the hopes of bosses and fulfill
the wishes of whole people. The
Presidential candidate of the future
may profit by the experience of Mr.
Roosevelt, and whenever he wishes to
disarm foe he will have the simple
way open to him of beguiling the en-
envy into asking him to dinner.

NOT M'KINLEY'S IDEA
ROOSEVELT NOT IN ACCORD
WITH PREDECESSORS VIEWS.
Benefits Of Reciprocity as Set Forth
by the Late President-Present
Chief Executive Has Lined UP with
the "Stand Pat" Crowd.

The Ohio Republicans commend
President Roosevelt's adherence to
President McKinley's policies" BY
this they mean that they commend his
peculiar way of adhering to President
McKinley's policies. They make this
plain when they say that changing
conditions and the possible dement's
of reciprocity may call for timely re-
adjustment Of schedules"
This is Roosevelt not Mckinley. 1t
speaks of possible" benefits of reci-
procity and suggests that these and
changing conditions may" call for re-
adjustment Of schedules.
There was nothing Of this vague
ness and uncertainty in Mr.. McKin-
ley's last speech. In that deliverance
he spoke OF the benefits of reciprocity
not as possible" but as certain, and
he declared not that conditions may"
call for timely" adjustment of sched-
ules, but that they did at that time
call for adjustment az
While Mr.. Mckinley spoke Of reci-
iprocity, his language was such as to
leave no doubt on any candid mind
that he was convinced that the time
had come for a lowering of the tariff
wall all around irrespective of reci-
,procity treaties. His address was al
most wholly a statement of elemen-
tary economic principles which con-
duct necessarily to the doctrine Of
free trade. -...4.- l..s
He called attention to the fact that
whereas-we had been securing the
home market to American manu-
facturers we were then seeking for
eign markets for their products snd
; he strongly emphasized the economic
truth that in order to secure foreign
markets for our own products we
must open our markets to foreign
products; that we could not sell every
thing and buy nothing; that trade
was necessarily reciprocal prospect
i've of treaties and advantageous 70
both the parties to the exchange.
Mr. Roosevelt has never uttered a
word in public indicating that he is
in sympathy with these advanced
views which so shocked the stand-pat
Republican bosses. Every public de-
liverance of his touching the subject
has served to mark him as one of the
stand-pat crowd. Even his incessant
hurrah for bigger and bigger navy
implies his acceptance Of the medival
doctrine that trade is something to
be won by cunning diplomacy backed
by carnage.
The Ohio Republicans cheerfully &C
cept the economic doctrines of Mr.
Roosevelt and are glad to be. rid OF
those proclaimed by Mr.. Mckinley
with his last breath.

For International Unionism.

Oficials of the American Federation
Of Labor who have recently returned
from an organizing tour through Can
ada report that the executive council
meeting held in Toronto last month
was productive Of much good. There
is an attempt being made to create
feeling among Canadian workmen
against international unionism. and
some labor officials in Canada favor
withdrawal from the American Fedora
ton of Labor and the formation OF a
distinctively Canadian labor fedora
ton. This plan is being advocated by
the Canadian manufacturers, and has
gone so far that bill has been intro
duced in the Provincial Legislature at
Quebec on the subject. The bill is be-
ing fought by the labor unions, and the
tour of the Executive Council OF the
A. F. of L. through Canada has done
much to strengthen the idea of inter
national unionism.

willingness to pay the taxes assessed

ors to make the figures satisfactory
to the Rockefellers does not detract

brethren is an encouraging precedent.

long enough to announce that every
