T1LLMANISM.

The recent South Carolina
tragedy in which editor N. G.
Gonzales was shot by Lieutenant
Governor Tillman, "a nephew of
old "pitchfork" Tillman) at CO.
lumbus, S. c., last week, was one
of the most murderous and
cowardly criminal act that brute
can commit. Underline South
Carolina code, if this act of Till
mans had been committed by a
colored man, his body would have
been hun aid rididiffed with bull
let's or burned to ashes, but now
they will allow a trial.
Mr.. Gonzales died this weeL..
To say the least it is sad, sad in
deed, but this Tillman is only
following out that low, poor bred
blood of his uncle, Senator Till
man, who heaped his villainies
on, President Roosevelt, also his
murderous assault upon Senator
McLaurin and no later then last
week attacked Attorney General
Knox. It shows that the same
spirit exist in one as in the other.
If South Carolina ever wish to
redeem herself sufficiently to be
called commonwealth of Ameri-
ca'she will have to purge herself
quickly of Tillmanism.

Mr.. Hyde with the soul Of ten heroes
In one body, worked necessarily and
patiently awaited the day when he
would be pronounced man.
He came to Iowa, and Des Moines in
1874, but lived in Council Bluffs same
year, but returned to Des Moines in
1875. worked for Mr. L. Mott untA
1878, when he went into the house
cleaning business and followed general
house cleaning until 1886. Carpets he
found to be still dirty after the best
known methods OF cleansing had been
resorted to, which set him to wishing
for some method by which he could
benefit his patrons. and do more work
and better. He in the mean time had
been given vast number of carpets
which were considered worthless ex-
cepts for rags by their former owners
and this created desire to see the
original colors brought back to these
carpets, many of which were of fine
quality and not worn to hurt. From
knowledge of chemistry gained by dint
Of study along the line of his daily
work, M. Hyde evolved n and H.
which at once revolutionized the car
pet cleaning business. After perfect
ing and patenting "H and H. soap,
Mr.. Hyde sold half interest to +. w.
Henry, who became associated with
him in the extensive manufacturing
and distribution of the lone and only"
and much appreciated household ne
cessity known as III and H,"a soap
which is being rapidly introduced into
the homes of two continents, and well
coined as long felt want. It was
suggested to Mr. Hyde that now. in the
new role of inventor and half owner of
world wide home article of necessity,
he should drop his carpet cleaning
business. Here again the solid sense
Of this colored benefactor, as we'll as
manufactures, showed up. He reason
ed that this established business was

today his "ElectricCa rpet Cleaner, !" Is

FISHERMEN ABANDON
SHAD FOR STURGEON
Remarkable Streak OF Fortune
for Men on the Delaware
Bay Big Money Made
Special to tho Evening journal. l.,

Dover May 19.-At last the absence Of
the shad throughout lower Delaware is
accounted for by remarkable streak OF
fortune which has befallen the shad fish
ermen Of the Delaware' bay. Schools of
sturgeon have re-appeared in the channel
and they have temporarily abandoned the
pursuit Of the toothsome shad Cor the more
profitable giant fish. The discovery was
made a few days ago by some shad fish
ermen, who Immediately equipped them
selves for entrapping the monsters, and in
two Gays captured twenty-eight sturgeon,
which brought them in Sl,4O0. One Of their
biggest fish brought $50.
1t was thought that sturgeon had prac-
tically disappeared from the waters Of
the Delaware and at the last session Of the
Legislature Tdsh Commissioner Anderson
was thought to be advocating a lost cause
when he appeared before the Legislature
urging an appropriation for their propaga-
tion. He insisted day and night, however,
and finally got his bill through, some OF
the senators regarding 1t as a joke and
frequently referring facetously to the
fish eggs bill" 1t is now demonstrated
that the joke is only on the side of the
fishermen who coin the money every time
they ill keg Of the costly caviare, as the
roe Of the females is termed. All the shad
fishermen are excited over the sturgeon
possibilities and there will doubtless bs
no more shad hawked about
