by Sir James Outram to 80 from the
Alum-Bagh to Bunee Bridge. distance
Of IL miles. for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning how the garrison at that place
was getting on. Bunee was the only
position held by us on the main roa0
between CaWnPore and the Alum
Bagh, which were As miles apart.
We got along very well until within
two miles OF Bunee when a horde Of
muti1ous cavalry suddenly appeared
out of tope (clumpl of mango trees
about a quarter of mile of. The Off
GER commanding the party decided at
once that our only chance of escape
was to make the most of the distance
between us and the enemy's cavalry,
and scuttle. So off we went at hard
gallop, making for Bunee, followed up
by the enemy in full pursuit. But, to
cut this part of the story short, we out
paced them, got in safe and sound, and
were entertained to our hearts content
by the garrison.
While we were enjoying our excellent
supper the officer commanding at
Bunee sent an ide-de-camp to say that
he had most urgent information for Sir
John Inglis, commanding at Cawnpore,
which he was anxious should be car
ried to him at once. The commanding
officer said he was well aware it would
never do to weaken Sir James Outram's
force by detaching a number OF men,
and they would not get through the
numerous vedettes the rebels had on
the road; but he thought two of our
men would probably succeed in sneak
ing past any distractions they might
encounter Of course he was fully
aware that tie undertaking was a dan
gerous one; still, the risk must be
taken. So it was settled that two OF
us were to go to Cawnpore. The task
the officer commanding our party had
to tackle was to select those two, as
every man was anxious for the duty;
but, being a long-headed fellow, he got
over the difficulty by deciding that we
should draw lots. This was done, and
Sergt Butler and l were what we con-
sidered the priZe-drawers. Poor But

about eight milss. When we neared
the town OF buss eerutgunge we saw by
the glow of numerous fires that large

A FAMILIAR SOUND.

As our readers know there was recently serious lynching and riot in Danville, H.. resulting in the death of some of the party. the wounding of others and the lynching of one negro. There was the coroner's jury returned a verdict of death at the hands of persons who are unknown"
 That has remarkably familiar sound. We read 1t or hear 1t every time there is lynching bee. especially if the victim is negro. Often the lynchers--or some of them-are we'll known citizens. and quite frequently they make no effort to conceal their identity. And still the lynchers are unknown when an investiga- tion is made. It occurs in the South, and Southern people are criticised for their failure to expose and punish the violators of the law. But iynchlng occurs in a Northern town. in the best lighted por- ton. where hundreds of both women and children take part in 1t. and other hun dreds are spectators. When an investi- gation Is made the solemn stereotyped verdict, "came to his death at the hands of persons unknown to this jury'' is re- turned, and that will probably be the end of it. In The Chicago Record-Herald's special from Danville giving the details of the investigation this paragraph oc- CUTS:
 Night Captain Phillips and his five of- icers on duty at the city building during the lynching testified concerning their hard work to prevent the mob from talk ing their prisoner on the way to the police station. and still more arduous ef- forts in trying to keep the mob out of the station. They each saw members of the mob beating and kicking the murderer after he was found in the vault. but could not identify any of them.
 We also find this statement from another eyewitness who testified before the jury:
 He saw many blows rained upon May fields body and heard a blow struck upon the negro's head by a hammer in the hands of one of the mob, but he could not identify a single person he saw engaged in the killing.
 These are fair samples of the evidence given before the coroner, but there was much more of the same tenor. No one could Identify any one else. They were all strangers, each one to all the others. we must believe, If we place any credence in their testimony. It is just what usually happens, although Alabama jurles sometimes convict men in such cases. We very much doubt if any one will be con victed in Danville.

Reform Needed.

Birmingham Ledger.
 From the discussion that has followed the recent journey of the Alabama Press Association 1t seems likely a reform will be made before another is undertaken. The complaint this time is the complaint Of years-that fewer and fewer of news every year. It has grown the castom for the daily papers to be representa- by cor respondents and often by peopie not that close.y connected. This was emphasized this year.

Rountree says Colonel Falk- ner knew that the party was not made of says to have weeded out those not actual workers on the papers would have broken up the excursion to Canada and he had not the heart to do it. The excursion this and very probably there will be reform before the next excursion is made up. It would not do to have an excursion with
 The Xssociatiopp itself does no attract the men 1t ought to do. and there has come to be faint idea that 1t has fallen into the hands of a few and the bulk of otherwise would. Perhaps this discussion will bring about an all round reform that will make full association, and that full association can agree very quickly as to the excursion. If only newspaper work CTS are to go let it be known, and let 1t be known exactly what will be considered newspaper work. That will make a new, clear start and make no one who has been on one of the excursions feel badly. No harm has been done and none will be. and the whole matter can be settled in the Association at its next meeting. It Is hardly proper to keep saving away at the excursion just ended. Nobody wants to go if there is objection. but after the ex- cursion has returned is not the time to raise the objection.
 As the question is consistently pushed forward we might as we'll decide whether minority can do business in the name of the Association and clear the whole bus mess up and get back to a business con dition for the benefit of all the members.

Let the Association Cleanse Its Skirts.


 Some time ago The Rustler man had quite lot to say about the so-called Ala bama Press Association, and stated that we had never joined nor did we propose that permitted everything that wore trous- CTS and could read bold print to go as a representative of a newspaper that was a member of the Association: that we were approached by a business man to pur- chase our pass to the outing of two years ago. The offer astonished us and We asked If that was the custom of the Alabama Press Association. He replied that 1t was and was willing to guarantee that 70 per cent. of the members of the party who went on the outing were not connected at all with the papers they claimed to represent.
 Upon Investigating the matter we were astounded to find it was the fact there- fore positively refused to become a mem Der. although repeatedly requested to do so by Mr. Rouneree by. letter:
 It is a lamentable fact that there are now seventy one papers in the State of Alabama that are members of the Ala bama Press Association; yet. though they chine that moulds public opinion, and can wield wonderful influence for veal or woe. they have so acted in the past few years as to lead us to believe that a me- gro secret society could get cheaper rates for an outing than they can.
 There Is not a railroad in the State of Alabama but would be perfectly willing to issue passes over its road to every bona fide editor in the State, to have an outing, but when newspapers will stul- thy themselves by letting lawyers, phy- sicians, druggists, and even saloon men ride on passes secured through the Press Association, 1t is high time little whole some expulsion was inaugurated
 Let the Press Association cleanse it's skirts of the foul stain of the past few years and the State will be benefited by the change,

FALSE AND TRUE ARGUMENTS
The St. Louis Star has this typicalIy Republican view of protection:

| ~-~~0 N@-@N Republican view of protection:
 Protective duties are tax only in name, and this is conclusively shown by the fact that the individual does not live who can successfully figure the per cent he pays upon duties of this class.
 That is about on a par with the time worn and utterly false claim that "the foreigner pays the tarin." when we know that he does nothing of the kind. If there is tarift duty of 50 per cent, say, on any imported article. we all know that the American purchaser of the goods must pay that extra charge. Importers are not in the business for their health or for recreation. It is business with them, as with most other men in this business age. and they expect a profit when they bring goods to this country The Star says that the tariff duties 'are tax only in name" Are they? If our grocer adds 50 per cent. to the price of a barrel o2 flour, is it a tax in name only? True, we don't see him add on the extra figure, if he Is smart. and he doesn't tell us that he added it for the purpose of enriching himself at the expense of his customers. but we certainly feel it, when we come to pay the bill. and we can very safely testify that 1t is something besides name. The grocer might call it a theory but to us it would be a pocket depicting fact.

 Unequal taxation is unjust taxation. Unjust taxation is robbery. Those who impose unjust taxation are robbers. Those who are benefited by it are beneflciaries by robbery. They cannot be benefited without the injury of their rivals. who be- come the victims of such robbery.

DOES MIR. BANKHEAD CARRY ALABAMA IN HIS VEST
 PoCKETP

Under the heading Alabama Out For Gorman," the following special from Washington appears in The New York Herald: ft t"- sfF4 E .sour choice for President is Senator German" said Representative Banlkhead, of Alabama, today. He satisfies all alike. thus consolidating the various fac fions of the Party. 1t is the belief fn the South that he can be elected if nomi- mated. He is about the, only man who Is likely to carry New York State against President Roosevelt. and he has behind him the business strength of the country, as well as the Southern and Western voters. He can, am certain. have the Alabama delegation.' < This Is the first time the Democrats of Alabama have been aware that when Mir. Bankhead opened his mouth. all Alabama spoke. Yet it seems that this State is "out for German" because Mir. Bank head says so.
 Mr. Bankhead is a pretty shrewd polit. ical wire-puller of the German type, and he may be the Boss of Alabama, but SC far he has never demonstrated 1t. It has been generally understood that he has
 
 a seat in the United States Senate, but he has never had sufficient confidence in his ownership of the State to claim that seat. Neither have we heard of his boss. ing any State convention and naming any State ticket But, maybe. our recollection is poor. Possibly he has done a lot of things of that sort. and was. so very smart as to hide 1t out completely.
 So Mir. Bankhead has announced that Senator German "can have the Alabama delegation" This will save all the rest of the Party in Alabama a lot of trouble in the next year. and, of course, the bulk of Alabama Democrats will appreciate his thoughtfulness in taking the task of se- lectng candidate of of their hands. And then he is such a knowing man. He has even found out that Senator German is the only candidate that can beat Roose- welt in New York He even intimates that Wall Street is for him However, that is not new: the trusts and Mir. Cor man were mighty good friends when the Wilson tariff bill was emasculated in the Senate by Democrats.
 Maybe Mir. Bankhead carries Alabama in his vest pocket, and can let Mir. Cor man have the delegation next year, and maybe the rest of the Party will have a word to say on the subject, Time will tell.

facturers to monopoiixe the trade. then the great body of the American people are robbed for the bnent and enrichment of few favorites of the Party in power. In either case it is robbery. No tax can be laid and maintained for the benefit of a few persons or corporations without robbing others
 The Democratic Party ought to regard the correction of these evils as it's special mission No Party can engage in a more praiseworthy work than in lighting the wrongs of the people and ensuring equal and exact justice to all. No right-think- Ing man. we take it, would favor such a revolution in our tariff system as would in1ure any legitimate industry or prevent any American manufacturer from mak- ing fair profit. That would be neither just nor good politics, but the tariff can be so revised and equalized that a few favored ones will not be enriched at the expense of the great body of the Ameri. can people. That can be done and il ought to be done. Such revision and modification would be both right and Democratic.
 Any discussion among Democrats over the question of free silver can only come from those who never learn anything, or who wish to keep up strife and division in the Party. The issue is dead, and he who tries to resurrect it is an enemy to Democracy as well as to the Democratic Party. If there is anything in the issue of imperialism, it is because our govern ment has not done It's duty in connection with our newly acquired possessions, and it would be the duty of Democrats. if in power. to correct the evils which are the results of Republican misrule and mis- management or of something worse. Lei free silver sleep and let expansion rest and let our Party go into the tariff fight in earnest. Unjust taxation is rob. bery." and the present tarifr is unjust Protective duties are not "a tax only in name." and all intelligent men know 1t The path for Democrats to followsis plain direct and inviting.
