THE VALUE OF COURAGE.

If there is decentralization ar-
parent among some Of the demo
cratic leaders it is due TO lack of
moral courage. Instead of stand.
ing up and fighting republican
policies all along the line, manv of
them are afraid to be democratic
for fear they will offend the mel
who left :he party III 1896 and who
now refuse to return unless the
party avoid disputed questions
Aside from the moral depravity
involved in the offer to sell the
party's convictions for the votes of
plutOcratS or foi campaign contri-
buttons, it is disastrous from even
the low standpoint Of expediency.
jefferson once said of man that
he had no, yet learned the import
ant truth that firm adherence to
principle was the best handmaid
even unto ambition. There is
crying need for real, pure and
fearless democracy. The repnbll-
can party is delivered over into
the hands of organized wealth, and
a bold attack upon that party's
policies-not one, but all Of them-
would win more votes than the
party would lose among those
who call themselves democrats
merely because they were born
that way or joined the party be-
fore they became pecuniarily iden-
tilted with great corporate inter-
ests. A few brave opponents of
democracy who cannot be terror
lied by the financiers are worth
whole yard full of weak-kneed
drawers of salary who divide their
time between running from their
shadows and flirting with purse
proud ex-democrats. The attitude
Of these timid democrats is illus
trated by the remark Of colonel
who was retreating with his regi-
ment and who reproved some of
his men for firing an occasional
shot. He shouted: "Quit shoot
ing! You just make them mad
dern" 1t is time that those who
aspire to leadership should face
toward the enemy aud make an
attack. In II political fight an
ounce Of moral courage is worth a
pound of office itch. Unless man
thinks more Of principl than OF
Office he is not deserving of official
reward-and furthermore is not
likely to hold Office when the peo-
pie awake to their duty.-Com-
nOner.

W. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-President
Roosevelt to-day again stirred the wrath
OF Southern people by nominating for
Collector Of the Port Of Charleston, S.
c., William y. Crum, a negro doctor.
Crum was recommended by Booker 7.
Washington, the colored leader, whom
the President invited TO dine with him
several months ago. This appointment,
with the closing OF the Indianola, Miss.

deep resentment.
Senator McLaurin Of Mississippi to-day
called upon Postmaster General Payne in
behalf OF the patrons Of the Indi2nola
postofice, who resent the appointment Of
the negress. Mrs. Cox. He asked that the
postomce be reopened with one of Mrs.
Coxs bondsmen in charge. Decision is
reserved, pending further information.
The appointment Of DR.. Crum had been
vigorously opposed by leading citizens Of
Charleston, headed by Mayor Smyth, and
leading white men OF the entire State
Charges Of political treachery were made
against Crum.
TILLMAN WILL PROTEST.
South Carolinians are looking to sena-
tor Tfllmsn 70 prevent the confirmation
OF DR.. Crum- Senator Tillman said to-
night
I propose TO vote against the confirm
alton OF Crum because OF my weIl-known
objection 70 the appointment Of negroes
TO Federal Offices. I can assure my peo-
pie OF the fullest investigation. and hear
ing before the committee. Ny personal
objection 70 Crum's color may not have
any influence upon the Senate I regard
this selection as a direct bid for the ne
gro delegates in the Southern States and
for influence in the Northern and West
ern States, where the negro vote holds
the balance Of power in the Republican
party"
Postmaster General Payne. in discuss
ing the Indisnola postofice case, tonight
said:
The situation is very serious. Mrs.
Cox is postmistress, a Government off,

act Of the people Of IndianoIa. Postohice

What about the people Of Indianola

No one but the Government has the right

Senator McLaurin asked for permission

ALI Western Rail-
roads Receive
Demands.
Increase of Twenty Per
Cent in Pay Is
Asked For.
Thousands of Employees Of
Transportation Lines
Affected.

CHICAGO. Jan 5.-Grievance commit
tees representing every road entering Chi
cago met here to-day and negotiations
were started which are expected to re-
suit in an increase in wages for thousands
Of conductors. and brakemen on Western
roads. Similar committees met in every
railroad center west of Chicago. The men
are all members of the order of Railway
Conductors or the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen. and have made demands
in behalf of their unions for a 20 per cent
increase in wages. an eight-hour day and
overtime pay. While each road will deal
with committee Of its own employees. it
is expected that any agreements entered
into will be uniform
While the committees make their head
quarters here, their chairmen and ths
grand officers Of the two orders will hold
conferences with railroad officials at ST.
Louis, for which city they left tonight.
The committees will take fnal action
themselves and the grand officers will
simply act in an advisory capacity unless
failure TO agree appears probable.
EXPLAINS THE DEMANDS.
William G. Lee, vice grand master Of
the trainmen. before leaving for St. Louis
with the other grand officers tonight.
said the trainmen hardly expected to have
their full demands acceded to. He said
each road had its own committee. which
would meet the management Of that par
ucular road from which the COMMITTEES
came and he expressed the belief that in
ereases would be granted at not less than
II per cent more than the present wages.
In explaining the 20 per cent increase de-
mand. Lee said that it did not mean that
each man in the service should receive
that increase, but that it was based on
a mile run, which is considered a DAYS
work.
st. Louis advices say that a meeting
of delegates was held there tonight. but
it was Of a secret nature and just what
was accomplished is conjectural.
CONFERENCE IN ST. PAUL.
OF the four railroad systems whose gen
eral offices are in St. Paul. only the Chi
Chicago and Great Western held confer
ence with the conductors and trainmen to-
day. The conference was entirely amic-
able, but no definite results were arrived
at. The men expressed confidence that a
settlement would be reached either to-
morrow morning or in the afternoon.
At Topeka delegates representing tbs
Order of Railway Conductors and Railway
Trainmen are in session II is probabIs
that the Santa Fe will be asked for a n

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 5.-The Republi-

first time in ten years. Former Governor
4. f. White of Dillon was chosen for

that F. Augustus Heinze was defeated in

MOST HORRIBLE DEATH.
Negro Paid for His Assault on White
Girl,

Wheeling, w. Va.-A special to the
Register from Bluefields says: The
little town Of Devon, Mingo county,
was the scene recently Of the assault
ing of a little IA year old girl by a
negro, followed by his subsequent
lynching by an enraged mob number
ing over 200 men. The little girl was
caught short distance from her home
by the negro and carried to neigh
boring wood where her body was tied
to tree, bound and gagged. Her
absence was noticed by the neighbors,
who Immediately formed themselves
into searching party. She was found
in an almost dying condition, but was
able to tell to the horror stricken
searchers the story. Wild were the
cries for vengeance when the little
girls story was heard, but after con-
sultation it was decided to lay in wait
for the flend.
In short time he appeared and
was just renewing his assault upon
the helpless child when the entire mob
of concealed searchers emerged and
made for him. He would have been
torn limb from limb on the spot, but
the horrible crime of the negro de-
manded more cruel death and the
cool heads kept the enraged mob back
and the negro was dragged to the vii
lage common and bound to tree.
Again the mob gave vent to their wild
desire for revenge and it was by the
greatest efforts Of the leaders that
they were kept back.
The clothing of the negro was torn
from his body and pins, tacks, PEN
knives and every conceivable weapon
of torture was stuck into the skin of
the negro as he struggled, vainly
pleading for his life. He was allowed
to suffer a hundred deaths, with his
body bleeding in a thousand places.
The almost lifeless form of his victim
was then placed before the glazing
eyes of the brute, while willing hands
cut the tongue from his swollen mouth.
His cries became incoherent and be-
fore the enraged citizens could be
checked the skin was literally cut from
his body and distributed among the
villagers. He died with his eyes on
the little girl whose life he had ruined.
His heart was then cut out with jack
knives, his toes and fingers chopped
off and carried away as mementoes.
His bloody and mangled form was
then soaked with kerosene and fired.

Doctor Porter had responded to II
note left at his door by farmer, ask
ing him to go as soon as possible to
see his little boy, who had "a very
bad cold"
The doctor took one look at the child
and turned to the mother.
Don't you know your boy Is coming
down with measles?" he asked, severe
ly. . -,
the woman.
"Then what in the world did you
mean by writing me he had "a very
bad cold?" asked the doctor.
The woman hesitated for moment;
then, looking at her husband, she said,
with sullen frankness, Neither him
uor me knew how to spell measles"
