TERRORIzED BY NEGROES.
Lynehing Narrowly Averted--SeveraI
Attempted Murders And Deeds of ViO-
lence Stir Citizens to High Pitch of
Resentment.

CARLISLE, Pa, April l6-This community
is greatly wrought up by the affray of last
night when Alonzo Harris, alias Mason, a
negro, shot a white man and was himself in
danger of lynching at the hands of indignant
citizens who witnessed the unprovoked as
sault. He and a companion. Thomas White,
were hustled off to the Cumberland county
Jail before the angry mob had an opportunity
to wreak the vengeance upon which it seemed
bent. The charge against the two is telonious
assault with intent to kill, White having stabb'
ed the negro policeman who arrested him.
During drunken street brawl Harris, who
arrived here last week from the Huntington
Reformatory, insulted Harry Rinehart, a con-
tractor. In the exchange of words Harris
drew a revolver from his hip pocket and fired,
the bullet missing Rinehart and entering the
breast ofJohn Schraudenbaugh,w who was pass
ing by at the time, and whose family reside
in Philadelphia Schraudenbaugh was taken
10 the office of physician, where the bullet
was extracted.
Policeman Snowden, negro, appeared on
the scene, and in attempting TO arrest Harris
the latter fred at him.
While policemen we're taking Harris to Jail a
crowd of men who followed kept yelling:
Lynch the niggerr' Hang him on the tele
graph polel' BREAK down the Jail and take
him out and hang the wretch The energetic
work of the police alone saved Harris and
White from the mob.
White pulled a knife on Policeman Snow
den and inflicted several slight wounds. Hsr-
ris is al old offender He was sent TO the
Eastern Penitentiary for highway robbery.
On his return home from serving the sentence
of two years he was again convicted on a sim
liar charge and sent to the Huntingdon Re.

criminal record Early in The week negro

up and robbed. and this was followed by the
Goens crime, the week closing with the shoot.
ing of chrau1enbangh and the attempted
lynching. Threats of summary vengeance are
heard. The crimes were all committed by
negroes.

men charged with the brutal assault and rob
berry on Jacob Shenk and son at New Kings

The Administrators Blunders.

The Roosevelt Administration has been
badly laundering in its dealings with the re-
publics south of us. The President and the
State Department, in undertaking to act as
debt collector for the creditors of Santo Do
mingo, and trying to bring the action under
the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, was an
ignominious failure. The treaty that was me-
gotiated with Santo Domingo was held up in
the Senate, and the prominent Republican
Senators convinced the President that he was
in error as to the meaning aud scope of the
Monroe Doctrine. Still determined to force
a ratification of the treaty the President sent
another message to the Senate, in which he
omitted all reference to the Monroe Doctrine,
and argued that the treaty should be ratified
because the President of Santo Domingo asked
the United States to take charge of its finances
and settle the debts against the government,
and because, if the treaty was not ratified, there
was probability of foreign governments TAX
ing measures to secure possession of the ports
of Santo Domingo. The Senate was not con-
WINGED and adjourned without ratifying the
treaty. The President has sent two persons
TO Santo Domingo to act for that government
in collecting and disbursing lis revenues, but
gave them to understand that they were not
representatives of the United States, but solely
agents for the Santo Domingo government
Recently the State Department requested
the Venezuelan government to submit some
claims by citizens of the United States against
that government, and put the demand in the
form of an ultimatnm, with an implied threat
that the United States might take steps to see
that the debts we're paid. The claims had
already been submitted to the Venezulan
courts, aud President Castro made vigorous
reply, asking the Roosevelt Administration if
the United States recognized the integrity OF
the Venezuelan courts. This was poser, and
the United States was placed in a very awkard
position. The whole diplomatic corps in
Washington was amused at the manner in
which Castro discounted the Roosevelt Ad-
ministraiion. 1t ives intimated that the United
States would vigorously resent any suggestion
from a European government, whose citizens
owned stock in the railroads involved in the
Northern Securities Company, to submit the
claims Of its citizens to arbitration after the
United States courts had the Northern Secu.
rites case under consideration.
1t has been said the United States was
.blufing' and Castro called the .bluh. =
There was no bluff about lit was a bluader
pure and simple, and the Roosevelt Admins
tration has dropped the whole matter, as the
easiest way of getting out Of a very ernbar-
RAISING position.

The Baltimore City Loans.

Judging from the large amount Of etior,
being made to carry the ten million dollar
sewer loan and other loans in Baltimore, there
mus, be much opposition to them. Even a
campaign fund Is being raised to fight the
loans through at the May election.
A sewerage system would be great i'm.
provement and benefit to the city. Whether
this is the lime 10 inaugurate it is matter for
the people Of Baltimore to determine. We
believe the people in the annex, who now pay
a 60 cent tax rate. will hesitate before voting
to come in under the 81. II rate, aud have
their assessments increased SIS, 000, 900.
The management of the loans campaign are
using very specious argument TO convince the
people that the loans should be endorsed.
The expenditure loan for the annex improve
ments, s., OOO, 600, is expected 10 add $2s.-
O0O, coo to the taxable basis. The increase in
the taxable basis in the burnt district is ex-
pecied to be $4,000, 600. Within three years
the tax rate is expected to decrease and within
ten years the rate is expected to drop a
cents. These are mere estimates of enthasi-
asts. aud may or may not be realized. Ia the
beginning there will be raise in the tax rate
and additional cost to each property owner
for connection with the sewers.
The loan enthusiasts argue that the loans
will actually redeem themselves. Il would
seem, then, that by adding debt of about
fifteen millions Of dollars to the already exist.
ing debt of more than thirteen millions, the
tax rate viii speedily begin to diminish and
she loans pay of themselves. If by increasing
the debt these good results will follow. why
no, borrow thirty or forty millions of dollars,
then there would be no taxation and the loans
will dissolve without man. Intervention.
The loans management ought to deal fair
with the people. Impress them with the
benefits to be derived from the expenditure
of the money if they choose, but tell them
that there viii be an increase in taxation and
that the loans must be repaid by levying taxes.
The people should remember that there is
probability of politics getting into the work
and expenditures, notwithstanding the alleged
precautions to the contrary. The city is in
the hands Of Republicans, and Republicans
are politicians first and will seek every ad.
vantage possible. They are patriots before
an election and Republican partisans and
spoilsmen ifthey win. Mayor Timanus speaks
easy but carries big stick, as Roosevelt ad-
vises He has been as much of a spoilsmen
rs the city charter would permit.

Potatoes Fed to Stock.

GENEVA, N. T., April 1S.-Rather than
bring their potatoes to town to get fifteen cents
bushel for them, many farmers are feeding
them to their stock, letting them rot on their
hands or scattering them on their fields for
fertilizers.
High prices year ago tempted farmers to
plant heavily, the result being a large over
production. Prices opened low in the fall, at
about so cents. Farmers held till spring, ex-
pecting the price to go up, but il has gone
down until potatoes now are drug on the
market At least ten thousand bushels are
said to have gone to waste in this vicinity.

Down in Charles county-the home Of Hon.
Sydney E. Mudd-the road supervisors are ne.
groes, selected more on account of their po-
litical activity than for their efficiency. 1t
would be difficult, we believe, to select an
efficient negro to work the public roads, as
the best of them lack good judgment. The
roads there, says the La Plata Times Ores
cent, are in worse condition than for many
years, and suggests that white men of intelli-
gence be selected for road supervisors. This
is asking too much of Mr.. Mudd, who is in
fact the whole county government. He must
keep his dusky brethren in line for him, and
there are but few places he can give them ex
cept superyisorships. The people Of that
county will have to wait for the wind and sun
to put the roads in passable condition-negro
supervisors cannot be dispensed with. Sydney
must swim, even if the roads sink.
