The following item is from Web
ster's Weekly, Published In Rock
ingham county:
ave must confess that Rocking
ham county for the past six or sew
en- years has been establishing an
unenviabIe record for murders and
homicides. There Ii something
wrong with the administration OF
justice in our county; human life Ii
held too cheap"
The editor Of the Weekly should
first look at the cause and then the
remedy.
Six or seven years ago we hsd
red-shirt rule in North Carolina,
and isn't 1t possible that Rocking
ham county Is now reaping the re-
suits Of such rule. Aycock, the
great Educational Governor" said
that ''under Fusion Rule crime
stalked abroad at MONDAY, sleep
lay down with alarm and the sound
of the pistol was more frequent
than the song of the hooking bird. !"
But what was the condition during
his administration? The records
show that more crimes were COM
mitted in this State during his term
of Office than ever before for the
same period since Reconstruction
Days. And could anything else
have been expected when we con-
slider the condition of affairs that
were brought about in this State to
put him and his crowd in Office.
When the lives of Populists and
Republican speakers were threatened
if they filled their appointments,
when the speakers stand was torn
from under them, when stale eggs
were thrown at them, when their
rooms were broken into at the dead
hour IF the night and the speaker
forced to leave town at the point OF
| pistols and when even men were
shot down by rowdies, is it any
wonder that we have had a reign Of
lawlessness in this State ever since.
These crimes were committed by
drunken red-shirt and rowdies
armed with pistols and winchesters
which crimes were, in some cases
instigated and in most all, counte
nanced by the leaders Of the Demo
ocratic party. It will certa inly
take champaign Of Education" t.

right to shoot down their fellow
men. And as a further remedy il
would be we'll to revise your jury

GOVERNOR AUSTIN.

Horace Austin, who died this morning, was
the sixth governor of the state of Minnesota.
He served between William K. Marshall and
Cushman K Davis his two terms covering the
years from 1870 to 1874 His public service in
addition to his terms as governor was long and
useful He was subsequent to his state service,
in the treasury and interior department at
IWashington and previously had been judge
of the district court for the sixth district.
/ Governor Austin is not we'll known to this
generation tho his term of office fruitful
of beneficial measures. He was lavish of recon-
mendation to the Legislature, and lived to see
some of his most important measures become
laws He was the author of the suggestion for
la revised criminal code, which the state obtain
ed some years ago. He also secured biennial
sessions of the Legislature, which have become
the rule among American states.
He was one of the first in Minnesota
to recognize the possibilities of Duluth harbor
and recommended strongly it's improvement
He worked also for the holding of a constitu-
tional convention, something which has not yet
come to pass. In 1887 Governor McGll appoint
ed former Governor Austin member of the
state railroad and warehouse commission, where
he did valuable work for the state.
The state has lost within week two former
governors. OF the fifteen men who have sat in
the executive chair, but six are now living.
Governor Austin may be said to belong to
the pioneer period of the state. He belongs
naturally in the mind with such men as Pills
bury, Marshall and Hubbard. He represents
the time when the state young, when poll
tics tho vigorous and lusty, was untanted with
money machinery. While the state usually
had republican governors in those days. it was
because the people of Minnesota had been
recruited from the regions where freedom was
a battlecry and the state intensely anti
slavery. The old governors made good bust
ness records. Some of them subsequently made
great names in national politics. But the state
remembers with equal pride and affection men
like Pil1sbury and Austin, whose service was
all for Minnesota Minneapolis Journal
