HIS FIRST DEATH SENTENCE.

United States District Judge Pur-
nell has returned to the city from
Wilmington, where he passed SEN
tence on Adams, Sawyer and Scott,

tiny and murder aboard the schooner
Harry A. Berwind in October. Un-
less there is delay by higher
court, or unless President Roosevelt.
sees fit 10 commute the sentence,
which is not at all likely, the ne
groes will be hanged on January 26.
In many ways the case was diff
ferent from any of the kind ever
heard by a North Carolina jury.
The crime was most atrOcieus, con-
spiracy having been formed by the
mutineers to slaughter the captain
and crew. There were eight men
0abs I'D the schooner, five Of whom
were killed.
Judge Purnell has been on the
bench seven years, and this is the
first time he has had to perform the
disagreeable duty Of sentencing a
man to be hanged.
The docket disposed of was the
heaviest Wilmington circuit has
ever had, there being nine sentenced
to the Federal prison for various Of
feDses, aud many lesser convictions,

Southern Democratic politicians
(who are at heart against the Presi'

rates but who are afraid to openly
take that position) have been trying
to work up sentiment against the
rate regulation, first by the Jim Crow

was an attack on State rights, and
now lastly they are trying to revive
another sham battle on the tariff to
divert the issue.

Democratic Machine Steals Election in
Kentucky.
Washington Post.
There was one election Tuesday
where bossism was not overthrOwn.
Louisville did nobly, and the ma
chine voted, inundated, dubbed,
and counted its way to glorious vic.
tory. In many precincts no election
was held, but these were ungodly
anti-machine communities that have
no rights that bosses are bound to
respect. In many instances the cleo.
tion paraphernalia was stolen, and
thus adverse majorities were avoided.
Election officials got drunk in order
to avoid opening the polls.
The police performed prodigies,
breaking the heads Of decent and
prominent citizens, and protecting
repeaters in their intrepid onslaughss
on the purity of the ballot. Not
since .Bloody Monday" of the he
roic age Of 1856, has Louisville
passed through such q carnival of
Outrage and atrocity as that she ex-
perienced Tuesday-if the half that
Is told Of 1t be true.
It Is fearful price the successful
candidates paid for their victory.
The citizens right TO vote was de-
MED him his right to peacefully
protest against outrage was violated !;
he was arrested for that, clubhed,
carried to Jail, and registered as q
maiefactor. It was the old New
York plan of Rynder's day the
Baltimore Plug Ugly plan of Know
Nothing times the Philadelphia
plan, just discarded in that respect
able old town, and discarded every
where else except at Louisville, KY.
But 1t was victory, all the same.
The machine got the majority, and
at Louisville the machine is the
Democratic party. It matters moth.
ing that the machine is in decided
minority In that community. It
had the election machinery in its
hands, and it manipulated the vote
solely with view to its material
advantage.
