THE CASE OF THE RUSSIAN JEW

1t is strangely true psychology that
in the moment of liberty the first
thought of long bonded peoples is apt
to be to practice the wrongs of which
they have only just been delivered.
Nor does the oppression, the license,
the blood-lust of the mob measure
itself by revenge. 1t takes the line
of least resistance. Any victim will
do, the weakest seeming the more
preferable. Wrthing from years of
cruelty, the stunted sense of the serf
appears to feel that only by death
and outrage upon others can his own
emancipation be fittingly celebrated.
The human rebound from tyranny is,
for the time, more terrible than the
per fected system itself. 1t is a new
game played with all the ardor of
inexperience. 1t is heartless imita
ton which out-runs it's example, a
de-humanizing intoxication following
upon the cup of humanity itself.
Just now Russia is drunk, Keeling,
staggeringly, beastially drunk. The
fires of Vodka never lit in the heart of
the individual such passion of incon-
thence, such lust of blood as famed
in the mob at the thought of freedom
The surrender of the Car, born of
fear turned loose the tiger in his peo-
pie which his cruelties had fed.
Amazed, stunned and trembling at the
result, the policy of the authorities
i'm the crisis was Russian to the core.
Fearing for their own heads, the army
and the police have encouraged the
most pitiful massacre that the world
has known in many years, waiting for
the brute spirit of their making to
gorge itself with blood. Appalled,. they
have stood aside while the oppressed
oppressed; have laughed as those ac-
customed to feel the knout welded

COTTON GOODS DON'T GO UP.

Mr.. Sully said when he was in RAJ
eigh that cotton manufacturers could
paw thirteen cents a pound for cot
ton and still make money. That
was true of most of the products of
cotton. The best possible condition
for the South is high cotton and such
rise in the finished product as will
give good profits to manufacturers. 1t
seems from Dunn's Review that there
has been no increase in cotton goods
since the increase in cotton. Dunn
says:
Activity continues at textile mills.
but the primary markets for cotton
goods were decidedly disturbed by the
violent advance in raw material. Thus
far there has been no corresponding
change in finished products. but pro-
duccrs are reluctant to make contracts
at what may prove improbable prices
and are also apprehensive of repe-
tition of previous speculative advances.
when the market followed the infla-
ton of raw material sufficiently to
restrict business seriously and brought
about the usual reaction. AS the plants
are now well occupied it would not
require prolonged period of apa-
thy to cause overproduction, hence
the conservative interests strive TO re-
tain normal conditions.

PessimiStic Gratitude.

/ don't see much that pleases me,
No matter where l turn;
The world is full of dis"Outent,
And lessons none can learn.
The weather's' always 100 intense;
Too hot or else too cold.
One day they tell you you're too young
And next day you are too old.
Dame Fortune is to me unkind,
For even when | score,
/ know that by a different plan
I might have gained much more.
I've known the pangs of hunger keen
I've felt dyspepsia's clutch
I've either not enough to eat,
Or else l eat too much.
Though punishment is often swift,
Reward is very slow;
An enemy is always true,
Though friends are seldom so.
And yet I'll hail Thanksgiving Day
With sentiments deVout-
I'm thankful for so many things
That 1 can't kick about.

The great development that is going

been bottled up because of the lack of
transportation facilities.
The building of this road is but
the postponement of the plans
made by Gen. r. T.. Ho<e. and other
progressive Southern men thirty years
ago. Gen. Hoke understood the great
possibilities of that section. the mex
haustible ore mines in the Blue
Ridge, and the construction of this
road to Rutherfordton was q part of
his plan when he developed the Gram
berry iron mine. Then the money
was not available and the enterprise
could not be carried through, but
upon practically the same lines it IS
now being constructed.

"NEND IT OR END IT."

I'm to this time during the present
season. nineteen young men have been
killed i'm football and one hundred
and thirty-seven have been severely
wounded some of whom are crippled
for life. Chancellor McCocken, or the
University of New York, urges the
abolition of football, or such thor
ouob change in the game as to elim-
mate it's three chief evils. which he
enumerates thus: 1. Its homlclual
feature; 2. The exaltation of bulk ana
hrawn over brain; The exultation or
.,nonev-making. Mr.. McCracken as
serts that the game is worse than the
etnaant duels at the German Univer-
stiles and "the players stand beneatn
the gladiators of ancient Rome
President Hadley, of Yale, who does
NOT believe in ending the game, VIII
make a statement shortly-will, point
TO the fact that of the nineteen foot-
hall nIavers who have been killed by
football this season, eleven were hish
school players, while the remaining
eight were members of teams belong-
ing to institutions where the game
has not been developed along the
HIGHEST lines. He will instance the
Vale Princeton and the Yale-Harvard
games. in which not single man was
seriously hurt and in which there were
no evidences of foul play, as living oo
iects of what football can be made,
if the PLAYERS are properly trained
and understand the fine points of the
game. Exactly what President 1au-
lev expects to prove by calling atten-
ton to the fact that the young men
killed belonged to schools where the
game has not been developed along
the highest lines" we do not UNDER
stand. one of the young men killed
was a student in the New YORK UNI
versitv. But unless boys begin TO play
football in high schools ana smaller
colleges where will the larger colleges
get material? Most of the good play
ers began necessarily where the game
had not been been developed along the
highest lines But is not the lie Oh
y. youth in such school as Vaiuaple
to the University and as dear TO ms
parents as if he had matrlculateu a'
Yale or Harvard?
No college, which has been engaged
IN intercollegiate games, has yet elth-
er abandoned or reformed foot-pai.
For some years Trinity College IN inns
State has not permitted its students
to play away from the college, anu
now we are told that Prof. Card, head
of athletics, will introduce foot-ball
after the old Rugby game in when
the brutal part is eliminated we
are told that 'the game is open SO
that anv one can see just what is go
ing on through the different stages OF
the game, and at no time is there
piling UP the two teams, therefore
giving no chance for any member OF
either team to resort to brutal force.
In this game the small man can pe-
come a player as well as large one
for weight does not count. Every man
is on an equal footing, as the weight Oh
the PLAYERS is not required to win, but
the man who is active, nimble ana
whose mind mind is trained to work

The edict of the world, which loves
manly sports, has gone forth that The

AN AUTUMN REVERIE.

The trees are growing thin and bare,
The russet and gold of Autumn,
Iinge the forest everywhere.
Nature is crying, softly crying,
TO mOTtals passing by.
AS the autumn leaves are falling,
Your time is drawing nigh
The spring came softly singing,
With vcrdant hopes SO high
The summer came wish golden fruit,
And nature begun to die.
The seasons are but a picture.
OF human life. so fair
Blooming green in springtime,
In summer and autumn growing
bare.
The pleasures and hopes Of early life,
Wither like forest leaves,
And the most beautiful faces.
Are SO changed our spirit grieVeS.
For we are dying, slowly dying,
Like autumn leaves that we see
The russet and gold of the dying year.
Are tinging you and me.
But springtime will come again
With flowers and singing birds,
The landscape Will bloom in beauty.
To cheer the lowing herds.
SO viii man rise immortal.
To greet that blessed morn.
In land all tinged with glory.
Forever FREQ from storm.
There no winter blast will greet us.
No change in face or form.
Pleasures vii! be immortal
There no sorrow viii ever come.

Speaks of death and the grave,
The beautiful flowers of springtirc,

That he was ignorant OF the nature
he had spent four months in prison is
one of the grounds upon which a par
don is to be asked for Frank Cairo, an
Italian, now serving ten-year SEN
tence in the penitentiary at Walla
Walla.
1t is also alleged that since the trial
new evidence has been secured tend
ing to show that the case was one of
blackmail and that Cairo was innocent
of the charge against him.
Cairo. who was an employee of the
Northern Pacific railroad, working near
Lind, was convicted upon the testi-
mony of a tramp named Davis, who
charged Cairo and a companion with
the commission of a crime against his
person.
Cairo and his companion were given
separate trials and, upon what is said
to have been precisely the same testi-
mony, his companion was acquitted by
one jury and Cairo found guilty by an
other. After the trial a motion was
made for a new trial, but was denied,
the affidavits in support of the motion
not being obtainable until too late.
Cairo had no money with which to ap-
peal to the supreme court, and began
the service of his sentence.
James Finlay of Odessa, one of the
attorneys who defended Cairo at the
trial. and who declares his firm belief
in his innocence, is now in charge of
a petition for his pardon. The matter
has already been brought to the atten-
ton of the governor, and Mr.. Finlay
believes that with the prominent names
he is securing to the petition the par
don will be granted.
The petition is headed by Judge c.
H Neal, who presided at the trial, and
Judge w. T. Warren, who now occu-
SCSSNNoSoi'
also bears the signatures of several of
the jurors and Mr.. Finlay says he is
confident that every juror will sign, as
none whom he has yet seen have one
clned to do So
THE Italian ambassadors attention
has been called to the case" says Mr..
Finlay, ''for the purpose of bringing
the case into the United States courts,
for the reason that there was no one
there to interpret the charge to the de-
PENDANT when he was arraigned, and
James Plastino, Italian interpreter to
the superior courts, says that the de-
| PENDANT was ignorant of the charge
against him until after he had been in
