AS Others See Him.

Geo. M. Wanbaugh, the Harrisburg
representative of the Philadelphia
North American, pays the following
compliment to Cameron county's ener-
getic and faithful Representative, who
devotes his best energy towards the
enactment of Legislation in the interest
of the people:
''The women of Pennsylvania have a
sturdy champion in the legislature in
Josiah Howard, the ''little giant of
Cameron" MIR. Howard wants the
Constitution amended so as to permit
women to vote for School Directors,
and upon all questions relating to the
public schools. He believes they are
entitled to this right, and he is very
much in earnest in his efforts to bring
this about.
Mr.. Howard makes up in brains and
energy, what he lacks in size and
weight He is chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, and mem
Der of other important committees. he
is As years old, and has made a fortune
in the lumber business. He is one of
the few Republicans elected to the
Legislature from Cameron county.
This is Mr.. Howard's second term"
Cameron county heartily endorses
his course, especially his efforts to
amend the Constitution giving women
the right to vote upon all questions re
lating to the public schools, the same
as many st ltes have for years granted.
The ladies, as rule take great interest
in educational matters, large ma
jority of the teachers in every county
being ladies and Cameron county has
for many years elected a lady county
superintendent of schools.

RAILROADS.

Require Them to be Fair to the Pub
lie and the Public Fair to Them.
Much has been said of late about
railroads and railroad rates, both pas
senger and freight, and how best 10
regulate and control them. In dealing
with this question, I would urge upon
the general assembly to carefully ex-
anime the whole matter of railroads,
and while doing everything the law
allows in protecting the people against
unjust discrimination, heavy rates, and
unnecessary hardships, at the same
time to treat the railroads with per-
feet fairness and give them every legal
right which belongs to them. Rail-
roads are the great arteries Of COM
merce, and have been the means OF de-
veloping and building up our resources
as no other factor in the state has, and
therefore should be looked upon, not
as hostile to the states interest, but
as one of Its most helpful agencies.
There are certain things therefore that
should be required Of the railroads IN
carrying out their obligations to the
people as common carriers, and GER
tain protection should be given them
against the unjust demands and ex-
actions of prejudiced litigants .-kx-
tract from Governor Glenn's Message.

ATROCIOUS PEONAGE.
\ Man and His Children Made Slaves
of in Southern State.

The department of justice today gave
out the following statement in regard
to peonage cases in Mississippi:
The department of justice has re-
ceived details Of a peculiarly atrociOus
case of peOnage alleged TO have Oc
CURED in Franklin county, Miss.
1T appears from testimony taken be-
fore the United States commissioner,
that man named Dan January was
in debt TO one Levi D. Carter, a white
farmer. Carter in company with some
companions seized January. bound him
hand and foot and beat him most bru-
tally, the assailants taking turns in SO
doing until they were exhausted and
their victim unconscious.
January's children removed him to
his brothers home Carter followed
him there the next day, produced a
rope and threatened to hang him unless
he consented to be sold, with his entire
family. Another white farmer, Pat
rick, bought them paying Carter about
one thousand dollars.
Patrick. Carter, and two accom-
plicesb Williams and King, were ar
rested.
Patrick was discharged at the
hearing as January testified that Pat
rick had not forcibly detained any of
them in captivity Inasmuch, however,
as he will probably lose his $1,000, he
may not escape sufficient punishment.
Garter, whom the evidence depicts
in a most revolving light, waived ex-
animation and gave bail in $4,000
His companions were also held for the
grand jury in less amounts.

lin the southeast, in which the secra-
