THE INSANITY DODGE.

The Winston Union Republican Is
everlastin"Iv correct in its opinion
about the thin yelled excuse for ac-
quitting murdererS on the insanity
dodge. Between the socalled un-Wrlt-
ten law and the plea of insanity the
gallows or Il life term i'll the penlten-
tiarv are too frequently cheated OF
their lawful and legitimate dues.
Should one feel shocked and wonder
at the frequency Of hOmicides and
murders when'human life is regarded
so cheapIy and high handed offenders
against the law 50 easily escape the
penalty OF their acts? The Union
RepUbLcan says:
The insanity plea in case OF muir
Ter, is to say the least Il weak excuse
to dodge Justice. Just u few days
ago in an adjacent count" there was
Il serious shooting affraE by some
well connected people ana while the
life Of one "hung i'll the balance"
the plea of insanity. temporary or
permanent, it matters very little
which. was already being minated
by friends and counsel for the defense.
In this instance the patient rallied
and the insanity dodge has been
hUshed Had death occurred, the
gallOws or the penitentiary would
have undoubtedly been cheated OF
their dues. Most murders are com
united by men i'll the full possession
of their senses unless you admit pas
sion, jealousy, some %rudge or re-
venge as IL guise for insanity. II
men possessing these are crazy, then
there is need to enlarge the asylums.
The world is full Ofthem and murder
is only an extreme limit to which
these unfortunates allow the devil to
drive them and for which they should
be held strictly to account.
THE Charlotte ObserTerthinks that
Il good deal OF unnecessary boredom
might be saved ii the vice presidential
notifications were cut out altogether
To which we heartily agree. But
when did it become customary fO1
vice-presidential candidates to &C
through the non sensible and useless
formaIity of being notified of their
nomination?

NO FRIEND OF LOAFING NE
GROES.

Henry Hayes an industrious and
thrifty negro man of Lexington, is
no friend of the loafing negro. He is
q w Ii man himself and he be-
lievt 81. Others working. And if they
will not work voluntarily, Hayes
believes the law should be invoked
to make them work. A Lexington
dispatch to the Charlotte Chronicle
says:
Henry Hayes Il well-to-dO colored
man ofthis place, approached party
of idle negroes at the Southern sta
ton and asked one to help him two
hours unloading a car of coal. The
negro said he didn't want to get
dirty for such a small Job. Hayes
didn't do a thing but swear out war
rants for the lot OF them and three
were arrested and fined S4.6O for
"vagrancy." Hayes, who has ac-
cnmuluted perhaps $1,000, is not a
friend of the loafng negroes.

Adams Moved to Action.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
Saturdays paper carried the news
that Judge Adams had brought suit
for libel against ex-senator Marion
Butler and the Caucasian, for pub
licatiOns in regard to the Indian Ter
ritory Citizenship Court, in which
Judge Adams was boldly accused OF
receiving brides. There will be two
suits-one against Butler and one
against the Caucasian Company.
The amount sued for from the ex-
Senator is $4,000. The amount in
the second case is yet to be set The
bringing of these suits is no surprise,
for the charges have been kept going
in one shape or another in spite of
denials and Judge Adams claims to
have evidence that Mr. Butler is back
of the whole business. The outcome
will be awaited with interest.

THE PLACE FOR HIM

Rocking the boat or rocking the
train are tw O entirely different things,
but the fellow found guilty of doing
either ought to be sent to do duty
on the rock pile.-Greenville Re-
Hector.
The rock pile, as the RehectOrsays,
is the proper place for the fellow who
rocks the boat or throws rocks at Il
train. but some how we can't get
sway from the idea that any one
who shoots at train or shoots from
n train and kills a person ought to
be hung.

road over the mountains. Ii Joint
arrangement could be made between
the Clinchfeld aud the Seaboard COM
panies to run through trains from

would not more than meet the re-

would be thereby connected up with

 N0T RIGHT MAN
Arrested in Globe Several Days Ago for Murder of Country
 man at Fresno, Cal,

c. K. Hiyama, a Japanese who ar- rived here about week ago in com. pany with Jap woman, who passed as his wife, was released from jail last evening, after several days in- carccration. Iiiyama was arrested by Officers Lowthian and Medlar on suspi. eion of being a Jap named Ogato, who is wanted at Fresno, Cal, for the mur. der of a countryman. He seemed to tally perfectly with tine description sent out by the chief of police of Fresno and the authorities in that city thought from the telcgrams sent from here, that he was the right man. Hiyama's photo. graph was taken and forwarded to Fres- no. which resulted in telegram to the Globe authorities stating that he was not the man.
 When arrested, Hiyama stated that hc came here from Fl Paso and that hs had never been in Fresno. Ogsto, the man wanted in that city, fatally stab bed a Jap named Okmaru, after the latter had stolen a woman whom Ogatc had brought from Japan 10 Seattle.

CHINESE LEADER
 HAS SUDDEN END
Murdered in New York Street
 by Members of Rival Tong; Two Arrested,

NEW YORK, March 27.-A street murder believed to be the outgrowth of the recent trials of Chinamen for mur- ders in Boston and Philadelphia, threw local Chinese into intense excitement this afternoon. The victim was Ing Now, who in the troublous times two years ago, was known as the lieutenant of Mock Duck, leader of one of the rival tongs, and who since the retire ment of Duck has been looked upon by many Chinamen as the real leader of the faction. Ever since the success ful prosecution of the Chinese murder trials in Boston and Philadelphia, there have been rumors around Chinatown that some member of the New York colony inspired the evidence which re- suited in the convictions. When the shooting occurred today it became noised about that Now was one of the men under suspicion in this connection.
 Mow was walking down Mott street when three Chinamen coming in the oth- CT direction blocked his way. There was short argument, the flash and report of shot and Now collapsed and fell dead on the sidewalk. His three as sailants fled. A line of police was i'm midiately stretched around the entire district and house to house search for the murderers made. As a result of the search, Moy Don Yuk and Wan Ton, both of whom live in Mott street, were arrested.

COMPARES TEDDY
 WITH GEORGE III
President Said to Have Raised a RumpuS With a Michi-
 gan Congressman.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Tho question of whether or not President Roosevelt is an intolerant man after the fashion of King George III, arose in the house of representatives today. The discussion was founded on local newspaper story covering what purport. ed to be details of an interview yester. day between the president and Rep resentative Deikeman of Michigan, in which the president is reported as humping the desk and berating Deike- man for having joined in the report of tho subcommittee on judiciary, censur. ing Judge Wilaey of the United States court in China.
 Upon the statement of Representative Williams of Mississippi, the minority leader, that he proposed to offer a reso- lution to ascertain is the president had encroached upon the privileges of a committee of congress, Deikeman ad- solved the president from the sugges- ton of intolerance made by Williams. He said that the president in the con versation, displayed the greatest fiber. ality in receiving his explanation of cir. cumstances leading up to the filing of the report. He denied that the presi. dent had thumped the desk, but admit. ted that he gesticulated good deal.
 Following the incident, the house en. gagged in desultory debate on the agri. cultural appropriation bill which, how. ever, had not been materially amend ed when it was laid aside.

penalizing card playing in saloons un- less license of $60 quarter is paid. The ordinance has been the subject of much consideration by the council for several weeks and it was originally intended to make the license 800 per quarter, but some of the members thought it would work hardship on some of the saloonkeepers and it was cut down to $60. The ordinance ap- plies to all saloons where cards are played, for money, drinks or fun.
 The council is also considering an early closing ordinance for saloons and it is believed that an ordinance will soon be passed compelling all saloons to close at midnight. Mayor Sultan and one or two of the aldermen favor a Sunday closing law also, but it is doubtful if there is a sufficient mum Der of aldermen in the council to pass such measure. They realize that il will require an increased police force in order to enforce the law and even then it will probably not be strictly oDeyed.
 The council is up against another proposition in the enforcement of the ordinance prohibiting liquor selling in the tenderloin district which becomes effective next Wednesday. It is general ly recognized that the ordinance will not prohibit the selling of liquor in the redlight district, although it stops licensing its sale in that district. Fur. thermore it cuts off about $2,500 in tho annual revenue of tho city

JOHNSON WOULD
 TAKE OFFICE F
 NATION W|LLEO
Makes First Declaration That Presidency Would Be Ac-
 Ceptable to Him,

ST. PAUL, Minn.. March 27.--A let. ter written to Governor Johnson by Swan J. Turbull, publisher of the Swedish American Post at Minneapolis asking him to state his position in re- gard to the nomination for the presi- dency, brought reply from Johnson, who said in part:
 ''I do not believe that any American should be an active, open candidate for nomination for the presidency. Any American would appreciate the high honor which would come to him in being selected as the standard bearer of his party. I hitherto have avoided any pub. lie or private expression regarding my position. Matters have progressed so far, however, that it seems to me that I should at least say, in answer to your interrogation, that if the Democratic party of the nation believed me to be moro available than any other man and felt that by my nomination, I could contribute any service to the party, and to the nation, should be happy to be the recipient of the honor which it would thus confer.
 '"I have done nothing and will do nothing in the way of organization to bring about this end, and shall not be a candidate in tho sense of seeking the nomination. In this connection, | de- sire it understood that in no sense am l to be candidate for the purpose of defeating Bryan or any other man.
 "In order that there may be no doubt I would say in answer to your question, that if the nomination came to me, I certainly should not refuse it.
