Assassination of Gonzales.

Mr.. Gonzales one of the ablest most
progressive and highly respected young
men of the state. was assassinated in
January 1903, by James II. Tillman. lieu
tenant governor of South Carolina, in
front of the statehouse, when he was
entirely unsuspicious of the murderous in
tentiOn Of his enemy. The cause was
his criticism of the Tillman family and
Tilmanism. The assassin is nephew of
Senator Tillman and son OF George
Tillman, formerly a representative in Con-
gress. If he had been tried in Column
victed and hanged. but his lawyers OBJ
community and packed jury refused to
convict him. He has since been living in
seclusion in Edgefield. the family home.
The quotation from one of Mr.. Con-
tales editorials. inscribed upon his monu-
ment. was a prophecy which has been
fulfilled. The effect of his assasina ton
has been beneficial to the people of South
Carolina in several respects.
1t was the last political assassination
No one has been murdered for his poll
teal opinions since.
1t has served to soften factional feeling
Every thoughtful citizen Of the state was
Mortified that craftsmanship should have
demanded such a sacrifice.
1t has strengthened the influence of the
press. has elevated its standing and in
creased it's dignity.
The effect of the popular subscription to
raise funds for the monument was to
cryst allize public sentiment against per-
sonal vengeance and violence between
men.

 PAYNE HAVE DISCUSSION.
Texan is Accused of Trying to Read Out of Democratic Party Such a
 Paper as New York World.

Washington, Jan. 10-@The House tov day resumed it's old activity and for over five hours transacted business of public nature.
 Material progress was made with the bill to codify, revise and amend the criminal laws of the United States which was taken up after some rou- tine bills had been disposed of. An attempt by Mir. Littlefield of Maine to amend the bill so as to afford pro- tection to aliens in the matter Of civil righs failed by a decisive vote after considerable discussion.
 The feature of the session was oreff address by Mir. BurIeson of Texas, who credited Senator Foraker and other Republicans with having charged the President with responsibility for the recent financial panic. Mr. Burleson became engaged in a lively colloquy with MT. Payne of New York because of the allegation by the latter that Mir. Burleson was attempting to read out of the Democratic party such pa pers as The New York World, which had criticised the financial bills and which had maintained that there ewere other Democrats than the peerless leader who acceptably could nll the Presidential chair. MT. Burleson, how ever, insisted that The World was an independent paper and that he was not trying to read out of the party any Democratic Journa Tor person.
 The House adjourned at 5:12 p. m. until tomorrow after efforts had been made by the Democrats 70 continue consideration of the code bill.
