A Terrible Indictment.

"Tammanizing Our Civilizations is
the subject Of an excellent article in
the November number of Mcclure s
Magazine by S. 5. Mcclure. 1t deals
with politically protected crime in
this country and its spread from its
birthplace in New York City. In a
final comparison of conditions here
with those of other countries he says
"The fact that murders are ten
times as frequent i'm the United States
as i'm other civilized countries the
fact that i'm the last thirteen years the
deaths 10y murder i'm the United States
have equaled the entire losses by death
or wounds of the Northern armies in
the entire four years of the War Of
the Rebellion: that more than ten
times as many judges are required in
the United States as In England to
administer Justice and that the white
slave trade, pressing the sale Of women
to its ultimate point, has incidentally
and enormously spread the most terri
ble disease
This is a terrible indictment against
our civilization. Think of its murders
ten times as frequent here as in other
civilized countries and the headquar-
ters for the traffic and sale Of white
women for purposes of prostitution.
That such conditions exist Mr.. Nc
Clure says is due TO the fact that in
our larger cities the criminals are the
ward politicians who are protected by
the city officials who grow rich from
this terrible traffic in the souls Of
women.
Everyone should read this article by
Mr.. Mcclure and also one in the same
number by George Kibbie Turner en-
titled "The Daughters of the Poor. ="
1t gives one a new realization OF condi-
tions as they exist and should awaken
the manhood in everyone and cause
every citizen to realize that IL Is his
duty, a duty which he must not shirk,
to take an interest in selecting the

matter what his politics pledge him
self to the work of selecting men for
officers who will give the community
good government.
We proudly boast that our country
Is the greatest in the world, that we
have the highest type Of civilization
and lead all nations in all things that
are best.
When we allow conditions, such as
Mr. Mcclure and Mr.. Turner describe
TO exist, we should cease our boasting
until we root these evils out. They
are blots upon the fair name OF our
country and disgrace to us as a peo-
pie.
The people of the United States
stand for what Paris and Galicia will
not tolerate. VIII the people of this
country allow such an indictment to
stand? No man is good citizen who
will not give his support to the stamp
ing out Of the curse.

COLLINS IS
MAKING HIS
BOND TODAY
Will Hardly Assume the Duties
Of Postmaster Before the
First Of April.

Mr.. w. A. Collins, whose nomina-
tion for postmaster at Hattiesburg was
recently confirmed by the senate, is
today engaged in making his official
bond preparatory to entering upon his
duties.
Mr.. Collins is not decided as to when
he will take charge. If his bond is
made and approved, it is possible that
he may assume charge on March is,
but he is at present inclined to the
opinion that April 1 will be the better
time for the change, as this is not
only the beginning Of a new month,
but the beginning Of a new quarter.
No changes will be made in the
office force with the exception Of the
assistant postmaster. whose identity
Mr.. Collins has not yet made known.
The rest of the postoffice employees
are under civil service rules and can
only be discharged for cause.

BIDS DEATH DEFIANCE
IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR

New York, March 5.-At a private
exhibition yesterday in small room
at No. 1416 Broadway, Charles Quill,
man of twenty-five years, allowed
himself to be strapped into an electric
chair, similar to the one in Sing Sing
Prison, and a direct current of cleo
tricity drawn from a nearby feed wire
was turned into his body to the
amount of 1900 volts. This is 100
more volts than are used in execu-
tions at the prison. Quill seemed to
enjoy it. He endured this huge volt
age for fully a minute. During that
time his assistant touched various
parts of his body with an alcohol
soaked handkerchief, which immed-
lately burst into flames.
Quill asserts that electricity will not
kill unless it burns and he explains
his immunity by the fact that his
body contains an unusual amount of
carbon. Yesterday he played with
electricity as though it were the most
harmless thing in the world. With
| 1900 volts sizzling into one hand, he
would light a candle, or set aglow cr
incandescent light with the other. HC
applied a piece of carbon, held be
tween his teeth, to similar piece at
tached to another wire and supple,
a perfect arc light. He drew forth
current of such intensity with one fins
er, that he lighted cigarette from tn
neat.

Jackson. Miss, March 5.-Contrary
to expectations, the arraignment of
William Sorsby, the slayer of Postof-
flee Inspector Cbas. Fitzgerald, in the
Hinds county circuit court yesterday
did not expose the hand of either the
state or the defense to any extent.
Out of an array of ten prisoners,
three of whom were white men, Sors-
by's was the last name called. When
the Indictment was read to him he
enterted the plea of not guilty, where
upon District Attorney Mcneil made
a motion for a special venire of 200
men to be selected from the first dis
trict of the county.
Attorneys c. NJ. Williamson and W.
H. Watkins, for the defense, asked for
a copy of the montion and requested
the court to allow them until Satur-
day morning to make answer. The re-
quest was granted.
What will be the first move of the
defense is not known. Neither is it
known what attorney or attorneys will
assist the district attorney in the pros
ecution, but it is regarded as almost
certain that a local man or firm will
or has been emDloved.
The defense will not ask for
change OF venue, as had been supposed
by many. This was made clear la st
night by Mr.. Williamson, who declared
the defense had no such intention. Be-
yond this, however, he would not dis
cnss the plans of the defense.
That the defense will rely upon a
plea of insanity is certain, but wheth-
er the attorneys will play for a con-
tinuance or permit the case to go to
immediate trial without efforts at de-
lay is problematical.

himself was pale, nervous looking and
