How the People Look at It,
Assault is a crime whether justifi
able or not. It is equally criminal
whether perpetrated by weapons, fists
or words. The assailants cannot es
cape private, or public condemnation
wiiether the assaults are upon the
individual, or the individual character.
The assaults upon our county officials
by certain newspapers have a demor
alizing effect upon our people that is
wide spread and far reaching.
Whether the causes of these assaults
are well founded, and the feeling the
justice of their infliction in acquiesce-
ing in quiet submission as the better
part of valor ; or that there is no cause
for assault, and the assailed, from a
standpoint of dignified honor cannot
stoop to redress grievances are ques
tions about which the people are very
much in doubt, lo many it appears
as criminal to quietly submit to these
assaults as it does to perpetrate them.
Either these officials must clear up the
matter, or stand convicted before the
people of the prefered charges as they
appear in print from week to week.
Apologies and denials by friends and
friendly newspapers will no longer
answer to satisfy the people. We
have always refrained from expressing
an opinion on issues of this nature,
but the general sentiment of the peo
ple give expression of no uncertain
sound. From present surface indica
tions, prejudice and distrust are rapid
ly forming against certain county offi
cials from which they cannot escape
when called to the public tribunal,
when judgment is to be passed upon
their public acts, through the ballot
box. Formerly, time and events were
the great arbiters that vindicated as
sailed character, and officials could
afford to wait. But great changes
have been wrought by the age of pro
gression and conditions are very
materially changed now. We can see
no alternative for the success of these
officials, but a complete vindication of
their position. For ourself, we allow
no newspaper to prejudice our mind
against any official, neither will we be
unduly influenced by any newspaper
for or against public officials without
a complete substantiation of the facts
that may be brought to bear upon
charges that newspaper may prefer
against public officials. But the peo
ple are not all independent thinkers.
Great and important issues sometimes
require prompt and decisive action
and throtich their un.ivoidability are
often unfortunate circumstances in the
Jin:- of official duty that precipitate
public ofhcials in unenviable positions.
But responsibility must be met by
some one.

Kill Them By The Knife.
Cl.AIMF.n THAT' ELECTROCUTION DOES
NOT CRUSH THE VITAL Sl'ARK.
Dr. T. J. Gibson, of Syracuse,
discussing the resuscitation of victims
of electrocution, said recently :
" They don't kill the subjects by
electricity, they will kill them by the
knife or otherwise, I was in Auburn
Prison when they killed the negro
Tohnson. This is a chapter which has
been kept secret long enough. After
the current had been applied to
Johnson I was allowed to apply the
simple means of artificial respiration
and did so. It was not very long
before Johnson gave a gasp and show
ed unmistakable evidence of returning
consciousness.
The Warden intervened and pre
vented the further prosecution of the
attempt and a little later they perform
ed the autopsy. About two months
before Johnson was killed they experi
mented on another negro named
Taylor. It was announced that the
armature of the dynamo burned out,
and that it was necessary to obtain
current from the city lighting plant to
complete the operation. Such was
not the case. The armature burned
out, to be sure, but when they applied
the current the second time, 53 minu
tes later, they applied it to a dead
man.
Taylor came to himself sufficiently
to move and talk and walk. Deadly
drugs were administered to him, and
he was killed by those drugs, and, as
I say, when the borrowed current was
applied it was applied to a corpse,
made such by the administering of
deadly drugs.

butchers, bakers, grocers, or any kind

HE WILL I'ROIiAULY NOT SEND MANY
MORE EXCUSES TO HIS WIFE.
There is one married man living
who was badly frightened the other
night. He sent a note to his wife
about 9 o clock to say that he would
not be at home until late. The
messenger boy when he delivered the
note to the wife happened to mention
that he had gone to the wrong house,
and had been very wrathfully treated
by a man for disturbing him. The
wife read the note, which was on a
scrap of paper. She thought a minute.
Then she said to the messenger boy :
" I'll give you a shilling if you will
take the note back to my husband
and tell him that story without saying
that you came here at all."
The boy pocketed the money and
went back to the husband with the
note.
" Well, why do you bring this back ?"
he asked.
" Because they wouldn't take it. A
man came to the door, and told me
if I didn't go away he would break my
neck for me."
The husband did not stay out late
that evening. On the contrary, he
got home as fast as the underground
train could take him. He looked
suspiciously at his wife, and said :
" I sent a note, but the boy must
have taken it to the wrong house."
" I suppose so," said the wife inno
cently, " I haven't got it."
The man was dying to find out if
anybody had called, but he was afraid
to ask. J'earaon's Weekly.
TflE BALLOON SLEEVE MUST GO.
Much interest attaches to the ru
mor which conies from London that
the Princess of Wales and her
daughters have been lately seen in
public in gowns with small sleeves and
narrow skiits. The bit of intelligence
does not necessarily clinch the doom
of the balloon sleeves and the letter
A skirts, but it will tend to make pru
dent investors wary of locking up
much capital in those varieties. Of
course the balloon sleeves must, gu
presently. When fr.:;hiomb!e mothers
began to put them on little boys'
legged night-gowns it became apparent
that the taste fur tlv.-m ha conic to
be an extravagance, and could not
last. But it will be a shock to miss
them. Doubtless we will find our
friends much changed when we get
down to their real selves again.
Some who have grown stput won't
shrink as much as we expect, and
others who wore away in the hard
times perhaps will shrink much more.
But let us have the facts at any cost,
especially as there must be material
enough in the present sleeves and
skirts to cut over into anything con
ceivable, and have enough left over to
clothe a child. Fion Harper's

the merits and real value of our instruments, directly ; and for
a short season at least, give them the benefit of our reduced

been thinking of purchasing an organ or piano, are most cor
