TjiHiu: is beginning to lie room for the
suspicion that certain support of Hlgfried, in
the 2Uth Konatoiial contest, is doing him
moro harm than good.
Tin; silver, issuo has ceased to bo an im
tiortant bno in general politics: but it is
still worth considering as a factor of con
fusion uud disintegration in tho l'inocratic
party.
Snr.NANDOAH will likely havo at least two
icpicscntativcs on the county ticket this fall.
The town is justly entitled to tho recogni

majority.
A r.UX has been introduced in Congress to
inako tho 1'ouith of July a national holiday
Moat people will bo surprised to learn that
this important anniversary lias novcr yet

KutsO.V can throw a c.ithodo ray through

tho inner workings of tho two-headed
octopus that wants to dish out liepublican
appointments in this county.

America needs a stronger government than
any of tho states there becin to possess.
Mexico should annex them
(JlWXINO for 'Siinircs may allord amuse
ment in the spring, but gunning for national
delegates, through Washington, is a very
different matter. And the former does not
make tho latter task any easier.
Ml:. Oi-.vdstoni: may have sonic special
reason for proposing to return to Parliament,
but it can not bo to obtain a hearing. Tho
old statesman has only to tako the Uoor any
where and tho world comes to order.
Till! Ohio Legislature has passed a bill to
increase the Dnw law tax on tho liipior traflle

about 11.000 saloons in the state, so that if
they all continue to do business, tills add!
tional tax will swell tho rovenuo from that

Tin: prosentDcinocratictariir lias increased
the public debt $2(12,000,000. Is it any wonder
tho pcoplo aro putting the seal of their con
demnation upon that party every tinio an
oppoitunity is givuu them. A tarill' that
does not produco revenue enough to support
the government needs revision. Tho Itcpub
lioau party has preentod a iceasuro which
would givo the desired relief, but tho Dcmo
uwtlo party, aided by the Populists, havo
rejected it, and the pcoplo will reject them
next fall.

nounced it a disgmco to civilisation and said
that it was within tho knowledge of every
man who heard him that there is nn enonious
doficlouey in the revenues of tho government
As Presldont Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
both claim the present tariff produces enough
revenue, at the same timo tliat they are sell
in IkuiiIb to luaku up tho deficiency. Senator
Sherman's language is equivalent to an ac-
cuwtion of falsehood against these gentle
men. But tho faeU are with tho Senator.
Tin: trouble in the Salvation Army, ooca-
sionijd by tho orhitrary removal of Com
mandor Balllugton Booth hy tho General,
has aroused a groat deal of interest and
caused considerable ndverso comment. There
appoars to be somo jealousy of the success of

Oio Army in this country lias been remark
able and the hold lie has obtained upon his
followers and leading people of Now ork is
very great. This, it nppoars, has aroused
the envy of his relatives, who cannot permit
tho Army to become too much Amorionnlted,
lionce his removal. It looks at present as if
tho American brunch might break away from
its lhiglMi parent cro long.
Tuk Houso of Itoprofcntativcs cannot give,
tho nation too much economy in appropria

Washington, Fob. 37. A caso which
presents a somowhut complicated stato of

dupiirtmont for determination. Sovcral
years ago a Chinainnn named Chung Ling
Fat camo to this country and opened a
laundry in tho city of Boston. Ho was

lated about .$15,000. .Too Tyo, nnothor
Chlnunian.lt Is nlleged, stole 11,500 of his
countryman's money and sailed to China.
Fat followed him, but before ho could bo
apprehended Tyo returned to tho United
States mid was arrested and jailed. Tho
question brought to tho attention of tho
treasury dopnrtmout is whether, bolng n
laborer, Fat, under tho oxclusion laws,
can return to this country and give testi
mony against Tyo. Judge Iteovo states
that under tho law Fat is debarred from
landing, oven for so laudable a purpose as
giving ovldenco ngninst a criminal. Tyo
will probably bo released.

AVlCHlTA FALLS, Tox., Fob. 27. At 8:30
o'clock last night n mob of several thou
sand por.sons attacked tho jail hero where
1'oster Crawford and "Tho Kid were
confined. After a show of resistance on
tho part of the nutborltlos tho mob bat
tered in tho jail doors and forcibly took
possession of tho prisoners, who killed
Cashier Horsey lu Tuesday's bank rob
bery. Tho two men wore takon to tho bank
which thoy attonipted to rob and an Im
provised scaffold was erected. Tiio first
lmptilso of tho half crazed mob was to
burn tho prisoners, but calmer counsel
prevailed.
Yells of "Hang tho 'Kid' first" went up.
Thou others, "No, hang the oldest first."
The "Kid" refused to say a word, and
thoso having him In chnrgo yanked him
onto n hnf. In a moment tho ropo wns
about his neck, nnd a man who somo say
looked like one of tho men whoso horse had
been taken on Tuesday, fixed ouo end
ncross the cross bar. All this time tho
"Kid" wns joerine at tho audience, laugh
ing and cursing. Ho nover quivered. Ho
was asked to say what ho wanted, and was
told ho would lie given a hearing.
Ho said: "By G .that's nil right. If you
ore Impatient swing mo up now. I ain't
afraid to die, not a d bit of It. Pull tho
ropo, by G ."
A voice in tiio nudienco: "You'ro going
to die now. Tell us your name."
The "Kid:" "I don't givo a d- if I do.
It is Younger Lewis, and my fntlior aud
mother reside in Neosha, Mo."
"Any mossagoi"' from a voice in the
crowd.
"Well, toll my father I was not scared a
bit; that I died like a nervy man."
"Anything for your mother?"
"No, not a word. She will sco tho mos
sago to the old man. Say, you' follows go
and look In that :lugout aud you will find
510,000 there."
"Tho Kid," or Younger Lewis, as ho at
the last moment said ho was, continued
chatting and laughing with the crowd,
poking fun at them and cursing for a mo
ment, and then somo ono yelled: "Time
is up."
"Tho Kid" said: "I am 20 years old, and
robbed that d bank. I nm dead gamo
imd ready to dlo. Go ahead."
In an instant ho was pulled up nbovo
tho throng. Ho novcr quivered or kicked.
Ho just went up In tho air. Men on tho
frontier for years and years said no gamer
man over died. Ho was tho coolest man in
all tho great throng.
All tho while Crawford was a spectator
of tho scene. He began to weakon and con
fessed, giving some valuable Information.
Ho placed tho responsibility for tho crimo
on the "Kid."
Tho mob pulled him off tho Improvised
platform next to tho bank ho attempted
to rob, and Ills bead was about on a level
with the dangling feet of ills companion.
Ho asked for Captain Burnott. Tho Iottor
wns a spectator in tho crowd. He went to
Crawford and had a long talk.
Crawford had worked on Burnett's ranch
for years, and long was a trusted man. Ho
began stoallng Ills employer s stock, how
over, and associating with territory out
laws, and tho two parted company. Craw
ford confessed to the robbery of Tuosdny,
but denied tho murder. Ho was a small
man, poorly clad, with a red faco and
short clipped black mustache
When thoy began to look for a second
ropo ho bogged for whisky. It was given
him. Ho talked and then bogged for more.
Ho ngain addressed tho crowd In Com
anche, English and Spanish. Thoso who
understood say bis uttcraucos were Inco
herent, Tho ropo Boon arrived, and as it
was put about his nock ho foil olthor in a
faint or from tho elfocts of the liquor ho
had drank. Ho was soon strung up along
with his companion.

It is interesting to noto that tho dinner
hour has gradually moved from tho fore
noon until oveniug. Tho word dinner is
believed to bo n corruption of b!x hours,
or 2 o'clock, tho hour nt which tho Nor
man conquerors nto their principal meal.
A young man from the Mnlno woods vis
ited Now York on n schooner nnd wrote
homo thus: "Hardly anybody hero eats
dinner at noon. Most of tho folkR. ont
theirs at 6 o'clock. Tho rich don't eat
theirs until 7 or half past, nnd tho real
upper crust don't dlno until somo time
noxt day," Ho had evidently boon
brought up to think 12 o'clock tho propor
hour.
Saturday night was tho beginning of
tho Sabbath. Tho qulot hush that por-

and early planted a reverent luyo for the

wost, from tho north nnd from tho south,
for Snbbnth morning all paths led to
church, as nil roads lod to Homo. In sum
nior time tho boys nnd girls carried their
shoos and stockings in their hands, to
save them from tho wear and tear of tho
hushes and tho long, sandy paths. Among
tho dutlos of tho soxtbu was to turn tho
hourglass. Tho sermon was oxpeeted to

In 1035 cadi mooting house linil tiio np

in some placo thoy votod, "That all por
sons who should stand out of tho mooting

It was nlso ordered that profane swoar-

As long ago as 1715 it Is said there wero
bad boys, and tithing mon wero appointed
to soo that thoy did "not play in meeting
nnd to keep tho dogs out of tho mooting
