From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Mar. 13th,
Mr. Harrison was fortunate in
out this week. Ho
escaped the first exuberance of the
Blame Howlers, who have gone com-
wild, because the alleged re
treaty has been formally
accepted by the Brazilian govern-
instead of being rejected as
bad been rumored, and because the
British government has agreed to
submit the Sea dispute to
arbitration, reserving the right to
insist upon the payment of damages
by this government for what it c ills
the illegal seizure of vessels sailing
under the British flag. Before
crowning Mr. Blame king of the
world diplomacy the
should procure a copy of the dis-
Lord Salisbury, sent to the
Minister here last Summer,
which was a part of the
submitted to Congress at the
hist, session. They will find that
the proposition then made by Great
to arbitrate was, with little things, such as may each in
exception that it included the Ca-
fisheries dispute,
ally the same as that now accepted
by Salisbury. If there has
been diplomatic victory won in
these negotiations Mr. Blame was
not Its winner.
Notwithstanding the
that Mr. Harrison had concluded
not to make the of
the nine United States Judges until
Congress met again the

Secretary Foster is in Ohio, but

Huston is expected to return
to Washington to-morrow, but he
will, they say at the department,
again resume duties, although
his resignation has not been

will try get rid of Huston by
tendering him an important foreign
mission. Private Secretary
says there is nothing in it, but it

Republicans here take a special

Democratic Congress will have to

or increasing taxation, and
actually have the to ex-

Mr. Dana of the New
k Sun says Mr. Blaine will
be the Republican nominee if
he wants it, and it is not probable
he will refuse it. It will not
prise us much if both are mistaken.
So far as Mr. Harrison is con-
we just as soon see him
nominated as any other
can, for he could doubtless be
easily beaten. As for Mr. Cleve-
land it would hardly be, wise to
put him up under the present state
of public feelings in regard to free
coinage.
The election of Gen. John M.
Palmer to the United States Sen-

worth all the patient waiting
through the apparently endless
deadlock. Patience, persistence
and popularity are valuable aids

It is against the principles of
our government for one man to
more than one office at the
same time, yet Go v. Hill, of New
York, is trying to straddle both
the and Governorship.
He has been elected the Sena-
and his term commenced
March 4th, and ho is entitled to
his pay from that time. But he
refused to resign the office of
Governor until next December
when Congress meets. Gov. Hill
is looming up as a Presidential
candidate, but he should not show
himself so greedy of office. It
will tend to weaken rather than
strengthen him. It does not show
well in a man to hold two offices
and want a third one.
Lynch law is always
even though the course
of justice be sometimes turned
aside by or through corrupt
but there are mitigating cir-
in the case of the
of New Orleans who recently
lynched twelve members of the
Mafia, an outlawed society organ-
for plunder and murder.
These men had been acquitted by
the intimidation and bribery of
the jury, in the face of evidence
of the most positive and
kind of the guilt of a number
of them of having been in a con-
which resulted in the cold-
blooded murder of the chief of
police of that city. The mob
which lynched these prisoners
was composed of the leading
of New Orleans, many of
whom carried in their pockets the

Mafia, and who deemed it a
of life or death, whether they
or the Mafia should be

of these threatened citizens

prevent their own assassination it
is well to read the opinions of
those great commercial bodies, the
Board of Trade, the Sugar Ex-
change and the Stock Exchange,
of New Orleans, as expressed in
the following preamble and
unanimously adopted by
them all on the afternoon of the
day the lynching took place
The deplorable
lien of criminal justice in this city, and
the frightful extent to which the
of juries been carried, has rendered

leans to vindicate outraged justice. e it
That while we deplore at all
times the resort to violence, we consider
the action taken by the citizens this
to be proper and justifiable.
The Italian government has pro-
tested and Mr. Harrison has for-
warded a communication to the
Governor of Louisiana calling his
attention to the treaty obligations
which compel us to protect
of countries Mr.
Blaine has an opportunity. Let
him show the world the why and
wherefore of this unfortunate
and the citizens of
New Orleans the hearing they are
entitled to.
The Republican editors through
the country seem to dwell with
much bitterness on the fact that
Senator Palmer was once a Re-
publican and turned a Democrat.
It stings them very much for one
Of their number to turn against
them. Gen. Palmer saw the error
of his way, and like every true
man, turned from it. It is worth
noting also that he was a
only a short while. We
guess he is not tainted with Re-
enough to show them
and that is just what
they do not like. It is a
fact that many honest Republicans
torn Democrats, while it is only
the rotten and corrupt Democrats
who Republicans in order to
be in their own element. Gen.
Palmer is a good Democrat and
that is what hurts his enemies.
We have read of several cases
of lynching, but never have seen
one so little condemned as the re-
cent affair at New Orleans. It
can hardly be called lynching in
its true sense. It was done by the
best and hitherto most law abiding
citizens of the city. Last October
Chief Police Hennessey, the
discharge of his duty, was
by the Mafia, an
of outcast Italians, who had
fled justice in their own land.
Hennessey was trying to find out
something about them, and about
some murders they had committed
when they set upon him and foully
murdered him. The people of
New Orleans long been noted
as a law abiding people, and
though they knew that they had
been outraged by this secret or-
of foreigners, yet they
preferred to let the law take its
course. In due time the murder- j
era were brought to trial, and I
though the evidence was clear and
convincing enough to convict any
one, they were cleared by the
of judge and jury. It was
then that the indignation of hon-
est people burst forth, and they
coolly and deliberately
to take the law in their own hands.
Accordingly they visited the
on and without disguise put eleven
of the murderers out of the way.
If this had not been done, if the
Mafia had not thus been punished,
it would have been giving them
license to do anything they please,
and not only the Mafia, but any
other secret organization. We do
not in any sense approve of lynch-
and it is to be deplored that
the necessity of such a thing ever
exists. While the people did this
we do not think they are
for it. The responsibility
must rest upon the judge and jury
who, in violation of their sworn
duty, failed to do their duty. This
was one case of necessary and
justifiable lynching; and it is to be
hoped that the effect of it will tend
to prevent the repetition of such
crimes by the Mafia, or any other
organization. The
hopes it will never be necessary
for another such to happen
in country.

Preparation for Sunday School
Teaching was discussed by It. B.
John. Preparation absolutely
and should be careful. Sunday-
School teaching is a high privilege as
well as a great responsibility. Prep-

In special preparation aim to under-

Analyze the subject in hand, locate

his mental superiority over woman

Book Books, and the beauty of its
study. There is great difference be-
tween a reader of the Bible and a
student of the Bible. The Sunday
School system of study affords the
best means of learning the Bible.

School a few years ago and closely

Rev. G. A. next addressed
the meeting on How to Teach a
Class. To do a thing a man must
be in accord with that which he is to
do. In teaching there must be some-
thing in common between teacher
and pupil that will draw them to-
and win their attention, or
nothing will be accomplished. The
teacher must come down to a level
with the scholar and get hold of him.
He has been mingling with the world
all the week and must be drawn to
the truth. Secure their attention
apt illustrations a good method of
doing this. Voluntary and inquiring
attention is wonted. Tho teacher to
command this attention is tie one
who has first made preparation and
must be full of enthusiasm. Certain
characteristic in children are to be
utilized.
Mr. P. Elliott, of Baltimore,
was asked to say a few words, which
he did, upon the close relation ex-
between the church and the
Sunday School. Live, active, work-
Sunday Schools are always ac
by live, active, working
churches, and vice versa.
Mr. Nicholson, of Baltimore, was
also present and by request made a
few remarks. he was not much
of a speaker, but was always glad to
say a word in behalf of Sunday
Schools. He referred to that part of
Gov. address concerning the
study of tho Bible and enlarged
somewhat upon it.

The Farmer's Alliance is having a
large platform scale erected on the
public square near the Market House.
This will supply a long felt want and
also be a great convenience. This
step of enterprise among the Alliance
is to be commended. The Reflector
hopes the good example thus set by
them will be imitated and that other
enterprises will soon follow. Green

The usual quiet of Greenville was

about half past o'clock in which

examining it, when gun suddenly

caused instant death. Seeing him
fall to the ground Eddie Flanagan
ran towards him and upon the first
sight of blood he called to Charlie

George Nelson had shot himself. A
few steps nearer revealed to him that
George was dead, and threw him-

screams attracted the attention
of some ladies living in

gun, and fearing someone was

arrived upon the scene to be con-
fronted with a most distressing spec,
George lying dead upon the
ground, his blackened with
smoke from tho gun beside him
while blood was from a
ghastly wound in his throat. The
sight was appalling.

She was carried home before being

The blow was sudden and severe,

There is a touch of humanity that

The thing most evident to him was
that he had ensnared himself with a net-

endurable, would require more skill of
management than he had any right to

Royal could have gnashed his teeth and
shouted at them that he was no better
than an impostor. Instead of which he
nailed his false colors to the mast, as it
were, and smiled and bowed and shook

Hi brain worked with feverish rapid-

into Squire Brandon's carriage for the
short drive to the house, where the
young lady would change her dress for
the wedding journey, a sense of the
of his own position touch-

desire to laugh, and creating a reaction
which restored equilibrium. He had
made a mess of it, he was willing to ad-
but circumstances had seemed to
wall him into a narrow track, along
which he had cantered like the most
obliging of donkeys. At this stage of
the proceedings did little
good and was provocative of

for it but to face the situation in the
present and endeavor to adjust it with
the minimum of pain and discomfort all
around The only solution which
itself was to carry out the plan as
originally proposed, striving to blunder
less in the end than be had done in the
beginning. He would take the young
lady straight to John Royal, making
such explanation to her as would insure
her recognition of the love and anxiety
for her future which had been the main-
spring of a scheme which he bow de-
as idiotic.

But Royal would not hear of stopping
over for anything. His private feeling
toward the deceased lady was one of dis-
animosity. He hoped orthodoxly
and that she might be doing
spiritual penance for the trouble and dis-

her material life, and would gladly have
known that she was aware of the mis-
carriage of her plans and greatly tor-
thereby. He generalized for a
moment in regard to the old home and
the desire to see it which he was expected
to feel; but he made it evident that he
intended to leave by tho first down train.

lady appeared docile and amenable to an
exceptional degree. Royal, in the midst

Her voice trembled a little, and Royal
had an intuition that she was holding
back tears. He felt a sudden stricture
of the heart, as though the blood had
been drained away. This was not the
happy chatter of a girl bride, loving and
beloved. Through this woman's voice
pulsed an undercurrent of pathos, thrill-
its sweetness like minor chords in
music. He felt, somehow, that in spite
of his best endeavor he was taking
fair advantage of the man who had
trusted him, was getting a glimpse into
arcana which no stranger unauthorized
should penetrate. His pity grew apace,
and beside it developed a devouring
curiosity, until his very breast
strained by stress and complexity of
emotion. He yearned to to her,
but durst not for lack of proper words
and an assured position, and so dumbly
waited, feeling that if she should con-
to talk in that strain during the
rest of the drive he could not be held ac-
countable for his actions.
She did not appear to notice his silence
or to be hurt by it; perhaps she was in
some subtle way conscious of the tension
of his mood, or she may have been
occupied by her own thoughts. For a
little space there was silence.

stronger love. They say a love increases

Royal involuntarily turned his face
away and drew his breath hard. This
was the moment he had dreaded; for if
she should detect the imposture there
would be the end of his scheme for spar-
her still a little while. And how
would it be possible for her not to detect
it She must have had a series of photo-
graphs of the other John Royal during
those years, pictures that would have
chronicled each gradation of change.

eyes set apart as an object of tender care
and consideration for all men.
Yielding to the impulse that was in
