Two Wife Under
the Provision of a New law.
Saturday was a black letter day for
wife beaters in this two of-
fenders having received ten lashes each
for violating the net of 1883, which pro-
that man convicted of
tally assault inland beating his wife shall
receive not more than forty lashes or be
imprisoned for not more than one year,
or be both whipped and imprisoned, in
the discretion of the The man
who was the first to be convicted and
this act Robert I.
Thompson, of district. He
was convicted Friday and sentenced to
receive ten lashes.
Early in the morning the sheriff, ac-
companied by a dozen or more witnesses,
entered Thompson's cell to carry out
the sentence of the court. The
oner guessed at once the meaning of the
visit and raid he was ready. The sheriff,
who is a very young man and kind heart-
ed, told prisoner that his duty a
very unpleasant one. After the prisoner
was stripped to the waist his hands were
bound by a leather strap, to which a
stout cord was fastened. The latter was
passed over the half open door of the cell
and held by a deputy on the other side,
drawing the prisoner's hands above
his head. While these preparations were
being made Thompson showed no signs
of fear. When all was prepared the
asked Thompson if he was ready.
don't hit me hard,
was Thompson's reply.
The instrument of was a
common reed buggy whip, from the large
end of which a portion had been
leaving it about four feet in length. The
whip descended with terrific force
the bared hack of the victim, laying open
the flesh a distance of six inches and
drawing the blood. In twenty seconds
the whipping was ended, and the first
victim of the whipping post in this conn-
had paid the penalty of his offense.
Thompson took his punishment with a
stoicism that excited the wonder of the
spectators. He is short in stature, stout-
about twenty-five years old, and
a boat builder by trade. He is accused
of striking his wife a severe blow on the
head with his list, and afterward beat-
her on the head and face with his
hat because she declined to prepare his
supper on account of sickness. When
she still refused to get he an
ax which was in the room, and ad-
toward threatened to kill
her if she didn't obey. Terrified by this
threat, she arose and warmed his supper,
which ho then refused to eat, saying he
didn't want any
George H. Barnes, colored, the second
man in this to suffer tho penalty
for wife beating, was convicted
day morning, and also sentenced to re-
ten lashes. same preparations
were made as in case of Thompson,
who was whipped in the morning. Barnes
did not take his punishment as well as
did Thompson. He writhed and crouched
while tho whip was being applied,
when released he writhed and groaned
in an agony of pain. In a few minutes,
however, ho said he felt all right, and
laughed and talked as if he had
but an everyday occurrence.
When asked if the lashes he said,
Both Thompson and Barnes declared
emphatically that they would never be

of Women In i; Store,
A superintendent in a large dry goods
establishment, speaking of the wages of
saleswomen, remarked as
know women in this and other stores
who receive more money than men in
the same lines of work. This is
true of the dressmaking depart-
in which nowadays men and
women are employed. We have a fitter,
a woman, who is under a contract at a
salary of per week. Women are
entering fields hitherto monopolized by
men. In big dry goods stores we now
have women heads of departments,
something a few years ago.
In all cases these receive large wages.

goods stores. A large number are

A CARD FROM COL. SKINNER.
The time has come when I can-

my friends associates and
in the cause of Democracy, to
be by the

I stood the fire as long as
I can without making a plain
statement to my advocacy
of measures for financial relief, so

to financial relief. In March the
same year I wrote an article

Bank which appeared in
the Greenville and

They denounced the
of silver, the resumption of
specie payment and the credit
strengthening act, they have held
up the of a gold standard-
promised the remonetization of
silver and general financial relief
through the Democratic party.
So have I.
In the present hour we only
differ as to the plan of relief. I
believe in the sub treasury plan,
they do not- As Democrats each
is entitled to his individual
ion- As i as freedom of speech
is guaranteed in the country we
all have our individual right to
express our own views and I trust
without having our Democracy
impugned or ourselves personally
or politically proscribed. Mr.
Bland can favor free silver and be
a Democrat. Mr. Halter can op-
pose free silver without having
his Democracy questioned. Mr.
Randall was a protectionist and
yet a recognized leader of
racy in Congress. Mr-
can reverse himself on silver and
all the while fight against the
of internal revenue a
plank in our State platforms,
and yet to North Carolinians a
great loader in Democracy.
But Mr. Skinner, it would seem,
can not advocate a measure which
he believes would relieve
the people of their great
stagnation and arm the fields
with the power to command higher
for their products, without
laving his political heritage taken
from him, his past can-
celled and his future proscribed.
Hence I desire to say, as much as
I may be maligned, sharp as the
criticisms may made, nothing
can cause me to waver or falter in
my political faith, lo- I expect to
follow the flag when many who
now judge me wrongly shall have
deserted and joined with our com-
enemy.
My advocacy of tho sub-treasury
plan has always been within tho
pale of the party. I discuss it
only in a general way, trying to
impress two pivotal thoughts
that Democracy is tho rule or
strength o the people and that
a majority leave the to con
that Democracy means
all power with the people
that, what we call money
whether in the shape of govern-
credit or coin, is tho most
powerful controller of human
action and the great distributer of
the results of Tabor; that as gov
credit has to be invoked
in the form of treasury notes,
certificates or. guaranteed bank
notes, to do tho business of the
country, that it if more Democratic
to put this power in tho hands of
or near the people at first cost
than to delegate it to corporations
with the power to the people,
and that the government can ex-
tend its credit under proper super
vision upon land and staple crops
as well as upon bonds, gold or
silver, for the reason that those
must redeem tho bonds and furnish
tho power with which to purchase
gold and silver.
Now while these are my
views, I have no desire to force
them upon Democrats who not
see through the glasses as I
lo, and certainly would n it want
them incorporated in our State
platform, recognizing as I do that
there is that difference of opinion
among Democrats that

councils and jeopardize our
at the realizing farther
as I do that white people must
hold together within the organ
of Democracy to preserve
homo to prevent the common

of my individual views

to prevent the disruption of the
Democratic party. And if I way
be permitted to make a suggestion
to Alliance
non-Alliance Democrats in the
interest of would be to
carry out what I intended at the
last meeting of the State Executive
Committee, to recommend to the
different count conventions with
as little variation as possible tho
state platform of 1890, relegate
all our differences of a national
character to the different
conventions, as this class
of relief must come through the
channel of Congress, and these are
the political bodies that should be
impressed with the importance of
relief on the line indicated. In
making this suggestion I am not
retreating from the Democratic
principles involved in the sub-
treasury Plan. I shall attend the
Democratic convention of the First
District and do as did at our
last District convention, use my
power to have incorporated this
plan in the platform, and work for
the nomination of a man that will
stand flat-footed upon such a plat-
form. If I fail it will not diminish
my Democratic ardor, but will
follow the majority. As a
reformer I can not see how
anything unusual in
our State platform will advance
our cause. I can see how it may
divide our people and endanger
our local institutions. I give the
Alliance credit for too much
and patriotism, even if in the
absolute control of the State con-
to act either in naming
the ticket or the platform so as to
bring defeat the work there
committed to their charge. My
opinion is they will act wisely

will deserve the applause of pa-

common platform that all can

The reports of the

him as a preacher. He have much

The preacher started off one Saturday

Prom the side of religion many pro-
tests have been made against the present
system of popular education. The clergy
of the different churches cannot help
thinking that at least the more
doctrines of the Christian faith
should be officially and they
draw most discouraging pictures of
what the moral future of the youth of
this country will be if their counsels
are not heeded. All sound and success-
moral teaching, they contend, must
repose upon a basis of theology, and to
confine ethical teaching to the region of
the natural Is to deprive it of all war-
rant, of all authority, of all coercive
power.
If these views were correct, it would
be difficult to see bow the weakness of our
schools on the moral side could ever be
remedied, for nothing is more certain
than that any attempt to teach theology
In thorn would be predestined tailor.
The people some will pay for
theology in the pulpit, they are not
willing to pay for it in the schools, and
have shown in most unmistakable ways
that they do not want it there. The
question, then, Shall all attempts at
moral teaching in the public school be
abandoned, seeing that it cannot be ad-
ministered as an adjunct of theology.

H.
New York, Before reg-
sermon in Association hall this
morning, Mr. Dixon reviewed the sob-
of the of police
forces of our great cities. He
The recant terrific indictment of
whole police force of the city of Now
York by the grand is an event

It is to be hoped that it will
mark the beginning of a new era in
civic life of America.
Mr. Henry M. Tabor, foreman of this
remarkable grand said in an inter-
view after its sessions that from

keepers of gambling dens, saloons, con-
cert and of ill and

police department. I say at least

He declares that this accusation in-
the. integrity of the entire police
force, from the superintendent down to
patrolman.
This is a grave charge. It cannot be
down by the men accused. It
cannot be answered by the assertion
that the March grand was an
of lunatics. In fact, while ex-
points may be inevitable, t i i
are not satisfactory just now to the in
quiring public.
There is in this official document much
of startling suggestion to every great
city in America.
Is the police power of the state in
centers of life thus honeycombed with
rottenness If so, the future life of your
civilization is threatened. And no man
who loves his neighbor and his country
can afford to be indifferent to such a
situation.
HIE TEMPTED
How to keep a police force is
a serious problem.
And Christian public is somewhat
to blame for this fact. The temptations
in the way of a policeman to do
are well nigh resistless to the ordinary
In the first place they are cut oil
from the association sympathy of
the good. They get few sympathetic
hand grasps from their neighbors. They
cannot go to church often. As a dam
of men they are utterly neglected by
those who seek to help and save their
fellowmen. There are no friendly inns
built for their comfort, though they live
a life of danger and exposure. We try
to save the wretch in the ditch, but
have no sympathy or help for the heart
of the who tramps his beat and
sees sin and crime and misery until hi.-
eyes and ears and very heart at last be-
come saturated with it. Familiarity
with vice makes it well nigh inevitable
that the officer himself will at last
to some form of it. The saloon is
is always and here the
finds his friends and finds fellowship.
The way downward is made ea.-y for
him The way of virtue and honesty
and Christian manhood is well nigh
possible.
In my sou of souls I sympathize with
these men. I thank God I am not called
to tramp a policeman's beat and touch
crime and vice and sin and temptation
at every corner. We need not be
prised if now and then a policeman is
guilty of brutality and of assault
innocence. Such things are inevitable
in the very nature of such a situation.
But when the whole force and the whole
system is honeycombed with a scheme
of wholesale blackmail and bribery the
time has come for action by the whole
community.
WITNESSES AFRAID.
The foreman of the grand jury further
declares that witnesses are afraid to tell
the truth. They fear for their lives if
they testify against the police and these
chronic criminals. He said that wit-
who could give satisfactory
against the keepers of disorderly
resorts were deterred from doing so by
fear of calling down the vengeance of
the parties vengeance in the
execution of which the police would
ford every opportunity and assure
lute protection. How utterly helpless
is the public when guarded by such a
force
It was discovered the ether day that an
ex-police retired on half

bell. Retiring from active police duty,
he seems naturally to have gravitated to
this den of gamblers whose business is
daily to violate and defy law. What is

seems to me that the Chris-

the feet of man here. Let us not believe
that it is a charm in itself. Its only
charm is the truth it teaches.

was saved in a battle because he had a

struck the Bible and it saved his life.

THE OF MUSIC.
It accords with the highest teachings,
tho breathings of the human
soul. I like tho company it keeps. Show
me a man who made the principles
of tho Book the counsel of his life and
will show you a king among men, find
where yon will, in whatever nation,
under whatever skies. It finds the soul
of man. It comes to the soul like the
revelation of music. Tired and worn
and oppressed with the world you sit
and hear the masterpiece of a great mu-
rendered by the touch of genius.
Into your soul steals divine melody,
and tho breath of the spirit of music
breathes on tho chords of the soul and
heart is made into an harp
and tho weary spirit is soothed by divine
melodies So this grand old Book
into the soul of man its breath divine I
and the soul responds with its sweetest ;
music.
It revolutionizes character under that j
touch. It revolutionizes nations
that divine touch. Take the Book
and put it in the bands of a savage tribe,
breathe it into their souls, and go back
in a hundred years, and from every hill-
top will gleam the spires of a church and
over every cradle there will be breathed
the prayer end hope of Christian mother-
hood.
President Oilman, of Johns Hopkins
university, recently said that as an
he longed to see the day when the
English Bible would be studied in every
school of the land as a text book, simply
because tho wonderful story it records
of the life of the has a power in
molding and fashioning the lives and
of men, such as is possessed
by no other literature extant.
INSPIRATION.
If it be an infallible guide to life,
the question of verbal or plenary
ration or essential inspiration becomes
of secondary importance. If there is a
guide at month of the great cave
want to know before I enter if he is in-
fallible as a guide. I want to know if
he has ever lost anybody in the cave. If
his record is unimpeachable and he
stands as an infallible guide to every
nook and corner of tho dark cavern
the earth which I desire to explore,
accept him as my guide. Suppose
should refuse to accept such a guide on
tho ground that he did not understand
tho veins in the rocks. Suppose I should
demand of him an explanation of the
different periods of geology which might
be unfolded in tho formation of that
cave. that I should say I re-
fuse to allow a man to pilot me through
the earth unless he can analyze the dirt.
Would this reasonable Would this
be scientific or philosophic Would it
not rather be simply idiocy Though
not a complete revelation of all mys-
human and divine, the Book is en-
sufficient to put all responsibility
on man.
THE EXCISE'S
It is a light on tho way of life and it
so that way that a wayfaring
man, though a Cool, need not err therein.
It is a locomotive headlight, whose
gleaming rays are centered down the
rails of life. The headlight cf an
sits in the focus of a
mirror. Tho mirror concentrates i.
rays and them at the to
and sends all the light immediately
down the track. It does not light the
landscape on the right or the left It
does not illumine the mountain peaks
through which the engine travels, but it
does light the engine's track with
accuracy. If the engineer smashes
his headlight because it does not light
the mountain peaks and wrecks his train,
he is responsible, not the headlight. We
must hold to this book and cherish it
until those who have attacked it can
give world a better guide to life.
AND THE BIBLE.
I defy mortal man today to find
a guide outside the teachings of this
Book. Yon may go to the libraries of
the world and search them through
department science, philosophy,
history, sociology, economics, fiction,
nowhere you find
one book, ten books, a hundred books, a
thousand books which, combined to-
will form an infallible
guide to This being true, the Book
stands. I have never heard any man
claim that man could produce a book
its equal. I never heard but one man
who made a stupid claim, and he
had to deny it. Some years ago Colonel
Ingersoll was reported to have said that
he could write a better book than
Bible. He hastened to deny that he said
it. He had to deny it And yet I heard
General George Sheridan, in reply to
that denial, publicly say believe
that Colonel Ingersoll said it for three
It sounds just like him. No
other man that I know of in the world
would be fool enough to say it. I
believe he said it, because I bought an
official, copy of bis lecture as I entered
a theater night to hear him speak,
which contained the assertion. I be-
he said it, heard him
say And yet in spite of such
the felt it absolutely
to deny this assertion.
In 1806 the French institute
gated eighty theories, any one of which
were sufficient to overturn and destroy
the Bible. In the few years that have
elapsed since then every one of these
eighty theories have been cast as rub-
into of the
world, and the old Book is a
mightier power today in the history of
the world than ever.
The is that its eternal
belong to the inmost secrets of
man's inmost soul. The world cannot
outlive it or outgrow it.

The most important question before

Dakota, Montana and Idaho today is the
fend between the rustlers and
For the information of those who do

who steals horses and cattle from the
large herds on the western ranges. The
rustler does not steal after fashion
followed by thieves of high and low de-
from time of Mars, who drove
away the oxen of Jupiter in the night
and was trailed by the foreman of
the ranch next morning and forced to
the back track.
Instead of driving the cattle from tho
range on which they may be feeding,
the rustler adopts a. brand similar to
that owned by his wealthier neighbor.
This brand is so fashioned that a few
lines added to the mark bis neigh-

adopted by the rustier. Once he has a
skillfully fashioned brand, the rustler

that those cattlemen whose herds in-
creased most phenomenally and
first the cows, even the
most antiquated steers seeming to bear
each year, according to the Biblical
standard, some fifty and some an
the ones that are talking
the loudest of the necessity for
the law.
Another plan by which the large herd
owners of Wyoming lost heavily has
been that adopted by certain residents
of Nebraska, living near the line
the two states. These gentlemen
adopted brands identical with those
owned by the largo outfits in eastern
Wyoming. This brand being registered
in Nebraska, its owner would be law-
fully possessed of all cattle bearing it
found on ranges. Large
which have drifted to the
and east before the heavy storms have
stolen in this way in past winters.
All this has in a condition
of affairs closely resembling actual war-
fare. The rustlers are yearly becoming
bolder and more numerous, and the cat-
profits are as constantly
tho vanishing point. The
State Stock association has
been formed for the avowed of
putting a stop to rustling. Whether
proved by this association or not, the
hanging of Waggoner, some distance
west of this city, and the shooting of
and Jones, in Johnson county,
show that extreme measures arc to be
followed.
The rustlers have already worked the
law in their own behalf. Tho arrest of.
Joseph Elliott, a special agent of the
Stock association, and the
swearing of a warrant for Fred
Coates, another who is acting
administrator of the Waggoner estate,
is the latest move in the fight. These
men are charged with having attempted
to murder rustlers who were camped
on Powder river.
When one remembers that the country
is sparsely settled, that immense in-
are at stake affecting the
welfare of entire states, that the
rustlers are numerous, brave and
less, and that the some of
whom are rustlers grown wealthy,
are equally determined and ready if they
find it necessary to resort to the
est measures, it may tie seen that the
situation promises anything a season
