Saturday", January 12, 1889. 
An epidemic of White capism has suddenly 
afflicted half the States in the Union, if not 
more It has spread East as far as New Jer¬ 
sey, where the usual threatening notices have 
made their appearance in several localities. 
Indiana and Ohio are still its headquarters, 
however, in spite of the efforts of the Govern¬ 
ors of both States to suppress the lawless 
organizations. Everywhere the members 
pharisaically pretend to be better than their 
neighbors, and to be acting as censors of the 
morals of their respective communities, exe¬ 
cuting their own irresponsible sentences by 
visiting obnoxious parties in overwhelming 
numbers during the darkness of night, with 
their features concealed ny white caps or 
other devices, and flogging them unmerciful¬ 
ly Women and cowardly men are the people 
whom they delight to torment. A bold resist¬ 
ance, even by a single person, generally puts 
the skulking rascals to flight. Where their 
identity has been disclosed, it is generally 
found that th°y are a set of rapscallions who 
themselves richly deserve the withes, although 
in some places they appear to be among the 
most respectable and law-abiding members of 
the community. Private grudge or enmity 
on their part, instead of moral turpitude on the 
part of their victims, is often the cause of their 
action. A number of deaths have resulted 
from their conduct. Moreover, just think of 
the misery caused by dread of their t hreats and 
the sting of t eir lashes! .During the 
past year, lynchings have been unusually 
numerous in the South and West. There 
have been eight in North Carolina alone, and 
the Attorney-General of the State says that he 
has no doubt that many innocent persons 
were hanged: and that sometimes the men 
who were really guilty were the prime mov¬ 
ers in the outrages, in order to fix their own 
guilt on others. The number hung or shot 
by Judge Lynch in several other States 
was still greater. There is no doubt 
that laxity in legally punishing criminals is 
the chief cause of these popular ouibursts of 
lawlessness. Vastly more care is taken to 
protect than to punish the guilty, and the 
greater a man’s guilt, the greater the protec¬ 
tion the laws.and especially the lawyers,afford 
him. The legal executions during the year 
in the whole Union were only 87, as compared 
with 79 in 1887, 83 in 1886 and 108 in 1885. 
Here are the numbers in the different States 
and Terrirories: Alabama, 5: Arkansas, 5; 
California, 5; Conmcticut, 1; Delaware, 1; 
Georgia, 3: Illinois, 2; Indiana, 1; Iowa, 1; 
Kansas, 2; Kentucky, 1; Louisana, 3; Mary¬ 
land, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Minnesota, 1; 
Mississippi, 4; Missouri, 4; New York, 9; 
New Jersey, 4; North Carolina, 2; Ohio, 3; 
Oregon, 1; Pennsylvania, 5; South Carolina, 
5; Tennessee, 2: Texas, 6; Arizona, 1; Idaho, 
2; Montaua. 2; Washington, 1; Wyoming, 1; 
Indian Territory, 2. Of this number all 
were males but one; 57 were whites, 
29 Degroes and one Chinaman. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
of road built last year gave employment to 
about 36 000 new hands. The average through¬ 
out the country is about five to a mile .... 
A test case is to be brought in this State to 
try the constitutionality of the collateral in¬ 
heritance tax .Last Monday, a May¬ 
oralty election took place at Windsor, 
Canada, (across the river from Detroit), at 
which the question of annexation to the 
United States was the issue, and if the annex¬ 
ation candidate had got 20 votes more than 
were polled for him, be would have been 
elected. The issue wouldn't have been made, 
however, had not the annexation sentiment 
been exceptionally strong there, owing doubt¬ 
less to the proximity of the place to the 
United States, and especially to wide-awake, 
prosperous Michigan. On the same day 
another Mayoralty election took place at 
Ottawa, with the National question as an 
issue. The English candidate was elected by 
100 majority, though the Frencb-Canadians 
made desperate efforts to elect their man. 
A bitter feeling exists and is growing 
between the two nationalities, and long¬ 
headed people foresee a serious conflict 
between the races before long _ 
While the national debt of the United States is 
decreasing e^ery year, that of Canada is in¬ 
creasing. While the writer was traveling 
extensively through Canada some years ago, 
he was frequently told, half seriously, half 
jocosely, that the proper policy for the coun¬ 
try would be to make a vast number of inter¬ 
nal improvements in the way of railroad and 
canal construction, etc., even if a large debt 
had to he incurred to do so. Then when an¬ 
nexation took place. Canada would be well 
equipped for successful competition with the 
other States, and the Union would have to as¬ 
sume the debt of the new accession. To make 
the improvements beforehand at the general 
expense would be easy, to do so afterwards 
might be difficult. Has this idea anything 
to do with the great increase in the 
debts of the Dominion ? ... . 
Frequent obstructive tactics and dead-locks 
in the Lower House of Congress during the 
week, as a few men seem determined to pre¬ 
vent all legislation unless they can get their 
own pet measures through in spite of the oppo¬ 
sition of a large majority of the House. The 
Oklahoma and Facific Railroad funding bills 
can hardly come up on this account, until the 
last six days of the session, and cannot then lie 
passed unless the Senate will have already 
passed them There are 12,000 bills now be¬ 
fore Congress, and new ones are introduced 
every week to ‘‘make a record,” as only a very 
few of those already considered can be acted 
upon. The Democrats want to make capital 
before they become the minority, and the 
Republicans want to delay desirable legisla¬ 
tion till they can get the credit 
for it when they are in the majority 
and therefore the responsible party.. 
As Good as Medicine. 
Invalids like encouragement. The phy¬

remedy in himself. There is an indefinite yet 
delightful assurance of convalescence in

yard men; while the public would have to 
pay considerably higher prices for their 
meat.Byron Halstead, Professor 
of Horticulture at the Iowa Agricultural 
College, at Ames, has accepted a similar sit¬ 
uation at the New Jersey Experi¬ 
ment Station, at New Brunswick .... 
There has been trouble between Mexican 
shepherds and herders belonging to the Chiri- 
cahua Cattle Company, on the Gila River, in 
Arizona. The shepherds were all killed for 
daring to graze their flocks near the com¬ 
pany’s range .Accounts come of 
appalling suffering from starvation among 
settlers in western Walsh County, Dakota. 
Over 70 families, with four or five children 
each, have been liviDg on porridge made by 
cooking their frozen green wheat and oats, 
stuff fit only for bogs. They went there with 
little money a few years ago, trusting to 
their crops for support after the first season. 
Crops mostly failed last vear, and thev had 
absolutely no money. They’ve had no flour 
for six weeks; their potatoes, which they 
shared as long as they lasted, are all gone, and 
they are on the brink of starvation. They 
have worn their clothes into rags; their 
shanties are opea all over to rain, snow and 
blizzards, and there's little fuel. Aid will be 
thankfully recived by the Rev. C. W. Riches, 
Park River, Dakota. Send some right along 
—no fear of there being too much for a long, 
bitter winter and 70 starving, ragged families, 
with five thin, half-naked children apiece. 
The Jute Bagging Trust is collapsing. 
Owing to alleged favoritism on the partof the 
Pennsylvania Railroad Cempany, the Balti¬ 
more elevators are overstocked with wheat, 
and loaded cars are side-tracked as far 
north as York, Pa., while the Philadelphia 
elevators are nearly empty. While over 
4,000.000 bu«hels of wheat are awaiting ship¬ 
ment in the Monument City, less than 325,000 
bushels are in the Quaker City elevators. 
The prize of 80.000 francs offered by the 
French Government for a machine that could 
successfully separate the fibre of the ramie 
plant from the woody portion of the stem, has 
not been awarded to any of the ten com¬ 
petitors, as none had satisfactorily done what 
was proposed. The great strength, fine lustre 
and beauty of the fabrics made from the 
ramie, would undoubtedly place it ahead of 
cotton, flax and hemp were it not for the diffi¬ 
culty of cheaply separating the silky fibre from 
the resinous, woody substance with which it is 
incorporated. This has hitherto defied the in¬ 
genuity ot mechanics and chemists. 
Representatives from 30 States, including 
all of the Eastern States, were present at the 
second annual meeting of the Amei ican As¬ 
sociation of the Agricultural Colleges and 
Experiment Stations, held at Knoxville, Tenn., 
last we k. Special attention was given to a 
dircussion of the work and organization of the 
new Agricultural Experiment Stations. It 
appears that in all the States, except two or 
three, the 815,000 a year given to each station 
are honestly expended in accordance with the 
letter and spirit of the Hatch law. It will be 
remembered that provision was made for 
withholding the appropriation from stations 
which misused it. It is to be hoped that 
this provision will not be permitted to 
fall into “nocuous desuetude.”.

Proofs are fast accumulating in Minnesota 
Dakota and Washington Territories that a 
rich, well organized gang, many of them ap¬ 
parently of the highest respectability, are 
smuggling large quantities of opium from Brit¬ 
ish Columbia. Large seizures of the drug 
have recently been made at several points in 
the Northwest and on the Pacific Coast, and 
a number of arrests have been made. It ap¬ 
pears difficult, however, to secure convictions. 
.Members of the Cotton Oil Trust 
monopoly are busy getting control of the 
manufacture of pine bagging in the South. 
The Trust is hesitating as to the prudence of

pectation of getting many more out of it....

patch from Los Angeles, Cal., states that the 
mystery of the Murchison-Sackville corres¬

The publishers of tne tempeiance paper the 
“Voice,” charge that the Republican National 
Committee bought its mailing list and otner 
private matter pertaining to ihe paper from 
two dishonest employes, who had stolen the 
matter, and who, besides cash down, received 
S onuses of fat government situations after 
arch 4. The employes have been arrested 
and have confessed. Quay and Dudley are said 
to be implicated. Tne Knights or Labor also 
allege that some one sold 10 the same commit¬ 
tee the mailing list of their organ, the “Jour¬ 
nal of United Labor,” for §5,000. The sub¬ 
scribers 10 both papers received “any amount” 
of Republican camgaign documents through 
the mail. No denial yet.The strike 
on the “Q” system has been declared “off,” on 
the promise of the railroad people that they 
would not oppose the employment of their 
old striking hands either on tueir own roads 
or on others—a very small concession... .Chief 
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomouve 
Engineers, will, it is said, soon resign, because 
the present policy of the Brotherhood is not 
in accordance with his views. There’s talk of

to Compound Oxygen.

over three years, ever since I first sent for 
Compound Oxygen.” Miss Susie Steele. 
Milton, Del., August 8, 1888. 
“My wife says 1 must tell you she believes 
that she would have been in her grave if it

Compound Oxygen on invalids suffering from 
consumption, asthma, bronchitis, dyspepsia,

Saturday, January 12, 1889. 
A bill is now before the Pennsylvania leg¬ 
islature, which makes it a crime for any per¬ 
son in the State to sell or offer for sale any 
dressed beef,pork or mutton, uuless the animal 
from which it was taken has been previously 
“inspected on the hoof,” so as to make sure 
that it is in a healthy condition. Last year 
Chicago slaughtered 1,820,000 cattle for dress¬ 
ed and canned meat, besides vast droves of 
swine and sheep, and this measure is to shut 
out competition with the cheap dressed meats 
of the West. It is said to be in the interests 
of Easternjfarmers, the prices of whose stock 
are kept unduly low by this dressed meat 
competition. Others, however, insist that it is 
rneiely the result of the machinations of 
Pennsylvania butchers an i stock-yard monop¬ 
olists, who have seen their enormous profits 
dwindle because so much of the meat for 
local markets is now supplied from Chicago. 
Tnese say that farmers would be benefited 
hardly at all by the passage of the bill, as 
stock would be cheaply transported on the 
hoof from the West, and that the chief or 
only gainers would be the butchers and Stock-
