Mayor Carter Harrison was assassinated last night in his own home by a crank named Eugene Patrick Prendergast. The assassin is a paper carrier who says that his only reason for the mur der is that the mayor had promised to- make him city attorney and had failed to do it. At 8:25 o'clock a smooth faced man rang the door bell of Mayor Harri son's home on South Ashland boule vard. Mary Hanson, a domestic open-t ed the door. The man -asked if the mayor was in and said he would like to see him. The servant admitted, the caller. . Mr. Harrison, who had' been lying down, started out to the hall as he heard his name mentioned. - CARTER H. HAnRlSOX. . His caller-advanced ten feet down the hall and without a" word began firing. He fired three times, the third striking Mayor Harrison! The bullet hit just above, his heart. He walked back to the dining room and fell on the floor of the pantry. The assassin turned and walked out. I he mayor s son twenty-nve years t old, ran down the stairs at the sound of the shots and hurried to his father.' Mr. Harrison's coachman ran into the rear of the hall as the . murderer was passing out. The coachman had a pistol and fired twice at the assassin. ' Persons running in from the street to see what had happened prevented tne coachman irom followinflr the mur derer. A neighbor living on the oppos; side of the street rushed across and spoke to Prendergastbutdid not know he was the slayer. 1 he mayor bled rapidly. . - , : To his son and friends ' who stood by him he Said that he was shot through the heart and would die soon. While speaking he became unconscious and died before the doctor arrived. While the police were looking for the man and picking up suspicious characters, the very man himself walked into the Desplaines street po lice station with a pistol in his hand. He was trembling and ashy pale. "I did it," he said, "he promised to make me corporatidn counsel and broke his word.""

The removal of Rear Admiral Stanton by I'ecretary Herbert from his command if the United States fleet in Brazilian waters, for saluting the flag of Rear Admiral Mello, the Brazilian insurgent leader, was the sole topic of conment Itmong naval officers today. They are tnortified and disappointed at his ac tion, and do not hesitate to so express themselves. Whatever may have been Commodore Stanton' explanation for his conduct has not yet been divulged at the navy department. It is assumed, however, from what the officials say, that he was given full opportunity to make an explanation before the secre tary's summary action, but they refuse to indicate'what its nature was. , It is supposed Commodore Stanton will leave Eio de Janeiro at an early day for this country.

One thing we ought Vt 1 f 1 aW,-v nli t :i i.'M- if wo ootild af ford it, and that is a refoimatory prison '. with wrtrkslinns and other attachments for criminals under sixteen years oi : age. What are we to do with the boys who are going to destruction? A few years ago Mrs. Lou Gordon visited Elmira, N. Y.,' to see the reformatory there and she wrote a very interesting and instructive letter about it. Two thousand boys under sixteen workinsj insr like heroes in the shons at different trades, and every few months a number - ikhat Shakespeare wrote about in Ham-dish-rd as ref nrmod and ernod Tilaeea ! let, is a thinjr of the past. Criminals iounu ior mem among me iarmers or the mechanics. Boys of that tender age can be reformed, but not when serving a sentence in the chaingang with hardened criminals. ' We had that system in our old penitentiary. I remember-well a man who stole some money when only sixteen years old. He was sent to the penitentiary for four years and learned "a trade. Four years of work painting wagons made him a 1 it ll p ". good artisan, and he stuck to it and kept a good name and was respected. When the war came on he was among the first to volunteer." lie joined a Rome company and fell with his face to the foe at the first battle of Manassas. He used to tell me how kind the prinei-. pal keeper of the penitentiary was to him and how he got new ideas of life, and its duties from that good man and and resolved to come out of there re formed. That good man was Dr. Alex ander, the father of my friend Dr. Jim. That is the way to do it. The boys want kind words. They want a friend. Most of these young criminals have had a hard life with no friends to encourage them perhaps an intemperate father and a miserable motherland poverty in the place called home. , What can we do to stop the progress of crime in our state? It is increasing in ratio every year increasing much faster": than population increasing among a rising generation. The chief causes seem to be idleness and the lack of parental restraint. "Idleness is the parent of vice," so said lien Franklin, and he knew for he liked to have turned out a vagabond. Work was all that saved him. The most striking differ ence between the parents of the present day and those of fifty years ago is in the way tliey control their children. - In the olden times children feared their parents, bat now th --o 41,1 children. "Whv don't you stop that boy of yours from smoking cigarrettes." "Because I can't. I have talked to him and so has his mother, but it don't do any good." ; Yes, talked to him. Ffty years ago a father would have taken that boy be hind the smokehouse and talked to him with a rod about three feet long. There was no fooling round with . the boys in them days. Obedience to parents was one of the cardinal principles in the household. I remember a boy who got a good threshirg for speaking disrespectfully to "his mother. He an swered her back, that was all, but his father heard it, and then his back an swered for the -disrespect. The poor mother cried, and when the father was gone she rubbed the marks with lini ment, and that was all.,': If Solomon dent know,' who did? tile must have had several boys to look after, and I reckon he had an acre or two of switches. If a school teacher whips a boy nowadays he is threatened with prosecution and a big fuss is made over it in the newspapers, and the boy comes out of it a martyr and a hero. When Dr. J im and I were boys we were afraid to let our fathers know that we got a whipping at school. One day Jim WilsOn ran away from John Norton to keep from a whipping. Old Dr. Wilson, the preacher, found it out that night, and next morning marched Jim to the schoolhouse, and be took his medicine like a little man. But I know some preachers' sons who need medicine, but they don't get it any where. The teach ers and the fathers are afraid of the boys. We had a first-class southern outrage in our town the other day, and I am surprised that it hasent got into the. northern papers. A negro boy of six teen was lynched right here in John Anderson's iivery stable. John Ander son is one of our best citizens, but he actually connived at this lynching. The boy is a street vagabond, and was caught stealidg the lunch out of a bug gy that was left in the stable. He had eaten up one from another buggy and had begun on the second when discov ered. He was tied in a stall and his mother sent for. She weighs about two hundred pounds, and when she came and learned of the trouble, she exclaimed,, "Dar, now, tole you so, tank de good Lord I dun got you dis time." I bin try in' to git hold of you for six munts, and you git away f rum me ebery time. .But I -got you now, tank de' Lord." She asked for a whip or a cow hide or something, but was given a For the cure of headache, consti pation, stomach and liver troubles, and all derangements' of the digestive and assimilative organs, Ayer's Pills are invaluable.

She stripped him in a posterior fashion, and bent over him a cross bar, and those licks and those yells were awful to hear, and awfuler to .behold. She lynched him while John Anderson and other humane gen tlemen looked on and approved. That darkey will never steal another lunch from that stable nor from any other stable. ,' But there is one law I do hope the legislature will pass. Let these public hangings be abolished. We had one here last week, and several thousand people gathered there to feast upon the scene. Now, I don't raise my hand in holy horror about men going" to see a man hung but one time ought to sat isfy any man, and no time for women and children. It should not be wit nessed as a farce or frolic, but rather as a funeral. There were, perhaps, a thousand white women around the gal- low's, and some whose only appropriate place was at home. It is encouraging a morbid and debasing curiosity and wo- men witn tenaer nearts ana rennea feelings have no business at such places. It will profit' us to imitate the older ffovernmants, 6uch as England and Ger many, whose executions have been pri vate for half a century: Some thought ful persons say that public executions 'are a warning to the vicious, but this fwas not, for there stood the man with a cigar in his mouth, selling a book, and .showing no sign of fear or repentance j but rather a desire to play the hero to the last. - What kind of a warning is ithat which trifles with death as this inan did? , I An intelligent Englishman said to me that since he had been in the south he (had noted one striking difference be tween our criminal procedure and theirs. "England," said he, docs not allow her Jaws to be trifled with. They are exe- jcuted promptly. The flaw's delay,' ,re brought to speedy trial. Anotnei difference in murder cases is that mur Idersin England are generally done in ;cold blood planned and preineditatec f and the murderer is a vicious, brutal man. It is rare, very rare, that a kill ling is done in the sudden heat of pas jsian. Men do not shoot each othei there for being called a liar or a swin ,dler, 'or f or an insult or an indignity. ! They quarrel, and call each other hard names, but they dont often come tc blows, and never to weapon. Hhj pockets and pistols are unheard of. And so when a murderer is brought tc trial, he gets speedy justice, lie is con victed and sentenced, and disappears. ' When our country grows to that, .then, perhaps, these rynehings will stop lynchings for all crimes save one. Bill Abp. FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED. The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital ist Will TrT la Nebraska. A plan for securing farmer immi grants has just been put in operation in Nebraska by a wealthy Ohio manu facturer, and it is the understanding ;of the . South that Gov. Northen, of Georgia, advocates a similar expen ment in his state. Some time ago the ,Ohio man purchased 12,000 acres in Ne braska. In the center of this tract 160 acres are laid off for the village site, and in the center ' of this forty acres -for a public park'. Facing the park 'are the school, church or churches, fpublic halls, stores, shops, etc. The remainder is cut ' up into 240 lots .of about a half acre each for dwellings dor the farmers, storekeepers, mechan ics and others who may seek a resi dence in the village. After providing .for the village the rest of the 12,000 acres is divided into 150 farms of about 'eighty acres each, with roads so laid out as to give each farmer an open highway to the village. It is proposed .to sell these farms on time, giving Jample time to the purchasers to pay for them, and to assist in the building of the village by helping tc build the .Echoolhonses, churches and" such other publio buildings as may be desired. If (this idea is carried out, there will be ia village with 150 families of farmers, and perhaps fifty or more other fam ilies of storekeepers, mechanics and ;others, say a village of 200 families, or 1,000 people, which would make a con siderable place. Gov. Northen suggests that land 'owners form joint su:k companies, purchase a central tract for the pillage, .build a church, a schoolhouse, a store, -have a post office established, and then let those nearest the village site either rbnild, or If - practicable move their dwellings to the village site, thus giv ing it a start. Then subdivide the large farms into small ones, and invite settlers to come, purchase and become 'residents of the village. ; .

The silver leaders among the south ern democrats notified Senator Duboise about 1 o'clock today that they would take the lead in no further fillibuster ing and lend no .further support to the senators irii- the mining states in resisting a vote. Senator Harris came out - of a conference with Cockrell, Vest and other- democratic silver men and conveyed this information direct to Senator Duboise.

The debate may drift along two or three days longer, so as to allow Jones, of Nevada, "to conclude his speech, but the roll will then be called and unconditional repeal passed.

In the house, Mr. OateF favorably reported from the judiciary committee the bill to amend the naturalization laws of the United States.

' Washington, D. C.. October 27. The leading democratic senators today were all of the opinion that uncondi tional repeal would go through next week, and with them, the question now is, what is to come after repeal ? Some of them expressed the opinion that President Cleveland would send a message to congress, urging the coin age of the seigniorage in the treasury, but the republicans have announced, that the will fight this. In fact, they say that the Sherman law provides that no more coin certificates shall be issued. They elaim that the seignior age cannot be coined unless the seign iorage bill amends the remaining sec tions of the law. , The republicans think this bad policy, and will fight it, and it is said some democrats will do likewise. The leading repeal senators agree with senator Sherman that a bond issue must be provided for. There is a deficiency in the treasury of 850,000,000 which must be made up at once, and the only way to do that in the event that a bill to coin the seign iorage cannot be adopted, Is to issue bonds. , They will favor that, and so will a majority of the republicans, but the southern democrats are bitter against a bond, issue, and this will lead to another fight. Mr. Cleveland holds, however, that bonds can be issued un der; the law of 1875, and he may relieve the embarrassing situation by instruct ing Secretary Carlisle to issue them. It has been given out from the white house that the president does not de sire congress to continue in session after theTepeal bill is passed. Secre tary Carlisle holds that he has author ity .under existing law. to coin the bul lion purchased under the Sherman act, and to cover the seigniorage into the treasury. He has issued orders to the mints to prepare for the coinage ,of bullion at the rate of $3,000,000 per month. This will yield a seigniorage of less than $1,000,000 per month. Washington, October 28.
