Now, these require a strong, one and one so filled with embarrass ing difficulties that they decided not to meet it at noon. Tbe Governor held a conference with tbe Populist House members, and various leaders of the party. He said that the militia .could not be de pended upon to carry out bis orders. and that the resistance of 125 men composing the force of deputy ser geants and a hundred provisional troops, all that could be depended upon to stand loyal, would be useless before tbe sheriff's posse of 1,000 men. It was decided to hire a hall down town for the Populist House and there tbe meeting of the Populist House will be held until the difficul ties are set led. This action is looked on by some as "bluff," but is generally regarded as the logical outcome of the sheriff's action in summoning his posse to support the Republican position. Topeka, Kas, Feb. 17 Nothing has occurred to day in tbe legislative war more serious than a scuffle when tbe militia guard endeavored to stop the passage of food to the besieged Republican House.

Mr. Montgomery offered, on b tt a 1 1 - v nan oi me Alliance omcers, an amendment to present tbe charter as a substitute for the pending bill pro viding that any stockholder shou d hsve power to withdraw stock or subscriptions and be liable for only the amount of his stock. Chairman Patterson, of the com mittee, told Mr. Graham the bill was no reflection on him personally. Mr Graham in the course of his remarks said that if tbe bi'l w&s passed there would be trouble and a day of reckonieg, and declared he was a Democrat but had not voted for Cleveland.

It is perennial and also everlasting. Till time shall be no more, there will be offenders, lawt breakers and penitentiary convicts. Now the number is only 1,000; event ually (hey will increaee to two or three thousand. Although the world may be getting better, with tbe thickening of population, tbe diffi culty of making an honest livelihood in tbe lower grades of life will in crease, and the jail birds will become more numerous. So the penitentiary is a growing institution. Efforts should be made to grapple with the problem. Recently the penitentiary force has been self sustaining, but! that has been besause paying work has been found for them to do.

Ought there not to be a definite plan of operations determined on to cover the future. CERTAINTY OF PUNISHMENT. Wilmington Messenger. The best and surest way to put a quietus upon crime in North Carolina is to make conviction a certainty. Rascals and villains will take the risk so long as they feel that they have a pretty good chance of escape in case of detection. When the halter is just ahead and the hangman stands ready, there are hundreds of bad men who will consider the inevitable and turn away with a sigh of regret from tbe perpetration of the robbery or the murder. We believe in tbe eye for an eye doctrine of Jehovah as laid down in tbe one law book of Heaven. We take no sentimentality "in our n. Let the redhanded murs derer die the death. We believe that the banging with a quick shrift is better far for tbe punishment of murder and rape than imprisonment for life. What will not a man give for bis life, is tbe ques tion propounded in the Holy Script ures of Inspiration. If a man is dtvil enough to commit murder be is too much of a devil to live among people who are not of bis sort. Hang al men who wantonly and wickedly and deliberately slay their fellowmen. We know that in the North a dif ferent opinion prevails. We know that among tbe more ignorant classes in the South hanging is not favored. We know that iome of the Southern men of the law rather favor the abo lition of the death penalty or its very infrequent application. But it is a deterrent above all other mo3es of punishment when it is made certain of execution. Strengthen the hands of the law. Make tbe courts more efficient.
