Kxtract from Simmon' letter In
the N't'W-t tril ninerver, Sept. Jsth,
AllMM A II IIIK. KlUMliT,
The New and Ulw rvtr of the
lMh Instant, In a leading editorial
advocate the l.oott Hgnlrirtt large
corporat Ioiia th;it hi.- enercing and
intimidating their einiiloyes into
voting for McKlnley.
We make the following extract
from thu editorial :
'The Democrat! ought to return
"sin eye Tor eye." jr a gnat corpo
ration, organized to do a legitimate
laixineH attempts to control the
vote of the men It employs, they
ought to ho prosecuted by the ofll
corn of the law "
"The people ought to take their
punlshiiiont In their own hands.
"The Democratic National Com
mittee has requested to be advised
of all firms or corporations that
are pursuing the plan of coercion
or Intimidation with the view of
tellini' the honest people to boy
cott all Mich concerns. The India
uu Democrats are fully alive to the
necessity of meeting intimidation
with boycott and have already put
it in force."
From the above it is clear that
the News and Observer heartily en-
dorses, nationally, the boycott
against corporations that practice
control the votes of their employ-
es. If It Is right to use the boycott
against corporations on account of
their damnable methods then why
is it not right to use It when iudi
viduais Ucical the will or the peo
ple by ballot Btulling, coercion, in
iimiuaiion, ounaoing, ana vio
lencel The principle is precisely
the same. The voter by the adop
tion of ballot-stulling methods loses
his vote and he has no more rights
then than the employe who is co
erced by the powerful corporation
If the News and Observer thinks
that tho "Democrats ought to re.
turn an eye for an eye" on account
of the action of these corporations,
in influencing or controlling the
votes of their employes by threat
eiilng to discharge them.
Should that paper complain if
the men in this State, who have
had their ballots stolen In the Au
gust elect ion use in business deal
lugs the boycott against the ballot
Mtuffors and corruptlonists ? The
principle Involved here is precisely
the same, and tho News and Obser
ver, to be consistent, should turn
its lire against tho Simmons ballot
stulling machine.
That paper does not need to go to
Indiana to learn of coercion, intlm
idation or fraud In elections.
In this Stato the damnable meth
ods of the Simmons crowd "smell
to heaven."
' Tho peoplo ought to take their
punishment in their own hands,"
as the News as Observer suggests
WILL NOT STAXDTItK TKST.
Klsewhere will be found an edi
torial from the Norfolk, Virginia,
Kaudmark. a Democratic paier, de
claring it.i opinion that the Supreme
Court will declare the 4 'U rand fat her
clause" of the Constitutional Amend
ment in conflict with the Federal
Constitution.
The opinion held and expressed
by the landmark is in accord with
the opinion of many of the greatest
lawyers in the United States who
have given consideration to the
proposition.
A great number of leading n'ews
lptTH, without regard to political
associat ion, have declared that such
a scheme of disfranchisement con
travenes the Federal Constitution.
Hut the mobocracy of this State
wanted the offices, and Constitution,
law, order, decency or anything else
was not allowed to stand in their
vay.
With them the Constitution and
Declaration of Independence were a
'covenant with hell."
Tho address of President Venablo
of the University was very excel
lent, thoughtful and practical. Ho
showed la splendid fashion the
great work that the University has
accomplished, and is accomplishing.
This institution, being the head of
the public school system of the
State, should receive the cordial
support of tho people, and they
should feel proud of lt great record,
which Is a part of the history of
the BUle.

Tho greatest of all issues so far
as our farmer population is con
cerned Is free speech, free ballot
and a fair count. Everybody who
believes In the prosecution of the
principles of free government In
this State should vote and work to
defeat the present mobocracy. They
have no respect for the rights of the
common people as was demonstra
ted in the August election. Every
one who wants good laws and just
government in tho State should
unite on the Issue of honest eloc
tions which is paramount to every
other political consideration.
The government reports, recently
issued, indicate some slight im
provement In the condition of the
cotton crop In consequence of which
there has been a dec. Ine in the
price, cotton has been carried to
market so rapidly in some sections
that the receipts are larger than for
last year. This gives the specula
tor an opportunity to depress the
price. If cotton were maikotod
with some system the farmers
would be greatly benefitted. The
crop is short and farmers should not
rush their cotton to market.
An unf ir and dishonest election
aw should have no place on the stat
ute books of this country. Every
vote that is cast should be honestly
counted.
A man who will commit perjury
and steal ballots will rob a bank if
the same opportunity for escape is
afforded him. Every man who be
lieves in honesty should use his in
fluence to have an honest and fair
ballot law enacted when the Legis
lature meets. There is no excuse for
the present infamous law to remain
on the statute books.

Col. Bryan had the largest crowd
to hear him when he spoke in New
York last week that ever greeted a
speaker in that State. It was a con
tinuous ovation to him during his
brief stay in that eity. He has made
a number of speeches in New York
State, and many think his chances
are good for carrying it. However,
the result i New York, where all
the big financial institutions are lo
cated, it is difficult to forecast with
any degree of accuracy.
There should be a strong, aggress
ive and active Populist organization
in every township in the State. If
they are not already organized steps
should be taken as soon as possible
to perfect an organization. The Peo
ple's Party is the only hope of the
masses of this country, and they
should rally to its support. As a
party it is opposed to "fraud, force"
and ballot-stuffing in elections. If
the people's political liberties are to
be preserved in this State, they must
organize at once to defeat - the mo
bocracy now in control.

'I' he South and Tbe SuHrK.
Norfolk, Va., Landmark.
Numbers of Northern papers are
greatly pleased with some remarks
recently made by Senator 'Tillman of
South Carolina, in his frank st and
mo tt engaging manner. There is no
doubt that Tillman often says im
pressive and sensible things. There
is no doubt that he is a man of abili
ty and force. In spite of the en
thusiasm shown by several of our
Northern contemporaries, however,
we find it impossible to go farther ir
praise of tho pitchfork-wielder.
What gives his Northern admirers
inch a nigh opinion of 1 tllman is
seen from the following editorial
comment in the Philadelphia Even
ing Telegraph:
"Senator Tillman, of South Caro
Una, is not altogether the 'pitchfolk'
fanatic that he is sometimes repre
sented as being. He is a shrewd and
intelligent observer, and realizes
clearly just how far it is safe for
him and his adherents to go in the
furtherance of their favorite politi
cal theories. He has given hia views
on the Southern disfranchisement
movement in a current interview, in
which he displays more common
sense and sound judgement than
have been in evidence in the recent
progress of the conspiracy against
the colored voters of the 'lately re
bellious States.' In Mr. Tillman's
opinion, the ingenious device of the
grandfathers clause,' by which the
disfranchisement of the blacks has
been effected in Louisiana and North
Carolina, is such a plain discrimi
nation against a class of the popu
tation on account of color that it is
in contravention to the XIYth
Amendment to the National Consti
tution, and will be declared uncon
stitutional by the Supreme Court of
the L'nited States, as soon as it comes
before that tribunal for adjudica
tion." The Landmark is inclined to be
lieve that Senator Tillman is right
about the "grandfather clause." We
have always said that its acceptance
by the Supreme Court is very doubt
ful. The South Carolinian ' and
Misaisdppian plans, by which the
elimination of the ignorant and
venal negroes Is effected without
any resort to an ancestral qualifica
tion, have already been passed upon
by the Supreme Court and pronoun-
Ced Constitutional.
Of course, it is not strictly correct
to say that the "grandfather clause''
tffdct8 the disfranchisement of the
blacks, and we hardly think that
Senator Tillman said it. The object
of the grandfather clause is to ex
cept the whites from the restrictions
which apply to the negroes. Again,
the Telegraph is in technical error
when it adjudges this clause to be a
plain discrimination against a class
of the population on account of
color." That is the effect, to be
sure ; but the legal trouble with the
grandfather clause is that it creates
a privileged class. When you say
to a body of men that all of them
who can read and write or can pr jve
the ownership of a little property
may vote, you do nothing nnfair.
Men who are not now able to meet
the qualification may qualify them
selves before the next election if
they are in earnests Oa the other
hand, when we say that every man
may vote if he can read and write,
or can prove the ownership of a cer
tain amount of property, or can
show that his ancestors could have
voted before slavery was dis-estab-lished,
then we open to one class an
avenue of escape from the educa
tional and property qualifications
which is barred completely and eter
nally against the other class. The
fact that one class is white and ha
other colored is well-known, j ist as
it is well-known that an alternative
educational and propert) quahfi;a
tion will cat off ten or twenty negro
votes to every white one; but the
ancestral clause would oe equally
nnfair if there were not a negro in
the country.

There was a revolt at the Mat. ash

State Hospital for the Criminal la
sane, at 0 :f o'cl.ick tonight, wheu
six or eight keejs-n were assaulted
and uverjHiwered by Uut twenty
Ins&nw patients. Some of the pa
tients escaped and seven are still
at large. One or two of the kep
ers are badly bruised as a result of
the assault. After the patients bad
been given their usual Hunday
night supjs r they were taken back
to their apartments In company
with keepers. Among the unmix t
were . or 20 who slei.t in one of
the large corridors, this being n
cessary on account of the cramp-d
conditions at the Institution. In
this hall with tho patients wcr
dx or eight keepers, who sat on
their chairs, watching the inmates
as they walked up and down the
hall in a restless manner.
There were no auspicious move
ruenta on the part of the patients to
indicate that they had been planning
a revolt of kny kind. They looked
as they always did, first at one keep
er and then at another, but the keep
ers did not think that there wm a'jj
trouble in the minds of the twenty
prisoners. Suddenly and without
warning, each keeper attacked si
multaneously by two or three per
sons and heavy blows fell oa the
heads o the surprised attendants.
There did not seem to ba any leader
of the revolt, and while the patients
were assaulting the keepers they
would glare at each other occasion
allya8 if waiting for the word to
make the break for liberty. The keys
the keepers had were soon taken
away from them and a rush was then
made for the door leading from the
ball into the dining room.
As the patients ru3hrd through
the dining room each one of them
picked from the table a heavy plate
or cup or bowl, to nse as a weapon
In case they were overtaken by the
keepers. The lights were still burn
ine in all tne departments, and tut
insane mob bad clear sailing. From
the dining room they went through
the adjoining rooms, the doors ot
which were unlocked, and then into
the hallway to the rear entrance. The
patient in advance of the others was
nervously fingering over his bunch
of keys as he ran, looking for the
keys to the rear door. The keys were
well known to them and the rear
door was unlocked without much
loss of time. With a yell the mob
rushed out of the narrow door, fUht
ing with each other as they went,
each wanting to be in the lead.
In the yard they ran like deer and
crowded around the big gate in the
wall, while one of their number was
turning the key in the lock. When
the gate was thrown open they rush
ed out of the yard, fairly tumbling
over each other in their anxiety to
be free again. In the meantime the
keepers who had been overpowered
h.d given the alarm, and after t
chase, all bnt seven were recaptured

Atlanta, Tex., Oct. 21. A tornado
struck about half a mile west of
Loxli and 15 miles west of here, to
day. The path of the tornado was
200 yards wide and the wind swept
everything before it. One house in
the centre of its path, occupied by
negroes, was destroyed, six people
being killed outright. Three others
are missing and are supposed to le
dead.
The cyclone traveled from the
southwest to the northeast, crossing

The lumber was carried away in all
directions.

overruled by Judge Cantrill who de
clared that he was powerless to stop
the trial unless the defendant be ad
judged a lunatic. Youtsey, on yes

stated that he had resumed taking

while his respiration was rap dly be

Puts a Public "M-bool and Teacher in
Pau ic.
Richmond, Va., Special, 19th, to Phil
adelphla North American.
With a big six-shooter In his hacd
it)d determination written on every
feature, 6-year-old Claudie Jordan
esterday afternoon threatened to
clean out Nicb'Lon street public
cbool, with its 4x scholars acd a
I . 1 T 1 1
large corps oi toacners. ue looiea
as though he meant what he aaid,
c dement prevailed.
Claudie had been narboring a
grudge against his teacher, which
toemed strange, for she is pretty, a
dainty little woman, and he swore a
deep oath that he would get even for
past application of the birch while
he was turned across her knee. Yes
terday morning, taking advantage of
the temporary absence of his parentr,
he climbed upon a chair and secured
his father a revolver from the bu
reau.
With the weapon buttoned tightly
within his little jacket, he strode
proudly off to school, trying to make
up bis mind in what position of the
anatomy to shoot the teacher, should
she molest him.
No opportunity offered Itself nntil
afternoon, when Claudie, having
blundered egregiomly in a lesson,
was told that he must stay in after
school. When he hauled out hs wea
pon and flourished it around hishead,
a grand stampede and almost a panic,
too place. The scholars fled scream
ing from the room, but the pretty
little teacher, white as a piece of
marble, held her ground.
'I'll get even With you now," re
marked the juvenile rough rider,
trying to get his heavy weapon oa a
level with her heart.
"I'm goirg to fill you ehuck full of
lead."
A tragedy might have followed
had Claudie been familiar with bis
weapon. But he forgot to draw back
the hammer before attempting to
pull the trigger, and the little teach
er's life was saved.
The venerable principal witnessed
the exciting tableau through a win
dow and hastened to the rescue, dis
arming the blood-thirsty youngster.
Meanwoile a squad of police ar
rived, having heard that bloody work
was in progress. One of the blue
coats conducted the lad home to his
parents, where he waa placed in
communicado. Hunting- Kixlies and Wreckage in lialvea
