A Flagruiit Perventlou ol lllatory
In the course of an article commendatory
of the Hon. John 8. Carlile, the
Martinsburg Indtptndenl make* the following'curiom
and outrageous uti* state
West Virginia has wilhjn her borders
a statesman of unquestioned ability,
whoie course must commend him to the
favorable consideration of the President,
and whom he might with great propriety
call upon to assist him in n Cabinet position.
We mean ex-Senator John S. Car*
lile. To him more than to any man living
West Virginia owes her existence as
a Slate to-day.
We make no criticism on the recommendatory
portion of this paragraph.
We are perfectly willing that President
Have* Hhall make any disposition of Mr.
Carlile that seems good in his eye*. Hut
yre do object to asking preferment for any
ui&o on ground so absolutely untenable
as the statement that West Virginia owes
her existence as a Stale in the Union to
Mr. Carlile. No statement could be more
at variance with the trulh. The editor of
the reflects severely on his own
fitness to write for the public when he
makes such a statement. The stateship
of West Virginia was won in spite of the
defection of Mr. Carlile in ihe very supreme
hour*of the contes*, and after a
desperate effort on his part to defeat the
bill in Congress. Those who wish to read
the history of that defection can tind it in
the files of this paper in the summer and
fall of 1802. The editor of th? Independent
has great need to rtad up in the history
of West Virginia.
YeNterdnj's ISuiit- The Crops.
The rain last evening is worth more
than we can (ell to this region of country.
The lack of it for a week pant was beginning
to excite apprehension aiuong the
farmer*. The ground had baked after
the heavy rains of three or four weeks
ago, and then came the cold spell, followed
by our late dry weather, during which
the corn and oaU had not only made no
progress, but rather gone back. We are
all right after last night's refreshing
hower, and start into the summer with
the best prospects fur years past of a big
crop. This is the prospect throughout
* the country, save in Southern California,
where the small rainfall bl the winter has
left barrenness and drouth, which are not
only preventing a crop of wheat, but
bringing to death a large per centage of
tho cattle ar.d cheep in that section.
There have been more rains in Northern
and Central California, and the
crop prospects there are at least of
the average. The grasshoppers in some
localities of the West and the potato
hugs in the East are making trouble for
the farmers, who arc, however, fighting
their enemies with increased intelligence
and success, and the damage Irotn them
this season is not liTely to be serious or
wide spread. There is no surer basis for
faith in the restored prosperity of tl/e
country than in this condition and
promise of the agricultural interest.
Probably the United States will raise a
greater amount of food, cotton, and wool
Lhis year, and get more money ior it all,
than in any year before. In spite of the
lessening foreign demand for our paper
securities, ana even the return of many
heretofore bold abroad, the balance of
trade continued heavily in favor of the
United State*, and is likely to remain so
for the next year; and this, with good
government and persistent industry, are
the sure guarantees of a hoalthy and
prosperous future.
Tl?? i'hiNolui Muiuncrc.
There are some evidences?not as many
as we hoped for?that the Southern
papers will fin ally pres the authorities |
of Mississippi into aggressive measures
in order to bring the murderers of the I
Chuoltn family to justice. We have a
poor opinion of Mississippi justice at the i
beat. There is a semi-barbarous public'
opinion throughout the whole South on
the subject of murder that sadly needs
the power of tho press and the hand of
authority to correct it. Gov. Stone made
high pretensions some months ago as to
wuai ne wouiu uo 10 assure me puonc
tranquillity and protect life in cue of an
outbreak. He wrote to Attorney General
Taft a letter containing thin high
rounding sentence. "The perpetrator*
"f wrongs are responsible to 8tate
authorities, and I am able to bring all
?uch to justice, and I atn determined to
do no " The#e be brave words, but thus
f tr they have not been made good, and
the country stands horrified at the pas iveneM
of the Governor in the presence
of such a revolting butchery, The
picture of that savage mob shooting down
father, son and daughter grows more
vivid the longer their slaughter remains
unavenged and almost uninvestigated.
The case is really a test one for the whole
section, and It is surprising that the lm- ?
portance of the issue has not been appre* _
ciated.
The question whether barbarous atrocities
are to be allowed to pass unnoticed in*
volves to a large extent the prosperity of
Mississippi, and it is a question that p
Mississippi mUHt solve for itself. The w
South has its future in Its own hands, but hi
it muni be very blind not to see that im- jj
migration, capital and prosperity are not
going to a State where a family are shot
down and there is no likelihood of any*
body's being punished for it, or that the Bj;
rest of the country will not feel much re
ilinponed to help in the desired material w'
improvement of a section that lets bar- j?
barium ro unchecked. cc
II. V. Ked field, the Southern corres* w,
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, m
well known for his conservative tendenciee,
considers the Chisolm mawacre a w:
crime that cries aloud to heaven for ven- th
geance. He prophesies, however, in Sat- ?'
urdaj'a Commercial, that nothing will be
done. It is not the Southern style to do h<
anything in such cxies. lie lays stress D
on the certainty that the murderers will J*
under no punishment in thin world. J
"But," (he adds) 0j
"We hare the comfort (A believing tli
that there in hereafter adenylate reward n<
for such terrible crimen a< this butchery bj
of the Chifuhn firnily. 'Vengeance is lii
mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.' In (J:
contemplating the sickening crimen of si
our own day which go without earthly w
punishment, and in looking back over ni
the history of the world, which is little m
less than a detail of crime, I do not envy ol
the man who believes there are no re* te
wards and punishments hereafter, no in
'evening up' anywhere. If this be so,
then is the very name of justice a mock* m
ery. He who permits himself to doubt 1'
that there is a just Uod in heaven, who will li
punish the guilty that so easily escaped r<
in this world, and who can not be de- li
ceived by false appearance or lies?the tl
man who permits himself to doubt these c<
truths, I say, denies him*elf a luxury. It pi
h indeed a luxury to believe that horri- tc
ble crimes like this in Kemper county ol
will not forever go unpunished. The tl
Court* and local authorities may be all on n
one side now, but there is an Authority
that will judge the authorities, and local ai
Kvujjmwi/ miu jmruniw leeung win noi w

Wnite last evening summoned the

they could only agree upon a verdict in I
the case of one of the eleven persons]
charged with conspiracy. This was Ab-|

old, who was acquitted. The Judge then
discharged the jury, and the ten remaininir

term of Court. Counsel think it unlikely
that there cases will ever again be tried.
It is now known that the jury ntood six

tal, the six whites being lor and the nix
blacka against. The black jurymen,
however, were willing to agree upon a
verdict convicting two of the accused and
acquitting all the rent, but to this the six
whites would not consent.*

The Pope'* Uolden Jubilee.
Ikdiahapolib. June 3.?The Catholics
celebrated the Pope's Golden Jubilee by
appropriate services in all the churches
and by a procession through the streets
in the afternoon, a feature of which was
wagons containing 85, 50 and 31 young
girls in white, dccorated with the Pupal
colors, representing the ago of the Pot*,
the years of his episcopate and of his
pontificate. The procession was half an
hour passing and plentifully supplied
with bands of music. The concluding
ceremonies consisted of an ovation and
singing by societies, which took place in
the State House grounds. The weather
was warm and threatening, but pleasant i
throughout.
St. Loots, June 3.?The celebration of
the Golden Jubilee of Pope Pious IX, i
to-day, was one of the most notable, in '
some of it* features, that has erer been
witnessed here. It has been many yearn |
since an occasion has occurred to bring
out the Irish and German Catholics to. '
gether, and thereforo but little opportu* i
nity has previously been had to observe 1
the numerical strength of the various or- >
ganizations of the different nationaltics. 1
Today however brought them all out, 1
and a Hplendid display they made. The '
weather could not have been better. 1
The rain of last night completely I
laid the dust and cooled the atmosphere I
to a degree that made the marching i
delicious. The different parts of the procession
began to organize long before
noon and the streets were alive with .
societies forming and marching to take Jj
their places preparatory to falling into f
the main line. At 1 p. m. *vi?rvil?5nw
was ready and the column took up it*
line of march from 21st street and Luca? '
avenue, headed by squads of mounted 1
police and followed by Grand Marshal 1
Col. Arnold, backed with 150 escort aids; y
then came the Emmet Light Guard*, of
Peoria, Ills., Lindell Gray*, Taylor
Guards and an attack of Blue*, colored, t
of St. Louis. The 1st, i!d, lid nnd 4th c
divisions, composed of all the German, 5
parish, benevolent and other societies
headed by their Marshals and aid?, then
fell into line, and these were
followed by St. Elizabeth parish, j
colored, healled by it* Priest and Marshal t
this being given the centre of the column. t
Then came the Irish part of the proces- i
sion?the Ancient Order af Hibernian*
with ten divisions of that Order, the benevolent
division, the temperance divia- *
ion, the sodality of tho parish, and last v
the citizena' division, composed of citizens
in carriages, on horsebnek and afoot. t
There were between seventy ami eighty
nuiijcucn ouu urgauitniiuun Ul Ullieri'Ill
kinds in line, all gaily dressed in handsome
uniforms or regalia, with beautiful
banners and proper flornl decoration*. ,
About forty brass band* furnixhed ,
music, and at frequent interval* il.t
column was made brilliant with lar^v,
finely embellished wagons filled with el- )
legantly dressed little cirla and brilliant- '
ly attired little boys, who wait upon the <
tiriesta at different churches in the city. "
There were also numerous carriages at
different places in the procession containing
priests and officials of various gradcn. f
Altogether it was the longest, finest and
most attractive display in the wav of a
parade that we have had in this city for
manv years and reflected great credit upon
all. Is is said 20,000 were in line,
including children. The streets along
the line were densely thronged with spectators,
and many houses handsomely decorated
with American flag?, the l'ope's
colors, nortrait. and Moral designs. Tim
American flag also vied with the Pope'*
colors in the procession, nnd was seen al? J]
most as frequently. The procession wa? '
two hourB in passing a given point, and 1
moved at a brisk pace. Aside from the
military company from Peoria, there wan
a temperance society and several hundred t
citizens from the same place, nnd several ?
societies from East St. Louis, which mnde
a creditable appearance. I

Captiiin and Purser are unwilling to
maKe statements until the former has
submitted hi? report to the Agents of the
company. The officers avoid giving nnv
theorieH concerning the rock on which
the ship struck. The passengers say
there was deep water all around it.
The Mexican gunboat officers say that '
they knew nothing of it before the shock,
when the nhipstrnck, of about thirty
seconds' duration. In a few minutes
after striking the boats were cleared
away without confusion, and the passengers
seated in them realv for lowering.
Full steam waa puton the ship. Grounding
about four miles from shore, the
boats were instantly lowered, and pulled
for the beach. On landing, out of nine
boats only one^ escaped upsetting. The
surf was combing twelve or fifteen feet
high, and when it struck the boat it came
with such force that the occupants were
hurled ten or fifteen feet, liabes were J
thrown from the arms of their mothers. _
nil even garments and jewelry wrenched
from them by the wavet?.
When the first boat touched the shore,
those in it threw out a rope, awl arranged
themselves in line to help the next coin*
ers, and this system of rendering a*?intance
was followed until every soul was
safe on land.
One baby wm rescued just before life
wan extinct, and it took some time to restore
vitality. One of the ladies was
caught under the boat and held there for
some time, but as the next swell of the tea
raised the craft she managed to escape.
There was no time for delicate handling,
and the men, knowing that the safety of
lives depended upon prompt and vigorous
action, handled the children as they
would so many bags of sand.

tho troubles of our municipal authorities,
whose seared consciences and failing
memories are being ruthlessly pricked
by a rclentkes grand jury of Chicago's
best citizens.?the newsmen have been
pretty actively engaged.
Whatever the effect of Gov. Collum's
