To the Editor of The Beo.
I moved from Ohio one year ago
this month. My chief object was to
get away from high and exorbitant
taxation , and also .a country run by a
set of political rats , rings and cliques ,
and full of corruption to the core.
Yes , so tospeak , they are nothing
more than so many legal daylight
thieves and robbers in their way cf
doing business. My short experience
here ia , that I have simply jumped
out of tbe frying-pan into the fire.
I am reading your paper , and take
a great deal of'interest in your edito
rials and reports concerning our po
litical rats just now at I ncoln. I
want to say that it is with much
pleasure and satisfaction that I view
the bold , fearless and manly stand
you have taken in fighting those evils
which I find prevailing among ns to
such an alarming extent.
Such political acrobat } aa Church
Howe and his associates in politics ,
would corrupt the morals of the angel
Gabriel , if he had to aasociato with
them in politics. -hey were cnn-
ceived in EL , , born in iniquity , Bap
tized in rascality , and have practiced
It politically ever since.
Now , I assure you thifc you have
the hearty thanks and aympattr of
all good citizens that have tho-wolf are
of this new state and their homes at
heart. You are sure to get your rt-
. .ward , sooner or , later , for right.will
prevail.
I have no aspiration to become a
newspaper correspondent , but per
haps will open upon this subject
again In .the near future.

NASHVILLE , Tonn. , January 19 1
a. m. Ai Springfield special to The
B .inner says the evidence in the La
Prado murder case waa closed ycstjr
day , and the argument begun. Lou
Small , Bob Treat and Jim Higgins
endeavored to prove an alibi , but wore
not successful. The evidence discloses
the fact that it waa the plan of the
murderers to kill quite a number of
citizena in the neighborhood had they' '
not been thwarted. This explains
tha determination on the part of many
that the negroes shall die. Argument
in the case will close this evening ,
and the jury will 'return a verdict in
the morning. It is rumored that the
negroes say Sprlng6eld must protect
the prisoners , and refer to the mob
bing of a negro ut Clarkville , a year
or two after which the town was
burned , The threat is indirect , and
the truth of it is doubted , although
one of the city ofiicula professes to
have received such a warning through
a letter. It h thought that it the jury
convicts the murderers there will be
no trouble.
