And he gets down on his | knees and begins to examine Ills i wounds and straighten out his limbs to i j see if any of his bones are broken, and ; j says: "Sly dear, fellow, cheer up; you j j need have no more care about yourself, j for I am going t o take care of you.

Now the Samaritan has got thej wounded 'man on his feet, and with!much tuggiiug and iiftiug puts him on !; the beast, fpr it is astonishing how j strong the spirit of kindness will make j: one. as you have seen a mother after I ; three weeks of sleepless watching of j J her boy. down with scarlet fever, lilt j: that, hAlf erotOn bow heavier than her-! i seif, from couch to lounge.

"You feel better now, I think," | says the Samaritan to the Hebrew, j "Yes," he says, "I do feel better." < "Halloo, you landlord! help me carry j. this man in and make him comfort-iJ able."

The victim oi' the outrage was the 10ycar-oid daughter of one of Macon's most highly res*pf-cted citizens, a beautiful young debutante, highly educated and accomplished and a favori'e in society. The home of iier parents is in the suburbs oi" the. city, two miles form the Central railway station, but on the electric car line.

Her parents finding she had not. ar-j rived on the train they met, drove home,} suspecting nothing wrong. Meantime rhe young lady had alighted from the tram at. the d?-pot on the opposite side of t lie town, and was surprised and he-; wiiilered at not being met by some member of th<i family. She sought the | i-;id of a police ollicer, who advised her I to go to some hotel for the night. She insisted, however on being taki-n home, j She ha'! been away i'or the summer and I was in a fever of expectancy at the | prospect 01 meeting' her loved ones ;i?;:in. On hrr insistence th" policeman called a cab driver by the name of Will Singleton, and assisting the young lailv in. gave the driver his directions. The negro drove away with his fare, I but instead of taking a direct route to her father's house he. drove her by a | ;lark and unfrequented road, v hichled [ through a grove deserted at night. Here, suddenly stopping his carriage, lie turned upon the heretofore unsuspecting1 ?irl and before she could even j o Imri flinlruf? -mil < 1 rs<rcru,\ I tier from the carriage and proceeded to execute lib foui purpose. The brute treated his victim with [ihoulish cruelty, tearing her garments itnd bruising and maltreating .ier most shamefully. Having gratified his brutal passions, he put her in the carriage iiutl drove her within a hundred yards i)f her father's door, when he rudely pushed her out, and. telling ht r that if she breathed a word of what had happened he would kill her, drow rapidly ii way. The poor girl Managed to struggle to the house, and when inside to tell her horrified family the dreadful story.

The rapist disappeared and was not heard of again until yesterday in EuL'aula, Ala. lie was taken from the train a few miles from Mac:m by an armed party, and to-night was carried to the woods where the crime was committed and swung to a tree. The brute had previously bt-en identified both by his victim and by a policeman who knew him, and the crowd did the work with the feeling tin t a good Seed was being done.

There is a ! great deal of force in what Mr. Wright I , , t _ j says, anil, sooner cr iaicr me evns co:nj plained of must be remedied or there j vrili be revolution. That this government io now ran in the interest o; the j ffignnLic monopolies scattered throughout the land, not only to the detriment of the farmer, but to every man in it I ...l... :.,i i-_.. I.:, i .1 - \w:u iicio ou jviUoi ioi iii? L>U thoughtful man \rill deny. The farmers can remedy the evil iC tiiey will arise in their rower, north, east, west and south, ;ftid see to it thit no man goes to Congress v-ho is in favor of these monopolies. Here is rrha;, Mr. Wright says: It is a false assertion that the farmers say, "No man snail hold office except farmers"?'"false as hell!"' Demagogues, sly usurers, vriio desire to keep up the present system, all "liars, who 'shall-have their portions with hypocrites and unbelievers," say it?nobody else. Farmers say,*$qd their true friends say, no man shall'hereafter hold office (if they can heiigit) who does not pay inory respect tSLtheir rights and the rights of the wiggirtng classes than has been paid to thqrajsfuce the war. They say tharnionopolies created by the power of the monpy class through the government, has manifestly gotten all or their honest toii and other laborers, in tint last quarter of a century. | That, while they are not starving, as they are in Europe, yet they have few comforts .\nd fewer luxuries; that while thev ought to have z. surplus, their j lands are almost universally mortgaged i to boniholding usurers at luinous rates j of interest; that while statistics show the profits of labor do not. excee:J three per cent, they pay from eight to twenty to keep oft the otlicers of the law. They say?their brother laborers say?"this thing shall have an end; that! leath is preferable to the degraded life j capital proposes labor." Labor does j not force the issue, capital forces it. Let it come, and God grant victory to > the right! The farmers would not ask loans; from the government if the government was not engaged in the business j of lending, and has been for more than j a quarter 01 a century, wu.-ioui. j.i- ; terest. And to whom does it lend? To ! the rich only. "Hear, oh heaven, give ear, oh earth ?" To the rich only. And what for? To lend to the working classes at rates of interest the devil would blush to own. Money never blushes, it wants more. The farmers want to borrow money to pay their debts. These rich fellows want it to shave with. Oh! but these rich fellows can secure their debts by depositing their bonds with the government. The working classes have not got any bonds. True, but what gives credit to the bonds? Who pays the interest on the bonds? Who pays the bonds thsmselves finally ? Po not the sons of toil ? Government lends to the rich class to lend again. Why not lend to the workins: class to pay their debts?yes, to save from the hammer their home-j steads, around whit h cluster all the! noble emotions of wife and children and home. Are bonds more secure at nearly whole value, than homesteads at half value? It is nonsense to talk about the greater security of the bonds. Why not loan on real estate, and why not give to its oivners the right to "bank also ? Xo man living can give a reason except that it would cheapen the rate of interest and stop the enormous profits of this oppressive and detestable monopoly, which has already pretty well absorbed the wealth of the whole country. The government not only lends to the rich only, but it exempts their property (the bonds) l'rom taxation, iionds create no wealth; lands are the foundation of all wealth. Bonds in their interest quality, weigh like lead upon the whole people. If anything ought to be exempt from taxation it is land engaged in productive industry. Give farmers, as a class, the same rights which are given to bondhoU'ing bankers. and, instead of mourning and want and woe, our beloved land from Maine to Louisiana, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, would surpass Eden in plenty, beauty and glory. God h?;s given to us a beautiful world, and to the Americans the loveliest of all lands, and the freest of ail governments. Covetousness, controlling government, if not arrested, will make it, as it has in Europe, th^ enamel house of j misery and the gravuyard of lai<or. More anou (when the true Democracy j g-.-trf out its candidates) of the question to whom to lend money and who should make the whiskey? if any is made, and on bounties to l>eet roots and sugar cane, and pensions to second widows of soldiers who "fought, bled and died to save the country."

Pedro Xatal, was identified by (Jiiicer Lannagan as one of the men he saw running away from the scene of the murder. There is no longer room for doubt that the murder cf Chief Ilennessy was the deliberately planned work of an organized band'of Italians. The crime is the latest in a series of crimes which have caused many deaths. In June a ( ung of Itaiian bravos lay in wait at midnight fur another party of Italians, Idatrangas. who had offended them in some way or other, and riddled the entire party with bullets. The authori- ( ties determined to put an end to this vendetta business, which has resulted-in forty or more murders and assassina- ??^ lions, and vigeroas efforts were made to track and capture the criminals. Six men were arrested for the crime and tried. During the trial one of the principal witnesses .an Italian,was assassinates. " The trial resulted in a conviction, but there was so much perjury that the .1 udgc- granted a new trial, which is yet to come off Chief of Police Hennessy, who was a witness in the first case, set-to work to collect all the evidence about the3iana, the stopaliagieri and other Italian assassination societies, and about the numer-' ous vendettas and murders committed by them. As there is a feud between tiie Italians growing out of the Matianaga affair, he found it possible to secure ample evidence of the most sensational character, and he promised such developments as would break up the vendetta in Xew Orleans forever, fenhessy well understood the risk he was running. He was a man of course and fearlessness, but he deemed it prudent, from tiie many threats he received, to guard himself, and never went Wiinout one or more ouieers as . :seort. Unfortunately, he dismissed his :x;uy guard a .few days ago, either believing that he could protect himself or chat the threats amounted to nothing. The assassins evidently knew this, and made their preparations for revenge.
