Continues to Pour in Upon Gov

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 28.—Once
more the avalanche of letters an
petitions is pouring in from the
North for the saving of the ne
gro, Earl Gilchrist, under sen
tence of death for the murder of
another negro. The St. Paul
Daily News and the State Jour
nal of Indianapolis are among
the most active agents of sympa
thy,and almost daily forwards tc
the governor’s office great
sheafs of the printed petitions
for clemency.
Differing from anything «lse
received among the 25,000 since
it started is the letter from
George T. Folsom of St. Paul,
Minn., who says: “This little
note is to say that there is at

j Another plea for clemency
came from Mrs. Agnes Freder

who signed themselves as Sioux
Indians, of Greenwood, S. D.
: They write: “It was a lash act
of a mere boy. We don’t see
why he should be hanged, when
there are grown men that do
worse acts and are saved from
the gallows. The color makes
no-difference. We will beg you
to save the boy’s life. It is not

Hinemon Home From Canadian
Trip Says Treaty Would
Have Benefitted South.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 28.—Hon.
John H. Hinemon, of Arkadel
phia,late president of Henderson
Brown College,has returned from
an interesting trip through Can
ada. In discussing his observa
tions of the Dominion, he said:
“I am more than ever impressed
with the belief that reciprocity
would have been of great bene
fit to the United States, especial
ly the South. For instance, the
great wheat fields of Canada,
their trade in hides, etc., would
have given us cheaper flour,
cheaper leather for harness,
shoes, etc.
“The low prices of many pro
ducts here, as compared with our
home prices make me wish I
could ‘lay in a supply' to take
home with me. But as I cross
the line the revenue officers will
ask me questions and even look
v. • • __
into my suit case and hand-bag
lest perchance I might get
something cheap and carry it
home without paying duty. Tru
ly, as Mr. Cleveland said: "The
tariff is a tax.”
