der if it would not have been a (rood idea
if the Almighty had put some common
•ense in his professor's head. In his
speech the other day Mr. Wilson had il
lustrated the disparity of the tariff by
showing that a working girl could buy
the material for a cloak with one day’s
earnings. while it would take
three days for her to earn enough
to pay the tariff on her cloak. In contro
▼ersion of this. Mr. Dolliver asked who
were the best dressed women in the
United States, since they were on the
dress subject. “Why,” said Mr. Dolliver,
while a laugh went through the chamber,
“thev are the working girls and the
•ervant girls. And the working girls of
America are sending their money to their
■istors in Europe to enable them to get
away from the country where cloaks are
ao cheap.” [Laughter on the republican
aide.]
Mr. Dolliver took the position that the
remedy for the present depression is the
employment of our own people, not giv
ing it to those of other countries. The op
portunitv to work created the wage fund
on which the prosperity of our people de
pended.
In conclusion. Mr. Dolliver asked from
what section of the country had come the
Suggestion that the American working
man should take his stand on the level of
the civilisation,of the old world ? It came
from the plantations of the south. a

BARTER STIRS CP LAUGHTER.
Mr. Harter, dem., of Ohio, kept the
Rouse in a perpetual roar of laughter.
He gave expression to several axiomatic
Utterances, and had a collection of facts
And figures to support his views that
•arned him repeated applause. These ax
ioms reversed the commonly accepted
precepts and were of such a nature as
Cfaif: “The less the protection, the
higher the wages.'’ He stated that there
was a greater difference between the
wages of protected France and
free trade Great Britain in favor of the
*ttr, than there was between America
•sd Great Britain; and yet, in spite of
M proximity to France, England had
sew asked for protection. A protective
teiilT put down wages, and lowered their
purchasing power by putting up the prices
mt goods. Great Britain had a protective
tariff up to 1842, but since the advent of
free trade, the wages of brick layers,
terpeoters and similar mechanics had in
creased 78 per cent. The average of wages
fc.Great Britain had increased 8rt.60 un
der free trade, while in his own district,
tn Ohio, under a protective policy
for the last thirty years, there
were skilled workingman earning only
■135 a year. When George Dallas, of
Pennsylvania, was presiding officer of the
senate, and he had to cast the deciding
vote on the tariff bill then before con
gress, he had cast it for free trade, and
Immediately the chimneys of Pennsyl
vania had blazed up and lighted up the
night sky under which Mr. Dallas was be
ing burned in effigy for casting the decid
ing vote,
Mr. Harter had constantly to parry the
questions of the republican members of
the House, but be gave them thrust for
thrust and came out with flying color*.
APPETITE OS THE TREE LIST.
Mr. Broslus. rep., of Pennsylvania, was
the last speaker of the afternoon. He
told of an agricultural representative in
the House, who came to him saying that
he had found something in the hill which
tended to reconcile him to its provisions.
The farmers, he said, were always look
ing out for opportunities to market their
products, and he had discovered that au
opportunity was provided in the MU,
which placed appetite on the free list.
When the fanner had nothing else with
which to console himself, he could re
flect upon this concession of the
committee. The speaker stated in
answer to Mr. Harter’s plea for free
trade, that for twenty centuries the
manufacturing interests of every civi
lized land had been made the special
objects of governmental care and protec
tion. If that were not so, then history
had lied The Wilson hill, he paid, was
fairly liable to indictment upon the
charge of assault with intent to kill the
manufacturing industries of the United
States, the intent being inferred from
the nature of the weapons used. [Ap
plause od the republican side ] He ageeed
With Henry Watterson in the opinion
ihat because of the betrayal of the
trust reposed in it by the
introduction of this bill, the
Democratic party is marching through a
slaughter houae to an open grave. Charles
A.Dana, of the New York Sun, entertained
the same opinion, expressed in slightly
different form, and ihe editor of the lead
ing democratic paper of hi* (Mr. Bro
sius’) district were united with his two
distinguished associates.
Without completing his remarks, Mr.
Brosius gave way for & motion that
the committee rise, and at 5:25 p.m. a
recess was taken until 8 o’clock.
THE NIGHT SESSION.
Maguire, dem., of Colorado, was the
first speaker at the night session. He
arraigned the system of protection which
enabled one company to accumulate a
fortune of $200,IHH).000 in twenty-five
years, as Carnegie * Cos., are said to have
done. He Illustrated this gigantic for
tune by stating that if Pontius Pilate had
been drawing a salary of HOO.OhO a year
at the time of the crucifixion of Christ
and had continued to receive that
salary from that day to this, and
had been able to save every
penny of that salary, he would
still be many million dollars short of the
fortune accumulated by Carnegie & Cos.,
in twenty-five years. To illustrate the
failure of protection to raise the rate of
wages or steady the price of a product,
he showed that coal from the mines of
Pennsylvania, while it had a tariff pro
tection of 75 cents a ton, sold at $8 a ton
more than imported coal, although itcould
oompete in foreign markets with foreign
coal, and at the same rates. And when
the large mine owners wished to restrict
production they leased and closed small
mines and threw the laborers in those
mines out of employment, putting the
support of the unemployed miners on the
shoulders of the working miners.
Mr. Cockrell, dem., of Texas, took the
floor at 9 o’clock and spoke in defense of
the bill. At the conclusion of his speech
at 9:45 o’clock the House adjourned.

DANSY HANGED AT OCALA.
The Murder of Deputy Sheriff Bin
nicker Avenged.
The Murderer Alleges on the Gibbet
That He Only Meant to Wound the
Officer So as to Effect His Escape.
The Story of the Crime, the Flight
of the Murderer and His Final Cap
ture.
Ocala, Fla., Jan. 11. —Ed L. Dansy, a
mulatto, was hanged here to-day for the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Binnicker.
Quite a number of countrymen came in
early from the Blemington district,
Deputy Sheriff Binnicker’s old home,
where he was a great favorite, and a
sprinkling from the west end of the
county. Fully 500 persons surrounded the
enclosure and sought positions of vantage,
most of whom were negroes. Small boys
were decidedly on top, climbing
into trees and looking into the
enclosure and into the gallows. The re
ports sent out that if the hanging was not
public the county folks would tear down
the fence so that all could see, were not
verified. The crowd was orderly and
well behaved. Owing to the feeble phy
sical condition of the prisoner few could
hear what he said. lie also repeated his
words half a dozen times. Referring to
hit attorney, Wideman, about whom he
said before his hanging he would a tale
unfold like this: That he would simply
repeat what be had told the grand jury
and the court that tried him. the charge
being that Wideman had planned his
escape, and that his attorney shared in
the proceeds of his numerously forged
checks, for which he was originally Im
prisoned.
PREVIOUS HANGINOS.
Dansy’s execution makes the fifth in
Marion county since 1889. Then three
negroes were hanged for murdering
County Tax Collector Neal Furgeson. Six
months after the act they were arrested
and proven guilty. Another negro was
executed in July, 1887, for killing Capt.
Rube Starke, of Starke's Ferry.
Sheriff Hodge had printed ninety special
permits, seventy-six of which were used to
go inside the enclosure and upstairs in the
jail into rooms looking east, where the
spectators Could look down on the scaf
fold.
The scaffold on which Dansy was hung
was erected for Wiley Shingle, who shot
Dick Gillem in Tuckertowri, and whose
death sentence was commuted to life
imprisonment last April. The rope that
strangled Dansy was procured by Deputy
Binnicker to execute Shingle.
The dsors were opened at 11:25 o’clock
to admit newspaper reporters, and the
Ocala Rifles, numbering about thirty-five
men altogether.
Dansy appeared at 12:10 o’clock, led by
Father O'Riley, and ascended the steps to
the scaffold with a rather uneasy step,
but he regained his self possession when
placed on the trap by Deputy Sheriff
Nugen.
On the scaffold with Dansy were Father
O’RHey, Deputy Sheriff Nugen. Joe Mc-
Pherson and Will Harley, the stenog
rapher
Joe McPherson adjusted the cap
The death warrant was read by Sheriff
Hodge.
DAXST'S REMARKS .
Dansy’s remarks occupied twenty min
utes. He acknowledged the killing of
Deputy Binnicker. He said he did not
mean to kill him, but only wanted to
make his escape by wounding him He
said he owed a debt of gratitude to Sher
iff Hodge for bis Kind treatment during
the time he was confined in jail, and said
that had It not been for Sheriff Hodge he
would have been lynched. He also
thauked Jailer Smith, but thought Dep
uty Nugen did not treat him very well
while in jail, but he thought it was all
right now. He was prepared to die and
was not afraid. He asked the colored
people to take warning and not carry
uistoU. After saying that he be
lieved that he had had a fair and impar
tial trial, and thanking Attorney George
Badger for bia hard work in his behalf,
and making mention of his long acquaint
ance with Judge Hooker, he was asked
if he was through. He said he was, and
the black cap was then put on by Joe
McPherson.
The trigger was sprung at 12:16 o’clock
by Deputy Nugen.
Dansy was pronounced dead bv Drs.
Ixlar and Hood at 12:39 o’clock He was
eleven minutes dying. His neck was not
broken and he died of strangulation.
THE STOUT OF THE CRIME.
In August last Dansy. a bright mulatto,
came to Ocala and passed a forged check
on W. J. McGrath, securing a Jug of
whisky and SBO in money. He pretended
to live at Reddick, and by prompt work
he was intercepted on the train and ar
rested and sent to jail to await the meet
ing of the grand jury. While in jail he
heard of the presence in the city of J. VV.
Wideman, an attorney at Micanopy, who
on several occasions had befriended the
accused in a legal way. Dansy sent for
Wideman and induced him to visit
him, and engaged his services to
defend him for forging the check.
He told the attorney that ho
had secreted in the ground quite a sum of
money, and assured him it was in the
neighborhood of F’lemington. In a little
while after this the attorney visited
Sheriff Hodge and asked permission to
take Dansy with him to secure this
money, but the sheriff refused. Subse
quently Wideman renewed the request,
assuring the official that he was convinced
that Dansy had the money buried, and as
Wideman was in need, Dansy agreed to
let him have SIOO of the buried treasure
if he oould only get him out
to show where it was buried.
Wideman, with the sheriff's consent,
prevailed on Deputy Sheriff Biunacker
to go along to guard the pris
oner. On Sunday morning. Sept. 24, At
torney Wideman, Eld. L. Dansy, the
prisoner, and Deputy Sheriff" Ben
naoker departed for the place where
the money was said to be hidden.
When nearing Roddick, Dansy in
sisted that they should not pass
through that village as Hoyle Dansy,
one of Sheriff Hodge's county deputy
sheriffs, would be sure to see them, in
which case he would insist in going along.
A detour was made, and after getting
several miles west of Reddick, Dansy
said they were nearing the place. The
team was stopped, all alighted and the
search began The search was a long
and tedious one, but at length Dansy
said "Here is the spot,” locating it be
tween a stump and the body of a pine
tree. The deputy sheriff got down on his
hands and knees, and began to scratch
away the earth. Dansy standing iu front
Of him and the lawyer some ten steps dis
tant.
Binnacker's pistol, which was in a
holster in his hip pocket, was grabbed by
Dansy. In getting up the deputy
grabbed the pistol, but the holster pulled
off, leaving the pistol in Dans.v’s hands.
It was life or death with the negro, so
he shot Binnacker, the ball hitting him
in the belt and glancing towards his stom
ach. Dansy then started through the
woods, and when Wideman attempted to
follow he threatened to shoot him. Wido
man then turned to Binnacker, who was
attempting to get up, and assisted him to
the nearest residence, the home of Ma
rion county's school sujierintendent, M.
L. Payne. At first the wound was not
considered dangerous, but in a few'days
blood poison set in and Deputy Binnacker
died.
In the meanwhile the report of the
shooting spread, and tho people of the
Flemington district assembled and went
in search of Dansy. They tracked him

for several days and finally came near
Archer, and in a deep sink hole a horse
was seen. It was presumed he had hid
in the sink. Night was coming on, a fire
was built and finally Sheriff Hillary, of
Alachua county, who was the first to go
down into the sink and explore it. ascer
tained that the pursued was not there,
but had mysteriously’ disappeared. The
pursuing party was dumbfounded. Sher
iff Hillary returned to Gainesville, and on
his return home, knowing that Dansy’s
stepfather lived near Waldo, was confi
dent he had taken the Archer log train
for that place, as it left about dusk.
Subsequent events proved the correct
ness or Sheriff Hillary’s conclusions. At
Gainesville Sheriff Hillary telegraphed
his spotters at Waldo to look out for
Dansy.
The next day word came that he was
located. Sheriff Hillary and several de
puties repaired to the place indicated.
Tho cabin was reached, but the pursued
was not found, but it was soon discovered
the person sought for was concealed in
the thick foliage of the cane stalks. He
attempted to make his escape into a cy
press swamp bordering the cane patch,
but several well directed shoots, some of
which slightlv wounded Dansy. brought
him to bay. He was brought to Ocala,
but just as the train was
nearing the depot attempted to Jump out
ot the car window, and would have suc
ceeded, had he not been caught by the
leg and pulled back. An immense
crowd had congregrated to meet him, and
the opinion prevailed that they would
lynch him, but as no one volunteered to
lead, Dansy was hustled into a closed oar
riage by the officers of the law and quickly
driven to Jail. His trial took place Oct.
24. The jury convicted him of
murded in the first degree. During
the trial Dansy made a statement impli
cating Wideman. but the attorney con
vinced the grand jury that be was simply
acting as lawyer for the prisoner, and
had been imposed on by Dansy's state
ment. for it had become current report,
by some means, which those cognizant
of the fact could not fathom, that Dansy
had money buried.
After his conviction and death sentence,
Dansy appeared to have had a change of
heart. Father O’Reily was a constant at
tendant at the doomed prisoner’s cell, in
teresting him in his future life and spir
itual state, received his confession and
administered absolution. Dansy was, from
youth up. a bright and promising lad of
more than the ordinary intelligence found
in the members of his race. He could write
a good business hand, and was clever at
imitating.
