Some seem to tliiuk a good deal of
sectarianism exists in Homer, but the
.Journal sums it up to be more of a
'•bread and meat sectaiiaubm,” than
anything elm with some of them. Le'

soon see that the whole concjin will
skin him' Jor the last nickel he’s got.
Do they road the Bible? oh, yes' Th v
go to church, too. If an one doubts
this, come and test it; he’ll find where
tbe sectarianism lies.
John Morris.
It is the opinion of a number
with reference to the killing of Ben
Willis, that John Morris has acted
unwisely in not giving himselfup.
There is no testimony in the case
that can convict hirn as a conspira
tor in the killing of Willis. While
ho may have had Bob’s pistol at
the time Bob took it away from
him, this, within itself, show noth
ing mors than that he held it as a
peace-maker. After Willis and
Bob Morris had had a fair fight and
John Morris, Jim Willis, Charlie
Wilson and Crenshaw sepjr-,
ated them, why did Bob Morris
call his brother John out ot ihe
cro.vd to get a pistol that belong
to him (Bob?) Why did Bob not
demand his pistol there arid then,
from John? Because he knew John
wouldn’t give, it to him without a
scuffle with him (John,) and was
afraid, that, in ibis scuffle, his vic
tim, Bon Willis, would take hold
of him again. So he called John
aside, and si brother’s love for a
brother, is ready at any calling—
what may the circumstances or sur
rounding, and John went with him.
Who knows Ihe pleading that may
have fell from John’s lips in behalf
of Bet) Willis, or a brother’s be
trayal that Bob may have play&d,
before John gave up ibe pistol ut
il was snatched fro in him? The fact
that, after the kiiliug, Bob threat
i ened to shoot the whole crowd, and
| the whole crowd with John Morris
I with them, ran, and John pleading
b tek to Bob as he ran, “-don’t shoot,
don’t shoot, Bob!” sho .vs that John
Morris was, h i mself, afraid of bei tig
shot, auji did not approve ot the
killing. The 'act, that John Mor
ris was (he last to leave the dead
man and go with the dead man's
brother, Jim Wiilis, to Mr. ltay
mond Emmett's and report, the
killing, i'lustra es his innocence
more clearly.
The grand jury did John Morris
a great injustice, when 1 bey recuni
mended that. Gov. Gordon “offer a
suitable reward for the arrest of
John and Bob Morris for the mur
der of Ben F. Willis.”
The Journal would have publish
ed this article the same weak, but,
af er reading the actio a of the grand
jury, it awaited further investiga
tiou, and until now, it gives public
sentiment and feeling toward John
Morris, and tbe best tiling he can
do is to give himself up. Because
ihere is going to be a reward offer
ed soon fur bis at rest, and it wi i put
him in a very uncalled f r anl danger
ons portidon. Hie ilea f>.r hiding ont
can be prompted thr ugh nothing more
than a feeling of snare: “My brother
did the killing tdJ I w is with him A
Th* Journal has no sides in the mat

Castes of India.
Caste prejudice enters in*o ev
erything in India, Writes Frank
G. Carpenter. It forces the foreign
ers 1o keep a dozen servants lo do
Ihe work of tbe household, and I
am told that it isalmost impossible
for a family to get along with less
than 13 servants. I met last week
vn English preacher, who had an
income of $1,500 a year, and ho
told me that it was absolutely im
possible for him lo live in lndi
without tiiicteen servants. Said
lie: “TLey are paid low wages, but
Ihere are so many of them that tho
sum total is large. You have to
have a man for everything you
want done, and lie will do nothing
else than that one thing. The man
who washes dishes will Hot make
up the beds, and the cook will not
attend to the washing of the dishes.
Il you keep horses you must have
a groom for every horse, and for ev
ery two horses you have to keep a
man to cut grass for them. The
woman servant, who waits upon
your wife, does not consider il her
business to wait upon you, and the
servants who do the other work
abeut the house, expect you to have
a body servant to run your own er
rand?. If you ask a man to do any
thing out of his regular business,,
be says it is contrary to hi? caste, and
you then know that yea *have to sub
mit. Theie are hundreds of castes in
India. They are based on religions
differences, on sraae armngeuienls, and
on social distiuc ions. There are a caste
of barbers, of beggirs, of thieves mid
of water carriers. There are the Baa
mine, the Sudras, ths cow-skinners,
the rorpse-bearois and dozens of others
divided and sub divided, until only
the Hiudoo ean tell you their nnnrp-ei
anl dilierei-oe?. [Dcmorest’s Maga
