"A serious tragedy" fiendish out
rage" was perpctrated, Sunday. A party
of fifty men marched in double file through
the main street of a thriving city, and with
"revolvers, crowbars and large timbers" as
saulted the Jail, taking therefrom a
"tramp' accused of crime, brought him
into the court house yard, hung him to a
tree, and then "quietly dispersed" The
dispatch, giving the particulars of this
=" outrage" thus concludes 1t is not
known who the lynchers were, as they
were masked, and used such despatch in
the commission OF the deed that but twelve
minutes elapsed from the time they en-
tered the yard until the man was hanged.
There is no effort being made to punish the
perpetrators of this outrage, public senli-
ment being in favor of the lynching." This
"whte league" kukuxed with vengeance
and IN a hurry too but ''public sentiment
favors the deed and mo effort" is made TO
ferret out and punish the offenders A bad
state of affairs, surely, and these "ban-
ditti" ought to meet with terrible and
speedy doom. Here is a community favor
ing the escape of fifty murderers, and
making no effort to detect end punish these
red handed leaguers. Was not the lieu
tenant-ge'eral right in stlgmatizing these
men as "handitti' and demanding their out
lawry, and trial, condemnation and death
at the hands of a military court martial ?

that the "outra re" would have occurred
all the same if the democrats, or any other
party had been in the ascendancy, but cir
cumstauces do alter cases. What a pretty
story it would have made, coming from
Major Merrill. How we could have
gloated over the facts that fifty murderers
were at large, that no effort was made fol-
their detection and capture, that the whole
community sYmpathized with their crime
Notwithstanding their terrible crime and
inaction, we presume that the Urbanans
call themselves peaceful, law abiding peo

The winter DrOutli.

All over New England there is complaint
of genuine winter drouth. From all
quarters come reports of mills and shops
being forced by the lack of water to shut
down, wholly or in part, and of the neces-
ity for farmers to go to long distances for
water for their stock. The figures show
that at Lowell, Mass, only about One-third
as much rain and snow has fallen in the
last four months as the average for the
same months has been for the last forty
nine years, yet the lack of water is felt
there far less than in many other places.
At Hartford, Conn, it is announced, the
city will be put on half supply by the mid
die of this week unless the waste be
stopped. There has been no rain sufficient
to fill up the streams for six months, and
the consequence is that the country has
not been 80 dry for twenty-five years.
There is only four days supply at the West
Hartford reservoir, and the pumps can sup
ply only half the city. Already serious in
convenience is felt in the upper stories of
high buildings by tenants who depend upon
the city for water.

The programme for this week will be,

day. The Union has become social one,
the pastors with their wives are invited to
dinner together, and in this way very
much will be done to allay this strong de-

years before denominatonalism will rage
as 1t has for years past in Fairhaven.

tirely correct. But he has overlooked the
meaning Of my proposition. It is mos: true
that an irregularity Of depth does prevail.
1t is true. as all observers know by actua!
inspection Of small streams whose bottoms
may be seen, that there are shallow places
and deep places in them-that from time
to time changes take place in the
localities Of the deep and shallow places;
that where there was for period deep
place the deep place becomes shallow from
filling up. and where there was shallow
place it is washed out aud becomes deep
place. and so on always. To illustrate my
position. l say that at a given stage OF
water in any stream, if the depth Of tha:
stream is accurately measured through its
whole extent. sounding all the deep and
shallow places. and taking the average
depth resulting from all the soundings. that
same average depth will be found at the
same stage OF water ten years. Or twenty
years, or hundred years afterward, no
matter at all, in the meanwhile. how often
the shallow places may have become deep
and the deep ones shallow. and no matter
what the irregularities in depth may be.
There is. ia the legal sense. a prohibitory
law against making streams deepen their
channels. and hence nulli.y results from all
attempts 20 eontravene it. All attempts in
that direction by building levees has proved
futile and will continue TO do so. am
quite sure there is no increase of velocity
of current arising from the construction Of
levees, as advanced by my able opponent
and think could assign very good reasons
for my opinion adverse to his on that point:
but this communication is already longer
than intended 1t to be. and however that
question might be determined it would have
no important bearing against the grea. prin'
ciples and doctrines advocate in relation
to the subjects under discussion.
In conclusion. I will cay that the fac: OF
the occurrence of a surprising flood Of the
Mississippi in the year 1919 or 1880. which
spoke of in my previous article. may be
proved by testimony admissible only under
the strictest rules Of evidence in cour. Of
justice.
