They have, says the Baltimore Gazette, a
singular disrespect for law in the town of
Newport KY, just opposite Cincinnaa =
Last winter mob took a man charged with
crime out 81 Jail and hanged him % q tree:
Since that time the mob seems to have made
up It's mind ID administer law in that Iocali-
ty. Last week Cincinnati girl, named
Hoff, whohad been betrayed by worthless
chap named Scheurer, went over TO New
port with her brother and visited Scheurer
az his home. After some conversation the
woman took out pistol and killed her af-
fectionate friend dead in his shoes. On Mon
day the trial of the woman was had before
magistrate The sympathies of the mob
were naturally with the woman. They
crowded the courtroom ,jibed the magistrate,
Kissed the county attorney and cheered the
attorney for the defense. Finally the repre-
sentative of the State, seeing the utter folly
of attempting to do anything in the face of
such sentiment, entered nOlIe, and the wo-
man who did the killing and her brother,
who was an accomplice, were set at liberty.
Men jumped upon the benches, chairs and
tables, threw their hats into the air and cried
and hallooed until they were hoarse, gave
three cheers for the acquitted woman, three
for the court, for each of the attorneys and
then surged out to make the courtyard ring
again and again with their shouts. Mean
while large crowd had gathered about Miss
Hoff, the weeping mother chung about her
neck, while sisters and brothers kissed her
cheeks. The county attorney, it is said,
will swear out another warrant for the ar
rest of the accused and attempt to carry the
case before the Grand Jury but the proba-
bility is very strong that no further steps
will ever be taken. That Scheurer was a
brute and richly deserved his fate can hard
ly be doubted, but no community can safely
manifest their disregard for law and the forms
of justice That melo-dramatic incident
Of crime should excite people to the degree
of overriding law is always misfortune
The best plan is always to go through the
forms prescribed by law.

The U. S. Government has been. dispos-
ing of millions of acres of land every year,
and has yet millions more TO sell; but it evil
IDENTIFY does not know how TO make any
money at the business. Last year 1881 1893
acres of land were disposed of for cash under
the homestead and timber culture law; and,
after deducting expenses in connection with
the public land office, the amount realized
was $Sss, 1915, a little over nine cents per acre.
While the government is selling arabic lands
in Western states at $2,25 an acre, which is
readily resold in one and two years at 80 to
$15 per acre, 1t would seem as though the
government ought to net more than four per
cent of its price.

THE SINKING OF THE SHENANDoAH-A
Sketch Of Her Career.-A cable dispatch has
announced the sinking in the Indian ocean
of the former Confederate cruiser .Shenan-
doah and the drowning of most of her crew.
Attic time other sinking the Shenandoah
belonged to the Sultan of Zanzibar. The
Shenandoah was built at Glasgow in 1868
by London company for the China trade,
under the name Of the Sea King She was
sold in 1864 to an agent of the Confederate
government and sailed for Bombay. At Ma
deira she met steamer from London having
on board the battery and munitions of war
vice by Capt. Jas. Iredell Waddell. These
were hastily transferred to the Sea King, the
rebel flag was hoisted, and the vessel was
rechristened the Shenandoah. Capt. Wad-
dell, after effecting several captures, proceed
ed to Melbourne, Australia, where the Shen-
andoah was detained for twenty odd days
for repairs. This was the only port visited
in long cruise of thirteen months. During
this cruise the vessel was actively in service
only eight months of the thirteen, but during
that time Waddell made thirty eight cap
lures, valued at $8,0O0,0O0. He destroyed
thirty-two vessels and released six on bond.
The Shenandoah continued her prey upon
commerce until six months after the APP
pomattox surrender, Capt. Waddell not
knowing how affairs were going on at home.
He was informed of the collapse of the Con-
federacy while in Asiatic waters, and sailed
for Liverpool. On the 9th of November,
1866, the Shenandoah arrived at Liverpool
with crew Of one hundred and thirty
three men. She was given up by her COM
mander to the British authorities at Liver
pool, and her officers and crew suffered to
depart November IS the vessel, with her
stores and equipments, was delivered up by
the senior naval officer at Liverpool to the
United States consul at that port. The YES
sci was subject of long diplomatic cores
pondence between the British government
and the State Department at Washington,
and also brought before the Geneva con-
vention, and the convention decided that
the British government was not chargeable
with failure in the use of due vigilance to
fulfill the duties Of neutrality for anything
she did anterior to her entry in the port to
Melbourne, but was responsible for all acts
committed after her departure from Mel
bourne, February, 18, 1865.

Washington correspondents telegraph that
Colonel Belger, who was chief quartermas-
ter at Baltimore during the first years of the
war, is to bring his case before Congress
again. 1t will aforementioned that in 1868
the scandals which had previously been rife
about his administration of his Office caused
a military investigation that resulted in ac-
quitting him. Secretary Sherman, however,
was not satisfied, and removed him from the
service. After the war Congress restored
Col. Belger, but the restoration was made
to take effect only from the date of the pas
sage of the act. Now he will ask that the
restoration be carried back SO as TO cover
the seven years of his suspension from the
army, and thus include the pay and allow
ances for that period. Ifithad not been for
Mr.. Stanton's action Colonel Belger would
now be the Oldest quartermaster in the SER
vice. While stationed at Baltimore he had
tremendous contracts ON his hands, and the
scandals of those days were among the most
exciting of war incidents That Col. Belger
and his friend Gen. Schenck, at the same
place, had fat time of it no one will deny.
How much he appropriated" no man can
tell. The latter went to England to give
lessons in "poker" playing, and the former
gentleman vas relegated to
private life. fin the future his case should
come up before Democratic Congress, it is
to be hoped they will strip him of the insig-
MIA of war and let him make living by his
own legitimate misunderstanding wood, or

SENATOR BAyARD ON THE SoUTH.--In a
recent interview with representative of the
Philadelphia Times Senator Bayard was
induced TO give his views on public affairs
He made the following reference to the needs
of the South:
"The South does not need legislation the
South needs sympathy and respect In my
judgment what they need is a realizing sense
that they are safely and securely within the
Union, bound up in its destinies, in which
they are to share the blessings as well as the
burdens; but that they are not to be in the
Union except upon terms thoroughly consist
ent with their self-respect. Everything is
gained by appealing to all that is higher and
better among them, and to cease this spirit
of domination and constant expressions of
self-conscious superiority, sending men
down there TO see that the trials are conduct
ed as they think they ought to be, telling
them they are on trial, and all that sort of
thing. No such spirit ought TO exist, and
l would not treat this Union as an ex-
WOuiu ticStt ~ Us u liAcu lttCJ
that they are in the Union and are going to
stay there; that thay are going to be part of
our nani,le and part of the governments, and
not only expect them to sustain and help it,
but make that part of the country source of
strength to the whole. want the people
of the South to feel that they are respected
and essential portion of this Union, and
they cannot be anything else. Now, in
order to do that we must make their position
in the Union one of honor in the first place,
and then If they fall away from that it must
be their own disgrace; but the honorable
recognition must precede the other, and that
they have not had yet at the hands of the
Republican party The people of the North
ern States, whose representatives want to
make a solid North, If they are wise
must see that the South must be to
them one of two things-a source of
weakness or strength but their present
course and their present feeling is calculated
to make the South second Ireland"

II Is generally conceded that the Grant
movement in Chicago lacked spontaneity,
and had every appearance of having been
carefully and deliberately worked up. Many
citizens of all parties, including numerous
wealthy firms, refused to contribute dollar
toward defraying the expense of the show,
because they were opposed to a third term,
and believed the entire performance rested
on political basis.

Mr.. Gilillan, United States Treasurer,
calls attention to the fact that the relations
between government receipts and expenses
show that the entire balance held by the
treasury will soon be meta lie, and that
before long it will be held entirely in silver.
Not only do the laws which regulate the
character of the circulating medium in which
the receipts and expenditures are made point
in this direction, but the unwillingness Of the
people to absorb the silver coined and Of the
banks to accept balances due them in either
gold or silver, make this result certain
The fact has an important bearing upon the
financial policy of the country.
