TIE INDIANA LYEC sING.

The lynching of the murderer Redman
a. Evansville, Indiana, appears to have
been very discreditable affair. The crime
which Redman had committed was no
doubt singularly atrocious, but that was
n justification for the action of the mob.
Evansville is well settled, presumably
sober and quiet place, where ali the ma.
chinery of Government is in full working
order, and where the administration of
justice by the Courts can be counted upon.
Under such circumstances the organization
of lawless band for the express purpose
of superseding the Courts must be regarded
as indicating tendency towards barbarism
which is not 1t all to the credit OF the peo-
pie about Evansville. Civilized men learn
TO control themselves at such times. They
know that the Government can be trusted
to avenge crime in due course, and they do
not think of interfering with the process of
the law. On the frontiers, where there is
very little respect for the law, and very
little real civilization, it sometimes be.
comes necessary for the better part of q
community to rise up and reduce to SUBJ
jugation the more violent and criminal
elements. Bat Evansville, Indiana, has
no excuse of that kind for lawlessness.
Her people can only be supposed to have
committed this murder through an impa-
thence which is clearly an evidence of want
of civilization. There is no defense for such
an outburst, and the occurrence of similar
deeds justifies suspicion that in many
parts of the country what passes for civil
ization is really a very thin venecring,
which it would not take much to cause to
relapse into barbarism.

ANOTHER SOUTHERN HuMBUG

Another Southern yarn of the fimsiest
character comes from Lee county, Alabama,
to the effect that the white people there
are in mortal fear of a negro uprising, and
that families are fleeing TO save themselves
from the wrath to come. We know we'll
enough what this kind Of story means 1t
means thai the white ruffians and black.
guards of Lee county, Alabama, have de-
termined to perpstrate some outrage upon
the negroes, and that in accordance with
toe policy of their favorite model, the wolf
in the fable, they are paving the way to this
outrage by pretending that they fear a
negro uprising. The pretense, however, is a
lie upon its face. The negroes down South
have never risen upon the whites. When
ever any disturbance has occurred it has
been the whites who have risen upon the
negroes. At present the whites of Lee
county, Alabama, desire to prevent the ne.
groes from voting. We have no doubt that
this is the truth of the situation, and the
next thing that is heard will be a cock and
bull story to the effect that it has been
found necessary TO seize, perhaps to hang
or shoot, certain alleged ringleaders of the
negroes. These alleged ringleaders are the
shrewd negro leaders and politicians, who
can be got rid of in no other way. The
people of Lse county, Alabama, and in fact
of the Southern States generally, are re-
curing too fast to their old bulldozing prsc.
tees. They will fad in the end that the
policy of violence does not pay.

ME- DOYLE ACCEPTS. BUT WITH A
PRovIso.

Mr.. John I. Doyle he's written curious
letter accepting the nomination of the So
called Farmers Convention for Railroad
Commissioner, but declining to take the
cast-iron pledge which that Convention
directed to be administered to the candi-
dates for the Office. In an ordinary case
Mr.. Doyle's refusal to take the pledge to
reduce fares and freights 20 per cent.
within twenty days after taking Office,
would of course disqualify him for the
nomination. Even as it is, there exists no
authority anywhere to exempt him from
the pledge. But as Harrison and himself
constitute the San Francisco wing of the
party, OF course this can be arranged.
THERE'S, however, one embarrassment about
it. To allow Mr.. Doyle to accept the
nomination while refusing the pledge, is to
render necessary the same modification in
the case of Messrs. Reed and Foote.
As regards the latter, Mr.. Doyle's
refusal to accept the pledge places
him IN peculiarly disagreeable position.
For he has volunteered'a precisely similar
pledge, and since Mr.. Doyle clearly i'm.
plies that nobody but dishonest dema-
gogue could take such pledge, he appears
to be administering a singing rebuke to
the Alameda candidate. MIR. Doyle, how
ever, evidently is beginning to remember
his former experience rs Railroad Commits
soner. As we have pointed ont, the most
remarkable fact about his career is the
radical difference between his action and
utterances in public and private positions.
When he was Railroad Commissioner he
was able to see clearly the folly and i'm
practibility of the snti-railroad views which
he has latterly been affecting. Now
that he is about to become candidate
again he obviously feels the old spirit re-
turning upon him, and he proposes to
guard against all embarrassing promises.
He realizes that should he be elected he
would at once see the error of his ways,
and come under the influence of rational
considerations, as of old. Mr. Doyle mani
tests much judgment in this, and we are
glad to note in him such signs of epent-
ance and disposition to do better here
after,

perance element, and they did offend the
