IYNCH LIE IN IOV1.

The recurrence OF lynchiug in Iowa -One OF
the most prosperous, most orderly and best
educated States In the VESTS n strange cir
cumstauce 1t is only n little more than u
month since the Barber brothers were taken
out of Jail at Waverly, in the eastern and
thicklY settled portion of the State, and hanged
by mob; and now Hardy, who is known as
the Polk City murderer, from the place at
which his crime was committed has met the
same fate in Shelby County, Ill Western Iowa.
In both cases the mob showed great determine
ton, persistence and brutality. AT Wayerly,
after the outer doors OF the jail had been
forced Open it took two hours battering with
slcdge- hammers and picks to break down the
two remaining doors That stood between the
mob and the prisoners. AS thoy were taken
out one of them was fairly dragged down the
stairway. Hardy narrOalY escaped lynclling
nt the time he was captured a few days ago.
Tie capture was teal hunt. Five hundred
armed mon surrounded the long grove in which
Hardy and his fellow-murdercr were con-
cealcd, ard closed in, firing AS they moved.
Hardy was taken unhurt, the other, who was
by his own confession the principal, dying of
his wounds. Two votes were taken on the
subject of hanging Hardy at once, and as the
crowd was about equally divided the officers Of
the law were permitted to take him. Now,
however, he has been hanged by another mob
-riddled with bullets, and his body flung into
the water.
These things are felt to be especially dis
graceful to that section OF the country, because
they have been almost unknown there, and
because they are 80 repugnant to the ideas that
control the people. Iowa has every element of
a peaceful and happy civilization. 1t is noted
for the peculiar healthfulness of its climate,
the fertility of its soil, its general prosperity,
its intelligence, the diffusion Of education.
The appearance OF Judge Lynch in such com
munity is utterly unnatural There are Sec
tions of the country where it might not seem
so-on the frontier or in the mining regions,
where, in the absence of courts, men some
times take justice into their own hands. or in
the South, where, as the most thoughtful men
freely admit. violence is painfully common
But in Iowa, with its -, public schools!
Such an offence against the good morals and
the reputation of State ought not to pass un
noticed. 1t is not easy to punish a mob, and
the same element that joined in a lynching
will make a sentiment to justify It, But the
rule of law must be sustained. The author
tiles owe it to themselves TO make an attempt
TO punish the rngleaders, at least, Of those
who in assuming to punish murder have

material reductions In tolls on the basis OF In
creasing dividends. They also provided for
the construction of new canal, by which rapid
transit Houd be Afforded across the isthmus.
They considered these to be important conces-
sions drawn from monopolist who was under
no obligation to do anything. If they had
taken more pains to inform themselves re-
specting the real state of public feeling re-
specting the Suez Canal, they would have found
that any contract they might make with the
company would be condemned by the ship
owners and merchants as hard bargain.
What the commercial public in England wants
is rival canal by which the extortionate tolls
and pilotage fees demanded by the present
company can be scaled down to the lowest
level 1t is sorelY disappointed and deeply ir-
ritated when it is told that British canal can
not be built and that tolls cannot be largely re-
duced until the dividends, already enormous,
have gone still higher. 1t will welcome the
assurance given by the Conservatives that NJ.
De Lesseps does not have a monopoly of the
isthmus. aud that a British canal is neither IL
legal nor impracticable.
English shipowners and merchants do not as
sumo to understand questions of international
law. They do not discuss either the diplo-
matte or the political aspects of the contro-
versy. They take practical view of the canal
question. They think it strange that Gov
eminent which owns in its proprietary right Az
per cent of the company's stock should not
have larger shareiin the management. They
are indignant that nation that contributes 81
per cent of the revenue of the canal, and is NOM
inally in possession of the country through
which it passes, should be at the mercy OF q
foreign corporation. They fail to understand
why S4O, 900, 900 should be lent on easy terms
to monopolist who has already made an
enormous fortune at the expense or British
shipowners. They consider the costly Egyp-
tan campaign o poor investment If EDghsh
commerce cannot be released from bondage to
a foreign corporation. They have no wish to
exaggerate the rights of conquest, but look
upon the military occupation of Egypt as
sufficient warrant for the protection of English
interests In opposition to French mOnoDolists.
If the Government have 100000 to lend,
they think it should be- intrusted 10 an English
corporation rather than foreign company that
will not so much as open an Office In London.
The Conservatives will find wide area OF dis
content and prejudice in the commercial COM
munity which can be easily worked" in
political sense. Apparently they are bent upon
improyiug their opportunity.

A FOREIGN VISITOR.

At this time of the year we look for the an
nual Englshman, who has taken to visiting the
States as regularly as he used 10 bestow himself
upon Brighton and the Jungfrau, and who
brings with him, across the Atlantic, the same
easy manners and adaptability to foreign GUS
toms by which he has long captiI ated the Con-
tinent. There is one variety of tourist who
makes himself welcome in our hest society,
who is Hospitality entertained, who sees what
ever is most truly worth seeing in America,
who Icing an accomplished aud intelligent
rnan, OF the worlS forms pretty fair iudg-
ment of the country. and is not at all surprised
TO discover that the ways and thoughts of
gentefoiks are substantially alike on both
sides of the ocean. There is another sort of
Englishman, not 80 often seen In our homes,
but pervading our hotels, railway cars and
steamboats, in the summer season, whom it is
difficult to account for. He looks like a gentle
man but he is rude. with that most insufler-
able rudeness which comes not from ignorance
but from assumption. Nobody who has stud
led the English at home will call them an I'M
mannerly people, Nobody who observes them
abroad eau well call them anything else.
The traveller of the type we are describing
arrives. of course, in "a Cunard steamer he
was born with the persuasion that all other
modes of ocean conveyance are beastly. He

THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

The near approach of the nominating season
induces us to make a remark or two for the
consideration of what is known distinctvely
as the Prohibition element in NewYOIk poll
tics Last fall Prohibition candidates for the
Assembly were run in many of the counties,
with no other practical effect than to defeat
several worthy Republican candidates. The
Democrats carried the Assembly, and the
result, as predicted, was the passage of bill
amending the excise law in the interest of free
rum. 1t will not be denied that if the Repub-
licans had controlled the Legislature the ex-
else law would not have been weakened
What do the Prohibitionsts purpose to do
this fall 7 AS practical men they should heed
the lesson of last winter and decline to place
tickets in the field. Three considerations, as
it seems to us, unite 70 commend that policy to
their iudgment-they cannot elect Prohibition
candidates, they can possibly throw the AS
sembly into the hands of the Democracy by
nominating Prohibition candidates and thus
making inroads upon Republican strength,
and Democratic Assembly means the cold
shoulder for temperance, to say nothing about
prohibition. 1t may be said that the Republi-
cans of New-York have never taken the stand
which the Prohibitionists have desired them
to take. 1t is true that they have not gone to
extremes. But it is equally true that they have
been quick to respond 10 public sentiment on
this question, and that whatever gain has ac-
crued to the cause of temperance in this State,
80 far as political parties are concerned, is to
be placed to their credit. Every one familiar
with legislation at Albany during the past ten
years is aware that the Republicans have stood
up manfully in opposition to all attempts to
strengthen The power of the rum interest.
Time and again when they have been in the
majority in the Legislature during that period
the pressure brought to bear upon them to let
down the bars and give rum better chance
has been enormous aud unremitting from the
beginning to the end of the session. But they
have not yielded
We submit, therefore, to our Prohibition
friends that it is their policy, that it is their
duty to advance the interests of the Repub-
lican party. 1t may not come up to all their
wishes, but neither will it make shlpwreck of
what they have already accomplished. De-
mocracy, OIL the other hand, is to-day the right
ar,u Of the rum power, even as before the war
it was the right arm of slavery. Choose be-
tween the two.

ANTLMONOPOLY IN ENGLAND.

The English Conservatives are eDlarging
their stock of political issues to meet the de-
mands Of the next general election. The Brad
laugh episode gives them IN easy mode of or
gapizing the elements of religious intolerance
in the country, and they have suddenly discov
cred that there is another class whose preju-
dices can be excited by popular appeals. This
is the commercial class, whose hostility to the
Suez Canal Company is now apparent. In
consequence of the high tolls and exorbitant
fees for pilotage, and also of constant blocks
and exssperating delays in transit, NJ. De Les
seps has come to be regarded by the mercantile
community as the evil genius OF England.
The meetings held throughout the country in
opposition to the Governments agreement
with the company have given expression To this
feeling, aud the Conservatives are rDiiting by
the revelation. Sir Stafford NorthcOte has
giyen notice of an address to the Queen re-
commenting that in future negotiations with
the company any claim to such monopoly of
the isthmus as may exclude rival waterways
between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea
shall be stout'y resisted. Lord Salisbury has
declared that NJ. De Lesseps in order to cut
secund canal must obtain the consent OF Egypt
and OF England. The approaching debates
will probably find the Conservative party
united on this question. The Government
have conceded that NJ. De Lesseps under his
original concessions has monopoly of the
isthmus. The Opposition JOINS issue with them
on this question even as matter OF law. 1t
denies that NJ. De Lesseps has acquired an ex-
elusive right to construct and operate canals
across the isthmus. Ii practically aflirms that
"A British company can obtain new concession
from the Khedvs and cut another ditch with
out reference to the existing arrangements.
The Liberal Government neglected to con-
sult the shipowner and mercantile public he
fore concluding their negotiations with NJ. De
Lesseps. This was grave error The agree
ment was negotiated by professional diplo
matist, Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, who had
10 means of ascertaining the grievances ard
requirements of the commercial public. The
two members of the Cabinet, Lord Granville
and Mr. Childers, who were mainly responsible
for the details of the contract, consulted the
legal advisers of the Crown and were in
formed that if NJ. De Lesseps should stand upon
his legal rights the game was entirely IL his
own hands-he could not be forced to reduce
tolls OF to make any concessions to English
shipOwners, and he could construct another
canal at his own pleasure. Accordingly they
instructed their diplomatic agent to make the
best bargain he could, and congratulated them
selves that they were able to negotiate an
agreement on any terms. They secured the
appointment of British Admiral as Surveyor
of Navigation, of permanent British Vice
President, and of three seats in the two main
committees of the company. They obtained
