The lesson accepted from the Gin

The lesson accepted from the Gin
cinnati riot is that the ignorante IN
ror must go. Who shallreplace him?
A certain degree Of intelligence is
necessary in the jury box as well as
on the bench. The ignorant jury is
open to the seduction of the criminal
lawyer to a dangerous degree, and
this bias may be made as perilous to
the public welfare if exerted through
his unframed kindness as through
his prejudices. Therefore ignorance
should not sit as juror even if the
man is moral and the citizen conscien-
tious. Is his education to be made
the test? Is his business capacity?
or the amount of his property? orhis
interest in real estate? This is
really the nut to crack. We are all
satisfied that ignorance should be
eliminated from politics, from pri-
vate life and from the nation, but
how? The doctors who show the
disease must be followed by some
one who can point out the cure,
what is 1t? We hope all will not
speak at once.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Hon. ii. X. IeaSdaIe chairman OF
the republican executive committee
has issued his call for the county
convention to assemble in Palatka
on April 18th to select delegates for
the state convention at St Angus
tine on April 3Oth. Any forecast of
the results of their action wonld be
useless for the secret is carefully
locked in the minds of some half
dozen leaders, and while the whole
programme is arranged beforehand,
any hint as to the character of the
figures on the slate is very rarely
allowed to escape. But when the
actual incumbent is a candidate, it
may be safely counted that the re-
publicans of the south will vote for
the actual disbursement of COVER
mental patronage at least in the con-
vention. That they may be pre-
vailed on to change their minds we
all saw at another Chicago conven-
ton, but Arthuris too wary politi-
clan to allow any tricks to be played
on him. Repeated attempts have
been made by the republicans to re-
lease the national convention from
the fearful pressure brought to bear
by mass of southern delegates who
have no corresponding representa-
ton in the electoral colleges, but so
far without avoid. The influence
of the government is always partial
to the retention of a power so readily
influenced by a candidate in sym
pathy with the administration, and
with the republican party this in
| fuence is paramount. In Putnam
county less than half dozen astute
politicians dictate the end and con-
troll the means for its attainment,
and it is so, more or less throughout
the south. We have had as yet no
! formal indication of the course to be
followed by the party in the coming
yet even know whether the mass of
their voters will be ordered to choose
! for or against new constitution.
The expression of democratic feel
! ing in favor of a constitutional con-
vention is unmistakable, but where
a party has no press and the think
ing for the whole army is done by a
few leaders, a caucus can build a
platform in an hour, and the course
of a whole party can be determined
in private room at some hotel just
before the foraality of calling the
convention to order
In the last republican county con-
vention here, when that body could
come tie no definite decision, one of
it's favorite leaders simply occupied
the attention of the members in a
speech for time which the others adj
journed to another room and select
the candidates. These were not
only accepted, but the campaign
pushed to a triumphant conclusion
by voters who took no part in the
selection of Their representatives.
So that any speculation as to the
action of the convention at St. Au-
gustine could have no basis on which
which to rest unless we were thor
oughly conversant with the notions
and intentions of few who know
well how to veil these in impenetra-
bic mystery.
We shall see what we shall see.

cinnati riot is that the ignorante in-
ror must 90. Who shall replace him:

This keepsake of q day
Long since gone onward from my sight
Through times relentless way.
This scented tuft OF pignonette--
Its tinting just as fair
As when placed IL fresh and wet
Within her sunny hair.
How will view theScene again

The eyes that yelled themselve In vain
The lissome form half turned.
And bending DER her foolish fond,
Myself with tremb ing hand
Whose errand wOve loves subtle bond
In gold and purple strand.
The lark sang up TO God its song
From out its leafy- screen,
The daisies star-liKe blooned among
The meadow grasses green.
And at our feet the garden-beds
With all sweet flowers that bloom
The butterflies in changing reds,
The brown bees timbrel boom.
All me! since then what days of pain,
What weeks of sad unrest
What months of toll and winters rain.
What years with woe opprest.
This little SPRAY of mignonette
Came back Ger ocean wide
Its message haunts my men'ry yet
''She sent you this with love " 9 she died. :

SIOUX CITY, February 5.-Reports
have. reached here from the upper Elkhorn
country, in Nebraska, that Kid Wade,
dea er of the Nebraska outlaws and horse
thieves, has been hung by yigilantes, who
have headquarters at place called ''The
Pen," at the mouth of the Long Pine.
They have ARE sted large number of men
in various parts of northern Nebraska and
taken them away to this place, where
they are tried and disposed of in a
manner unknown. But as they are
never seen again, it is supposed that they
are shot, hanged or conducted out Of the
country. The terrible earnestness of the
vigilantes and the mystery of their ways
cause men to shudder when their doings
are mentioned. 1t is positively certain that
they have lynched eleven men, and it is
equally sure that others have met the same
fate, but how many, or by what means,
only the grim eXecutioners can tell. ''Kid''
Wade was captured at Lemars three weeks
ago. He seemed to realize the fate that
awaited him, but manifested no more con-
cern than if going about his ordinary bus
mess.
4LoNG PINE, February kid Wade
was found this morning hanging to whis-
tle-post ten miles east of Long Pine. Coro-
ner Shofford, of Long Pine, held an inquest
to-day and found that he came to his death
by hanging by parties unknown. The vigil
lantes left this place yesterday morning with
Wade. The sheriff of Holt county took him
from them, but on the way to Holt county
ten or fifteen masked men took Wade from
the sheriff.

the Atchison with the Burlington it is sup
posed that the latter will be included in the

as opposed to the Union Pacific and its four

ranged between the Burlington, the Atchi-

Central roads for Mexican traffic.
