Tho Lyucning Of Cooper.

Howard Cooper, the colored libertine
of Baltimore County, Nd, has been taken
from jail at Towsontown by an ire
sponsible mob and hanged. Hts crime
in the assault upon Miss Gray was OF
= dastardly and foul character, but
he was arrested for 1t, tried for 1t, con-
victed for 1t and was under ser tence OF
death for 1t, and there is no doubt In
the world that he would have suffered
the full penalty. Under these circum-
stances there is no excuse whatever for
his lynching. Had he been taken OIL
sum m arily before the trial, for fear he
might escape through some loophole OF
the law, the case would not have looked
80 bad. But there was no justit cation
whatever for the lynchtng Of Cooper,
and the mob that took his life make
their pretended devotion to the cause
of law and order only an excuse for
perhaps only qualification OF a
spirit of possibly to CRAFTY q
morbid feeling to zee a guilty wretch
dauple at .he end of the rope Poss- bly,
| such ereusable acts of violence may
deter and prevent crime, but while
| this one act in particular has put An
| end to one law breaker, it has made
| seventy-fve other law breakers, foi
every man who participated IN the
lyn ching is . violator of the laws o
Maryland, and If the authorities o'
Baltimore County do their duty, they
will not rest until they have brought
Cooper lynchers to Justica. For the
crime that Cooper committed. his pun
ishment was not too severe, but it should
have been administered by the handi
of the States officers, and not oy th'
hands OF an irresponsible mob.
The circumstan GO, however, does no
90 without good effect, though in th'
present case it was unjusti6able. II
speaks out in accents louder thar
words that these guilty fends. wors
than beasts of prey who prowl arount
ready at any moment to assault femal
innocence and helplessness, must b
, punished. The lynching Of so many
, these guilty wretches is notice serve
upon those who are chosen TO admin
lister justice, that the guilty shall nc

President Cleveland, pursuant to
 Instructions from the dem ocratic national committee, is fluff Hing their instructions just opposite to a certain plank in the democratic platform. If We are not mistaken. and we don't think We are, there was a plank in the democratic platform, that all ,apEointive offices to be filled by the president should be made from bona fde residents of the different territories. The said plank in the platform, al
 thogh it did not catch the maiori- ty vote of the voters of the Paciff. ic slope, was an inviting bait for them. As soon as time would per init. President Cleveland ignores this plank. and Immediately ap- points two non-rcsidents to fill i'm portant positions in the territories of Utah and New Mexico, and it is a two to one bet that Arizona will fare the game way. But this is the way democrats do thinsg. The staunch and true, who have been blowing about Cleveland and de mocracy. would do well to make a R0te pf tAis.

 A Worli's Charleston special says: The News and Courier explains the mystery of the confederate bond craze as follows: Judah P Beniamain, sec retary of state of the coniedracy from 1862 unil its collapse, was tl.e origi, nator of the plan by which the de mand was created fer bonds At dif ferent tines tho Confederate congress voted large sums fer secret service, the principal deposits beingin Lo"don, and Paris banks The funds were placed to the credit of Great Britain and France who were friendly to the soutl: At the close of tie var there was an unexpended balance of 8, 0S0, 1000. BenjaEoain consulted with these agents as to the disposition of the money and it was agreed that it should he surrendered to the United States. The question was then how to disburse the money so as to bsniiit those who were entitled to 1t. IL was concluded that the people who had given their means to the Confedracv for its bonds were entitled to the money, and bonds were advertised for. and 10 cover the real object oi tie movement i: was hintcd that the bonds were to be held by spectators and that suit was t. be instituted against the United States for their payment.
