Mob Law In Kansas.

1t is not often that a coroners jury IS
chung" but that was the condition of one
that was impaneled at Chetopa, Kan. on
Friday. 1t was composed of four white
and eight colored men, and its duty was to
inquire INTO the lynching of two colored
men by mob Of Chetopa citizens. The
white jurors wanted to return a verdict
that the lynched men came to their
death by violence at the hands of unknown
parties, and the colored jurors wanted the
names of the lynchers stated, because, as it
was claimed, they were known
There is no doubt that the colored Jurors
were in the right. The lynched men were
killed unlawfully, and those who killed
them should he made to answer for their
deed. The lynched men were guilty of
murder. They had attempted to escape
from prison, and being discovered shot two

Kansas Lynch law may be excusable
where there is no other law, but there is
certainly no necessity for resortng TO il in
n thickly settled community like that at
Chetopa. Kan. There are courts, iails and
officials there, and the law ought to be per
mitted TO take its course.
Only few weeks ago it was discovered
that an innocent man had been lynched in
New Jersey, and it is quite safe to say that
many innocent persons are the victims OF
lynch law. Four persons have been lynched
in Kansas within a week One lynching leads
TO another, and if mobs were permitted 10
deal with those charged with crime, there
would soon be chaotic condition affairs
The eight colored jurors at Chetopa
should remain firm in the stand they have
taken, and insist that the names of the
lynchers should be made public. If the laws
Of Kansas are defective let them be
amended, but mob law should not be coun-
tenanced.

Must a Congressman Be Richp

Mr.. Perry Belmont, of New York, who
has signited his intention of retiring from
congress at the expiration of his present
term, says that one reason for his course in
this matter is that he cannot afford the ex-
pense of living in Washington.
Congressman John D. Long of Massa-
chusetts, will also retire to the shades of
private life when his present term expires.
but his ideas concerning congressman's
expenses materially differ from those which
Mr.. Belmont may be supposed to hold. Mr.
Long thinks that the great majority of con
gressmen, including nearly all of those of
controlling influence, are men of limited
means, who live in modest and simple
manner The Massachusetts senator's. he
says, live quite frugally, one in little ten
ement not better than an ordinary New
England parsonage, and the other in a
boarding house, where most of the other
boarders are government employees, receiv-
ing salaries of $4,000 and less Congressman
Thomas b. Reed lives in the fifth story of n
small hotel; Mr.. Randall with his
family, occupies house that
would probably yield an annual
rent of $500 or $500; Mr. Mills lives in a
quiet boarding house; Mr.. Mckinley with
his family in two or three chambers.
According to Mr.. Long the lower branch
of congress is full of plain, we'll behaved.
temperate, church-going people; men who
go afoot, who ape no fashions, some of
whom go to a few public receptions, but few
of whom are able or care to give entertain
ments themselves.
The picture presented by Mr.. Long is
certainly a most pleasing and crafty
ing one, and differing so materially
from that which is suggested by
Mr. Belmont's reason for retiring this cues
ton naturally arises: Which of these two
gentlemen is correcta There can be no
doubt that both are. Mr.. Belmont, who is
quite wealthy, lives according to, perhaps
beyond, his means, and gets his impressions
of Washington life from association chiefly
with people of wealth Mr. Long is not very
beautifully blessed with the worlds goods.
and he forms his views of that life from in
tercourse chiefly with those who are con
tent to live somewhat plainly
1t is a mistake to suppose that one
must be rich to be an influential member of
congress, or that he cannot live comfort
ably in Washington ON a congressmans
salary. There are quite number of very
wealthy men in the senate and house who
live extravagantly and profusely, but the
majority of our national legislators live
simply and unostentatiously, and with them
duty is the controlling influence; therefore,
they are the men whose power is felt in the
affairs Of the country.

Types Of a Democracy.

| One OF the topics Of the GRAFTON OF Presi-
dent Eliot, of Harvard college, on Thurs
day, before the Phi Beta Kappa society of
the college, was 1.-THE Effect Of Democratic
| Institutions on the Production of Ladies
and Gentlemen" and he handled it in a
very interesting and instructive way. If
his conclusions are correct, and every true
American will agree that they are, there is
much more reason why Europeans should
| adopt our manners and customs and seek to
make their institutions conform to ours
than that Americans should borrow any
thing from them, There are people in this
country who think that if they adopt En-
glish manners and wear clothes of English
cut and make, Ind particularly if they have
been presented at some European court,
| they are nearer being genuine ladies and
gentlemen than their fellow citizers who
are satisfied with their own country and
its manners, customs and institutions.
President Eliot believes that democracy
produces the highest types of ladies and
gentlemen, and his belief is not due to his
admiration and love for his own country.
In his grafton he said: con the evidence of
my reading and Of my personal observation
at home and abroad, | fully believe that
there is a larger proportion of ladies and
gentlemen in the United States than in any
other country. This proposition is, think,
true, with the highest definition Of the
terms lady or gentleman but it is also
true if ladies and gentlemen are only per
sons who are clean and well dressed, who
speak gently and eat with their forks. 1t
is unnecessary, however, to claim any
superiority for democracy in this respect;
enough that the highest types of manners
in men and women are produced abundantly
on democratic soil"
1t is abundantly shown in this country
that neither inherited wealth nor genera
tions of privileged ancestors are necessary
to the making of a lady or gentleman"
According to President Eliot, the son Of
poor and comparatively uneducated parents,
in democracy, if he have fine bodily and
spiritual qualities, and the necessary edu
cational advantages and refined surround
ings, stands just as good chance Of devel-
Oping into the finest type of gentleman as
the son of an aristocrat in monarchy, who
has the best advantages and surroundings
In this country it is not unus Ial to find
men and women who answer every require
ment as ladies and gentlemen whose parents
had neither social nor educational adj
vantages President Eliots Grafton is well
worth reading, not only for the informa-
ton it contains, but also for the lessons it
teaches.
