The Convention.

The convention began work yesterday
and from present Indications it will nomi-
nate the ticket and adopt the platform to-
day. Unless there is long wrangle over
the tariff plank of the platform, there is no
reason why final adjournment should
not take place tonight. There
are differences as TO what the
tariff plank should be, but those who
want TO straddle the tariff question appear
to be small minority. The chances, there
fore, are that there will be square declara-
ton for tariff reform in harmony with the
Presidents tariff message. A declaration
of that kind will be sustained by
the Democratic masses, In the
conventions of nearly all the states the tariff
message Of the President was indorsed
There is no reason, therefore, why it should
not be Endorsed by the national conven-
ton. No opposition to Mr. Cleveland's
denomination has appeared and, of course, be

is still little talk Of Gov. Gray for vice

Lynchers Should be Punished.

II is very seldom that lynch law is ex-
cusable. In communities where society is
organized and the laws are in force. it
should never be resorted to. and those who
take the law into their own hands should
be made to suffer the penalty of their
crime. There is no doubt that limo
cent men are not infrequently the
victims Of lynch law. When men
are excited and Mortified by terrible
crime that has been committed in the
immediate vicinity of their homes, they
want the criminal punished at once, and
they are not as careful as they should be to
get the right man. Evidence of guilt that
they would hesitate to accept if they were
jurors, they are likely to regard as true if
they are acting outside of the law. Every
once in a while it is discovered that an
innocent man has been lynched
About two years ago near Eatonton, N.
D., young girl was brutally assaulted by a
colored man. The crime aroused bitter
feeling in that nsighborhood, and as sus-
plclon pointed toward a respectable colored
man named Samuel Johnson, he was
arrested and placed in the village jail.
age, and had previously borne a good
character, but his age and character do not
appear to have been given any weight by
the citizens in deciding the question of his
guilt or innocence. Masked men broke into
the Jail the first night of his imprisonment
and beat him to death, and after ward hanged
him up by the neck. No effort was ever
made to discover those who committed this
crime.
Subsequently young colored man
named Richard Kearney was arrested for
the murder of a woman in the same neigh
borhood, and convicted. He is now in
prison waiting to be hanged A day or two
ago he confessed that he was the Derpetrator
of the crime for which Samuel johnson had
been lynched. The confession contained
such details that there was no doubt about
the truth of it.
Ought not the men who killed Samuel
johnson to be arrested and punisheda Are
they not guilty of murders What valid
excuse have they for having deliberately
taken the life of an innocent man, and de-
priving his family of their only means of
supports Now Jersey is noted for dealing
out justice to all alike, and if she desires to
maintain her reputation she will spare no
effort to arrest and punish the men who
lynched Samuel Johnson. The prompt
punishment Of few of those who take the
law into their own hands would put stop
to the lynching business.

New Hotels.

Several Georgia cities are very much in
terested in proposition TO build commodi-
Gus and modern hotels within their limits,
and it is not improbable that in a few years,
at most, that part of tho travelling public
which visits them will be provided with
much better accommodations.
Savannah excited a desire in these
cities for better hotels by her efforts to
secure for herself a flrst-class one.
The evidence of the success of her efforts
will soon be seen. The hotel about which
she has talked 80 long will soon be built.
and the impression is that it will be followed
quickly by another. The prospect of a
new hotel here has probably encouraged
Macon and Augusta to take steps in the
same direction; and as both of those cities
have gone to work with energy and deter
mination, the chances are that they will got
what they want.
In South Carolina, Charleston has caught
the infection, and the people are consider
ably enthused on the subject.
1t is hoped that these cities will succeed
in their undertakings. No one thing adds
moro to the growth and reputation OF city
than q handsome, modern and well-kept
hotel, and hotel of that kinds always pays.

The Philadelphia Press prints three
tables showing that the republicans are
bound TO elect their ticket next fall In the
first the vote Of New York is added to the
sure Republican vote, giving II votes TO
spare; in the next, by adding Indiana and
New Jersey to the assured vote, there is a
margin of 5, while in the third, Indiana
and Connecticut are added to the sure vote
10 get votes over the necessary POI. All
Of this looks very well in print and if the
republicans carry the states named
In either table they will certainly elect their
ticket. The only difficulties in the way Of
their doing so are that they haven't as many
sure votes as the Press gives them, and
they are not likely to carry either New
York, New Jersey, Indiana or Connecticut.

basis, and see what the Republican chances

The selfridge Court Martial

The proceedings of the court martial, now
in session at the navy department in Wash
ington. to try Capt Thomas O. Selfridge
on the charge of neglect of duty, promise
to be quite interesting The charge against
him grew out of the Ikeshima disaster.
which occurred on the coast of japan
about fifteen months ago. At that time he
commanded the Omaha and while at lkesh-
ina he ordered heavy gun practice, the
target being placed at the foot of the bluffs
of that island. After the Omaha had de-
parted some of the natives found an unex-
ploded she'll near the target at which the
Omaha had been firing, and carried it to
their settlement While they were examin-
ing it, not knowing it's dangerous charac-
ter, it exploded, killing four persons and
seriously wounding seven others.
Rear Admiral Chandler, who was in
charge of the fleet on that station, at once
relieved Capt. Selfridge of his command,
and sent him home, at the same time
writing a letter to the Secretary of the
Navy which placed the captain in a very
bad light 4.
court of inquiry was held as Nagasaki,
and it found Capt. SeIfridge guilty of negli-
geuce, but this finding was modified by the
statement that he was not chargeable with
deliberate carelesSness, because he had
taken precautions against the kind of an
accident which happened, and which he
thought sufficient.
Capt. Selfridge made great mistake in
holding target practice at Ikeshima, be-
cause international law prohibits ANYTHING
of the kind without permission. The reglla-
tons of the Japanese government als1 pro
hihit it. 1t is alleged, however, that Capt.
Selfridge was not aware of these regula-
tions.
1t is doubtful, however, if the plea of
ignorance will be accepted, because it is his
duty to be sure that he has a clear right TO
engage in target practice wherever he
undertakes to do SO, and it is also his duty
to be certain, after practice is over, that no
unexploded shells are left where they may
be source of danger to those
who may be unacquainted with
their character, and thoughtless enough
to handle them. If Capt Selfridge
can show that he took all reasonable pre-
cautions against danger, and that those
whom he trusted to carry out his instruc-
tons failed to perform their duty, he NAV
escape all punishment, but if he cannot do
that, and 1t appears that he was really neg
ligent, mis- position will be far from a pleas
ant one.
