Dangers of Mob Law.

One of the signs of The times that
forebodes evil to our country is the
growing disregard of law and want of
respect for authority as manifested in
the frequent lynchings and outbursts
af mob violence in different parts of
country. And these uprisings of the
country are not confined to any partic-
ular section of the country. They are
as common in the North as in the
South, in the East as in the West, and
in their blind fury are as Il ot to punish
the innocent as the guilty, as in the
case of the North Carolina lynching,
where it has developed since the
lynching that one Of the victims was
an innocent man. What if the man is
guilty of the most aggravated crime in
the criminal calendar, can we, rs citi-
Zens living under government found
ed upon law, and that law based upon
the consent of the governed, afford to
trample under foot the majesty and
dignity of that very law which is our
shield and safeguard? Though the
victim may be unquestiondbly guilty
yet the reflex influence of this unlaw-
full act will be sure to result in our own
decentralization, and we come to look
upon the law finally as a dead letter.
Every unlawful act of this kind is a
step towards anarchy, and every step
towards anarchy is blow at popular
government, and when we have reach
ed the depths of anarchy, perhaps be-
fore, some strong man will take hold
of the helm and give us strong, CEN
tralized government. So, we can but
look upon every act of mob violence as
step towards the subversion of popu-
lar government and the establishment
upon its ruin of centralized govern
meut. And what is the remedy
Something is wrong away down at the
foundation of society, in the family
and in the home, and then in the
school. Our children and young peo-
| pie must be taught greater respect for
authority, for the authority of the IA
ther and mother, for the authority OF
the teacher and the preacher, for the
authority of the magistrate and all the
powers that be, and for all the forms
Of established law.
We do not deny that some OCCASION
has been given by those whose duty il
| is W UIlDS ClllDllltllS W JuSlICe. 4 liz
laws delays are proverbial, and the es'
capes from the clutches of the law are
more so. Murderers are sometimes
not tried for years, until the witnesses
are gone and everybody's patience is
worn out.
In this connection we would suggest
to the Legislature that it might be well
to elect one or two special criminal
judges for the Stale at large whose du.
ty it would be to hold special crimi,
nal court wherever felony is commit,
ted within thirty days after the com.
mission Of 'he crime or after the arrest
Of the criminal. This would greatly
expedite matters. relieve the pressure
upon the Circuit Courts and make peo.
pie feel that there was a prospect of a
speedy administration of justice. 'Oi
course it would cost something, but we
con afford this if thereby we increase
respect for the law and its machinery
and lessen the danger of mob violence.

The Seventeenth Anniversary o

Room in Columbia, October l, 1889.
Though but few persons were pres,
ent-more however than last year
the meeting was altogether OF much
interest. The exercises were COM
menced with reading the Scriptures
and prayer. Nearly all present had
something to say that was appropriate
and good, and they said it briefly and
in a way that contributed no little to
the interest of the occasion. A mod
est and intelligent member said pri'
vately that the Indifference of intelli-
gent people, specially ministers of the
gospel, toward the cause of peace was
a matter of much surprise to him.
Three of the persons authorized the
enrolment Of their names as members
Of the Society the first was Il Chris

There will soon be opened in Chica-
go a theological school that will be
unique among contemporary institI-
called the Bible Institute, and is in
tended for the educaton.and practical
training of evangelists. While in
some outward features it will resemble
the theological seminary of the regula-
ton type as conducted by all the Pro-
testant denominations of the present
day, in other more essential points it
will be analogous to tfe schools of the
prophets as they are believed to have
existed in the Old Testament time. It
will be conducted under the auspices
of the Chicago Evangelization Society.
D. l.. Moody, the originator ard prop
agator of the innovation, is also to he
its President. Mrs. Cyrus Mccormick,
Marshall Field, Carson, Pirie & Scott,
E. G. Keith, John V. Farwell, and
many others have contributed $3.50, 900
for the founding of the school. Of
this sum SIS 900 will be used in provid-
ing the home for the institution in
Pearson street, between Wells and La
Sale avenues, on the north side. Both
young men and women are to be ad-
mitted to the school on equal terms.
Miss Gertrude Hurlbert, an experienc-
ed teacher from Northfield, Mass, will
be Principal of the woman's depart

swer with me, mol! never!!!
Not while the white man keeps his
blood pure; not while he rules the
world not while we are continually
disturbed in every respect and in eve-
ry relation in life by the negro, can
that question be answered in the af-
tirmalive. The cry in answer to it OF
no! never!! will grow louder and
stronger until d quiet solution OF the
race problem has been accomplished,
or we are forced to solve it by the eX-
termination of the other race. One or
the other event must happen.
That is the situation that confronts
us. A situation as l have before said,
that never confronted any people IN
any country OH the face of the earth,
but it must be met and solved whether
we desire it or not.
Seeing the above to be our situation
I proposed the plan of colonizing the
negro in New Mexico as outlined in
the beginning of this article. That
plan has met with the objections also
given above.
If this plan is impractical let some
other be proposed that is practical ana
| will advocate it. TO make any ideas
OH this subject practical all that is
necessary is to gain the will OF the
people. That "will" Overrules every
thing and by it only can we make
such changes in our national constitu-
tion as will give congress the power to
act. Do this and the rest is easy.
The negro is beginning to see that he
cannot stay here, as is evidenced by
their conduct and emigration schemes

is becoming restless, and by the time

1U about Samoa.

Commander B. F. Day, of the United
States navy. who has recently returned
from a cruise in the South Pacific, tells
an interesting story of his experience
in Samoa. He went there in May, 1886,
on the United States steamer Mohican,
shortly after Tamasese had set himself
up against M alietoa. Captain Day had
a conference with Malietoa, and arrang-
ed q move against Tamasese's forces,
which were in a camp on the beach nine
miles away. They especially stipulated
that there would be no blood shed. I'M
lees he gave the signal. His calcula-
ton was that Tamasese, who had but
600 men, would capitulate on finding
himself surrounded. Malietoa's army
of 1000 men moved down as planned,
and at daylight the Mohican went up to
anchor off Tamasese's town. The Ger
mans had been watching the ship and
sent word to Tamasese, overland, to
have nothing to do with Commander
Day. When the Mohican arrived of
camp, Day sent for Tamasese and tried
to have him sign an agreement giving
up his claim to the kingship. Acting
under German advice, he refused. "My
best judgment then" said Day, Twas to
have Malietoa everlastingly whip Tam
asese, as the latter was in rebellion
against the then recognized government.
This would have forever ended the d fl
Guilty. BY this time, however, the Eng
lish consul served me with formal pro-
test against my precipitating a conflict,
and the United States consul siding
with the German consul earnestly en-
treated me not to start the affair. We
then tried to have the consuls hit upon
an arrangement. An agreement was
signed by all of Malietoa's and Tama-
sese's chiefs, June s, 1886, solemnly
agreeing that from that day there should
be perpetual peace, and the two parties
would live in friendship; all forts to be
destroyed and no firearms to be carried
by Samoans. This peace lasted until
about August, 1887" Commander Day
further says, that Vrandois, now Tama.
sese's premier, was formerly clerk for
the German trading company, and is
completely under their control. Instead
OF an autonomy, the Samoan govern
ment is protectorate in the full intent
and purposes. In fact, the commander
of the German vessel at that time there,
frankly admitted to Commander Day,
that they were protecting Tamasese.
The Germans supply him with guns and
ammunition, and if our government in
tends to assert its rights there and pre-
vent the Germans from getting full con-
troll, the wisest move would be to send
Mataafa good supply of arms and am
munition. With these he could hold
his own against any force the Germans
could send against him for long time.
Commander Day has an idea that the
affair is going to be very serious COM
plication.-Ex.

Examiner that there is real floating is
land on Henry's lake. Idaho. The lake
is situated on the dome of the CONT

1t is oval in shape and has an area of
40 square miles.

linson, 1.-THE lake, the waters of which
are as clear as emeralds, seems to have
no outlet. 1t is surrounded by solid
ground, on which are groves of pine
and luxuriant mountain grass. On the
western edge lies what appears to be n
hollow pool connecting it. and from
this obscured in growth Of brush, ri. =

fork of the Snake river.
Now. on this lake. and sometimes

on the other, is this curious floating is

and has for its basis mass Of roots, so
dense as 10 support large trees and
heavy thicket underground. Decayed
vegetation adds to the thickness of the

thickness.

There is a willow thicket near the

among these willows, and continuous TO
them, are number of aspen and dwarf
pines.
These catch the breezes which float
over the lake, and act like sails on a
