TOO HUGH LYNCH-LAW.

Human life is too cheap in North
Carolina. We regret it, but it is SO.
Our people are too quick to put the
moose around the neck of criminals
and send them to the eternal bar of
justice without the right Of trial by
jury or the benefit OF clergy.
Occasionally, when brute as
saults pure woman-when his
guilt is certain, it has a good effect
! to put black cap on him at mid
night and speed him into eternity.
Our women must be protected and
the surest way to deter criminals
from assaulting them IS by making
(, a terrible example oil those who do
assault them. This is the only
| crime that lynch law should be
used TO punish and even in this case
it should be called Oh but rarely
and under the most aggravated cir
oumstances. We approved Of the
lynching of the brute who assaulted
a young lady at kernersville last
year, but it is the only lynching in
North Carolina, within several
years, that we did approve of.
This way of stringing up man
who kills another should bestopped.
We have laws that hang men for
| murder, and they should be respect
ed and relied on.
The news of the latest mob-mur-
der comes from. Morgapton, where a
fwhite man named Stack was hung
last week.
The Monroe Enquirer, Stacks
home-paper, says: One of the most
coldblooded and unjustifiable out
RACES ever perpetrated in the name
of Judge lynch, was committed
Tuesday night when Frank Stack, a
quiet and peacable citizen of Union
county, was taken from the Jail in
Morganton and brutally murdered
| by a mob of one hundred and fifty
masked men. He had been arrested
on suspicion Of the murder Of Robt.
Parker, merely because Parker had
killed his brother ten years ago, and
there was no evidence to prove that
he was guilty of the crime, and
those who knew him best believe
that he had nothing whatever to do
with Parker's death.
He died, it is said, protesting his
innocence to the last, and the people
of this county believe that he was
innocent. No man in Union county
could have proved a better character
than Frank Stack, and we never
saw So much Indignation manifested
by our people over any occurrence.
They regard this base crime as an
outrage against the entire county,
and the desire that justice may be
meted out to every member of the
lynching party is intense. Every
power Of the State should be used to
ferret out the perpetrators of this
crime and bring them to the pun
ishment they SO richly deserve.
If it is true, as the Enquire,.
states, that there was no CONCLUSIVE
evidence against him, then THE
SENTINEL. most heartily wishes that
the lynchers may be brought to
justice.
The good name of our State de-
mands that these midnight hangings
should cease, and a stretched neck or
two among the lynchers themselves
would 90 very far toward abolish;ng
reckless lynch-law in North Caro-
lima.
We are glad to see that Governor
Fowle has issued a proclamation
calling for the arrest and punish
ment of those engaged in this lynch
ing.

LET the comrades keep constantly TO the
front In this discussion that they are not
trying to bulldoze the railroads, and that
they are asking nothing as q contribu-
ton, O charity, or in consideration of their
former services. Let il be thoroughly un-
derstood all the time that they are talking
nothing but plain, straightforward "busi-
ness" without the slightest mixture of senti-
nent of any kind. They do not ask for the
least favor as veterans. Their having been
soldiers has no more TO do with the case
than their being Methodists or Catholics,
Baptists or Presbyterians, Free Masons or
Odd Fellows. They are simply citizens de-
manding fulfillment of agreements, and the
same treatment given other citizens. They
are citizens who propose to resent duplicity
and extortion in perfectly justifable and
effective way.

MINORITY representation Is regarded as

nority representation was fad of the Eng
Misunderstanding Mugwumps, which has been
proved, by experience, to be q delusion.
The States which adopted it would be glad
to get rid of ii. It unnecessarily compli-
Gates elections, and opens wide door for
frauds On paper IL looks very well to al
low man TO vote three votes for three Rep
resentatives or Senators, or "plump" his
whole three votes for one, go that in every
District any respectable minority can secure
at least one Representative or Senator. But
in practice it leads to endless bargaining
and trading, with great opportunities for
swindling. Texas was one Of the States
which tried the plan, and ut the first cleo
ton held under il, they elected everybody
who was running on all the tickets, and had
lots of votes to spare. The best plan is to
have small Districts, with the Australian
plan of a strictly secret ballot, with strin-
gent regulations TO secure proper counting,
and then let the parties take care of them
selves.

THE New York Times says:

Tanner. Dudley and another notorious pension
attorney are working hard to bring about the re-.
moyal Of DIR. Charles Mcmillan. who opened the
eyes Of the President 70 what WINS going on In the
way Of re-ratlng the pensions Of men la the Office
and whose recommendations OF the removal Of a
number Of Medical Examiners agreed to In
Tanners absence. Only "a short time ago they
wers working Just Rs bard TO have him appointed
ms Medical Referee. The trouble Is that DR. Mo-
Milian's recent medical opinions would reduce the
business of the claim agents fully 40 peg eent and
that they won't have.
So far as any pension attorney is con.
cerned this is absolutely false. No pension
attorney had the least thing to do with
McMillan's appointment. Nor is any such
attorney doing the slightest thing to have
him removed. The troubles he is involved
in are solely of his own making, and he is
being left TO get out of them as best he
can. The Times is challenged to produce the
slightest proof TO the contrary.

WHEN Southern newspapers shrek about
the amount they are contributing to pay
pensions for Union veterans, it may be well
10 remind them that in one item alone
that Of internal reyenue-the State of Illi-
nois last year paid nearly four times as
much as the whole of the II States which
constituted tho so-called Southern Confed-
eracy. The total collections in Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia last year were
Ss,276,00O, while the collections in Illinois
were $31 100000.

ical heelers and strikers about the Court of
Ferdinand and Isabella gObbled up all &
world of fat things which COlumbus's diseos-

now, after these other fellows and their de-

A FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL.


This fight that the GAR. is making
against the railroads is not for itself alone,
but for the whole country. The question goes
much deeper than merely the difference be-
tween q rate of one cent mile each way and
a single fare for both ways. 1t is whether
the railroads are superior TO oil business
agreements and contracts, and entirely at
liberty TO fleece the public to any extent
they please.
It is a revival of the old obnoxious and
impudent claim of the right to tax the
traffic oil it will bear" which led to such
acrimonious struggles in the far West, and
resulted in the repressive legislation now on
the statute books After the National En-
campment was decided on nj Milwaukee,
and great preparations were under way for
the event, the railway magnates decided that
the passenger traffic would bear" an in
crease of the rates from one cent mile to
one fare because the comrades would pay
the additional amount rather than relinquish
attending the Encampment. They did this
just as in other instances they have raised
the rates upon merchandise that had to
reach . particular market, or when compe-
tition was stopt by the freezing up of water
ways.
There Ia room for belief that the railroads
have invited this contest with the the GAR.
for the purpose of showing their strength.
The Order is the most powerful association
of any kind in the country, outside of the
great political parties, and few of the lead
ing religious denominations. If 1t can be
| overcome in struggle of this kind, il viii
be useless for smaller organizations 70 at
tempt opposition to the railroads, and they
can have things their own way in the fu-
ture. II, however, the GAR. remains firm
in its attitude 1t will teach the roads a lesson
which will be Of enormous benefit to the
whole country. II is n struggle in which
every man and woman in the Nation has a
direct interest, for il is organized resistance
against railroad despotism.

not now. He wanted them then, and wanted

Chris had pretty rough time of it while in

COpperheads In Spain then, just as mean aud

before the Inquisition for heresy. They wanted

Upon his return from his great voyage they
sneered at his discoveries; belittled his dan

creditors were making it hot for him at home;
accused him Of swindling their Majesties out
of their share of the gold he found, aud 6nally
