1T STRUCK LINCOLN.

A correspondent of the Topeka
Capital, writing from Lincoln, Kan
sas, says the rain and hail storm of
Friday evening Of last week visited
the north tier of townships Of Lin
coin county. The path Of the storm
was almost directly from west to
east, and was from one to five miles
in width. The destruction of grow
ing crops of corn, small grain and
fruit was as complete as it is pos
sible to imagine, and falls very
heavily on the farmers in that
district, as the wheat crop was most
promising, and almost ready to cut.
Many farmers had already supplied
themselves with Irvine for their
harvest. Two farm houses were
completely demolished and one
farmer lost a good pair Of work
mules.
This leaves many farmers in very
bad shape, as many Of them de-
pended mainly on their crop of
small grain for means Of supporting
their families, as their means were
exhausted through the short crops
Of the last two seasons. Though
none are killed, their immediate
means Of living is as completely
swept away as if by flood.
This was a continuation of the
storm which swept so furiously
through the south part of Graham
county.

DRNUNcLAT1oN OF DOUGLASS.

DHNONC1A41ON VI OOCULAoO.
The publication of a book con-
tanning some of the newspaper
thoughts of Major Edwards, who
died recently at Jefferson City, Mo-,
is in contemplation. With the
view of creating public interest in
the work, the st. Joseph, No.,
Gazette, paper which the major
used to edit, is publishing some of
his thoughts as they appeared in
that paper. The major possessed
genius and courage. We well re-
member the faying which he gave
Fred Douglass for marrying white
woman. It is so good that we re-
produce it in this connection:
And now, at the age of 70, heihas mar
ried white woman aged IS. Nearing
the end of long life, what an example
he sets for his people. Miscegenation! a
word that should be more accursed to
his race than that even of pestilence or
famine. One or the other of these merely
kills the body. This kills the soul through
the swift processes of congenital revolt
and social degradation. Miscegenation
would also mean the absolute destruction
of the entire negro population of the
United States. By absorption, by the
reprisals of violated nature, by the devel-
opment of those swift diseases which have
always followed so fatally the mixing of
the blood of the two races, miscegenation
would do its terrible work so surely and
thoroughly as to indicate that it was the
special work of an offended providence.
But as his people as mass have been
made gradually to see the cold greed and
selfshness of their would-be leader, so
now will they look with scorn and con-
tempt on this, the most hateful act of all.

In none Of these counties has a

MOB y1o1rNcELITs CAUSE.

MUD flOLGNCG liz S0SOA'
Two notrble examples of mob
violence occurred in Kansas last
week. Nat Oliphant was hanged
in the business center of Topeka
Tuesday night, and Pat. Cleary was
hanged at Lincoln Monday night
Oliphant had, at 5 o'clock Tues
day morning, entered the residence
of A. T. Rodgers, one of Topeka S
most highly respected citizens, with
burglary in view. Rodgers assailed
him, and Mrs. Rodgers assisted. OH
plant shot both of them. Mr.,
Rodgers died at 9 o'clock that day,
and Mrs. Rodgers was supposed to
be MORALLY injured. Oliphant
made an unsuccessful attempt to
escape. He was placed in jail.
Thousands Of Topeka people, with
out masks, determined to see the
murderer hanged. The sheriff and
police defended Oliphant to the best
Of their ability. 1t was not until
in the night that an entrance was
forced to the cell containing Oil
plant. Door after door had been
battered down, and several Of the
officers had been crippled. Oliphant
was dragged to a telegraph pole, and
put out Of his misery.
Pat Cleary murdered an esteemed
citizen Of Lincoln county early in
1888. He was tried, convicted of
murder in the second degree, and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
twenty years. A new trial was
granted by the supreme court. He
was tried at the recent term Of the
Lincoln county district court, Judge
Eastland presiding. The jury
stood eleven for murder in the first
degree and one for acquittal, and
was discharged. Cleary then plead
guilty to manslaughter in the third
degree. and the Judge gave him the
extreme penalty, three years in the
oenitentiary. In this case, the
people felt that justice had been de-
feated.
In the case Of Oliphant, they
knew there was no law in Kansas
which would punish him adequately.
The law in Kansas does not prohibit
but it does not demand it.
Mob law is a frightful thing-a
'elic Of barbarism; but may it not,
With equal truth, be asserted that
he crudity Of our laws, which, in the
public mind, renders necessary occa-
;ional resorts to mob violence, is a
ellie of the barbarous ages? Mob
aw will be a thing Of the past when
he laws are so framed and executed
Is to render the punishment Of
crime speedy and certain. Then,
md not until then, will the better,
,r the majority, class Of people not
'nly refuse to participate in mob
7iolence, but they will see that it is
stopped.

ROT!

In talking to the question,
Why do men desert from the army?
the Russell Record concludes:
With all our prejudices against hell as
a permanent place Of residence, we be-
heve it preferable to position as private
in the army in time of peace.
This is rot! The army is a ma
tional necessity, the same as the
police system is a necessity in a
large city. To be a worthy soldier,
is patriotic and elevating.
