IsTHIs THE NINETEENTH CENTURY,

Reports which occasionally come
from the South concerning the treat
ment of colored criminals might lead
one to suppose that the hands oi
time had been turned backward for
at least 1000 years. The latest re-
ports of this character concern the
punishment inflicted on a colored
man in Louisiana for his brutal
treatment OF young white woman
employed as school teacher.
According to the circumstantial
account in the New York World and
the general press dispatches, the
colored man was securely bound to
tree by his captors and tortured to
death.n The World correspondent
says: "He was first skinned, and
then cut up bit by bit. He suffered
excruciating agony, but his captors
were hardened at the thought of the
brute's crime and continued their
work. The negro lived under this
horrible torture about fourty min.
utes. No arrests in connection with
the murder have beer reported OF
are anticipated
fin the history Of the tortnres in
fiicted on captivcs by the savages
of this or any other continent there
is anything more horrible than this
work Of a Louisiana mob we have
i failed to read it. Only short time
ago an account was given of the
torture of three other colored men
in the South by tying them to q
stake and burning them to death
The burning of colored men and
women in their houses is by nc
means infrequent.
In the name of humanity we pro
test against this horrible work Of
Southern mobs. If it is necessary
to override all law and lynch these
colored men to satisfy the ideas Of
vengeance in some ofthese Southern
communities, let it be done in a
half.civilized way. But skinning
men alive, burning them at the
stake, and other such atr0cious
cruelties are intolerable. The "civ
ilization " which permits such fright
tul tortures would disgrace the say
ages of any part Of the known world

There are no accurate statistics of

would probably be safe to place the

The Great Industries.

There is little new in the great indus
tries, for while the tone Of the iron market
improves, and there is more inquiry for
rails and bar iron with larger sales of pig,
the price is depressed by attempts of some
southern makers to realize. Some large
orders for manufactured iron have been
placed, but the consumption of pig has not
yet visibly overtaken the unprecedented
supply. Little change is seen in the wooden
manufacture, though there is better de-
mand for wool and larger sales, and many
branches of the manufacture are highly
prosperous, but the distribution of mems
wear goods is comparatively slow, and
manufacturers adhere to their policy of
purchasing only according to immediate
wants. The trade in cotton goods is per-
haps shade better, and in boots and shoes
the factories are well employed.

regiments from their enumeration of VIII
liam's dlgnities. They are not mentioned
in the almanac of 1851. 1t is further said
that the Cars desire was instantly to ac-
cept the designations and make clear his
resentment, but Vishnegradsky so pleaded
the vital Importance of trying to raise
money in Berlin and striving TO placate
Germany to that end, that M. de Giers
came to Berlin after he was in Paris to
make personal appeal that William would
withdraw his letter. He was treated
codly, and is described as leaving Berlin
under an impression that his mission had
failed.

a substantial foundation, / believe them
all to be true. They will be worth refer

them with other facts which will further

A Conservative Home Rule Scheme.

The correspondent of the New York Mail
and Express announces that the cabinet
committee on Irish local government has
adopted as the pivotal measure of whatever
legislation the Imperial government may
inaugurate on this subject clause appoint
ing central council, sitting in Dublin,
which is to be empowered to assume COM
plete control of the county councils in Ire
land. This would practically constitute a
Dublin parliament unless the council were
appointed Independently of the popular
vote, in which case it would be merely q
mouthpiece of the Imperial government
and no more represent the people of Ire
land than The official appointees of the
prime minister do. Even TO this scheme,
however insufficient as it is, the cabinet is
not committed until it shall have been voted
upon in full council. The Liberal Union
lists" are disposed to resent the project of
a central council at Dublin as step to-
wards Home Rule, these rabid enemies of
the Liberal party being far more bitter
against Mr.. Gladstone and the Irish patriots
than the true Tories ever were. Lord
Salisbury himself is good deal keener for
England land legislation than for any. even
the remotest, attempt to alleviate the con-
dition of the Irish people. He has aban-
doned his intention to spend the winner in
his new house at Nice, and intends to be

AFFAIRS ABROAD.

Alarming reports continue to pour in
from South America. In Brazil disagree
ments have arisen between the government
and the governor of the state of Rio jan
GIRO. In Guatemala the Presidential cleo
ton has created great deal of bad blood.
In Mexico, the prevalence of smallpox in
some districts and famine in others, create
considerable apprehension.
Chill is bumptious, and ridicules Presi-
dent Harrison's message referring to our
difficulty with that turbulent country.
Indications point to early disturbances
in Hawaii having a Republican movement
in view.
The daily kilograms in The HERALD
keep the readers informed as to the phases
Of the various conflicts now forming and
progressing.
The political affairs of Great Britain are
now in ouiescent condition. Until par
lament opens it is not probable that there
will be great deal of enthusiasm, for Mr..
Gladstone is about to leave for Italy, and
the Conservative leaders are sufficiently
busy in preparing to face the fierce opposi-
ton which will confront them.

A Financial Movement.

Mr.. Goschen made an address before the
London chamber of congress, which intro
duced his new metallic reserve scheme He
has considerably modified his original plan.
and has now dropped his much criticised
proposal for compelling the joint stocks to
do their part in keeping q gold reserve.
That duty is to be left as now, with the
Bank of England, or under its CONTROL but
the reserve is to be increased from % to 40
millions. He proposes a,more elastic sys-
TEN of note issue, ana, abandoning also his
scheme for ten-shilling notes, would now
legalize an issue of one-pound notes, the
lowest now printed by the Bank of England
being five pounds. All these suggestions
are worked up, together into financial
whole, and their author hopes that they
may contribute to the financial strength of
England and perpetuate the power of Lon
don as the centre of the exchange system
of the financial world.
The one-pound notes are the key to the
whole, since it is mainly by their issue that
he hopes to enlarge the gold reserve. That,
however, depends on whether the public
will absorb the twenty or twenty-five mil
lions of these notes which he hopes to put
into circulation, a point on which experts
differ widely
