For the last two years he has hustled about the
state. advertised himself aud doomed Democracy
more than anyone else ever has done or could
do. His untiring devotion to his party earned
for him the sobriquet OF never sleep As an
organizer he had no equal. and he did any
amount OF hard party drudgery for which he
received neither pay nor than ks. But because,
being free silverite in harmony with Demo.
cratic pretensions. he refuses to bow down aud
worship an anti.free silver idol and champion
the cause of Grover Cleveland he is denounced
as liar and a traitor to his party, abused by
creatures he has made and slandered by those
who but recently were only too glad to accept
favors from him. George has learned from sad
experience that he who sows Democracy must
reap calumny"

Contemplate Jealousy of Seattle.
Eyernft Tines

The Times is surprised at the narrow, con-
tracted minds which some newspaper men have
in the fair state OF Washington. More than one
newspaper has opposed the Dill now before con-
gress providing for an appropriation for the
purpose Of cutting canal from Puget sound to
Lake Washington, near Seattle. That such a
measure should be opposed shows a spirit of
jealousy, which is neither manly or commend
able. 1t is true that the cutting of such canal
would be of immense benefit to Seattle, but why
should the appropriation be opposed on that ac-
count? Seattle is in the state of Washington, is
part of this commonwealth, and anything that
is of benefit to that city is of corresponding benz
eft to the state. The Times believes the govern.
ment would expend its money wisely in appro-
priating sufficient means to cut the Lake WASH
ington canal. The Puget sound cities and
towns must learn to work together in harmony
and not be everlastiugly fighting each other.

SEATTLE. FRIDAY. JUNE 3.
PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

It il reported that large number OF
people will attend the hanging of Robert
T. Day, who will be publicly executed to-
day in the court yard of the Cowlitz
county Jail, at Kalama, for the murder Of
Thomas Beebe. Public executions are
against wise public policy. No right
minded person would wish to see human
being put to death. Medical men some
times in the interest Of scientific observa-
ton are present at hangings; the necessi-
ties of justice oblige the presence of the
sheriff and his deputies and the legal num-
Der of witnesses; clergymen are sometimes
present at the request of the condemned,
but outside of these persons there is no
justification for the presence of those who
desire from motives of morbid curiosity to
see a fellow creature done to death by the
hangman.
The cause of law and order, it was once
assumed, was served by public executions.
but it had just the opposite effect; the
crowds that assembled on hanging day at
Tyburn tree in London were VIGOROUSLY
disorderly, drunken, profane and frivol-
Gus. The criminal usually died "game,"
and the effect upon the dangerous classes
was to make them think lightly of death
on the scaffold. For this reason in En-
gland and in the majority of the states Of
our Union executions are private. Public
executions are confined mostly to the
Southern states. A right-minded person
does not from choice witness the butcher
ing of domestic animal, and certainly
no humane man, much less humane
woman, will witness today the execution
Of Robert Day.

oiled by the Chicago Tribun,
Total lynchings. .............. 1873

These lynchings are executed by mobs
made up of representative citizens, farm
ers, merchants, men of influence. When
the crimes committed by the negroes are
committed against the people of their own
race the people permit the law to take its
course, but if negro commits crime
against white man he is instantly
lynched. These lynchings are deliberately
executed, and as rule the lynchers are
not punished. The pretence that negroes
are with rare exception lynched save for
Tribune, which says:
OF 72S negroes lynched during the last eight
years, 269 were lynched for rape or because they
were charged with that offense, or in some cases
were only suspected. In the same period go
were iynched for murder, A for robbery, 81 for
incendiarsm, 81 for unknown reasons, q on
account OF race prejudice, IL for Quarrels with
white men, 10 for making threats, Z for rioting.
for miscegenation and for burglary.
Rape constitutes only one-third of the
claimed causes. The other two-thirds
were lynched for all manner of crimes,
even to circulating scandals. colonizing
negroes and turning states evidenc e
against white men. OF course there is no
certainty that rape Is the real cause in
even one-third of the instances. There is
no excuse whatever for these crimes. The
whites hold absolute control in every
state in the South; they make and exc
cute all the laws, and yet after sixteen
years of undisputed power lynching of
negroes by white mobs is three times as
frequent as it was ten years ago. The law
and machinery of government are amply
able to protect women in cities, like Nash
vile, Memphis and Little Rock, or to pun
ish ravishers when caught, and there is
not the slightest extenuation for mob law
in those large communities.
Lynching negroes in the South is not re-
sorted to in self-defense, but to crafty the
spirit of revenge. and such acts Of mob
law mean that the South is afflicted with
very crude, savage civilization or that
government is demoralized. 1t is note
worthy fact that lynchings in Indiana
have been most numerous in that part of
the state which was settled by people
from the South. The lynching of the
negro in the Omaha jail was wrought by
the Southernized element of that COM
munity.
No wonder Governor Tillman, of South
Carolina, and Governor Northern, of Geor-
gia, begin to be alarmed; for as intelligent
men they see that lynch law always grows
fat on the crimes it commits. So far from
acting as deterrent against crime, crime
always increases in q community where
Judge Lynch holds court most frequently.
