Lynched by Colored Men.
cincinnati Enquirer.l

Huntington, w. Va, May 3o.-
Information has just reached here
of the lynchlng Saturday in Logan
County of Jim Smith, notorious
colored depserado. Friday evening
Chas. Serpell, aged II, a colored
boy, was murdered and robbed by
Smith, who was caught later. The
officers having him were overpower-
ed by mob composed of colored
men, who took the prisoner to the
nearest tree and swung him up. He
had previously killed three men.
The county where these leading
Republicans committed the pleas
antry has the significant name of
the Ohio town of Chairman Pursell
of Ohio and West Va, and this act
of outlawry by the ldolized and
ideal MAN of the Republican party
north, will have the effect, we fear
to repress the howls of glowering
Grosvenor over the southern out
RACES. This act of the colored
gentlemen of the south is mitigated
in this: The victim was lynched for
the sin of avarice, an enormity
that no northern Republican poll
tician can tolerate. The white
trash in the south have no excuse
for their lawlessness. They lynch
negro brutes for the indiscretion of
white women. The affair,
though, may require a revision of
the Minneapolis platform, and the
Republican keynote campaign
speeches.,

THE South and West are under
the heavy rod of affection. Cy-
clones and floods are devastating the
Mississippi valley. Kansas seems
to be the home of the death-dealing
tornado. From Minnesota to the
gulf the bottom lands of the Missis-
sippi and its great tributaries are
under water. Many of the towns
are crowded with homeless and pen
niless refugees. The loss of life
runs into the hundreds, and the
money losses to tens of millions.
Bradstreet's put the loss in the five
states most seriously affected by the
floods at s32, 900, 900, which includes
damage to railway property, de-
struction of or damage to levees, to
farm buildings, machinery, live
stock ana crops, as well as loss on
other property. Louisiana and Ar
kansas have lost less in this respect
than has been reported, and Illinois
and Missouri probably more. The
losses in Iowa and Kansas have been
exaggerated. 1t will be years be-
fore many sections recover what
they have lost in permanent improve

story, and it comes to us nearly
every year, and it Is that Ohio

Force Bill Is in Evidence.

The force bill is as much part of the
Republican platform as the protective
tariff or any other feature Of it. 1t is
now called bugaboo and other de-
risive names by its authors. 1t is laughed
at and sneered at on all sides. Would
this be its treatment if the platform con-
tanning it should meet with popular in
dorsement next November? 1t might be,
and then again it might not be. In fact
it might, like the tariff issue, be made
more terrible than ever. There is good
reason to believe that this would be the
case, but even if there We're no good
reason for thinking this there is chance
that it would be, and this alone is suffi-
cient to point out to every good man and
every lover of free and independent
government his duty to vote against the
party which brought such an iniquitous
measure into being.-Dallas News.

Mr.. Cleveland's letter of acceptance
treasures every veteran who has been
affected by Republican clamor. The
Democratic candidate for president be-
lieves that the pension roll should be a
roll of honor. The list should not be
contaminated by the names of men who
have no title to the respect and rewards
of the government. AT the same time
it should receive the name of every de-
serving wearer Of the blue. This is the
view taken by the soldiers themselves,
whose contempt for the shirkers and
fraudulent pretenders exceeds that of
any other class Of citizens. Even the
billion dollar congress dared pass again

with them all he feels that his defeat is
assured if one man up on the New Eng
land coast will not come to his help. This
man is advancing in years, broken in
health, bowed down by domestic atilic-

tions of his own to serve. He was de.
feated at Minneapolis by the official
machine which nominated Harrison
over the sentiment Of the party. lie

time he was candidate in a national

against him. And yet, with everybody
else placated. with all the practical

it to a recognition of its duty to its can
