TIME TO 1MpEAcH JUDGE LYNCH.

x
Foreign critics of American Justice
will find abundant material for the ex-
preston Of views in the records of
the past month. These are a few Incl
dents: AT Texarkana, a negro who
committed an outrage was caught by a
mob and burned to a stake within the
city limits; in the oldand we'll populated
city of Memphis a mob Of white men
captured three negroes, m%urderers, took
them into a field and shot them to
death; in the new and enterprising city
OF Fairhaven, Washington, an Indian
was tried and acquitted for the murder
OF a white man, but a party of citizens
gathered to lynch him after the muir
der, and when he escaped in a canoe
they started down the river to intercept
him; the other day a Missouri mob
vent in a court to capture a wife
murderer, but before he was lynched
the brave deputy sheriff who tried to
defend his prisoner was shot through
the heart.
This is indeed a startling retrospect
for the American citizen who brides
himself that he lives in a country where
justice knows neither fear nor favor:
where the statutes of the law are carried
out with stricter regard for equality
than in any land on earth. And yet
every month furnishes record of similar
moi outrages. The community that
permits a lynching reflects on it's judges,
Jurles and courts. By that act they
offer sufficient evidence that no man
can enter the courts with the assurance
that he will receive Justice that is due
him. There were times in the early
history of this newly settled western
country when laWlessness held sway
over courts and %juries, and when for
the protection OF life and property open
air courts were needed. That time long
since passed away in Montana and no
body believes that these conditions exist
In the many localities in the south and
southwest where Judge Lynch's Juris-
diction is SO generally recognized.
The time has surely arrived when for
the protection Of it's W citizens the
Legislatures of several states must use
radical measures to stop this growing
usurpatlon OF its own laws.

HATS OFY TO 1AuHUs

A sport as barbarous and cruel as the
gladlatorial games of Rome, but more
cowardly and degrading; is the Mexican
national game Of bull fighting. 1t is an
institution historic since tho days of
Cortez, and is quite in keeping with the
characteristics of his race. 1t is a one
sided game where the bulls are almost
invariably killed by the matadors who
live IN the glory Of popular heroes, for the
Mexican matador occupies much the
same position as our own national pride,
John l.. Sullivan, except that he is
afraid 10 take chances.
In view of the handicaps which the
bulls suffer it is really refreshing to
read OF a fight in which Taurus was vic
tor. The other day at Guanaluato,
our religious Mexican cousins celebrated
the beginning of Lent with a mugnii-
cent bull fight in which all tho bulls
were killed according to the programme,

for a famous fighting bull. We are told
by the dispatches that he was short and
black, that he walked leisurely into the
ring, giving no attention to the bander-
allos who Haunted the haunting rcd in

Taurus responded BY ripping open a
horse and killing the rider. The other
fellows declined to fight and the animal
was returned to the ranch to be held in
reserve until the Mexican heart grows
stronger.

ments to the bull and regret II inabil-

MIR. CLEyELAND,s LETTER.

Ey-President Cleveland's letter to
General Bragg concerning his candidacy
for president is exactly what we would
expect from him. In a few we'll chosen
words we are given to understand that
his brain is not scheming for the nomina-
ton but that If the democratic conven-
ton asks him to accept the honor
he will accept. When he says Il a n
not bring myself to regard candidacy
for the place as something to be won by
personal strife and active self assertion"
he strikes a sentiment that will find a
hearty response from the majority Of
American citizens. No man who thor
oughly appreciates the greatness and dig
nifty Of the high office of president has
other feelings than those OF disgust for
the energy and self adulatlon exhibited
by several active presidential aspirants.
When General Alger, who is doubtless
. worthy and patriotic citizen, and under
proper conditions might make al ex-
cellent candidate, thrust himself for
ward, loaded his lieutenants with money
and doomed himself in newspaper inter
views, he became an object Of ridicule
before the nation. The same may be
said in different degrees Of other am
bilious statesmen who have flashed
across the political horizon like falling
stars. Senator Hill who has given evi-
dence Of thorough knowledge Of states
maDship and the possession Of more re-
quirements for the presidency than have
been found in most presidents, has nn-
doubtedly injured himself by his open
personal endeayors to secure the nom
nation. The February convention in
New York of which he was the author
thoroughly impressed the people with
his willingness to accept the nomina-
ton. His present tour through the
southern states is more evidence that
he is working personally day and night
for the office.
The American people as a whole do
not like this sort Of thing. They have
no objection to any mans ambitions for
the presidency, but they like to see q
hedge Of manllness and dignity in keep
ing with the office. Al Mr.. Cleveland
writes: The people should be heard in
the choice q their party candidates
and they themselves should make
nominations as directly as consistent
with open, fair and full party ~organiza-
ton and method

Across the Atlantic Proposed by CanucIts
with Great Expectations.
QUEBEC, Aug. l5.-The shortening Of
the transatlantic passage to three
days voyage is the inducement now held
out TO the Canadian government by the
promoters Of the new Labrador rail-
way scheme. The proposal involves
the establishment Of an ocean steam
ship port at Port Marnham, which Ia
situated on St Lewis inlet about sixty
miles north Of the Straits Of Belle Isle.
It Is said that the short crossing be-
tween Port Marnhsm and Milford Ha-
ven, in Wales, could easily be made In
seventy-two hours by the greyhounds
now running between New York and
Liverpool. Port Marnham is mag
nificent harbor, almost entirely land
locked and open for navigation from
seven TO eight months In the year.
II is claimed by the authors Of the
scheme that during the season Of navi-
CATION almost all the mails between Eu-
rope and America, as well as the bulk
OF the passenger trade would follow the
shortest existing route. Public interest
in the scheme has been awakened In
Canada by the publication of the report
of survey for line of railway from
Quebec to Labrador which for Its entire
length is entirely level The entire
length Of the route so far explored Ia
not more than $50 miles and the work

NAPLES, Aug. 15.-The festival Of St.
Anselm was closed at Cesa last evening
with fireworks in the market place. A
bunch Of rockets was set too near a
burning wheel and was ignited. The
rods were driven in all directions
through the crowd, carrying with them
fire and panic. Six men were struck
by the rods and so badly burned that
they died. The sparks set fire to the
light gowns worn by several girls and
before the fire could be extinguished
four OF the girls were seriously In
jured. In the panic many children were
trampled. Seven men suffered fract-
ures Of arms or legs while they were
struggling In the crowd, and some
twenty-five or thirty women were more
or less injured.
