The republican papers OF the north lose
/ no opportunity TO comment upon instances
| OF lawlcssness in the south. They strive
/ apparently TO create the impression that
1 lawlessness exists only in the south. If
any one of them has made much Of the two
/ lynchincs that occurred in Indiana a few
days aCO-One at Seymour and the other
at Bcdford-the fact has escaped our no
ticc When white capism prevailed to an
alarming extent awhile ago in Indiana
and Pennsylvania the republican papers
had comparatively little to say about law
lessness in those states.
But how were white caps at Brook
haven, Miss, dealt with recently? A
band of them attempted to rescue some
prisoners while court was in session, and
they were confronted by the judge, who
called the citizens together and repulsed
them. The state militia was called upon
for assistance and the result was that the
leading white caps of that section are
now in the penitentiary. Last week
twenty white caps were sent to the peni-
Tertiary from Avoyelles parish, Louis
lana Have any of the white caps who
lynched prisoners at Bedford or Sey-
mour, Ind, been convicted? Have any of
them been arrested, or has any attempt
been made to arrest them.
We offer no excuse for lynchings in the
south, or for lawlessness of any kind.
We condemn it, and intend to do all we
can to prevent 1t. The governor of this
state has announced his purpose to use
his power to the utmost to punish every
person who participates in a lynching.
But we object to having the south held
up as a lawless section by northern news
papers that say little or nothing about
the lawlessness in theirOw section. They
are not frank enough to admit that they
have at their very doors what they con-
denim in the south They try apparently
to draw attention from the sore spots in
their own states by pointing to those in
the southern states.
The action of the authorities of Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana is to be com
mended. We suggest that the authori-
ties of Indiana profit by it, and hope that
the northern papers will tell their readers
that there is no excuse for them to con-
denim lawlessness in the south while law
lessness in the north is rampant and law
breakers are unpublished.

Had Chosen the Wrong Auditor.

Il was travelling from Chicago to Denver
several weeks ago" remarked young Ne
braskan to a New York Herald man, when
there came into the car and sat beside me
sanctimonious individual whom 1 thought
looked particularly gullible. He was dressed
in gray and was evidently-so, at least 1
thought-some itinerant clergyman. Well, 1
was feeling pretty good and to while away
the time l started in by telling him some of
my western yarns. He was very courteous
and listened to my hairbreadth escapes and
Indian stories with evident interest. That he
believed every word uttered 1 didn't for one
moment entertain doubt. He finally asked
me Where L lived and 1, selecting town in
Idaho at random, replied that my home was
at Arrowv1lle; that l was born there, in fact.
l had but Just returned, / told him, from a
German university, where l had taken a
course IN mining engineering He appeared
very much interested and I went on to tell
him more about myself. My father, 1 contin-
ued, had settled in Arrowville early in the
Dos, had stolen young Indian squaw after
killing her buck, had married her, and was
the result of the union.
" You hardly appear to have had an Indian
mother. he remarked, glancing at my blonde
hair and light complexion. l thought he was
growing more interested, so / continued to
pile it on.
My father said I, is the owner of the
Red Dog mine, and is, 1 suppose, worth as
much money as any man in the territory. He
really quilt the town, you know, or rather you
would know If you should ever happen to stay
In that town over night
My companion looked me over scrutiniz-
1ngly, and l continued: Why, there's the
town OF Shasta, near Arrowville. 1t was
raided by the Indians four yeats ago. They
had an awful fight over there assure you.
My father alone killed a half dozen of the
painted devils with his trusty rife A great
town is Shasta. Bound to be a metropolis
some day. There's an English syndicate
going to invest several millions of dollars in
land in that vicinity Here" continued the
speaker, my friend in gray looked out of the
window and an amused smile stole over his
features. Finally, turning toward me and
looking me squarely in the eyes, he re-
marked:
1t is very strange young man, that have
never heard of any of these things before. 1

Apologizing to the Bear.

With the Navajo Indian the bear holds the
very first rank among beasts, says the Youths
Companion. According to the credulous saw
age, this wisest and most powerful of brutes
even surpasses man. There is only one case
in which a Navajo Indian will NEEDLE with
him, and this, says Charles f. Lummis, is
when he has killed a Navajo. and the Indians
know exactly which bear is the murderer.
Then strong, armed party, headed by the
proper medicine men, proceed to the bears
cave. Hating a short distance in front of the
den. they go through strange service of
apology which would seem ludicrous to us,
but which to them is unutterably solemn
The praises of the bear, commander of
beasts, are loudly sung, and his pardon is
humbly invoked for the unpleasant deed to
which they are now driven. -.....
Having duly apologized beforehand they
proceed TO kill the bear, and then 60 home to
fast and purify themselves.
Their greeting is -...t
Il beg your pardon, and hope you will bear
no resentment, but we are compelled to kill
you" which is quite as funny as the phrases
of an old New Hampshire farmer, who was
none too polite to his wife, but always ad-
dressed his oxen thus:

Palmetto for Tanning Purposes.

The formation of the leather trust with
a capital of S12O, 100000 will have the eff
feet of calling attention to the saw pal
metto for tanning purposes. The trust, it
is said, controls about rs per cent. of the
output of bark in this country and Canada
that is fit for tanning purposes, and
having the tanneries, it is in a position to
control the price of leather.
Mr.. Warrand, of this city, has series
of articles in the Shoe and Leather Re
view, in which he maintains that the saw
palmetto answers admirably for tanning
purposes-that, in fact, it produces a more
desirable leather than bark. He has faith
in his palmetto tanning process, and has
a tannery at NARROW, in Effingham county,
where several hundred hides are now
being tanned by his process.
If he succeeds in satisfactorily demon
strating that the palmetto will answer
for tanning purposes the demand for bark
will greatly diminish and the leather
trust will not be able to control the
leather market The palmetto can be OBJ
tanned much more cheaply than bark
and, besides, the refuse is very val
liable, because it can be used for making
bagging, paper and various other ar
ticles.
According to his estimate ton of pal
metto can be laid down in Savannah for
about s. a ton, while ton of oak bark in
Boston is worth S2S, and the refuse bark
is valuelcss.
Assuming that Mr.. Warrand is on the
right track, what is to hinder Savannah
from becoming the center of great tan
ming industry He says that Savannah
has more advantages for tanning with
palmetto than any other city. That be
ing the case tanneries may soon be located
in Savannah or its immediate vicinity.
Several Savannahians arc already inter
ested in Mr. Warand's process, and they
are only waiting for the result of the ex-
pertinent that is being made at NARROW
If that is successful steps will be taken
at once to establish tanneries in Savan-
nah.
Mr.. Warrand, himself, is convinced of
the success of his process, but he wants
to convince leather dealers that what he
has been writing in the Shoe and Leather
Review is correct in every particular
When he puts leather on the market
made by his process he will have no difi-
Guilty in getting dealers in leather to give
his process such an Endorsement that he
will be able to carry out his plans in re-
gard to il.

a Sad Story of Real Life.

A pitiful story in real life is that of Freder-
ick Walters, an old German lens polisher of
Philadelphia, and his crazy old wife The
old man, after suffering fortunes from cancer
of the stomach, died two weeks ago while sit.
ting in a chair near a window. From the mo-
ment of his death until the discovery was
made a few days ago that he had died the de.
mented wife had placed the same plate of
victuals on the table before him day after day.
When in the end she was told that her hus-
band was dead, she replied, Get the ashman
and take him away In the ash Darrell The
old wOmans mind became impaired few
years ago, at the death of her only daughter.
and she spent her time sitting at an open win
dow waiting for her child to come back A grue-
some and pathetic picture must have been
that of the old husband dead sitting at one
window with untouched meal beside him, and
the old wife sitting at the other window, gaz-
ing out wistfully for the back coming of her
dead daughter.

A Bad Case,

Once was assistant to an elderly doctor in
Ontario, who also ran a drug store, says a
writer in the Chemist and Druggist. He was
as peppery as a cayenne pod, and from time
TO time customers and patients sprung Jokes
on him Just for the fun of hearing him blow
off. On one occasion awell-dressed young fel-
low called at the shop and asked the doctor
to prescribe for breaking out and rash on
his left arm. The doctor examined the lirnb
and pronounced it to be bad case of psoria-
sis and eczema.
Il suppose, doctor, you can cure it?" said
the patient.
Why, certainly" replied the doctor,

Democratic Policy.

The cob of the tide of ofice-seekers at
Washington has given the congressman
and democratic leaders at the capital an
opportunity to think of and discuss the
financial policy to be pursued at the ap-
preaching session of congress. Several
quiet but important conferences on that
question have been held recently, it is re-
ported, and by the time of the assembling
Of congress it is expected a definite pro-
gramme of procedure win have been de-
tcrmincd on. An observer of the political
drift has concluded that the democratic
situation may be thus summarized:
The movement in favor of the repeal of
the Sherman silver law is believed to be
increasing in strength daily. 1t is as
serted by friends of the repeal that the
anti-silver recruits made since the ad-
ioUnment of congress more than Offset
the additions which the free coinage peo-
pie have counted upon among the new
members elected last fall.
1t is said that the popularity of the
repeal of the tax on state banks is also on
the increase, among both southern and
western men. Many southern men who
have heretofore been counted among the
friends of free coinage now look with
favor upon state banks as the means of
increasing the circulation, and would be
willing to vote for repeal of the Sherman
law without agreement as to another
silver measure, if they had assurance of
the repeal of the state bank tax
In connection with the suggested in
come tax, there are three things to be
considered; the receipts from customs,
receipts from internal revenue and the
possible repeal of bounties and subsidies.
If, when these things are taken into ac-
count, it shall be found that other sources
of revenue are needed, the opinion is that
an income tax will find favor as a means
of supplying the deficiency The views
outlined are held by Representatives
Breckenridge, Oates, McMillin and others.
They are cOncurred in by Representative
Smith, of Arizona, except as to silver.

The. proper size of a lawyers fee is often
difficult TO define. In the majority of
cases the lawyer sizes the clients pile and
lets it go at that. But sometimes that is
not practicable. Such was the case in an
instance in New York recently. Lawyer
W. G. De Witt, acting for Kings county
against a bank, secured a judgment sus-
tanning the validity of certain bonds to
the amount of $500, 600, and claimed fee
of 500, 900. Before a referee ex-Secretary

nent legal lights testified that the charge
