MOB LAW

An angry. blood-thirsty mob at
Denmark, S. c., deliberately mur-
cerec John Peterson, colored man,
because Henry Williams. charged
with an assault. escaped them. The
girl whom he was accused of assault
ing declared that Peterson was not
the man, but in the face of her de-
clara'ion the mob put him to death
protesting his innocence. he News
and Courier commenting on the hor-
,ible affair says:
''The Governor of South Carolins,
in his inaugural address on Decem
ber 4, 1890. said: "With all of the
machinery Of the law in our hands,
with every department OF the gov
ernment-executive, legislature and
iudicial-held by white men, with
white juries, white solicitors, white
sheriff., it is simply infamous that
resort should be had to lynch law,
and that prisoners should be murder
ed because the people have grown
weary of the laws delay and of its
inefficient administration. Negroes
have nearly always been the victims,
and the confession is blot on our
civilization.
The Chattanooga Times says
When will this blot be wiped away?
How long can country endure that
toleIates this kind of infernalism?
Starting out with the professed
purpose of avenging a crime, the
self-appointed avengers ended by de-
liberately committing crime. Starts
ing out with the object of killing a
brutal criminal, they ended by kill :
ing presumably innocent man.
Their passions once aroused, they
must kill somebody Disappointed
in their desire to kill man who was
positively identified as the one they
were in search of, they killed the
next one of the same color who fell
into their hands, rather than suffer
second disappointment

A RAIN RUINED REVIEW.
1t Was a Very Bad Pay for the
Naval Show.
THOUSANDS DISAPPOINTED,
But Thousands of Others Braved the
storm and Lined The Heights to
See tho Great Array of
War Vessels in Line.

New YORK, April 2S.-All New York
awoke to find steady downpour Of rain
ushering in the day of the great naval
pageant.
The chilly northeast wind added dis
comfort, and some hundred thousand
people who had arranged to view the
grandest marine spectacle ever present
ed in American waters we're disap-
pointed
The rain, however, did not keep all at
home. There was steady stream to-
ward the North river all the morning
and hundreds Of excursion boats, steam
yachts, tugs and other crafts were filled
with sightseers who were kept at home
by the disagreeable weather Other
crowds who sought places along the
on top of buildings and at Riverside
park, plodded through the mud and
stood in pools Of water with umbrellas
and macintoshs, keeping out portions of
the water.
Cleveland and His Cabinet.
At 1890 o'clock the signal boat Cush-
ing, started out, and, running alongside
each vessel in line, carried the informa-
tion that the review was postponed un-
til p. m. The postponement was or
dered by Secretary Herbert at the sug-
gestion of the president of the excur-
sion. The steamers put back to the
docks and there was much grumbling
by the passengers. President Cleveland
and cabinet were driven from the Vic
toria hotel to the foot Of West Twenty
third street shortly after l o'clock,
where the president went aboard the
Dolphin.
A Salute to the President.
There was a ruhie Of drums, and the
Marine Guards presented arms At the
same instant the presidents flag was
broken from the main truck and the
Dolphin's saluting battery fired q guns
The members of both houses of con-
gress and other invited guests went
aboard the coast survey steamer Blake,
and the members of the diplomatic
corps boarded the steamer Monmouth
The Duke de Veragua and suite were
on the General Meigs. These boats
took position back of the Dolphin.
The Dolphin fired signal gun as she
tripped anchor, and from way down the
parallel lines of vessels came a response
from one Of the Miantonomek' 10-inch
guns At this signal the fleet went to
quarters and all hands We're inreadiness
to salute the president as he passed.
The Dolphin then steamed up mid
way between the two columns of the
fleet and anchored just above the head
of the column.
AS the Dolphin passed each vessel
fired salute Of 21 guns.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

The Manufacturers Record says: De-
spite the tariff bill, which threatens serious
injury to many industries, but which will
never, We believe, be passed in its pres
ent shape, there is a gradual improve
ment seen in business interests, and 1894
will doubtless show a fair degree of pros
perity throughout the country, and es.
peCially In the South. With the tariff
bill out Of the way and all fear Of such
unwise legislation removed, we would
soon see a period Of great activity and
prosperity, but even as matters stand the
outlook is becoming more hopeful,
There is good reason, therefore, for a
Merry Christmas, for there are signs
that ere long many Of the hundreds OF
thousands of now idle hands will again
find employment.

A fraudulent pensioner has become a

AND MONEY

In times when there 10 general strin-
gency In the money market, when green
backs are scarce, and when the shining
coin languishes in the secret strong box
or the bottom Of the stocking, it behooyes
US, says the New York Sun, TO look about
Us for comfort and consolation. To whom
could We better turn than to the doctor,
always our solace in severe affection, for
the balm to soothe the wasting ailment of
our pocketbook?
In this instance, as in others, the ply.
stefan is not found wanting. 1t is true
that he does not prescribe tonics for its
relaxed condition, nor does he offer a
dietary to overcome its atrophY. But h.
consoles by teaching US that money is
hurtful and dangerous, and that we are
much better off without 1t. Let US ponder
upon his wise statements as based on he
researches Of two biologists.
DR.. ACosTA and DIR. RossI, of Havana,
have made a psychological analysis OF
banknotes Of the Spanish bank of Havana
in general circulation. 1t was found by
careful calculation that ~banknotes in
crease In weight by usage. The accre-
ton would seem TO be In exact proper
ton to the rapidity of circulation, as if
each hand in their passage from one in
dividual to another left upon them some
little personal mementO in the way of
dust or spot or stain. A careful exami-
nation of these induces of progress led to
the discovery that germs were among the
ingredients of such accretions. On two
banknotes the scientists were enabled to
| detect and count bacteria to the number
of 1917. They were Of different va
~rieties. Eight species of pathogenic or
disc reproducing germs were found, and
among these were the streptococcus of
erysipelas, the bacillus of diphtheria, and
| the bacillus of tuberculosis. One of the
microbes which could not be identified as
belonging to any of the ordinary forms
of contagious disease, was yet proven to
be dangerous, for when injected into the
circulation Of lower animals, death
speedily followed.
We have, many of us, long had the
idea that there was something offensive
about old and soiled ~greenbacks, but
science has never before demonstrated
so conclusively a cause for our natural
| and instructive aversion. The less, then
we have to do with money, the better.
| Currency of all kinds acts as a carrier OF
communicable diseases. 1t is not pleas
ant to think that the almighty dollar,
apotheosized by so many, purveyor Of 80
many benefits, prodigal Of such quaint
ties of good gifts, should after all be an
agent for the dissemination of small pox,
consumption, diphtheria, measles, vel
low fever, and numerous other cOnta
| gious and infectious diseases. Let US
| soak our coins in corrosive sublimate
and bake our greenbacks in the kithen
oven Or, if there are difficulties in the
way of household antiseptics, let US
empty our wallets on the table of the
family physician, telling him to slay the
germs, subtract a liberal percentage for
his services, and return to US what may
be left after the process, in as germ proof
a condition as possible He will doubt
less guarantee asepsis in what he gives
back,
