sons might b disposed to read between the
lines. deem 1t but just to make an explana-
ton. The Different speakers on this occasion
were allowed only seven minutes TO present the
work in the different stAtes Of the West
want nrst to cay that the whole matter was
IN effort at . sensational press dispatch, and the
queer thing about the matter 10 that IL did not
attract any attention at the time in Denver,

do not think there was any reference 70

was no ''consternation on the face OF the audi

members of the council-ln-chief. Beside
this there will be present three repre-
sentatives from the Communicates Of nine
teen states and three from the District Of
Columbia All Of which goes to show that
the military order Of the Loyal Legion Is
quite IN important organization. al
though there are many good citizens
doubtless who never heard Of It. A few
words of explanation therefore will be in
order.

TO son. This is perhaps the nearest
approach to the English system OF
primogeniture which we have in America.
and it is one which has caused some
curious complications. Membership in
tie Loyal Legion being very highly
priced, has been in many cases claimed
by various descendants Of an original
member. In such cases the commander
in chief has been obliged 70 render decis-
ions which stand upon the records. zen:
Sheridan during his term OF ONCE laid
down the following rules. when wiii %
read With surprise by many who are IN
familiar with the order: 0ne case oo-
CURED where . man named Hodges. VINO
had been = companion Of the nrst class,
died, leaving twin sons to inherit hts non
crs. Both claimed membership In the
Loyal Legion, and Gen. Sheridan decided
that the right belonged TO that one OF the
twins who had been born first, ana IN case
IL was impossible TO determine the priority
of the birth, the right TO memoership
must be settled by lot or otnei wise,
but both could not inherit. A brother OF
the half-b!ood cannot inherit from
his halforothe! but an eilgsose omcer

scendans Of the eldest son mu.s oe waived

Ger becomes eligible. Divorce OF the par
ents does not affect the eiiesoiiity o! the
son. nor can any member oil the Loyal
Legion prevent his son from inherising his
eligibility to membership. Nor having
male descendant can he oequeaia such
eligibility to another. These are some OF
the complications which have arisen

A negro was lynched at Decatur, Ill.,. =
city of 10000 people, about 40 miles
from Chicago. ON Saturday last. There is
no denying the fact that lynching by
mobs is growing more common at the
North. and there is no more disposition TO
punish the perpetrators Of these outragcs
than there Is At the South. During the
last i've months there have been nearly rs
many lynchings at the North as were re-
corded in the whole of 1852. During the
last two weeks there have been two lynch
ings in Indiana and one in Michigan.
! Kansas. Iowa and Minnesota have also
been disgraccd by acts Of mob violence.
The Philadelphia Press thinks the chief
reason for this manifestation of lawlcss-
ness is the ease with which murdcrers
escxpe the penalty for crime. II Is ex-
cccdingly difficult to get . presumptive
murderer tried IN Seattle where the prose-
cutting officer recently attempted to ex-
,cnaate his failure to do his whole duty
by saying that the trial of the presump-
tive murderer might prove an unpleasant
eve,,t for various persons who had been
intimate with the accused. OF course
where q prosecuting officer thinks il Is
better that a person accused OF murder
shoald escape legal investigation OF guilt
than that the social atmosphere should be
DISCARDED by trial it will always be easy
TO find excuses Tor making . farce of pub
Tic sustice.
When community finds ont that IL Is
mott difficult TO bring TO justice . muir
dcrfr who has money and influential
fr!ends. IL only needs a murder of especial
a,rgcity 10 let loose a ferocious mob on the
differs of the law. Lynch law is certainly
hcc3ming rife throughout the country.
! an. the crime of murder - increasing out
| Of proportion 10 the growth Of population.
of course. the laws delay IS responsible
for. the failure OF punishment to swiftly
follow cony icaou. but the !eniency shown
by IaEies 10 criminals Is the chief cause
| for the escape of murderers from justice.
Thr fact is. that the average Juror is either
sentimental fool. = corrnp: knave or a
natural born sympaihizer With lawiess-
| ness. The sanctity of property is
something that the average juror can he

then another SET Of lavlsss

. pad matter worse by setting Up the
grim desposis'n Of Judge lynch. There IS
without question an increasing irreve..

TnB PROSPERIrY OF sGArTLE
ASSURED.

By their action st the polls yesterday
the citizens Of Seattle added in round
numbers million dollars in gold coin to
the available resources of the city. 1t is
true that Of this amount six hundred
thousand dollars will Be used to redeem
outstanding warrants. The greater part
IL not ali of this money. however. will be
reinvested in Seattle securities Of one kind
or another and will be used in building up
and developing the city.
The greater part of the $Sa5. 900, however,
voted for the completion of the Lake
Uniois sewer tunnel and for the extension
OF the general sewerage system will be
paid IN wages to the workingmen of the
city. The expenditure of this large amount
Of money will give tremendous impetus
to the prosperity of Seattle.
While these direct and material benefits,
however. are of great importance they are
- nothing compared to the lasting bene-
fits that will be conferred by the grand
vindfsation Of the credit of Seattle at the
hand. Of the people. From this time on
the credit of Seattle should be second to
that Of no other city in the country. The
voters. with practical unanimity, have de-
clared that Seattle shall pay every dollar
Of its just obligations. whether technically
legal or not.
In she midst Of the rejoicing over the
happy outcome Of the bond election. how
ever.it may not be out of place to sound .
note Of warning. From this time on the
Expenditures of the city should be strictly
limited to its income. Economy in mu-
nicipAl government should be the watch
word. The force Of public opinion Is ALL
powerful. and if the people will insist that
the city be run upon sound business prin-
ciples they have it in their power to pro-
mote the era Of prosperity upon which Sc
attle:is now entering.
