SO replete with hints of the days when
Columbus waited for the fall of Ora

beyond the cash collector to the right
is a colonnade running around a cir
cular room covered with tent-shaped
roof. The ceiling and walls are
covered with landscape views in south
ern Spain, and a mandolin orchestra
carries out the idea Of an Andalusian
garden Then comes a labyrinth of
columns and mirrors. the details of the
columns being reproductions from the
Alhambra.
Still beyond the labyrinth and to the
left is the palm garden, with loungiug
places for 300 visitors, Moorish or
chestra hidden by a group of palms,
Arab attendants in native costume
and other accessories of a Moorish
scene. Grottoes and fountains illumi-
mated by electricity and groups of
statuary illustrating famous historical
events are also to be seen.

are as many white men lynched. in
proportion 10 the criminal population,
as negroes. According to these fig
urc, in one year there were even more
whites lynched than negroes.
The recent bulletin of the census,
classifying crime by color, is most
interesting document An analysis of
the figures gives most surprising re-
suit. and would give some most valua-
BILE information TO many philosophers
upon the negro problem. The classifi-
cation in both the bulletins is very
thorough. A comparison shows that
the prevalence Of crime among the
negroes is out Of all proportion TO
their numbers. Taking imprisonment
as the basis of estimate, the bulletins
show that in 1890 there was q ratio
Of one prisoner 10 each 30s OF the Afri-
can population, while the white race
showed one prisoner To 047 of the pop
ulation, including foreign and native
elements. And this proportion does
not apply to crimes of lesser gravity
alone. In 1890 the negroes formed
somewhat less than one-eighth Of our
population, though chey contributed
no less than 81 per cent Of our homi-
cides.
But your average northern philoso-
pher would immediately reply that
this would Indicate nothing; for, says
he, the negro does not get justice in
the South. He is arrested and inn
prisoned without mercy, while the
white man escapes If this be true
then an analysis of the statistics for
I the North Atlantic States would prove
/ ii. But a careful comparison of the
4 two bulletins shows that in the North
Atlantic division Of the census, includ-
ing New England, New York, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, there is one
negro criminal to every 49, Of the negro
! population in 1890, and that there was
one prisoner to $50 whites.
This showing is twice as bad as the
/ South. 1t does not indicate that the
negroes who migrate North are SC
much worse than the negroes of the
South, but indicates that the number
of offenses for which men are impris
oned in the North is larger than the
4 South.

cause they are black. II is asserted
that as fact, the South is yet in
state Of partial barbarism; that il con-
dones murder and approves OF lynch
ing, which gratifies passion and saves
the expense Of courts and prisons.
Is this a fact? Certain it is that
lynching is too common in the South,
and for that matter throughout the
whole nation, ! would distinctly say
that believe that lynching is in every
sense disgrace TO civilized nation.
The uncertainty that attends such ex-
ecution is horror inexpressIble.
The possibility of numbering an in
noeent man through the passion of a
mob sends chill to the heart of hui
manity. But as for that matter, the
possibility Of legal execution OF an
innocent man is likewise an unspeal-
able horror And there is just about
as much uncertainty attending legal
executions as upon the average execu-
ton by lynch law in the South. II we
take such case as that Of Carlyle w.
Harris, who has been sentenced TO
death, having been duly convicted by
n jury, We have a fair illustration of
the fact that with ali the possible
/ light thrown upon such cases. by long
delay and the most careful judicial in
vestigation. there is still an element Of
great uncertainty. Whether this young
man Is guilty or not the world does
not know; and how jury could agree
\ upon the evidence in the case for one
do not see.
( For this reason among others ] might
say In the beginning that do not be-
licrc Ia capital punishment do not
Z believe that ii is the true remedy for
I homicide.
\ We have in America on an average
/ two hundred lynchings every year and
I about one hundred legal executions
The ma jority Of these lynchings are in
the South perhaps 80 per cent OF
h them This is an uumitigated dis
grace II is disgrace 10 the South.
4 II is disgrace 10 the nation. II is a
1 disgrace to humanity.
But the question to which we adj
dress ourselves is one that affects the
attitude Of the races Is il true that
the negro is lynched because he is a
negro? do not believe there is one
word OF truth in the statement
Negroes are not lynched because OF
their color; they are lynched for crime.
Bishop Fitzgerald has well said, in re-
ply 10 this assertion, that "the white
man Ia the South who is guilty of the
same crime meets an awful doom as
swiftly as does the black man. 1t is
notable that in ali the spasms of in
dignation against the Southern people
because of these lynchings no word OF
sympathy has been spoken for the
white women who were the victims

punitv, in what community would go
TO commit that deed? One thing is
certain. ! would not go South. fl
should kill man in North Carolina
the chances are that would be hung
for the deed. I certainly would not go
to Texas. should expect to be swung
10 limb in short order out there.
The fact is, would not dare to choose
either a Southern or Western State
in which to commit murder
Where would l have the highest
number of chances for escape? If
desired to commit this high crime,
with the best chances for going I'M
punished, should choose New York
city as the field for operation.
In the South there is public senli-
ment which is omnipotent, which is
fearful in its vengeance when driven
by such awful crimes. But it is SEN
timent that indicates deep and abid-
ing respect for law and order, and the
rights of every ragged waif in the
streets are high and holy before that
august court of the communal senti-
ment The poorest child of the streets
would arouse that sentiment as quick
ly as the child of the rich and the
strong. If YOU wish to find commu-
nifty in which murder and crimes of
similar rank are cnndoned You will
mot 60 South or West You will search
in the great centers of our civic life,
and there you will find the darkest
spots to-day on the American conti-
nent.
The picture of lynehing has an UNI
speakable horror. but the picture Of
the victim Of the crime which that
lynchiug symbolizes is more unspeak-
able in its horror II does not india
cate collapse of law. 1t indicates a
collapse Of the machinery for the en-
| forcement of law. Law has its source
| in the heart of the community. Lynch
law is justified-if capital punishment
1 Is justified Mt all---in two cases. First,
\ when there is no law statutory, and,
second, when the law cannot be en-
| forced. The fact that we have 1000
! murders and 100 legal executions in n
year indicates that our legal machinery
for enforcing law against homicides is

form of our laws and the methods Of
legal procedure in such cases 1t must

/ that the crime of rape in the South, as
well as burglary, is classed among the
capital offences. The great number OF
negroes who are lynched are lynched
for this first awful offence, which, in
my opinion, forfeits the life of tine
criminal ten times over as compared
with homicide. Such is the sentiment
universal of the South.
The question of lynching, let me re-

crime, and the collapse of legal pro-
