ENFORCE THE LAW.

The spirit Of lawlessnes5 and its coun-
terpart, the extra legal proceedings
resorted to suppress it., are not confined
to the west and south, but are manifested
every now and then in the old and settled
communities of the east. Recently a
band of whitecaps perpetrated gross out
rage in Bucks county, Pa. They were
apprehended and arranged for trial, but
the jury refused to convict them, though
it is said the proofs of the guilt of the &C
cused was clear and ample. This Is the
most recent occurrence Of the kind in
that section, though it is not the only
one of the year by a number.
Of course such things there afford no
paliation for criminality elsewhere The
iynchings that bring disgrace upon the
people Of some of the western and south
ern states, the robbery of railroad trains,
and other deliberate crimes Of violence
where men lightly run the risk of pun
ishment or take into their own hands the
redress of grievances, are in large part
due to the lax execution of laws intended
for the protection of society. More white
cap outrages may be expected in Penn
eylvanla, more lynching in the south,
more train robberies, more murders and
dynamite explosions, untilsentimentality
shall have been chased out of the jury
box and sudden and severe punishment
made to fit the crime.

The procrastinatiou of the senate over
the all-absorbing repeal bill is giving rise
to repeated scandals upon that body and
its members individually. The latest is
TO the effect that certain members are
delaying the vote on the pending bill to
give themselves chance to speculate in
stocks. Some of them, it is said, have
already lined their pockets well. The
story sounds Incredible But it shows
that in trying to maintain senatorial
courtesy" the dignity of the body and of
its members is suffering much worse in
the popular estimation.

Voorhees, on the one side and Sherman
on the other, are blindly walking into
the ditch. and pulling the two parties
after them. The parity humbug is on
parity with the humbuggery about the
Sherman act, and the people know it.
Any man who cannot see that this
is true is certainly blind. The wide
difference in the price Of silver and
gold in tine market is the result Of the
discredit of silver coupled with the de-
mand for gold which is intended to be
made the only standard Of value, and its
scarcity requires reduction Of all values
to the point where gold can control il.
The persistent and blind policy of the
advocates CT single gold standard
means to put more silver into dollar
and it means 10 put more wheat. corn and
all other products into a dollar, and that
dollar is to be gold dollar.
Do you think the people will stand
that and support the party that does il:
Upon this silver question the time has
come for the Republican party to lead
out on the side of justice and fairness.

THE BURNING OF NEGROES AND ITS
CAUSES,

Two remarkable articles in the Oc-
tober Forum, by Bishop Atticus 6. Hay
good and Major Charles FL. Smith (''Bili
Arp"), offer revelations concerning the
crimes of Southern negroes which will
startle Northern readers. Bishop Hay
good, whose article is headed 1.-The
Black Shadow in the South, says point
eddy that lynching is anarchy and an
anachronism. Tie men who burned the
negro at Paris, Texas, he thinks must
have been temporarily insane; yet he
pleads that their insanity was almost ex-
cusable. 'Bill APP" whose scathing
comments justify the heading, Have
American Negroes too Much Liberty!'
disagrees with Bishop Haygood in pro-
testing that over-education Is the cause
Of negro criminality. Fear of negroes,
he declares, has actually driven the
Southern whites from rural communities
into towns; and if negro crime and out
rage continue, some radical change will
have to be made in the laws and the
negro DISTINGUISHED and separate code
enacted that will lit him.

In denouncing the Democracy for
wrecking the old Greenback and Union
Labor parties. the Bourbon county Pop
ulists acknowledged their fears of the
same result for their party. There is no
doubt about it: il Is the history Of De-
mocracy. Whenever that party wants
TO destroy anything it takes it into part
nersbip with il. The result of fusion
between the Populists and Democrats
will in the end be Ike the business pat
nership between the man who had the
capital and the fellow who had the bust
ness experience: at the end of the
business season the latter had the capital
and the former the experience. In other
words, the Democrats in Kansas have
nothing to lose and everything to gain
by fusing with the Pops, and in some
counties and localities the Pops are learn
ing the trick.
