Some of the people Of the South are not

execution of mob justice ON the negro, no
matter how atrocious his crime may be.
For the negro under such circumstances It
has no pity, but 1t has come to the conclu-
sion that the effect on the people Is most
deplorsble. The citizen, ssys the Chron-
icle, has his respect for legal procedure
lowered, and he comes to believe that there

BABEL BUILDING.

We are told that in the early days, when
the whole earth was of one language and
one speech, "they" jourreyed from the
east and found plain in the land of
Shinar. "And they dwelt there and they
said one to another: Go to, let ne make
brick and burn them thoroughly. Aud
they had brick for stone and slime had
they for mortar. And they said: Go to,
let us build US city and q tower, whose
top may reach unto heaven. And let us
make US name lest we be scattered
abroad upon the face of the whole earth"
This was an interesting programme, but
the Lord came down to see the city and
the tower which the children of men
builded. "Aud the Lord said: Behold, the
gusge; and this they begin to do; aud now
nothing will be restrained from them which
they have imagined to do" And the Lord
then confounded their Language and scat
tered them abroad from thence upon the
face of all the earth; and they left off to
build the city.
This happened good many years ago,
and since then tho children of men have
had splendid opportunities to learn some
thing. But they don't appear to have
profted by them to any great extent.
They have never given mp trying to build
Babsls. History is full of the records of
their fruitless experiments. They '"im-
sgine to do" big things in the Babel build
ing line, and just as they get fullest of the
| idea that they are going to have city and
tower that will be exactly what they
want their plans fail and they find them
selves lucky if the magnificent structures
which they have carried high into the air
| do not slGy them In their fall. In these
very days the children cf men in several
countries are suffering from the failure Of
the Babel builders who 'imsgined to do"
astonishing things In financial Babel build
ing. In France the Babel was labeled
Panama. In England 1t was Argentina.
In Spain, Portugal and Italy It was one
thing or another. In this country 1t was
Western mortgages, Endowment Insurance,
Cordage, Whisky, etc, etc. But whatever
the name, the end is the game. The Babel
builders said, 60 to, let us build some
thing that will astonish the natives and
put us up whore we can look down ON the
rest of the world. But while they were
imagining this kind of thing, the Lord, or
natural laws," made other arrangements,
and there Is a condition of affairs very
much like that which prevailed at the end
of the first experiment in Babel building.
There is great confusion OF language, and
some of 1t is very bad language, and the
Babel builders have left IF to build, being
busily occupied in trying to avoid being &c
confounded and scattered that they CAM
find themselves.
It's the same old world. The children
of men can't fly any higher than theil
wings will carry them.

THE STORY DENIED.
Keene Says There Is Nothing In HIS Re-
ported Big Deal In wheat.

New YORK, March 10. James X. Keene
states that he has no interest directly in
any produce either here or in Chicago and
that the story telepraphed from that city
that he was joined with certain parties IN
large operation in wheat is utterly desti-
tute Of truth.
CHICAGO, March 10.-Eggleston, the
cash wheat magnate, is quoted as hav-
ing declared that the market to-day
was demorallzed as a result OF the re-
port of corner in May by James r.
Keene In which the latter hopes 10 re-
coun himself for the skinning he re-
ceived at the hands OF the Chicago
spectators fourteen years ago, when
he left about Sc. 1000, 600 here as souve-
mir OF his experiences with the Board OF
Trade. Mr.. Eggleston claims that this
mornings action was caused by orders
to five leading firms from Duluth
parties to buy 900, 900 bushels OF May
and sell like amount OF July to cover
their big straddle made In this market
some time ago. But there are other
operators who laugh at this and say
Mr.. Keene is selling July with the same
rapidity with which he is taking on his
load Of May, so as to have dumping
ground ready when the shorts have
tripped up 10 the counter and settled
with the cashier.
A dispatch from New York saying
Keene states that he has no interest di-
rectly or jointly in produce was taken
with considerable salt. 1t was recalled
that Harper, OF inglorious memory,
fatty denied that he was doing thing
in wheat until he was under indictment,
and "Old Hutch" always disclaimed any
intention TO corner. 1t is just fourteen
years ago to-day that Keene's famous
message to Archie Fisher was received,
instructing him to purchase 100000
bushels OF wheat. There was a mis-
take somewhere. and instead Of buying
Fisher sold the two million. This
broke the market, and May declined
from O4 to 81 cents. 1t was the climax
OF the great corner, and from that day
Keene, 1t IS said, has been carefully
nursing his wrath.

AGAINST A BOND ISSUE.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle Firm In
Their Opposition to the Plan.

New YORK. March 10.-Referring to
the gold supply and the possible issu-
ance of bonds by the government, the
Washington correspondent OF the Her
aid says:
! A gentleman high In the councils or
the administration says that Mr.. Cleve-
land does not believe the financial situ-
tion at this time is such as 10 make the
issue of bonds necessary, and that Sec
retary Carlisle thinks the issue OF bonds
can be avoided. Tremendous pressure
is being brought TO bear upon the Pres
/ dent and the Secretary OF the Treasury
in favor of the issue OF bonds, but so
far without apparent effect. The ques-
| tion is certain 10 come up at
the next Cabinet meeting and
be earnestly discussed. The choice be-
tween the issuing of bonds and drawing
upon the gold reserve, is one that can
not long be delayed. The .administra-
tion still adheres to. its decision against
the issue of bonds. The President and
Secretary Carlisle are in accord and
there is no reason to believe that there
will be a change Of policy. Captain
MeTeultD, Nulel lOI bne bureau Vi I%n
craving and Printing, was asked II he
had received any intimatien Of the in
tention 10 issue bonds.
"None whatever" be replied, 'and If
there was believed to be any immediate
danger OF such necessity, / should have
received some orders from the Secre-
tary at least to be prepared to rush the
work through. You cannot make steel
plate bonds in a day and If the Secre-
tarY or President feared 1t might be-
come necessary to issue bonds in the
immediate future they would be certain
to prepare for it by getting the work
we'll under way.
