A TOO FREE COUNTRY.

Some legislators from the South are
trying to repeal the federal election
law which is the only safeguard to an
independent, honest vote on the cleo
ton of president that the South has.
These same repealers claim that there
is no discrimination or outrage in their
section of a supposedly civilized coun-
try. But the records of the brutalities
and disregard of law during the past
week must set every right thinking
man wondering as to what kind of bar
barism he is part of. At Columbus,
Miss, five negroes were shot to death
by mob in the very jail wherein they
were confined on suspicion of having
burned some barns. A negro in Mis-
souri, was lynched on suspicion of hav-
ing committed criminal assault. On
Sept. II, almost within the limits Of
New Orleans, three negroes were hanged
because they were suspected of aiding
their own brother, murderer, to es-
cape from the mob. Because he would
not or could not show where the MUIR
derer was, another negro was kicked to
death by the same gang.
Is this the last decade of the nine
teenth century? Are Missouri, Ala
bama, New Orleans parts of a boastedly
free land? Did the North spend bill
lion of treasure and million of lives
to break the material shackles of slavery
from off the negroes to surrender them
to the ungoverned, unlawful brutality
of worse than savages? Instead of
abolishing federal election laws the
men of America should make those
lawless districts bristle with federal
bayonets till every traitor to the ma
tiOn's good name were hanged. O
Lincoln. O ye myriad martyrs to a
forgotten cause! Arise from your
wasted graves and arouse in this peo-
pie the knowledge that they are not yet
nation whose humblest citizen can
rest assured of life and liberty under
the supreme shadow of his nations

From cut and article in the Home
Guard for Sept we learn that the city
of Providence, R. l., has put itself on
record as having the most complete
idiot or most heartless man as Judge.
Two babies eight and nine years old
were fined S23.5O for "malicious mis-
chief Being of very poor parents,
justice could not be satisfied by the
payment of the fine, so Providence's
Justice Shallow committed the chill
dren to the county Jail.
Every father and mother throughout
the land should give voice to scornful
adherence of such heartless idiocy.
None know of the debasing horrors of
prison life except those who have been

Intoxicating drink in this country. But
we also know that as long as liberty is
liberty, that it would be just as sensi-
BILE to form political party whose sole
