An Indf feasible Outrage.

The Monticello lynching is an outrage
which can neither be justified nor pal
lated.
In this case justice was swift. There
was no delay. The negro rapist was
tried, convicted and sentenced in one
day, ard his execution would have &C.
Cured in the course of IA few days.
Under the circumstances there was
no provocation sufficient to excite
mob and cause the lynching of the pris-
oner. But a number of lawless men
were determined to have hand in the
slaughter of this miserable wretch. They
were not willing to wait Il few days
and see him suffer the penalty of his
crime on the gallows. Their thirst for
blood oyernastered their respect for
law and order, and they made all pos
slbe haste to dispose of their victim.
Governor Atkinson acted with prompt
decision, and his plans to prevent the
lynchng would have succeeded but for
the hot haste of the mob which made
it impossible for the Macon troops to
reach Monticello in time.
We must have no more such Outrages
in Georgia. and in the present instance
the men who peT1eurJed the crime
should he hunted down ana punished.
If the negro had been lyncheG imme-
dately after his capture, or because
there was good reason to apprehend
miscarriage of justice or a prolonged
delay in the courts. we could understand
the Impotence of the lynchors, bat we
can see no shadow of excuse for lynch
ing u prisoner already sentenced -
death. with the galloWs staring him in
the face. II was useless. Il foolish
and wicked crime.

One Way TO Serve the People.

According to III Associated Press dis
patch from Washington. Attorney Gen
eraI Olncy may shortly resign.
He claims that he accepted the office
condftionally. with the understanding
that he would resign if he found the
work too heavy, ana if his law practice
demanded his attention.
Why not resign, then. ut once? No
body is urging Mir. Olney to hold on
and hosts OF democrats think that it
would have been Il blessing if he had
resigned within forty-eight hours after
he was sworn in as attorney general.
This would be one way of serving the
people. and it would earn their gratitude
But why should Olney be the only one
to step down and out?
With the overwhelming verdict OF the

it had been endorsed by the republican
party. Not only the interests of the
party. but the interests of the people.
were ruthlessly sacrificed to the greed
of the money lenders, who were pow
erful enough to command their terms.
The people have had an opportunity
to see that the unconditional repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act was measure wholly opposed to
their interests The law should have
been repealed, undoubtedly, but the re-
pealing act ought TO have carried cut
the solemn pledge of the party TO make
both gold and silver the standard money
of the country. The people can now see
Whit a number of honest democratic
newspapers and leaders told them in
regard TO unconditional repeal was true
that the only effect of it was to in
crease the depression i'm business and
further depreciate prices and values.
The democratic defeat of Tuesday is
due TO the protest of the president
against the financial pledge of his party.
Ii this pledge had been redeemed we
should now have prosperity where gloom
and depression prevail, and all bust
ness and trade would be on the level of
honest returns for honest labor fair
prices and fair profits. The defeat that
was sure when the solemn pledge of
the party was repudiated and the re-
publican policy adopted in its stead, has
been made more overwhelming by the
attitude of the president toward his
party in New York. He repudiated the
most important pledge of the democratic
platform. and Instituted the republican
financial policy. and. TO show his con-
tempt for all precedent, deliberately re-
pUdiated the democracy of New York
the party that made him what he is.
There is a lesson for the democratic
party in Tuesdays result that it will
be compelled TO learn if the organization
is to he held together. II will have to
learn to select as its instruments men
who are known 10 be dcmocratS-men
who have demonstrated their fidelity to
the established principles of the party

they have MIXED it of all the hOnors

weighed in the balance and found want

almost everywhere, would it not be the
proper thing for the president anu his
entire cabinet to resign? The country
has said in very emphatic tones that II
would like to have them get out OF the
way.

popular will and retire 10 private HE.
His associates, from the president down,
would offend nobody by resigning. On
the contrary they would be heartily APP

When Mr. Cleveland abandoned the

gold should be made the standard mon
ey of the country. and induced promi-
ncnt democratic leaders and newspapers
to endorse his course AMI advocate it,
ne gave the party a severer blow than
the republicans ever gave il. 1t is a
blow from which the party viii not re-
cover until il demonstrates its anxiety
to take up the cause of the people rs
against the agpressions of the money
power 1t can only do this by taking
up the silver question and insisting on
its prompt settlement, to the end that
the people may have relief and that
Justice may be done to Ill classes.
Fortunately for the perpetGity of our

power and federal patronage cannot
control the people. They make parties
and they unmakc them.

essary The treasurys income continue:
to fall and the gold reserve, now below
$50, 100000, is daily threatened with exports
of the yellow metal.
Ans, COMING, .iOin republican source,
we naturally take with large grain
of salt, but The Mail and Express, in
printing it, asks: is Cleveland weak
ening?" This inquiry seems to be based
on nothing in particular, being concocted
apparently for the purpose of making Il
catchy headline.
Their, is nothing in the remarks we
have quoted from the influential banker
10 show that Mr.. Cleveland betrays any
symptom of weakening. He urged the
democratic congress, through Mr. Car
Isle, to authorize the secretary of the
treasury TO issue low rate bonds at his
discretion in order 10 maintain the gold
reserve, and if he looks to the adoption
of his plan through the medium of n re-
publican congress. we cannot discover
that this hope OF his, if he holds it. is
any sign of weakness. On the con-
trary. it is sign that if he cannot carry
out his ideas through democratic con-
gress, he will not hesitate to carry them
out through republican congress.
But poor Mr.. Carlisle! Why should
he influential New York banker, OF this
stage Of the game, accuse the secretary
of the treasury of having policy of his
own? 1t is true that Mr. Carlisle START
ed out with IL policy. He caused it TO
be given out that he would exercise his
own discretion in rcdpeming the treas
ury notes of 1890 in silver or gold But
he had no sooner announced this policy
than Rrer Benedict went rushing to
Washington. his hair on end ana CON
sternation imprinted on his manly brow,
and. the next day. Mr.. Cleveland an
nouncPd that the treasury notes Of 1890
would he redeemed in Gold-that the
option of the holder would he regarded
rs superior to the discretion of the
government.
Thus Mr.. Carlisle's policy. which was
based on the soundost principles Of
finance. was nipped in the bud. Since
then he has had no policy of his own.
He simply agrees to what Mr.. Cleveland
says. ana carries out the policy that Mir.
Cleveland proposes.
We are Of the opinion that the influ-
antial banker is treating the bond issue
with a great deal more mystery than is
absolutely necessary For weeks it has
been on the cards, so TO speak. II has
been discussed up and down Wall street
and in MI the financial cepterS of the
east. II has been mooted in the financial
columns Of the big dailios. and al shat
