Report Of Another Japanese Victory, But
1t Lacks Confirmation.
LONDON, Aug. ia private telegram
from Yokohama says that seven Chinese
vessels were sunk in a recent engage.
ment with the Japanese. This report
lacks confirmation and probably arose
from the statement received here
from Yokohama that news had
been received there of the bat
tie which took place OH the 11th
between China and Japanese fleets,
and the Chinese were driven off. In
quiries made at the Japanese legation
here fail to obtain confirmation Of the
report.

Instructions to Campaign Speakers.
A few days ago the MORNING NEWS
suggested that IL would be advisable for
Chairman Clay TO instruct the campaign
speakers Of the Democratic party TO give
more attention TO state matters, and less
10 national politics. Mr.. Clay, ie seems,
thinks the suggestion a good one. In
conversation with a reporter Of the At
lanta journal he is reported as saying:
1T seems TO me that our speakers should
devote more attention TO state issues than
to national questions. We have gov
ernor aud members of the legislature TO
elect, ana yet very little. indeed, is being
said upon the government of the state. 1t
is emineutly proper to discuss the tariff
and the financial questions in speaking for
the congressional or the senatorial candi-
dates, but it is certainly of more impor-
lance in speaking for the governor or
members Of the legislature to talk upon
state matters. II would be of great i'm
port2nce 10 tell the people how the demo
Gratis have run the government Of Geor-
gia, how much money they have spent,
and whether or not they have benefited
or impoverished the state"
There is sound sense in the foregoing.
1t is expected of course that the candi-
dates for senator will discuss national
affairs, but why should the candidates
for state offices, and the other speakers
" no are engaged in state campaign work,
conhne themselves almost exclusively to
the tariff and silver. The people would
like to hear something about matters per-
tanning to the affairs of the state
They would like to have the proposed
amendments 10 the constitution discussed
and the necessity for keeping the Demo
cratic party in control of the stated pre-
scented. They would like to hear the convict
lease system and the public school system
ventilated, and they would like to have
the question as to whether it is advisable,
in view of the falling of in the total of
the taxable values, to have better as
sessment law.
There are many questions connected
with state matters in which the people
are profoundly interested, and concern
ing which they would like to have an ex-
preston of views from those who are to
make and administer the laws during the
next two years. 1t would not be advisa-
Bile, of course, for the speakers to have
nothing whatever to say about national
politics, but it is certainly mistake in
campaign for state officers to discuss only
national affairs. .....

MeddlinR EneIishmen.

There must be a good many English
men out of Job. Those of them who
have come to this country TO in
vestigate lvnchings for the purpose
of denouncing them could have found
many things at home to investigate and
denounce. as pointed out by Gov Northen
in his dispatch to the New York World
The English are a curious people. They
are never happy unless they are med
ding with something that doesn't concern
them, and they are so constituted that
they fail 10 see the evils for which they
are responsible
Here in the south we are able to do our
own investigating and denouucing of
lynchings, and we do investigate and de-
nounce them. Gov Northen is justly
indignant at the presumption of those
Englishmen who have taken it upon
themselves to do the investigating and
denouncing, because they act upon the
presumption that lynchings in this country
are confined TO the south and that the
southern people approve them.
AT this time the grand jury Of Shelby
county, Tennessee. is engaged in investi-
eating a lynching that recently occurred
in that county, ana it has already
indicted a number of the lynchers.
As we have pointed out a number Of
times lynching in the south is to some ex-
tent excused for only one crime, and that
crime is such heinous one that it is diff
ficult to get the people 10 let the law take
its course in respect to those who are
guilty of it. We are confident that for
the same crime the offenders would be
lynched in London or any other part of
England
The English committee will, of course,
be afforded every opportunity TO make the
investigation in which many Of the En-
glish people have suddenly taken such
profound interest. They will be disap-
pointed. They seem to think the whites
of the south do little else than lynch the
blacks. When they find out the truth
they will be inclin ed to think they have
visited this country on a FOOLS errand.
The number of lynchings is COMPARE
lively small and no black men are
lynched who are worth anything to the
community in which they live. Those
who are lynched are brutes, whom even
the people of their own race despise. The
decent and self-respecting colored people
stand in no fear of lynch law and they
are inclined to believe that the world is
better off without those who are lynched
Still, lynchings meet with very little
favor in the south, and they will be
stopped altogether in the very near fu-
ture. There is a strong public sentiment
against them-a public sentiment that
will soon bring about the needed reform.
In the meantime let it be understood
that lynchings are not confined to the
southern states. The people of the east
and west are as quick as those of the
south to deal out swift punishment upon
blacks who assault white women.
When Englishmen get through with
their investigation they will not be so
anxious to denounce lynchings as they ap-
pear to be now, provided they make an
honest investigation.

The Price of Wool.

The Jesup Sentinel thinks we are igno-
rant in respect to wool, because, in call
ing attention to the fact that there has
been a slight advance in the price of that
article since the passage of the Wilson
bill, we took occasion to say that the Ohio
Wool Growers Association was somewhat
surprised that the bottom had not dropped
out of the price of wool on the passage of
the bill. 1t may be we are ignorant. If
we are, we shall not object to being set
right by the Sentinel
1t is fact that the price Of wool has
improved since the passage of the Wilson
bill, and if we are not mistaken, it is
fact also that the protectionists declared
the price of wool would fall greatly if
wool were put on the free list.
1t is true that the price of wool was
very low for months before work was be-
gun on the Wilson bill. The Sentinel
says it was low because it was believed
wool would be put on the free list. That
is an assumption by the Sentinel. We
think the Sentinel is mistaken. 1t was
low because there was so little demand
for it. Had there been demand for it
the price of it would have kept up. The
prospect that it might be put on the free
list at some future time could not have
knocked the price of it down more than
a third if there had been an active de-
mand for it.
AS matter of fact the price of wool
began to fall soon after the Mckinley
tariff was enacted. a glance at the mar
ket reports win show that The McKin-
ley tariff had bad effect on wooden
manufacturing, and when hard times
came the mills were practically shut
down. Hence the price of wool went
down.
The Wilson tariff opened a brighter
prospect for the wooden mills, and, hence,
the price of wool began to rise.
We do not think we were mistaken in
what we said about wool, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Sentinel does not
agree with US. The farmers may not get
as much for their wool as they have in
the most prosperous times of the past,
but free wool will give them cheaper
blankets, cheaper hats. and cheaper cloth
ing. What they will lose in one way
they will make up in another.
