Lynch in the South.

Chicago Daily News.
A great deal of feve1ed comment is
being INDUCED in just now by certain
newspapers over the published records
OF the lynchings in the South. For the
year past, according to the figures, 200
wretches suffered death at the hands of
mobs. 1t is a barbarOus acknowledge
ment to make and a shame TO q Christ
ian land.
But do the lynchinCs in the south in
dlcate any greater 1awlessness than
may be found nearer home? 1t is not
sought to justify or palliate lawlessness
anywhere but it would seem that right
here IN Chicago facts are at hand to
show that less regard is paid to the TAX
ing OF human life by violence than per-
haps any other spot in the world. But
the work of slaughter must be done by
the railroads, and, while the killing of
a human being under car wheels is no
whit less hOrrifying than the mob ex-
ecution of the south, there is this differ
ence-the victim of the halter is some
times guilty, while the other nnfortu-
nate is always innocent.
The figures speak for themselves. In
the south, out of a population of some
Q 100000, there were 200 men put To
death there by mobs last year. In Chi
cago, with a population of. say, less
than 100000, there were 431 persons
put to death by the railways. Why
shouldn't human life be as sacred in
Chicago as it is in the south 7

with a shout of joy by the friends of
popular freedom all over the world as
another vindication of their reliance in
seif-government. 1t will restore the
faith and confidence of our own people
IN themselves and in their institutions.
Above all things it will restore a sense
OF responsibility to the people among
public officials, something that has been
wanting in this State for a long time.
All these blessings and many more
can be secured by our legislators at
Baton Rouge. They have it in their
power now to secure this generation
and the next against a corrupt ballot
and ring rule. The opportunity may
never be offered again. Conditions
may change in one short year.
W. believe that you gentlemen of the
Legislature appreciate all these facts
and arguments and that you will show
your supreme loyalty to your state.
The press and the people are looking to
you and you will not disappoint them.
The Picayune Of the 22d, in an earnest
and able editorial in favor of a reformed
election law, charges that there are ru-
mors at Baton Rouge that the bill will
be killed by unnecessary delay and that
many who publicly favor ballot reform
are privately working against it, play
ing for position and doing all they can
to thwart what they profess to adyo-
cate. Can this be true? w are too
much in earnest in this matter to sus-
pect the good faith Of others. We will
not believe it. We feel that the Legis-
lature is almost unanimous in favor of
electoral reform and we will not be-
lieve that there are hypocrites and trail
tors enough to defeat it until you ad-
journ sine die without passing an honest
law. If you do this, it makes
difference what else You do, how
many pet schemes you pass, how many
local measures you enact, how many
articles of the code of practice or of the
Constitution you amend, you will be
.isgraced and dishonored. A curse
will light upon your homes and you
will have erected a monument to your
own infamy!
The Opelousas courier., 1894-06-02

A number of excellent bills have been
offered in the legislature which indicate
thought and intelligence on the part of
our Legislators. A number of these i'm i.
portant bills should pass. But We sub
init to these intelligent gentlemen that
they should not allow any local or D g
cial measure to interfere with the great
Magma charter of our liberties, an hon
est election law. Without that, it is
useless and vain to amend the laws or
constitution of Louisiana. IL the foun-
tain is left impure, you will have a foul
stream. no matter how You shape it's
course. Give us an honest election law,
and all the other blessings of freedom
will be added unto us.-Monroe Bull

Admitting New States.

The bill to admit Utah as a State, al
ready passed by the House, has been
favorably reported to the Senate with
some amendments. Whether any new
States shall be admitted at this time by
the Democratic majority of Congress
will depend altogether upon the prob
able action OF such States in the election
OF Senators. The Democrats have a
small margin of votes in the Senate,
likely to be reduced when the vacancies
are filled. If they could pick up a
couple of votes in Utah and two more
10 New Mexico it would be wortl, while.
from a party standpoint, to admit them
to the Union, but that way of strength
eniDg a party's majority is very uncer-
tain. The Republicans thought they

States, but they missed their ~calcnla-

Benefit of 9argling.

If people would wash ont their mouths
twice or three times a day with an an
tiseptic solution, there would not be so
much sickness. 10 the last ten years I
have never had a cold, sore throat, or

ly to the fact that l follow this plan
rigidly. There are any number of pro-
prietary %antiseptics that are excellent
for this purpose, but many more simple
agents that are rs good or better. One
OF the best OF the latter is carbolic acid.
