A RINGING veto of the tariff bill,
coupled with the candid confession
that the Democratic misfits in congress
are incompetent to meddle with the
question, would save Grover Cleve-

Representative Blair, of New Hamp-
shire, did not succeed in getting the
tariff-mad congress to consider his
resolution providing that the COM
missioner Of labor be directed to inves.
tigate and report in regard to assaults
by men upon women throughout the
country during the last ten years
which have led to unlawful violence
in the way of punishment and also to
report other facts in regard to lynch
ings. Consequently we must witness
the curious anomaly of an investiga-
ton of this American subject con-
Quoted under the auspices of society
of English philanthropists at whose
head is British duke.
1t is, perhaps, just as well, however,
that the collection of data touching
this phase of current crime should
have been left to non-partisan and i'm.
partial agencies. The lectures of q
young colored woman, Miss Ida Wells,
upon this subject have recently awak'
ened exceptional interest in it. Miss
Wells, in defense of her own race, con.
tends with a ce tain degree of vehe
mence that large proportion of the
crimes attributed in the press dis
patches to negro assailantS should
properly be attributed to Caucasian
brutes who Use the negro a. shield
1t Is also her contention that the per
centage Of violent crimes OF this char.
acter committed by negroes in the
south is little, if any, larger than the
percentage of those committed by
whites; but she charges the southern
people with concealing the evil deeds
Of the whites and Of magnifying the
evil deeds of the negroes to such an ex
tent that startlingly large number O
innocent negroes are annually lynchet
in order that guilty whites may g
free.
Miss Wells, as a witness o this sub
ject, is doubtless herself given to ex
aggeration, conscious or unconscious
1t may be safely aflir ned, however
that lynch law, hasty, fitful and pas
sionate as it is, forms an exceedingly
unreliable tribunal for the trial o
crimes against the person. Whethe
lynch law i'll or can be ever suppressed
in sections where the illiteracy Of botl
whites and blacks is large, is question
we are unprepared to answer. TIL,
black man is the victim of circum
stances that In the abstract entitle hin
to great sympathy; but this sympathy
among the majority of whites, seldom
takes a concrete form south of tn,
Ohio river; and the racial antipath,
thus evidenced shows little If an,
signs Of yielding. The future ma,
educate and uplift the southern freed
man so that he will not be a frequen
victim Of lynch law; but those VIII
expect such state of affairs to materi
