PENN. YLvANIA appears TO the front
again IN lyncning the negro murderer
Puryear at s,roudsburg. The Philadel
phia Ledger remarks concerning the
executioners, mo arrests have yet been
made aud none are expected Which
the same. though somewhat faulty in
grammar, Is no doubt, as the
lawyers say, absolutely true in
fact" There Is nothing but hor-
ror in the contemplation Of this, or
Of any other crime Of mob, In itself
10 is worse. in fact. for the people Of
Pennsylvania, a thlckly settled state,
where the great majority Of the people
are white where the courts are accessi-
ble aud efficient aud where there are no
carpet bag lawyers and demagogue office
seekers ready to stand between
any man with a black skin, and a blaoker
heart, and justice. The women aud
children Of Pennsylvania are not In
mortal terror of the negro. The negroes
compose comparatively very small part
OF the communities and crimes by
them are, Of course, infrequent. But
this crime will have the effect of fixing
the attention OF the people Of PennsYl-
vania, who are the most bitter and
blgoted Of all the people in the North in
their hatred OF the Southern States, on
the complaints that the Southern people
make against the carpet bsegers, chiefly
from that state, who have taken the
negros welfare in charge,

LIBRARIAN KELSO'S DOLL

The first Christmas that can remem-
ber was when l was 7years old, and the
fact that this special day was so deeply
impressed is due to the disagraeable fea.
lures rather than the pleasant ones.
Then it seemed tragedy. That Christ.

and given to me by that pioturesq ue and

The delight OF having q package all

had never owned one, and didn't want

MAJOR B0NSALL'S IDEAS.

Yes, Chriotmaa day ia "ringer"-
the cracker to the whip-tha day OF all
days 10 the juvenile mind. All other
days of the calendar revolve around this,
and when il is past the average email
boy begins to reckon again how long it
will be until mex Christmas. 1t will be
remembered that ii has been asserted
that the Fourth OF July was digger"
man than Saint Patrick, but certainly
Christmas day surpasses them all, not
excepting even Halloween, at which
time boys formerly had great deal of
fun. Christmas abounds in fun also, in
addition to its heap OF good things, and
is frequently imp essed upon the juve-
nile mind through its aftermath-pare-
goric, Jamaica ginger. etc. To me per-
sonslly Christmas now always resalls
the death of my mother, who died
Christmas morning, after l had grown
to manhood. w. H. BoNsALL,
