LYNCHING.-A colored man. charged
with assaulting white woman in a
lonely part of West Philadelphia, was
with difficulty defended by two police
men from mob bent on lynching
him.
AS long as that crime is committed
by white or black men, so long will
lynching continue in the North, South,
East, and West. Lynching is the eff
feet, and the crime the cause. and
when the cause ceases the effect will
cease and not before.

cessfully performed his great trick of
allowing six U. S. soldiers, with regu-

him, when he appeared unframed and
placed the marked bullets in a plate
for inspection, which he claims to have
caught in his hands. The question is,
"How did he do it ?" 1t is a question
which none but himself can answer,
and he will not.

WelIman's Polar Expedition.
His Vessel Crushed in the Ice-The ExplOr
ers are Safe.

His Vessel Crushed in the Ice-The Explor-
are Safe.
A cablegram to the n. Y. Herald,
dated Christiana, August end, says
that the fishing vessel Malygan has ar
rived at Tromso from North Spitzber-
gen, with Captain Bottolfson and three
seamen of Walter Wellman's Raguvald
Jarl aboard her. They report that af-
ter several struggles in the ice the
Raguvald Jarl arrived on May 70 at the
Table Isle, one of the Seven Islands,
The ice compelled the party to return
to Walden Isle. On May "a Wellman
set out with thirteen men, forty dogs
and provisions for ITO days, Four days
later the Raguvald Jarl was crushed
by ice and was totally lost. Only some
stores were saved.
A message concerning the disaster
was sent to Wellman and it reached
him on Martens Island. Wellman,
Dodge and two others returned to Wal
den Island. They built their solid
house of the wreckage. The house &C
commodated the majority of the crew,
and would afford ample shelter to the
explorers should they be compelled to
winter on Walden Island. Wellman de-
parted on the 31st for Martens Island.
wELLMAN AND HIS MEN SAFE.
The latest news from Wellman was
received on June H. when Winship and
another left the expedition six miles
east of Platen Isle. There the party
had come upon an impossible ice field.
Wellman was waiting for the opening,
and all were well.
w. Upon Winship's return to Walden
Island Bottolfson and some others
journeyed southwark in the aluminium
boats, hoping to meet fishing vessels.
Thus they met the Malygan.
A new vessel will be chartered to
bring back the expedition. Meanwhile
Wellman and his companions are cross
ing the ice, probably in the direction of
Gillelland. The ice conditions in the
earlypart of the expedition were ex
ceptionally unfavorable. Trygve Hey
ersahl, the young philosophical student
who accompanied the expedition, has
gone to Danes Island to join Peter
Oyen, the geologist.

THE DEMOCRATS VIcToRs IN TEN

THE DEMOCRATS VICToRs IN Ten
NESEE.-The victory of the demo
Gratis of Tennessee in the election held
Thursday, over the combined forces of
the republicans and populists, augurs
badly for the fusion movements from
which the republicans have hoped SO
much in Alabama and other States of
the South and West. Whatever may
happen in regard to the pending tariff
bill, it is we'll understood throughout
the country by the masses of the PEG
pie that the democratic party still
stands for we'll tried and just principles
of government. People who groan
under existing Mckinley taxes can
feel no interest in the planks of repub-
lican platforms adopted in various re-
cent State conventions, reiterating the
fidelity of the party to its old errors,
protection included. Not till protec.
ton is dropped from the republican
creed and not till the populist creed
becomes more practicable will the mis-
sion of the democratic party be ended.
1t will win, as in Tennessee, SO long as
its leaders remain true to it's tradition
al sound neutrality-suspicious. sam.
