AN UPRISING IN INDIA.
Portuguese Troops Defeated by a
Body of Natives.

Body of Natives.
Bombay, Oct 13-A serious condition of
affairs exists in Goa, the territory in In
dia owned by Portugal. Recently a body
of rebels, said to have numbered 1900,
stopped a detachment Of Portuguese
troops commanded by a lieutenant. who
were going TO Sanquelim. Sharp fghting
took place, during which many of the
Portuguese soldiers were wounded. The
rebels were in too strong force, however,
for the troops to make successful re-
sistance and the latter were finally oblig-
ed to surrender. Some Of the troops were
natives and refused to obey the orders of
prestige to the rebels and 1t is thought
that many of the disaffected natives will
flock to their state. The governor of Is
dispatched guns TO Agoda and arranged
ures that have been taken are said to be
quite inadequate to suppress the revolt.

WHY NOT DECORATE?

No city in the Union decorstes more cx-
tensively or turEs out in greater crowds
10 witness demonstrations than Wash
ington does on public days, and next
Monday should be an occasion for ma king
a more elaborate display than ever 1t is
true that Labor Day in the past has not
been looked upon as a time for a general
demonstration. On the contrary, it is
recognized as belonging exclu sively 10
wage-earners, but as they constitute large
class Of the city's population it would
be no more than right to decorate as exten-
sively in. their behalf as we would on any
holiday.
BY virtue of the great influence wage
earners exert on the country's prosperity,
this recognition of Labor Day should be
gratefully made. Unless wage-earners
thrive, the public at large cannot prosper,
and If they have occasion to rejoice
everyone should also take part in making
their jubiIation successful
Next Monday win be the first of several
successive Labor Days when the future
looks bright and prosperous. Good times
for the entire public are near at hand, and
no disastrous labor troubles are imminent
or in prospective.
This reason in itself should be sufficient
tocause the pTblic to decorate on Labor Day,
and as the display would be accepted as a
recognition OF the progress and thrift of
labor il should be as extensive and eIab-
crate as possible.

Then came President Newbold's inter
view i'll the Star and the sudden collapse
and squeIching OF the-spasm OF public
virtue that had prompted the prosecution
of the Trolley Trust With the power in
their hands to act and vindicate the law,
the Commissioners, by their refusal to
remove the trolley poles, became tacit con
tributors to Iawlessness. After lending
their efforts TO the hue and cry for the
punishment Of the Trolley Trust, they put
aside the opportunity given them by Judge
Cole and failed TO do their duty.
The Star, the Commissioners, and the
Department Of Justice Were fierce in their
prosecution OF the Trolley Trust so long
as their efforts could avail nothing, but
when authority was given them to execute
the law by decision of the court, they
became Is powerlcss as sucking babes.
And why? Because the Star owns a
large block of stock in the Trolley Trust.

Charges Brought Against Res pectahle

who was formerly proprietress Of the

in the police coart yesterday for premises
Nos. 100, 124 and 330 Maryland avenue,
oecupicdby 30. Statler, William Mclaughlin,
and Vincent. Gaerarde.
She alleges that so.le Of her property
was stolen in 1853 by Charles Grayson, a
colored driver employed by her, and sold
by him TO the above persons. AT the time
of the alleged larceny Mary was serving
a six months sentence in jail for keeping
the above resort in violation of law.
One day during her Imprisonment all her
effects were set out on he sidewalk during
a snow-stornl by a constable armed with a
proper writ Charles GTaysOn and Culored
girl, named Janey, who had been LETT in
charge OF the premises by the woman,
claimed that they were in a half-starved
and perishing condition, being without
money, food or fuel. Grayson produced
an order purpOTting ca have been written
by Mary AlmaTolia in her cell, authorizing
him to sell some of the household effects to
obtain food FOR himself, Janey and the
horses.
on the strength of this order Mr. Statter
and the others bought several articles Of
comparatively small value, getting d
receipt from Grayson for the money,
which lie now has. The warrants We're
served yesterday afternoon by Detective
Proctor, Scrgt. Daley and Policemen Baur
and Smith. They found several articles
of furniture, table cloths, towels, etc.
which Mary Almarolia said Grayson had
purloincI from her effects while she was
incarceTated.
Charles Grayson was locked up at No. 4
charged with grand larceny. The per-
sonsarrested are realirespectablcan and furnished
real estate bonds for their appearance
In the police court to-day,
Mr. Statter said last night that he only
bought the articles out of charity and
to keep Grayson and the girl from starving,
as the articles were of no service to him.
He says the charges brought by the colored
woman were inspired by malice on her part,
which she is seeking to vent two years
after the alleged larceny.

WHY THIS INCAPACITY?

There are some things as deep as a well,
but not half so difficult to look into, The
trolley prosecution is one Of them, and were
it not so serious it would be ridiculous as
an attempt to thwart justice. Apparently
aetuated by a spirit Of public virtue the
Star, the Commissioners, and the Depart
ment Of Justice started out to prosecute the
trolley trust offenders Startling denuncia-
tory editorials were published by the Star,
calling upon the Commissioners To pull
down the poles Of the lexington line and
prosecute the law breaking officers Of
the company.
Frequent Interviews were also priE ted
in which the Commissioners, the prosecuting
attorney, and everybody else in authority
protested to be sincerely desirous of get
ting rid of the overhead trolley. Prosecu-
ton was vigorously inaugurated and the
trolley trust managers were kept busy
finding a way to evade the penalty of the
law. Finally they were run to earth and
nothing was wanting but the order of the
Commissioners to remove the trolley poles
from New York Ssenue and the grip Of the

LYSCHINGS AND THEIR CAUSES.
Every Iynching is a crime and, at the
same time, an accusation against society
in general and against the community in
which il occurs in particular. Its q crime
because it oycrthrows order, defics the
Law and ignores its regular processes; an
| accusation, in that it declares by deed, If
not by word. that the course of justice is too
dilatory and too uncertain.
There are communities compo sed of
people who have but slight regard for
the law, and in these the death penalty is
inflicted according to the temper of the
! people or the popularity or unpopularity
of the offender. These, however, are in
the minority In the ma jority of instances
the lyncning is the result OF a popular
| apprehension that the law viii fail TO mete
out the proper punishment. 1t is the laws
delay" the tedious course OF justice that
leads TO mob violence OF this sort.
If punishment followed crime with GER
tainiy and swift9ess; if, instead OF years
intervening between the commission of
crime and the punishment of the criminal
there were only months: IL the imposing OF

thrown and the action of court and jury
nulHned, people would be less impatient
and lynchings less frequent.
Lynchings are Unknown in England, in
Germany, in France, in almost any Of the
European countries. Why? The people
there are not more Intelligent than are
the people OF the United States, they are
not more civilized; in many respects ours
are their supcriors. But they have the
utmost confidence in the sure and swift
process OF the law; they feel certain that,
though justice may miscarry sometimes, the
chances are against it; in brief, they re-
SDect the W This is because the law re-
spects itself. 4 it were, and because the ad-
miuistration OF justice is carried on with
