Debs Must Go to Jail.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Unit
ed States Supreme Court today de-
MED the application of Eugene v.
peahgsss the 4aabbGJ aass corpus. This" is 70" q
victory for the Government.
The decision was read by Justice
Brewer and was unanimous. All the
Governments contentious were sus.
tanned. The conclusions of the court
were that the Government of the
United States has jurisdiction over
every foot of soil and every inGivid.
ual within the boundaries of the
United States, and that while it is
one of limited powers it has sover-
eighty within those limitations.
1t has power, says the opinion, to
invoke civil courts to remove OBJ
structions to interstate commerce
and civil courts have the right to
enjoin those who make Instructions
to such commerce. An injunction
is, therefore, no bar to criminal pro.
cesses for acts in violation of the in
junction.

An Illinois Lynching.

DANvILLE, Ills, May 27.-Dete.-
mined to mete justice to two young
men accused of attacking q promi-
nent young lady of this place, and
fearing to trust their fate to Cover
nor Altgeld in the event of convlc-
ton by jury, mob took possess
on of the jail in this place early in
the morning and lynched John Halls,
Jr., and William Royce, who were in
IS 900 dollar bail each for assaulting
Miss Laura Barnett.
From midnight, when the crowd
first made its appearance at the jail
until the victims were reached, it
was the determined, desperate strug.
gle of frenzied mob to mete sum-
mary justice, battling against heavy
oaken doors and iron bars, and
occasionally halted by the grim
stand of little band of defenders of
the law and order under the COM
mand of Sheriff Thompson. No
amount of parleying on his part and
no plea could withstand the mob,
which had but one object in view.

Crop BULLETIN.-The week opened
with excessively low temperatures
a continuation Of the cool spell-and
for four days the temperature ranged
from 80 to $50 per day below the
normal. Frosts occurred on the 2lst,
22nd and 23rd, that of the 22nd
being very heavy. Some correspon-
dents say it was heavier that day
than any of the springs past and com.
pletely killed gardens, fruit and corn
in their sections.
With the exception of the wheat
crop, reports indicate that very little
if any improvement has been made
in the condition of crops throughout
the State, while the general tone of
the reports indicate that the prospect
for good yields of corn, fruit and veg
tables has been materially lessened
by the occurrence of frosts and the
continuance of cold and untavorable
weather. A good deal of the corn
crop has been replanted some fields
have been planted over entirely the
first planting having been destroyed.
Oats and grass are generally re.
ported as being in only fair condition
at best. The wheat crop is by far
the most promising at the present
time, having withstood the frosts
and cold weather. 1t is beginning to
head, and correspondents say that the
general condition of the crop is good
and prospects fair for an average
yield. However, many correspon
dents say that the crop is below the
average.

that th9re was not good case

TRAMPS.

Tramps are pests, nuisances, and
an abnormal and wrongful growth
on what might be termed sympa-
thetic charity. Giving to them with.
out work is not charity, violates the
Divine law, "By the sweat of your
brow shall you earn your bread"
and keeps a horde Of lusty, physical
hulks, in health and happiness, a
menace to society, and a terror to
good citizens, They usually APP
proach house when the husband is
away, and the frightened wife gives
to the lazy, worthless nomad, of her
husbands hard earnings. Now that
tramp has as much right to work as
the husband, and he has no right to
be nourished in idleness.
Massachusetts,, the old Bay State,
cvolles many good propositions, and
The latest is, the establishment of
work houses, or an agricultural in
stitution, to which able-bodied
tramps may be sent and applied to
work. 1t is good idea, for there is
nothing that tramp hates worse
than work. He does not fear dog,
has the most supreme impudence,
but work, he is not guilty of that.
Massachusetts will thus get rid of
tramps, and the contingent will be
increased thereby in other states,
which will make it necessary to
adopt similar measures. Our law
makers should carefully observe this
advancement and rid West Virginia
of these useless pests.
