A SPECIAL MESSAGE.

The governor has sent a special mes
sage 70 the legislature in reference 10
lynching, and it appears from 1t that II
has become necessary and the duty OF
the legislature TO seek such legislation
as will save our state from further hui
initiation and disgrace and secure to
every citizen rights guaranteed IN e2-
press terms in our constitution, and
which are the birthrights of every citizen
of an English speaking country"
This is strong language, but 1t is the
language of the governor OF Georgia
In his message the governor makes
prominent the startling fact that since
this legislature assembled there have
been thee lynchings in this state-one
in Clinch county, one in Montgomery,
and one in Dooly. Thus three men dur
ing the present session have been taken
and deprived of life without trial, with
out an opportunity to be heard IN their
defense-in the language of the conStltu-
ton. without due process Of law
While the governor was writing this
very message, he relates, there came into
his office man who had fed from an
angry mob which endeav0red to capture
and lynch him, and asked to be accorded
a trial in our courts. IN Montgomery
county murder had been added to the
lynchipg by the killing Il the father OF
the girl alleged TO have been assaulted
by the man who was lynched.
The governor calls attention 20 the fact
that the arresting officer is now clothed
with power to take the life of his assail-
ants when resisting their efforts to take
a prisoner from him, and it is his duty
to take the life of The assailants if Deces-
sary to protect his prisoner and retain
him in custody.
That it may be ascertained whether
such officer does his full duty in every
instance the governor recommends the
passage of a law requiring thorough
investigation in every case and providing
adequate punishment when he falls far
short Of his full duty. The governor
asserts that the existing laws are made
ouate to meet the emergency Other
laws should be enacted to enfore the
constitution a0d to secure to the citizens
rights guaranteed in our fundamental
law.
There should be fewer lynchings in
Georgia

It is very often that the most ins;g-
nifcant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small scab
/ or sore, to which no attention IS at
tracted. until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such a case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for Cu;te q time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-
longs 10 one of the oldest and best
families of Carolina; he is we'll and
favorab1y known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood Tor years. Cancer is hereditary
in the family, an aunt on each side
having died from it. Several years
ago small spot, like tiny ulcer.

Georgia.

Over in Alabama the Montgomery Adj
vertiser, whose editor holds postaffice
and has been trying to boss the politics
of the state under the present reign OF
Clevelandism, undertook to force Gov
ernor Oates to run f II another term, so
as to freeze Hon. Jos. F. Johnston, Of
Birmingham, who is free silver man
and an Atwood, yard-wide democrat, out
of the race. But Governor Oates has
finally given the Advertiser 10 under
stand that he does not belong to it, and
that he will not be dictated to by it.
Governor Oates will make the race for
the United States senate, and the indica-
lions are that Captain Johnson will be the
next governor. In letter to the Ad'
vertiser Governor Oates says:
lone word more: AS 10 the remark,
we were surprised that the governor
should go out of his way to preach bar
mony with men who profess what we
believe to be wrong principles. Advo~
Gates of free coinage may be and l be-
lieve are wrong, but have no doubt of
their honesty in the main. The coinage
question does not embody all the princi-
pies of The democratic party, but is but
one of the policies. If the advocates Of
free coinage be,sincere and honest, as we
who oppose it profess to be, in what way
can we compromise unless by mutual
concessions? They are democrats, men
and patriots, as well as ourselves. Do
we expect them to surrender everything
and come over TO us, or are we TO make
a clean surrender To them? / think a
mutual respect for each others opinions
and proper concessions 10 a reasonable
extent should be made in order that til e
party may not lose the state next year.
tell you, my friends, that if this fight
continues TO grow in hi terness, as indi-
Gated in the papers of each faction, which
are more hostile toward each other than
they are - the common enemy, the sue
cess of the party next year may be put
down as doubtful, if nor hopeless. / am
prepared to make any concession wi ich
l can make consistently with honor and
self respect to avoid such a calamity

LAW which was passed by the

A LAW which was passed by the
New York Legislature and recent
ly signed by Governor Morton, at
once became operative. 1t pro-
vides that any person conducting
a business, licensed under the laws
of the State of New York, shall
make no discrimination in serving
guests on account of race or color,
but shall accord them equal SER
vice. This law particularly ap-
plies to hotels, restaurants, thea
tres, barrooms, barber shops and
lighthouses. Under the law, when
negroes apply at any such estao-
lishments, they must be given the
same attention as is shown to other
guests, and failing to do this rem
ders the. proprietor, manager or
employe, so failing or refusing,
guilty Of a misdemeanor, punish
able with fine and Imprisonment,
while the proprietors can be made
the subject of suits for damage. As
soon as this law came into force, a
number of negroes made the rounds
of the principal hotels, the stylish
restaurants and barrooms, the up
town hathhonses-and barber shops
and demanded service. They
lunched at the Waldorf, Astor's
high priced and high-toned hotel,
and other such places. They
drank in tip-top cafes andwere
served in the barber Shops where
the moneyed aristS6racy are wont
to be polished>1p and decorated
A great o1tcry was made against
the "%trage," but the people had
to Stand it. New York appears to
be the first of the States that has
been treated to so strict and sweep
ing dose of negro equality
Whether it will be the last will de-
pond on the quickened consciences
of the Republicans. If they are
going into that sort of thing, il
may mean revival of the force
bin for the South. The New York
law is singular move, and as one
of the accompan,ments of Republi
can return to power, it seems sig
nifcent. 1t is either a freak O
legislation, or it is the beginning
of new outbreak Of fnatical ne
grophilisln.- Picayune.

being weak in which, she is weak

Eagle. Europe, which owes to the
genius of America every modern
facility and Improvement of value,
will soon own also our brains of
conception and cunning hand. The
steamboat, the steam railway. the
telegraph, the telephone, the cleo
tric power and light, and nearly all
that modern triumph boasts is of
America. They were all invented
-harvesters and typewriters, pow
or presses and palace cars, sewing
machines and type-setting machines
by Americans and in America.
and but for which all Europe would
be to-day but an improved Orient
of hand methods and slow plodding.
And yet, and Notwithstanding and
in the face of it all, the seventy
million defendants of the three
millions who in their poverty and
weakness, whipped England out OF
her boots, stand around to-day and
say that America is nothing, can
do nothing, and that her people
who have given the modern world
all there is in it worth having, can
not even say what their money shall
be in the absence of England's
consent and Europe's cooperation,

was compiled under the supervis-

Mineral Division of the United

based on reports of many experts

duct shows a great decline from

"THERE are some facts bearing
on this question recognized and ad-
mitted bv all candid men, whether
advocates of bimetallism or Of the

the fact that the very year that
marked the change from the bi-
metallic to the single gold standard
is the very year that marked the
change from a condition of rising
prices, large profits, general con
tentment and great prosperity, to
condition Of falling prices dimin-
ishing profits, insecurity of invest
ments, unemployed labor and a
heavy depression in all branches
of trade and industry. 1t is not O
matter of dispute, even among the
honest advocates Of the gold stand
ard, that general prosperity came
to an end with the destruction o.
the bimetallic system, and that hard
times, falling prices, idle workmen
and widespread depression came
in with the gold standard, and pre-
walls today wherever the gold
standard has been adopted"

standard is departure from the

world, with nothing TO commend
it but twenty-five years of depres-
sion and disaster to the people and
extraordinary accumulation Of
wealth in the hands Of the few"
