from the restraints of city life. The
ladies went into ecstasies in chorus
and INDUCED in rapturous expressions

where they would find words. to des-

AS to the desira Utility of preserving
this naturally beautiful and impressive
sketch of varied landscape, there was
no dissenting opinion. All joined in
saying it comprises most excellent feat
ures for a park that would be unique
and quaint among the famous natural
landscape exhibits Of the world. Yet
there was discernible an undercurrent
of caution and hesitancy. Perhaps
Senator Hodge-in whose district the
Dalles are situated-put the matter as
intelligently as it could be stated, when
he said to the GLOBE reporter:
81 feel that the state should own and
preserve these marvellous features as
they are seen today. Natural condi-
tons are such that the park would al
most take care of itself if it were once
established. The property on the Min
nesota side can be purchased very
cheaply, and it would require no great
amount of money to put the grounds
in suitable shape for public use. Every
where there are gushing springs of
fresh water, opportunities for pictur-
esque and winding pathways are numer-
Gus; rustic bridges, seats and cool, Sc
cluded walks would be easily and
cheaply built-everywhere are sugges-
tons that present themselves to even
the untutored eye. A clever landscape
artist would make The Dalles more
beautiful than we conceive, possibly,
and yet not disturb or destroy one sin
gle feature that attracts the admira-
ton Of the visitor today.
But 1 realize it will be a hard task
to secure an appropriation for this pur-
pose. To commit the state to thep pre-
servation Of The Dalles does not mean
a great outlay of money, and it I'M
doubtedly would mean a large. increase
of summer visitors to our state. I
sincerely hope the land will be ac-
quired, for L feel assured that similar

THE TWO EVILS OF THE SYSTEM

WE HAVE repeatedly called attention
to the evils OF lynch-law. 1t is as La
bic to visit punishment upon the inno-
cent as well as the guilty.
When one contemplates that il Gov.
O'FERRALL had not sent state troops
to Lunenburg County, the innocent
MARY ABERNATHY, PoKEy and MARY
BARNES would be lying beneath the
sod. a full realization of the horrors of
this system will make itself apparent.
As it was the mob furnished the jury
and forced il to carry out its DEGREES.
In this there is a great lesson. Gov.
O'FERRALL has been justified in his
stand against lawlessness.
All men charged with crime, regard

fair and impartial trial by a jury OF
their peers. In an observance of this
fact rests the perpetuity of our insti-
tuition and inviolability of the rights
of all men before the law. Lynch-lav

THE LYNoHINa OF THE INNOCENT

Bon HAGGARD, colored, was charged
with attempting to criminally assault
a white woman near Frankfort, KY.
There was much doubt as to his
guilt. and state troops were ordered
out to guard the Jail in which be was
confined.
An undisguised mob attacked the
jail, the troops yielded him up and the
writing, struggling, protesting form
of the innocent man was swung into
the air and his body riddled with bull
let's.
Thus ended the first chapter.
The matter was investigated and il
has been proved beyond the shadow OF
a doubt that Bon HAGGARD was inno-
cent.
There has been no effort on the part
of the Kentucky authorities to punish

THEIR PITIABLE CONDITION.

THE conviction and sentencing TO
death of MARY ABERNATHY and PoKEY
BARNEs and the incarceration in the
penitentiary of MARY BARNES to re-
main ten years, all of whom have been
proven to be innocent is the sensation
of the hour.
SOLOMON MARBLE, the plant TOOL,
now tells the whole story. 1t lisa signi-
ficant fact that he has not wavered in
his statement relative to the white
man whom he charges with having
killed Mrs. Lucy POLLARD.
1t is evident that he did not commit
the crime unassisted. There were
footprints Of two people near the
scene of the murder.
One was that of MARABLE. The con-
victed man declares that the other
was DAVID THOMPSON, white man who
forced him to assist in the perpetra-
ton OF the crime.
If THOMPSON is guilty, he should be
punished.
We are in favor of hanging the muir
derers of poor Mrs. POLLARD.

The death of PROF. ID. B. WILLIAMS
of the Virginia Normal and Collegiate
Institute removes from the arena of
public life one of the most successful
young men in this state. He was a
deep thinker, a profound student,
a learned author. Virginia mourns
his untimely taking off and the people
identified with his race shed tears over
his bier.
We knew DANIEL B. WILLIAMS. We
were well informed as to his aspira-
tions and desires and predicted for him
a great future.
He was in his prime, young man
who had not as yet fully won his
spurs" Fifty years would have left
him one of the ripest scholars of his
time. He's now no more. The song
of the birds, the signing of the wind
through the trees, fall upon dull
ears silenced forever in death. He
has gone on before, where we ere
many days shall join him.
Peace to his ashes; rest to his soul.
