4 few more sentences like those i'm
posed yesterday on a couple of Alaba-
ma lynchers might go far toward solv-
ing the troublesome problem Of now
to suppress this form of lawlessness
These men participated in lynching
four years ago, but have Just been
tried and convicted. The court SEN
fenced them to imprisonment for life,
and this penalty will probably be
hereafter adopted in the state as the
proper punishment OF these volunteer
executioners.
The race question did not enter into
the case, for all the party were white
1t was possible 20 consider the offense
as murder and to impose the death
penalty, for the line between lynchinp
and the great capital crime is too fine
TO be considered when the pubic safe
ty, SO seriously menaced by the appli-
cation of lynch law, is in jeopardy.
Yet much has been accomplished 10y
this conviction, and the enemies OF
the lynching system-for it has grown
into such proportions as TO begin to
deserve that name-should take heart,
and labor with more determination
than ever to root out the evil.

Among the Republicans of Richmond
there is still lively war in progress,
and a number of them Will not vote
for Mckinley The disaffected c.owd
are ali followers of John Mitchell, the
Negro editor, and they are mad with
Edgar Allan, Judge Waddill, and that
faction.
They inaugurated last night a series
of indignation meetings to be held
during this week at various places
in the city, and denounced the ring in
most emphatic terms. The inaugural
meeting was held in the colored Odd
Fellows Hall, in Rockets, and Jim
Bahen played a most conspicuous part
therein. 1t was finally decided by all
present, including Bahen, the only
white man present, that they would
blindly follow John Mitchell, and vote
any way he directed.
Bahen said afterwards, when cues
toned by Dispatch man, that he
would not vote for Mckinley, and
might not vote at all but subsequent
ly said he would vote any way Mitchell
said.

STILL WAITING.

Within the confines of the Virginia
Penitentiary a thin. spare-puilt wo-
man, attired in the conventional uni
form of that institution is working out
ten years sentence for a crime,
which she never committed.
In far-away Lunenburg county, her
children are left to the tender chart
ties of the world. No one cares for
them now, for their father is as far
from the place as is the mother.
1t is conceded by the people and the
courts that MARY BARNES was guilty of
no crime, that her conviction was an
outrage and her punishment the con-
summation of plot.
Hers has been hard lot. She is
the mother of fifteen children, and
whites away her leisure moments in
thinking of those, whom perhaps she
will never see again.
That reason, with her has not for

BARNES, according to the testimony of
Old Man POLLARD was in the field with
him at the time the murder of his
wife was committed.
SOLOMON MARABLE declared from the
gallows that she knew absolutely
nothing of the murder. And yet she
is working and waiting.
Gov. CHARLES T. O'FERRALL is the
only one who stands between her and
liberty. A stroke of his pen will set
tie the question forever more.
The application will soon be made
despite the slowness of the county
officials. Yet, she is waiting the pub
lie is waiting. How long shall it be?
When viii partial justice be vouch-
safed her? When will the wrongs OF
that arrest upon summers day be
righted?
Con only knows But one thing we
know at His bar, the truth will be told
and the vindication of life time will
be accorded at His great throne.
Waiting until the end comes, wait
ing until the news is brought, waitins
for the Governor,-may she continu.
to pray to Con who doeth all thins
right, and promises in His own tim,
to wipe ali of the tears from our eyes.

HURRAH FOR JOHN MITCHELL, JR.
Editor Clifford Speaks Plainly.

lMartinsburg, w. Va, Pioneer Press. ]
What Daniel O'Conneli was to the
Irish people, John Mitchell, Jr., edi
tor OF the Richmond PLANET. is to the
colored race. Were he an Irishman
instead of a colored man, every Irish
mar would bow at his shrine and hon
or him in life and revere his memory
after death, as thew DO that of st. Pat
rick, but he is a Negro and lives and
battles for his own people whose COM
mon foe is found among them. New
ertheless, John Mitchell, work on, for
this generation is growing noble men
whose devotion to you will crown your
hoary life with everlas ting glory
No other living Negro would have
spent his time night and day and hun
dreds Of dollars TO save toe lives of in
nocent colored prisoners who would
have been in eternity to day. We all
regret that Solomon Marable was hung,
but rejoice that two of the women
are at liberty and the other one is sure
of getting hers.

Who can blame John Mitchell for
opposing the local republican bosses of
Richmond Not the Pioneer Press.
The absurdity of the white Republi-
cans, when ex-President Harrison
spoke there last week, dividing the
cOlored voters by rope stretched be-
tween them. And worse still, for Ex-
President Harrison not looking at
them the whole time he spoke Mitch
ell, you did exactly right The only
way to get what you want is to ask for
it, and if not given, then in union, de-
mand it. The time has passed for the
cOlOred voters TO be divided off as
sheep from goats. They are citizens,
and that of the most patriotic type.
They saved this country and have on
many elections saved the Republican
party, and is such conduct the recon-
pense they deserve ? If so, then we
better organize ourselves into a party
and make them learn some sense
