MON In POLITICS.

IT has come to pass recently that sew
erei Congressman have declined renom-
ination and prominent men have refused
to become candidates for the reason that
they cannot afford to bear the expenses
incident 10 the campaign. 1t will be un-
derstood. of course, That this does not re-
fer to the legitimate expenses, such as
printing, hiring OF halls and proper in
cidentals, butrelates entirely tothe am cunts
that go into the Unsuitable maws of the
strikers and heelers who unfortunately in
fest every district. There is no good rea-
son why the legitimate expenses of Con-
gressional candidates campaign should ex-
coed thousand dollars, even in districts
embracing considerable territory; in the
majority OF cases II should be even less.
The debasing Influence of money i'm
properly used in political campaigns cuts
at the very root of our institutions. The
practice is deplorable on two accounts-it
Keeps away the very men whom it is de-
sirable to get into Congress, and it brings
to the surface those who are by no means
acceptable. Worst of all, it debauches the
conscience of large Dumbcr of voters,
while it keeps within a party class of
men who are in politics for what they can
make out oft and being rid OF whom would
be boon 70 every party that ever existed.

THE oNE-cENr NEWSPAPER.

Nineteen years ago yesterday William NJ.
Singerly made the first pos;-beilun expe
riment IN publishing penny paper upon
a scale that would compare fayorably with
the larger journals which We're sold at
three and five cents. People shook their
heads and doubted and for time it seemed
as If the venture might not succeed. But
Mr.. Singeriy had three powerful aids in
his undertaking pluck, some means and
good field. In a manufacturing city like
Philadelphia the thousands upon thousands
Of wage earners were sure tn welcome the
advent OF penny paper, and the Record
had their support from the very start.
was not only cheap. but that its news COL
umns were well filled and Interesting and
its editorial policy Independent, impartial,
fair and honorable. Its news columns were
for sale; its editorial columns never. Thus
it has come that today the Philadelphia
Record stands in the very front rank of
American newspapers; that its circulation
has gone into the hundred thousands, and
that it has made its owner a millionaire.
Gradually. though with much travail, the.
great papers of the country are coming to
the penny standard. Here in Washington
The Times has set the pace. Before it was
usiered into life the newspaper was, for
the Garner of small wages, a luxury rarely
enjoyed; today there is hardly working
mau in the District without his copy Of
The Times. But the penny paper every
where, and particularly here in Washington,
has done more than merely give people
all the news of the day for the smallest
coin of the realm; it has constituted itself
the champion OF the masses who had not
been able to get Il hearing, and whose in
terests had always lacked defender. 1t
did not take the people Il great while to
find out that The Times had opinions of
its own and was not afraid to utter them;
that it was the eutspoken, uncompromising
foe of all rings, Jobs and crookedness,
whetberin official life or out of it; that its
higbestand constantaim was the promotion
OF the best moral and material interests
or the people of the District aud that in the
advocacy aud defense of these considera-
ton could swerye it from the path once
marked out for itself. A policy of this sort
deserves no special praise. for it is one that
every honest and honorable newspaper
ought to pursue, and the only pity is that
so many fall short of this standard.
Just like its Philadelphia contemporary
The Times has grown apace 1t is the
marvel Of Washington journalism. Only
two years old it stands first in point of
circulation and no better proof could be
asked that the people of the District regard
their penny paper as the best of all.

JUSTICE TRAMpLED UNDER FOOT

Two lynchings occurred in one day in u
| Georgia town, the incentive being the
usual crime which negroes perpetrate
against white women. Although these
cbutions of mob violence are not OF
rare occurrence in the South, there are
| peculiar features in the Georgia events
| which render them proper subjects for
| comment. One OF the wretches was taken
| by the mob from the courtroom even while
| his trial was in progress, dragged through
| the streets and ridded with bullets even
before arriving at the spot where he was
swung up on a tIce The other was taken
I; from Jail where he was awaiting his
fourth trial for the original offense, he
having been twice convicted and his case
sent back by the court of appeals on mere
! techGicalities. Considered in conjunction
| these two happenings furnish u striking
| illustration OF the causes that give rise to
mob violence and no less to the growing
disregard for the law aud courts of Justice
in the South.
1t is common occurrence for prisoners
TO be takcn away from peace Officers, con-
vcying them to jail and hanged; tits hardly
| less common for jails to bc broken into by
mobs and the object of their wrath dra ssgeeS
forth and hurried to a summary execution.
But. so far as now remembered there is
no precedent for the action of the Georgia
mob that burst into the courtroom. terror
lied judge, jury and spectators, took the
culprit on trial from the dock and hustled
him to his doom. The whole proceeding
shows that the disregard of law and order
prevailing in portions of the South is rapidly
nearing the danger line. How long will it
be. after such spectacle, before the mob
Will take upon itself the summary disposi-
ton of all cases, from petty larceny to muir
der? For it must be remembered that not
only criminal assaults upon women, but
incendiaries. murderers, burglars and horse
thieves have caused the mob TO take the law
into its own hands. The gradations from
these various offenses to the stealing of a
sum of money re not So numerous but that
the barriers may be easily overleaped and
all judicial procedure made superfluous.
Yet il is not difficult to analyze the mo-
tive OF the Georgia mob-if 4 mob can be
said to have a motive. There was pris-
oner in Jail, twice duly convicted of and
sentenced for the same cffense. Trivial
technioalities, probably mere matter of
legal form, had been permitted to interpose
between the sentence and its execution,
! and the mob thought that what had oc
CURED in this case might again be done
in the case ON trial and thus il vented its
wrath both upon the convicted man and
him who in the eyes OF the law was still
presumed to be einrocent. Itwasthe trifling
| of the law that aroused the anger OF the
mob.
Nevertheless the people ofthe South ought
10 check their impulses in this direction
| before it is too late. They take fearful
| risk in interfering with the orderly course
| and administration OF justice. They are
sowing a species of wind from which they
may reap devastating tornado.
