1t Pays 10 Be I.ayy-Abia,np

I'VE have reached the point where il Will
pay any cot nty in the state to establish
Its record as non-lynching county, and
make Its record known. Desirable imrui-
grants are seeking and finding homes in all
other parts of the south. They would seek
them in this stats If they knew where they
would hrd peaceable and law-abiiing com
munities in which to settle. 1t is worth the
while of any county that has a clean record

So says the Charleston News, and the
suggestion is respectfully commended to the
attention of all those communities where
the popular tendency is. unfortunately and
unprofitably. toward that form of lawless-
ness which attempts to justify its exist
ence on the score of economy or a desire to
see what is often enormously termed .ius-

which lynch law was administered and

verse to the Illegal and almost invariably
inexcusable infliction Of capital punishment
which has been and still Is much too COM
mon in some sections of this country. It is
quite reasonable to hope that from this
time forth there will be steady diminution
in the number of lynchings. The tenderest
place in the American anatomy is the pock-

jewellers In the rural districts that lawless-
ness In any form will work serious injury
to any locality where lynching is INDUCED

will unquestionably be followed, in all
places possessing any attractiveness for the

been SO long delayed. The Charleston News
suggests that it would be interesting to
have an accurate list of those counties
which can show a perfect record and Of
those which can show such a record for the
past twenty years, or since the close of the
troubious reconstruction era. Any business
man will agree with the News that such
record would be the very best advertise
ment with which to attract home seekers.

Poor WODlan!

Comparatively few persons have ever
heard of Loeb Lynn Heights. 1t is a viii
lage in Garrett County, Maryland. It
might be celebrated for the exceeding pic
turesquesness of its location and the Won
derful beauty of its surroundings, but 1t is
most likely to be talked of among men
because it is the abidins-place of election
judges who have solemnly declared that
women are not persons. The charter of
Loeb Lynn Heights provides that all per-
sons over twenty-one years of age and who
have resided in the town during period of
rot less than six months shall have the
right to vote at town elections. The cleo
ton judges decided-without any semblance
of respect for the opinions of every known
leXicoSrapher-that only a man Is a person.

The District authorities may congratulate
themselves upon the fact that bicycle riders
who enjoy the smoOthness of our streets
and have Eeen tempted to unlawful rapidity
row move at rates of speed much more
moderate than were dangerously common
two or three weeks ago. Mere announce
ent of tie legal penalties easily to be in
Cured has been sufficient to discourage the
majority OF the ''scOrchers" who were
tEoughtleSsly making great deal of trou-
ble-sOmetimes for themselves but more
frequently for others. The complete re-
preston of the ssorcher will not. however
be possible until a few of the expert riders
on the police force are equipped and started
out in business bicycle policemen. Such
equipment will doubtless come to pass if
Congress Will only make the needed in

bicyclists are. a class, menace to the
community. There are 50 many of them
now thai their rights must he recognized.
One of the things of which they complain
is the condition of street-Car crossings.
This complaint is well founded as to all
the local street railroads except the Met
IopCl!tda Company, whose tracks are new
and CROSSINGS smooth. The District Com
missfCners have it in their power to see
that the railroad companies keep in good
repair 50 much of the highway as is be-
tween their tracks or on each side for the
distance OF two feet. Some of the crossings
are positively dangerous: Others while
hardly to be classed as dangerous, work
serious injury to many wheels. There are
probably between thIrty-fve and forty
thousand bicycles in The District of Co
lumbia. The Commissioners will be doing
nothing more than their duty If they, by
prCidlns the railroad companies to action
in this matter, earn the gratitude of a
great multitude of bicyclists

The Waste Paper Nuisance.



Justice Richardson on Monday fined
man five dollars for throwing paper into
the street at the corner of Lake street
and 9TH avenue. If there were more po-
licemen who would arrest persons for
throwing paper and other stuff into the
streets, and if there were more justices
who would initiate Justice Richardson and
fine these persons committing public NUS
ances, this would be a cleaner city. All
over this city paper, garbage and filth Of
all kinds are deliberately thrown into the
street and no arrests are made, although
it is often done right under the noses of
the police. A few such doses of justice as
that mentioned above would bring these
hogs to a realizing sense that they are
amenabe to law, and that their cieanly
disposed neighbors have some rights.
The city is infested with these hogs.
They are upon every street and avenue
and in every alley. The street cleaning
department may clean the city from now
until doomsday. and it will be just as dirty
unless the police look after the careless,
reckless, and filthy creatures who dump
not only paper but litter and garbage of
all sorts directly into the streets in the
face of the ordinance which forbids it.
Justice Richardson has set sn example for
hlch every decent person will rise up and
call him blessed. Would there were more
such!

The speech of the Queen Regent upon the
opening of the Spanish Cortes yesterday
throws no new light on the Cuban situa-
ton. 1t was hardly to be expected that it
would. Spain's case has for some time been
made up. 1t is full of the fairest promises
for reforms in Cuba, but none of these is to
be executed until the Cuban people submit
themselves to the Spanish authorities abso-
lutely. Meanwhile. General Weyler, the
gentle persuader. will remain in command
in the island. and his course up to date is
cordially Endorsed.
The Cuban people are, of course, not to
be caught with such chaff. They know the
value OF Spanish promise about reform.
For that knowledge they have paid with
much property and many lives. and with
years of CALLING oppression. They have had
enough of that. Their only security. as
they firmly believe. is in independence, ar d
as the great majority of them are now in
the field of resistance with arms in their
bands, their purpose, earnestly declared is
to stand out until independence has been
achieved They are sustained, too. in this
determination by the conviction that in the
end success will reward them.
The question for this government to con-
slider is. how much lor ger shall such a con-
hict be permitted to go on al the country's
very door? 1t is for this government to de-
eide On the one hand are our nefghbors.
harried and prosecuted and turning here
Tor succor, and on the other hand is Spain,
with her bloody purpose fully confessed.
The Queen Regents fair words do not call
attention from General WeyIer's sword and
instructions. Unless the United States in
terposes, the war will go on. Spain will not
desist, nor will, nor should. Cuba desist.
Would any other great power in the world
nave held for so long in similar circum-
stances the attitude that this government
has held toward Spain in this business ?
Transfer Cuba in imas ination to such a
place in the sea as would give her the same
relations, geographical and commercial to
either Great Britain or France that she
holds to the United States and how long
would either of those powers have subj
United to see Spain set up and maintain a
reign of terror at its doors?

Why Bryan Should Get POpullSt Support.

Why Bryan Should Get POpullst Support.
Why don't the Missouri World bolt
the nomination Of Bryan? This is in
substance the question that has been
asked us by several Of our subscribers.
The first reason we don't bolt is because
we believe Bryan is a POpulist in about
everything but name. The second is
there is q large per cent. Of the rank and
file Of the veterans Of the reform move
ment that believe the nomination Of
Bryan was the very best thing that
could have been done.
Bryan, il elected, will sign a free
silver bill, il Congress passes one. He
will sign a bill to substitute greenbaCks
for National bank notes. He will stop
the issuance Of bonds. He will sign a
bill prohibiting gold contracts. He will
pay out silver as we'll Rs gold in the
redemption Of greenbacks and treasury
notes. We believe he would sign bill, IL
Congress should pass one, providing for
government ownership Of railroads. Just
how far Bryan's reform views extend we
do not know, but we DO know that bis
speeches make pretty good Popullst
campaign documents. He is not OF the
George Vest stripe. Vest pictured the
awful results Of the gold standard con-
traction policy, but said il his party
adopted it in convention he would stand
by the party. Bryan said IL his party
adopted it he would leave the party,
Had the Democratic convention failed
to declare for free silver, Bryan would
most likely have been the nominee Ol
Populists and bOlting Democrats and
boiling Republicans,
The convention has acted, and we
believe a majority Of the rank and file
Of the Peoples party has accepted its
action.
We cannot sec that the cause Of re-
form can now be advanced by bolting
the action of the convention.
Bryan is the first old party candidate
since the war that has not endeavored
TO secure his election by attempting to
secure the friendship OF the money
power. He is denounced by the pluto
cratic Democrats as Populist They
call him all the hard names they apply
to Populists.
While we are taking our time to con-
slider this matter, we say now, as we
said in the first issue OF this paper after
our convention, we believe the Populist
ticket will be Bryan and Wstson-MtS'
SOuTi World.
