an insight into the methods employed to

the process by which the San Francisco

Dalles. A young woman, Swedish
servant girl. fell into n stupor, from
which she was not aroused for forty
days. She was brought to Portland,
where physicians discovered what was
the matter with her, and awakened and
permanently cured her, by copious In
ternnl applications OF hot water. on
this basis of fact, which was Interesting

Governors,
Kansas City Journal; The governors
OF three southern states have made
known to the public their opinions as
to the best means of preventing lynch
ings and curing the lynching habit,
Governor Atkinson, OF Georgia, sug-
gests as remedy that each county
from whose authority a prisoner Is
takea and lynched shall be liable to
damages In a sum not less than 5000, to
be recovered by the administrators OF
the party lynched; and thur the governor
be authorized u remove from office the
official from whose custody prisoner
is taken by the mob, II 1t shall appear
that the officer has failed in his duty,
Governor Ellerbe, Of South Carolina, be-
lieves that the remedy lies In speedy
court trials. He thinks that when
specially henlous crime has been conf
mitted the trial should proceed immedl-
ately upon the arrest OF the suspected
person, and that greater strlctness
should prevail In the matter of technl-
Calities and punishment be prompt and
severe.
A similar remedy is suggested by
Governor OFerral. OF Virginia, who
recommends Vlrginias present plan, a
speedy trial, exclusion from the court
room OF all persons not connected with
the case prompt convictions, quick ex-
ecutiops and the free use OF the mil
itary, Governor oFerral says that in
his state the pursuit OF this system has
almost stamped out the crime of lynch
ing. II this is true the system sertalnly
is worth a more thorough trial in other
states, notwithstanding the fact that
some OF the lyRchings that have oc-
Cured lately occurred In spite of the
evident intention OF the courts to carry
out the law with promptness and Sc

The Intelllgencer never fails to publish
denIals by public men who have been

interview with Mr.. Stewart was from an

was reliable. If Mr.. Hartman has at the
disposal of the Intelligencer a copy OF the

doubts that Senator Stewart has been

Senator Stewart not having honored
this paper with copy Of his Silver

to do him Justice. However, on Mr..
Hartman's information, the Intelligent

dignantly denied that he stated that this
is no time to talk silver, but n time to
join in the general welcome to prosperity
and to rejoice with the farmers on their
bountiful crops which are contributing
so much to that prosperity, We regret
that Senator Stewart has denied that he
took this very patriotic stand at such
time. 1t would have been much more to

The case of the mysterious death of a
child in RellaIre, following the unnatural
conduct of the mother, who admitted
that she did not care for 1t" and gave 1t
in charge of another woman, deserves
careful investigation by the authorities.
That such things can occur in the midst
of civilization is strangely sad, and yet
they do occur Whoever rs responsible
for the death of this little one, and the
apparent Indifference after death, should
be held accountable under the law, If
not a case OF direct murder, the death
was assuredly the result of inhuman
treatment.

COTS decision in the miners contempt
case, should be thoughtfully read. 1t is
timely aud forcIble and defines In clear
words the scope of the injunCtions is
sued by Judge Jackson, Probably the
thoughts that are brought out most
clearly are that the right Of free speech
has not been denied the strikers; that
any lawful right belonging TO them mas
not been, and will not be, taken away
from them, and that the working min
ers and operators, too, have rights
equal to those OF the strikers, We take
It that both operators and miners can
find benefit to their cause in this decis-
ion, Judge Goff plainly states that the
strikers have rights which Will not be
abridged, and his nominal punishment
of those held guilty of contempt shows
that he Is not unsympathetic with their
efforts to better their condition. ON the
other hand, he shows with equal clear
ness, what the strikers cannot do, and
warns them that the rights OF opera
tors and working miners will not be
abridged. He has made an lnterpreta-
ton that should be carefully studied by
all concerned.
