EUPUEMIZING LYNCHING.

Under the caption, "Justifiable Kil.-
ing" the Chicago Times-Herald attempts
TO minimize the mob feature OF the re-
cent lvnching in Cook county. Ill. 1t
argues that the farmers, in pursuing the
brute only did what the law commands
all good citizens TO do, which Is to arrest
a man detected in the commission OF
crime. and that in this case, the criminal
having refused TO surrender, there was
no recourse but to shoot him down. In
conclusion, the Times-Herald says that
1t is but simple justice to point out that
this affair differs widely in many i'm
portant particulars from the lynchings
with which the public Of late has grown
too familiar.
What boshi and, as the Minneapolis
Tribune would say. Pharlseeism. The
affair was as square case Of lynching
as ever took place in this country, and
the farmers who dealt summarily with
the wretch were actuated by the same
motive that actuates citizens everywhere
else TO take the law into their own hands
when defenceless women are assaulted.
Human nature in Illinois, when 1t
comes to this matter, is not Inherent
from human nature in any other state,
as is proved not only by the lynching
of Thursday, but by the fact that on
Friday there came very near being an
other "justifable killing in the neigh
borhood of Chicago. Indeed, the scenes
of Friday were repetition of those or
Thursday up TO the last act, and the
omission of this act was due entirely to
the inability of the mob Of farmers to
catch the scoundrel they were pursuing.
The Chicago Chronicle. in its account of
Fridays demonstration. says that the
fugitive narrowly escaped lynchins by
excited citizens; that 1.-The anger Of the
citizens was at white heat; that they
swore vengeance on their would-be vic
tim. and that every stranger was stop
ned by the mob and compelled TO give
an account of himself. Verify, it would
seem about time that our friends at the
North were realizing what fragrant hy-
pocrisy it is for them to refer to lynch
ING as southern institution"

TILE nna NUISANCE.

He Thinks That Enemies Seek 10 Do
Him Harm.

A Boston telegram Of Sunday says: Ed
ward Parker Deacon was yesterday COM
mitted to the Mclean Hospital at wa
VERY. insane. He belongs to an old and
once distinguished family of this city. On
February II, 1892, he killed Emile Abeille,
in Mrs. Deacon's apartments at Cannes
France.
Mr.. Deacon came to Boston on Thurs
daV last from Narragansett Pier. accom-
Danied by his trusted valet and nurse.
They registered at the Hotel Bellevue, on
Beacon street, which place Mr.. Deacon
has made his home for several years
while in this city. He acted very pecu-
liarly soon after registering, and seemed
far from being in his right mind, but
being noted for eccentricities, nothing was
thought at first of the manner in which
he acted
On Thursday night, however, he grew
violent and his nurse and valet, who ac-
companied him. began to realize that Mr..
Deacon was demented. The attorney who
has charge of Mr.. Deacon's property as
trustee was summoned, and responded at
cnce The attorney sent for DR.. Jelly, an
expert on insanity. Shortly afterward Mr..
Deacon became demonstrative and dis
charged his nurse. Another nurse was
summoned. and all day Friday Mr.. Dea-
con was almost uncomfortable.
Finally, il was thought advisable TO
send Mr.. Deacon to Mclean Hospital as
a precautionary measure. When there he
ouleted down and appeared contented. He
looked haggard and worn, and seemed but
a shadow of his former self.
Ills Authorizations are that enemies
seek to do him harm. and the hospital
influence seems TO have relieved his mind
on this point. A consultation of physi-
clans has been called, but the seriousness
of the case has not been determined.

MANS PLACE At HOME.
If He In Not First. Then where Does
lie Bc1Ongs

A Washington correspondent says
that he met a certain senator walking
sadly along Capitol Hill chewing the
cud Of discomfort. The scribe asked him
what was the matter, and the states
man replied:
IL was just trying TO make up my
mind where / belong, anyhow. At nome
I'm always third on the list. My wife
comes first. then the dog. and then me.
II we had baby I'd be fourth"
Some families are so peculiarly con-
stituted that the man Is In even worse
fix than the Senator; but most people
will decide on-haDd that any head OF a
family who is SO little esteemed ~
home must be largely TO blame for MS
own depreciation.
The ideal home, according to Mrs.
Humphrey Ward, Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
and most OF the noted women writer's
OF the day, is place where there are
no bosses and no favorites, and where
ALI dwell on an harmonious footing Of
equality. II there are several children,
no one is to be singled out for special
care. favor, attention. or demonstra-
lions of affection; and II there Is dog
Il Is not to be regarded as superior 10
any member Of the family circle.
Tho general rule in well-regulated
families undoubtedly Is to place the
husband and father somewhat on pc
destal. Ho is the example whom all
follow in language and conduct, ana
his emnence in the little monarchy
where he is King naturally subjects
him to great responsibility. He must
see that intruders of all kinds are Kept
outside OF his realm, must guard MS
subjects against all attacks Of enemies
and must see that they are duly pro-
tected against the incursions or III
health. or the germs that breed disease
and death.
The American home is model for
the world to follow. For many years
it has been provided with Paine's celery
compound. that great scientific prepara-
ton which banishes sickness from the
home circle and helps to keep both
young and old strong and well. No
head Of a family who appreciates his
position and responsibility will fail TO
have the compound always ready at
hand, for it is always sure and safe in
action. prompt in doing good, and per-
manent in effect.

The Financial Chronicle saws:

ut seems to us that this years con-
vention OF the American Bankers Asso-
citation. held at Detroit. has brought out
a larger number of instructive papers
and addresses than any preceding con-
vention."
There is hardly a doubt about that.
Taking the papers read, as whole, they
indicated that the bankers had, during
the past year, come to a clearer recog-
milton than ever before Of the inadequacy
of the present system TO meet the bust
ness demands of the country. And while
we cannot encourage any expectation of
a change under existing conditions at
Washington. we may hope that the agi-
tation and some of the ideas that were
thrown out at Detroit will bear good
fruit I'm time

The Greeks are a wise people in some
respects, but they do not seem to know
when they have enough. They are now
insisting that King George reject the pro-
posed peace treaty between Greece and
Turkey, and renew the hostilities which
were interrupted by the truce. A great
meeting in Athens Sunday enthusiastically
~ adopted an address to the King with
this end in view.
