The general tendency of the crimina

MURDER UNPUBLISHED.

The very light, almost ipconse-
qnential punishment visited upon Bob
Cannon, the Wilkes county convict
guard, for his brutal crime, was an
outrage upon Justice.
The story of Cannon's inhnmanity
is enough in itself 10 justify many OF
he attacks in the northern press on
the treatment of the negro of the
south.
Frank McCrary, c0lOred convict,
nearly 20 years old, failed. no doubt
from physical inability, to work as
rapidly as his fellow prisoners.
Cannon, a guard, proct eded to beat
the old man-not once, but a number
or times during the day. Finally,
nearly dead, his aged body smartine
under the stings of he lash, Nc
Crazy was chained between two trees
and left to bear alone the anguish of
his punishment. There, after endur-
ing nameless suffering, he died.
And the great state of Georgia, rep
resented by the superior court of
Wilkes county and petit jury there
Of, gives the murderer Of this nnfor-
tunate old negro the merely nominal
sentence of one Year IN the peniten-
tiary ora fine OF $500.
What was Cannon's claim To elem
ency? Did 1t lie in he fact that the
state had unwittlngly employed a
savage brute IN its service, and felt
bound to shield him as much as posi-
Bile? Was it because the eloquent and
influential Tom Watson harangued
the jury in his behalf? Did he have a
pulp" Or was it another evidence OF
what so many Of us fear, that the adj
ministra'ion of The laws IN Georgia
is becoming slipshod and without
efrect9
II the killing of this old negro was
not murder IN the first degree then

the points of comparison between a

COME OUT TONIGHT.

Tonight will be one of the most i'm
portant in the recent history of st.
Paul. Upon the action taken by the
meeting to be held at the Commercial
club, in the interests of the Mechanic
Arts school and of new charter, will
depend, not merely the fate of that par
ticular institution, but, we are con-
vinced, to a very large degree the fu-
ture of the city itself. The question
is whether there is enough intelligent
public spirit here to take hold of a.
practical problem and a practical stu
alton and deal with it in the right way.
we have dallied and dawdled and Cos
siped and flooded the town with oceans
Of talk over the school situation. and
not one helpful thing has yet been done.
The only result was to send abroad
false impression concerning our schools
and general finances and do the city
Infinite detriment. Finally, method
of retrenchment was approved which
would necessitate the closing of an in
st1tutton whose practical value is at
tested by our business men who have
had occasion to employ pupils or to
include their own children among its
attendants. It is. we believe, the de-
sire of an overwhelming majority of
the voters and property-holders of ST.
Paul that the economies which our
outworn charter enforces should be
made by reducing the length of the
! school year. If the people come out
in force tonight and speak their minds
plainly, We shall have an end of this
most injurious agitation, and can fix
upon method of retrenchment that
will do the least harm either to the
school children of st. Paul or to the
| reputation of the city itself.
In the same spirit must the move
ment for new charter be considered.
1t is a question of progress, of develop
ment, of public spirit, of active. ener-
getic civic life. Do all our people wear
growth of moss upon their backs. Or
are they alive and their faces turned
toward the future? Are they satisfied
to sit down under the restrictions and
limitations that now retard their
growth because they have not ambi-
ton and push enough to place them
selves in the front rank? We look to
this meeting tonight to demonstrate
the existence here Of strong and
wholesome public spirit and a determi-
nation to give st. Paul what she needs
! and to direct her affairs for the future
with livelier interest and a more in
! telligent care. That will do more for
US than any addition to material re-
sources; for, first and last, it is men
who make a city and determine its
character and its fate. Let everybody
interested in the schools and eyery-
body who loves ST. Paul come out to

education and for our advancement as

GIVE THE LIFE INSURANCE.

When Men Are Suddenly Taken
Away, Why Should Not the Fact
and Amount of Their Insurance
BE ChronicIed!
The daily chapter of fatalities is a dis
tnguishing feature Of newspaper compilation.
Apart from the deaths resultant from crimes,
really much more meagre showing than
is usually supposed, the fatalities from acci-
dent of every sort, including sudden deaths
from disease, constitute neyer-ending pro-
cession. Grim interest attaches to each case,
whether 1t be that Of an individual life lost or
of hundred, and even the highest minded,
most conservatively conducted, journals al
ways present the sad facts just as they have
occurred. Nothing possibly be more
strictly news" than this record of disaster,
for the sudden and awful departure of hu-
man souls is something Of which every sem
tient being has the right and desire to know.
1t has long seemed as though fitting ac-
compartment to this chronicle of accidental
death would be invariable mention of the
fact that the victims lives were or were not
insured, and II so to what exact amount
The fact that a man suddenly stricken down
was poor or rich, married or single Is usually
ing In life, or the peculiar circumstances of
the death itself, as the case may seem to
demand. This is proper enough. but quite
as much so would be the added information
as to his life insurance.
When a fire has occurred in city or coun-
try the amount of the loss and the totality
of the insurance is published a matter OF
course. When man. or a score of men are
thrust out of the world by relentless fate,
the loss is sadly enough total" in more
senses than one-total to their earthly hopes,
ambitions and careers, and often, alas! total
to the peace and happiness Of those whom
they leave behind. Surely, the evidence OF
their forethought and judgment. and of the
pangs of poverty spared their bereaved de-
pendents, shown by the life insurance car
the whole dire occurrence. The insurance on
a man is quite as noteworthy as that upon a
barn,
