MAINTAINING PRINCIPLES.

The Republican organization could not bring
itself TO accept Seth Low as the union candi-
date for Mayor-nrst. because he stood on the
platform of municipal non-pariisanship. and

Republican parry on the tariff and voted against
its candidate for President. though atterward

THE BEHRING SEA CONFERENCE.

The special cable dispatch from The Trib-
unes London correspondent which was printed
Yesterday set forth In clear and convincing
manner the facts relating to the present appar-
ent hitch In arrangements for the international
sealing conference AS already well known
Great Britain and Canada are hesitating to en-
ter the conference because Russia and Japan
also are to participate In IT, and some superser-
yiceable British newspapers are saying that the
invitation 10 those Asiatc Powers was an after
thought or a smart Yankee trick" on the part
OF this Government. which first got Great Brit
ain and Canada to agree to enter conference
with the United States alone and then called IN
two other Powers to aid it IN outvOting the Brit
ish and Canadian representatives. Or course
no such charge has been made by the British
Government or by any responsible authority
and no well-informed person imagines II to be
true: but since it has been put forward widely
and might be accepted as true by some. to the
detrlment Of popular goodwill between the ma
lions. Il Is well to refute It explicitly, as Mr.
Ford has done
It was perfectly well known TO all who took
the trouble to read the daily news that this
Government from the beginning Intended to in
vite Russia and Japan to the conference.
speclal envoy was sent TO Russia for that pur
nose. The American Ambassador at London
made the fact plain to Lord Salisbury. The
Russian Ambassador there did the same. So
did the Japanese Minister. The British Gov
ernment must have understood that the United
States meant TO invite Russia and Japan as
clearly rs 1t understood that the United States
wanted to have conference at all. Moreover.
in his note to the British Foreign Minister for
mally expressing the desire Of this country for
a conference, the American Ambassador specih-
calIy stated that 1t was 10 be a conference OF
ALI the interested Powers. To that Lord Sails
bury replied, agreeing to enter conference
constituted by Great Britain Capada and the
United States. but in no way intimating in the
slightest degree whether he was or was not
willing 10 meet also with Russia and Japan.

20 UNPUBLISHED and unrebuked. For In the long
list of mob-law murders which have blotted the
administration Of justice for year past in this
country none OutdOes in causelessncss and wan
tonness the brutal outrage committed in Indiana
two weeks ago. Odium has been heaped on the
South for the passionate rigor with which in
.hat section the commission OF particular
crime has been followed by the infiction OF
summary and extra-legal penalties. Yet the
felony usually avenged by lynching In the
South Is itself capital offence and entails death
on legal conviction so that if guilt can be clear
" established. the popular verdict has at least
the palliating excuse that ii simply outr,lns the
more lcaden-f footed course Of justice. But the
lynchngs ut Versailles have behind them not
even the poor justification that they fastened
the infection Of just and adequate prnsh-
mcnt OF the Ave victims shot and hanged
none bh been accused Of committing capital
crime Two had actually been indicted FOR
burglary. and The other three were merely heid
rs possible accessories or witnesses. Yet with
no more hoinous or Unpardonablc offences on
their heads all five were hurried by an infuri-
ated mob to tn" nearest improviscd gallows.
Culpable rs It may DO, the South has set i'll lis
repeated resorts to lynch law no more deplor-
able example Of brutal violence or contempt for
established order.
Indiana certainly cannc, afford 20 rest under
the scandal which n failure 10 prosecute the
Versailles lynchcrs will inevitably entail. As
one OF the oldest and most conservative OF the
Western States she cannot allow her standards
of civiliza ton to be lowered and her escutche0n
stained by al unrcbukcl resort 10 methods OF
vengeance which find their Justification only on
the distant and isolated frontier. And the Ion
ger public PREPARATION for the Versailles outrage
is delayed the more seriously will Indiana's
status as progressive and law-abldlng portion
of the Union be compromised and impaired.

4 STl7E's COOP NAME Of TRIAL.

The failure Of The Ripley County Grand Jury
TO find indictments against any Of the parici-
pants IN the recent lynchingS at Versailles Ind,
threatens to fix melancholy stigma on the
administration of justice and order in the
Uooslcr State. The jC.y, IL seems. notwlth-
Standing the opcnne>s WIN which the mob car
ried out It's muritrocs pUrposc, has declared
itself unable TO fasen or any or" NJ actual
share in ;he lynchings aci has reported this
negative and barren conclusion to the State
authorities at Indianapolis Governor Mount
IS naturally chagrlned at the turn things have
taken in the local courts. and has ordered the
Attorney General OF the StGte t. go 10 Ripley
County and insist on n rcopenihf of the abar-
dOned investigation.
Yet without the earnest cooperation Of Local
sentiment it Is apparent that no effective steps
can be taken to bring to punishment the per
petrators of the shocking outrage OF September
H. How far such local 60 Operation can be
evoked and stimulated by the fixed purpose OF
the State administration 10 vindicaie the offend
ed majesty OF the law the future blone can de

ference ~ an ominous one, for 1t Is but the COM

Mount Is Ia be commended sincerely for his
fight ia hold opinion in Ripley County to tho
point Of purglng itself Of It's own sins OF LAW
lcssnrss and violence, and IT, Is to he hoped That
he will not relax the pressure % State authority
until the leaders Of the Versailles mob are
brought TO justice and Indiana rcgains her good
name among the orderly. civilized and law
abiding American States.
