LITERARY NOTES
Report of the Cosmopolitan Commission
or to India.

With the exception of the noted
Words Fair number of The CosmOpol-
itan, which reached a price of five dol
lars copy after the last edition had
been exhausted, no stronger number
of this magazine has ever been issued
than that for July, 1897. The report
of Julian Hawthorne, the Special Com
missioner sent by The Cosmopolitan
to India to investigate the horrors of
the plague and famine, is of an extra
ordinary character, and Will open the
eyes of the world to conditions which
were scarcely suspected. The same
number contains what is probably the
greatest poem of this quarter of the
nineteenth century. This new rend-
ering of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat,
which departs entirely from Fitzger-
AIDS, occupies four pages. Amelie
Rives reappears as a stOry-teller for
the first time since her marriage with
Prince Troubetzkoy. One of the clev-
crest stories yet from the pen Of Rob-
ert w. Chambers is given. The re-
markable story of the War of the Mar
tians, by Wells, which is attracting
the attention both of the scientific and
non-scientific good-story loving pub
lie, is continued, and there is fourth
by a'Becket, deliberately illustrated by
the humOr of Peter Newell. The edu-
cational discussion-this time by Pro-
lessor Peck, of COlumbia-the story Of
. The Everyday Life OF Sister of the
Charity" deliberately illustrated "The
Genesis of Comic Opera" given by
Reginald de Koven President Gilman,
of the Johns Hopkins University, on
"The Bankruptcy of SCIENCE" and an
interesting story by the Greek who
conceived and brought into existence
The Streets of Cairo at the Worlds
Fair"-these are some OF the contents
OF this ten-cent magazine.

THE ORIMEAND THE CRIMINALS

We are often led to wonder why
some of our people are led of by the
arguments of some OF our white con-
temporaries, relative to lynchings.
Whenever a white journal yells that
lynchings will cease when crime is eli
minated from the world, tits equiva-
lent to saying that the millennium alone
will bring an end to its existence.
Law was established with the dis
tinct understanding that crime would
be committed. Were there no crime
and no criminals, there would be no
need for any law.
But, man is q wicked creature. He
is as prone TO do evil as are the sparks
to fly upward, and it is not confined to
any race of people.
This being true, we should permit
the law to exercise its power and not
usurp its power. When we do other.
wise we produce anarchy, and thereby
place ourselves on par with the viii
liam we essay to punish. This is al
plain as anything we'll could be.
1t is not the severity of the punish
ment which checks crime, but the GER
tainty of it.
History has established this fac
time and again. Draco's laws were 81
severe that they were said to be writ
| ten in blood.
He punished the guilty with dealt
for all offences whether slight or helm
Gus, and gave as his excuse that Jesse
crimes deserved death and he coul'
lind no sevcrer punishment for create
ones.
No one will charge that these pun
ishments eliminated either the Grim
or criminals.
The Law was finally abolished. An
so it will always be. The founders c
this government realized this and pro
fitted by this experience when it de
creed that "cruel and unusual punish
ments" shall not be reserted to.
The worst-whipped child is general
the most discbedient. Judicious pun
ishment counts for all.
The English system is the grandes
in the world and lynchings are ur
known within the confines of tn
British Isles.
But, the awakening will come. Gu
rights will yet be respected. Whit
men will see in our injury thei
own undoing. Lynch-law will gol

JUDGE DIssETTE of the common pleas
court has declared the Ohio Anti
Lynching Law unconstitutional for the
alleged cause that it sought to author
i4e the county commissioners to levy
tax to pay judgements obtained by
victims of mob violence. He declares
that such a tax would be levied for
private purposes accordingly would be
in violation of the state constitution.
The case will be appealed to high
er court. Is there any Legislation
which can be construed in our favor ?
Is there any law enacted for the bene-
ii of the public and which indirectly af
fects us that will be permitted to stand
when we make the test of its efficacy?
1t would seem not. But we await the
decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio.

of conspiracy to restrict trade which
took place in New York recently re-
suited in hung jury. Two of the ju-
ors we're for an aequittal. This was
the first practical effort to curb and

The effect will be widespread and
