The Lynch Law Problem.

The state of the public mind in the
South on the subject of lynching may
be learned from the fact that a news
paper in the prominent city of Atlanta
has come out with an editorial article
warmly commencing this manner Of
violating the Law. 1t is manifest that
that article would not have been writ

writer's mind as to how ii would be re-
ceived Lynchings are more and more
common in the South, and are never
punished A form of mob violence
which unsexes women, and in which
the most eminent ana usually respect
able citizens participate, is matter
that is unquestionably difficult to han
die. This is what is seen in almost
every instance of this character. Deli
cate and well bred women throng the
streets to witness the writings of the
dying wretch Business and profess
sional men in vengeful frenzy join the
mob and help to execute its wishes.
This is not seen alone in the South.
Not long ago in the great state ii
Ohio this repulsive exhibition was wit
messed. New England does not know
such scenes and cannot understand
them.

pears to have little or no deterrent af-
feet on those who should be most i'm

of assaults on white women are found
in the newspapers and few of the as
sailants escape dreadful fate.
Nevertheless, this question could be
settled Il the authorities would deal
with it in a stern manner. If the news
papers get to applauding lynchers for
their work the evil and the scandal viii
grow ana it is only a question of time
when the mob viii extend its operations

Why should it not do so? If it may

instance. why not in another?

The Price OF Armor Plate.

We publish, elsewhere in this issue,
the full text of Mr.. Boutelle's able
speech upon the Senate amendment -
the general deficiency bill fixing 5000
per ton as the maximum price which
should be paid for armor plate. The
refusal of responsible firms to put in
bids within this limitation has already
been noted in the Associated Press dis
patches, and bids fair to seriously ar
rest naval development al time whea
the outlook for foreign complications
would seem to give special emphasis
to the Importance of vigorous action in
this direction.
We believe that time will vindcatc
the soundness of Mr.. Boutele's position
upon this question. Certainly there
was no successful attempt on the part
of members of the National House OF
Representatives to refute. either the
facts or the logic of his address, which
abounded in both. The matter is one
that deserves to be thoroughly under
stood by the American people and W.

readers

No newspapers in any other great ma
ton in the world have as little knowl-
edge of their governments intentions
and as small an influence on its actions
as the British press. The Venezuelan
controversy, the different seal fishery
disputes. including the present one and
every other disagreement which has
arisen between the United States and
England in the past score of years, have
revealed an irrepressible conflict be-
tween the British newspapers and
British authorities. In all these dis
putes between this country and England
the thing which the English press said
their government could not and must
not do under any circumstances turned
out to be the very thing which the gov
ernment did do ultimately.

Our Exhibit at Brussels.

1t is not very pleasant for Americans
VINO pride themselves above all other
things. on the fact that this is one of
the greatest and most progressive pro-
ducing countries on the face of the
globe. to learn that the exhibit of the
United States at the Brussels exposi-
ton is exciting jeers and reproach from
other governments, especially when we
are forced to admit that there is emil
nent cause for such levity. The Amer
lean display at the Belgian show is a
most miserable affair. Manufacturers
have shown no enthusiasm over it, with
the exception of the bicycle. agricul-
tural implement and tool makers.
The commissioner general of the
United States at the Brussels exhihi-
ton says that the apathy of American
manufacturers is due mainly to the
fact that Congress did not approximate
a sufficient sum of money to encourage
creditable showing. This is undoubt-
eddy statement of a fact. The sum

Has the Sultan Crawled7

If cable reports are to be believed the
most high and mighty Sultan Of fur-
key, Abdul Hamid. is slowly and grace
fully crawling into his Shell. He re-
off to the northwara is not the snoring
of the Russian bear, and after defying
all the powers of Europe he now makes
some more promises and executes an
other apparent retreat. Threatened
with the severance Of diplomatic rela-
tons by the six powers which call
themselves a concert because each
vigorously blows its own horn, the Sui
tan has slid out. Of his tight corner by
formally announcing his readiness 10
accept the Greek frontier agreed upon
by the military attaches of the foreign
embassies. This means that instead Of
Selling upon one-third of Thessaly, or
all above the Salamoria river, he is at
length willing to add to his domain the
mountain passes which before the war
constituted the northernmost holdings
of Greece, together with a couple Of
Greek villages on the plain 10 the south
OF the mountains east of the Pindus
range.
But it is much easier for the Turk to
promise than to execute a promise. 1t
costs nothing to sign new trade, but 1t
may cost much to withdraw victoyi-
Gus army from country conquered by
the sword, in violation of the famous
Mosiem principle that what is taken in
battle should be relnquished only in
battle. Theoretically the Sultan has
surrendered to combined Europe; but
thus far his concession is only in
theory. His great army still overruns
the entire province of Thessaly, at least
200. 900 strong, and he may be expected
to insist that it remain there until the
peace negotiations. including the in

agreement signed, sealed and delivered
All this will take time, and may be
fraught with difficulties and discussions

even in the absence of these. Abdul
Hamid would find it easy to arrange
rebellion on the part of his army
against abandoning territory won in
war. and thus place himself in a posi-
ton of apparent helplessness. with his
throne and even his head in danger.
The Turk is as sly as serpent and as
slippery as an eel. He is a superb tao
tician. If his present surrender is to be
of any value to Greece, Europe must
insist upon an immediate evacuation of
Thessaly, reopening ii to agricultural
industry, without waiting for the COM
pletion of other matters in dispute

Buzzards. Feathered and Otherwise.

Did you ever see a buzzard? No?
aswe think. The buzzard, Buteo Vulga-
ris, is a scavenger bird. tits ever seeking
decay, rottenness and death 1t feasts
on carrion and offal. and will fly almost
an incredible distance in search of it's
chosen food over the fields of grain
and flowers, over the clear flowing
brooks that carry health and life in
every ripple, it flies far above the at
tractive things of earth.
In the economy of nature the buzzard
may fill niche of it's own and serve
helpful purpose: but this scavenger
bird, too cowardly to fight, too lazy to
earn living by active competition and
too debased to have any aspiration
above the offal on which it gorges it's
ill-odored carcass, is not a figure to at
tract nor model to be admired.
But certain buzzards do not fly. Some
of them walk and wear clothing. Those
that fly have no voice; those that do not
have little else. The calamity waller
is the buzzard of the industrial world.
He does not hear the hum of awaken
ing prosperity; he does not perceive
the smoke arising from factory Chin
neys long given over to the feathered
masons for their habitations: he does
not know that bank clearances are
heavier. that business failures are few

Wheat and Silver.

The wheat market and the silver
which every free silver agitator mus
feel to be highly reprehensibie.
If there is one principle more than
another which the free silver agitator
insists on it is that the price of wheat
is, so to speak, hitched to the price %
silver Wheat was low when the free
silver propaganda was the most active
and all the orators, from Bryan down,
insisted that it was because silver had
been cuffed, maltreated and discredited.
Gold, they proclaimed, had appreciated
The farmer got less for his wheat be-
cause Of the maintenance of the in
famous gold standard The remedy
was to "rehabiltate" silver, and then
everything would be serene with the
farmer.
This propaganda ran against snaS

ended, because wheat began to rise,

tors. however, had an explanation
ready. 1t was the gold bugs and
money sharks of Wall street who were
boosting wheat with a malevolent pur-
pose to refute the free silver argument
Now, however, the same movements
are at work, and they cannot be ex.

one year ago wheat sold in New York
at 6312 cents per bushel; this week it
touched S65s cents. July %, 1896, silver
bullion sold in New York at 69A cents
per ounce; July 90, 1897, it sold at 591e
cents.
Here, in round numbers, is a gain in
the price of wheat of % cents per bush
Ell, and coincident with it a drop of ten
cents an ounce in the price of silver.
What, then, becomes of the Bryanite
theory that wheat goes up as silver
goes up, and vice versa?

spent a large amount Of money on the
in the form of a most excellent presen-
tation of their home goods. A large
amount of trade always results from
such exhibits and the United States has
certainly lost an excellent opportunity
to advance her manufacturing interests
by her neglect to show her goods.
What might have been accomplished is
demonstrated by the enthusiastic re-
ception given by our bicycle manufact-
urers, whose display is a creditable one
and has set foreign makers to thinking.
Undoubtedly America puts out the best
bicycles in the world, but her superior
ity is not confined to this branch of
trade. In nearly all mechanical devices
and implements we lead the world. We
have nothing to fear from any competi-
tor. if our goods are put in fair opposi-
ton to those of the world.
At the Paris exhibition of 1899 we
will have a chance to redeem the Brus-
sells error. and there is good reason to
think that the American displays there
will be the peer of the best. The
