AN AROUSED GOVERNOR.

Governor Bradley has worthy second TO his
determination to enforce law In Governor Atkin-
son of Georgia. The Kentuckian declared the
other day when he pardoned Dinning that while
he was in office no man should "be punished
"for killing n member Of n mob who elect 10
take his life or drive him from his home
Now the Georgian says to the people or hiS
State: Men seem to forget that each man who
engages in a lynching violates the law against
"murder. and that the penalty is death upon the
"gallows. The arresting officer Is now clothed
with power to take the life of his assallants
rwhen resisting their efforts TO take prisoner
from him, and it is his duty TO take the life
"of the assailants if necessary 10 protect his
"prsoner and retain him In custody.
That Is the kind Of talk which has long been
needed from Governors. 1t Is in splendid con-
trast with the Georgia editor who has Just been
thanking God for the activity of mobs which
strip and whip women and try to hang them
Governor Atkinson has lively conception Of
the spreading poison of lynch law He says
that the lawlcssness has reached the point that
a fugitive has been compelled TO take refuge
in the office of the Governor, and beg protec-
ton and n chance for an orderly trial. lie
quotes a recent case in which lynchers brought
about the murder of the father Of the woman
whose wrongs they professed TO avenge. and he
draws the conclusion that there Is no middle
ground between absolute enforcement Of order
and complete anarchy. Therefore he recon-
mends laws to punish sheriifs who fail to pro-
tect prisoners, and calls for the prosecution Of
all those who attempt to interfere with the law
ful administration Of justice
Evidence Is yet needed that this view Of Gov
ernor Atkinson is the popular one in his State
Unfortunately, recent events have given It
disgraceful prominence for willing indulgence
in slaughter But there is no doubt that a Wig
orous policy can soon change the feeling as it
has been changed in North Carolina. First
rapid and sure process Of the criminal courts is
required. Then courage on the part of public
officers to defy popular passion even to the
point Of shooting those who dare to interfere
with the performance of their duties. A few
stern lessons will bring the Georgia roughs to
their senses and the respectable elements, de-
prived Of the stimulation Of irresponsible urging
TO violence and assured that the courts are do
ing their duty. will settle down TO the quiet be-
coming citizens Of a civilized State. Lynchng

THE LIBRARY PLANS.

The choice of twelve designs for the New
York Public Library from among the scores
submitted in the preliminary competition con-
vcys the agreeable assurance that the practical
execution of this great enterprise is actually
beginning. Some anxiety has been expressed
lest the conditions imposed by the trustees
should ultimately subject them to the necessity
of selecting a plan OF inferior merit by reason
Of the failure of architects Of the highest rank
10 take part in the competition This apprehen.
sion is at least premature and probably ground
less. In this matter as in all the legal and legis-
lative processes which they have conducted, the
trustees have been sagacious and skllful. 1t is
true that The architects who are generally recog-
nized as the most eminent men in their prOfcs-
sion did not enter this primary competition, but
their abStention was foreseen and caused little
or no disappointment; for the conditions pre-
scribcd provide subsequent opportunity for the
enlistment of their talents. When from the
twelve designs just tentatively chosen the best
six have been picked out the committee of the
library trustees will arbitrarily associate with
their authors six others for the purpose Of a
second competition. 1t IS certain that their list
will include the foremost architects in the coun-
try, and they entertain no doubt that their in
vitatlon will be accepted.
II Is therefore safe 10 assume that the design
which will finally be accepted will have been
subjected to a severe test and survived only be-
cause 1t deserved to. 1t does not follow. OF
course that II will be the work Of an archi-
tect whose fame has already been established.
1t Is by no means impossible that the greatness
of his opportunity may have inspired some
younger and less distinguished member Of the
profession TO produce design which will not be
surpassed, and such demonstration Of rising
talent would be welcome Moreover It would
Involve no risk at any subsequent stage Of the
undertaking, for the trustees have wisely re-
served 10 themselves the right in that case to
associate with the winner an architect Of their
own selection. whose capacity to execute as
well as plan has been abundantly established
There is no reason, we repeat, 10 fear that the
new library building will be Of inferior merit

Of one district laid out their plan iu
what WAS thon the usuai way; they
made streets Of prairie soil with neat
open bitches on each side, and they
left proper spaces for sidewalks, along
which trees were planted. They hit
upon good name, issued Autographs
and advertised, with no very profit

The managers of the other district
borrowed a large sum of money NJ y

underlaid the l'rG with several miles

last night by way of California for
his home. Professor Dyche went to
Cooks Inlet especially in search OF
natural history specimens, He as.
cended TO the source of the Knik River
with an organized expedition, which
was success although the obstacles

native boatmen stripped and WITH
ropes pulled the boat up the tuI bulent
river. Professor Dyche obtained
specimens of n new mountain sheep,

sea otter, birds and other small ami
mails, On July II Professor DychC
saw eight inches Of snow fall, and on
August IL six inches fell. He saw
three smoking mountains. and expert
enced an earthquake. He found large
coal lodges, but the coal was so soft
that il could be whitfield with a knife.
