THE URBANA TRAGEDY.

The tragedy at Urbana, O.. is a de-
plorable affair in every respect 1t is
deplorable that the assault by the negro
Mitchell upon a respected woman was
made: it is deplorable that a couple of
citizens were killed by the militia in
repelling the assault upon the jail: it
is deplorable that the man Mitchell was
finally lyncfed.
The man who had made the assault
upon the woman was in the hands of
the officers. Moreover. he had pleaded
guilty and been given the full penalty
Of the law. What more could the people
of Urbana ask? It is evident they did
not care so much to vindicate the law
as to wreak vengeance on the prisoner
Being in the hands of officers. it was
their duty to protect him at all hazards,
and this they started out to do, but
failed ANONYMOUSLY That mob had no
business around the jail where the pris-
oner was confined, and it was there
simply to get possession of the prisoner
to lynch him; this was eventually done.
The militia company only did its duty
when it opened fire, but why it ceased
to do its duty at the last moment is
inexplicable. Had the Springfield COM
pany been marched up to the Jail the
majesty of the law would most likely
have been maintained. This was not
done. The deputy sheriff told the cap
tain of the company the militia was
not needed. so it returned to the depot
That deputy sheriff was an accessory
before the fact TO the murder through
lynching, of the prisoner Mitchell
The Ohio people are showing them
selves quite as ready TO indulge in
lynchings as the people of Tennessee.
and the manner in which they jumped
upon and beat their victim before they
hanged him shows they could very soon
be induced to burn a man at the stake.
So ear as the course of the local COM
pany of militia is concerned there is
this to be said in extenuation of its
action in refusing to do more to repel
the mob, that there was the discourag-
ing Washington court house case, in
which men, members Of the militia,
were pursued and bounded as though
they had been outlaws. for merely do
ing their duty. One cannot help Won
dering whether the Urbana affair is to
be a repetition of the Washington court |
house affair. If 1t is, it will be an adj !
ditional disgrace put upon Ohio.

MIss RICHARDS OF DENVER.

The question of women in politics has
come TO the front in Colorado all of a
sudden There has been no attack upon
made upon Miss Richards, the clerk of
the district court. in which office she
has been for some years. Two of the
judges of the court have issued card
explaining why they voted to remove
her. The reasons are very amusing
from their trivialty. These judges ex-
plain that they voted for her retire
ment because they believed all FIVE
would, but only three did. They also
claim that her physical health inter
feres with her official usefulness,
though the facts are all against the
theory. Another charge was that she
used her influence to defeat legislation
advised by the Judges for the pur-
pose of reducing her salary from $1,000
a year to $4,000 a year. OF another
charge. that of not informing the court
as tc the delinquencies of her predeces-
sor, the Denver Republican says that
"it is rather late in the day to blame
Miss Richards for not having informed
the judges of the delinquencies Of her
late predecessor in office. With a little
watchfulness on their part they could
Matt Adams was unfaithful to the
trust they reposed in him. 1t certainly
could not have escaped the attention
of any of them that he wilfully and
constantly ignored the duties of his of
flee, but, so far as the public knows
no movement, either secret or open,
was inaugurated by any of them to re-
quire him to do his work properly. or
to secure his removal until an invasti-
cation ordered by the county commits
sioners caused him to become a fusi-
tive from Justice. AS matter of
course, the three judges who voted for
the removal of Miss Richards have the
legal authority to enforce their man
date, but we hold that they ought to
reverse their action in this matter IN
less they have some better reasons to
sustain it than any yet made public.
and we hope that they will see their
way clear to pursue this course in the
interests of justice and public decency."
The Denver papers are championing
the cause of Miss Richards and that
they are making it interesting" for
the judges who voted for her retire
ment is evidenced by the fact that two

UTAH'S CREDIT.

The commercial credit and financial
standing of Utah and her business in
stitutions have always been a source of
just pride TO her people. During the
financial panic of 1898 and through all
the dull and heavy years since then
there was no such crashing of banks
and mercantile institutions as was wit
messed in other states. In fact the rec
ord of the state in this respect is some
thing very remarkable. And why was
this record possible? Simply because
the people of the state have generally
been conservative in their business
methods and paid their obligations
when they became due. But all this
counts for nothing with the Provo En-
cuirer. In its issue of last evening,
discussing the question of Utah's credit,
it said;
The election last fall failed TO en-
nance Utah's credit. one year ago this
state began its career with seemingly
unlimited credit, and the Utah COM
pany was planning railway projects
extending beyond the borders of the
state and even to the coast. Capital
seemed to be looking toward the new
state and an era of prosperity was
upon US.
Then came the fatal November cleo
ton day when 900 majority was piled
up for w. ]. Bryan. Soon after that
the Utah company thought it might
as well disincorporate: ii had evidently
heard from the eastern money centsrs-
Railway extension talk ceased, and the
Deep Greek road, which salt Lake has
been building since 1890, went into in
nocuous desuetude.'
Now il is revived again, upon the re-
turn of Hon. George Q. Cannon from
the eastern money centers. He now
says the original roadway has been
abandoned, and that the road win be
built from the Tintic country west,
provided" certain traffic arrangements
can be made with another road. 1t IS
TO be only a short branch now.
We do not wish TO cast any damper
on the ardent hopes of the people of
Utah for some railroading, but we
simply express ii as our belief -hst

FosTEh's WAR PANAcEA.

/ 1t is true that the present admins
tration has only been in power three
{ months and that as yet it has no
record upon which the people can base
a judgment When Major Mckinley
was elected president high hopes of
good times and great prosperity were
entertained, and by a majority of the
people it was believed that these hopes
would be realized with his Inaugural
ton as president. The high hopes have
not been realized; why they have not it
is needless to enquire, but the fact is
bald. And the existence of this bald
fact that these hopes of good times and
great prosperity have not been realized
is staring the Republican party in the
face and causing it and the admin
istration much apprehension as to the
future; and almost anything that
would divert the public mind from the
contemplation Of the depressed con-
dition Of BUSH ess, with its small hope
of revival in any approximately near
future, would be welcome That this is
SO is shown by what Hon. John w.
Foster, secretary OF the treasury and
of state under President Harrison. said
in an interview in New York last Mon
day. After discussing the political
situation in Ohio, in which he said ne
did not predict a walk-over for the
Republicans. he said that as much as
he deplored war, he believed that a
war with Spain would be beneficial in
many ways. Then he added:
I should deeply regret to see war, but
If il should come l firmly believe it
would do more than anything else, at
present, to bring about better times.
There are rlany now not employed. and
a war would make things active for a
time here. Cuba could be overrun and
there would be a vast field for employ
ment. 1t would only be a question OF
short time when Spain would be driven
from Cuba, but the mere equipping of
volunteer army TO drive Weyler and his
200, 600 soldiers into the sea would in
crease activity wonderfully in this
country. Still, l am for peace, and l
hope we will reach better times by
more pacific methods.
So war, at present. would do more,
in the opinion of ex-Secretary of the
Treasury and ex-Secretary of State
John W. Foster. to bring about better
times than the maintenance of the gold
standard. the enactment of a high
tariff law, the appointment of a mon
etary commission, the opening of the
mills or anything else SO at last the
identity of the advance agent of pros
perity has been established, and it is
Grim Visaged War. What a comment
upon the administration, what con-
fession of failure is this statement of
Mr. Fosters upon what would bring |
better times. He believes that things /
must become worse before they can be-
come better.
That war would make things more ac- !
tive for a time there can be no question. /
But after a time. what then? Mr.. !
Fosters firm belief that a war would .
DO more than anything else, at present.
to bring about better times. does no (
credit to either his head or his heart. /
He appears 10 be one of those who
firmly believe in doing evil that good
may come.

The New York Evening Post says
that the Geography of Cold is the
suggestive title of the opening article
in the Annales de Geographic for May.
1t is by NJ. de Foville, "directeur de
administration des monnaies." and
gives an historic summary, with nu-
merous tables of the production of gold
from the most ancient times to 1896
NJ de Foville thinks that the amount
of gold in use in early days was COM
paratively very small, notwithstand-
ing the numerous assertions to the con-
trary; that ii actually decreased from
the sixth TO the tenth century of our
era, and that the total production of
the ten centuries preceding the dis
covery of America was only ten cubic
metres. The year 1896 will show. in
his opinion. an increase over that of
1895, which he estimates at 1.075, 900
of francs. or twice the product of 1893.

porters claimed. why is it this state has
not felt benefited thereby?
If capitalists are not investing in
Utah it is well to remember that thev
are not investing in other states either.
II it is the black blotch of Bryanism'
that is keeping capital out of this
state, what sort of a .'blotch'' is it
that is keeping it out of those states
which voted for Mckinley?

compliment to the people of Utah. The
