The press laws. and more especially
as administered in Germany, disgrace
civilization. Almost daily some editor
or some mere clown Is pulled up and
fined or sent to prison, or both, for n
passing and respectful criticism of i'm
perial rant and nonsense, or for some
clumsy witticism about his royal high
ness coat or the way his nibs sits his
horse! We cannot conceive of a high
spirited and brave people enduring
such insult tamely, without resenting

An assassin made an attempt upon
the life of the President of Mexico. He
was arrested and held in confinement.
BY the connivance of the chief of po-
lice, mob gained possession Of his
person and put him to death. Their
act of violence was intended as an act
Of devotion to, and affection for, wise
and good ruler. To the president him.
self the form Of the compliment
robbed it of its value. Its lawlessness
defeated his purpose to give the Grim
inal a fair trial. He held those who
took the mans life in vulgar fury to
be guilty Of murder. Accordingly he
caused the arrest of the chief Of police,
who after confessing his fault, COM
mitted suicide in prison. Other per-
sons in authority, who had approved
or failed to resist the attack upon the
assassin, were promptly deposed from
office; and twenty-one participants In
the actual killing Of the man were ar
rested and held for trial. This is the
way President Diaz deals with lynch
ers and their abettors. 1t Is a good
way. It emphasizes the fact that mob
vengeance, while it may seem an act
of justice in the abstract, really de-
feats justice and imperils society by its
method. Fury imposes no respect, and
the stroke of rage has no solemnity.
The only impressive treatment Of
crime, and the only one consistent with
social safety, is public trial and pub
lie punishment This is orderly and
dignified; and no surer way is found to
fasten guilt and rescue innocence than
by the established forms Of law.

Great Britain may boast that her
drumbeat is heard round the world.
The United States will very quickly,
even If she cannot do so now, be able
to boast that the sun never sets upon
the handiwork of her inventors and

forts, she moves the world.

other companies Of the George Creek re-
gion are working their mines up 10 their
full capacity. The Consolidation COM
pany have for some time had plan IN
view by which they can get out more
coal. 1t understood that the company
will shortly erect a large electric light
plant. by which they will be able to light
all of their mines and can then work
many Of their mines on double turns. The
company, it is said, have had the mat
ter under consideration for some time
and IL is believed they will begin work on
the new plant before many days.
The consolidation company have had
a party prospecting for coal at Woodland
Run. near Midland, for some time, and
the result is said to be very satisfactory.

in that place this spring. 4 party of

A LESSON IN THE FLOOD.

The prospects are that the worst of the
fiood Is over. The horror of it all has
been great and we hope that lesson lies
behind it. 1t Is that some provision be
made, before the recurrence of the dis
aster, to guard against its ravages. The
levee system presents some good points,
but there are thought to be other and
better methods in the category of engi-
neering. Whatever system is employed,
it will be a costly undertaking and will
mean years of work. But the property
safety alone would justify the expendi-
ture, to say nothing OF the saving OF
human life.
The river commission will have this
problem to deal with. 1t should be sup.
piled With money aud engineers. The re-
suits will justify heavy expenditure
The next serious food may be expected in
about four or five years. The government
should be ready for 1t.
