Nl,KINLEN'G UINOR.

II seems that President Mckinley not
only has a keen sense Of humor. but is
given to practical jokes. Last week, at
Philadelphia, he made speech opening
a commercial museum. where the lead
ing products of this and other Ameri-
can nations will be congregated. and
commercial information distributed, to
the end of fostering trade. "and pro-
noting closer trade relations between
the United States and the Spanish-Ameri-
can nations"
When we remember that President Nc
Kinley is the embodiment of a policy
that tends directly to the restriction of
trade. and Is directly antagonstic to the
purposes Of the museum, the part he
played in Philadelphia, deserves TO rank
as a practical joke of the first magnitude.
But the funniest phase of the whole
business was that some of the repre-
sentatives Of South American countries
present did not see the joke at all. In
their speeches they inveighed against
high protection, thus seriously critics.
ing the presence of the President, and
showing an utter lack of appreciation of
North American humor.

Two negroes were hanged yesterday
for precisely similar crimes. but the
circumstances OF their respective deaths
presented a contras: that should set
some people 10 thinking and suggest for
bearance in judgment.
In each case the crime was brutal
criminal assault by worthless negro
upon a respectable white woman of ma
ture years-a widow. The two cases
were, in all their features. very much
alike. the circumstances OF the crimes
being revolving and horrifying.
The criminals were arrested. brought
TO trial. the crime proved against them.
they were sentenced. and both confessed
their guilt The indignation OF the peo-
ple in both localities was reused TO the
highest pitch, but in the one case threats
of lynching were not carried out ana
the guilty wretch yesterday expiated his
crime on the gallows in strict accordance
with law, and there was no excitement.
In the other, there was riot the mill
tary were called out and fred into the
frenZied mob, killing two ana Woundlhs

and the miserable criminal dragged

out the self-constituted executioners
taking any precautions against being
identified. well knowing that the sym
pathy of the officials and the sentiment
of the community in general were with
them.
Now comes the startling and signi-
fcant feature of the case. The negro
who died on the scaffold in strict ac-
cordance with law and without popu-
lar excitement suffered in Virginia. lie
who was torn from jail by frenZied
mob. beaten, kicked, and Illegally hanged
from a telegraph pole, was lynched IN
Ohio.
The press of this and other northern
States has been vigorous and unsparing

lynchngs for aggravated criminal out
RACES. The fact that the victims OF the
lynchines were always negroes and that
the white lynchers were never brought
10 Justice. but were said to have the
sympathy of the most respectable
classes" in their acts, has frequently
been adducedr as evidence or color pre-
iudice and disregard of law in the South
when negroes are concerned. What can
any Ohio man say hereafter when the
circumstances surrounding the hanginss
at Fairfax Va, and at Urbana, o., on
Friday. June 4, 1897, are recalled and
contrasted?

HON TO MAKE GOLD.

A week or more ago the Dispatch re-
lated how a group OF Chicago men had
brought to the attention OF the Treasury
Department n formula for manufacturing
gold and silver on a comm ercial basis
out Of base metals. They wish patent
for their discovery but Commissioner
Butterworth has not yet decided whether
he will or will not grant them patent
for their process. The Commissioner Is
now considering a request of the syndi-
cate to send second commissioner to
conduct tests with the plant at Chicago.
The syndicate asks the right TO appoint
one OF the three members of this commits
sion. The Commissioner of Patents Is
to appoint the other two. All expenses
are to be paid by the syndicate. and it
has promised to give a certified check
for any amount Commissioner Butter
worth may think necessary TO cover the
cost of the work and the expenses.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun. in this connection. writes
as follows: The three leading members
OF the syndicate are Edward G. Brice.
Austyn Granville. and Captain Edward
Randolph Cooke. Brice is tho d.scoverer
of the process. while Granville and Cooke
appear 10 be promoters. Cooke IS "A
Virginia planter, who was a candidate
against O'Ferrall IN the last guberna-
torial contest In that State. He ran on
the Populist ticket. Granville Is an
Engfishman. who has been engaged as
a stenographer and as newspaper man
in Chicago for long time He has two
hobbies One is Brice and the other
Is Brice's alleged discovery Of how 10
make gold and silver He can talk for
hours about the process and what II
means for the world. When he talks OF
Brice il IS with an enthusiasm that knows
no bounds.
This man Is the most powerful man
in the world" he said to a Sun reporter.
"He holds the secret that has been hid
den for centuries"
If a1 the other things he says about
Brice are true, his eulogistic referepce
thus expressed contains no eXaggeration.
Granville claims that Brice holds the
secret that the alchemists have been
trying to discover for centuries. and
that lie has vindicated the old delivers
into the black art Granville is the ideai
promoter. He has every bit Of informa-
ton concerning Brice and the formula
at his tongues end and Is always Will
ing to explain in detail everything about
the dscoverer and the discovery.
Brice does not look or act like
schemer. lie seems to be an honest.
straightforward man, modest to a degree,
and with the air of a student.

No other class Of institutions is allowed
10 borrow State money. and IN all cases
the Governor and Comptroller must give
their consent to the loan. Collins never
mentioned his loans to the Ocaia bank
to either Of those officers.
Another OF the articles Of Impeachment
charges Collins with lending $4,000 to the
Marion County school Board. and 500
10 the Citrus County School Board. The
Treasurer took the warrants Of these
boards, but instead OF sending them the
money. he placed IL 10 their credit in
this same Merchants National Bank OF
Ocala. and 1t failed before the money
was drawn. The boards assert that they
have never received the money, and re-
fuse to honor the warrants.
Collins is also charged with having on
deposit in various banks In and out of
the State OF Florida. without the con-
sent OF the Governor and Comptroller.
and with totally inadequate security. the
sum OF s254,12i32. Most OF this Is sup

Of the banks are sound.

iNew York SUM-

The marriage of Miss Fanny Remsen'
daughter OF the late Robert @. Remsen'
to Mr.. Winfield Scott, was not. after ALL
such a very great surprise to her friehds'
as their engagement had been for long
time an open secret. although not PUBLIC
" announced. The fact Of her being mar
ricd at New London. where Mrs. Rem
sens summer home is TO be, was not in
the least astonishing. as the family had
closed their town house and were quite
settled in the Pequot Colony before the
wedding took place. The bridegroom, Mr..
Winfield Scott who bears an illustrious
name. is the only son of Colonel Henry
Scott. who married his cousin, Cornelia.
second daughter OF General Winfield
Scott He Is thus a grandson OF the great
soldier. who won his chief laurels In the
Mexican war. Mrs. Henry Scott was a
very stately person. with all the beauty
and charm that belonged TO General
Scott's daughters.

CUBAN PACIFIcATIoy.

Contrary to expectations, there IS to
be no change in the spanish Ministry.

the parliamentary situation caused by
the refusal of the Liberals to take part
In the deliberations of the Cortes, and
the consequent difficulty the Ministers ex-
perenced In carrying on the government.
rendered the designations Of himself and
his colleagues. 1t was then supposed
that the crisis would be met By calling
Sagasta 10 form a Ministry, step
which would have foreshadowed a decided
modification In Spain's Cuban policy. 1t
was argued that should Sagasta come
into power he would Immediately essay
to put into operation his autonomy paci-
fcation scheme and would entrust the
work of reform 10 Campos.
However the Queen Regent has dis
posed of the problem by retaining Ca
novas In office. And just here arises the
same question. SO far as the people OF
this country arc most interested in the
matter. that came up when the crisis
was precipitated. The question is. What
Is likely to be the effect of the adjust
ment upon Cuba? AS TO the policy Of the
recalled Ministry touching Cuba. there
are conflicting statements. On the one
hand we are told that there viii be no
deviation from its former policy. and that
there is no intention OF a change in the
supreme command of Cuba. On the
other hand, it is said that all the leading
members of the Senate and Of the Cham
Der of Deputies who were consulted by
the Queen Regent, as well as three Mar
shals, including Campos. have advised
the recall of Weyler from the island,
and that such action Is regarded as on
the cards.
The recall OF Weyler would in itself
be a modification of SPANS Cuban policy,
and, as we said the other day. would
doubtless have "A good effect in this coun-
try. It would tend to bring about a bet
ter feeling between the United States
and Spain. and by putting the extreme
1ingoes at a disadvantage, insure US, in
large measure. against a recurrence Of
the senseless war agitations that during
the last SIX OF eight HloiitiiS HdNc SOA-
tributed so much to business unrest. At
the same time, as we have also hereto
fore stated. We question whether pacifi-
cation of Cuba by any process of reform
or any modification of Spanish policy is
not a thing OF the past. Every day it
seems more apparent that the Cubans
mean to fight the war 10 the issue of indie
pendence or humiliation. Mr.. Calhoun.
who was sent TO Cuba by President Nc
Kinley as a special commissioner TO in
vestigatc the death OF Dr. Ruiz. confirms
the Impression that the Cubans would not
now be satisfied with anything short Of
Independence. On his arrival in New
York yesterday ne said. in the course
OF an interview. that There was no end
of the war IN sight. The spaniards,"
ne added, tried to Impress him with the
idea that II was over. but the Cubans
with whom he talked expressed great
confidence and determination to carry the
fight 10 the end"

and were led to the altar by Rabbi Ca

and Mr.. S. S. Whitlock.
The benedctions were read from tho
scroll by Master Louis Goodman. Master
Percy Ezekiel read the Hebrew portion,
and Miss Edna Boomberg the transia-

saws were read by Miss Nettie Kaufman
on the Ten Commandments and by Miss
Helen Ezekiel on what II Is 10 BE a
Jew" The class made the confession OF
faith in unison. and Miss Frida Jacobs
delivered the closing prayer.
THE ZIONISTfC MOVEMENT.
Rabbi Calisch preached a very interest
ing sermon on the "Zionistic Movement.
He condemned the movement now being
made TO purchase Palestine and restoring
the Jewish state a s being unwise ana per-
nicious to the best interests OF the people
of Israel. Ii emphasizes the material and
