The Urbana Fiasco.

Two months ago negro wa
lynched at Urbana in open day
light by the citizens of that place
There was not the slightest disguise
in the matter and those who were
most active in the affair are well
known. There is no Disgusting tht
fact that public sentiment on tha
occasion inspired the deed, and the
very best citizens of the town either
took part in the frenzy or encour
aged it By their presence and ap
proval.
Lynch law is never justiflable
but the provocation in this case
was very great. Ii it had not been,
public sentiment would not have
been unanimous, and the law-abid-
ing and conservative men of that
refined and beautiful city would
not have permitted the violence
that has made this incident motor
ioas all over the world.
The miscreant had confessed his
guilt and his victim had identified
him. He had been convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary, and
the sheriff mad the same day ar
ranged to convey him to Columbus.
But the people had become aroused
and surrounded the Jail to prevent
the removal of the prisoner. The
sheriff telegraphed the governor
for troops, and already had the To-
cal military company at the jail as
sisting to guard it when he asked
the governor at ten o'clock at night
for more troops, which were at first
refused, but toward morning of the
same night, authorized to be sent.
This last company reached Urbana
in time to assist in defending the
jail and protecting the life of the
prisoner, but it has never appeared
that the sheriff was to blame for
the failure of that company to do
its duty. On the contrary the con-
duct of the heriffindicates prompt.

Of his duties.
Now, Governor Bushnell, in or

that has been heaped upon him by

Columbus Press.
/ Frequently complaints have heen
made by telephone subscribers and
others about the evaporation they
experience in the use of the tele.
phone, when they have rung offone
person and want to ring up another
Their grievance is the lack OF
promptness on the part of the tele-
phone girl to disconnect in the first
instance, so that the first person
they talk responds to their ring
rather than the telephone exchange.
1t is true that this experience
frequently happens to- the tele-
phone subscriber. The reason for
it, however, is apparent to any per-
son who will take the pains to visit
the telephone exchange, where he
will always be welcome. A glance
at the row Of girls at work along
the telephone switch board, the
rapidity with which their hands
are made to fly, in answer to the
thousand and one calls. the COM
plication of the switchboard, to-
gether with hundred other reas.
ons, will make the subscriber won.
der how his calls have been an
swered as promptly as they have
been. There Is no time of the day
when the telephone operator is on
duty that she has sixty seconds of
leisure. If she fails to switch off n
person first addressed promptly, it
Is because ut that instant her hands
and ears and tongue are busy with
some other subscriber. Instantly
relieved on the one case, they
respond to their duty In
the second.

AS to Cuba and Hawaii.

The president, the titular secre.
tary of state, and the acting secre-
tary of state are all away from
Washington taking their summer
vacations, and "the boys" are run
ming our foreign affairs. That is
the time for the know-it.alls in
and around the state department,
or who press long ears against the
exterior walls OF the building, to
take the public into their conf
dcnce and tell them what are the
governments Intentions in regard
to the burning questions of our
foreign policy.
There is Cuba, The country would
really like to know what is the ma
ture of that swell defined Cuban
policy" which they have been as
sured over and over again the
president has fully matured and is
ready to declare when the right
moment comes. When will the
carefully guarded secret be turned
loose? Hush! Keep still bit
and watch developments. Spain is
hopeless Of retaining Cuba, and
would welcome Il war with the
United States under circumstance
that might maintain Spanish pres
tige and satisfy Spanish pride even
though Cuba be abandoned. There
fore the United States warships
are to be kept within striking dis
tance of Cuba, the president will
suddenly disclose his "Cuban poll
cy," Spain will look at the warships
and tuck in its tail. There will be
no war and Cuba will be free.
Then Hawaii. The annextion-
lists are inpatient. They want the
islands annexed and put under the
guns of United States fleet until
the formslities of annexation are
concluded. Whisper now. The
islands are to be taken In all right,
but there must be caution. If the
Alta, tic fleet should be transferred
now to the Pacific In order to scare
off the Japanese from Hawaii,
Spain might suddenly declare war
and we would be caught with our
warships rounding Cape Horn on
the way to keep Japan out of
Hawaii. That would be awkward.
So the plan is for the United States
to suddenly spring its mysterious
Cuban policy upon Spain, trap or
frighten it into letting the island
go, and tire American warships,
being no longer necessary to the
presidents "Cuban policy" can go
TO Hawaii and "thump Japan"
should it act ugly in the matter Of
the annexation.
But, as we have said, the sold
nan" is away and "the boys" are
pretending to run our foreign poll
". Perhaps the boys are stalking y.
through their hats."-Plain ID saler.

or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being com

the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect OF

We Invite attention to the fact that III,

as the money metals OF tho United States
and that the irst coinage law passed BY
congress under the constitution made the
silver dollar the money unit. and admitted
gold to free coinage at a ratio based unon
the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873, demone-

We demand the free and unlimited coin

ratio OF 10 TO l. without waiting for the aid
or consent OF any other nation. We demand
that the standard silver dollar shall be u
