THE REIGN or LAWLEssNEss.

There rave been several cases of
lynchinS since tho Urbana affair. which
seems to have stimulated this form of
lawlessneSs in some parts of the coun-
try, and n number of attempts at lynch
ing have been frustrated by the vigi-
lance and irmness of the authorities.
Within the present month there has
been one lynching in Texas, another in
Maryland and one in Mississippi. Late
dispatches have reported that the GOV
ernor of Virginia has been obliged to
order troops 10 Fayetteville, in
that state, in order to prevent
the lynching OF three murder
ers whom he had reprieved, while
the governor of Kentucky has ordered
military protection for n negro who is
TO be tried for murder. A negro in
Monroe county, Alabama, who was
charged with murder, killed himself
while being pursued by n mob. There
have been attempted lynchings in Della
ware and Ohio within n month, the an
thorities in these cases having had great
difficulty in defending prisoners from the
rage of mobs which We're determined to
hang them without the formality of a
trial.
Thus the spirit of lawlessness is seen
to be widespread and it is indeed more
general than is commonly supposed.
After such an exhibition of il as was
shown at Urbana no community can
feel secure against It. 1t is a deplor,
able fact but it is not to be dismissed
By simply deploring. 1t calls for drastic
remedy. 1t is gratifying to observe that

large development, is disposed to set an

Americans will take pride in the fact
that the cruiser Brooklyn, which repre-,
scented the United States navy in the
great display of the war ships of all ma
tons off Spithead yesterday, attracted
marked attention. The dispatches refer
to her as being "the %proudest, strongest
and swifteSt of these craft which is
certainly a great distinction when it is
remembered that England had 165 of its
ships of var in the display and every
naval power had sent one or more of its
best vessels to participate in this inter,
esting event. That an American ship
should in any respect stand first in this
great company is the highest possible
compliment to its builders and a cause
Of graduation to all who AXE a
patriotic pride in the american navy.
The United States is not one of the
will be. We have as yet only our own
coasts to defend and therefore do not
require so large Il navy as nations that
have remote colonies and possessions.
Our present rank among the naval
powers is fifth, the nations that surpass
us in this respect being Great Britain,
France, Russia and Italy. All these
countries are steadily increasing their
naval power, while Germany, which
ranks pretty close to us, is likely to take
fifth place within n few years if the
imperial policy of naval increase is car
ried out. But while we shall probably
never attempt to rival the leading naval
powers, we have established the fact
that we are able to build war ships equal
to any In the world.

sion. Governor CuIberson recently sent
a message to the Legislature Of that
state earnestly advising the passage Of
4 bill which will not only remove all
excuse for such lawlessness, but will
provide for IL the swift and severe pun
ishment It deserves. He recommends
that assaults Of the kind that usually
provoke l%ynching be made capital crimes
and that precedence be given to them in
the courts over cases of every other de-
scription. With immediate trial of the
offenders thus assured, the last pallia-
tion for mob law would disappear and
therefore the governor suggests that
persons convicted Of participating in n
lynching should be punishable as muir
dcrcrs and that, to make the law eff
fcctive, their trial should take place not
in their own, but in IN adjoining county.
He also recommends that any official
who allows n prisoner to be taken from

office and be made ineligible for re-
election.

AFTER TIE JLBILEE.

The naval display yesterday, the great
est eve witnessed and especially i'm
preSSive as IN exhibition of Great
Britain's naval power, brought to an
end the public celebration of Victoria's
sixty years reign-a' jubilee unparal-
leled as a whole in modern times.
1t cannot but be interesting to con-
slider some of the lessons and sugges-
tons of this event, which will be men,
orable for a. time. The paramount fact
which it has demonstrated is the ardent
profound affection for their sovereign.
1t has sometimes been questioned
whether Victoria really had the love
of her subjects, but after the expert
ence of the past week there can be no
doubt that the aged queen is regarded
with an affection by her people amount
ing to reverence. Whenever and wher-
ever she appeared during the jubilee
vents her presence aroused the most
tumultuous popular enthusiasm. Vic
toria has not for the greater part of her
reign kept herself close to the people.
She has made no effort to encourage
popular respect for the throne by pub
lie display. On the contrary, for most
of the time since the death of the prince
%consort, more than n quarter OF Il cen
fury ago, her life has been one OF Sc
clusion. Yet the evidence g that in all
these years, though her people saw lit
tie of her, she has maintained a strong
hold tlnpn thn npnIlar han t II Is nnnI
less to offer an explanation of this, for
everybody knows that it is due to those
womanly qualities which all civilized
people admire, 10 her splendid example
as wife and mothers: As a ruler Vic
toria has been great only In her con-
servatism, in her readY yielding to the
popular wiz. For this, certainly, she
deserves the esteem of her people, but
1t is not this which causes Englishmen
to love her and the whole world TO ac-
cord her respect. The homage that has
been shown her during the past week
was not to the queen and empress, but
10 the woman.
Another lesson of the jubilee is the
fact thai the vast British empire is as
firmly, if not more firmly, united today
as at any time in its history. With the
one exception Of Irish disaffection there
was no note of discord from any part
of the worldwide British realm. The
representatives of the colonies occupied
the leading place in the great process
sion where We're exhibited Britain's
many possessions II they were the re-
Cipients of the most enthusiastic mani
festations of England's regard. This
they returned by equally earnest dem
onstrations Of their loyalty. There was
an appeal to the pride and patriotism of
Englishmen at home and of the colonial
subjects of England and both gave
equally earnest and sincere response.
There can be no doubt that the effect
will be to strengthen the bonds which
unite England and her colonies.
Still another lesson is tina despite all
h Il has been said about England's isO-
lation as II power, h yet occupies Il
strong place in the worlds regard. How
ever much her diplomacy may be dis
trusted, however much her greed may be
condemned, however much her methods
for augmenting her power may be de
Omaha daily bee., 1897-06-27

nounced. the world is still compelled to
admit that England has done a service
OF incompatible value to civilization
and to the u%pbuilding of mankind and
to recognize the fact that she is at this
time the foremost power of he world.
The interestksf the entire world in the
jubilee evidences this, while that event
has served TO Impress more strongly
upon the nations the greatness and the
solidarity of sihe British empire.
To Americans ehe most interesting and
significant lesson Of the jubilee is the
evidence it hasl furnished of English
good will toward this country. Our rep
rcsentatives swere received with the
most distinguished consideration and
queen and people seemed imbued with a
common desire to give assurance to the
American people of their highest es'
tcem.
The great Jubilee is at an end. The
British people have had an opportunity
to show their love and loyalty and they
have worthily improved it. All the ma
tions have paid their tribute to n woman
who rcigns over the greatest empire on
earth. 1t has been Il magnificent object
lesson. May it be fruitful of results for
the advancement of mankind.

GROWING COST OF GOVERNMENT.
Comes Pretty High, but Consider the
Benefits.

btnthtS
Utica IN. " Press.
1t is commonly asserted that every year it
Is costing more to live. Nowadays an in
come which would have been regarded as
handsome fifty years ago Is reckoned paltry
and barely sufficient to supply necessities.
The money income of a farmer in 1896 was
larger than that on the same farm in 1886,
but does not bring equal satisfaction. In all
lines OF employment wages are higher, but
they do not as well supply demands. On the
other hand, most commodities are cheaper
than half a century ago, this being especially
true OF necessities. Government expenses
have increased materially in the last fifty
years. A table not long since prepared by j.
Sterling Morton, who was in Mr., Cleyeland's
cabinet as secretary of agriculture, gives
some interesting statistics regarding the cost
per capita of administering the federal gov
eminent.
In 1910 the population was II, 069, 453. The
net ordinary expenditures OF that fiscal year
were $24, l39, 800, making the amount per
capita S1.41. In 1850 the population had
grown to over %. 900. 900, the expenditures 20
over $40, 600, 900 and the per capita to SLY.
In 1860 the rate was $2.01. In 1890 the pOpu-
lation was over 90, 900, 900, the net ordinary
expenses over 1927 900, 900 and tho per capita
$4.75. II the gross expenditures in the fiscal
year ara taken as the basis OF computation,
it would show the amount per capita at $l.G5
in 1910, $1.92 In 1850, $2.45 in 1860 and SlO.O6
in 1890.
Tho natural suppOsitlon would be that the
larger the population the lower the average
rate per capita. The contrary seems to be
true II Secretary Morton's figures are correct.
The old idea was that the sole business OF
tho government is to protect life, liberty and
property. or late there has been a growing
demand for increased fixed charges on Amer
lean citizenship. What Is commonly called
general welfare Is a plea seldom disregarded.
Every city Of size must have It's handsome
federal building. Wherever water settles or
runs, river and harbor appropriations are Sc
cured. In the good1Old days there were no
centennial or Chicago exhibitions, no cost OF
representation at worlds fairs in other coun-
tries and many other expenses common now
adays never found their way TO the govern
ment books. Since the civil war the pensions
have been an immense item OF expenditure.
They have reached their highest point and
must grow smaller year by year. Then, too,
the Old-time farmer did not expect his con-
gresham TO send him seeds nor printed books
by the ton. Probably we get the worth OF
our money. but It takes a good deal OF 1t.

High school law has been j~udicially de-

is unwarrantcd to infer that the supreme

knowledge of the consequences its ruling
would have on the schools of the state.
The idea that every important case
should have n rehearing cannot be gem
orally approved by the court, because it
must grant the privilege of rehearing

London Truth,


England OF today is what Carthage was in
times of old. We are ruled by a hungry,
greedy aristocracy, which, In it's turn, is
ruled by loan mongers and by company
mongers. Honor and honesty under his re-
gime are derided as old -fashioned supersti-
lions. The minister who can steal any ter
ritory whose inhabitants are too weak to re-
sist us is acclaimed as a hero. The com
pany promoter who can build a palace by
appropriating the savings Of his fellow coun-
trymen is worshiped as a divinity. When
we NOW down Africans with Maxlms we
glory in this proof Of our bravery. When,
at the bidding Of kings and emperors, we
shell Europeans struggling to free them
selves from the suzerainty OF some wretch
who claims their allegiance, we glory in our
shame. And while We swagger and boast
OF our might we are In such AFFECT fear OF
being attacked that we heap up ornaments
on ornaments, because, no matter what we
spend, We still would spend more to make

womnn's Progress In Education.

Woman's progress during recent years has
been no more marked in any direction than
In education. Tho scores of eminent women
who have made their mark in science and
literature prove conclusiyely the capability
OF women for higher education. In view OF
the frequent easy Victories OF women and
girls over men and boys when engaged in
intellectual rivalry in schools and colleges
one must believe that any opposition today
must be based on jealousy OF their capabili-
ties or fear of their competition. At the rate
that women have recently been proving their
Intellectual superiority or equality to men 1t
will soon be in order for some one to oppose
the higher education OF men and contend
that they should be reserved for work that
requires merely physical effort, and in which
they continue 10 excel.
