Stop the Crime First.

Scarcely day pases without the an- nouncement of one or more felonious as- saults upon women followed by the lynching of the criminals. It is the fash ion for the pulpit and the press to thunder against this form of lawlessness, and the governors are always prompt in offering rewards for the arrest and conviction of the lynchers.
 But the crime which always brings Judge Lynch to the front is on the n- crease, and until it ceases the people cannot expect that terrible avenger to retire from business. Admitting the truth of all that has been said about the evils of lynch law, the public must recognize the fact that under the peculiar conditions of life in this section the great majority of the people, including many of the best citizens are determined when the emergency comes to resort to even the most extraordinary methods of pun sshment in order to secure speedy justice and terrorize the brutes who menace the safety of every peaceful country home.
 Rewards have frequently been offered for the lynchers in such cases, but his- tory does not record a single instance in which they have ever been punish cd and convicted. Preachers pass resolu- tions against lynching, but church mem- bers have engaged in such unlawful work. and yet not one of them have ever been accommodated. When these facts are considered, it will be seen that pub lie opinion in this section is practically all on one side.
 The Age-Herald proposes to do any thing in its power to stop lynehing-- after the crime which provokes 1t ceases. Stop the crime first, and then it's pun isment will stop. This Is the natural order of things. Ail the police, sheliff's posses and militia in the country are powerless to prevent the people from punishing, as soon as caught and identi- fled, the monsters who destroy their wives and daughters.

YOunq and Old Workers.

The complaint is made, every now and tn n, that immature and unskilled young sters are pushing their way 10 dhe front and crowdhng out the older workers. Men who aue thoroughly equipped for their business need not fear the comps tition of their juniors. In addition to their gifts and requirements they will have the ad even uhe brightest beginner cannot conn mand.
 There are young men in their twenties who leap to the topmost round of the lad der atd hold their places there, but on the other hand thens are old men in the industrial world who are regarded as leaders and as indispensable workers. Nine times out of ten a man is himself uo blame df he becomes less valuable and useful on account of age. The man who follows a sensible mode of living, and who makes 1t point to be always at his best, keeping step with the age, and in teursting himself in all that concerns mankind, will, in most occupations, be moro useful at seventy than he was at twenty-five.
 There is plenty of room in the world for the old men and the young ones, too. Thay can woulS side by side in friendly and helpfulNIGvalry and when they put forth their best efforts neither class can be spared. The man who talks about being backnumber at the age of sixty or seventy, has not made use of his op- poiLunites. He has had the chance to make himself superior man in his chosen field, and if he has done so there is always good place for him. But if lIe has stood still or rstIpgraded he need not complain when younger men push him aside. -
 If you wari5 to hold your own in this busy world you must make yourself in- dfspensi ble in your place by your inteli- gence knowledge, skill and capacity. This its the way ito meet the competition of younger men.

Senatorial Elections.

A very interesting discussion and vote occurred in the Virginia state convention that met at Roanoke last week, over the manner of selecting United States ssna- tors. The platform committee had re- ported in favor of the "prinary p'an," and when the subject was taken up Sena- tor Daniel opposed the paan The four teen hundred delegates were doubtless moved by his forcible speech, for the vote was $50 against the plan to 6o9 in its favor
 The question was an issue in many of up when the next state convea ton is he'd. The democrats of Illinois, South Caro- Tina and othlsr states have adopted the more popular plan and ttla tendency in the party seems to be against the old time method. In no state that has discussed the question has there been proposition to change the federal constitution. The provision of that instrument is to be shelved, very much as all parties long ago agreed to sfIslve the plan for electing a president and vice-president. The little band of constitution makers that met in Philadelphia we're, in fact, very cautious in some things.
 The proposition in favor of senatorial elections is really in answer to the pur- chase of senatorial seats through cam paign contributions form of indirect bribery. The price of the seat is paid, even if it be called by another name. The movement would keep unworthy men out of the senate, even to the point of a thor ough reconstruction of the Millionaires club. And it is noticeable that it is con- fined to the democratic party no republl- can convention having considered it.
 In Virginia tine plan would not have been tried until Senator Martins term had nearly ran its course. He desires to succeed himself, but there are other men who are willing to step into his shoes Congressman Jones is one Of them. Ssna- tor Daniels term expires first but the convention endorsed him. and he was fighting in the convention, not for him. self, but for his colleague. who prefers to submit his claims to legislature.

Tell-T ale Finger Tips.
From the Westminster Gazette.

from The w eStmlnSter Gazette.
 The seat of that invaluable quality, tact, is said to be in our fingers. Hence phys iologists as well as psychologists are said to devote special attention to the study of the human digit. Francis Galton pointed out years ago that the delicate lines in our finger-tips may become means of identify ing persons, since these lines vary with every individual. and remain the same all through life. M. Fere, the French savant has gone a step further, and, after a num- ber of experiments, has come to the con- cluson that not only the lines themselves but the way in which people touch and handle objects, reveal their character and aptitudes. Thus. by causing a number of persons to take up ball of soft putty he has at once obtanied the lines by which he identifies, and the impression, more or less strong, by which he can tell whether a persons capabilities lean toward a pro- feSSional or an artistic career

GEORGE FORGOT IT WAS HIS WIFE.
Old Habit Asserted Itself as Soon as He Began
 to Yield the Whsk Broom.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 She was the beautiful but humble quad room wife of sleeping car porter. She left the suburban train with George" at Congress street last Wednesday morning, and the two started west in the direction of the Van Bunen street station. She was carrying her husbands little black satchel, and it was evident that George" was about to leave on his regular run, and that she had come to see him off Her brown beauty was so striking that many pedes- trbans who met them turned admiringly to look at her.
 At State street, the pavement was wet could prevent, she had lost her balance on the slippery stones and had pumped down on the dirty pavement.
 Her husband helped her to her feet and the two crossed to the opposite side of the street. where he opened the little black satchel. took out a whisk broom. and be- gan brushing the dirt from her black dress.
 He brushed away for five minutes, till the dirt had all disappeared. and then carefully started to brush the dress over again Then his left hand unclasped me- chemically while he brushed hard at an imaginary dirt spot with his right.
 Well, George, aint you most through?" his wife asked.
 And then George remembered where he was and uttered n loud "He, he."

Meet Prosperity Half Way.

Tt is time to get in the middle of the big road to meet Miss Prosperity. The long expected vis9.or should receive a royaE welcome from high and low, rich and poor. Ths people must not hold back and wait for the hour of plenty to rain its golden shower upon them. Miss Pros- perity helps those who help themselves.
 She expects to be met half way. If you have work to do get at it without delay Don't wait for some hing to turn up; turn it up yourself. Hit something and make the display. If you nesd work or want to sell something advertise the fadt in thepnewspapers. You certainly are not stupid enIough to suppose that an up-to- date young lady like Miss Prosperity will waste her time inunting about in all sorI. s of places for persons who are entirely uIaknown.
 1t won't do to hide your light under a bushel If you expect to get your share of busins ss. In this rushing age ehe men of capital and enterprise who desire to em- ploy people, engage in business and make investments, study the newspapers in starch of opportunities.

is called has the best material, the st mechanical equipment, the best writers and the best workers that mony csn procure. It has dignihed substantial look, and when it speaks its lightest word carries weight.
 Some of the big American dailiss have fallen victims to the demand for ch=ap- ness. A glance at them shows the ext Tt of thelr demoralization. They employ cheap nian, use cheap paper, have cheap news service and they lock like what thsy atre. an inferior class of penny sensation mong.ps, tawdry and coarse ard eruGo. There are immense Naw York dailies which are more like circus posters than newspapers. They attract the rabble with their flowing headlines, their faring co9ors and their immoral pie lures and reading matter, but the better classes of the community never read them, never admit tism to their homes, and never pay the slightest attention to their editorial utterances.
 The cheap craze carried to an un- reasonable extreme ruins everything. It is better from every point of view to pay and ask fair prices. When the effort is made to furnish anything at an excep- tionally low price, the result, sooner or latsr, is an inferior article. It VIII be said that the London Times is too high- priced. Thus is probably true. but it is a better paper than it would be if it sold at a cent a copy. And it is the same way with other things. It is a better invest ment to pay sS for pair of shoes than it would bls to buy @ pair for $1.50.
 Make cheapness the main requisite in material things and their quality will de- teriCrate Nor is this all. A similar de- tarioraldlon win follow in moral, intellec- tual and spiritual matters. In ordsr to maintain high grade everything of any use and value should command a fair price.

NEW AUSTRIAN ACTRESS.
Attracted More Attention in English Capital 2 Than Bernhardt or Reane.

From the New York Times.
 Even in the summer, entirely out of season. London craves sensation, and what it craves it generally gets. This year the sensation came with Nine Od- lon from Vienna. In her native country, Austria, Mime. odilon is considered a wonderful actress, and in London she was considered sensation.
 Augustin Daly was responsible for the Austrian actress presence in the English capital. Al few weeks ago she played aal engagement there under Mir Daly's man. agement and at lIis theater in Leicester Square.
 With Mme. Sara Bernhardt and Mme. Rejane, both playing engagements in rival houses at the same time, she was more talked about than both of them more talked about and more written about than both of them togei her.
 Her engagement at Dalys was brief one, but it was long enough for the play goers to ask her to return and she has promised to do so
 try and in Russia Is called the Austrian Duse," while in London the English crit, ics, almost With one accord, likened het art to that of the great Italian actress She is said to possess all the power and intensity of the Italian woman, and at the same time, in.the lighter of her plays. the witchery and womanly coquetry of Ada Rehan.
 She was born and educated at Vienna, and at an early age began her stage career. Although she appeared in num- Der of plays in the French capital her profe ssional debut was made at the Court Theater In St. Petersburg. There she scored an immediate success, and ever since has played a yearly engagement there and is as great a favorite as in Berlin or her own home.

WITH THE ALABAMA EDITORS.

The Huntsville Mercury says that all Alabama is anxious for Birmingham to secure the armor plate plant.
 '"The Birmingham papers and people are beginning a fight for the armor plant. All Alabama will lend Birmingham a helping hand in this matter. That con- gress will recognize our claims is well assured"
 The Anniston Hot Blast is authority for the rumor that ex-Congresman Tru- man H. Aldrich, of this district, will be the fusion candidate for governor next year.
 Says the Gadsden News: Congressman Howard says that he is disgusted with politics. The kind he deals in is enough to disgust anybody.
 Tn, Democrat says that the people of Marengo county are very much interest ed in the development of the resources of that county:
 "A long pull, a strong pull. and pull altogether will give Marengo what it needs more than everything else to devel- op and sustain it's wonderful resources. Put your shoulder to the wheel, not mat ter how small may be your aid. Your eX- ample will incite your friends and neigh bors to higher and better efforts."
 The Mobile Herald says: "The Hon. c. E. Waller has put the governor all right, but he has not yet explained who were meant by the people high in au- thority'."
 Editor Granby, of the Abbeville Times, proposes to make practical test of the benefits to be derived from new bank to be located in Abbeville:
 "The bank could not have been set up here at a more opportune time for our convenience as we need money and need it bad. We propose to try em on the first day for loan, and. of course, if we can't get it, why the bank will be of no benefit to us. We propose to use it, see if we don't"
 The Abbeville Times is not of the opin- ion that the list of papers printed by the Hot Blast are in sympathy with the present state administration. It says: "The Anniston Hot Blast boasts of a long array of papers that are with it in it's fight to keep national issues out of the state campaign next year. If the Hot Blast will carefully analyze the papers it will see that nearly every one of them, if not all of them, was opposed to Johnston, and favored Clark's nomination last year. They have never been for the Chicago platform. To judge their efforts in behalf of MT. Clark the Hot Blast has but little of which to boast"
 The Mobile Register says the three things Alabama democrats need to make them happy are hog, hominy and har- mony.
