LynchinE in the North.

1t would be idle to deny that the north
ern people are progressive. The south can
make a horn, but the north can take the
same horn and fashion 1t into a spoon. 1t
can take our timber and make beds for US
our cotton and weave it into Calico
This is SO well known that it is lily
necessary to refer to it. But this De-
riority of treatment is not confined 10
manufactures. 1t has now spread TO the
lynching business and, unless all the signs
fail, our northern brethren will rob The
south of it's prestige in this line.
The lynching limits which have been sup
posed to be marked by the political bound
airy known as Mason and Dixon's line,
have rapidly moved northward, until now
they embrace Chicago.
However, 1t is not the boundary line,
but the style in which the busir,c-si is car
ried on. The latest exhibition which took
place in Chicago, shows that the plain ac-
cessories of a rope and zee are alto
gether too commonplace. There is nothing
eXhllarating, nothing unique, about them.
AS usual, Chicago sets the pace, and the
victim was shot, impaled on pitchforks and
beaten with clubs, thus affording a rare
spectacle to those who took part in the ex-
erciSeS.
We do not recount these facts in spirit
of envy. Far from it. We are truly sorry
that the business of lynching should have
made such rapid strides in the section iilu-
minated with morality, refinement and Gull
ture-the center of culture and progress.
But since it is so, we cannot refrain from
commenting on it.
Our northern contemporaries have here
tofore depended on sermons in the news
papers remedies for the lynching habit.
Now that the mania has extended to their
own progressive and enlightened section.
we trust they will find a real remedy, and
thus set the south a worthy example. In
this matter we want the north to set its
light on hill.

n Sign of Prosperity.

one OF the surest signs that the Dennle
or the country are feeling the influence of
returning prosperity is the announcement
just now made that in all probability the
managers Oh the Nashville exposition will
pe aDie 10 pay their subscribers dollar for
dollar and perhaps add a snug dividend
Inc usual experience with such great YEN
lures Is that they do not paw expenses
Inc worlds Fair was notable execution
but 1t was held just before the wave of de-
preston swept over the country and might
be said TO represent the high water mark
OF the prosperity that soon disappeared
"A TRIP 10 fair or an exposition Is a luxury
IL which the average person will NOT in
duiSe unless he possesses a comfortab,a
surplus on hand. If the times are hard and
expenses press too near the income these
forms OF amusement and incidental instruc-
ton are cut OF as superfiuous indulgences
ana the attendance at the fairs and the
shows falls off accordingly The exhibition
at Atlanta suffered somewhat from this
cause The Nashville affair is of course
upon a comparatively small scale. vet 81 is,
suficientiy attractive to draw crowds from
other states than Tennessee to celebrs ia
whose centennial the fair is held II now
the finances of the exposition are assuredly
secure and a dividend is in sight IL is in
order 10 congratulate not only the stock
hoiders OF the enterprise and through them
the people OF Tennessee, but also the peo-
pie of the entire country for this sign
would seem to indicate Enthusiastically that
prosperity is actually at hand

Trolley Spark Blindness.

In April last the citizens of BROOKLYN
were greatly agitated over a case of tenn
porary blindness caused by the intense
flash from passing trolley car. This
sparkling Is common sight in large city
through which overhead trolley wires run
In the Brooklyn case a man standing on
curb felt intense pain in his eye i'm
mediately after one of these bright flashes
had occurred when the trolley wheel ran
over an interruption in the line Total
blindness Immediately followed and con-
tinued for several hours. The physicians
attending the case classified the trouble as
'hysterical ambliopia," purely psychologi-
cal affection, and gave no credence to the
suggestion that there had been any injury
whatever to the optic nerve as a result of
the intense sparkling. Later cases reported
from England, however confirm the latter
idea and give rise to the belief that the
eyes are physically affected by the flash
ing These cases resulted from men watch
ing the operation of electric drills, which
give forth brilliant sparks The blindness
In these instances was accompanied by in
tense pain and Inflammation of the outer
parts of the eye. 1t seemed to be imma-
terial whether the electric drills were being
worked in daylight or at night. The flash
ing is more apparent, of course, after dark,
but the direct injurious effect of the flash
ing upon the eye is quite as acute when the
light can not be distinctly observed One
symptom of this affection is that the suf-
ferer observes all objects at first as of a
brilliant golden color. The London Lancet.
recognized as one of the leading British
medical authorities, holds the opinion that
the brilliant sparkling causes temporary
paralysis of some of the nerve terminals.
Thus an issue is presented between the
medical men of Brooklyn and those CT
London. One of the former held that a
spark from lighted cigar flashing before
the eye of a sensitive person would cause
the nervous affection to which he attrib-
uted the blindness of the first known Amer
lean victim OF the trolley spark. There
seems 20 be enough doubt about the mat
ter to warrant all persons in keeping their
eyes off the overhead trolley wires

Sound Money in Kentucky v.

The sound money democrats of Kentucky
are preparing to conduct an exceedingly
energetic campaign. Their own leaders,
Mr.. Carlisle, Senator Lindsay, Mr.. Waiter
son, Colonel Breckenridge and others are
10 take the stump, and, in addition, orators
of national reputation from a distance will
visit the state. Senator Caffery, ex-senator
Villas. Patrick A. Collins of Boston, Bourke
Cochran, and Mr.. Bynun have been invited
and will respond. Oratory counts in the
Bluegrass country, and such a supply as is
here guaranteed ought not only to draw
immense audiences, but produce results at
the polls.
The field is a little more inviting for dis
cussion than it was this time last year.
Mr.. Carlsle's reception at his old home in
Covington when he entered the presidential
campaign was one of those episodes that
linger long in the memory. An organized
squad of toughs attended the meeting and
not only interrupted the speaker with cat
calls and coarse vituperation but threw
eggs at him. 1t proved an expensive bonn
tardment for the silver cause. 1t brought
shame upon the city and the state, and
uLquestionably assisted the cause of sound
money. 1t was not of course repeated at
ally other point, the silver leaders promptly
rage.
But the sensibilities of the people had
been so shocked by the one offense, that
the matter was brought before the legisIa-
ture, in a bill making it an offense punish
able with fine and imprisonment to inter-
rLpt in any unseemly way the proceedings
at public meeting. The bill became a law.
ard now confronts such impulsve rowdies
as heretofore have been in the habit of
yielding too freely and too vigorously to
an inclination to rebuke those found to
differ with them political questions
The Kentucky field, therefore, is alto
gether an inviting one this year. Eggs
having ceased to be arguments, and cat
calls having been put under the ban, speak
ers may feel entirely at ease and at liberty
to indulge in their best efforts. The people
of the state are responsive to the orator to
an unusual degree. The man of f1uency
end fancy has always fourished there. and
the visitor from another state bringing
these gifts with him becomes an adopted
son of the commonwealth If he does not
stay longer than a week.

present position II he had not had hopes


OF accomplishing something?
People need not deceive themselves on
this point. 1t is to be said to the credit of
General Grosvenor that in this matter he
does not essay to trade either on his place
of residence or on his intimate personal re-
Ia lions with the President. He cannot be
of the slightest additional service in the
fight because he is an Ohio man and en-
joys the Presidents good will. The Pres
ident Is as sincere In his position AS Cen
eral Grosvenor is in his, and both by his
professions and his performances has
Shown himself to be sincere friend of
civil service reform.
1t may be said, too, with equal truth,
that General Grosvenor risks nothing in
the way of patronage by the position he
occupies. Of course he has a perfect right
to occupy it, but while occupying 1t will
dispense the patronage in his district re-
naming outside of the civil service law
the same as if he stood shoulder to Shout
der with the President on every public
question. To state this is not to question
either his sincerity or his courage. He
would doubtless have prepared his speech
ard denounced the law even at the expense
of his influence at the White House.
General Grosvencr is an able man, and
has had considerable experience in politics.
He likewise is ambitious. He is suspected
of desire to be governor of Ohio in the
near future, ard of a desire to be elected
in time to the Senate 1t seems strange,
therefore. that, with such hopes, dependent
for realization upon a constituency so ad-
vanced and intelligent that of the peo-
pie of Ohio. SO able and experienced a man
should ally himself with and become the
mouthpiece of a movement for the re-
Mobilization of the spoils system.

A Stable Wheat Market.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
If the price shall hold in the face of in
creasing spring wheat receipts as well as
it has held since the winter wheat began
moving it will mean millions to the north,
west. Nor is there any reason apparent
why the price should not be maintained
The traders have already discounted the
prospects of the crop, and unless actual
threshing returns shall belle all the indica
lions a much lower range is not probable
In any event the situation appears to be
such that whether reports of damage have
been exaggerated or whether they shall
ultimately be found to have a wider appli.
cation than is now believed probable the
aggregate wealth that will accrue to the
farmers of the state is not apt to vary
greatly, since the conditions are such tina,
the northwestern crop is just at presen,
the governing factor N fixing the price, and
1t will be either a fair crop with Slightly
lower prices or a somewhat disappointing
crop with higher prices.
