LYNCHlNGS.

eff Justice is to be administered by
the mob, let us abolish the law; if by
the law, let us abolish the mob"
This is the concluding paragraph of
the comments of Judge Geo. N. Dun
can of Texas on the recent lynching
in Tyler, that state. 1t applies with
equal force to the state of Ohio or any
other state. If an infamed populace
can take the law into it's own hands
in one case, it can in another, and,
aside from the fact that the innocent
may suffer at the hands of an infuri-
ated mob, there is the further conse-
quence of demoralized public senti-
ment and disrespect for law, which of
itself is an incentive to crime. Lynch
ings are altogether too frequent in
this country. In the states where
they have been most numerous, the
executives have taken occasion to
In some states, legislation has been
passed and in others it has been pro-
posed to make the county responsible
for damages in mob violence of this
character, and also fixing upon sher-
ifs and other conservators of the
peace severe penalties for any failure
to do their duty in maintaining order
and protecting prisoners. Much, how
ever, depends upon the GOODNESS and
celebrity with which officers of the
peace act at the first Indication of
mob violence.

SECRETARY CAGES POSITION.

Notwithstanding statements to the
contrary it is learned on good author
ity that Secretary Gage has no plan in
preparation or in contemplation for
the retirement of the green backs,
says the Washington correspondent
of the NelU York Commercial Advertiser
who continues: GA published report
that he had such a scheme in mind
and was now formulated was shown
to the secretary recently. He refus
ed to make any statement on the sub
ject but wished it distinctly under
stood that his silence was not to be
construed as implying either denial or
confirmation.
The fact that Secretary Gage has
no intention of suggesting that the
greenbacks be disturbed comes from
another source. The same person as
serted that this policy of the secre-
tary was known some time ago. Pres
ident Mckinley is also understood to
be friendly to the greenbacks now, as
he had been in the past.
sEIn his regard for the greenbacks
and his belief in the Importance of
their function in the currency, the
president is said to share the belief
which is generally had for this class
of money throughout Ohio and many
points of the middle West.
The utterances of Secretary Gage in
his recent speech in Cincinnati are
not construed here as Indicating any
such radical measures of 'fcurrency
reform' as has been Inferred in some
quarters. 1t has become almost GER
tain within a few days that President
Mckinley will advise the appointment
of a domestic currency commission
before the close of the extra session,
and that Mr.. Gage favors this action.
The statement has been made more

Il YEARS. SUPPLY AHEAD.

One thing which the delay in enact
ing the new tariff has permitted is the
inundation of the American market
with foreign wool.
Importations during the past five
months have been the heaviest in our
history. The TertiIe World of Boston
has secured the official statistics of
these imports for May in advance of
publication. Adding these imports to
those of January, February, March
and April, it is found that the total of
foreign wools brought into this coun
try since the new year reaches the
enormous aggregate of 246, ,484, 800
pounds. of which 100, $3.50, 1886 pounds
were of class 1; 1s,579,s4 pounds of
class 2, and 81, "a, ,616 pounds of class

Indications are that Japan's intim-
idation of Hawaii is almost at an end.
She will soon have more than Hawaii
to reckon with. The Japanese "pro-
blem' exists on the islands simply
and solely because Japan is strong
and Hawaii weak. If the little re-
public becomes part of this Union
there will be no more bullying and no
more cruisers from Toxic.

instances, practically voted for large
proportion of the colored element, will
not only make endless trouble for the
election officers, by causing them to

also result in the colored voters stamp

of colored voters to white voters in
both Kent and Sussex counties is so
large, too, that it would be very easy
matter by this means alone to overcome
the largest maturity yet given against

The Philadelphian was on the defen-

man from landing frequently on bis

around the ring several timee, some
times getting very gay, and was pursu-

Hollidaysburg, Pa. Aug. 10. The
Hollidayshurg postoftice was broken
into by three masked robbers at 2
o'clock this morning. Postmaster Barr.
who sleeps in the room where the gov

the noise, but before he could give an
alarm he was struck on the head with
a bludgeon and beaten into insensibil-
ity. The thieves then proceeded TO
dynamite the safe. Before they had
accomplished the work Postmaster Barr
regained his senses and called for help,
and the burglars we're frightened away.
The thieves did not get any booty.
