Tt would appear that the people living
north of the Potomac ana Ohio rivers who
have been holding up their hands in holy
horror at the lynchings in the south are
coming to the conclusion that hanging or
shooting negro rapist is not such a
wicked deed. after an. Such cases have
been heard from lately IN New Jersey,
Pennsylvania Ohio and New York and
they are cases of the same nature as those
found in the south
About 800 farmers, most Of them doubt
less republicans, living in and around
Kingston, n Y, armed with guns. pistols
and ropes, went out on hunt the other
day for negro named Joseph Depew, who
committed the usual crime MS victims
being Two white girls, daughters of far
mers, and a third Intended victim was a
white woman. the wife of a farmer. VINO
worsted him IN the struggle. one of the
litde girls who is only years Old, is ly-
ing at the pom, Of death. With apparent
determination to lynch the brute on sight
the parity secured the surrounding coun-
Try four hours, coming upon him finally
when he was IN the hands of the sheriff
s.
who made show at taking Depew from
the sheriff desistod ut the sight Of the Of
fcers pistol with lynching in their
hearts. they feared to face the danger of
getting hurt.
The telegraphic account of the outrage
published in the northern papers, speaks
of the negro as "a curse Of civilization" ="
The real truth about The negro as race
IS that he is not civilized but it is no
fault Of his own that he is not While
the white race was fighting it's way TO
civilization, the negro was still wild man
in Africa. Thirty-two years ago he was
slave without responsibility one day
and the next he was made free through
no effort or merit of his own, and soon
thereafter invested with the responsible
tics of American citizenship He was freed
not because the people of the northern
states loved him, but because they wanted
through him to punish the white people
Of the south. The white races have ar
rived at various grades OF civilization
through a series Of struggles and sacri-
! fees. The negro did not achieve his ad-
vancement. nor acquire the great right
of franchise through his own efforts and
| therefore has not developed those virtues
which come to a people through genera
| tons Of self-sacrifce and self-control. The
hanging of negroes Of that stamp which
.ynchers usually dispose of, is doubtless
a process by which the race is being civil
lized by disposing Of those of its members
who are curses to civilization" and pro-
viding for the Survival of the fittest."
The well disposed classes of the negro
race thus have an opportunity to see and
avoid the dangers which beset the path
Of their race and to use their efforts TO
advance their people in those virtues
! which conduce TO their happiness
The lynching of negroes for the usual
crime" is no longer sectional, but national,
and seems TO demonstrate that the union
is restored.
1t is plainly noticeable that the northern
/ papers which cry out so against lynchings
in the south are very mild over lynchings
| IN their part of the country, ana in some
instances have indorsed the acts Of the
/ lynChers.

The I<Iondikc and Prosperity.

There are reasons for believing the dis
coveries of gold in the Klondike region
will result in great good to the country,
and help boom along the prosperity which
everybody hopes is at hand The amount
of gold which will be taken out Of the
Alaskan river bottoms will swell our ma
tional wealth and the volume of our
money by just so much, but these CON
siderations form only part Of the public
benefits which will be conferred
1t seems TO be "a foregone conclusion
that there will be such an exodus to the
new country as probably has never been
witnessed before, Notwithstanding the rig
ors of the climate to which the fortune
seekers are going. There are now thous-
ands of men and women with their faces
set towards the rich diggings, with the
certainty that the movement will be great
ly augmented next spring. The exodus
will diminish the over-supply of labor
seeking employment. 1t will take great
amount of money to move the multtudes
from point of departure TO destination. and
a great deal more to pay for outfits to be
used in the mining districts. The trans
portation companies will reap large bene-
fits and will give employment to an In
creased number of men. A great deal of
money will thus be pat into circulation
which otherwise would probably not have
been turned loose. And when the miners
begin to return from the diggings, if they
have been successful the gold will flow
from liberal hands Miners are proven
bially free spenders. 1t can be seen, there
fore, how and why the Klondike excite
ment is apt to be felt in the business of
the whole country.

One Large and One Respectable.

Frank Sanborn recalls the following
amusing anecdote in his Boston letter to
the Springfield Republican:

town, half a century ago, was a gold dem
ocrat, and his party was at almost as low
an ebb as the Maine democracy now is.
lie called a caucus to choose delegates 10
the Maine conventions, state. county and
congressional. Two persons came, Hanni-
bal himself and John Smith. They elected
a full list of delegates. But when it came
to their credentials a difficulty arose.
Hamlin was chairman of the caucus, and
Smith secretary; but how was the gath
ering to be described? Hamln said: Mr..
Smith, write AT .arge and respectable
caucus of the democrats of H., so-and-so
were chosen delegates to the state con-
vention and then put the names"
But, Squire Hamlin, can we call this
caucus large and respectable, only you and
me?'
why not Mr.. Smith? You are large
and I am respectable; what's the diff
culty?" And the credentials were so
made out.

Nearly q Fatal Accident.

Chief Engineer Jones while superin-
tending repairs being made to the
freight elevator in shop K on Tuesday
had narrow escape from a fatal &C.
cident. AS it is he will carry through
life the scar of severe scalp wound.
He had mounted a ladder to do some
work on a scaffolding in the elevator
shaft. When through he mounted the
ladder to descend. The edge of the
planks against which the ladder leaned
being very greasy from oil the ladder
started to slide into space. Mr.. Jones
grasped for the scaffolding with his
hands but could not maintain hold
on account of it's oily condition. He
dropped distance of eight feet strik-
ing the back portion of his skull near
the base on protruding set-screw in
one of the machines. The blow rem
dered him unconscious. He was i'm
mediately taken to the prison hospital.
DR.. Beebe found it necessary to put
six stitches in the wound. The victim
lost considerable blood, it being thought
at first that the wound was much
deeper. After having the injured part
dressed, Mr.. Jones was able to walk
unaided to a carriage in which he was
driven to his home. He thinks he will
be able to return to his ordinary duties
within day or two, but it may be nee
essary for him to keep to the house
longer to insure no further i'll effects
from the wound.
