everything was left to let the tide do

The Return Of Prosperity.

Even the Popocrats. whose stock in
trade Is calamity, can no longer close
their eyes to the fact that the pros
perity the country formerly enjoyed
under Republican rule, is rapidly re-
turning again. A feeling of confidence
and security once more pervades the
business world Money is again be-
ginning to come forth from its hiding
and circulate freely in the
channels of Industrial expansion.
Every day comes the report of the re-.
opening of mills that were closed under
Democratic rule; of factories working
full crews full time that worked
haif crews half time under the free
trade regime; of the opening of new
mines, and the re-openinG of old ones;
of the building of new railroads, steam
and electric, the establishing of new
steamship lines, of industrial growth
and progress on every hand.

Lvnchinus at the South.

A committee of colored preachers
recently called upon the Governor of
South Carolina to present him with a
report condemning lynchings.
Surprise was expressed at the an
nouncements made that "the best peo-
ple" participated in these crimes and
that former administrations had done
nothing to bring lynchers to justice.
The reports adds: This condition of
affairs is fast becoming alarming l.,
the South, and unless something is
done and done speedily to re-establish
the majesty of the law, decrease
crime and stop lynchings, an era Of
bioodshed carnage and devastation,
such as has never been witnessed I'M
der the Stars and Stripes of the Amer
lean republic will be precipitated upon
u.s."
A few days ago we had a talk up
on this very subject with one of the
leading men of the South. He said: the
best sentiment of the South is rallying
to the support of our courts, and the
maintenance of the supremacy of the
law We claim that. in general. life
and property are as fully protected
in the South today as they are any
where in the country. There is one
crime, however, that will not be per-
mitted to await the slow processes of
the courts The negro who assaults a
white woman will be hunted down and
put to death with the least possible de-
lay. There is absolutely no division of
opinion on this point among the white
men of the South. Wherever crime
of this kind occurs in the South, every
white man within a radius of forty
miles stands ready to devote days and,
ing down and killing the perpetrator of
it. Sometimes northern men criticise us
for this summary method of dealing
with negro rape fiends; but wherever
they have come South to live they are
pretty certain to be found near the
head of the pursuit upon such occa-
sions. For all other crimes lynch law
can be- and, for the most part, has
been done away with in the South;
but there we ere determined to main
tain it, for we fully believe this sum-
mary mode of punishment is absolute
ly necessary to the protection of our
wives and daughters" Hewevermuch
we may deplore the conditions of soci-
ETY.. which lead men to hold views like
this-and to hold them with practical
unanimity, it is essential to an under
standing of the question that we
should have a clear comprehension of
the facts pertaining to it.
The men of the South are very out
spoken upon the subject, and are sharp
ly resentful of Northern criticism,
which they assert comes from igno-
rance of existing conditions in the
South. They declare that men who
have no such a menace to face in their
own communities are not qualified to
criticise the acts of those who do.
What the outcome of this condition
of affairs will be it is difficult to say;
but it unquestionably presents today
the most serious question with which
American civilization is called to deal.

Japan and the Gold Standard.

During the last presidential cam
paign, the free silver orators delighted
TO tell of the glories of Japan; what
prosperous, happy, progressive, ideal
country it was, and how contented,
wcll-fed. well-clothed its people were.
To listen to these glib-tongued apostles
of the public and private reputation
of just debts, one might readily have
conceived that in that far corner of
the Orient, there existed civilization
in the light of whose effulgence that of
our own country. paled into insignifi-
canoe. All this superior greatness and
grandeur of Japan, they further in
formed us, was entirely due to the fac.
that it's currency was upon silver
basis. Recently Japan has gone. upon
a gold basis! 1t may seem strange to
those of US who listened, only a few
short months ago,to the eulogistic flow of
Popocratic oratory, that the great
statesmen of Japan. whose intellects

sterian calibre, should turn their backs
upon all the glories depicted by Pope
cratic orators-and join the great civil
lied nations of the world in the adop-
ton of the gold standard-but just this
| very thing has already come to pass.

The following is the way the Mary
land Democratic platform, which was
dictated by German, endeavors to slide
around the currency question: We
favor honest money, the gold and sill
Yer money of the constitution, and the
coinage of both metals without dis
eliminating against either into stan
dard dollars Of final payment and re-
demption." This is nothing more or
less than an attempt to give the word
gold place in a declaration for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
1t will not deceive the advocates of tn
gold standard, neither is it satisfac-
tory to the free silver men who are At
least more courageous and honest in
their declarations of political faith
than is Mr.. German.

Northwest come similar reports. Even
Nevada and Colorado. where little OF
the free silver sentiment still lingeSs,
are feeling the pulse of returning pros
perity and their people are consequent
ly cheerful and hopeful. 1t Is a pros
perity that all will share in, and IN

of the unemployed is quickly melting

Spanish debt, including, Cuba, amounts
at the present time, to no less than
81, 765, 900 in gold, with a charge for
interest of $4,000, 600. Beyond this is
$19,000,000 interest for liabilities Oh
operations in Cuba, which means %
per cent additional to the debt. The

That Was Different.

Oh, he preached it from the housetops,
and he whispered 1t by stealth;
He wrote whole miles of stuff against
the awful curse of wealth.
He shouted for the poor man, and he
called the rich man down.
He roasted every king and queen who
dared to wear a crown,
He hollered for rebellion. and he said
he'd head a band
To eXterminatc the millionaireS, to SWEEP
them from the land.
He yelled against monopolics, took shots
at every trust,
And swore he'd be an anarchist, TO grind
them in the dust.
He stormed, he fumed and ranted, till he
made the rich men vince:
But an uncle left him money, and he
