such other delay proceedings as will serve to postpone the trial from court to court until some loophole of escape presents itself. Sucn cases drag on from year to year, overwhelming the counties with debt, creating dlstrust in the courts, and many have resulted in the indictments being quashed and the whole matter being thrown out of court without trial. The criminal docket ought to be cleared absolutely at every term of court. Such is possible, and nothing should stand in the way of it. When this becomes the rule, lynching will become the ex- ception.

Some idea may be obtained of tAe extent and enormity of the pension steal that is going on in this country by consulting the figures recently published by the pension department for the past fiscal year. From these figures it is learned that 33,69l pensioners have been dropped from the rolls on account oi deaths, and for remarrying and Q her causes l2,960 or a total of 46,65l. One would think that the rapid plotting out of the accounts of the pensioners would decrease the number but such is not the

There was general sorrow among

There was general sorrow among tAe friends of Rev. John Class, when his death was announced te,e. He died early last Friday morning at Pendleton, s. C., where he had gone for recreation. Mir. Glass was rector of Christ church, Little Rock, for nearly four years, a Id left last June for Atlanta on account of failing health. No m ire fitting tribute could be writ t,a than the following, from the Arkansas Democrat: Gr
 "Thcre was sorrow in many a hoashold yesterday, for no mem- Der of the clergy ever resided in little Rock who was more popular with all denominations and with the public in general. No man ever did more for the morai and spiritual W welfare of the community during a residence of the same length of time. He was good man in every sense of the word, aad the world is better for his having lived in it. He was a friend of Little Rock and loved its people, They will revere his memory and place a wreath upon the mound where his ashes lie May he sleep well, and God grant 2 glorious awakening in the morn iag of the resurrection"

To Prevent Lynchings.

Many ideas have been advanced by citizens and the press which, in their respective minds, will stop lynchings.
 The officers of the law have it Tn their power to prevent them. There is no use to deny this, nor wink at it. They should be held to accountable in some manner suffi- cient to require them to assert their authority.
 The following from the Bates. vile Guard expresses our sentl- ments on the subject:
 "Since the recent sensational lynching at Clarendon, the columns of the state press have thundered with denunoiation of the act and demands for measures to prevent such occurrences in ihe future. Dc. nouncing the people of Clarendon, as certain newspapers are doing, will accomplish nothing; and moral lectures on the subJeo are slow m the production of desirable results. If the next legislature will enact q law peremptorily vacating the of. flee of sheriff whenever a lynching shall occur in Il county and making the sheriff and each of his deputi es ineligible to appointment and re- election, a wholesome check will be placed on the mob. Such a law would have prevented the lynch ing at Clarendon and the more re. cent lynching in Grant county. Mobs arc successful only when the sheriff is inactive.
 It has been suggested that if the counties were made liable for pecu- mary damages for Iynching, the taxpayers would take lively inter- est Tn such proceedings. These suits would have to be enforced through the Federal courts, as local sentiment would often defeat them in the local tribunals. But VIC should not feel disposed to clothe the Federal courts with any more power than they now pos sess. The sheriff IS the proper officer to protect prisoners and control mobs, and he can be com pelled. in the manner indicated, to do both."
