Pity for the man who is able to see
only the worlds miseries and wicked
ness. Cheers for him whose soul re-
spends to the joys and goodness in
life. The extent to which fault-fnd-
ing and thinking evil of our fellows
has taken possession Of public thought
in these later days Of the century is
alarming The despairing cry OF
Solomon in an hour of sadness, .'Van-
ity of vanities, All is vanity has been
elaborated into what the distinguished
Chicago divine.N. d. Hills, is pleased
to call the ''Science Of being Miser-
cradle Schopenhauer represented
life as the greatest misfortune, and
death as the greatest blessing. And
his mo- bid philosophy permeates the
writings of large school of later nov
elists and poets like Tolstoi, Ward
Garland and Matthew Arnold. They
form literary School of Despair
whose hateful pessimism is poisoning
our social life. Rich and poor are
alike affected by it and in every case
the influence is pernicious. 1t robs
the face of brightness and stills the
voice Of laughter. 1t breeds frowns
and wrinkles and signs and tears.
For him who believes that life Is not
worth living, it is misery; but for
him whose soul is attuned to the
sweet harmony Of Gods love and ten
der mercies as manifested in his won
derful works of creation and who has
for his inspiration m abiding hope for
better and nobler things life is n grand
privilege. 1t is time for reaction.
1t IS time to laugh the fault-fnders
aud meddlers and calamity howlers
into silence or into good humor. There
is nothing to be gained by always
drinking vinegar in a land that is
flowing with milk aud honey. What
world this would be if every life
were charged with the Herald's mot
to. Full of Sunshine and Good
Cheer"

The Democratic party in the state
OF Wisconsin seems to be hard up for
an issue this fall. The leaders know
that it will be political suicide to
make prominent the endorsement Of
the Chicago platform of 1896 with its
repudiated free-silyer heresy patriotic
democrats will not tolerate as au is
sue the narrow minded fault-finding
with the conduct Uf the Spanish war
that is being pressed in some sections;
the tariff seems to be practically dead
as an issue, all parties accepting the
Dingley bill as wise and beneficial
law State issues are all that is left
to Wisconsin democracy for the cam
paign of 1898, and 50 far they have
been able to present on state issues
nothing but musty echoes of republic
can anti-convention argument. That
republican factions were over-zealous
in their preliminary campaign this
year and made charges and counter
charges that were unwise, and in fact
beneath the dignity Of political is
sue may be admitted. But If DEMO
Gratis have nothing better to offer than
vain mouthings OF what they hope
may divide the republican party, they
may as well close up their headquart-
ers and vote with the populists. Re-
publicans do not always agree as TO
nominees aud local policies but they
are agreed on all essential principles
Of the party and will not be foolish
enough to allow petty rivalries defeat
the triumphant success of their
ticket this fall.

The Murder of Redd and Johnson

In our last issue we only had time to mention the fact that Redd and Johnson, the alleged muder- CTS of N. r. Skipper had been shot down in their cell, in the Monticello iail by. mob. Johnson was killed outright, and Redd who had two rifle or pistol balls through his brain fingered for sey- eral days before death.
 These negroes who had been convicted and twice saved from the g4llows by the action of tine Supreme Court, were believed to be the murderers of Skipper, and the people were wrought up to such an extent, by the Last action of the Supreme Court that they decided to take the law in their own hands. and the result is as a. bove stated.
 To say that the action of the mob was wrong goes without question. and while the members composing il might have felt that the slow process of the courts was inadequate to redress tbe wrong in- flicted by the murder ot their friend, nevertheless, they should have patiently borne their disap- pointment and waited for the ,eeal execution of the negroes
 That they would have been hung in few months, at the outside, scarcely admits of doubt To have shot them down at the time and under the circumstances was not only q great damage to the county but was very high con tempt of the Supreme Court of the State of Arkansas. Ii we are be to governed by law, the courts must be respected, no matter how much their verdiets may differ from our individual opinions. For the bene- fit of society and the protection of the lives of the people and their property courts were instituted, and to them must be given the dis position of all such cases no mat ter however impatient We may grow.
 The simple fact that the mob, under circumstances like the one under consideration, is generally
